Develop Bugs

s_off discussion thread.

To keep the development clean you can discuss here all related things concurring s off benefits and more.

Huh?
There is a huge thread that's never far from the top.

think he means that the thread is now development not development and discussion now.

Yes because that thread is cleaned a several times i do not want to risk its getting closed or the developer is getting sick of it and stops.
So please if you have something to say about soff that is not helping in anyway to get us nearer to a soff device please post out here if you want it of your back :good:

Just wondering, can we safely flash radios without S-OFF?

Yes unlike early version the radio is within the ROM. So if you flash a ROM with new base you are flashing with the new base.

What are we wanting from s-off then? If we can change the radio, remove carrier branding, change roms and sim-unlock, what else is there?

People want S-OFF so they can do stuff to their phones without having to use HTC's tool to void their warranties. I would assume that's one of the biggest ones.

The ability to flash boot.IMG from recovery is also a good perk. No need to get to a computer to flash a new kernel or ROM.

You can remove carrier branding without s-off by rooting and installing a custom rom but, for sim unlock, s-off is needed.

The LTEVO has s-off guys, go check that out, I think it would benefit one x. We technically don't need s-off tho, we can flash everything from recovery. No need to keep running to a computer
The LTEVO says hello!

Rom question

do all of the roms in the regular htc one m8 work for the verizon m8?

In General, yes. The steps to turn s off are a bit different though because verizon does not allow you to unlock the bootloader through htc Dev website. If you need help rooting/s off, google is your friend.

No problem! Most ROMs will say somewhere that it works with all carriers but it's smart to check just in case.
Have fun

That would be the stock HTC ROM, with no carrier bloat, so if what you are looking for is pure HTC Stock, that would be it.

DE v Normal Sense ?

What are the benefits/differences between Dev Ed Sense handset and "normal" Sense handset, apart from earlier OTA updates ?

And no carrier bloat

Ok, thanks.
So, being as my m8 is s-off, unlocked and not carrier locked (HTC--001), there would be no real benefits it converting it to a de version ?
Thanks
