I recently got a new HTC Amaze 4G for T-Mobile that has SHIP S-OFF
What can one do with SHIP S-OFF on the HTC Amaze 4G?
Should one sell it to someone that could put it to good use for the community?
i THINK (im no expert here so im only guessing)
you need to
1 not update it yet.
2 read on the development forums and find the S off forum and check your versions of your phone to the ones that have been grabbed and if its a different version
3 create need to create dumps the entire phone. but im not sure.. really check the soff thread under development
this whole s off thing s on thing confuses me still since im coming off an N1 but i think i understand it.
lucky bastard! Kidding lol

Not update it to what? ICS when it is released?
I think he meant don't do an htc firmware update
Yeah cause they've been having a hard time getting S-Off with this phone which is really holding back ROM development. It's the reason they cant slap a ICS ROM on there.
Xboarder already have a s-off device just like you did, it would be nice if you sale it to another high developer like faux123 he works with kernels he might figure out how the drivers works with a s-off amaze or to a coder, so these people can figure out all the drivers and how to get ours s-off

That's not the problem at all. The reason why ICS roms aren't going so well is because HTC hasn't released the drivers/code for WiFi, BT, etc, so these aren't working in ICS rom ports. S-ON is not much more than a minor annoyance and can be worked around. Once an ICS build has been leaked by HTC, ICS development should pick up.

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.

I am pretty sure we can flash radios through custom recovery. Htcdev unlocks the entire phone. The only downfall is the watermarked bootloader.

Do you mean will it always have a watermark, as of now yes. When you relock the bootloader it shows relocked at the top. The awesome devs here might be able to fix that in the future. This will void parts of your HTC warranty but who uses ever uses that.

You can not... you need to wait for a zip or RUU to be able to load over a custom rom. If it is true that ICS has been released officially you can convert back to stock easy if you are S-Off and then pull down the update.

The Rezound's update was definitely supposed to drop with the DROID Razr, and that update has come out. So I though, since it was supposed to be released simultaneously, it was out. Sorry guys, it'll be out very soon though, probably within the next week or so

So you will just not root your phone till you get s-off? Bc when the phone first came out all there was, was HTC dev unlock. Sitting with stock Rom is no fun...
And if you are not rooted or rooted it maybe a few version of android before soff comes out (if it does) which will keep you on old software and really not take advantage of new goodies

I get what you're saying. But my preference is to have S-OFF. I don't have to update right now. I'm sitting on 1.15, and just waiting. Granted, there are features that I'm looking for from Jelly Bean that I want to have, which is why I want to root my phone. But, if Jelly Bean comes before we get an S-OFF method, then I may just update and let it go to whatever is there. I'd prefer to have S-OFF though. That's how I've gone with my EVO 3D, so I'm accustomed to that method.
I understand, it is "easier" but there are a lot of people on xda now thinking it us the end if the world ... All I want people to understand is that there are work arounds. To each their own
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I can understand people not wanting to update due to S-on. I mean, OTA update or running RUU to update firmware will also update hboot, which someone who's been hanging in there praying 1.15 is almost cracked,..well the last thing they're gonna wanna do is update hboot.
Hell, accepting S-on and the workarounds may be the only thing to do. With the amount of hboot updates HTC is releasing, I have to imagine anyone working on S-off has probably already just thrown up their hands.
I'm S-off, but still haven't updated radio or firmware due to the fact that at this point, downgrading bricks.

The fact that HTC has updated the HBoot 3 times since the release of the phone doesn't make things difficult. If anything, it would indicate that HTC is finding holes in their HBoot, and just patching them as they update the software. There are a lot of people sitting on 1.15 right now waiting for something to happen. I'm sure there's someone working on cracking it, it's just a matter of time, and how many people are possibly working on it. I'd like to think that there is someone working on it, but it's still not being put out there that it actually is by anyone. That's what people are all up in arms about.
Not necessarily, they may be adding extra support for in-house development, adding support for extra hardware, or they could be just cleaning up the code from the last update
About damn time.

And right as it was figured out how to use 1.15 kernels on 2.04

Haha I was coming here to post it. HTC just tweeted me saying it was released.

What does this mean for the DNA scene? Does it increase our chances at finding a post-OTA unlock method, or is it more useful for ROM/custom feature development purposes?

From what I gather it's possible, though not likely there is an exploit for post OTA unlock in the source. It will help development in that 2.04 ROMS such as Viper1.2 will soon have compatible custom kernels whenever the developers of their respective kernels update them.
I suppose there can be other possible benefits but I have not heard anyone mention them.
Kernel source won't help bootloader unlock.

Ah, My mistake, thought I remember someone saying it was possible there was something helpful in there.

For some reason one guy essentially spammed every thread he could find saying that somehow kernel source=bootloader unlock, but that is completely untrue.

Dang. I was hoping this would be true.
My wife's dna took a swim. Had to cash out her another. (crossed fingers for non ota) but I lost.
She wanted dna even after I warned her it was probably unrootable. She said Dna. Well a few days later she is yelling @ me to fix this garbage lol.
Crud. Looks like jtag. Is in her future

Garbage I would probably love my DNA even stock. I would just have an itch to tinker with it because that's who I am... but if she isn't the one tinkering, I don't see what her problem is

Not exactly true. May help. Most likely though, it will not.

I guess she is used to stellar battery life, not having all the bloat, being over clocked and fast as all get out on Viper rom.
The area she works gets better signal with old radio's while I get better with new radio's??
No wife tether
Missing a few root only apps, missing data since she can't restore.
Look don't take offense. This phone is great, but when you get used to certain things is hard to go back.
That's all

lol No offense at all. Just most women don't desire their phones to be tinkered with, at least from what I've seen. I had to spend a long minute convincing my girlfriend to tinker with hers

Unfortunately mine uses her phone, a One X+, for work [and it was given to her by her company] so unless it becomes unusable, I don't get to play with it

Wait a minute, your wife wants you to root her DNA so you can put a "wife tether" on it?
that might be TMI
