S-Off gives you dowgrading authority and you can reset your device to factory condition completely to avail warranty.

Without s-off also all custom rom work perfect. But you need to have unlocked bootloader for that

Supercid let you flash any ruu so if you have US based device and European device get updated you can convert your phone to european and get OTA before your friends lol.
[One (M7) General] sopaj96:
Thanks man!:)

But if I have s-off us that like root or unlocked bootloader? What can I do with it except supercid and changin bootloader text ?

Sorry for the stupid questions but I just want to learn more about how HTC works when it comes to hacking :)
[One (M7) General] hapticc:
Basically after s-off you can access all partion of your device. It give you option to completely convert to htc one google edition and then you can reset your one to stock factory condition for warranty or sale purpose.

Other than that its not of much use on htc one. Just bootloder unlock allows you to run every custom rom available. S-off is important if you want to get back to 100% stock
[One (M7) General] sopaj96:
Okay so if I get this fight...

Do s-off--->unlock bootloader----> root

Then to get back 100%stock I make use of s-off?
[One (M7) General] electronical:
Don't bloat this thread with off-topic discussion. XDA moderators have enough work already. This thread is

not

about explaining S-OFF to n00bs. For all your questions, refer to the One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. Search there before asking. Your question has already been answered like a few thousand times. And i'm even going to provide you with the link to make sure you don't get lost and loop back in here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2117
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
If I understood enough of the S-OFF process I used, you have to be bootloader unlocked beforehand, then get S-OFF, and then root if you want, though you don't need root to flash a custom rom, if you intend to do that.
[One (M7) General] hapticc:
As there are no ruu for 4.2.2 so you cant keep get back to stock easily. If u have s-off you can downgrade your software and accept OTA and return to stock without the hassel. Though there are ways for everything some are complicated and some are not available for every region hence s-off along with supercid can overcome that barrier
[One (M7) General] Prema:
That's correct. People will have to get their bootloader unlocked at htcdev before the upcoming S-Off method works on M7_UL.

He said otherwise we would need to dig for an additional kernel exploit, which is a pitta on a device with so many different versions...
[One (M7) General] exocetdj:
Only maybe a problem with warranty if imei number is entered into htcdev but so many benefits otherwise ?
[One (M7) General] sopaj96:
LoL, but if I s-off I can get back to 4.1.2 and go back to stock that way?:)

And also, will the 1.54 hboot be for international version?
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
Yes you can get back to stock that way. If you flash the full RUU while S-OFF, you can go back to S-ON with a fastboot command, then use revone to set the bootloader "locked" instead of "relocked". :)
[One (M7) General] g33mt4z:
here's an xda thread on setting up qpst http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1180211 and I'm still looking for more information for you :)

Edit:

Hmm, it really doesn't sound like this is recoverable without sending it into htc, apparently you can't use QPST to push another hboot unless it's signed, and i read about using Linux to solve bricks for evo 4g and even then its not possible to push a hboot unless it's the same version as the one that was already there... So, even if this did work, you'd still be s-on.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522351
[One (M7) General] alasdair.grant:
Yes, that's the conclusion I've come to as well. Maybe we are wrong but I think I'll just take it into Telstra and pay for a repair. It was worth a shot.
[One (M7) General] Spartn:
Just info.. i was able to update from 1.28.401 to 2.24.401 using mouse instead of touchscreen (no driver) if it worked from 1.20.401 that woud be great :)
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
There's a fix for the hox etc for qhsusb..... Might work for ours too.

Also can't you use the old downgrader method? I'll attach a zip in a bit....
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
I'm gonna try this.... Think I know how I can bypass....
[One (M7) General] alasdair.grant:
I saw the old unbrick thread... I couldn't get the scripts working. My Ubuntu VM struggled to see the phone. I've taken the phone in for repair. Please be careful mate, maybe not worth two of us bricking but I understand your OCD mindset.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
I wonder if using the phone via Cygwin could work..... Or maybe even a full Linux system....

possible qhsusb_dload fix?
[One (M7) General] alasdair.grant:
Yeah was going to try full install but decided to give up and take it in. Tired after 3 months of trying to downgrade. Doubt cygwin would work smoothly.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Ahh, suppose that's probably for the best....

I love cygwin man haha, never had any issues ever lol..... even with ruuveal and such...
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
OK So I attempted to "Upgrade" my HBoot using the Dev Ed. RUU.exe. I pulled it apart and edited the android-info.txt within the RUU ulility itself to match my phone then ran it...... Everything seemed to be going OK until suddenly it failed.... Looked at the log and it states failed on MID.... Looking in to it there's still an android-info.txt within the damn encrypted rom.zip that contains all the wrong info!! Had a look at the t-mobile downgrade RUU which is essentially the same as what I tried and somehow xboarder has managed to remove the android-info.txt from within the rom.zip but leave it encrypted and signed by HTC.... Does anyone have any idea at all about how he could have done this? Do you think he has access to private key? ruuveal will let you encrypt it but not properly and it wouldn't flash to an S-ON device.....

If we can find out a way to remove the file from the rom.zip then I have sooooo many things I want to try!!

cheers chaps!
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
I can confirm that replacing the rom.zip with an re-encrypted rom.zip with android-info.txt removed didn't work... No log file at all so I assume it simply failed on signature check straight away....
[One (M7) General] MrKaon:
Are you guys trying to find a way to downgrade HB to 1.44 while S-ON?
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:

This guy's an RC so i'm inclined to beleive the good chap :)
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Yeh I saw this earlier... I wonder if it's like the HBoot versions of old where randomly certain HBoot's simply couldn't be exploited. There's probably something within 1.55 and the new 4.3 android that allows it to be exploited and revolutionary team already know what it is lol...
[One (M7) General] tbalden:
so if this comes true, the american CID S-On with 4.3 update will have a chance with the 1.55 hboot, and then when WWE 4.3 rolls out for European cids in a few months, european phones can rejoice as well.

Oh, well, a couple of months i'll have to wait with my UK wwe phone :)
[One (M7) General] exocetdj:
Could quite possibly be (hope htc don't cotton on and patch the fookin hboot lol!!!!!

Im hoping so with this!

Failing the above im going to fonefunshop my phone but cant stand to be without my one!!!!
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Surely it's not going to be a couple of months for Europe? HTC_UK have stated

And although soon could mean anything I would be very surprised if it means months.... Especially as the Taiwan version has updated already, at the end of the day the main bulk of phones will be WWE.....
[One (M7) General] exocetdj:
Think europe is getting sense 5.5 with 4.3 - this was from Hamdirs thread
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
ahhhhh

OK that would make 'sense' then ;)
[One (M7) General] sopaj96:
You said go back to s-on then use revone to set bootloader to locked, but that requires me to have s-off right? So I can just leave s-off forever, that would be smarter right?:)

Do you know if it will be out for the international version? Som say only m7-UL :S
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
You don't need to set to S-ON ever but if you absolutely have to, there are ways. :)

The M7_ul is the international version with LTE. M7_u is the 3G version.
[One (M7) General] exocetdj:
I'm just looking forward to the absolute freedom, but with that goes risks and responsibilities ?

S off will teach great things to some and ruin others if caution, patience and attention to detail I.e reading guides etc are not observed :D
[One (M7) General] sopaj96:
Oh, just saw that I have the m7_ul :P

Alot of people are talking about that the phone can break... Is that if I use it as a normal root phone too? I am planning on using root for roms and root for apps lllike luckypatcher :) As long as I don´t mess with my phone in recovery and on my pc trying to do stuff I will be fine right?

Thanks so much for taking your time to help me :laugh:

Men herregud såg nu att du är från sverige, och här sitter vi och skriver på engelska hahah xD
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
(most) roms are already rooted so no need to root before flashing a rom ;)

Yes, you'll be fine.
[One (M7) General] Switcherd:
if you unlock bootloader via htcdev there isn't much of a risk.

once you've flashed custom recovery, you're pretty save, because whenever you "break" your phone, you can always go into recovery and flash a backup.
[One (M7) General] exocetdj:
just have a good old read of the thread and get a feel for yourself mate :) you will be fine if you take it easy and don't rush:D

Everybody says 2.24.401.8 or something like that, does that also mean its working on 2.24.161.1?
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
It will work on "all" 4.2 version "stock" software. But you must be 100% stock just bootloader unlocked. Also custom recovery and rooted shouldn't effect it but it's up to you.

[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
you are on H3G eh? Long as you're 4.2 software you'll be able to S-OFF. H3G branded is basically HTC with new boot animation lol
[One (M7) General] tris85:
What is the best address to check if S-Off for 1.54 has already been released? Need a "F5"-Page, too ;)
[One (M7) General] pokosik:
But with s-off i will be able to lock bootloader (for warranty) and without status "relocked" or no?
[One (M7) General] exocetdj:
it will be announced here and a thread created in htc one original android development forum
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
With S-OFF the options are basically limitless. Though as it seems you have little knowledge of the possibilities as well as the risks I would advise you to do a LOT of research before doing anything, including S-OFFing your phone. People who don't read or learn and jump in are the ones who end up with nice, expensive paperweights.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
I doubt it'll be today so if my advice would be to not hold your breath just yet :)
[One (M7) General] exocetdj:
i reckon so also. just telling the other guy where it would appear lol ;)
[One (M7) General] sopaj96:
Idk, I have Three as carrier but I don't have any boot animation, just the normal htc one :/

Anyhows I am on 4.2.2 and hboot 1.54,will I be fine?

When ans where will the s-off be released?
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
I know, no worries, was a bit of a random move to quote your post when it wasn't really relevant lol.... But I'm a little worried people are already expecting rumrunner to be here yesterday lol.... It'll be here soon but everyone needs to remember that releasing the S-OFF exploit isn't beaups or fuses main priority in life :)
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
Sorry for going more OT but there's something I wanna ask. Would it be worth it converting to the GPE line? :p
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
You'll be fine

When, I don't know.... How high is a wave?

Where, I would assume Origional Android Development Thread....
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:

Patience is a beautiful thing and it will be truly amazing when it arrives. Patience got me through waiting for jb update on hox, patience will get Me through waiting for s off :D

Beaups will release when ready

[One (M7) General] poondog:
Sorry if this is early or OT but it seems you guys know a bit more than the public?

Does it need bootloader unlock? It seems rumrunner for VZW One doesn't need dev unlock. My understanding was that the tool granted s off and unlocked the bootloader like revone did

Thanks :)
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Well the version that beaups used on my device (as a tester) I needed bootloader unlocked. It didn't give root etc but I was rooted with custom recovery. However the only requirement is unlocked bootloader and stock. You don't need root or custom recovery. But as I said it was a test version for my phone so he might well add the other bits in later on... Right now all you need to know is you need 100% stock 4.2 software :)
[One (M7) General] poondog:
okay cheers for the response, I am on 4.2.2 stock now after damn HTC service center.. 1.54 hboot

Was just curious
[One (M7) General] fareed_xtreme:
Well, I hope There would be a way to get back to stock 4.2.2 coz I have installed a custom ROM that is based on 4.3. I did find a Zip archive of the 2.2.401.8 firmware floating around but I doubt if it is odexed. For an HTC noob like me, getting links to the right files would mean getting ketchup for my fries. So guide us if you please.

(I would like to keep everything ready before the tool is released. That way I won't have to panic much. LoL)
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
I'm not going to update my Pre-S-OFF guide with RumRunner Preperation just yet as beaups asked me to hold off. I assume this is to ensure once it is released that I get the guide correct and a load of people aren't sat there thinking they're ready only to find out I got something wrong. However if you're looking to return to stock then check out the htc1guru website.... I used the 2.24.401.1 back to stock ROM from there then took the OTA to 2.24.401.8 before I ran the exploit. I shall more then likely be linking to these files when my guide is released..... Either that of people need to find a stock nandroid backup for their carrier (also on htc1guru site)... You just need to get as stock as you can. Odexed or Deodexed shouldn't matter as far as I know too.
[One (M7) General] fareed_xtreme:
Well this post sure does help. I already know about the HTC1Guru site and also have the firmware handy always just in case. However I just realized it is odexed and well, Thanks... I previously owned an Xperia, so the concept of Odex, S-Off etc are new to me. I have done quite some research in order to not portray as a total noob but can't help it :P It seems to live in all of us and surfaces at times :P

Anyways I am excited to get the Tampered and Relocked flags removed from the face of my 1 week old HTC One... :P

Cheers...

[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Bit OT here but I want to know the benefits of using an enghboot.... anyone know? And is the latest one the 1,39 one that's been around forever? hmm?
[One (M7) General] theq86:
An ENGineering HBOOT usually includes much more hboot fastboot commands.

Also ENG hboot always bypasses any signature or version checks.

(on HTC Wildfire S it will even let you flash other phone's ruus if you want)

eng hboots also have some diagnostic tools.

Also ENG hboot will let you easily switch S-ON and S-OFF by writesecureflag (yes, writesecureflag even if you are s-on)

This information is from my own experience with HTC Wildfire S, an older HTC device.

But much will also apply for newer eng hboots.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
OK this is good to know. Wonder if it's the same with the One though as I'm sure even eng hboots and what they can do will differ from device to device.... I'm also a little concerned that the one that is available atm is a little out of date.... But then that might not matter too much.
[One (M7) General] Stephen:
Another quick question about s-off. I currently have android 4.3 so I can go back to stock (assume it has to be odxed not de-odxed rom) Do I need stock recovery as well or can I use custom recovery?

If I do need stock recovery, how do I find which version to download for my device?
[One (M7) General] drakexpl:
1001 time since monday the same question. Its getting really boring.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
You can use either odexed or deodexed.... I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter. It's more to do with the partitions p1 through to p13 rather than system etc.. though system is important of course and needs to be stock as possible.... Recovery doesn't matter, it can be stock or custom, and as far as I'm aware at the moment the same goes for root, either with or without, doesn't matter.

To my knowledge at the moment the only pre-requisites are that you're 100% stock rom and firmware and bootloader unlocked. (when I say stock i mean a stock rom version not custom, obviously root etc means it's not 100%... I hope I'm making sense lol)

Please don't quote me on any of this yet of course. I will update my guide properly when Rumrunner is released with a full, accurate list of Prep Steps.
[One (M7) General] exocetdj:

[One (M7) General] horsetastic:

[One (M7) General] Stephen:
Thats brilliant thanks for the help! Dont want to brick my device since I bought it outright of amazon! Dont have the money to replace it if I do :)
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
Or, "What to do now when S-OFF, read here!"

Like, people can now fully convert to the GPE variant should they feel like it. :)

The other option would be to have this thread closed and create a new dedicated thread if you need. If you do decide to close the thread, PM me or use the report button and we can sort it out for you!
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Yes that could be painful.... No worries, always glad to help out.

Haha, maybe... Though there's a lot of guides about that around already. Think this seems to be the place people are coming with General S-OFF issues and such so I think it seems right to keep it that way maybe?
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
OK sounds like a possible idea though there's a few decent snippets of info in here that might still be useful to some people. ATM I think a title change should do. But I'll let you know for sure :)
