This is good news. Would really like to use Forever with S-On availability!

I hope soon is within the next few hours
I want to get my S-OFF while having the ability to get my S-ON as well
Pun Intended..

Team Unrevoked is way too awesome lol

Noob question. Sorry
I'm patiently waiting for this. But I have to ask. How will we switch from s-off to s-on? Is the switching on the fly? Or is there gonna be a file for off and a file for on? Other than warranty issues, why would I go back to s-on? I'm still rooted, stock rom and radio. I'm dying to try out new roms and upgrade the radio, but I've had blown speaker issues in the past. I'm on my third phone.

do it on the fly?? thats going a little far lol. Are you going to turn it back on every time you get done doing something that requires off?

Not even going to guess how it works, but you would definitely S-ON if you had a problem with your phone and needed to use your warranty, so when this comes out you can go as far down the rabbit hole as you want, and then you can put it all back to like you never did anything at all

I know, it sounds stupid right? But I just don't know a lot about the whole s-off/on thing.

It looks like it is one file for on, one for off.... Unrevoked guys are awesome... keep it up!!

Great news, thanks for the heads-up. I've been waiting to make sure s-off was reversible.

Thanks Unrevoked! They just keep on giving.

This is great news. Now everyone who was worried about not being able to revert, can!

[Q] Noobie who stupidly upgraded stock Atrix to 2.3.4/4.5.91

Hello all,
I am a noobie with a Motorola Atrix 4G MB860 AT&T USA Android 2.3.4 / 4.5.91 never before rooted/unlocked/[insert other adjective here] which, as you can guess by looking at the version numbers, I stupidly upgraded before realizing, "Oh hey, rooting this device might be a good idea."
Question is simple: Can I still root this device (and if so, under what conditions?), or do I have to wait?
It's been tough sifting through these forums, since most people already have rooted their device at some point or another and people who have never done so are, ahem, not very clear about their questions.
I haven’t tried particularly hard, but I have looked at SuperOneClick 2.1.1 (hung on "waiting for device"), moto-fastboot32 (tells me "unlock" is not supported, unsurprisingly), and I just downloaded the ATT-2.3.4_Pudding_preroot.rar although I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do with it.
Cheers,
Edward

Are you expecting a new root method every week? preinstall it's the best+ newest way to do it.

Nope. I had to use the method mentioned earlier in thread.

Didn't AndroidCentral have an article up on rooting with a locked bootloader a few days ago?

Run the script from this thread. Works great..

The only thing that bugs me more than newbs who can't be bothered to search are newbs who can't search, are told the answer and then assume the answer is wrong and they know more than the people trying to help them. Way to join the forum genius.
For the record, there are literally 50+ threads asking this very question since the OTA hit. I even put the answer in my signature once someone helped me out with it.

Unrooting

Guys, I need some help.
I need to return my EVO Shift to Sprint and need to unroot. I did a search for "unroot" in this forum but couldn't find any clear instructions.
I have Cyanogenmod 7.1 installed (the official one).
Would really appreciate some help. Thanks

Search for the RUU. Run it. You'll go to unrooted stock. I have one on my old SD card if I find the time I'll load it up
Shifted from Outer Space

Or you can flash a sense based rom and take the OTA. That should work too

Flash the PG06IMG.zip file from the shift rookit below:
http://www.goo-inside.me/roms/VICODAN/shift-rootkit.rar
Copy the file to the SD card power off the phone, hold vol+down plus the power button and accept the update. You will lose all data including data on the sd card and will be unrooted on Froyo 2.2

Seems like just running RUU 2.2 is the easiest. I searched for it and got a link to multiupload which doesn't work.
Anyone know another source?

No problem there is a link and instructions there, just flash the PG06IMG.zip. Same thing as RUU.

If you ruu back to 2.2 take the o.t.a's to get caught up to 2.3.4. I returned a shift on 2.2 and sprint gave me some seriously suspicious looks...

Well... seeing how most android users (90% plus don't root) will blindly accept any and all ota updates, the tech said it was very odd for a user to still be on froyo... He said I put off 3 ota updates, and he was curious as to why... I shrugged my shoulders and said " I dunno"...

Also going to 3rd party stores makes life easier as well. I took my phone rooted last week and the tech told me to go unroot my phone and bring it back because his DM was there. LOL

Yeah someone I know was having touchscreen issues, with the phone. Told them, your insured, only been a few months since you got it. Take it back in and let them look at it. But first let me Unroot it. She was in a hurry, and took it to Sprint Rooted. Tech knows me, so he called me up. Was not a good situation . If the Manager had been there they would've flagged her account.

My phones not under warrenty anymore. I go to third party stores and I don't care if they know it's rooted or not. As a matter of fact I tell them it's rooted. I've been told by people that sprint doesn't care if you root your phone or not as long as it's not under warrenty. I've also been told by a sprint employee that you can root your phone. There's a law that most people don't know about that protects developers from carriers attacking them with legal issues. Fear I have not.

Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

If you care about S-OFF don't take this OTA (or any OTA) until finding out if this patches known S-OFF exploits.
It might not break S-OFF. It might not break anything.
But until you *know* what it does (which is something you learn by waiting a few hours and then reading reports from people who have actually taken the OTA) you should really resist the urge.

Oh, I success OTA update with S-OFF + LOCKED bootloader + stock recovery + rooted, after update I use Voodoo OTA ROOTKEEPER to resrore root, excellent.

Sent from my HTC_PN071 using xda app-developers app

I only cared about s-off to convert my att model to the US dev version... Which I did (yay). Therefore I decided to be a guinea pig on this one... I went ahead with the update and it doesn't appear to change anything... Hboot is still 1.44.0000 it didn't change my s-off status. That's not to say that they didn't still patch the s-off exploits used to initially get s-off, it just means that if your already s-off it won't change it back to s-on. At least it didn't on my phone.

Got the update earlier tonight on my Dev Edition as well and just checked to see if this update fixes the bug where the phone's lockscreen misbehaves if you have the Accessibility Service enabled for an app (like the Pebble Smartwatch app or Lightflow) but it doesn't. Damn it! Wish they'd fix this bug.

Exactly! Same to me, i install this ota on my phone with locked bootloader+S-OFF, l was success with HBOOT still 1.44.0000, s-off and locked bootloader.

I think it's failing because the CID needs to be BS_US001 which the OTA is checking. Try changing it and see what happens.

How did you do it? My was unlocked but it updated to July's security patch and it locked. How can I unlock it again? I am in Mexico and really need to update it.

Curious here too.

Search ebay for the unlock that says does not void warranty. Permanent unlock. Just serch sprint galaxy note 8 carrier unlock. And you will find the one. And i updated to july security patch and am still unlocked. It is permanent.

Still working flawless. On android 9.0 still unocked. All i do is pop in which sim card i want to use.dont have to change anything. It restarts and even puts the boot animation and carrier apps of which sim card i have in. On to rhe phone. And automattically sets the correct apn

Yup.

Check out my speeds. I get like 45 50 mbps down on sprint and 120-150 on tmobile crazy

alright. so i want to say i went this route as well. i have 3 months left on my sprint contract.that being said, i have the files he used during the unlocking process. the problem is there is another thing he did to actually unlock it. he used something called flexihub while it was in the combination firmware to actually do something on his machine that i couldnt see. this is something he did on the modem level, but i confirmed with him that it doesnt matter if i flash another firmware using odin, my sim will still be unlocked. i have tried this with verizon sim and it works. again, my contract is not up with sprint yet, which means my device shouldnt be unlocked, but this somehow works. if anyone else wants this, here is the ebay seller link that i got mine done within an hour. keep in mind that you have to back up your device, because what he does is flash firmware. also he will need access to your computer to work remotely, but he never strayed from what he was doing. for 7 bucks, this is a steal.
