Start after step 5, the first steps up until there are to kill your phone, so you don't need to as you already have.

Since you were on 1.06 when you bricked, I think you have a very good chance at succeeding with this method. Try it, can't hurt.

You won't be able to save your 0p4 from your phone so you will have to make your own from the example provided...do this in preparation for the last steps of the thread/process:

"a null p4 is included in the unbrick package if you didn't save your backup.. you will need to hex edit your IMEI into this file. the offset is 0x21c, it's after 11111111, which is the SuperCID"

Big Thanks!

So there might be some hope. Just a small matter of that method being deprecated by the OP and aside from the attached Ville.zip none of the links work.

I've sent mirGantrophy a PM so I might be lucky - unless you know of an update. I can't be the only dipstick who's done this.
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
All you need is that attached zip...all the needed info is there

And actually, since you are not using the killp4, you won't need the 0p4 at all. Just write the new hboot and see what happens.

What exactly is the issue now though? Can you get to bootloader, recovery?

[HTC One S] ATSPerson:
The device booted up into the custom Sense Rom I had on it before I had to reset the qserial driver after pushing the new hboot. In fact the terminal is still waiting for the device from that procedure. I'm assuming I can just close this now as everything appears to be?

Also just so I'm clear about the current status: All this has done is to restore the phone to the state before I bricked it. The underlying radio problem with formerly S-Offed devices will still be a feature, right? At least I didn't see any other "magic" going into the phone

Oh and it's S-On (obviously) with the 1.06 hboot so almost as good as S-Off anyway!

Thanks again for your help

[HTC One S] ATSPerson:
As far as I can see yes. I haven't had a chance to give the phone a good work through, but it boots up, stays booted up. I can power it down, and boot it up again and it stays booted. I can make calls, sms, take pictures.

I think I'll just flash a standard AOSP ROM and leave it alone for a bit now though.

Lesson learnt.
[HTC One S] bombina:
Wait, so how did you brick your phone again? I was under the impression that since you were in Europe, that the OTA didn't effect your S-Off. So you are currently S-On with the signal/data problems?
[HTC One S] ATSPerson:
Yes so now I'm S-On with intermittent signal. What got me into this state was running the vanilla WWE 3.16 RUU.

Obvious conclusion is that the issue isn't confined to the TMous update.

Running the RUU did something to mess up the partitions when the secure flags were rewritten. I've been S-Offing process many times over the last few days. The problem only occurs at the application of the Soffbin3 file. The first boot after that everything looks good: the Rom boots, the status bar appears but there's just a black screen. The a message about preparing storage appears...and stays. So you boot up again. This time it boots, tries to load and reboots...and so it goes.

So I still need to jtag to get a decent radio.

Sent from my back from the dead One S
[HTC One S] bombina:
Yep, that bootloop after "preparing storage" is pretty much we all faced. Only way to get out of that mess was to take away SuperCID/S-ON, flash the stock JB recovery, relock bootloader, and then RUU. After that, if you wish, you can unlock bootloader and flash a custom recover/ROM -- problem is that signal issue can never be fixed. I just got the new phone today, not obviously going to try to SuperCID/S-OFF...guess it will like back to old times.
[HTC One S] c19932:
Hey guys, I think I soft-bricked my phone =[[

I did this S-OFF method months ago, and just now I did the firmware update. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322755) After the update, I cant boot into any roms.

1) aosp with 3.4 kernel: boot into boot animation, then the phone restarts and back to splash screen.

2) aosp with 3.0 kernel: doesn't even get pass splash screen. Seems like the 3.0 kernel doesnt even get written to the phone. I tried fastbooting the 3.0 kernel and it did boot into the rom, but there was no signal and unknown baseband.

3) sense roms: boot into a black screen with only the status bar, then the phone restarts.

Could someone tell me what I could do to get this phone fully functional again? I did not read this thread beforehand so I already tried running different RUUs. (and of course, that didnt help).

any help is appreciated. thank you
[HTC One S] ATSPerson:
Read the last few entries in this thread and join the club.

There's good news and there's two lots of bad news. The good news is that your phone is easily fixable. The bad news is you will have to S-On to save it. The other bad news is that you will probably find your radio is buggered (if you'll excuse my French).

You can use Hasoons AIO tool to S-on, reboot and you'll find your rom. But say bye bye to happy flashing. And there are some radio fixes that have helped me. The APN apk http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42454551here seems to have done the trick for tho tbh I think it might be a deeper problem than corrupt APNs.

Good luck.

can i do thos if I already installed CM10.1?
[HTC One S] c19932:
Thanks a lot. I did s on, relocked bootloader, and like you said the signal is all ****ed up. I just sent it to warranty since my power button is ****ed up too. I mentioned to them that my signal is ****ed up since the latest update so hopefully they will do a complete reset on the

One question. Let's say when I get the phone back the software is like brand new. Would you think it's safe for me to run a RUU to the latest jellybean rom and hboot, unlock boot loader, install custom recovery, and put on a aosp rom and kernel? If I leave s on then everything should be OK right? No more signal problem?
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
WOW so this is what is causing my data/signal drop issues? Where sometimes I drop signal and have to hit airplane mode to revive? This sucks. I don't have a carrier specific RUU for Cincinnati Bell wireless either but I do have paid insurance. Not sure how to go about claiming it if I can't get the Cincinnati Bell RUU installed with the Cincinnati Bell bootsplash. I need to claim my phones but not sure how I should send it back? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC One S] bombina:
Now that Moonshine exists, I recommend you grab the latest T-Mobile RUU, flash it and then Moonshine it, which will S-OFF it. Now with that, you can pretty much do anything from changing your HBoot, flashing new radios, etc. Try it and see if it fixes your data/signal issues. Like I said, worst case scenario, just call them and request a new phone and complain. They will take you through the usual protocols, which is a waste of time for the most of us since we have already tried it ourselves. Don't stress too much about now having a Bell RUU in before sending it in, because as soon as the phone gets there, they usually wipe it. As long as you don't have any physical damage on the phone, you should not get charged. So backup your data and try Moonshine first (after flashing the T-Mobile RUU (HBoot 2.15)) -- let us know how it goes!
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
Wow thanks for the great answer bud I appreciate your help. It seems hard to get good help around here, so much hatin lol.
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
The only problem with that is he cannot run a tmobile ruu without a tmobile phone due to the model id check (not cid).

Maybe if you could just flash the firmware package somehow, then just flash a tmobile ROM.

Yep, this just slipped my mind, I forgot that it was not CID based. Darn. Now sure how you can flash HBoot without being S-OFF though. Not sure how to get you on the 2.15 firmware, if you had T-Mobile or Bell, it would have been easy. You might have to send in your phone.
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
Keep in mind, this is a common issue on 3.4 kernel based roms...so if that is what you have been running lately then just wait it out. I believe droid pretty well had that licked on carbon.

facepalm s-off will not work with hboot 2.15 (correct me if im wrong)
[HTC One S] PeQuEsan:
I would say Facepalm won't work with last firmware update (which should still include HBOOT 2.15 if I recall well), as it locks p4 (readonly), which is needed to get SuperCID. BUT, HBOOT 2.15 came with JB OTA, back in december. SO, HBOOT 2.15 doesn't mean you can't use Facepalm.

Hi

I am having trouble about being s-off with my new device.

Here is my story.

First i unlocked my bootloader via htcunlock.Then I flashed twrp recovery and installed super su via twrp nothing special.

I want to check my cid by executing

fastboot getvar cid

it gives me 11111111 i didnt do anyting about to be super cid, its from factory.No problems at all until this stage.

Then I exactly use commands and files(checked md5 before flashing or using it) as OP.Here is my output:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/s7mu0gmomvyi0oz/ones.JPG

I execute

adb reboot bootloader

but still my device is S-ON

Then i tried moonshine 3.16.666.9 (BM) but out of luck.

Here is my device specs:

S4 variant(I confirmed with cpu identifier)

Not branded(international version)

Base:3.16.401.8 Stock rom just rooted.Stock boot.img

Bootloader details in picture.

Best regards.

EDIT:Tried with unsecured boot.img and i get success.

If it doesn't work you need to start again at the very beginning. Please note: if it doesn't work the first time you'll most likely get an error 99 instead of error 92 on subsequent attempts so you need to simulate a battery pull if you see that and start again.

Can i Super Cid and S off on this device or not?

if i can can u please specify the processes pls.

i tried all processes but supercid gives me error 99 unknown.

and to say it clear i have updated JB OTA update long ago and never did supercid before that.(sounds dumb but i have been recently into this rom's etc).
[HTC One S] crnkoj:
So i talked with beaups on irc and he gave me a solution for supercid on the 3.16.401.8 and .9 versions, you just have to write this in adb shell with su permission:

echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20

and you will have supercid, than you can use facepalm to s-off like normally

Just to be perfectly clear, you have to copy paste the exact lines, if you fail to do so you have a hard brick.

Beaups or i cannot be held responsible if anything you do with this information will break your phone.
[HTC One S] nozzla:
hi, having an issue with the "dd£ part of this. not a recognised command?! help.
[HTC One S] crnkoj:
Honestly mate if you have no idea what dd is or how to get it to your rom you shouldn't be doing these things...

Just so you won't say I'm a jerk, dd is a Linux command, that directly writes data to a partition, file or drive/device. In Android you get it normally in custom roms already as part of the integrated busybox or you need to install it yourself, easiest way to do that is to install it from the play store. I myself just used cyanogenmod nightly, as it's the simplest and safest option in my opinion.

Again by messing with the above command and sound something wrong you can hard brick your phone. So you do it on your own responsibility.
[HTC One S] leit4444:
It is good practice to create a backup before ;)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/storage/sdcard0/mmcblk0p5

You never know, what you need it for :)

BTW: Anyone tried this with success?

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

Maybe dd is not in the path. Is it in /bin, /sbin, /xbin or whatever? Don't have my ville with me. Otherwise you have to install it.
[HTC One S] crnkoj:
Backup won't help you if you screwed it up... And once you soff you can just return cid back to original value with fastboot command
[HTC One S] leit4444:
Why testing? We didn't order any bugs. ;)

Never mind, it's just not advice. Remember the old saying: The wise administrator always has a backup at hand.
