Just wanted to know how you guys fared with the recent S-OFF process. Just a quick and easy poll to see the results of the process, and to help determine the level of risk involved in going through this process.
I haven't yet done the S-OFF process, but do plan on it in the near future.
Success! no issues, guides were written for noobs to follow.
No issue here although revolutionary stuck at downloading recovery but cancelled out and.flash twrp no problem.
I'm going to start cooking now.

Completely painless. Even the auto call to Sprint.
Recovery didn't flash for me, but I wanted to install TWRP anyway so I flashed it through HBOOT.

I'm pretty new at this, but I thought it was a piece of cake. Everything went smoothly. The only problem was the error 16 when I tried to make a call. I'll bet Sprint is getting tons of calls tonight on that one lol.
Clockwork didn't flash. But s off took and flashing twrp worked fine.
Rooted and got titanium working too.
An epic experience of epic epicness.

I think you need one more option in there
Revolutionary worked great!, but error 16 sucked and so did figuring out I needed the fixed su.
I'm fairly new to the 3vo but not new to s-off. I'm a little late to the party but has there been any mention about going back to s-on in case we need to take back to sprint for exchanges and what not??? for example like a .img file??? I wanna do it so bad but don't wanna be stuck without being able to go back stock... Apologize for going off-topic...
Has anyone fixed error 16?

If you have it, when you make a call it will go right to Sprint and they will fix it. Very simple.
No problems at all, running a rooted 3vo!

I don't have 4g in my area and can't test it but is everyone else's 4g working fine without anything special
Got everything done in under 10 minutes. Process ran smooth and nothing really unexpected. The only snag I had was installing the superuser apk from the market, but I just used the fixed version I got on here and everything runs good now.
BTW...just restored my angry birds data using Titanium Backup. All those hours playing weren't wasted afterall!
I didn't have any issues but I do have a question, when I run ADB Shell from the command line I get $ instead of #, is there something I forgot to do or is this the normal state of this root method at this point? Root apps work, CWM recovery is installed, Superuser app is installed, can't seem to access anything or do much from the command line.

Ive been reading and searching, i have 2.11.605.0 installed on my phone from factory. Is there anything special, like downgrade or anything, that i need to do to run revolutionary?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I rooted with Revolutionary from .5 without a problem, so I don't think so - as far as I can tell you only need to worry about downgrading from .9 to root.
it's weird that your phone came with such an old firmware version installed...did it ever try to run any OTA upgrades?

Very nice. I'm still running the Incredible but will probably get a Tbolt this week. The Inc is in perfect condition but I'm looking for a larger screen and a front facing camera. Plus I can pick one up for $49. While the Bionic is nice and the GNex is the caddy, I'm just not going to spend that kind of money.
Thats how i felt, im very happy with this phone. Actually runnin the same rom by newt i had on dinc, mcrunny sense!

Incredible to TBolt
Hey Guys -
Got and rooted my TBolt on Thu 1/5.
It came w/ same (older?) software as Donny.
For grins, intellectual curiosity mostly, I chose to d/l and install OTA's, then root. When following the step-by-step guides @ the links below, easy as pie.
downgrade
http://www.thunderboltforums.com/forum/htc-thunderbolt-development/7218-how-downgrade-get-s-off-after-updating-latest-ota-2-11-605-9-a.html
then this to S-OFF, Recovery, and Superuser
http://www.thunderboltforums.com/forum/htc-thundebolt-hacking-guides/5259-rs-approved-revolutionary-5-minutes-less-root-without-data-loss.html
Only oddity was when running the exploit it seemed to hang on "Waiting for Device". I poked around a couple forums for advice, and tried toggling USB Debugging and off it went.
Running CM 7.1.1 - just like on Incredible - like this new device quite a bit!
Happy to help others via PM if they may have questions.
Kind regards.

Seeing that there is a boatload of work to install this leak, I decided that its probably time to do homework instead of trying to play with my phone at 2AM.
However, I have noticed a lot of people saying that the release cannot be too far behind since the leak came out.
I'm a bit skeptical on this idea, because didn't a leak come out for the HTC Sensation ages ago? Now, I did not research much, but as far as I know (again, I may be wrong), the Sensation didn't have an official update either.
Its definitely not too far-fetched to think that the update might be delayed even further. HTC did promise that the updates would be early 2012 and as we all know, "early 2012" was a long time ago. Some said the updates would be during MWC, some said otherwise. What do you guys think?
As for development, this is definitely a very good sign as the interest and traffic for the HTC Amaze the past two days were quite phenomenal. The CM9 builds and Evervolv builds never really got anywhere for months. Do you guys think its worth downloading the leak now? Or would waiting be a better option? From what I heard, you have to re-root your device simply downloading the update.

There had been so many issues for me, such as getting S-Off to try and make things easier but there were errors for backing up. Instructions said if I wanted to install with S-On, I'd have to lock and unlock my phone again. How did it work out for you? I haven't even seen screenshots of this update. Is it sense 3.5?

The only htc sensation(the original one, not the xl) that doesn't have ics is the sensation 4G (T-mo version)
I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if Tmo is sitting on the update to push sales for the One-S. Not that I am a marketing expert or anything, but so far the release seems very stable and I can't figure out why they are holding off on it
I have a stock Amaze and installed it easily. All I did was rename the file and drop it on the drive.

Yes and no is my uneducated opinion. I feel like they're update the firmware yet because the radio seems finicky. With s-off, I think that they'll just be able to update the firmware through hboot, but with s-on I think we'll need to go stock, download the update, then do the reroot process....I could be off, but in the end we'll still be ok for any updates either way.
I think that pushing One S sales definitely sounds likely.
Meanwhile, I just think T-Mobile is bad with updates and this sucks for the development community because it means less resources to help people. There are so many devices out there getting updates anyways. Its not like updating the Amaze is going to hurt their revenue either. Its just frustrating. I definitely advise against waiting for an update from T-Mobile. Definitely update now. There are already great ROMs that were made.

Well I bought this HTC Rezound on craigslist, the guy i bought it from said it was rooted and blah blah. To begin with I didnt want the phone rooted, because to be honest I have no use for it or know what it really is used for, I have never rooted a phone or attempted. Well anyways, just today I restarted the phone because it was acting real slow, so i restarted it and when it powered back on it got stuck on the 4g screen. I left it like that for like 10 min and nothing. Please if anyone can help me on trying to fix this, it would gladly be appreciated. I dont want it rooted anymore just normal. If you can help please make this an easy experience, I dont ever plan on ever rooting or dealing with this stuff..thanks!!
Download the gb ruu from the sticky in the dev thread and run it. You'll be back to stock like it came out of the box http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19189145

Or this one, its newer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25664508
But he's right your going to have to flash the RUU to fix it. Also rooting is not a bad thing, it's actually a good thing. It allows you to load custom ROMs on your phone so you don't have to live with the standard Verizon / HTC crap. Like mine for example, I am running Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, with Sense 4.0.

Not a problem, just trying to help out. I know all to well the feeling of a bricked phone....
I had this issue, sounds like dude didn't flash the right boot image to the rom.
Yes, start from the latest ruu and go from there.
It really installs on the eris? Is it worth it? How about ICS? I got off the eris because it was so damned slow. Will it really work with these modern OSs?
Sent from my Infected Rezound using xda app-developers app
It works, just not well. Most functions are there, but the lag gets to be unbearable at times. Eris lost devs long before the hero did, so the eris builds are behind.
I'd say give it a try for yourself, and if you need any help getting the later jb heroc builds running on the eris, lemme know.

I appreciate the reply. I'm sure I will he asking a few question to you u you don't mind.
The whole reason I migrated to the dinc was because the eris was so terribly slow. I mean I'd get a phone call and it would tale 20 seconds to respond to my answer request. Or typing a text and getting a call, but so badly delayed that the presses registered while the call comes in a hangs up on them. I nearly threw it out the window. I know custom ROMs run better than stock, but I can't imagine it will be amazingly better... But it never hurts to try it.
