Sure, but no s-off
Hopefully the s-off will come. I went a long time on my Evo 3d without having the s-off.
I would rather root without HTC having anything to do with it, and keep my warranty. Plus from what I understand HTC DEV unlock doesn't allow for custom kernels to be flashed.
Hopefully there will be a Revolution way!

I have a very noob question that I was unable to find an answer to while searching the forums.
It seems that (understandably) the OneX development is much further along than the EVO LTE. My guess is that S-OFF will (hopefully) be achieved soon for that phone. My question is: how well will achieving S-OFF on the OneX translate to the EVO LTE considering the phones are, to my understanding, so much alike.
Will S-OFF on the OneX mean S-OFF for the EVO LTE shortly after?
Thank you ahead of time for answering my noob question.

maybe even a year. That't how long it took for evo 3d hboot 1.5
I think the HTC one x international ver has s-off but if the att one x gets s-off I think we will be right behind it assuming the flaw is in the chipset or something.

IM debating whether to use the one step method regaw_leinad created for us which uses HTCdev.com or wait for S-off... I'm curious to know whether or not it changes the HBOOT to begin with?

In the same boat. I'm dying to get rid of this bloatware and I have several apps that require superuser, but I don't want to hassle with un-rooting/re-rooting when an S-OFF method is released.
Though I must admit I'm still pretty new to all this. What does having S-OFF give us the ability to do?

Can't recall the specific thread, but do some searching. People are able to do everything without s-off. We can flash ROMs, recoverys, even kernels. There's no real reason to get s-off because of this

This is the thread you were thinking of. It explains why we don't really need x-off with this phone.
The only reason for S-off is if you don't want to void warranty then? It also looks like there will be a big hassle to get updates pushed to the device. I hope there is a leak of the Eng bootloader.

Even s off voids your warranty just no way to prove it per say and it isn't a hassle anymore as radios can be changed now...n same w splash screen's

Right now everything can be done with S-ON EXCEPT flashing radios. Unlike older phones this one also lets you flash kernels with S-ON. I currently have just rooted the phone over stock so when a method is available I will be able to revert back to stock untampered bootloader in 15 minutes with an RUU wipe then completely S-OFF the phone.

Even if you run the ruu, the bootloader still will have the watermark "relocked" and the splash still says that other crap.

Why are people waiting for s_off. Seems to me unlocked bootloader with s_on is perfect for the vast majority of root users. I know the first thing I did when I got the phone is head on over to HTC Dev. I really couldn't care less if s_off is never achieved.
I guess keep waiting but waiting for what I don't know

My sentiments exactly! You wanna wait for S-off go ahead you could be waiting for over a year like I did with my 3D and by then the new EVO will be released.

If you use HTC Dev, yes you are right but he's talking about just rooting without unlocking the bootloader in which case the RUU will remove the "tampered" message.

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?

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.
Hi guys,
Just to make sure, I have searched and googled but can't see the trees through the woods anymore... :screwy:
I like my 3d capabilities, I like sense 3.6 but I just want more control over my EVO and be able to flash some of the great stuff available here to improve my phone.
Do I need s off or unlocked bootloader? I have hboot 1680007 or similar, ics ..
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda app-developers app
U need unlock to flash other roms, gain root, etc
S-off is needed for kernels with aroma and non sense (aosp, aokp, miui, etc) roms, at least to flash them that easy as sense roms, because u would have to flash the kernel with adb without s-off...
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda app-developers app
Ok, so unlock will do fine for what I want.. with my hboot version, which is the easiest way to go and unlock?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda app-developers app
If its enough for u to flash sense roms unlocking should do fine for you
Htcdev is one possibility to unlock, i dont know if there is another way for ur hboot, never saw that one
You have the official 4.0 update, or?
I think in that case Htcdev is the only way...
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda app-developers app
Yes, I have the latest update, either downgrade hboot or htcdev it is, I guess ... Thnx ! :thumbup:

Thanks for the reference but the model in his signature is a GSM version so I think he would do better following one of the guides in the stickies of the GSM development forum.

oops my bad sorry gotta bad hangover
This is the guide you need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466
I must ask, are you sure your hboot isn't 1.49 or 1.53? Those are the only two hboot versions I ever heard on gsm.
Anyway follow the unlock method through HTC dev. However the links for control bear on the guide are dead. Just go to unlimited.io website and get the control bear from the shooteru section based on os, hboot, and computer your using.
Greetings all
When the LTE came out, root was achieved the following day, how long do you all think before we have root for the new ONE on the hoorizon, same thing for a ROM, how long will ut take before we see the first ROM?

Yep S-off is the real question. I would bet by the time it reaches the US MoDaCo or another dev would have S-off already.

It is also only rooted by doing HTC Dev Unlock, there still is no root without doing the dev unlock and no S-OFF. Both of which I would prefer over dev unlocking. If I could get root without dev unlocking that would tide me over for quite awhile as they figure out S-OFF so I could at least get some apps transferred with data, greenfiy to save battery, ad blocker, and wifi tether.

Judging from Jcase's tweet I'm presuming he gained root without HTC Dev Unlock.

All of which you can do with HTC Dev unlock.
I prefer to not deal with the HTC Dev Unlock based on the added steps/difficulties that people have to deal with on our EVO LTEs. I also don't like registering my device that it is unlocked with the manufacturer, it is none of their business if I do it and shouldn't effect my warranty for hardware issues.

Depends on the demand. Short of being able to flash radios/better hide the fact that we've tampered with the device, there isn't anything we're not able to flash with the unlock method available through HTCDev website.

Also as long as it's possible to revert to totally stock and flash kernels the demand will be pretty low. Usually only people who want to go back to an older firmware will want s off

I believe soon
A method for S-off on the HTC One X (Evita) took nearly a year.
As others have said, for the average XDA member S-off isn't really needed since we can do everything except change CID and downgrade HBoot.
