LOL good point :)

But I am serious here, I thought one of the big selling points was how easy the M8 was to root, and get S-Off. HTC has been extremely developer friendly with the One series, I just thought all of them were able to be root + S-Off. I guess not.

I mean I would assume maybe the CDMA Verizon + Sprint version might not get S-Off, that would be understandable because CDMA blows, and not even Nexus phones are allowed on there anymore. But other than CDMA versions, I thought the rest of the M8's could be S-Off'ed ?
[One (M8) General] billydroid:
Everyone can unlock the bootloader through HTC dev. But full s-off requires a exploit
[One (M8) General] exad:
You could also jtagg :/ it's not like it's IMPOSSIBLE to gain s-off without the exploit. it just takes skill and/or money.
[One (M8) General] dandan2980:
Just to inform you the Nexus 5 works on the Sprint network and Sprint doesn't play games like Att and Verizon when it comes to unlocking bootloaders and such. We don't need to buy a dev edition

Ok guys,

So today i got a new device. An international version now opposed to my Sprint one. U know what? whelp message again! Im so unlucky!

At last this is SIM Unlocked so i can use it...
[One (M8) General] downwiththebanksters:
Said limitation was not known, it was a lottery. Due to the folks who made the exploit not saying, or not being willing to say, which exact devices were exploitable I lived in hope. I even saw a Taiwan phone, though not my exact one, pop up.

Jtag has been mentioned several times. I always got the sense you needed to work at the guts inside the device to use it? Could anyone say if there is a jtag s-off exploit that works 100% on the various M8 hardware, and if it's safe? Any recommendations on reliable and professional jtag services? Any in Taiwan?
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
i contacted Fone Fun Shop in UK to see if they are doing s off service for m8 yet and they are waiting for diag files but they are on thier way. if nothing is found here im sending my phone there lol!!!!:good:

I found out that there is somebody on my city here in Albania that was asking for support in the forums. I sent him a message, lets hope i can meet him, and maybe pay him to S-Off my device.

Fingers crossed and don't forget to leave a feedback
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
that magma box looks very promising
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
I had a phone call with the guy, and he told me that he never unlocked any M8 but he has unlocked M7 and other devices with the same box. He will give it a try.

I will send my device this evening and i will keep you updated.

Lets hope that this Magma Box is not using firewater :P
[One (M8) General] jcase:
You bought a device that was known to be s-on at the time, no guarantee that any exploit will work for a new in box device exists, that is a known limitation. What I am saying is, "I paid $750 for this device, so I should be "allowed" to do whatever I want, shouldn't I?" isn't an excuse if it is known to be in a certain condition when purchased.

JTag is likely possible, I haven't opened mine but if someone wants to get me the pinout, and I could verify the interface is still enabled on m8, and provide a riffbox compatible dump for it.

However m8, like the m7, is difficult to take a part, and doing so is no guarantee that it will be free from damage of the process.

I'm almost positive that it is, but who knows.
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
I sent the phone there. I will get an answer on Monday. The software for the M8 needed a Win7 pc which he didnt have :P However my first thought is that the box is using firewater.
[One (M8) General] eikast:
I thought that firewater worked for all variants
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
There are a few devices which are having a different special "CID" and somehow, I think because the devs aren't having one of those phones they can't get an exploit for us...I'm also one of them who can't get s-off -.-

[One (M8) General] eikast:
That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that man.
[One (M8) General] jcase:
If it is using a software exploit, it is almost certainly using firewater.

My "professional" advice is to sit tight and not purchase dongles/boxes, I reversed many of these and found a combination of revolutionary, fuses, beaups, blisss and my exploits. Most of these tools are just scams. Riffbox is an except, so is any actual jtag device.
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
I also think that this box is using your software. I also asked the "Product Manager" in the thread of this device and he didnt reply to me (while he replied to other users questions).

However since there is some guy which sells unlocking services in my city and uses this tool i will give it a try (and i will keep everybody updated here). I need to S-OFF my device in order to sim unlock it.

I had to buy a new device which also cant be S-OFF(Yeah! Im not a lucky guy), so at least if i unlock the Sprint one, i can sell it and and decrease the loss.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
so riffbox would be a good thing to go for once they have cracked m8 on it??

What about java cards?

I saw a member (@Sonic2756) that had this on his signature:

ok, looks like this chap has purchased a java card and is running a s off service. ok if u are in usa or near but no go for me due to immense distance lol
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
First we have to find out if this works with all the HTC One M8 variants or not. After that maybe we can find somebody in the US which can help us with shipping, since I also live in Europe.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
this would defo work as he has purchased an official HTC Service card (Java card)

it comes with a certain amount of credits, i beleive he can s off 25 standard m8s and 10 dev edition ones.

I would defo buy one if they werent so damn expensive!!!!!
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
So the 30$ is just for the credit? And you have to purchase the javacard separately?

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

Nevermind,

I got it, the guy here has purchased a javacard and now is selling S-OFF services with it. Its costs $30 to S-OFF your device which you should ship to him, and he will ship it back S-OFF-ed.

$30 is what he charges for one credit and u have to send him your phone so he can perform the job

I sent some PM's to the persons selling the magma box, and I asked them if they are using firewater or not... No Reply! (And both of them are online in the forum for something like 4 hours).

I even asked on the main thread, no reply from them regarding my question, just some guy with a legit statement:
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
yes the lack of confirmation from the product support guys there leads me to beleive they are merely kanging the firewater team's work
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Yes! I will get the final answer on Monday, since the guy o found here in my city already owns the box.

However this is really unacceptable, the developers here are making everything for free, and those guys are trying to profit from it... Sad sad world!
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Indeed mate!!! sad indeed, let us know how ur contact gets on. Did he have the dreaded whelp message with firewater?
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
The phone that i sent him had the whelp message. I told him that i already tried with firewater. He understood me and he was quite confident that he could do it with magma box or one of the 10 boxes that he had on his shop. He told me that he would charge 40$ if he could do the S-OFF.

[One (M8) General] jcase:
Nothing, I am just well aware of tools like these (I have reversed the software included with many of them, and own others), I am in the middle of negotiations with a company producing them, who stole exploits from us to produce them.

Most are just repacks of public exploits, like miracle dongle or diamondongle that are using out exploits illegally with a fancy gui and box.

Others write directly to emmc, or jtag the device. Which is normally a good option, however the m7 and m8 are difficult to do this on without causing damage.

So basically, you are handing over your devices to someone who you likely don't know, and either will get nothing, or might get s-off with a good risk of physical damage (the m7 and I think m8 are both notoriously hard to open without case damage).
[One (M8) General] blackice666:

You can reinstall rom without wiping data, just use same file, may work may not depends on what the problem is.

Hello,

I am just looking for information about how to read/write (if possible) an individual or a set of NAND eraseblocks on an android device regardless the partition in which eraseblocks are located.

Usually we are using commands like linux "dd" and specifying the partition whose eraseblock we want to read. My question is whether is possible or not to read NAND eraseblocks directly, regardless partitions, as the same way we can read an individual sector on a PC hard disk, simply specifying the offset and read the corresponding eraseblock.

Thanks in advance,

and please, sorry for my english :-/

I have tryed two different dual SIM adaptors on TyTN and none of them works :cry:

I've tried Ghost Dual SIM: (no cut)

This is the old version of the famous Ghost Dual SIM, which has no menu, it is the model where you have to swich the phone off and on again.

This one doesn't feet between the phone and the battery, you have to hold the battery yourself and can't put the plastic cover.

Anyone tried with a newer version of it?

And this Dual SIM Holder: (cut)

I've also heared that you loose 3G capabilies of your SIM cards when you put them on a dual sim adaptor, you can only use 2G. Anyone knows if this is true?

Anyone having good experience with dual sim adaptors on TyTN? Which models have you tried?

I tried to use the Dual sim holder (cut)! It works for me perfectly! I suppose I can use the UMTS too, becouse the "U" is active on the tray (not the "G") and the download speed is: 284.8 kbit/s. Is it faster than the GPRS?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] pof:
Re: Dual sim holder (cut) works!!!

Yes, UMTS is a lot faster :D

Which dual sim holder is it? do you have to turn off the phone and then on again to switch sims or do you have an "special" menu on the phone to do it?

Also, are both SIMs 64K or more?

Thanks!

Re Dual Sim holder

No, I have two very old sim's (V1 card from 2001).

I don't have to turn on and of the phone to switch between the sim's. I can swich online using the dual sim menu.

I think the speed is low becouse of the sim's, not becouse of the dual sim holder. but I'm not an expert user.

If you have any other information, please write becouse i'm very intrsested in it.

Thanks,

Re: Re Dual Sim holder

I've done two tests:

1) I tried with one v1 SIM and one 32K SIM on the Dual SIM Holder (cut), but the one which has no special menu to switch the SIMs. This setup was working perfect on my old BlueAngel, but doesn't work on my TyTN, it sees as if there was no SIM card on the phone :(

2) I tried with two 64K sim on the Ghost Dual SIM (no cut), also the one without special switch menu. TyTN also sees as if there was no SIM card. :(

Probably I'll have to buy the Dual SIM Holeder (cut) with special menu and try it, but I don't have more v1 SIM cards... grr!! too bad! :?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] freelovsky:
Re: Dual SIM holder

Hi pof,

I tested my PDA with a new 3G SIM card. The max. download speed was 310 kbit/s by UMTS and 145 kbit/s by EDGE with dual SIM holder. And without the holder the results were the same. So i think the dual sim holder works perfectly in my TyTN with UMTS too. The only different in the speed was becouse the V1 is an older and slower SIM. Maybe.

Can you receive a call on either numbers?

Forgive the ignorance, can anyone tell me if you can receive a call on either your cut sim (personal) or sim (work) at any one point in time?

Or are you only available to receive 1 incoming line at any one point in time?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] pof:
Re: Can you receive a call on either numbers?

You can't recive calls in both phone numbers (unless you make a call forwarding from one to the other).

Those devices only let you switch from one SIM to another without actually having to take out the battery and switch the SIM card, but only one SIM is operaitonal at a given time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Mudstuffin:
Depends if you believe their spiel on their features:

“AUTO SWITCH” feature enables you to receive messages and phone calls on both number synchronously ( Auto switch is set in the on screen menu) timing of 0 to 99 minutes can be set for switching.

Anybody have any idea how that might actually work?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] pdazealot:
I use the AutoSwitch on other phones, not the TyTn

It will switch lines at the predefined time you specify, but you can ONLY receive messages or phone calls on the line that is currently active. Anything to the other line will go to voicemail. It sometimes doesn't switch lines though, and gets stuck in flight mode instead, and NO lines are active. I don't know if it's phone, network, or dual SIM issue, but FYI. I would like a Dual SIM where you don't have to cut the SIM either. Actually, I wish all the the phone carriers would have stuck with V1 spec SIM cards so we could clone them onto a single card. Oh well.......

When you switch the sim using the apllet provded it puts the ppc in flight mode and it should then put it automatically off flight mode and the other sim is then active. If it hangs, you may need to put it manually back off flight mode, and it works.
