Hey guys, it looks like the HTC Rezound is close to getting S-Off by Evil. If you didn't know, the Rezound has had a locked bootloader all this time just like us. Can we look to how they got root to help with our own efforts. The method of getting S-Off between these two phones can't be that different, can it?

EDIT: Apparently links to his site are prohibited. But just google "s-off think tank" to get to Evil's site.
They look close resembling. Worth a shot and try.

I'm pretty sure the internals are very very alike too. The only difference I've read is the screen size. They both came out around the same time, so I'd think they'd be locked in a very similar fashion.

If they are very close then you can take their way and use to the Vivid bootloader

I hope so... That seems to be a pretty good option right now. I posted this same thing in the "think tank" thread in the dev section, so hopefully a skilled dev can take it into consideration.
Just got a tweet back from the Evil man himself and he said "we can try"

So would we use his exact method? Or would we have to tweak a few little things? I know for many Samsung phones, you can use the universal SuperOneClick root. Would it work kind of like that?
Probably tweak it a bit

Yeah, that's probably what we'll need to do. Hopefully, he unlocks it soon.

He already decoded the tokens. Just now need to decode what the .bin files changes.

Apparently he is very very close. The link said days, if not hours away. Would he be the one to tweak it for us or would one of us have to? I'm not even sure if we could post our version on here though, XDA is pretty ant-anything that involves him. Maybe he could post our version on his site.

Probably one of us. Or we can ask for help from him.

For the record, evil is not wanting it released here without his permission as well. You can link his twitter, but you can't link his site, due to him charging for a root exploit for the shift.

Oh, I didn't know that. Now I understand why though. Thanks for the insight, we'll try to refrain from linking his site.

Changed the title, looks good to me now . The general section usually gets a little more action than the Q and A section. My intention was for any possible devs to help us out with this. My apologies for trying to help us all find root lol.
Now we play the waiting game

Look, I don't like the guy and I think his attitude is terrible and he deserved the ban he got. But can we refrain from saying stuff that isn't true? It does nothing for guiding people to an eventual unlocked rezound (or vivid in this case). Open is supposed to be was android is about... not squelching possible advancements based off a personal problem.
C'mon now you're a moderator. Please conduct yourself accordingly. You could have left it at, "You can link his twitter, but you can't link his site."

As I appreciate your enthusiasm for moderating me. The statement was made intentionally. As I have had this thread topic in multiple forums and the dev in question prompts flaming from discussion as to why we can't link his site. Most people on here either love or hate the guy, I am cool with him. My statement is made because that's the reasoning behind not linking his site. I can post it when I did or we could wait until it was asked, I chose the pre emptive approach to avoid someone literally saying something negative about the dev and xda. If you have an issue with my statement please address a senior mod or admin.
I'm not a douche bag here, I treat you all with respect and do what I can to help. Thanks.

I want to give Google+ another go - who do you follow that makes it worth visiting in the absence of any of my friends being on there?
Even though I love the way Google + works, none of my friends are there. Having said that I follow, Google, XDA, Shen Ye, IGN, and some other unknown people which Google thinks that they are interesting
Follow your devs, Android news pages and check the what's hot section. Google+ is full of sane people and there are almost no idiots.

Can someone please explain the difference between the "following" circle and any other circle? Is it meant so I can add people that I don't know?

Relatively. It's still the internet, though.

I just signed up a few nights ago, but i haven't done anything with it yet. I'm not even motivated. I'm not a big fan of social networks. So signing up was as far as I got, but most people I would consider following are already on XDA, and redundancy is something I'm trying to do away with in my life.
So, we'll see.

Sorry maybe my post wasn't clear, I only have one for myself, but others have duplicate orders.
I assume many of them may try cancelling the second order with Google, but if they post here first maybe some other XDA members can work out a deal. I wouldn't recommend paying anyone until they have the Nexus 4 in their hands, but I guess some trustworthy XDA'ers might want the money upfront if they can't afford to have Google charge them twice.
I understand that you are trying to help fellow XDA members but please continue this in the Marketplace section
Edit: Forgive me, I wasn't aware that promoting another website is not allowed on XDA. Moderators please delete this thread. Thanks

I do not think this is the first time someone is promoting a website. But this IS the first time someone is promoting MY website. It's not a mod that if there are similar threads i should rather go there. If there is a special thread for promotion of websites, be a good member and point me to one.
Thanks.

We'd be glad to but we are students and cannot presently buy new devices. Device specific support is present only in our forums. We concentrate more on Android and other tech stuff in general. Give our site a try, you should find it helpful.
Thanks.

Hey guys I really didn't know which forum to put this in but since I like XDA the most, I'll help out the members of this forums! I found a link to where you can get the early beta access code for Killzone Mercenary and I'm not asking for anything in return. THIS ISN'T SPAM EITHER. Just go to Amazon's Facebook link ( https://m.facebook.com/AmazonVideoGames?id=137830960260&_rdr) and click on the beta giveaway. They're giving away 5,000 so get yours! You just have to like the page. Spread the word around to everyone else and please only use it if you have a PS Vita and want to play the beta. Thanks
