Please bare with me... I don't understand what you are say. Is the file Sonic posted HBOOT 1.44 good or bad and should I should I not flash it? I don't want to mess with anything I don't have to. I must have misread his post earlier. I thought he said to be on the safe side flash 1.44.

EDIT:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sonic2756:
I flashed it and everything's fine for me. I never post things without testing them first.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lluke04:
Thanks for the reply. I figured you wouldn't. I am just new and don't want to mess up my phone. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Certainly wasn't implying Sonic doesn't know what he is doing..

I was implying that the people that don't understand what this is, be careful.

flashing an hboot there is always risk of brick..

but with S-OFF there is always a risk with brick really, that's what makes S-OFF so desirable, you can do with the phone as you please.

If Sonic says that that hboot is safer, then that is the route I would go.

He is a very smart man and very glad we have him!

otherwise this forum would be deaddd

thanks again Sonic!

now the waiting game to get the phone back :)

looking at the revone site, I am sure you already tried this but

"Reverting to S-ON (updated)

* ./revone -l

* fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"

have you tried the first command?

./revone -l

or do you do the first command, then the fastboot oem writesecureflag 3?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] deli pastrami:
Ugh...another incoming nub question as I am also confused.

Are these the correct steps to take?

1)get phone s-off from sonic

2)flash this 1.44 ruu

3)htc dev unlock

4)revone su

5)recovery

6)install rom

sorry for the noob question

also what does this mean "Edit: You're going to have to edit the android-info.txt to match your device info."
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
S-ONing a device with an unsigned HBOOT will brick the device no question. That's why secureflag 3 is failing, it checks the signature on the HBOOT before changing the flag.

If you look at the revision of revone, they used to allow you to use revone to S-ON, but it bypassed the signature checks so they removed it.

The same security against random S-ON can be achieved by flashing a hex edited 1.54 HBOOT. As soon as anything in the HBOOT is changed from factory, it will no longer pass signature checks and will deny the secure flag change.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
thank you for this, I knew this, but totally slipped my mind!

this is great info!

esp once/if ENG hboots come for us or the regawMOD customizer.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lluke04:
Thanks you sir! :)

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

How do you flash a hex edited 1.54 HBOOT? I understand the concept which is great, cause we don't want the random S-On... I just didn't get the part about hex edited 1.54 HBOOT.

Thanks for everyone's help! :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
Someone has to make one first, should happen pretty quickly once people start getting their phones back. Mine should show up tomorrow hopefully and I'll start taking a look.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lluke04:
Thanks! :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pete450:
Sorry, I'm a little confused, can someone please confirm what I am understanding:

Flashing a downgraded or hex edited hboot will prevent from accidentally going s-on, thus, preventing accidental brick?

Edit: Isn't it easier to brick while s-off, because you can flash anything to the device, even if its wrong?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
You can flash whatever you want (including things that will brick it) with S-OFF. You just can't turn S-ON with unsigned HBOOT (because that would brick it only for security reasons) because it now checks the signature before changing the secure flag.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] msisaac:
Seems that there is confusion about exactly what hboot 1.44 provides. Hopefully I'm understanding this correctly as I don't want to give people bad information...

If you S-OFF your phone, then downgrade HBOOT to 1.44 from 1.54, this will effectively prevent Verizon or yourself from accidentally or purposely S-ONing the phone again. The phone will refuse to S-ON because the signature check on hboot 1.44 will fail. So the phone will essentially be permanently stuck in S-OFF, which is a good thing if you want to remain S-OFF. If that's not correct, then please someone with more knowledge of these things please correct me so that everyone can understand.

This won't prevent you from bricking your device from bad flashes. In fact, it's just the opposite. With S-OFF, the chances of you bricking your phone are HIGHER because there are no more security checks preventing bad flashes.

Other than preventing S-ON, does 1.44 provide any other benefits or have any shortcomings over the 1.54 hboot?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
Yes. Well explained.

With regards to benefits or shortcomings, we really don't know yet since not many people are using it and we don't exactly have patch notes for HBOOTs.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sonic2756:
You can use revone for lock/unlock and to remove tampered.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zwitterion:
Thanks, but there is still an ambiguity in what is written below that I would like cleared up. When you say the chances of bricking your phone is higher because of the possibility of a bad flash, are you saying so because S-Off gives folks the chance to flash anything to anywhere OR that the lack of security checks means that something otherwise safely flashed (i.e. a ROM through recovery) is now more dangerous because of the deactivation of built-in security checks? In other words, is there any difference in danger of flashing something with S-OFF that could otherwise be successfully flashed when only having an unlocked bootloader?

I want to flash ROMs like I did with my Galaxy Nexus. I have no interest in flashing radios, splashscreens or tampering with sensitive partitions. My reason for getting S-OFF is that it is currently the only way to get an unlocked bootloader. But I will not have this done if makes otherwise safe flashing, dangerous.

Any clarity would be appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
Were you using revone,or just fastboot commands? What was the exact error you recieved?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
its being said that the risk is higher with s off,becasue the phone will let you flash a critical partition with an unsigned file. i.e.,a corrupt or damaged,incomplete fbootloader or radio file will brick the device. if you dont flash anything other than roms in recovery,you are fine. flash away.

just use caution if you flash ANYTHING via the bootloader: know what youre flashing and why,and check the integrity of your download with an md5 summer.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pete450:
This is a very important step that must not be skipped for any reason, unless you enjoy expensive paper weights.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
so technically since my phone will be coming back with the tampered flag, if I cared enough to remove it, I would flash this hboot, then use the revone code to remove the tampered, then I could technically flash back to our stock hboot and stock CID?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
Yes. Assuming that HBOOT is susceptible of course. Not enough of us have our phones to play!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
That is correct. Just make sure you're careful with your hboot file :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
perfect, thank you guys very much.

I don't think I will be doing it, all I care about in that screen is it saying S-OFF, tampered doesn't phase me personally.

I still think it'd be cool to have this for our phone.

It was a lot of fun playing with it on the Inc4

run this command?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sonic2756:
Not 100% positive but I believe I tested that before posting and it worked fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cbrown245:
Is this Hboot Encrypted or Decrypted ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Good question, what happens if it is, or isn't?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] daavvis:
I believe s- off is required to flash unencrypted ruu... S-on can flash encrypted...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
i guess you could say its "decrypted" since you can open the zip file and view the image inside ;)

a better way to explain it,is that while s on,you can only flash "signed" files. it so happens that htc's signed,official files are encrypted,but they have not always been.

if you wish to flash any file that did not come from htc(such as this one) then you need to be s-off.

for the record,i dont think flashing an older hboot intended for gsm or sprint(not sure where the download came from) is neccessary. while it doesnt seem to ahve had any consequence,it really doesnrt have any advantage.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cbrown245:
If you are rooted or S-off there is no advantages or disadvantages ..........
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Syn Ack:
Just flash Hboot 1.44 after you get your S-Off, and then use the revone command to remove the tampered flag and you're good to go.

If you are not an advanced user and/or have never heard of or researched Hboot's and HTC bootloaders then I highly recommend not doing this. The risk for bricking your device is quite high if you're doing this for the first time.

Copied (and tweaked a little bit) from the Revone post in the original XDA HTC One forum. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314582

* Get the Android SDK for ADB. You may need to update to the latest version of the SDK for jellybean devices.

* Download revone: http://revolutionary.io/revone

Instructions

Use any operating system you like, you only need adb.

1. Download revone (above) and push it to your device: adb push revone /data/local/tmp/

2. Open an adb shell and:

* cd /data/local/tmp

* chmod 755 revone

3. (optional) If your device is unlocked and rooted please switch to root using su.

4. Prepare your device for Revone by running the command: ./revone -P

4a. If revone reports success reboot the device and proceed to step 5)

4b. If revone reboots the device (we'll pretend this isn't an undiagnosed random crash) please wait 2 minutes then try again from step 2.

4c. If revone reports that you need to reboot and try again please reboot and try again from step 2.

5. Now that revone has successfully prepared your device, please open another adb shell (as per step 2) and change to

the /data/local/tmp directory.

Don't click this, skip this, you already have S-Off

6. Instruct revone to grant you S-OFF and unlock status by running the command: ./revone -s 0 -u

6a. Type in the command ./revone -u to unlock the bootloader. Skip if already unlocked.

6b. Type in the other optional commands below similar to above. ./revone -t should remove the tampered flag.

* -u - Unlock the device

* -l - Lock the device (as if it was never unlocked)

* -r - Relock the device (mark the device as relocked)

* -t - Reset the device's tamper flag.

7. Presuming revone reported success please reboot the device again, this time to the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)

8. You should now observe your device is S-OFF (and the lock status changed if you invoked that option).

9. (optional) Re-run revone to reset TAMPERED from your HBOOT screen: ./revone -t
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
You definitely don't need to do all that. You can leave hboot 1.54 and get rid of tampered with one adb command

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
It depends on what you mean by /data. Currently, the internal SD is shared. It's possible to share /data/app and /data/app-asec without too much trouble (so apps aren't downloaded twice). If you're looking to share /data/data (app settings), I don't think I'll implement that, as least not for all apps. I don't think it's a good idea to have to have a blacklist of apps that can't have their data shared, such as launchers.
