Can we post here all the updates about S-OFF ?

S-Off sounds rather dangerous. Doesn't that mean that it's possible to (accidentally) flash unsigned radios permanently bricking one's device?

It can be dangerous if people don't read or do research before flashing anything.
Hah, yeah. It's not like you go and flash a radio some random guy put together

Yes but it becomes extremely important to match md5 hashes before you attempt to flash radios and hboots. One wrong move and it's Perma brick no fixing it.

Technically only noobs prone to cause damage to their device want S-OFF because they don't know there is no need for S-OFF with the HTC One,

Just because there's no need it can be useful to flash an older RUU to go back to stock and then use OTAs to get up to date

Making the hboot flag read "eat sh!+" instead of "unlocked" is enough reason for me.
My ONLY need for S-off is to flash my AT&T One to the Google edition ONE TIME and let Google take care of my OS updates directly.

Gunny, have you tried out any of the AOSP ROMs? I'm sure you have, but if that's what you're looking for you can already have it. This community is almost always faster at getting updates out than Google, even on Nexus devices. I have a feeling that this phone will be something of a red-headed step child to the Nexus family because of the special hardware/software considerations(i.e. the Camera[reported to take abysmal pictures on AOSP ROMs, so must be something soft/hardware combination HTC is pulling out], Beats audio chip, etc.).

Are you exchanging with HTC or with your carrier? If with your carrier, it's highly unlikely they will check that as most reps don't know anything about bootloaders or what they even mean. Unless you're very, very unlucky...
If exchanging through HTC, you're gonna roll the dice. If they determine that it's a hardware failure in no way related to anything you've done to the phone, then they will replace free of charge. If they don't make that determination, they'll still replace but they will charge you for the new parts(camera + new locked motherboard). At least, that's been their M.O in my experience going back to at least the Nexus One.
Thanks for an insightful reply. I bought it from tmobile over the phone..and plan to take it for a store exchange on June 5

As another tip, make sure to turn on Fast Boot under Settings > Power. This will make it more "difficult" for the rep to check since you can't boot into the bootloader or into recovery while it's checkboxed. Also, it's the default option. Just make sure the obvious things are gone: stock ROM, no SU, etc.

Uh huh.. I'm no noob and I want S-Off for LOCKED so that I can claim hardware failures like the power button, NFC not working etc etc. Where I'm from, an unlocked bootloader is an instant reject no matter what the damage is.

Are updates dependent on being logged onto AT&T or are they delivered via internet?
I am on a mvno and the phone works fine. But I can't update. IS there an alternate area for downloading updates or does AT&T only update through their system?

But my question remains. I want to find out if I CAN update being on another network besides at&t. When updates are available. For instance, what does a person get who IS on at&t get when they tell it to check for updates. I get "server error".
Will these updates (assuming there will be some) be downloadable from the internet or does one have to be registered with at&t?
To put it to you simply, if you are using an unlocked AT&T device on another carrier. I don't think you will be able to get any AT&T pushed updates for your device. I might be wrong, but I don't think you'd be able to get it running on a carrier other than AT&T with one of their devices.

Well, it works perfectly as a phone and for data and it is locked and not rooted. Since the mvno leases from at&t it works fine.
But I suspect I will never be able to get updates so I am considering selling it unless I can find a way around this. Even though it can now be rooted and it can be unlocked, if the updates are only pushed to registered at&t users and can never be downloaded or sent as regular files, then I am screwed.
ANY other thoughts or ideas, anyone?

I know there are no guarantees in life, but in your best estimate, do you think they will be locked in any way (check to see if it is on AT&T network or some other silly stuff) and that I should be able to use them? Is there a post of the current factory rom anywhere?
I ask all this because I like the Vivid, but I only have 3 days to return it if I am going to.

99.99% sure we will have an RUU available when there is an update. this means it is not dependent on the network updates, but you can install the update from your computer.
100% sure you will see roms on here of the updates....

If your rooted, regardless of carrier, you don't need to worry about updates. The updates will be provided by the devs. Whether it be an RUU or incorporated into their ROM update.

I will probably root soon, but I am waiting for a bit of maturity on the customs roms.
Yeah, that'll take some time. The ROMs that ya'll do have, are currently being worked through for bugs and the like. Seeing as how some were already there for the Raider as it was the first to be unlocked. With the Vivid now unlocked, those ROMs that were for the Raider are being updated to allow them to be flashed on the Vivid. In the next few months we should see some more ROMs get produced as more devs come to the Vivid.

I have a question about S-Off, I guess the Moonshine S-Off specifically. I want to know whether if I install it successfully, can it possibly hinder FUTURE flashes? Like will it possibly be incompatible with newer ROMs or something, or is it more like, once installed, that's it, you're good forever, compatibility isn't an issue? I've never done S-Off so it's a little confusing for me.
Thanks,
Roy

It does actually clear up a few things for me... Looks like it doesn't have much to do with the ROMs because like he said, you can have S-Off on any ROM rooted or not, makes no difference... I think I have that right anyway? I'm just wondering if the S-Off method is something that is going to get updated or if that's it, it's a final hack? Any ideas?
Thanks for answering, btw. Also, stop watching me. I see your van. Stop it.

I think you're right about s-off on any rom & I don't see s-off hack being updated at all. Take a look at this guy's Web site about doing s-off and rooting. He makes it so easy. http://qbking77.com/
Edit: FYI, I'm not planning on rooting or even going s-off for now. My One is almost a month old and I'm still being impressed by this phone.
And I'm a ROM flashing junkie. I had 5 different ROM nandroid backed up on my sd card of my HTC Inspire.

The guy in the video uses revone but the thread sort of points towards more problems so it's a bit worrisome. I wonder why there are two S-Offs anyway.

Say again? The S-Off method works for all devices as it is not HBOOT dependant. Moonshine is as it replaces the HBOOT, while revone just cracks open your current HBOOT and messes with it to get S-Off. Neither will restrict you to any custom ROMs.

Not sure if you completely understand what rooting means.
You are simply enabling root access, which allows you to change system files. You won't lose anything because of that.

Not unless you flash custom roms and start messing with root files.
Just going S-OFF and gaining root privileges will not change your phone in any way.
The benefits are that you can clear out some of the preloaded non-sense, (for me its stuff like dropbox, polaris etc.).
EDIT: beyond that you can flash custom roms and stuff, but for the first little bit, I usually just continue with the stock rom until I decide what I like and dont like.
I can tell you right now, one feature I miss is holding down my volume rocker to switch songs. Without my pebble to change songs right now in the car, I would be flashing roms to get one that allows that feature alone...
Ok guys, the purple tint camera issue is killing me. As always, last I went weeks ago... They blamed root. Is this plan here possible so I won't have to unroot and remove s-off.
1. Flash the hex edited hboot that says "locked" and "s-on"
2. Flash one of the stock roms from either viper or indirect, but remove superuser!
3. Flash a stock recovery
Do you think it'll work?

I thought that had been Sprint's policy for a long time. But I took my rooted LG in the spring for a problem with the speaker and the first tech 'flagged' my phone in Sprint's system. I even took it back home and set it back to stock. But after it was flagged I was forced to upgrade or replace it though Asurion because nobody would touch it. So you're saying I wasted a perfectly good upgrade?!? WTH?!

Yeah. Any tech that flags your device as DBR for being rooted is breaking policy and majorly ****ing people over. If root is suspected to be the cause of the problem, the procedure is to flash back to stock and wipe the device then try to replicate the issue. If the issue persists and there's no physical damage, it's a hardware defect and needs to be replaced under TEP/warranty.

My bad. I got busy today and totally forgot to snatch the M&P. Let me see if I can get it really quick before my shift ends just in case something like this comes up in the future.
Also relevant to note here is that there's a good chance your newphone will have the camera issue because, from what I've seen, there's circumstances in which ever One does it. It seems to be related to how hot the phone is. Some phones are worse than others so YMMV.

Can you post a pic of this purple tint? I went in to get mine fixed and I wanna see if it's the same thing. Also I went in with a stock rom and s-off and they didn't give two ****s lol

This is the simple demonstration I have them.
I opened my camera app... And just placed the phone camera down imitating low light/night conditions. Screen turned completely pink every time

Hey guys,
I was looking at buying this phone for myself and saw a faulty one that randomly restarts. Could this be a easy fix for me or could it possible be hardware related?
Appreciate all help

Could be many things... hard to say without any information.
Imagine if you call a car mechanics and you tell him ''I want to buy a car with an engine that randomly stops, could this be easy to fix or not?''
Then, he would probably ask you:
What you (or last owner) did with the car (phone) before it broke?
What car (phone variant) is it exactly? (fastboot getvar all)
What engine model inside that car (what rom)?
Any modification on the car (phone)? Root, unlocked booltoader, s-off, kernel?
And why would you want to buy a defective car (phone)?

So what your saying is that it's a gamble or a shot in the dark... I'll ask the seller a few of the questions and see what the reply is. If it's software, could I fix it myself or would I need to send it to HTC (wouldn't buy the phone then).
Thanks for the help though :good:

Yes this is a shot in the dark. Most software issue can be solved. There are some exceptions. Better to stay away from that device. If it would be an easy fix, that guy would probably have fixed it himself instead of selling it.

I did get a message back, just start to happen randomly in the morning, never been rooted, had a ROM flashed, s-off or tampered with...
They have said that they doesn't have the knowledge to install "new software" to the phone. I don't think they do know a great deal then?
What would be a good offer (In pounds)? I am looking for a new phone anyway but if it isn't a fixer upper then I'll re-sell it.

Sounds like your easy to con,
I could put you in touch with quite a few people, they have loads of stuff they want to get rid off..
Seriously, we hear this in XDA forums all the time..
" I bought it new, never touched it and somehow its suddenly found itself rooted. Help I've got to get it back to stock for warranty ". Tell him you will try it out for a few hours.
So before you get it. Install HTC sync, then uninstall it. The drivers will remain. Download adb and fastboot. Put them all in a folder on your desktop. In the mean time read all the guides on HTC but mostly Q&As. By the time you get it, you may be able to sort it out all by yourself.

It is around 7 months old though (forgot to include that) Also, I still haven't bought it yet as I am still thinking whether to or not as it could indeed be a con or unfixable....
