Hmm, my questions is same as $îMpŁÿ_¢ØmPłİÇåŤęĎ, but also... is S-OFF needed right now?...
[HTC Desire X] atis112:
From 32bit. ;)
[HTC Desire X] nightwalkerkg:
Vibrations are present only at boot and entering recovery,bootloader.

Not really, S-OFF is used to unlock all the partitions on the device. So that we can now flash boot.img using recovery. You can still use your pc to flash it without S-OFF.
[HTC Desire X] Len:
yhm, so another question... is there a way to S-ON it silently?:)
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Just wanted to know if the only thing needed to work is adb and fastboot, if yes, both work on my 64bit Arch Linux native install perfectly. To be sure I can always use a live cd...
[HTC Desire X] atis112:
Please help me before you do the S-OFF. :) Please send me your mmcblk0p3 img, before you do the S-OFF. I search that what make the vibration, and not the hboot.

Please pull it so:

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/p3.img
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/p3.img
and send it for me please :)

Are you having issues with Devhost as well at the moment? I couldn't load it up there...
[HTC Desire X] atis112:
Here is my modified hboot. I removed the red text on boots and made some changes.

To install push it on sdcard and reboot to hboot, and install it or install from pc:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip PM66IMG.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot reboot
[HTC Desire X] beaups:
rumrunner does not modify that p3 partition...
[HTC Desire X] atis112:
Yes, I already know it. :) I just checked because I saw, that you pulled mine. I didn't find anything yet, what should make the vibrations.

I have question: Before installing S-off on DX must be official ROM?

[HTC Desire X] soulasassin:
Rumrunner S-OFF

No, official rom isnt required. im running mysensedx5 rom and it worked first time for me.
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
And if I'm not wrong, it requires a custom insecure kernel/boot.img installed as it needs full ADB access.

Stock boot.img is secured kernel
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
It is preferred, but should work with stock kernel as well as long as you're rooted and have adb root access enabled.
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
Do we have a stock kernel (which is unmodded) wiith adb root access enabled ?

In default.prob of a stock boot.img written there persist.service.adb.enable=0 and ro.adb.secure=1

I just don't want to confuse users or maybe I'm confused :confused:

Anyway... maybe the boot.img in the rumrunner itself which is ro.adb.secure=0 will be used when it is needed while doing the s-off procedure.
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
I was just quoting from the official rumrunner website
[HTC Desire X] vikkolts:
One man from 4pda did S-off. It works. Some advice: if you turn on quick boot, you will not have vibrations

Отправлено с моего HTC Desire X через Tapatalk
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
But that will work only until you want to change something in ROM through recovery. Then you'll have to uncheck quick boot or reboot to recovery, and rebooting into ROM again will result into the vibrations. Just to mentiion that to not confuse others.
[HTC Desire X] $îMpŁÿ_¢ØmPłİÇåŤęĎ:
How did you write "Awesome" on the top of the bootloader screen where it is generally written "Unlocked" ?
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Just for notice: The line I meant was:

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p27");

That should work with S-OFF, but I didn't try yet...
[HTC Desire X] Mr.Jay:
So now if we brick our phones we can write ***Locked*** on bootloader and HTC will repair it?

HTC Desire X || Android 4.1.2 || mySENSEdx5 RC4.0
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
I don't know if it's that simple if you use a custom hboot. I think for that working you first need to revert to stock hboot, make sure you have S-OFF, and lock it. But not sure if it will work (nobody tried yet, I definitely won't try it after doing the S-OFF).
[HTC Desire X] $îMpŁÿ_¢ØmPłİÇåŤęĎ:
Yeah i was also having the same question in my mind as i am having some serious battery drain issues even on stock rom. And one month of warranty period is left!

Btw , i just now S-OFFed my phone , it worked successfully.:D
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
It seems I'm late with doing my S-OFF just in a few hours... :p
[HTC Desire X] $îMpŁÿ_¢ØmPłİÇåŤęĎ:
I just tested & flashed twrp directly from phone (earlier I had philz) with flashify (an Android app ) & it flashed successfully within a fraction of second successfully :):D

[MENTION=3834787]atis112[/MENTION]

As you customized hboot is for EU CID and MID: PM6610000 and mainver: 2.20.401.3, maybe it is advisable for users to change the details in android-info.txt to include his device CID and MID and maybe the mainver too (but I guess this is not important) if needed. Any comment ?
[HTC Desire X] syedhmed:
ive created one with just the red text removed no awesome thing ! itll show you unlocked !
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
So you say we should do this modification to make our device booting? Wouldn#t it be enough to just flash the hboot and everything will work as expected?
[HTC Desire X] atis112:
Yes, I used android-info.txt from my official update package but I think this won't be problem on other phones.
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
Based on my experience dealing with HTC ONE, flashing hboot will only be successful if your MID and CID is included in the android-info.txt

If the CID and MID is not there, the flashing will fail with "wrong version" error. No harm actually, just unsuccessful.

If CID is SuperCID, it will success provided the MID is included in the android-info.txt.

As for the MID, I know there are two MID PM6610000 & PM6612000 as stated in my device android-info.txt. I don't know for other CID such as HTC__038 & etc.
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Can we get the MID by running fastboot getvar in someway? I for example own a branded phone (O2 Germany, CID O2__102).
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
Yep... fastboot getvar all

see the modelid:

I can't test as I don't have a working DX :(

Vibration on boot

i apologize if this has already been asked, but is it at all likely that at some point this could be patched/updated so as not to vibrate on boot? im not expecting it any time soon as i appreciate people have other things to do, but it would be nice :)
[HTC Desire X] $îMpŁÿ_¢ØmPłİÇåŤęĎ:
Can hboots be flashed via recovery? And can I return to current stock hboot if I want to?
[HTC Desire X] themetrio:
Error during S-OFF

Anyone could say me why I get this error? I have adb and fastboot working i suppose.
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
Based on my experience on s-off-ing my HTC One, that means you need to disable your firewall and anti-virus (temporarily while running this procedure) ... that's connection problem.
[HTC Desire X] soulasassin:
i dont think thats an error, mine did that too. does it hang on that screen and go no further? mine showed the same screen for about 5 minutes, rebooted, said "pouring", rebooted again and it was done
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
No and Yes....

You need to flash it via fastboot ... steps as outline by atis112

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50190792&postcount=47
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
It can also be that you need to disable lockscreen and security options to allow the phone to boot directly to home screen and to enable usb debugging itself. That was what I needed to do in order to get S-OFF.

BTW: S-OFFed my phone successfully and flashed new kernel via recovery, works great!
[HTC Desire X] themetrio:
Nope. It blocked and nothing happened.

EDIT:

I will try on Windows and see what happens.
[HTC Desire X] soulasassin:
not sure what to suggest. to be fair i did use windows to do mine, guessing youre using ubuntu judging by the purple terminal background
[HTC Desire X] themetrio:
I'm on linux! i haven't firewall and anti-virus. tethering could create problem?
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
Don't realize that earlier :p

Only user on linux can advise ... I'm not, sorry.
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
[MENTION=5113572]Sgamez96[/MENTION], did you read and try my suggestion? ^^
[HTC Desire X] themetrio:
SOLVED!

The really problem was what you said. It couldn't unlock my phone, but in "security" all was disabled so I unlocked my phone manually every time at reboot and it works perfectly. :)
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Yep, had to do the same on mine (also using Linux...)

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

Just for notice... If you use a custom ROM with different lockscreen styles available, you can also completely remove the lockscreen so you won't need to unlock the phone at all anymore. Maybe this helps...
[HTC Desire X] CurtisMJ:
Could anyone who's successfully s-offed please post an MD5?

After loooong waiting, I S-Offed my phone :D
[HTC Desire X] realCyphox:
i'm confused, what are the real benefits for our phone with s-off?

i just found somewhere else that:

1. you can flash kernel via recovery (even recovery via an app?)

no big thing, flashing kernel/recovery via adb is easy as pie

2. you can change the partitions sizes

it doesnt affect rom-development at all?

#2 would be a great thing, would be nice to reduce the internal memory and have a bigger data-partition, wouldnt it? i, for example, dont use the internal memory at all
[HTC Desire X] themetrio:
You could uninstall easily system bloatware apps.
[HTC Desire X] realCyphox:
you mean when using stock-rom and kernel after s-offing your phone?

cause, i can do this already by using a custom-rom + custom-kernel
[HTC Desire X] themetrio:
Yes I mean stock ROM ;)
[HTC Desire X] $îMpŁÿ_¢ØmPłİÇåŤęĎ:
1. Yes u can flash kernels & recoveries with recovery (requires a flashable zip) , otherwise u can flash kernels & recoveries easily with recovery tools or flashify (both available on play store) directly from phone without even going to recovery and it doesn't require any flashable zip(just click on flash kernels or recovery & locate boot.img or recovery.img).:D

2.Yes u can change partition sizes of the phone but I don't know how.

It doesn't improve any Rom-development at all:rolleyes:
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
So S-Off is successfully implemented now.

Anyone willing to get in touch with this Dev so we also can have that "LOCKED" status when it is needed ?

See what he may need - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49268744&postcount=186

It works for HTC ONE, can't test for DX but unlikely it will work. He may need to make a new one for our device.
[HTC Desire X] $îMpŁÿ_¢ØmPłİÇåŤęĎ:
Thanks! I really needed this. I tried to contact the dev but waiting for the reply,maybe I need to wait some time.

Having a month of warranty left, i greatly need this because of exhaustive battery drain even on stock rom.

But, due to multiple vibrations,won't they understand that the device has been unlocked?
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
Just say that is part of the problem why the warranty is claimed now :p

For my HTC ONE, I did test the LOCKED procedure, then re S-ON then reflash the original firmware, everything is back to stock. To re-unlock, I can't use the Unlock_code.bin that I have before. I have to re-apply the new Unlock_code.bin to re-unlock the bootloader.

One thing I never try yet for DX is whether reflash the original firmware.zip will solve the vibration problem or not. No chance to test that earlier because there is no successful S-Off procedure.
[HTC Desire X] Will_Xda:
For Anyone saying that S-OFF isn't going to Help with the current Developer situation (Lack of developers) then they are Mistaken, as SuperCID definitely will help with our situation as Many a Dev have Just left the Desirex without even starting Deving because they were "Sim Locked" and would also be using as a regular phone, so it then became unusable for them and They would just get rid of it.

But now this has been achieved any future devs with a Sim locked DesireX will hopefully stay for a while and leave us with some goodies.

P.s. I know no ones really moaned about that subject in a while but just thought i'd point out the above.

There's only one S-Off thread in Original Development section

You need to try the S-Off procedure with an ICS ROM and ICS insecure boot.img as you have ICS hboot.

Once the S-Off procedure is successful, change the CID to SuperCID then you can either install ICS RUU later update to JB thru OTA or you also can directly flash the JB firmware to have JB hboot.

You guys misunderstand something here.

Method 1 : the hboot way

As what [MENTION=3834787]atis112[/MENTION] said is put the PM66IMG.zip on sdcard and boot to hboot (not flashing the PM66IMG.zip in recovery)

When you boot to hboot (not fastboot), you'll see this kind of screen where it search for the PM66IMG.zip and install it.

Method 2 : the fastboot way

Put the PM66IMG.zip in your fastboot folder on PC. Then follow the step as outlined by [MENTION=3834787]atis112[/MENTION]

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip PM66IMG.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot reboot
