[Q] a NOOB Question about the bootloader~~~~~~~~~

(im new to this forum so i cant post screenshots in my thread)

Unlocking bootloaders and S-Off are different. Unlocking the bootloader just gives you some access to the boot partition, whereas S-Off means you have access to ALL partitions. Unlocking the bootloader is the first step.
With it unlocked, it will say UNLOCKED, and if you lock it back, it will say RE-LOCKED. With proper S-Off, you can downgrade the HBOOT so it will say LOCKED for warranty purposes. S-Off is not yet available for this phone

THANKS for your direction pointing!
your reply solved most of mysteries about this subject in my head.now i had a general understanding of what these "terms" mean, just too many of them and causes me a headache...
ok, 1st step, i am doing this!:good::laugh:

Just be careful, check your phone for AL defects before unlocking your bootloader. Warranty is void when you do, unless you can prove whatever defect you send the phone in for is not a result of unlocking, and even then...

You will get the update but not be able to install it if you run a rooted stock rom. You won't be able to flash it unless you unroot and put the stock recovery on. This can be done with a ruu

Read Mikes topic in Android development, I'd recommend reading about it before you touch any of this. Wait for the 4.2.2 update to see if it solves your problem, it should be out soon. If not then I'd say go and root.

How do I flash completely back to stock?

Although I enjoy most of what the HTC First has to offer, I think I would like to return it. So, I was wondering if anyone could instruct me on how to flash back to stock and if there was a way, remove the "Tampered" message in the bootloader?

No. I've tried Moonshine S-Off 4 times and I can't get it to work. I followed the directions so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong.

Is there any way you could help me understand why Moonshine isn't working for me? I'm on 1.08, unlocked bootloader, rooted, and I have CWM (not sure if the custom recovery matters). I plug it in with the OEM Cable and USB Debugging on as instructed. However, when I run Moonshine, it goes as far as Test 3 and then it starts running through several rows of dots.
Edit: Scratch that. I figured out that all I needed to do was turn off my Firewall. So, now that I have S-Off, how do I go about flashing it back to the Stock ROM/Recovery?

As a followup to this, does anyone have a copy of the stock recovery? It looks like the OTA updates don't work with CWM.

Since you have s-off I don't know why you want a stock ROM/recovery. Either the v1.08 or v1.04 zips will install with CWM (not TRWP last I tried). http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Myst

Thanks. I ended up having to use the full RUU, but it did work.

about kernel
Hey guys im new to the forum, i got this phone from ebay, its just what i need, btw i like dev so maybe thats why i picked a htc, well the thing is i installed jmz's kernel amazing stuff but i wanted to go back to stock kernel to try differents roms, im s-off with ub and using cwm, i tried to compile the kernel source (i use ubuntu 13.04) with no luck at all, it looks like its about the toolchains, but well is there a kernel that i can just install it with cwm as a zip?
pd: sorry bout my english im from Chile :highfive:

Need root

Hey guys so I just got my first and as it turns out the thread to get the root files is closed. I pmed the op but nothing. I was wondering if you guys know where I can get them or somebody can send them to me it would be a big help.! Thanks.!

Choose "All Other Supported Models". You need an account to begin.

I have success. So far, I'm loving this phone.

Need help asap please!

I decided to randomly check my phone and noticed although I am "Tampered" & "Unlocked", my phone now says S-On. It use to say S-Off. So my question is, what steps do i take to regain S-Off? My phone runs great with my custom rom. I just dont want to run into any future problems if and when i decide to flash something else. Thank you in advance for any help given.

Downgrading your security version will brick your device, so I wouldent suggest it.
However, you can use AOSP 4.1.2 with it.

Then just don't flash the security component. Just do System and I think boot? I'd have to check mine, but I went from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 and back to 4.4.2 again. It can be done if you are careful

If you update everything to 4.2.2, unlock, then flash your modem, kernel and system to 4.1.2 you might have success.

The XT907 is surprisingly capable for its age.
Hoping that Verizon launches an LTE variant of the Moto G. It's a worthy successor to the RAZR M.

was this thread really necessary? the page u linked to links to a thread on xda in the razr m general section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783912

Unlocked it the first chance I got but for some reason the custom recovery won't work. However, if you guys got it working on your phones, mind if you can toss me the rope, so I can fix it.
