Hi all,
I got my HTC One back from Vodafone repair centre with a note stating, that due to the time and expense of fixing the problem (raised glass screen) they have sent me another phone. To my delight when I checked the hboot and rom version, I saw it was hboot 1.44 and ROM 4.1.1........... S-OFF here I come............. ...
I nipped out for a couple of hours and when I came back without thinking applied the bloody updates from OTA which updated the hboot to 1.54 and JB 4.2.2 :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
What a Idiot I am...........................:silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:

I ran my One totally unrooted, locked and stock until revone came along for about 3 months and still running a pretty close to stock rom. I think the One is one of the few devices which is great just running stock, so enjoy it while you wait for another s-off exploit...

No, not really. Only if you wanted to go back to stock for warranty purposes.

it's S-off and it means the phone is truly unlocked. right now we can only do things from recovery, with S-off we can do anything we want and do it with the phone booted up.

Just because it means there's the potential that we'll have to use your technique to revert the HBOOT back to .77 in case the new Unrevoked Forever method isn't compatible with .79.
No.
With nand unlocked, we can flash radios forwards and backwards, as well as kernels, roms, etc.
If you were wanting to remove the hacked SPL though, you would have to go through the typical reversion steps listed in other threads.
Hey-
HTCDev just released a bootloader unlock tool expansion to the wildfire. Hopefully this will help some with rooting etc., and can only be a good thing.
Only good things can come from this!
Re
HTC Wildfire in supported list it is not Buzz
strongly not recommended download and flash bootloader.
Please get your information correct. Both the HTC Wildfire and HTC Wildfire S are listed.
I confirm that HTC Buzz is in list but i don't understand about the RUU before the first step...
Where i can find a RUU for the wildfire?
My Wildfire hasn't branded and they say:
BEFORE beginning the Unlock Bootloader process your product requires that you update the ROM to the version listed in the table below first, then download the RUU next to it to enable the unlocking capability.

I'm confused... what link in the table i must grab?
the ruu list is at the bottom of the page but my problem is im on virgin mobile and there not listed in he carriers ruu not even t mobile not uk carriers are there either
---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------
mmm found the problem there all us carriers in there so ont think they will work on my uk virgin wildfire
help..!!
I'm from INDIA dont know which carrier my htc wildfire has...so dont know which carrier to select to upgrade the RUU....which is th first step to unlock plzzz help..!!!
Yeah I have this problem too, Vodafone isn't on the list... what do I do?
htc wildfire
has anyone try to root the phone by follow the htcdev tools yet ?
I'm wondering if it can also unlock HBOOT 1.01.0002? Anyone has tried? I really want to root my brothers phone. If only it's as easy unlocking like the Desire S.
If you don't want to risk anything with going the HTC way, check my guide, all the files are provided. The guide also tells people how to root with the new HBOOT.

Would you mind uploading it somewhere so some more experienced users could take a look at it, from what I've read on the HTC dev site I think I'd rather use the revolutionary method still.

I unlocked a Wildfire using these instruction. In order to root I think I have to flash a prerooted ROM with adb now right? How do I do that?

This is the Kernel Sources... Nothing to see here people, move on..
You shocked me. I was thinking if htc really changes itself to be more user and dev-friendly. All of those are obsolete kernel sources( except the GE ones), and htc, it seems, will never release RUUs of regions other than Developer Edition.
There is one now...check the AT&T section. I hope the normal ones for non branded phones will follow soon!

Not. They are not available yet for 4.22 / hboot 1.54. Keep waiting for RUUs, or keep waiting for new s off solution.

RUUs are never posted by HTC. They are always leaked in some way or form.
Htcdev only provides kernel source and other software as required by the GPL. It does NOT provide RUUs.

Wheather it's true or not. I installed the update for AT&T and am now on h-boot 1.55. I'm a noob at android and didn't know how hard it it is to get s-off considering how easy I got it the first time. So i Locked my bootloader and got S-On to install the update. Now i'm stuck on custom rom and can't get s-off. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Just got the M9 today.
Unlocked, rooted, Installed TWRP, S-Off.
Then I was trying to update to the latest 1.32.40.17 firmware, but I forgot to superCID (11111111).
My cid was HTC__059.
So, the phone stalled forever...had no choice but Vol Up + Power button. Then the phone was tuck at a weird screen with few options of reboot the phone, reboot to bootloader... But no matter what option to choose, the phone just did not reboot to that.
Vol up + Power...Vol down + Power....I dont remember what I pressed cuz I had to press those combo many times, but luckily got back to the download mode. & things went well.
So......SuperCID right after S-Off people.
What a close call :laugh:
This happened to me, but it happened for no reason. Screen said press this for reboot then just went back to the same screen. Had to hard reboot to fix

Good advice. Wish there were more threads like this, cos I am not new to flashing but new to htc..
i am unlocked and rooted, but still S-On. Contemplating to go S-off.
So, after S-off then SuperCid, does that mean we can flash "any" rom from any custom rom/any region? but if we are 1.32 we cannot flash 1.40 roms right? we must go back to stock to take the update? i think that is where a few (who are new to htc like me) are confused.
I believe that with S-on, u can flash custom rom that has matching base/firmware.
Put your phone in download mode, the OS tells you your firmware.
Look for roms that has matching base/ firmware.
You dont have to go back to stock. You can flash the latest OTA, it will update your phone to the latest firmware, then flash latest rom.
S-off & superCID let you flash any firmware, any radio, any rom from any region.
I do think $25 is worth the S-off for my case.
I flashed the latest firware, but didnt like it much because of some kernel bugs. So i went back to 1.32 for more stability.

"Chimera Tool" supported U Ultra S-OFF two days ago but i didn't try it because of the high price that i can not afford.

Definitely don't waste your money on that. Chimera gives you a "temporary s-off" for the duration you're in download mode when you run it. Once you reboot you're back to s-on.
Hopefully it's not left my phone in a completely write protected state. I'd pretty strongly recommend waiting for sunshine.
Only reason I tried it was that the guys that sold me this worthless Java card let me run it for free since their card didn't work for ultra as advertised. They neglected to mention the result wasn't permanent or I wouldn't have done it

Wow. I've seen a few of those and a few people in those places who are actually capable of flipping the S-On/Off switch with just a PC and a cable.
Root, Get a custom recovery (TWRP), flash it over fastboot and then Flash Magisk or SuperSU.
