:cool:

Every instance so far where someone has had this issue AND succeeded seems to require AT LEAST wiping data, but sometimes as much as an RUU flash to stock, and at worst, a complete RUU, re-lock, and start from scratch as if the phone was fresh out of the box.

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Why do you people keep insisting this? Because the OP "demanded" that nobody do it? That won't hold water and so far I can't see any reason a one-click can't be made. It might not be safe and since only the noobs would "need" it, it's likely a bad idea, but there are those like myself who will often create such scripts because they end up being useful for any number of reasons and I'll be damned if someone things that in an OPEN DEVELOPMENT community, that something like a SCRIPT won't be released because someone said so.

Your reply to this person is offensive on so many levels. You could at least take time to explain yourself (or link to such an explanation).

rainabba,

This is not an OPEN DEVELOPMENT community, this is a public development community. We made decisions not to obfuscate what is going on, so the community could learn, but choose to keep the rights and source to the project. It is free for personal use, but not opensource and not free to distribute.

Hell I remember you flipping out over someone distributing a GPL licensed binary you compiled, you have no room to talk here.

You like to cause problems with any AndIRC related project (time and time again), you have issues with us it is very clear, but I'm going to ask you nicely to just go away. If you don't like how we handle our projects, go create your own instead of complaining.

[HTC Droid DNA] jerdog:
Hmm - beaups IS the OP so he CAN state (not demand - see the difference?) that there will be no "one-click". One-clicks for the general public for something like this are generally not a good idea. I don't care if you create your own scripts to flush the toilet when you're done! This is not your script, and until you come up with a piece of work like this I suggest you calm down and stop harassing this team. You've been asked multiple times, quite nicely I might add, so I suggest you move along. Take that as your final warning.

Hi beaups and other devs,

I believe this method will work for HTC Butterfly X920D as well. Will you guys be implementing the s-off method to X920d?

If you require any help, please feel free to ask.

[HTC Droid DNA] LakerStar25:
I just finished going threw the exact same thing. What I did was what beaups said to do and basically do

Re-lock

RUU to stock

take the OTA (make sure you still have supercid first, just in case)

Unlock

Root

S-OFF

But I did it from instructions from this thread and it worked http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2152993

It's basically Re-lock then RUU to stock then Unlock take the OTA update then flash recovery then root with superuser zip and proceed to S-OFF instructions

[HTC Droid DNA] riot1031:
Damn, I can't win. I RUU'd back to stock and I'm still getting stuck at the white HTC screen!!

Edit: At this point I've tried two different recoveries, three different kernels, RUUing to stock and a combination of all three, and still no S-OFF. I don't know what else to try at this point!

Edit: I WIN!! Patience is key here. I wasn't giving enough time between commands! After issuing the "fastboot oem rebootRUU" command, I was entering the next command as soon as the black HTC screen came up. This last time I waited a full minute, and the computer kept chiming like the phone was being connected disconnected a few times. I then issued the next command, and gave it another minute while the computer chimed a few times. Rebooted, and success, not stuck at the white HTC screen anymore!!

I have superCID, when I get to the error of installing the zip, it doesn't boot when I do the fastboot oem boot. It just hangs in boot up.

[HTC Droid DNA] Stryker1297:
actually 111111 is just as fine. it just means you used the original jcase exploit instead of a later easier method. i had 111111 but it worked beaitifully for me
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Re: [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA

The easier method also gave you a cid of all 1s until recently when htc patched it. Then beaups changed it to all 2s
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
That was for unlocking the bootloader from htcdev.com, as long as its he has superCID 1's or 2's it will work... HTC blocked all 1's (for unlocking the bootloader from htcdev.com) and then when the OTA hit HTC blocked 1's 2's 3's 4's 5's 6's 7's 8's 9's and 0's that why it doesnt work after the OTA (for unlocking the bootloader at htcdev.com)

for the s-off process you just need to have superCID (doesnt matter when you did it as long as you have either 1's or 2's)

Have u tried the stock ICS rooted rom? I used a de-odexed version of it and got it working just fine. When using adb, even the slightest spacing oversight can make a command fail.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Updated op (end of post) with new method to address the "stuck on white screen" issue for DNA users.

For those of you with error 99, you need to do some real power downs. Also, clear cache in recovery.

Place the PJ8312000.zip in the platform-tools folder under android on your PC. Also you can rename the file "rom" so its easier to type, less of a chance to type something wrong.

[HTC Droid DNA] J-tek:
FYI,

I tried this after having bought my DNA same day and successfully rooting it with the cid-2/SuperSU method and installing TWRP 2.4.0.0.

I went through all the Facepalm S-off steps seemingly successfully getting 92 error, (my logs looked exactly as those of successful "S-off'ers"). But the bootloader was still reporting "S-on".

When I tried again I didn't get the 92 error just the 99. I tried this 3 more times and never got the 92 error again.

So I restored my backup (ALWAYS BACKUP FIRST!) and tried again. This time I DID get the 93 error again but still when I rebooted it was still set to "S-on".

I then noticed that many people reporting success in this thread were using custom kernels and ROMs.

So I flashed the latest Cubed kernel and Hatka ROM.

Then after running through the Facepalm S-off procedure once more the bootloader now reports S-off.

So for anyone having difficulty try flashing a different kernel and ROM first.

THANKS AGAIN TO THOSE RESPONSIBLE!

Did the PL8320000-DNA.zip install for anybody else? I didn't even get error 92 or 99 or any other error. It actually installed.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Post the whole cmd prompt log. Sounds like you may have messed up somewhere.
[HTC Droid DNA] weehooherod2:
The log is gone at this point. My DNA is acting really strangely. It always gave me error 99 so I tried the suggestions found in this thread to no avail. Then I noticed that when I "fastboot oem lock" it is only locked until I reboot. So I ran "fastboot oem rebootRUU", then "fastboot oem lock", then "fastboot flash zip RUU.zip" (RUU.zip was the stock restore zip, just so I could start from square one). Then, still error 99. So then I ran "fastboot oem rebootRUU", then "fastboot oem lock", then "fastboot flash zip PL8320000-DNA.zip". It unfortunately ran through with no errors at all. Which means it updated my hboot version so I can no longer run the RUU.zip. Lol now I wiped my System in TWRP without realizing that the RUU wiped the storage so I have no rom to flash. ADB access won't work in CWM/TWRP either.

No RUU possible, no rom installed so I can't transfer a rom, adb in TWRP/CWM doesn't work. Shoot.

EDIT: Does anybody have a copy of their DNA's system in a system.img format? I need to flash a system.img over fastboot just so I can get this darn thing to turn on.

Or, does anybody know how to make a signed zip to flash via the bootloader?
[HTC Droid DNA] fdp24:
weehooherod2:

you can mount sdcard in twrp recovery (in advanced), you can copy zip or twrp backup, if you have one to sdcard.

restore in twrp if it is twrp backup or install if it is zip.

good luck.

re: as long as you can boot into bootloader, things are not so bad..
[HTC Droid DNA] lazarus2297:
I am not sure flashing a system.img in fastboot works.. but I think the RUU contains .img files if you extract it..

also like fdp24 said if you can get into fastboot then you should be able to flash a new recovery and if you use CWM you can adb sideload a ROM.zip (I am not familiar with TWRP so i can't comment on if TWRP supports this or not)

[HTC Droid DNA] phydo:
What he's saying is that the soff process would work fine on the ota if you have supercid. This is important because that means the soff method isn't "fixed". Big difference. I'm thankful for that because a normal root exploit could still get us soff.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
no, not entirely true, the only reason this worked in this case is because of the SuperCID exploit... the next one might be different where it will only get you root but not s-off or vice versa (because they are two completely different processes) well if you get s-off first then it would be possible to root but not the other way around.
