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

I think the hboot is the same as 2.17.751.x, but my memory is atrocious, so I might be wrong. Worth a go...

Just flash a gpe rom, there is no difference in converting it except you can't flash sense roms…. Doesn't really make "sense"

I haven't found a good tutorial for doing this. Everything always says "refer to this thread" or "use this guy's instructions" and there's always some uncertainty in the mix.
Do I need to s-off the device to install a gpe rom? Will I still get ota updates from google?

Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp recovery
Backup stock system in twrp
Download gpe Rom. I like sinless
Flash Rom.
Soff not needed but can be handy in the future and you should get it while you can. You will not get ota from Google but all the good developers release updates quickly

but I lose my warranty at HTC's whim because I need to register at the htcdev site, right?

You gotta pay to play. You could use towel root, and sunshine which you don't have to register, but you will still be soff and they are not dumb

How Do You Install AOSP On VZW HTC 10?

Hey guys, I saw a thread a while back and I can't find it now but it was a method to get AOSP onto the VZW HTC 10. It involved adding some files into the radio or firmware or something along those lines. If anyone could point me to that thread or a tutorial on getting AOSP on my VZW 10 that would be awesome. Thanks!

S-off is needed if have a Verizon 10, it's the only way of flashing anything on it as Verizon disables bootloader unlocking by default on their devices.

But even sprint says have to be soff and do a firmware with no radio then u can use aosp I'm on sprint I just say that every aosp for spr and vzw need soff

This was fixed just a few days ago, see post #5 above. @tabp0le found a solution for the firmware problem affecting Sprint/Verizon users. S-off/modified firmware is no longer required. All ROMs built after April 28 should boot for all users thanks to https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/170030/
