Htc one getting s-off
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
why do you need s-off? an unlocked HTC One with s-on still behaves like a nexus device. You dont need s-off unless you are modding your own radio images - which no one does.
There is this company which sells it:

IMO this video proves nothing.

This is not really achieving s-off, not through an exploit but via the official way htc can do it with a clean s58 diag file, no body who has it want to share it, htc forbids it and I think there might be sanctions if you do copy the file (these files might even be watermarked to trace leaks...)

so you can debrand and flash newer/older hboots or radio, sometimes android updates require them, on the one i couldn't get jb because i needed a hboot update but none was available for my cid
I wanted the s-off so I can modify my CID.....
It's not real... (Gerçek değil cidden deneyen arkadaşlarım var ama sonuç alamadılar )...
Some friends tried it but not success...
Oh come on.. Do they really want us to believe, when they remove the phone away from the camare for an instant?

Me too. I want an unbranded rom that gets the updates on time, rather than waiting for Telstra BS all the time. :good:
S-OFF - It's a real, but for money! Look at the photo of my HTC One ... After s-off will be superCID - CID11111111
I also own and S-OFF unit, reviewer units are S-OFF out of box
here is a picture of my bootloader
No video unit was soffed using diag file not review unit, hamdir last I heard you were desperate to buy retail HTC one ,now you have a review unit ??

i had two to choose from, one for me and one for my uncle
but decided to keep this one, the only difference with retail end of March units is the C2_1 panel vs C2_2, and a hairline gap at the bottom but very sold fit
no biggie
i kept the S-OFF it's more free and special :laugh: the other unit was branded from Orange UK
I do agree however, S-OFF is no big deal unless you have branded or obscure unit and you want to change CID, personally i consider an S-ON CID_01 as the second best after super CID

HTC is implementing security on the bootloader on all its newer phones, and older phones (while updating the firmware).
the HBOOT of htc is becoming more and more secure day by day, so that in the near future it wont be able for a htc phone to get rooted. if this continues, it will have a great impact on the htc market. its gonna suck. it will also have an impact on the custom rom builders. no more development of custom roms.
lets hope that the hackers will make their work best to get the phones rooted.
why does the manufacturer fail to support rooting. it is like, first they let us purchase an icecream, and then they are taking back the cream over the top, and leaving us with nothing.
wildfire had been the first victim. till now no one can say confidentially that a 2.2 wildfire will be rooted even in the future. wildfire with 2.1 has got many easy rooting procedures, but once updated to 2.2 not even a single rooting process has evolved in 4months of time.
legend seemed to be a victim. but its developers managed to root it (even after froyo update). they havent root official froyo. instead they downgraded frm official froyo to official eclair and then rooted eclair. however, then managed to update to froyo without loosing root. its given in legend forums. may be this process is gonna help someone who is working on rooting wildfire.
aria had been another victim. htc aria got updated to official froyo on 25th feb 2011, and like wildfire it is still waiting for root access.
and the about to release s series htc android devices like wildfire s, desire s, incredible s are all falling under the victim category.
here the link by unrevoked gives u devices categorised by their ability to get rooted.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/root_friendly
somewhat better news from unrevoked is that wildfire 2.2 is in temporary unrootable stage, which means it can be rooted in future (same with aria).
so suggesting u to get a root friendly device, if u have an idea of purchasing a new device.
Thats really bad news. And i have the first problem with my new firmware
Rooting often gets peeple to buy the phone due to development and htc is killing this group of people but im sure there not bothered as people will still buy it so they wouldnt loose much.

yes i agree with that. i have purchased htc wildfire in november 2010 without having any prior knowledge on rooting. but once purchased, i rooted my phone in november itself using unrevoked. i enjoyed the freedom of custom roms for a month. but at that time there was no huge development in custom roms.
and without any knowledge (that updating looses the ability to get rooted), i have updated to the official froyo. now struck at the froyo. cannot root and cannot even goback to eclair. 4months of waiting without any result. im regretting myself soo badly for making the update. i see there had been a nice development in the custom roms from december. cyanogenmod 7 distributed gingerbread to wildfire. even honeyfire experimental roms are going on. but cant use them on my unrooted phone.
i agree that people dont have a prior knowledge of root when they purchase phone. but once after purchasing, they will definately know about rooting, and if they feel they had made mistake they will regret.
if unrevoked had given this list before, and if i have seen this before, then i wouldnt have purchased wildfire definately.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/root_friendly
let us hope to minimise this. let every newbie know about rooting. let them not make mistakes in choosing their phones. and this thread is all meant for that.
HTC morons -- let's think of strategy that will mean fewer people will want our devices -- then go ahead and implement it; short sighted corporate nazi stinking thinking.
[DELETED]
So we should only have devices which the company allow us to handle free. So WE decide what to do with the devices. Noone else. This is a clear selling point from the company.

It very probably is - if you've still got your paperwork that came with your phone, you'll see that HTC include a TWO year warranty, not one year! I'm in the UK too so I'm certain your warranty will be the same. And of course you can't have had your phone for longer than two years, yet.
I just realised this the other day when I found the phone's package when tidying, and as my phone's GPS hardware has stopped working, I am going to get it repaired under warranty. I asked T-Mobile (my network) today if they would honour the two-year warranty, and they said yes, and that they would arrange the repair (I thought I might have to go direct to HTC to claim the warranty after the first year).
+1 to that. Definitely 2 year warranty in the uk. Here's the number. 01753218960 I've sent numerous handsets to them with no paperwork or receipts and they always do the repair. Call them up. They're service is very good. DON'T send it through your service provider.

For real? I had no idea. That would save me making two trips to the T-Mobile shop (I'm TMO too).
I'm slightly concerned about the change of IMEI number if my mainboard is replaced. Has this been an issue when you've arranged your repairs directly? Because if it does change, T-Mo would need to have the correct IMEI number, wouldn't they?
So just phone them up and tell them or email them the paperwork that comes with the repaired phone.

However, we cannot confirm if the device will have S-Off, as we do not have any detailed information about the device yet. Please keep an eye on HTC.com for updates and announcements about this device. You can also check back with us periodically to see if we have any additional information for you. We are just an email away for more support. In the meantime, I hope you have a great day, Balint!

You also get unbranded firmware and update quicker.
It is not designed for developing roms, it is designed for developing programs. Rooting and installing custom roms invalidates the warranty on any HTC one, including the dev edition.

It is not required to flash custom roms. It is required to change certain items in the phone such as the country code. It is turned on by default until someone figures out how to hack the phone.

Most people don't need S-Off, it allows you to brick your device, and more importantly to relock it so that HTC don't know you've put custom ROMs on it for warranty purposes.
On the One X it would have been useful to flash updated firmware so that JB ROMs could be installed on carrier phones before the carriers bothered to get round to validating the update, but that's a fairly rare scenario.
It also allows you to flash different radios, but again, it's pretty rare that's required.
So yeah, other than those rare scenarios and AT&T phones who prevent the phone from being bootloader unlocked via htcdev.com, it's not needed if you just want to flash custom ROMs or lie to HTC.
I don't think flashing radios is a rare scenario... I've done it a dozen times on my One XL.
I want s-off to see if we can flash a T-Mobile radio on dev edition to enable all T-Mobile bands.

You guys know if they are credible or not?
I have a HTC DNA, and there are several good reports of MobileTechVideos doing s-off on the DNA in the DNA forums.
(The latest updates from HTC/Verizon removed the rooting/s-off exploits, so this currently is the only way to get s-off on a DNA that has been updated).
Here's one report:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40714371&postcount=26
I saw some posts in a few other threads about them so I checked out their web site. It seems like they've been around for a while and more or less specialize in unbricking phones. Yesterday their Facebook page said they'd achieved S-OFF and applied SuperCID and then an hour or so later they said they'd managed it "without the wire". That was almost 24 hours ago, now. I'm waiting for more news.
yea they're credible. they fixed my bricked s2 been following them for 2 years
They are legit. Sent a couple of my phones to them over the years for hardware related repairs and they always fixed the issue. They were prompt, friendly, and well organized. Would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

On many of the recent HTC phones, one has to take an insulated wire and short two contacts together at a specific interval in order to S-OFF. Those phones had removable battery covers, so getting at the electronic contacts was fairly simple. Hence the name "wire trick"
They've charged for S-Off in the past. There's nothing solid to think that they won't keep the details to themselves and make you pay for it this time as well.
im guessing its not going to be released
I'd be fine with paying for it.

I suppose if one had to return the phone to HTC you could relock and flash an RRU, to get rid of the TAMPERED and RELOCKED indicators. That is the advantage of S-Off, so far as I'm concerned.
What is the great advantage in your opinion? Oh yeah, it can flash a bootup animation with S-off.

Makes modding easier. I'm not quite familiar with the One yet (get it Friday), but on the One X (on some bootloaders), you couldn't flash kernels in recovery. Two things allowed you to do this: S-off and downgrading hboot. Downgrading was a pain. You also need S-off for changing the splash screen to a custom one.
Hi Guys just saw this on youtube, i guy was able to s-off his ONE using a "JAVA CARD". Dont know how to contact that person , but i guess we can finally have s-off on 1.54 hboot
Please check the below link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVSGqXn4wX0
UPDATE: Well this is a hardware service that some sites provide , you would have to pay them and send your phone for them to s-off, so no real reason for us to cheer up , just have to keep praying for a new exploit
UPDATE 2: as notified by people , i changed the subject line of the thread to reflect the actual process of S-Off

well maybe the method is not very reliable right now thats why the video is like that. but still its a MAJOR progress and such a relief for guys like me who are stuck with s-on. you can clearly see at the end of the vid that the phone is indeed s-off
It's not going to be an easy task, not like a revone or moonshie. You'll need a programmed java card to do it. I only know of what I just read but it seems it's like a smart card of some kind. There is probably a program on the card that runs to get s-off. So not only would you need the pre programmed card, but you would need everything required to hook the card up to the phone. It looks like he is using some kinda of special usb cable. Maybe on the other end of that the card is hooked up to.

This looks a lot like the old HOX S-Off thread already. I hope we can find a way that doesn't require a java card. thankfully I S-OFF'd my phone before updating to 1.54
They can always S-OFF like the Rezound and Amaze had to do, we had to use a paper clip to somehow short out the security, something like that haha.
wow , never knew it was that tricky. well anyways still hopeful that someone can find a way someday , for us to s-off our phones without paying upto $100.
would it be possible to get smething like the misctool from below to work for our phones?

Revone doesn't work with the 1.54 HBOOT.

Please share your method. Many are interested. Excluding me, I'm already S-OFF.
Thank you!
I'm guessing he S-OFF'ed before flashing 1.54 because revone doesn't work on 1.54 yet.
I do hope for htcs sake this is correct, else there will be many who will not buy the phone if they are stuck with 1.54 s-on.
S-on...... Why? This is unique to HTC after all.

I have s-off on 1.54 also, as do many others, BUT s-off was done on 1.44 then it stays s-off when the hboot is updated to 1.54. People can't be s-on on 1.54 and get s-off.
At least it shows by whatever means 1.54 is still exploitable and it's now just a case of waiting for the dev's to find one.

The Java card is used to set S-OFF, it doesn't exploit anything as the official method of attaining S-OFF and is used by HTC service centers to make changes to the system

And yet people bought this phone not knowing if they would get s off or not. If HTC doesn't make any changes to what they allow in S on, most people don't really need s off anyway.
