S-OFF is possible

Please don't ask how, why, when or whatever else!
This is only a general question to all of you​
I'm thinking since two weeks to ask the community if there is an interest to get S-OFF on the HTC One X device.
BUT!!!!!!!
We need to buy some hardware for this - and that's the main problem.
We have found an option to S-OFF devices but to cover the cost's we need to charge 20 Euro for each device (include shipping)
Currently there is no other way to make it possible and it seems HTC will not release something for doing this.
We have done a test on a HTC 8 and HTC One X device and it's working. From this point of view I guess we can cover almost every HTC device. But this is a different story. Even my own device is still S-ON.
The Plan:
We will create a page where you can order the S-OFF option for almost EVERY HTC device. You can pay via PayPal or add the money within your shipping package.
We was trying to make a remote solution but this is not working at the moment but I hope we can release this within the future. At the moment we have no chance for some tests. Why? Because of the missing hardware
The next problem is that you need to ship the device to GERMANY. We will make it S-OFF and SuperCID it which will not revert when you flash it and ship it back on the same day.
Bevore we do the invest and starting with all the things which are required, I want to ask all of you if you are interested about this.
At the moment we are all not happy about this solution and I'm not a friend of this way. But it is a way and we hope HTC will think about S-OFF within the future.
My question to all of you:
ARE YOU INTERESTED ABOUT THIS SOLUTION?
What do you think about this?
DON'T ANSWER VIA PM! NO PM's!​

First, on which base we can believe you?
You didn't provide any evident that you or your team are able to S-OFF any HTC device. Moreover, you even mentioned that your own device is still S-ON.
My answer:
No, I am not interested in s-off when it costs me 20 euro and having to ship it to an anonymous person who said so on internet.
My max amount for a real s-offing is 5 euro and giving that s-off-ing is instantly.

Yea he's probably "Baked" lol; but in all seriousness unless someone here has S3's to just have fun drop-testing, no one will be willing to give their phone an international journey before themselves.

Sure, don't care about the fact possible or not.
It's just a question if we can cross charge the cost. This is what I want to see, 5 Euro is an example. But with this price we would need round about 800 (!) devices.
Damn!!

That's clear
But this is not the problem. When we can expect the ROI and we will buy the hardware my phone will be one of the first devices

This is the HTC way... Would be the same if I say people to XDA send ur phone. I get the javacard en s-off all the devices...
XDA wants to see a way of s-off for the public.

I know... But it makes no sence to me to buy equipment for 4000 Euro to unlock my device and trash everything after I have S-OFF.
On the second hand it makes no sence to me to unlock my device because no one is able to support unlocked devices. (F***K)
That's all a big ****!!!

Watch the bloodpressure bro
It is just a phone.... lol

Given that we cannot prove if it's true or not, and required shipping my device to an anonymous person in another nation, there's NO WAY I can risk it and 20 euro.

ARE YOU INTERESTED ABOUT THIS SOLUTION?

DON'T ANSWER VIA PM! NO PM's!​
My Answer to you: :good::good::good:YEEEESSS:good::good::good:
I have no Problem with the 20€, because there are many Tools/Mods which need S-Off and this is worth it to me.
And when a trusted Member of XDA is the Person, who will recive the Phone, I will also have no Problem with that.
Sorry for my bad English
Sincerely yours

This doesn't sound right to me. Maybe someone near Munich could catch up with the OP and see if he really can S-OFF the Device

He is currently not able to s-off anything. I think he wanted to collect the money ,so he can buy some sort of JTAG/Flashbox. Although I don't know what costs 4000 euro!
Anyway this misleading thread. I'd recommend the OP to ask any mod so they close it.

Like Xmoo said, this method is known for a long time. But without a remote solution it is no option for me. I'm not going to send my phone to Germany. Main reason: I simply need my phone. The money is not the problem, I would pay 20 euro in a heart beat for S-Off.

Don't care at the moment if it's working. This is not the question if it is working. Be sure, wenn we have it, we will release this here at XDA.
We also was thinking about this "S-OFF Drive-In" solution and be sure even this will be possible.
Come, S-OFF, enjoy & Go!
We don't have a problem to do it within this way.
Right now I want to know if someone else would pay for this. Not to become rich, just to cover the invest!

The solution!!!!
We also could open a project like "bread for the world" and try to collect the money. Maybe within 5 years we got it
We are dealing since weeks on this. But if you start the project "S-OFF for the world" I also would spend 10 or 20 Euro's for this. But this will be not a solution when I will be the only one idiot who will spend for this project.
Give me a other solution and we will do it.

i would pay for s-off too, even fly to germany \o.

Well I live I am germany, but not in Munich but in nürnberg. But I am not really willing to take that way as I have not much time in general.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

LOL
I would:
a) never pay for S-OFF as I can do all I need to do with S-ON (little extra effort but SAME result at the end of a day)
b) never send my phone to a complete stranger even in my own country
My 2 cents...

Friend and I bought stolen phones from china accidentally :( Help us

I know this is a forum for Devs, but I can't find anywhere else to ask this.
We bought two collectors edition phones and are being told they won't connect to network without changing IMEI or something, is this do-able?
Is it possible to buy a normal version of the phone (S6 Edge) and change the IMEI with the collectors version?

Well, I never had the oportunity to open one, but i think you need to heat up the back with a heat gun and then take off the glass... But after you've done that, it will be easy to put together again! And also, if you want the software that the special edition have, you can try doing a rom backup and put ot on the new one..
Again, I haven't tested any of this..

yea I hope the heat gun doesn't damage the paint though, I'll need to see if a professional can do it.
When will it be possible to flash it into cyanogen and root it?

Zenfone 2 ZE551ML help

Hello there.
I'm about to receive one of these from Gearbest, and from what I've read, it's likely that it will come with WW software but the device itself it's the CN version.
I already have bookmarked the tutorial to flash everything to WW, but my doubt is, what about LTE bands? Is it really possible to unlock all bands? How?
Is there anything anyone can recommend for this device regarding roms and mods?
Thank you in advance.

I know that the question may be a little noob-ish, or even a bit stupid (I don't know), but please, can anyone help?

its seems that nobody have this phone. Im going to buy one in aliexpress, it looks like a great phone but, without suport.

When and if you two get these phones and depending on what they are which you dont know at the minute, there is a forum for ze551ml which covers everything from bricked devices to changing LCDs

No need to be ironic man, I have my fair share of XDA experience, I just never came across a region-specific device that inspite having the same hardware worldwide, doesn't have all network frequencies available on every baseband... What I asked basically was, is it really possible to have all LTE bands available on a CN device, and secondly, based on users experience here, is there any rom, kernel or mod that you can recommend...

Mine is from Gearbest, it's not a fake, but the problem is... They only sell the CN version of the Zenfone, and what they do to sell it to Euro users is flash the WW version of the firmware but they don't convert the device fully. Anyway, for 123 euros is still not a bad deal, considering its the 4gb ram version.
Thanks for your help

Question Anyone here bought the G40?

Greetings,
I'm interested in buying this phone mostly because it seems to have a good camera on paper for my <20k INR budget and the UI is a personal favourite of mine, just below the OxygenOS.
I would love to hear your experience with the camera, if it supports the GCam mod properly, and does the chunky design of the phone really make you reconsider buying it?
I would also love to know if you've tried anything to make the hdr10 work outside the YouTube app.
Thank you

I intend to get one if its easy to root the phone. Is it possible?

Yeah, from what I gathered online, all moto phones have a very similar and simple way to root them.
I remember having to write a letter to Xiaomi on why I wanted to root my phone and wait a week just to have the ability to unlock the bootloader of my Redmi note 4 lol. Moto's method is definitely way easier than that.

would system be read/write though? I've been out of the loop for a while, is there any fix for it yet?

if you're purchasing now, then there's no ROMs, TWRP, or anything.. but u can easily unlock bootloader and use ADB coz its Stock Android.. so if you want custom ROMs.. now you can just wait.. (if any ROM developer sees this.. if u own a Moto G40F.. pls make ROMs for this device.. thanks)

¿Why LG G8 don't have any custom rom?

I was about to buy this phone and like all the ones I buy I go to XDA to check if it has a developer to back it up but I find that it does not have anyone.
My question is ... Why doesn't he have anyone behind him? Is the phone itself like Sprint's LG G5 that is almost impossible to modify or is it just a dead cell phone?
-I using a translator, if we see an error gramatically

.

Nothing?

Because it may not be a popular/interesting device?
Because LG gave up the smartphone business and support is dodgy?

Most variants of this device are bootloader locked. It would be nice if LG would unlock the bootloaders considering they're ditching the business.

Couldn't it be demanded? Right now, LG phones are cheaper than any mid-range, taking this into account and that they were withdrawn from the market, it would be a very good idea to release it. Is there any way to get in touch with them or guy to get it released?

I dunno, I don't work for them.
Not likely though considering they only currently support a few devices for that, and they'll be shutting the site down: https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
