I know there's a ton of things we can do with s-off like different ruu's and supercid but what else?
I'm an HTC noob and there are others like me, so for us, tell us what we can do and how to do it
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Lots. Major stuff:
-change CID
-remove red text on splash screen
-custom splash screens
-downgrade firmware
How do you change the red text? That's a big annoyance to me
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Also a question from a noob. What benefit is there for being able to do those sorts of things since we can already flash the same roms onto multiple versions of hardware (except for sprint)?

normal users don't know what are the differences but S-OFF will give the devs a lot more space to develop and play on.
and most important, we can **** HTC warranty

If your looking to remove Tampered then you need to read the thread a bit more as you can re-run the process but with a command
that has -t on the end...

They're talking about the red "This is for developmental purposes only... etc etc etc" on the white HTC splash screen when you first boot the phone.
Im on ATT HTC One, Once i'm on super CID, can i flash any RUU to my liking?
Hint - I plan to flash Dev edition RUU on it.

Hi,
I am in no way a dev, but this seems to be the best place to post this...
I have never done the wire trick or used Juopunutbaer software.
However, I recently noticed that my boot loader/hboot screen displays S-Off. What does this mean?
More importantly, I am wondering if it might have to do with WCX recovery, in which case, S-Off got a whole lot easier...
I am posting this semi-question because I think the Devs can use this information to good ends.
Cheers,
Please don;t ban me,

There have been a few of these phones in the wild with S-Off, it probably came like that and you didn't notice before now.
How can I screen cap HBOOT screen?
And the weird thing is, I don't believe it has S-OFF. I tried to flash a rom, and it gets stuck in boot animation until I fasboot flash boot.img...

/facepalm
List of ROMs you installed while "trying out different ROMs". Nine to ten odds you accidentally grabbed something out of the international forums.
Either way, you will likely need to RUU to stock.
More information please. Are you rooted? Do you have a custom recovery? Which is it? Have you tried to access your recovery? If you can get into recovery, you can flash a new ROM, if you have one in memory. If not, you can sideload one. And as the guy above posted, what ROMs have you tried to flash so far? You cannot flash any ROM that does not specifically say m7spr in the title. Ours is a different device, regardless of how they are the same hardware.

Which to me is essentially the same as saying "a case is not necessary to your phone until you smash your phone." Bad flashes do happen, I'll admit that, but they're rarer than they used to be. Flashing the wrong ROM has basically always been a cause for problems, and people need to take more care not to do it to begin with.

Wow, talk about hyperbolic exaggeration. I'm well aware that people are being idiots and flashing GSM ROMs, but if you don't know what you're doing you're just as likely to screw up getting S-OFF or fail to do an RUU. The point is that no amount of precautionary measures are going to save someone from carelessness.

I was wondering since I have an unlocked bootloader,s-off & Hboot 1.44. Can I flash an RUU from let's say (the US developers edition) & what would I need to do!?!? Change CID to either Super cid or the correct cid for the RUU I want to flash & the MID as well or is it not a good idea!?!? Again, sorry for sounding like a noob I feel like i should know this!!!

The software update didn't fix anything, as reported by many users on xda.. It is a hardware fault, and you need to get your phone/camera replaced. Are you familiar with s-off? If yes then go s-off and
1. Flash a stock nandroid backup
2. Flash a stock recovery
3. Remove the tampered tag
4. Lock bootloader
You can also use htc1guru's guru reset packages

I know that xda is the best place to go for info But I'd rather send him to a single site with a complete guide rather than sending him all over the place for a small guide to each and every step of the process. And the website is the only one with the biggest collection of One RUUs and OTAs and a new method to get back to stock on s-on phones. And it's guide is pretty good. And it is maintained by an XDA member
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4139782
So I guess that's justification enough?

Well, it is at least odd as the site you are referring to has no support by other members so it is only for those familiar with the material! Hence the OP came straight back to ask!
BTW, on the first and second page of the HTC One Development Section I was able to find every aspect regarding unlocking, rooting, flashing ROMs, and going back to stock. It took like 60 seconds!
The site might be nice but lacks the traffic you find here...

I have been using this forum for years and just now am posting for the first time.
I have a HTC ONE M7 originally from ATT that I used rum runner about a year ago to flash android HD which worked on the TMobile network about a year. Last month my phone went into bootloop and I could not flash a new rom or put any data on the internal storage at all. Long story short I used mkfs.ext4 to remount the data and no I can flash roms with no problem.
The issue I am having is that any rom(cyanogenmod,Viper,Android HD by Mike 1986) I flash just bootloops and wont load EXCEPT PAC-MAN pac_m7-lp-mr1-official-20150611.zip plus gapps. This load and run like a normal rom except the dialer doesn’t work, no sound, no video. It’s basically useless as far as doing anything other than playing a games and sending text messages. One more thing cyanogenmod will load but keeps resetting setup and if I push really fast I can get past the set up but will reset before i can really do anything.
I’m pretty much stumped at this point and any help is appreciated. Also my phone is S-On and using TWRP. Thanks advance.

it's about the unsecured bootloader. *Htc *won't allow the phone to install unsecured... IE: non htc signed firmware, *if the bootloader is secured.So, *if you are installing a modified htc firmware, *it's okay..

Right, you can't install an unsigned firmware on a s-on (secured) bootloader but a ROM is not a firmware. A rom is only flashing on the /system /data and /radio partitions which can easily be flashed with whatever you want as long as you have an unlocked bootloader, there is no htc signature needed to flash these partitions (and the recovery partition). Anyway, the signature verification is disabled when you unlock the bootloader (hence why you need to relock the bootloader if flashing a firmware or RUU on a S-ON phone)
The firmware contain the hboot, adsp, secondary bootloaders, drivers, etc... The official firmware is signed with HTC key and can be flashed on a S-ON phone + locked or re-locked bootloader. An unofficial/modded firmware (firmware is not a rom) can only be flashed on a S-OFF phone.
So in short, you don't need S-OFF to flash a rom, a recovery or a radio. These partitions are not secured.
*if the bootloader is secured.So, *if you are installing a modified htc firmware
*it's okay.. But when you go to install aosp, *htc doesn't recognize that as legitimite firmware. Quoted from a dev that makes both sense and gpe/aosp roms. Go argue with him.

I'll be more than happy to talk with this dev. You have probably misinterpreted what he said.

No...
Btw not trying to be rude with you and I hope you understand the difference between firmware/roms S-OFF/S-ON now. If not clear I'll be happy to answer your questions.
Now back to the OP
@insanitey1 can you post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (don't post your imei/sn). Also need to know what recovery (name + version) you are using.
Roms based on CM must be flashed using at least twrp 2.7.1.1. All Sense based roms must be flashed with least twrp 2.6.3.3. Also , all newer Sense roms (lollipop versions) need one of the latest(7.xx.xxx.x) firmware version( or version-main if you prefer) installed on your phone You can see your version-main when booted in the bootloader menu or from the "fastboot getvar all" output.
