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!!

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.
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!
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.

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

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

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?

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.
plzzzz pro guys we need cracked the S-ON on the Wildfire S via software >>> im verry tired serching for but no one answer and no body care plz plz plz we need a solution for this !!!
there is no software to crack s-on. you need an xtc clip, or find a shop with one to make it s-off.
is s-off or s-on in bootloader? can we copy it from s-offed phones?
Hardware only for now. Unless you can convince the alpharevx team to try and crack it.

Sometimes I'm really wondering if these topic starters actually take the time to search/read through the existing threads in these forums..
I only recently registered but have been lurking on these forums ever since i got a winmo quite a few years ago. Ever since i've been amazed by the ignorance of some of the people that show up in these parts of the interwebs..
My 2 cents.
On Topic: Yeah, unfortunately it's XTC-Clip only at the moment. But imho you could have figured that out if you would have done even a tiny bit of research before you blindly bought your WFS
I totally agree, I check in everyday only to be greeted by the same old questions in a brand new thread
There is a search facility on this site, I wish more people would use it.

I second you
Looks like the XTC-clip is coming down in price and with unlimited unlocks, doesn't that mean that just one of us needs to get it and then use it to unlock everyone else's phone?
At $10/person we pay for the $100 clip in 10 phones. I'll do it if people don't mind sending me their phones for a few days to unlock them.
Am I crazy, or can't I just order one for $55?

Hi all!
So, Ive been trying (off and on) for months to S-Off my WildFire S, with no luck. And, for some reason, the Boot unlock refuses to work correctly, i.e crashes and force closes on my computer.
Long story short, I would be willing to pay round trip shipping, from Continental US, and insurance on the XTC clip, along with a nominal fee, if some kind soul would let me borrow/rent their magic S-Off tool.
I live in South Bend, IN, so the closer you are, the better. Actually, if youre within about an hour drive or so, Id be willing to meet somewhere.
Thanks,
Dan

And search does not always mean "search", more like scour or seek. If you read the general forums for this device for 5 minutes you would see that its not unlockable. Even searching google would show you this. Its not a big deal, just look around next time
Depending on how much getting an unlocked bootloader is worth to you, you might want to read this thread - Verizon HTC One General - Purchased a JavaCard for S-OFF.
Among the many things you can do with S-Off you can use the Super CID tool, which allows you to enter working information into the htcdev site, you will not get the error code when trying to your identifier token.
What is being offered is for Sonic2756 to use a HTC developer tool called a javacard to get S-Off for the Verizon HTC One and a number of other HTC devices.
I personally think this is a great deal, less then $50 after all the shipping/insurance expenses get added in, for someone to use an official htc method to get s-off. Even though the chances are good that someone will find an exploit to achieve s-off, the chances are also good that an exploit like that will take a while to develop and those exploits could run the risk of breaking your phone and giving you a fancy paper weight. I believe using a HTC developer method of achieving S-Off to be the safest way to go, provided you dont cut corners with packaging your phone and ship with insurance for it.
Chill out on the guy, he probably just got into Android and wanted to mod his phone. We don't want people thinking we're jerks and have them go back to the iPhone do we?
In his defense, there are like 8 different HTC One variants, it's horrendous. This is just the HTC One, without any letters after it. It's the M7 model from HTC. HTC6500LVW is the official model/SKU number from Verizon.
@armpit101 - Like everyone else already said, it's currently not unlockable unless you purchase an S-Off procedure from a member called Sonic on here. It's $30 but you also have to pay for shipping both ways. So likely around $60 total if you tack on insurance, which is highly recommended for a $650 phone.
The link for that is in the above post courtesy of Wozzie.

I just thought I would update this thread with current prices, Sonic has been reduced his price from $30 to $20, this does not include the addition charge of return shipping, which gets included in the transaction, the only thing that does not get charged in what you buy from his website is the cost of getting the phone to him.

Is $50 too much to pay for S-OFF? I don't think so. You can always go cheap and not pay for insurance. Cost $5.80 to ship with no insurance. He has a ship back option with no insurance.

The cost is this
it was $30 for the S-OFF
Sonic kindly lowered it $10 because he is a great guy.
so,
for $20 + $15 = $35
you Get
you phone S-OFF and sent back to you with $600 of insurance.
the other fee comes from how you decide to ship, I suggest the same way Sonic is sending it
it costs about $8.55 for $600 worth of insurance with USPS you'll end up most likely paying around $14-$16.
IMO for insurance shipped both way for $50 it's 100% worth it, I just need to find the time to send it out, keep saying I am but something keeps coming up.
work, life. bahh, but
from my estimations he should still have about 100 credits left at least (I hope)
and I am already htc dev unlocked so I don't feel the need to get S-OFF before those without root, also.

But, as I've searched around it seems there is no way to root the Verizon model of the htc one m9. All I want to do is be able to root my phone and get cyanogen mod 12. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
As of this moment, the only way is thru the use of a Java Card. There's a thread in this forum devoted to that, where you can get with one of the members that has a card and ship your phone to them for the procedure. Other than that, just waiting for beaups and jcase to get their method safe and available for public release. There's also a discussion on that.
Thank you so much for responding so quickly! I think I will just wait for the devs to release something. But, what would they be releasing and how can I keep an eye out for it?

It's called Sunshine...at least it was for the M8. And when it is released these forums will light up like a Christmas tree. You won't miss it

You can also make an attempt at finding someone close to you who would be willing to meet, the procedure is quick and painless from what I hear and it will unlock your phone, it is called "S-Off" in the HTC world and allows you to unlock your bootloader to make the possibilities endless, giving the ability to flash custom ROM's and custom kernels. It is most definitely worth it.. Here is the thread for Java card
OK thanks! Maybe I can find someone on Craigslist to do this.
Please don't look on Craigslist. If you need root that bad, I know someone that can s-off your device with a Java card. Shipping costs both ways will be your responsibility though.

Every bad thing that has ever happened in the world started with this sentence...LMAO JK!
Not every but alot of them unfortunately.
I have never had a bad thing happen to me through Craigslist. Actually quite the opposite. I got deals I couldn't find anywhere else and I met people that were absolutely awesome! Actually the roommates I live with, I found through Craigslist and the job I currently have is because of Craigslist.
Of course 99% of the time you'll be fine but that other 1% will land you in a body bag. There have been a couple Craigslist transactions turned homicides on California in the past few years. If and when I do buy or sell something on Craigslist, I always meet in a very busy public place and bring someone with me. Can't be too careful these days sad to say.

Try ping-pong root in the Samsung s6 thread. Beta 6 will root the m9??
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Premium HD app
Simple root on this phone won't really be of much use to the regular user with the way write protection is on this device. The real deal will only arrive when s-off and unlocked bootloader happens.

Can you send me info on this? I have been holding off on the M9 since there's no root. If I can get S-Off for just the shipping costs (cheaper than Sunshine when it becomes available), I'd pick up an M9 ASAP.

Would you work for free? No.... It's common courtesy to tip the person who bought a several hundred dollar Java card for their time and effort.

I could have sworn I read that the Sunshine would work on the Verizon M9, but since there is no root, it doesn't get past the initial part of the Sunshine process... I very likely am mistaken though since all other variants were unlockable on HTCdev.
