S-OFF out now? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apparently people at mobiletechvideos.com have managed to get s-off on the one, Can anyone confirm that this story is legitimate?
And if so how long do you reckon will be before a free method is available to xda users?
here's the link to the story:

Awesome, we should get root soon!
Here's the kicker, sources ain't worth a Damn unless the bootloader is unlocked, and otherwise you'll just be able to do emulation only... I'm trying the htc bootloader unlocker one last time

Hopefully this sparks something. This forum is looking like a ghost town . I suppose there isn't much to talk about without root, but I wonder how many people that would've contributed to the Vivid have already moved on.

The only things I plan to use permaroot for is permanently killing the bloatware (including CIQ), AdFree, Nandroid backup, using an international Raider stock ROM and SetCPU underclocking for battery life.
Hmm, come to think about it, that's actually a reasonably long list.
Blah, HTCdev, Y U NO WORK? Maybe the removal of the message could be heralding that something is coming...

In AT&T's letter to Al Franken they mentioned CIQ was disabled on the Vivid and skyrocket because of performance issues when activated, even though it's dormant, and I still want it out. Having the source allows us to tinker with the rom ahead of time so we can build roms before bootloader unlock takes place
You figure most roms are tested via emulation before they are made flashable, these forums will be picking up real shortly, Therefore a bootloader unlock is not far away especially since they released source on the vivid.
I am currently "experimenting" with source. I hope to release a rom after the bootloader unlock and a stable method of permanent root has surfaced on AT&T Vivid Hardware.

AT&T has no say so in GPL....releasing source code does NOT guarantee anything. they HAVE to release source code as mandated in GPL.

The way it seems to be portrayed on that other dev site, GSLeon is making some pretty good progress; his last post was a few days ago saying that results are coming "in a few days".
Let's hope he's not trolling.

Unlock help!

So I got an Atrix HD from at&t and unlocked it non problem through a paid service. I gave it to my brother and got another one for myself. However after repeated services and inquiries this one always comes back as not found. Any ideas or help is much appreciated!

Unlock?

Is there a way to unlock my cappy that isn't going to cost me? I don't have a computer and I tried vibrant unlock and it didn't work. I dropped my note 2 and the screen is FUBAR. So I was going to use my cappy until I get the 175 together to submit a claim on the phone insurance with T-Mobile. I have a good sim to use just can't find my unlock code.

If you read the "download" section in the linked OP again it might clear it up for you.......The nv data thing is normal. Just do what it says.....backup efs (then it can read nv) then unlock twice. Once for partial unlock twice to fully unlock.
Once it is unlocked and your thinking, wow this was actually really easy, consider a donation to the author for making it so.....even if it isn't until after that note2 is paid for

If you cannot access it from the Play Store would you like me to upload the apk for you to just download and install that way? You shouldn't have to pay to unlock your device, at least with all the options on the captivate. Another user requested the same check his thread in the General section, m1batt1 also posted another, longer but still effective, way to unlock if the app doesn't work.

So it worked. I am now using my cappy in T-Mobile. Thanks for that. My note 2 uses a micro sim and the cappy takes a regular sim. I used my old straight talk that's no good anymore because I ported my number for it over to T-Mobile and cut out a guide for the micro sim. Is there a better way or is that about it?

Nope, this is a common misconception, and one the mobile phone companies (unsurprisingly) aren't keen to dispel. The confusion arises because unlocking and unblocking are often mixed up, yet mean different things.
Unlocking is totally legal. It just means making the phone work with any Sim card.
Unblocking is illegal. This is the practice of making a phone work again after it's been blocked by the networks, usually as a result of its being reported lost or stolen. Unsurprisingly, It is thoroughly illegal and should not be attempted.
If you are in a contract and got the phone from them at a discount with it then maybe....But then why would you be unlocking it.

hmm people still sell these "illegal"? codes, and what if you bought your phone used off ebay for example. There goes any resale value and in turn less interest in a contract phone.
If your concerned about it, you should lock your phone, what else can I say.:good:
Unnecessary. I also found out that there are at least 3 bills in congress to address that specifically. They also cannot tell when it was done. Nor do they much care.

MY HTC ONE from sprint Got 4.3 UPDATE

Hey guyssssssss I live in Puerto Rico and my 4.3 update just got to me SEP/30
I used the standard process for unloocking bootloader /TMWP Recovery/ SuperSU/ and installed costom ROM. And everything is still working. If anyone else got the update please tell me.
Update:
A bit about my phone. I bought it from a best buy clerk that won it in a pre release of the HTC one ( promotional propaganda to push the phone as they came into market. CWM touch recovery don't work on my phone always crashes.
Here here not smoking nothing. 5 hours of semi bricked device and I am back. No joke I can't get back to stock. RUU's dont work so I cant replicate what I did in a video. The update came to my phone Sep30. Tried to update but since I had a costume recovery kept falling to update ( even though the phone was forcing me to update everytime) decided to use the original RUU and update all the way throu. At 4 updates later I finally had it. All the bloatware from HTC wanted to update and so did sprint. What I first ran to check was the VVM because I know is not working on 4.3 and in fact had an update. Extracted the .apk and .odex and are on other post. And whent ahead and unlocked bootloader wish did normaly. Next went to install recovery and so it did. Then installed super user. All good. Final step change ROM so I did. When came the time to do it all again I couldnt. When I relocked phone it erased side loaded ROM and RUU don't work. Hit error as is tries to identify version. Hope HTC releases the update. If anyone has any way of getting RUU to work please page me. I would love to replicate the update for you guys
A ~250MB update is going to be the 1.31.651.2 OTA. If it is anything different than 4.1.2 then please post screen shot of About Phone -> Software Information screen. Appreciate it.

I already posted the new Sprint VVM in hopes it will fix the problems people are having with the 4.3 roms. I dont know how to compile it so i added the .apk and the .odex if something else is missing please tell me.

I hope for your sake that you are just misunderstanding something because the mods have said that the next person to post a thread about a fake 4.3 update is going to get banned. The 4.3 update is not just 250 mb as has been said and is just the 1.31 update which is still 4.1.2.

Hey, they aren't hating. They just don't like being teased. This site sometimes has the worst trolls. I read your history. You seem reputable. It just seems odd that you have this update.
