Do both do the same thing? If not, why?
Which is best?

The best method is one where you feel yourself in the most familiar, both methods give you root....

Good, I thought so, but I guess paranoia got the better of me......
Thanks

The first one is for AT&T only
The second one for the International One X.

Im still afraid to try it like you, but a user reported that rooted 3 phones with this method and it seems noob proof, like it says.
I dont know if i will wait till the new 4.0.4 OTA update... i dont think it will have problems if later cames up.
Cheers.

Maybe it´s better to wait till the update cames out.

hi,guys,I got my inc2 S-OFF、Root、Recovery with chinese and network unlock!

hi,guys,I got my inc2 S-OFF、Root、Recovery with chinese and network unlock!
The method to get s-off on the inc2 is not the same as incs, the S58 file is not the same. I haven't the s58 file for incs2,but today ,i found a person to get the inc2 s-off,but not to use xtc clip,now my incs2 is s-off and unlock.and can use gsm、WCDMA、CDMA SIM、USIM and UIM card,in china ,CDMA Network must use UIM Card,but he didn't tell me the method,I pay for it about 50 RMB,you can see this web,there are photos of my inc2:
the outsidelinks "ACD168 " had told us
I am a new user are not permitted to post outside links in their messages,
who can tell me how to post outsidelinks and upload photos??
Best way is to make some posts in other threads
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
or just PM me it and ill do it for u.
He paid someone to unlock the phone. Most likely used a sim unlock clip. Nothing to see here.
it is the first known inc2 S-OFF though.

XTC doesn't support the Incredible 2 yet (it supports Incredible S). So the fact that it has been unlocked is at least a step in the right direction. XTC Pay-As-You-Go might be worth the money at this point.
I'd gladly pay something to have my inc2 S-off!
Please keep the discussion development-oriented so that this topic isn't locked. Please take any meta-discussions to the General area.
Thanks!
If we can get S-Off on our Inc2's, would the temporary root as stated before, be used to gain full time root access?

why is it not promising...?
So, this might be a stupid question, but in regards to s-off, I know that up until recently on my INC (ADR6300), I did NOT have s-off on my INC, (until when I needed to flash my radio firmware so my video camera would work) and I was able to load whatever rom I wanted. Granted, I did use unrevoked initially to get perm root, so I am assuming that is the reason that we are stuck on the INC2's? (ADR6350)
Obviously, the end goal is to get S-off, but before that we would be OK (more or less) if we could just write to /system, right?

It isn't promising because he took it to somebody else who looks to have used a hardware clip to unlock it, whereas we're looking for software solutions.
in that sense, then yes... looks like it. but i was pretty ready to get a clip to get it working. the way i see it, as long as we are not too far behind IS's root development, then it's good news
It reminds me of the dss days. People would pay alot of money for "Special hardware and software" to unlock. Then a few months later a cheap software update would come up for free to everyone. Lets just hope this is how it goes with the new lock downs companies are implementing with their new phones.

Update to 4.04 in UK - have I missed something

Hi,
I have looked through threads but if I missed this then I am sorry !
I have an unlocked One X, on Vodafone in the UK.
I have been away on holiday for most of August and got back to see the news of the 4.04 update. I saw it on the HTC website and an article on Andoid Central.
I have been checking daily and my phone consistently says there is no update.
Two questions;
1) As far as I know I have the international unlocked version, is there a way to check this ?
2) Am I missing something about the update, i.e. have I got confused and it simply isn't out yet for my phone ?
Thanks for any/all help !

The thread with 4.0.4 in the title has hardly left the first page for over a month now.
If you're unlocked, you can flash any ROM based on 2.17... What you waiting for?
It's being released now in the UK according to the 4.0.4 thread

Just popped up on mine a minute ago. Need given I have rooted my stock model I probably need to look into what to do before just flashing.
Yeah mate, checked 2 minutes ago and mine found it.
Also on international HOX on Voda.
Check again mate !

From what I know and can tell:
Smoother home screens
Smoother recent apps transition
Menu bar fix
Change in layout of browser
Better signal
Camera improvement - haven't noticed yet
Multitasking improvement - haven't noticed yet
Battery improvement - haven't noticed yet

And there it is
Yes, thanks to all !
I checked the day after and there it was waiting.
I was just confused by the country thing, as I thought all international versions got it at the same time.
All installed now and working well.
Just need to send mine back to get rid of the yellow spot on the screen and then I'm al sorted ...
Thanks again

Infobar A02: Anyone here try to unlock it?

Good morning or afternoon, or night, depend on your timeline. It's 7:44 AM here.
So people, the Infobar A02 had been released by KDDI au for more than a month. I'm very, very, very exciting to get it. The problem here is: I wonder if any Japanese here try to unlock it? So far all I can find is a way to temproot it:
htcsoku.info/htcsokudev/2013device/root-a-locus/ (Sorry:laugh: Still not enough post to actually post a link)
This one is basically a modified version of HTC One X, so someone on 2chan suggest that we should follow the same procedure of unlocking the AT-T HTC One X to unlock this one, after rooting.
Anyone here try anything? Very appreciate any helpings

Just letting everyone know that you can htc dev unlock your device. Just tested it on a person's device and it worked fine. Going to post a system image and boot.img to the development forum soon so look forward to that

I can't believe they didn't lock that out! I was gonna wait for a Moto X Developer Edition if it didn't, but now this just makes me decision a little bit easier. I've had an HTC One as my work phone since it came out and I love it and I'll be getting a Moto X tomorrow but I don't know how long I'm keeping that job and this has been making my decision harder.
Another confirmation. Now I wonder if moonshine will work...
Why not confirm again. Just went through the process and unlocked my One as well.
Awesome news. That was the clincher. Purchased, picking up after work.

I do not see the Verizon One on the list at HTC Dev. Do you just choose 'other devices' on the drop down? Thinks for any help.

is the past is indicative of the future, unlock now while you can under "other devices"
both the inc4g and dna were able to utilize that to unlock for short periods of time after release, and both got locked out within 10 days-2 weeks
so for those that get the device, don't **** around...just unlock
urgh its like a race against time for me! I get home tomorrow and I'm picking it up around 6pm - I hope I can unlock immediately when I get home
Guys
Im not a dev, im coming from my rooted S3 and I always follow the directions you guys provide and have never had a n issue with my rooting and flashing.
Since i just bought the one should I follow the directions on youtube from and unlock or just sit tight until you guys put all this together....AND I do appreciate all that you guys do for us NON devs..

M8 Dual Sim - any differences

Hi,
well, its getting towards the the (semi) retirement of my (the one and only) HD2.
5 years was a pretty good investment and it still all works great.
but...
I am thinking that the M8 is really the only contender with the possibilities (wishful thinking) of multi boot and maybe even including windows phone 8.
the ideal phone will be the dual sim version for me but i can see all the good stuff going on for the M8 but will everything apply if i get the dual sim version?
what i mean is, are they exactly the same apart from the extra sim?
i dont want to get the dual sim then find out that i cannot take advantage of any of the development going on for the M8.
thanks.

hmm, ok, thanks for the heads up JellyTooth. that seemed to be the impressions i was getting from the posts here.
thats a shame that it is different as it really seems to be the ideal phone.
i suppose i could always just buy it anyway and then use it standard without rooting, flashing, customizing, and, and, and...
naw, forget that.
i am still undecided and less than 4 weeks to go before my birthday...

I bought it in Saudi one month ago, it works excellent. If you don't mind too much for the dev then get it. With root you can customize it with Xsense,Sense 6 and so on. Finally I find a dual sim phone for my needs.
Hi bro, I just have a question if you dont mind, can I root the dual sim M8 without loosing OTA official update, just rooting no recover no missing up the device
Well lets see here , regular sim doesnt get updates regularly like normal m8 ( from several sources including htc themselves ) , and no rom devolpment as the second post said
other than that the device is excelent and the best i've ever seen in handling 2 sims and the difference in the price isnt hight

yes, thats a good point. have you rooted yours?
ok, it looks like there is a twrp for M8 dual sim which means it can be rooted and i think that will be enough to keep me happy for now at least.
also i assume it is on the list of phones to get htc official android L so now i am talking myself back into this...
another question, can you disable either sim when its not required without taking it out?
Yes you can disable one sim from the setting without phisically removing it…
---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

UPDATE: I decided to get the m8 dual sim today
I know if I bought the single sim version I will regret it later.
as all have said before, its sweeeet
fyi, I bought it in Carrefour in Abu Dhabi. they had a discount today as this weekend is Eid Al Adha holiday.
cost was 2249AED (about 610USD, 380GBP) and included a matching grey dot view case and 2 htc branded screen protectors (actually cost a bit less as i got points on the store card and air miles)
its the 16GB version but as i have a 64GB card to add in thats more than enough (for now...)
which i thought was a pretty good deal
(i know its only the first day but already i am missing root for titanium backup )
