All Rezound Devs-
I have a spare rezound for 5 days that in the end must be bricked prior to going back to warranty center.
I am offering to beta/experiment for you this weekend.
I can have a linux setup if need be.
Id rather let the community use me to test things rather than a dev kill their device and slow down dev progress.
If you dont brick this phone I will LOL
Please feel free to PM me and we can set up a time, via gtalk/irc etc

If you really need to brick and a dev does not come to you. Pull the battery and usb during an hboot flash or s-on while on an eng/patched hboot.
theres a pretty simple way to brick your phone.
flash a bad radio.
pull batt during radio install.
anything radio lol.

On a side note on warranty replacement number 2 the search key doesn't light up much, but I can tell by looking last person who had this was in Cambridge Massachusetts, further inspection into epst shows they made 91hrs of calls on it, phone was refurbished on 4/17/2012 too lol

Woot! Good news for us, I hope.
Also, pop a thanks on XHaus's post Here. I'm just spreading the news!
Edit: Figured out how to embed.
Here's some more info from the guy who posted the YT video:
ieftm said:
Yes, it's being developed for shooter/pyramid, perhaps more.
Yes, across a number of HBOOTs.
No, we are not trying to trump anyone.
No, it's not done.
Yes, it will be soon and available for general consumption.

Shooter = Evo 3D for those of us who don't pay attention. So that's confirmation that we will be getting it.
As for the video itself, it apparently wasn't supposed to be set to be viewed publicly.
ieftm said:
It was meant to be uploaded. Just not stuck on 'public'. Hence "leak", as in, prematurely outed.
And yes, I uploaded it. No doubt about that. So while unfortunate that it got out before we were ready to do so, meh. it happened. I'm already over it.

Also, here's a LINK to the download for the boot animation in the video, in case you're a portal fan. (It's just the boot ANIMATION.)
As for all the whining in the thread: These guys are volunteers, they do their work for free. They aren't done yet, and we weren't even supposed to know about it for a while. Don't get your panties in a twist just cause they have it and you don't. If you're going to return your phone cause you can't has S-Off, go ahead. We don't mind. Really.
We'll know when it's finished and available. Word spreads here like a wildfire, so just wait... Patience is a virtue! And stuff. Give em a high five and a hug for all their hard work.
If you feel like throwing them a monetary bone, HERE is a link to their web page. The donate link is half way down on the right side.
Let's hope this is true

Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.
If you should require support, please feel free to contact us via the support section of our website, http://www.htc.com

That'a actually another reason why I don't want to rush to obtain s-off because even if we get it we may lose it with the OTA. Would be our luck. We know that HTC read these so what's to stop them from being like "Huh. This Binary100100 bastard figured out how to get around s-on. Let's patch that with ICS! That'll show them!"
you have a point.. but what about if your wrong? i hope your right though
forgive my ignorance, But has any phone ever been granted S-off through HTC? If so...I hate them for not giving us S-off

No, and most likely never will because it invalidates the very reason S-on is enabled. We've (the community) always developed a way to bypass the signature as far back as I can remember, but they've figured out a way to make it more difficult to accomplish with the Amaze.
I think if we make enough noise, perhaps they'll create a tool that allows overwriting the signature. My optimism always gets the best of me!

I believe its the lack of developers for the amaze, the rezound is newer than our phone and I believe they have achieved S-off, It's hard to say because that phone is a CDMA phone, but never the less if they have figured out a way to make it more difficult it should be for all the new HTC phones, which doesn't seem to be the case.

The rezound is S-on as well. It seems to me like every highend HTC device launched in the last 3-4 months have run into a brick wall in regards to s-off.

That's what you should have done in the first place. You might be better off trying to get a warranty replacement. If the phone is bricked, they won't be able to tell if you tried to do something to it anyway. Just an idea. Hope you learned your lesson. Should have been a given.

About a half hour of reading in the first place would have saved you the 600+ dollar paperweight you just created. In a half hour, you could effectively figure out that n7000 ROMs are a big no-no for the i717, learned how to root your i717, learn how to flash CWM on your i717, and flash an i717 ROM to your i717.
Not to condone screwing over AT&T, but I would suggest you do the following, if you by chance have the monthly insurance on your phone: report it lost or stolen, pay the $200 deductible to order a new one, then take your old one which is now completely useless, and smash it with a hammer, run it over with your car, burn it, spray paint it, burn it again, smash it some more, wrap a strip of firecrackers around it and light it off, use it for target practice for the nearest firearm or paintball gun, then put it in a display case to keep in a prominent location in your home or office as a reminder of what a lack of reading can do to your device. Then, while you are waiting patiently for your new i717 to arrive in the mail, take the time to READ everything you can about your specific phone so you know every in and out of it before it is in your hands.
All joking aside, the best you can probably do is report it lost or stolen, order a new one, and then see if somebody needs it to try out JTAG repairs for the Note. I'm not sure if JTAG has been accomplished on the i717 yet, but that's probably the most use your phone will ever provide again.

If your phone just sits there and does absolutely nothing, nothing at all, like a corpse, then that and ONLY that is a brick.

Does anyone have any experience with jtag and unbricking? I ask because after bricking two phones, a third probably won't go over so well with the warranty dept. I'm willing to pick up a jtag jig so that I can keep developing but I'd like to pick the brain of someone with experience in this area before I do so. Possibly someone with the hardware already whose willing to soft brick and attempt a recovery. I know its a lot to ask but if we have
a definite way to unbrick we can really go at it. Plus I'd be willing to use the jig I pick up to attempt unbricking for others if they soft brick while devving.

did you try to get you rezound into "download" mode? i know there was another member that could unbrick it if you could get into that mode. when i bricked i couldnt get it to work. but maybe your brick was a different type then mine

qhusb_dload? I tried by doing the wire trick (like for s-off). I figured if I could get that I'd be able to recover but it wasn't working for me. Is there another way?
Right now I get no indication that the phone has any signs of life, no power on at all and not even a charge led. I have another one on its way but I really don't want to try for three strikes. I'm thinking I'm going to stay s-on for devving. It should be harder to brick then.

This is the exact reason I never s-off'd. I don't need the smallest mistake to cost me a phone. With all of the aroma installers, it doesn't really seem necessary.

Does anyone have any experience with jtag and unbricking?

I've done similar stuff with routers.. not phones, but I imagine it's the same idea.

yep thats the one. if you could get it into download mode then you can flash a stock recovery and stock hboot back on. but like you said, there was no life at all. it sounds like you did what i did. :/
i dont think you need to worry about how many you are RMA'ing. im on my 3rd now. 2 HW failure and this one has a bad screen.

Wasn't the whole purpose of the "wire trick" that we used for S-OFF for forcing the phone into download mode?
**edit**
oops didn't read the whole discussion. My bad

It would still be nice to have a solid way of unbricking. If I keep sending them back with the same exact problem I feel they would get suspicious eventually. Plus the new one I just got is pretty flawless so far, no dead pixels or anything so I'd like to keep it.
I have a new CM build sitting here right now that I'm terrified to try. Haha. So if you're uh sending the one with the bad screen back and want to try a couple things out first...
Yea that would be sick if we could get this to work. Probably, to find a JTAG/Uart port, we would have to take the board out of the device. I don't really wanna do it to mine since I wouldn't know how to put it back together

If you go S-On it should fix the bricking. Atleast that's what JonMan said lol

I concluded that also, since whatever partition is getting corrupted won't be able to be written to. But I haven't had the guts to try it again yet.
How about it with your new one and let me know. Haha. I'm already two bricks in.

Lol I haven't gotten my new one yet went to VZ yesterday and they said they only had new ones in stock and no warranty replacements. They offered me a Razr. Why couldn't I just get a new one? I dunno... Dumbass Verizon lol
Gonna try HTC Repair Department today and see if I can get one from them. If not I'll just keep trying at VZ

do you think it has something to do with the kernel that is causing the bricks?
One thing I'm worried about is if devs stay s-on to prevent bricking then how would they know if their stuff would brick other people's phones or not?

Just call *611 and keep hitting 0 until you get someone. They'll transfer you to the tech support people and they'll hook you up.
well the droid DNA and the One S and the One XL just got s-off!! also i was just on twitter and jcase said that it will work on the evo 4g LTE also it it looks mad easy! he said if we want it they will support it :good: no sdcard needed either! check it out its called #facepalm S-OFF! for all modern HTC phones
this is what jcase said he needs...-jcase- "I need an update.zip, link to a supercid procedure, and a s-on user with supercid and root".. i have no clue what that is but im sure someone here can help get what he needs to get this goin
Why the hell do you want to waste an exploit on this device if we already have one? It's not a problem also we dont have a superCID procedure. You're sitting here wanting S-off on a device that's already been hacked not only that, you have no idea what most of this **** even is. How can you expect to be of any use when debugging something when you don't know what SuperCID is. This is a useless thread and completely unecessary. We already have an s-off exploit, lets not waste it until a future update we can't get past?

lol.. bad day guy... are u mad guy?? dont throw your pocket protector me!!
On second thought, you're not worth this. Hope you enjoy a wasted exploit.
I miss the gold card days
The exploit we have now is "mad easy"..guess I don't see why we'd need another.

I just tried this one. It seems to work, although i was s-off by LP. I am still s-off. I just run it over the top right?

It's not a matter of him being mad, it's a matter of you starting an unwarranted thread about an exploit that isn't necessary for our device.
While jcase's method could possibly be adapted to our device, it would be unnecessary for jcase to dedicate time to a device with an existing, and fairly simple s-off method, when he could be dedicating time to devices that have nothing currently.
Feel free to ask if I'm mad, because I'm not. The only people that should be mad, were the ones that ever followed your advice, now that it is apparent that you don't understand the device you hold in your hand.

So, I'm guessing this superCID is some sort of souped up caller ID?

It's refreshing to see that you just prove my perception of you as an individual with your quick resort to the standard Internet tough guy and 'you wouldn't say that in real life' antics. Be certain, that I would, as I am no different regardless of my settings.
You made a senseless thread, because you wanted thanks or something. Then when it's brought to attention, you get all gangster as though anyone cares.
Your profile says that android saves and keeps you out of trouble... How about just growing up, taking responsibility for actions, and being an adult. Your ghetto, tough guy act makes you seem very unintelligent and uneducated.
I'll be exiting this thread now, as it has nothing more to offer besides aggravation due to your feeble minded ways.
