don't think there's much development on this seeing in some parts of the world that might be illegal and you can get an unlock code for as much as 3$

U can unlock the bootloader via the htcdev.com site.
The fact you have s-off is very special as every vivid I have seen is s-on

Dude that's a nice find. It can help getting kernels to flash in recovery. I'll talk to TheCube if I was you to see what files are where or so.

Nice find!!! I'd say don't play with it until one of the devs can get the info off

*PLEASE*, join us on IRC at #htc-holiday on freenode. We will help you to get what we need off of it, and this may very well lead us to a complete root / S-Off. I am IanWizard, and also, IOMonster, or any of the other users that are listed as "voiced" can help you, or put you in contact with us. This is very incredible. We hope to see you soon.

please share what s-off means, sim unlocked?
When rooting i think mine said off as well. Don't quote me on that will check and report back.
Don't have the phone with me.

Cruising through but s-off means security off. You can write to certain partitions like the radio ect which you can't do with HTC unlock

OMG!
!!Thank you!!
...I don't care how you got it - you have S-OFF on your phone!
**begins to drool**
..I wish I was a dev. Good luck to all those who are about to work on this - all the guys like me are looking forward to playing with the spoils of your labors..lol. If only I knew linux, I'd be glad to help.
So, here's some information that I've gathered from jcase so far about your phone...
It would appear that you have Radio S-OFF, which is great news for you and you only right now.
Basically, it means that you have full access to your /system partition and almost everything else without using the HTCDev unlock tool. Any root you attempt will stick just fine.
Some background information, as I understand it to be:
HBOOT gets it's s-on or s-off status by querying the radio and asking for the "secuflag" (might be "secflag"-- just going off the top of my memory). Once HBOOT receives it's answer, it proceeds to either lock or leave unlocked certain partitions.
All this is to say that the only thing different between your phone and say, mine, is the radio config partition where "secuflag" is stored. The problem lies in the fact that on our devices, we can't access the radio config partition (as far as I know) to manually set that flag.
However, it is possible that just having a copy of your radio config partition could lead to some interesting discoveries in regards to where the flag is and what value it should be set to if we wish to try it on our phones.
Either way, it'd be great if you could stop by #htc-holiday and ping me (IOMonster) or IanWizard on IRC. What you have could potentially be a huge help to us-- or just a special bonus for you and you alone
Thanks!
I just pray this leads to a full s-off method. I don't wanna root my Vivid until s-off is achieved. Too used to flashing with s-off from my Inspire.

Woow. S-off vivid. How did you got it or make it to s-off. I have an AT&T htc jetstream and want to s-off. Is there anyone can help me to unlock the secuflag on vivid and jetstream? I hate that at&t firmware.

Maybe HTC is getting tired of us harrasing them and leaked this? Cause they ... Care about Devs ....
Who wants to be able to flash completely from your phone without fastbooting the kernel?
Looks lot closer now.

Hey guys, my HTC Incredible S today gets an ICS OTA update. I have updated it. The version has become 4.0.4.
I have never S-Off or Root my device at all. My Hboot 2.02 and locked. Now I want to root my device.
Can anyone tell me how many ways I can S-Off my device? Are there any other ways beside HTCDev Unlock?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys soon.
There is a guide in development called All in one for noobs made by me. That's as easy as your gonna get if you want s off
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Thanks for your reply. I have read through your post. However, I saw the topic is for 1.16 and 2.0. That's why I feel reluctant whether my hboot is 2.02 which is higher than the topic you posted.
So you mean I can do it by your instructions?

Well since you have upgraded your HBOOT to 2.02.0002, the HTCDEV unlock method is your only choice right now. The tacoroot exploit that is used with the downgrade script does not work with HBOOT 2.02.0002.
Can you tell me how to get s-off after unlocking by HTCdev? As I know, it just unlock the device, cut the security is still on.

With the HTCDEV option you will be able to install custom recovery and then root the current ROM by installing su-3.1.3.zip, but you will not gain S-OFF.
Technically there is a difference, but people tend to use the terms interchangably.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Anyone know how I can unlock my Three branded phone?
I know Three will unlock but charge £15/20!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
I'd like to know too, having hit the HTC Dev "sorry it aint going to happen" error message when transferring the code across to the HTC site. I've seen sites that will do this for money so I know there's a solution out there. After many years of Android and unlocking I don't particularly want to pay someone for something that should be public knowledge.
I got a code from eBay for £3 and it worked fine... Send me a pm with your email and send you link....

Think you need s-off before you can remove carrier locks.

Can't say about UK, but my HTC One on 3 Sweden was no problem unlocking bootloader from HTC Dev at beginning of last week... Just wanted to clarify in case other swedes read and give up in advance... Find it strange that the same carrier would have different policys in different countries but fairly new to the game so I'm not sure.

I unlocked my 3 UK branded HTC one via htcdev
If HTC one is not in drop down menu
Then select other models option
This worked for me
Edit
Not sure if op means unlock bootloader, which is via htcdev as above or carrier unlock, to use a non 3 SIM, which is a different process
You will be emailed an unlock token that you should save, as this can be used to unlock your phone again should you relock

International ROM
Can anyone here give me simple starter instructions to reflash my vodafone htc one with international stock rom
I dont want a custom rom just a non vodafone rom form HTC, EU or World.
It is SIM unlocked Bootloader locked.
Can this be done without rooting?
Just switched form Samsung where it was easy to switch to a different rom by flashing without rooting...is there a similar way with HTC?

Thinking of changing form an Xperia Z with a locked bootloader - would you be so kind as to confirm whether the HTC One on 3 UK has a locked down bootloader? The XZ bootloader is locked down tighter than a duck's behind.

may of shipped that way thers a few around..noticed the bootloader is locked:cyclops:
You can have locked bootloader and S-OFF at the same time. S-OFF is the more important one: if you have S-OFF it ignores whether or not the bootloader is locked. You can flash to any partition at any time for any reason.
You can pay someone to make your phone S-OFF using a hardware trick.
Or you can buy a lot of phones on eBay until you find one. About one in 10,000 are S-OFF.
Or you can wait for someone to find a software-based exploit and post it for us all to use for free.

I have noticed that s-off could be coming soon. But I've got itchy fingers and want to unlock my one
If I unlock the bootloader via HTC dev and s-off becomes available can I change the unlocked to locked again? So this doesn't affect any warranty?

Hi
greetings.
yes that is possible you can revert back to LOCKED. but after you achieve S-OFF
That's good. Had the one x before and unlocked the bootloader n never had any warranty problems but just wanted to be sure if something was to go wrong with this phone I could hide the unlocked :thumbup:
Thanks for clearing that up :thumbup:
