There is a video that pops up when Google-ing Rezound Root.... the video shows S-OFF.... Does anyone know anything about this?
A lot of people know a lot about it. But we still don't have S-Off for non-dev phones.

Hiya,
I know you've heard it before, and i know the answer is to read all of the threads, but i'm getting more and more confused, and don't want to screw up my phone!
I'm having trouble with Orange and text messages. I have tried to read around for the solution, but cannot find the answer in a simple thread.
I believe I have a G4 device, as IPL/SPL are both 2.21.0001. Thats about as far as i've got.
I don't from here know what to do, even after a few days of reading.
Do i need to CID unlock, or can i get around this? Where can i find a rom that will give me all the functionality I have at the moment, but also be compatible with my 3G simcard? Alternatively, can anyone reccomend someone to speak to, as I'm really struggling.i
Like i say, i know its all been asked before, but its such a minefield and I don't want to get it wrong, so if someone could donate the time to give me a real step by step idiots guide, i would really appreciate it.
THanks in advance.
I was browsing the web today and I found this link talking about s-off on the Amaze 4g and other HTC devices, but because I'm a new member I can't post it but it was on redmondpie.com and then type s-off amaze in the search bar.
I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this info and maybe tried it cuz I know everyone's trying to gain s-off so that more ROMs can start being developed for this phone,
There is no S-Off. RedmondPie talks about HTCDev's website and they talk about a program made by an XDA member. Amaze can't achieve S-Off right now.
Out of curiosity, what kinds of things leads to s-off? The release of certain files or stuff like finding a needle in a haystack like iphones jailbreaks
Ok thanks, I was just wondering and thought it might help
I bought a photon last week thats on Ntelos Frawg. so theres that... it works great, but its also rooted. i didnt do it, and dont know anything about rooting. ive been trying to look into it but its just not my thing. dont get it. sorry for being so nooby, but i didnt ask for it lol. anyway, how can i see whats already been done to it, and how can i know what could b done to it? the guy who sold it to me can do stuff to it. but i gotta know what i want him to do. please! any help will be appreciated.
Theres a free app in the market called "root checker" or something along those lines, its an easy way to check if you have root. You can tell if the bootloader is unlocked by looking at the top left corner of your screen when it is first booting, if it says "unlocked" then your bootloader is unlocked. It will show it while at the Moto dual core screen. I'd personally read up on rooting, unlocking, and all that goodstuff so you know what you have/can do. But basically root allows you to install apps that unleash androids true potential that you cant use without having root access, like free wifi tether, etc. Unlocking your bootloader allows you to install a new recovery(ClockworkMod usually) which then allows you to flash new ROMS and Kernels. I wont go into much depth there but it basically allows you to customize your phone how YOU want it to be, via Roms, Kernels, Themes, and all that. Currently with our Photon though you will lose Sprint 4g(Wimax) by unlocking the bootloader so if its important to you than you may not want to unlock the bootloader. Theres plenty of threads on XDA and other sites too that have loads on info on CWM, ROMS, Root, and everything. QBKing77 has a bunch of SUPER great Youtube videos for us Photon owners(and other phones) so be sure to look for those! If you have any more questions or anything feel free to PM me or post on the forums!

@shabby i actually have your kernel and im totally satisfied, the only thing i really want right now is the slide to wake feature. Does it support it? And if not, im having a hard time finding one that does without losing stuff i do need. I guess it might only be for the evo right now?
Well i think anyway lol.

Cant speak for him, but im pretty sure whoever made the slide to wake feature hasnt released the source code yet, and without that the devs cant really do much but wait. Here is a link to the thread where people were discussing it for the Photon, im sure if/when we get it that this thread will be updated or a comment posted.
I know there probably are like 50 other threads of people asking the same thing, I've looked through a LOT of them, none of them actually tell me anything useful I want to hear. So, as the Title says, I'd love to know if there is actually any type of update, or way to update the phone to ICS or JB... A lot of people keep saying no, but some others are certain there is a way, I've found a couple of root options, but they all seem shady. If anyone knows how to work out this phone, to get a higher version of Android, I'd appreciate it, if the need to root happens, then some advice about it would be appreciated...

Thank you
I have the same phone and been looking for a ICS rom for it, no luck so far. I did root mine and mod the original rom just fine. Over all it didn't add anything to it but I wanted to use the titanim backup app and others who need root. I know straighttalk phones are always a little behind others sold by att and bigger companies, so maybe someone will come up with a rom soon. May check cyogenMod see if they support it.

Yeah I've seen that not everyone put time into Straighttalk phones, and so far there is still nothing. I won't lose hope though!
I don't think you are in the right thread:

Does anyone even know if this is possible?
I've searched all over the place and tried a few different "one-clicks" etc etc
It just seems like this phone is un-rootable which I find really hard to believe.
Does anyone have any suggestions at this point or know anymore information?
any luck?
