HTCloggers patch due, S-off may not get it? - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

With the impending HTCloggers OTA security patch due, http://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...ecurity-flaw/2011/10/05/gIQABEjQNL_story.html this is my opinion...
Anyone with S-off and a cleanish ROM install may not be able to apply it.
Best bet is to utilise a cooked ROM where the dev has removed the HTCloggers.apk and associated files or return to S-on and a shipped ROM.
Any comments?

It will be provided here in the forum, or one can always try these methods http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18132418 .
Most responsible cooks have removed that stuff from their Custom ROM already anyway, will also happen for the Flyer.
But note that sofar only these models have been identified to even carry the logging: HTC EVO 4G, HTC EVO 3D, HTC Thunderbolt, HTC EVO Shift 4G HTC MyTouch 4G Slide HTC Vigor and some HTC Sensation.

I used this for a WiFi Flyer on HC and 3G UK Flyer on GB and looks to have worked for both. I did notice app stats still in the UI but was told it did not matter since there is nothing being logged and the ports are closed.

Bump for people too lazy to search!

The offending apk is on the flyer as well I removed to be safe. It's called HTClogger.apk

Amaze Dev question

How is it that the sensation fully working ics builds and the amaze is so hard to develop for is the specs on the amaze or is it just lack of popularity. I'm really just curious about this like seriously I just don't get it
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using xda premium
The sensation has already received their OTA ICS build from HTC, so they have a base ROM/kernel to dev from. HTC won't release some of the driver info for the Amaze, so people can't get certain things to work in their ROMs. Once we receive the ICS update, it should pickup.
OK I was a little baffled by there rapid from output for ics

Sorry, a little late reply, but if you haven't found a forum for the HTC Hero S / HTC Evo Design 4G these sites have the most development for the phones.
http://2fastroms.com/
Go here to get a one click root tool, cwm, roms & kernels. All under the download section and HTC Hero S (same phone as the design 4g)
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/
Go here to get the rest of the development. Roms (including ics sense) and mods. Listed as HTC Design 4g / HTC Hero S.
They should create one cause they're only replacing EVO 3Ds with Design 4Gs right now. I've been without a phone for 2 days now, and they have NONE! ANYWHERE!

Why sad? We know have a clue and it is pretty much when a lot of us knew it was going to be anyway. Plus based on the leaks it wasn't ready, so I think the extra time is going to be a good thing.

Awesome, it will be out right after the phone is discontinued and about a week after Jelly Bean is released.
How hard is it really, to just have a decent upgrade schedule? I mean, ICS came out when, in October? It was at least 6 months ago. How long does it take to put it on a damned phone?
Assholes. Plain and simple. That's HTC's schedule by the way... Who knows how long it will take VZW to load it down with bloat and actually push it out the door.
September?
JB is for tablets only. At least that's what they were saying.

First off ICS is a major overhaul. Second we've been getting constant leaks so it's not like htc has been sitting idly on their hands.

Yes, and by the time they release this and people run it for a day or two, we will be seeing threads about how disappointing it is and why didn't we get sense 4 and I'm going back to my leaked custom and blah blah blah...LOL! Just wanted to summarize future events for you all.
In all seriousness, we have plenty to play with now and I'm just going to enjoy what we have from our great devs and patiently wait for the OTA.
Just waiting for source....

At this rate android 5.0 will be out before we get anything.

This phone got way more love than the Droid Charge. It had GB leaks and finally a damned GB OTA that actually fixed some stuff, but VZW left us in the dust and won't be bringing ICS. The Charge is basically EOL- no ICS, no AOSP. There is an alpha ICS build, but has no working RIL.
Sadly, it seems 4G phones are less likely to get AOSP with the added complication of the RIL. 4G, AOSP, ICS, we all want too much, lol.

I'm really worried for the future of phone modding as it's getting harder and harder with each generation to be free with our phones.

How Do Updates Work?

I've complained to Sprint on the delay of ICS for the EVO 3D. They have told me that they don't have the software and are unable to send it. Also they have told me that they have no control when HTC will send the upgrade to them.
Now, this makes no sense to me. I would think that Sprint has something to do with this and it's not just a HTC issue. In fact, HTC told me that it's a joint effort between them and Sprint, which makes sense to me.
This BS with the update is really making me consider getting a Galaxy Nexus for my next phone. But, I have concerns about Sprint just refusing to let the update happen, which is what I think is going on with the EVO 3D ICS update.
So, to my question, how do system updates work?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using Tapatalk 2
I truly don't believe its a sprint issue at this point. HTC has been less than forthcoming about updates for the 3d (or any HTC phone, for that matter).
I'm sure sprint has to QC check and approve/push the update (and probably has final say as to whether or not the update gets pushed at all) but I'm fairly certain the ball is in HTCs court right now.
Then again, this is 100% opinion and speculation on my end - I'm probably completely off base.

Oh yeah, that. That's been known for a while.
Regardless, that still gives HTC 25 more days before they have to provide sprint with software to test (assuming that is, in fact, the way it works - I still don't know) just to be compliant with their own schedule. On top of that, sprint will have to test and approve the update before pushing it out.
IMO, I think we'd see leaked RUUs for sprint if they actually had a functional ROM in testing right now. But at the same time, we've got the leaked ROM from virgin mobile, so who knows?
Either way, I'm glad I jumped ship and left sprint
Sent from my HTC One X
Ok, so I just revisited the 3d forums for the first time since jumping ship.
I revise my opinion. Based on the fact that pretty much every other carrier seems to be receiving OTA updates (based on the massive number of threads in the general forum), I'm gong to go ahead and assume that sprint has, in fact, dropped the ball on this one.
Sent from my HTC One X
I would assume that once HTC finally developes the updates, Sprint test it and adds/deletes anything they want to before it is released to the end user.
Ok, yes, we agree that Sprint sucks on getting the upgrade out.
However, my question still stands. How Do Updates Work? I'm presuming that Google sends the upgrade to HTC, they make it work on their OS. Then they send it to Sprint, which makes their changes to work on their network and then they deliver the update.
Anyone got a clue?

Sprint is replacing my 3d with an lte

So like the title states sprint is sending me an evo lte to replace my again broken evo 3d. This final time my mic went out and ive had 4 replacements in the last 12 months. I got the 3d on the premier early launch and have had probably at least 6 replacements. Anyways this was the first time i was offered the lte every other time they offered me a supersonic or a shift? Im really excited to get my lte i would have bought it at launch if sprint didnt pull our premier upgrade status, but now ill have it monday or tuesday and i still have an upgrade may 1st! Anyways the point to my thread anyone got any good suggestions on good roms from xda or otherwise, i would like the cam to function well, anyway photosphere works on sense 4+ Im just too excited since sprint launched lte in half my small town im hoping i get it at my house!!
FYI i went to my local sprint authorized store
i have full insurance on my phone
Been a customer for 6 years
and ive had about 6 evo 3ds (the refurbs really are garbage)
sprint is sending me a brand new lte in box
Any other suggestions you guys have i would love to hear, love modding and changing things around, not afraid at all. Ive done a little looking on xda but id like to hear what some of you guys run! Thats it for now, been rambling for too long now

Thats what they did when I broke my og evo in october 2011, they said they ran out of og evos so I got the 3d for free Welcome to the hood :good:
Nice, my sister got a replacement og evo about 3ish months ago, they must have got some more in maybe? All i know is it cant come in soon enough, ive been wanting this phone for a while now haha
when u get it.. run dirty racun to gain s-off then flash meanbean rom :good:
ive already read thru all the steps for dirty racun and downloaded the ruu i needed for it, and im going to checkout meanbean now
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
Keep in mind that when you get your replacement Evo LTE that it very well may have the latest JB 4.1 with new hboot as well so gaining S-Off via the dirty racon method wouldn't work but you should be able to obtain root though. Just something to keep in mind. As for roms, so far I've tried CM10 and it was pretty good, fast and stable. I have yet to try MeanBean but after lurking Mikey's thread and all the feedback and comments, I'm confident enough with v2.31 that I'm going to try it tonight.
Edit: FYI, I only mention that the phone may come with the latest ruu/JB 4.1 because I got my evo lte at launch and my phone was stolen this past Thanksgiving. My replacement evo lte had the latest ruu with hboot 1.19 when the phone's original hboot was 1.12.
Edit #2: So, I stand corrected!!!! It looks like team unlimited does have an s-off exploit for hboot 2.09, just read the thread and was on the website, so my mistake!!!
