I got tampered banner and red text when i unlocked and insrtalled custom recovery
[One (M8) General] boe323:
Ah ...I bet it was the recovery then .... didn't think that would cause a tampered banner as it never used to on my previous devices ....I stand corrected then ....I didn't check after installing recovery, I just went ahead and tried to s-off. Was philz recovery? ....Ive been looking at tutorials on youtube ...and there phones don't have a tampered banner even after installing a recovery. So strange.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Yup I got the same after installing custom recovery on m7 and also my wifes old one s so it must be that :)
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Just one quick question.

Is it against the forum rules if I provide to the other threads where people are asking for help regarding the whelp message, a link to this thread?
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
nope, think the only issue that would arise is if u are linking other people's work :)

the more the merrier:good:
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Great! Because i totally spammed the T-Mobile One M8, thread. Now its time to dig on the Verizon one :P

[MENTION=4366077]exocetdj[/MENTION] we became like the watchdogs of this thread. :P
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Lol good work mate!

and yes we are indeed, i'm watching this thread cos i'm claiming the bounty muahahahahahahaha! (joke) :silly::D:good:
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Cmon dude, it's time to release that damn exploit :P you got us waiting to much :P

However, by looking on the other M8 forums it looks like the most affected by the whelp message are Sprint, T-Mobile and International versions. AT&T and T-Mobile both look like are not affected by this issue in mass.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
hehehe :)

well lets hope we get a few more pledges in. i wish i could pledge more than 40$ but i have a wife and kids blah blah blah lol.......:D
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
Not much watchdogs over the 2 of you [emoji12]

[One (M8) General] v1rk:

I'll add another $10 to the pile.
[One (M8) General] P4THOG3N:
I'll double my pledge to $40 since it appears this bounty may be getting a bit more traction :)
[One (M8) General] PeterBarnett:

I'll give $10 (and $20 if found by the 25th).

Perhaps we can start a donation thread to get you one? I'd happily throw down some money.
[One (M8) General] oRAirwolf:

[One (M8) General] jcase:
Nah I wouldn't accept that, if I need to purchase one I will just purchase one or trade someone on here for an s-off one. I was hoping for a less than usable one, like a damaged one, or something that i could get on loan.
[One (M8) General] comstar:
I'm in for $10
[One (M8) General] oRAirwolf:
Here's one on ebay that is broken. Maybe you could check with the owner and see if he can get S-Off. $250 aint bad. Again, I'd be willing to subsidize some of the cost. I REALLY want S-Off :)

[One (M8) General] jcase:
That one is s-off-able, i can tell you that now
[One (M8) General] oRAirwolf:
Because Sprint aren't jerks?
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Sure they are jerks. Mine is a Sprint, and it cant be S-OFF.

Hi,

Please don't discuss about methods which could be construed as warranty fraud. It is illegal and as such discussion of it isn't allowed. Thanks :)

kanging buggers :crying::crying:
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
In one post it looks like the box successfully changed the IMEI, which you should be S-OFF to achieve:

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/10307835-post782.html

I dont know if the developers can spot anything on that log to determine if this is a device which cannot be S-OFF with firewater.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
very confusing, that phone must have been s off already then
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
It must have been S-OFF for sure.

The question is, did they S-OFF it with firewater or their tool.

If the S-Off was with their tool, do they use firewater for that?
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
that must have been done with a non whelp m8

I'm with beaups and jcase on this one, they must be using firewater in that box
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
yep! me too
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
so the patient wait begins! lets hope these legends can help us out!!!! :D:D

If u dont have paypal then im afraid u cant pledge... Somebody may correct me if im wrong.
[One (M8) General] jcase:
I'm 99% sure magna box is just using public/semi public exploits.
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Yes, I guess the people that buy this boxes are just people who work on Unlocking shops, so they dont have to manually search over the net for the exploits and unlocks, they just have that box as a collection of exploits.
[One (M8) General] jcase:
some boxes are legit, look at riff box and easy-jtag (both would s-off this device), but most are junk
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
As I see, the price is justified only if you have constant work with this devices... It not affordable just to S-OFF a single phone.
[One (M8) General] jcase:
JTAG boxes are not designed for "s-off", they are typically used for repair or forensic work, but since they allow you to write to the emmc, then its all fair game
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
I have seen riffbox for sale for around about the same price as that magma box lol :p

Magma Box £99.99

Riff Box £108.88

the latter could be a good investment :cool:

unless sitting tight is a better investment of course ;)
[One (M8) General] jcase:
I have a riffbox here, but it isn't practical for the average user, plus m8 isn't too friendly to take a part
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Sure, but thats just hardware I think? Then u need the software, cables. And not to mention that i have to open your device, which from what i saw on youtube it was really difficult.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
yes after looking on the website for a bit it seems there's an element of disassembly and soldering etc involved! i tore down and rebuilt my old hox but the m8 is a different kettle of fish!!! for sure a lot of experience is needed!!!!

:eek:
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Tear-down:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP0glVbQfWQ
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
would be possible with a decent youtube step by step maybe lol! not really practical for the purpose of s off though.

also risky, i messed up the pop connector on my hox for the antenna cable and had to wait a few days without signal for the spare part to arrive. was fun though!!!
[One (M8) General] thizroxx:
I'm in with 100 Bucks if it would work for my M8 ;)

[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Just wondering if we have had any joy with this?

Anyone got a busted whelp phone they can send to jcase? Don't know why but this seems important lol ;)
[One (M8) General] oRAirwolf:
Not that I have heard of, but I once again pledge an as yet undetermined amount of money towards getting him one.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
+1 if I can help with this I will. Wish I had an m8 spare lol
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
As I see it we have 2 options to get on. One nice soul donates his/hers whelp phone to jcase or we collect money and buy a new phone, give that to Exocetdj and he send his whelp phone to jcase. Feedbacks are most welcome [emoji39]

I'll throw in $20
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
[MENTION=2666750]oRAirwolf[/MENTION]

Im not discriminating, but just to be fair to the developers we should put the pledges of users with less than 20 posts and who are registdred lately only to the maximum bounty. What do you guys think?
[One (M8) General] oRAirwolf:
I would be happy to, but that would be kind of a PITA at this point. I imagine developers recognize the fact that they will probably only see 50% of the pledges, realistically.

If an exploit is found, I definitely plan on individually PM'ing every pledge to remind them to donate.
[One (M8) General] metalfan78:
You can count me in for $10. I wish I could do more. I had to get a replacement and it can't be s-offed, but I'm hopeful!
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
I certainly won't need any reminding lol!
[One (M8) General] Kabitokaii:
20 bucks

[MENTION=592577]blackice666[/MENTION] I pay my debts, and with that I'll pledge another 20.
[One (M8) General] oRAirwolf:
Awesome, man!

Just for clarification, are you pledging a total of $40?
[One (M8) General] animaleyes76:
Double me up to $40 as well, cheers. :)
[One (M8) General] Kabitokaii:
Yessir, thats $40 total. I'm a whelp victim just like the everyone else in this thread.
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Nothing personal mate. But i saw other users just registered which pledge 100$.

However sorry, it wasnt my intention to offend.

[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
yes and other things like being able to change partitions, downgrade firmware, set super cid, install Harman kardon audio, change splash screen.

S off is like great sex with a supermodel whilst htc unlock is just 5 mins with a porno mag and your right hand lol

probably sooner than anything on here lol!!!! :D:good:
[One (M8) General] samsamuel:
translation ''we hope that someone on xda will s-off it within teh month, allowing us to use their method''.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
They actually get the diag files and i have only heard good things about thier service, the fact theydon't offer these as a diy product prooves to me that they are not using magma box or other peoples work. They can even s off HOX which no one else has managed to do, as they use the diag files from HTC :)
