Anyone try this new root tool for HTC.? It's call HTC super tool. It's on rootzwiki.

It's posted on this site somewhere too. I haven't used it, but I sure will if the option for S-OFF becomes more than just a placeholder.

Have not tried it but looks interesting...
Does anyone know if this will "void your warranty" like the htc method does? Or does the bootloader still show locked when you re-lock it?

It appears that it utilizes the HTCDev method so I would say probably.

Has anyone tried to root their phone after installing this update? Is there an equivalent update for rooted phones?
I read in another thread that someone tried and revolutionary does NOT work (yet) with Hboot 1.50.

No it won't work yet.
Yes there are equivalent updates for rooted phones. Check the first couple pages in the dev section and you should find them.

They also said themselves not to take the update. At least that is what I remember seeing.
Still don't understand why ppl are using htcs unlock. Alpharevs way is easy, n doesn't void warranty. From what I've read its tough to install a recovery and basically screws you.

Well from the legal standing alpharevs does void warranty just harder to tell. Another reason to figure this out is soon all new evo 3ds sold will already have the hboot 1.50. Most be something otherwise it would be lame as hell to have htc unlock a bootloader that does nothing.

Htc's method needs to stop being compared to rev's method... Htc only unlocked it. Meaning that the devs will still need to come up with the method for the rest. (s-off and the rest) think of it like the old evo unlocked but still needed dev work for soff and recovery...

JuopunutBear and team have done it again. S-OFF for the EVO 4G LTE!
Root is required. Unlocked is NOT required... but supported! Support for Linux and Windows.

Cool.
Looks promising although since I've already unlocked via HTC dev what's the advantage of s off..as I understand we can already flash radios etc..also it requires root..how is that possible if u didn't unlock with HTC dev
I'm rooted but not unlocked with HTCdev. They are 2 different things.

why would i want to pay for insurance? my phone is covered under 1 year warranty. i change phones every year anyways. i never buy warranty for anything
So does this essentially unlock the bootloader and give s-off?
So can I run this with an unrooted phone? I was reading the pre requisite and said you needed to be rooted/temp, which doesn't that mean htcdev unlocked?
I want to avoid htcdev unlock...

Its basically what every has already done except your phone will say S-off instead of S-on....no additional features. U can do everything u were able to do before.

Cool. Once someone has a write up or script to relock, unroot, unlock again with s-off and reroot so i don't get that red text on boot let me know. That would be the only reason i care about this.
Hopefully the devs didn't waste a good exploit that could have been used on a phone that needed it.
I basically only care about rooting so I can access apps like Sixaxis Controller, WiFi Tether, and other, similar "root only" applications. I'm not really interested in putting new ROMs on the phone or anything, and I'd really like to keep my warranty. Is there any way to root the DNA without voiding my warranty by unlocking the bootloader?
Patience. It is being worked on. Believe me it will be posted and talked about here as soon as it is ready

Almost all of their phones can be unlocked via their website, except that it voids your warranty.

Actually, the DNA was recently removed. It'll probably be back though once HTC and VZW sort out the details.

Not that I know of. Sense jacks up the Bluetooth.
Sent from my HTC Droid DNA
I got a droid dna recently and I was thinking about rooting. The only thing that is holding me back is whether despite the lack of s-off, is it worth voiding warranty. Anyhow, I was wondering whether it is possible to bring the dna completely back to stock after rooting it just in case something goes wrong (Im planning on using the all in one tool kit for the root)
I believe it will still say relocked as opposed to locked.
And there's a toolkit for jcases method?

So basically if i were to send this thing in for warranty, there is a high probability they wont notice the "relock"? Hmmm i might root it then

They won't notice at all. Sent so many phones in relocked, unlocked, even one rooted. Counting my blessings though everyday.

They don't check. They make sure it doesn't have any extensive damage then completely reflash the phone.

Hansoons tool kit doesnt work unless you use jcase's method first which you cant undo..leaves dna showing unlocked forever is what i have read ..if not i would root tomorrow...just waiting for a little safer unlock or s-off..

The change isn't permanent as far as I know. You should be able to re-lock it with fastboot oem lock.
I keep getting this error code.
Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed
it sounds like HTC blocked the DNA unlocking for now
Any ideas?
the jcase exploit still requires htc-dev which is unavailable anymore.
Are you choosing "other devices" when going through the unlock process? If you choose DNA, it will not work.
The jcase exploit gets around the block. That's what the exploit is for...

so you are saying do the jcase exploit and then it will work? are you sure? because I have seen people do it using only htc-dev
the reason why i didn't want to try the exploit is because it looks a little risky.

You have to do jcases method before htc dev unlock. That's the only way it will work. Our device isn't supported through htc dev unlock, hence why it's saying that your MID is unsupported. Using jcases method we change our phones MID so that we can use htc's unlock method.

HTC dev unlock only worked before the phone was released. A day or 2 prior to release Verizon pulled the plug on it.
The jcase exploit is what allows us to unlock our phone.

Like others said Verizon pulled the DNA but they let people who had the phone before hand because most had s-off anyways.....the exploit spoofs your cid to trick HTC dev into letting.you unlock
