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.

You never had S-off.
Boot loader unlock and S-off are two different things.

Possibly. I don't think so though. Best to back up first anyway.

Hey guys just received brand new HTC one out of the box. Just wondering quickest method of root right now and what people are using for their recoveries. Yes I have researched but I see a lot of things out there. I'm sure one of your guys response would be quicker. If you could post links for root and a good recovery that would be appreciated. I'm on 4.2.2 thanks in advance.

I assume you have the international unlocked One, not any of the U.S. carrier branded Ones.
1) Go to htcdev.com, create an account. Choose the option to unlock the bootloader. You need the fastboot drivers. Easy to find
2) Once you're bootloader unlocked, flash TWRP recovery from this link:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
3) Install SuperSU once u have TWRP(the app will be installed automatically). Run the app
4) You're rooted. Very naize
P.S. I would advise u to S-OFF your phone after rooting it, coz certain ROMs aint compatible with S-ON, ur default. So, before installing the 4.4.2 OTA, flash ARHD 31.6, run the rumrunner tool

Verizon wireless u.s.a and I'm on 4.2.2 and I waited to update to kitkat because I didn't know if there was an exploit for root and stuff like that. Can my bootloader still be unlocked? Keep in mind I'm 100% stock on 4.2.2 I just kind of need to be steered in the right direction on what to do next seeing as though there is an overwhelming amount of mods out for this phone.

Yeah, u need to use rumrunner tool, not the HTC dev unlock.
http://rumrunner.us/downloads-2/
Download for Verizon, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND PRE-REQUISITES CAREFULLY
And, btw, this is not the thread for the Verizon One. Hence, there are no ROMs which support the Verizon variant. Flashing a ROM from the development thread for HTC One WILL BRICK UR PHONE. Make sure u flash ROMs/MODs for the Verizon One from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one
FYI, if u want the most mods/roms, u should have bought the unlocked One

#SRSRoot: samsung SAMSUNG-SM-G900A (Build: KOT49H.G900AUCU1ANCE) #Android 4.4.2 Now Supported for #Root at http://www.SRSRoot.com
Has anyone tested this yet?
Should put this in the AT&T section. But If true that would be great news.

I would test.. but im not willing to brick my S5 just yet.. if someone wants to test! ill do it after. i do know you can download the official ATT software and flash with odin.. so there is away to recover....
As far as I know srsroot does not work.

Its funny they specifically put the model number and said it was supported. I would bet money that it does not work at all and they are just a shady group that should not be trusted.
I would wait for a video link to see if it works before anyone tries
I don't see the model number listed there. I wonder if someone just got overzealous with adding S5 variant model numbers and corrected it.
*edit* I see it now, I had to do a search. Hmmm... I don't know how this snuck under the radar if legit.

Loki is an instance of being able to use a custom recovery w/o unlocked BL. Coming from an i337, you begin to assume boot loader unlock isn't likely.

did SRSRoot install the SuperSU if so check your settings "Application Manager" in settings, if SuperSU is installed as a user app it will be listed in the "Downloaded" section if it is installed as a system app it will be in the"All" section.
or run a file explorer like esfile explorer that will allow you to view the /system/app folder (you cant write to it but you can still read from it) check and see if Supuser.apk exists in /system/app, if it does that means that at some point the srsroot app is gaining R/W access to system.

Hi guys,
I have a xperia z1 running 4.4.2 14.3.A.757 and i was wondering if i could use Vroot running 4.4.2 to root my z1 or do i have to downgrade to 4.2.2 the open Vroot and start the root process.
also i was wondering if i could open root with many android and root with 4.4.2 rather than 4.2.2.
Have been trying to follow Shem's video on youtube, the root with may android binary method when i open the runme.bat file it says out of date?
Or is there a way when i can root using 4.4.2 without
-unlocking the bootloader
-downgrading
-loosing all user data.
Im a noob to all the root stuff haha!
thanks brandon

PS, Don't worry about posting your QUESTION in the wrong section. I provided an ANSWER anyway, and asked the mods to move it to the QUESTION and ANSWER section on your behalf.
To be honest I haven't a clue! Haha, I followed shems video on YouTube to root with binary method and when it got to flashable zip on the sd card twrp didn't seem to recognise the zip so I have to start the phone up with no os.. Flashed stock rom with flashtool. Tried to root the other day with the root many android and opened the install.bat file and it said it can't run supersu because my phone was out of date?

There is absolutely no need to root the phone using bin4ry, root many android, kingo or any other method. Shems videos are overkill (IMHO) and have unnecessary steps

yea that's exactly what I'm trying to do . Is to return it to stock. I backed up stock Rom with twrp before I installed a different Rom but then when I restore back to stock Rom it worked fine a couple times then all of a sudden nuthing happens when I restore to stock Rom it's a blank screen.
