S-Off

I'm a little bit confused about S-Off. If I were to have S-Off would I not have to flash boot.img? What are the advantages of having S-Off?
Thank you

You would not have to flash boot.img and also could give yourself supercid so you can flash any ruu. There is a lot more it allows you to do but that is all the general user would use it for

s-off
open bank vault without security
s-on
closed bank vault with security guards armed with m16
s-on (unlocked) [htcdev]
locked bank vault without security. u get to mess with the outside but not the inside
get what i mean?

Ohh okay. That makes sense. Thank you both for the replies. To achieve S-Off is it a hardware or software modification?

There are hardware and software ways, currently no way to get it altogether without the HTC DIAGS, javacard, and Y-cable. Basically no way for us end users.

how close is S-OFF
I'm considering going for HTCDev, until S-OFF comes, but I've read somewhere that the HOX should receive S-OFF pretty soon.
I hate these kind of words "pretty soon, normal, common... " its seems bla-bla to me.
so in your opinion, how close is S-OFF?

s-off updates

guys where are we to s-off?
we proceed?
There are currently a way or something to get s-off?

An s-off thread already exists on this forum.No need to make a new one.And "no" we do not have s-off yet.Please take any further questions to the s-off thread or the Q&A section.

Dear lord....I mean, no. Not at the moment and by the looks of it, not ever .

The problem is no real developer is looking into this....

my hox is branded vadafone, my fear is that tomorrow will not release updates, so I have to change cid, and without s-off you can not.
jb official update is already out for a while but Vodafone still has not released anything.
if we do not change cid I see it hard for branded devices.

My phones CID is Optus001 which means I'll be on ICS for a while longer, ICS does not stop my phone doing what I want it to do. Relax a bit, it will come.

Why would having a JB update and getting S-OFF be similar in any way?

You don't need S-OFF. Just an unlocked bootloader.

I think he's on about wanting to use an unbranded ruu which has already had jb released, which is not possible without s-off as we can't change our cid.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I believe an experienced developer needs to have a deep-look into S-off and then we might have some hope. But for now, we have to take use to this.

can i say something regarding XDA in general??? I am freaking pissed off with people now days not freaking going by the rules no more...
OP..Have you actually tried to bother to search firstly before opening this thread? No you have not.. Cause if you did you would know what is happening regarding s-off...So as regarding that we do not have it..Big deal..Learn on how to flash a custom rom without s-off. Also regarding JB..There are so many threads which discusses the whole situation regarding CIDS and so on..
So again why was there a need to open this thread. None at all..Just another pointless wasted thread and space and it is really starting to piss me off..
And to others here as well...You moan about this being another thread but you lot are just as bad as well by carrying on debating about stuff in this actual thread..Report the damn thing and move on...
I really miss the days back in the S2 forums were if there was a useless thread opened it was shut within an instant of it getting opened..Nowadays here at this forum you get nothing but bundles of useless threads and the attitude of a few members on this community has started to suck big style cause they freaking do not know the meaning of respect and they also do not know the meaning of freaking searching for something instead they expect to be spoonfed on how to freaking do **** on there smartphones...i really hope someone bricks there **** due to the stupidity of not doing the proper research...

XDA has changed. More mainstream. It's normal looking at how communities grow, develop and change.
I viewed XDA as a non member for 2 years before joining after getting an Android phone. Things have changed aplenty.

Exactly!! It'd be a "be the change you want to see in the world" type of thing.

i always miss the time when the applications are open....plus lately with work and stuff i do not have the time...i would love to be a mod but i feel i need to do more than what i am currently doing to be able to qualify for one...but trust me i feel with my experience i would not tolerate half of the things that are going around here

Xmoo said it should work, but after he gave it a try, it didn't. The hd7 unlock cable is basically an external powered USB OTG cable+microsd usb reader+microsd card (goldcard). It's nothing you couldn't build on your own. But It won't work because the HD7 gets S-Off'ed via Goldcard. Goldcards don't work on Tegra3 devices. Sorry guys, the OP has become really massive my fault!

a blank/bought java card wont help im afraid, as far as im aware it needs to be signed with HTCs private key so i wouldnt go buying one just yet

Yes, that's correct. But I ain't gonna buy it. At this early stage, it's all about gathering information. I will try to work step by stept with achieving milestones.

Bump this up as it seems that no one can help with s-off for us. Please guys we need this
Just to add aswell the guy I was ment to see didn't come in but will be in after Christmas so will give info on if he can help anyway as soon as I hear from him

[Q] Return to "locked" signature

Hi everyone,
I am new in the modding world of android and i am enjoying myself to try different ROMS on my HOX.
I think that me, like a lot of other people, have the problem of wifi signal: the HARDWARE problem.
Everybody of us know that the problem is joined to hardware because when we press between the camera and the volume up of our phone with ours fingers the signal goes up.
QUESTION:
Is there the method to make return our One x with the LOCKED signature in order to have no problem with htc warrently?
I would like to have a specifical guide, not a general guide if it is possible, because i read somewhere that there is an idea of the operation, or that someone have sent is phone in Russian for to relock with the LOCKED signature, but i've never found a good guide like for example the good guide of the installation of a rom.
If someone could help me I would be very grateful for it.
Thanks =)

Not possible without s-off even then not sure anyone knows what to change

yeah, that's going to cost you money though. Might as well open it up and use solder or foil fix like I did.

So you have been able to make return one x soff or you sent it abroad?

There are services that offer you to soff if you send them your phone.
I wouldn't trust it, shipping your phone around the world just to soff honestly not worth the risk.
Even if you got it back to locked they still have Imei number when you unlocked.

[Q] S-OFF Impossible

So can we safely say that S-OFF for the tegra HOX is impossible? Atleast not by shipping your phone so it can be done else where?

I've read a million and one threads about an S-OFF method for the masses but all seem to have hit a dead end. More over I don't see any new developments on this. But I do still have hope that one day it will be possible.

Yeah we know what the required tools are. But how to get them..that's been the biggest issue ever since. If repairshops that are non- HTC can do them.. How they got the signed Java card and clean S58 diag file? A real mystery.. Maybe they found another way around it.

Please spend your time useful, after 2 years of efforts/testing/searching for s-off there is no s-off for the masses. It will stay that way........
