We need to wait for a tool to allow us to S-OFF, so we can reverse it if going back to stock. Then it's similar to galaxy we can flash via CWM.

It could take a while to get s-off. Someone needs to find their way through the new security protecting the radio to change the flag. It is possible, it's just a question of time. I also am waiting for s-off. Not rooted yet.

Yeps rooted ..
if i dont root my phone i cant do anything

As other poster says it just allows us to go back stock for warranty etc and it makes the process safer as such. Then its exactly like galaxy cwm and roms

ahh cool thanks guys...to be honest so far phone is running smooth and already disabled most of the crap from the phone anyway...although i must admit i am already missing my TB and other rooted apps. oh well this is like a whole new adventure.
Better wait and be safe than do something stupid..What about the htcdev.com is no one thinking about doing it that method?

Forget that method as there are certain warranty issues arising if you use the tool, read the thread in development with user comments which go into detail. Wait for revolutionary

Still no root for me... and personally I don't see any issue to unlock my device with HTCDev's online tool.
HTC can anyway recognize if an eventual problem is an hardware fault or something caused by custom software ran on the device.
I can't hear anything rattling on my One X.

Send it back, rattling is never a good sign.
I wouldn't unlock/root my phone with the HTCDev, they can use that against you if you ever encounter issues. Even when the rooting isn't the cause of the problem, if they say it is: are you going to start a lawsuit because of it ? No. So you are practically defenseless.

It isn't strange, even when a 100 pound device is rattling I would return it. Rattling isn't something you expect with smartphones.

[Q] Golden opportunity to get HTC phones s-off from now on...

HTC just asked on their facebook page "how do you make your phone YOURS" by customising it. Good opportunity for people to go on there and ask for s-off

As much as I hate to say it I agree with Xmoo, theres been e-petitions, signed letters, huge letters to the CEO's etc. They aren't going to give it us, too much of a risk. Atleast not until theres enough new devices around that the HOX isn't so popular.
But I'd give it 2 years + before they give S-off to HOX.

Would love for this to actually do something, but I'm with Xmoo.....
The carriers just won't stand for it. I reckon HTC would do it if it weren't for the beating they'd get from the carriers.

S-On makes it hard to brick a device.
S-Off makes it easy to brick a device.
I don't think HTC want to deal with the warranty issues of people who cant follow simple instructions. Many of them don't even know what phone they have.

You have to think as well htc haven't thought it through. With s-off you completely loose your warranty so if there making cash of fixing s-on phones they would make more with s-off,as people would send the phone in with no warranty. So to me it sound like htc didn't think there whole security through in the 1st place.
Or am I not right, btw I'm all for s-off and want it bad I don't care for my warranty at all

HTC wants to make its android version a closed one ,always late with update ,last to release source codes as if they don't want to , no soff .HTC has become a bit bizzare to be honest ,taking down ruu sites ,threats to devs very strange .....

Yeah if he was only a dev and not working for them in some capacity.
Just saying . Maybe that's why the sudden issue
Or yeah HTC have gone anal.

I'm curious, do HTC have any reps on XDA? You'd imagine they'd be picking up on the mood if there were.
I'd bet that anyone on XDA etc, is the type of person people ask about phone recommendations. Power users may not directly be the biggest piece of the pie chart, but i could almost guarantee they are the type to make recommendations to their friends and family.

HTC doesn't care about xda ,we represent less than 1% of their customers according to HTC

I hope you will still hang around, helping us deal with noobs and their Desires.

If you've had it for less than 2 years and you are in europe, and you still have purchase receipts, HTC will most probably fix it for you under warranty. Exact same happened to me and that's what I got.

So which phone are you getting next?
My Desire is starting to show its its age. Wishing it would die on me but it keeps chugging along even with countless drops and steamy rooms.
Bought it back in June 2010 and the upcoming HTC One is making me feel things I've never felt in a long time since getting my Desire.

My Desire fell into the toiler(again) last week and was sitting dead for a few days but it just won't die. best phone I ever had, if the HTC One is all that and a beg of chips I'll keep my Desire in a special case for future generations to behold.

erm...? i really dont know what to get, im using my really old samsung wave right now haha. but i was thinking last night and i love flashing roms and messing/learning soo i thought whats the point in buying the latest HTC One or SIII? i mean the whole point in flashing is to upgrade a phones software to something new and u cant if u already have the latest.. the only thing u could do is root and flash a tweaked version of what u already have, so il pass on the HTC One and SIII. so what i want is a HTC but slightly older but have the hardware to handle sense 4.x etc etc, iv always likes the HTC Sensation XL so mite go down that road, its sense 3.5 (which i love) plus it can be upgraded to sense 4 so i can flash away mad on it. We'll see, im not buying it yet antway, iv too much on with work and im doing evening courses on welding and they last till aprill 21st so it will prob be then (ish)

[Q] One X WiFi fixed?

Well, this is a bit of a "crazy" question - I am unsure if I have successfully fixed my Wifi. I used THIS Guide to fix it (used alu foil). But my question is: is this a permanent fix or just a temporary?
I can give my HTC to a service center on friday and maybe they can repair it (if they dont discover that I have opened it before of course )
What do you think? Leave it like it is now? Or get it to HTC?
Thanks
Robin

It should be permanent.
HTC won't fix your phone because it has been opened.
EDIT: I should've thought before posting. I meant permanent. Derp.

if it was opened so that they don't see it, that it was opened then they would repair it...but if there are noticeable things that they know it was opened then yes not

Yeah, that is quite a long time from now. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Sonic to see if he still has the Java card? He hasn't been on the forums in a couple months.

For sure! I am not a dev so I respect anyone who works on our devices so I am def not being impatient just was joking a little...

justin (@jcase) is a great mobile security researcher and developer of many Android exploits, I've been followed his work for quite some time now. Although the tweet didn't say it was specifically for the HTC One, the thought of 4.4.2 being able to root is a HUGE step forward for those that are stuck on the OTA.

I sent mine directly to HTC. Most people seem to get theirs back with 4.3, but 4.4.2 is readily available now. I am hoping I get it back with 4.3. I did have S-OFF on 4.4.2, but I RUU'd back to stock 4.2.2 after hearing HTC denied the warranty claim on a user who was S-OFF.

I hope my next device that HTC is mailing out to me will not be on 4.4.2. The one I got that had the terrible purple/pink tint came as 4.2.2. Hopefully another exploit is found as 5 months on stock would be torture .

Does this mean S-off vulnerability as well or only root without S-off?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk 2

By itself it means root only. But once you have root that means firewater will then work for s-off, as temproot is what is failing for firewater on our bootloader.

Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app

Hey everyone, I am a complete Noob to the One and HTC devices in general (I've been using Nexus devices for a while) so please bear with me. I picked up a HTC One that should be here shortly and I was researching rooting and ROMs, which brought me here. It sounds like 4.4.2 cannot be rooted due to the new bootloader lock, but I came across two links that say that the One on 4.4.2 can be unlocked at HTCdev.com, and another that says the rumrummer tool now works. So I'm just looking for some clarification on what I can expect when the phone gets here. Do those methods work at all?

No at the moment no current method available works on 4.4.2. However a new exploit is set to be released in early august.

Don't wait to root. You may lose the opportunity. Root isn't guaranteed. Especially with every update.
