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

[Q] strange idea! would it work

Since Verizon is several updates behind on the CDMA nexus. I read an article that said it was possible to update to 4.2. Using the unlocked version of the the software. Any thoughts

What do you mean? You want to install a 4.2 stock ROM on your CDMA VZW GNEX?
If so, are you new?

please wait for VZW to update your device's software.

I'm gonna but I saw the idea on an article and just wondered if it'd work. I'm fairly new to xda the Gnexus is my 2nd android coming from an HTC incredible 1

Yessir, you can have 4.2 on the VZW Gnex. Problem is, if you have to ask.
Go to the VZW dev forum, read the stickies, read them all. Find a 4.2 ROM, read at least the first few pages of the thread. If you have developed an understanding of all that you need to do to get 4.2, then good luck. If you read and still do not understand, then you need to keep reading until you do. If you keep reading and still do not understand, then you will want to just wait until it's made available OTA.

I got pretty good understanding of the process need to put a ROM on it. I'm gonna wait for the ota though. I'm pretty satisfied with 4.1 stock with an unlocked bootloader

[ROM] 4/6/2014 Stock Google Play Edition KOT49H.H16 - 1.16.1700.16

This is a Stock Google Play Edition Rom KOT49H.H16. It has no modifications besides being rooted and busy box being installed, Oh and I added an inverted stock MMS app with quick reply
System write protection has been removed on boot using @flar2's kernel module so you now can write to the system.
Credits/Thanks to @pasker17 for his time and patience and allowing all the poking and prodding of his GPe devices!
Thanks to @jmz for getting us a bootable recovery!
Credit to: chrisch1974 (I used his update zip/script and dropped my files in it)
Credit to @flar2 for the kernel module
Devs feel free to use as a base, just give proper credit
Updated 4/6/2014
MUST be bootloader unlocked and custom recovery. As of now I recommend Philz's touch recovery as twrp has been giving people issues
Philz recovery can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703223
1. Make sure you do a wipe if coming from another rom
2. Flash in recovery
3. If recovery tells you something about the rom wanting to flash a recovery and asks if you want to disable it select NO. that file is needed for supersu to initialize on boot if you disable it you will not have root access

As this is a stock rom.. Nothing will be added.. No big reports taken.. this is how it came right from google with the exception of root and busybox being installed and the kernel module to disable write protection on the system
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you use this and brick your device or if your device blows up, implodes, or flames start shooting from it or it kills your neighbor's dog. Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible.... It was the other guy... I swear....

So from my understanding, instead of the conversion, which changes it completely to a GPe setup, this is just the rom and so does not resize the system partition. Is that correct?
Thanks!

So does this rom lack any data upon initial flash? If so, after the fix, does it still have LTE connectivity?

After I edited the APN I had full data including LTE.

Does this ROM support the features that the Sense Camera supported (i.e Duo Camera features, HTC Zoe and others)?

Gee thanks for the help. I would have never thought to Google something like that.... There's a whole lot of specifics on how to go about it with this particular Rom on this carrier. Seriously appreciate the generosity of your time.
No worries, got it figured out no problem, I'll have this available for all roms I release specific to the Tmo variant on the M8.
FYI, there's a few more steps involved to get everything T-Mobile related (apk wise) working on this or any of the builds aside from Viper.

Sorry didn't mean to seem like I was being an a-hole. I wasn't home when I responded and I didn't have time to give detailed information. I figured instead of leaving you hanging I would suggest the search. Glad you figured it out.

Correct. But it is also possible to inject a kernel if a bootloader unlock isn't available.

You can download the stock boot.img from here:

Thank you for the quick reply. Haha I figured as much but they way the post is set up, it seemed like you could use heimdall to flash it. Knew it was too good to be true yet! Awesome work getting it set up already though

The fact that there's something posted in the development section for this phone gives me some hope that we'll achieve root soon.

Just to prevent any false hope, the configuration for the kernel was included with the T-Mobile version of the source so that is what made porting it so quickly possible. Root may not be as easy. I do hope it is, though.

The first thing you need to do is go S-Off. You can't convert or flash WWE firmware without it.
But most, if not all WWE ROMs, are compatible with the AT&T model.

More or less, yes. There are some carrier specific things that you might not get (VoLTE, wifi calling), but over all, those ROMs should work fine.
There are also ROMs that have carrier specific settings. With ViperOne you can choose your carrier to keep those, if they are different features than what WWE has.

You don't need s-off to flash ROMs.
Custom ROMs and OTAs don't go together. Its typically one or the other. If you are flashing custom ROMs, what do you need OTA for?
Update the firmware (if needed) and then just unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery TWRP and flash the ROM.
Only reason you would need to convert (flash WWE firmware) is if you need to change the band support.

The reasons for sunshine's pay license has been discussed on these forums ad naseum. If you don't have the money, simply don't s-off. Modding phones is not a necessity like food or shelter. And s-off isn't needed for most mods, anyway.
