Could somebody provide thread paths for instructions on s-off/root for HTC rezound. I get mine this week. hope it lives up to the hype. Thanks!
Did you even attempt to look at the Dev section where there is a pinned thread? Or maybe use the search function?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?f=1389
No offense but it's obvious you didn't even try to find what you're looking for.
s-off/root help
I am fairly new here, but did look thru Q&A and Dev section. I probably should have asked for recommendations on best process for s-off/root. I did see a toolkit, but also wondered if there were more highly recommended or other options. Thanks,

I don't think you even looked because I believe the root thread is the fourth pinned thread in the Dev section.
I'm not usually one to jump on people about not searching and whatnot, but wow.
There is no guide for S-Off, it's not available yet.
There is a rooting guide stickied at the top of the Dev forum.

Good god. Search please.
To get S-OFF, simply remove your phone from the box, charge the battery completely, turn it on and then fill the sink with water. When full, place the phone in the sink for no less than 2 hours. Then you'll definitely have S-OFF.

You forgot to add the part where you pour oil on top of the water and light it on fire, that way when you pull the phone out it gets dried

Didn't even have to do that. Just go to the Dev section and open eyes and look.
What I'm thinking is that it was harder to find the Rezound Q/A section on XDA than it would be to find the root/unlock thread in the Dev forum.

What's the gain in being a **** to the guy? He asked about s-off, yes he could have searched, but the question is only half answered. We don't have s-off as a community yet. Only unlocked and s-on, which is a sticky in the dev section.

So I take it that there was never a previous s-off version of a rezound available. Like how over on the evo-3d forums they were able to figure out how to downgrade their hboot versions to obtain s-off?

Nope, obviously HTC would cover up any exploits previous to this phone.

Actually being a **** is exactly what he did to start this off. He couldn't even be bothered to peel open his eyes to see the stickied thread in the Dev section. You know, then one that actually says that it is currently S-On in the title of the thread...
Devs and others put a lot of hard work into putting that info together for us, the least we could do is make an attempt and read at least the first page of the forums.
His answers can still be found if he does his part.
This is probably common knowledge, but since the only place I found it in our forum was buried deep in a 1500+ reply thread I thought I'd make a new thread for it.
If you don't know, super CID is more or less like root for hboot/fastboot. Why do we care? It means we can install any ROM we want if the propaganda is to believed.
More importantly, it means we don't have to lock our bootloaders before we RUU if we don't want to.
Here are the simple steps to get super CID.
S-OFF is required.
1. fastboot oem readcid
2. write down your existing cid.
3. fastboot oem writecid 11111111
4. fastboot owm readcid
5. verify it has changed. It should list your old CID as your backup CID.
I tested this by flashing the 2.x RUU, unlocking the bootloader via HTCDev, and then flashing the RUU again immediately after I got unlocked.
--As is noted by other people. This isn't actually useful for us. But yay, now you know and don't have to spend 5 hours researching like I did.
i just did this earlier today

i don't see why anyone has unlocked... there's absolutely NO need with S-off
what do you mean by flash any rom? like could we take a rom for diff phone and install or what

The point of supercid was more or less for phones with oversea counterparts
Like the inspire HD and desire HD
Same phone for the most part just branded different, supercid would allow you to flash an inspire Rom to the desire

where did you get this information the cid is the carrier id,and simply tells the phone what factory RUUs its allowed to install. it has absolutely nothing to do with locking bootloaders. once you are s-offed,if you choose to unlock,you can run an ruu without relocking,period. its got nothing to do with superCID.
superCID is cool for phones like the sensation,desire HD,and other world phones becasue it lets us run other carriers branded,or unbranded software. ive been running asian/european ICS on my sensation for weeks now
while i did change the CID of my rezound for S&Gs,it is at this point,completely pointless,as all we have access to are vzw RUUs do not be mistaken that this lets you flash other phones roms. that would be an extremely bad idea
while i appreciate your bringing forth this information,id prolly advize that most folks do not do this. at this point there are no benefits,and its one more thing you will have to remember to return to stock if you ever need to send the phone in for warranty.
my 2 cents.
edit: yall beat me by minutes

its a good substitue for the eng hboot for new rooters,as it allows fastboot boot and fastboot flash,and even allows you to change cid and the secureflag. in short its got all the commands that most folks will ever need
it also is a lil less dangerous than flashing a new(potentially corrupt and unchecked by a "whats an md5sum??" new rooter) bootloader. remember without a bootloader your phone is useless. i personally see nothing wrong with unlocking rather than flashing an eng or patched hboot.
i agree theres no need to unlock,but theres othing wrong with it,either.

Seriously. Stop posting this pointless crap. Feel free to make a rom or kernel or something and post it but photos and a single useless fastboot command are useless and isn't development.

Not common knowledge. Also, not in our forums till now. Just because YOU have a lot of experience with HTC phones doesn't mean everyone else does.
Everything that I have posted has been useful to someone. Just because we have S-OFF does not remotely mean that we are at the end of the line for development.
Perhaps you would like to make a post with your common knowledge about how to compile AOSP from scratch for our phone. Or how to flash a new hboot from download mode or JTAG/SPI for those who bork their hboot?

Also, since it is common knowledge, can you tell me where the JTAG ports are in the pictures I posted. Or more specifically, the pinouts?

1. Where did a comment about AOSP come from? A rom could have meant a sense rom.
2. You didn't figure out how to flash hboot via download mode/ JTAG or SPI. All you did was post pictures of the inside. You didn't label a single port or anything.
Just drop it. Yes cid is pointless as soff is unlocked. and rooted bootloader? Lol. But still just say something and drop it. No need to rub it in.

I think what con was getting at is you giving information like this, that doesn't do anyone any good concerning this phone is pointless to post in the development section. Post it all you want in general.
I think putting long tube headers on a muscle car is useful information, but since it doesn't apply to this phone I am not going to make a thread about it in the development section.

I just didn't know that at the time I posted this thread. As far as I could tell it was useful information since there are still people locking and unlocking their bootloaders. Other phones have super cid info posted in their dev sections, how was I supposed to know it "useless".
It really is too bad that it has been deemed useless though. It already has been useful to me.

I wonder if the root process will be as simple as the HTC One and One X?
I would think it would be similar, since the phones are so similar.
But what do I know. I'm not even close to being a dev.
dont mean to kill the mood, but this is the dev section guys. lets move the discussion to the general section. lets not give our new moderator a tough time before the phone even launches

I had read the One X had a locked bootloader... is it already cracked open?
I plan on getting this Evo, so hopefully it isn't a couple months before s-off and root is attained again. I would rather not have hindered development this time around.

When did you get your evo. it had root before day 1. A couple of times it got lost, but only to people on new devices and people who couldn't wait for the devs to get a hold of the new Stock ROMs.

Is there any doubt this is the next benchmark phone. The OGEvo is still in my opinion the only SuperPhone. A first of many standards, and the only phone i know you can plug directly into the TV for watching Vids.
I have lived off contract for the last 4 years. Yes i finally used my Upgrade for this phone.
Who is the forum mod anyways?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
I would imagine root would be very similar to one x international. Use HTC unlock, fastboot recovery, flash superuser.
I am sure other ways will come as well, but I suspect that will be the first

of course the best way to not brick is to do your reading, but if you had the epic touch you would know all the reading in the world couldnt save you...no brick warnings in the OP aside, people were bricking just by factory resetting YUCK!!
glad i got the htc evo lte and glad that its harder to bricl, just wish the community here was a little bit more warm ya kno
Haha its probably the side of bed they woke up on. Believe me, this is a great community filled with informative and and helpful individuals. But when you begin to talk about a phone that isn't the LTE (specifically samsung)
People become a bit irritated. Aha or so it seems.. just read a bit cz samsung and HTC are different regarding flashing and techniques on unlocking. Goodluck and enjoy

That whole recovery thing on the epic is the reason I despise the Samsung phones and the New kernal and modems every week with no change at all. There's only a few ways for ur phone to get bricked here. Experimental roms/mods (unlikely) or a simple bad flash (not likely either as recovery just says failed and u can flash something else)

I also had my elte rooted and rom'ed within the hour I was looking for some general tips, tricks, best behavior and routines when dealing with the elte to avoid issues...knowing only way to brick is purely poor judgment or possibly a bad download is comforting.
Alllllllll this thread was for was to collect data to compare to other devices which have had issues bricking or getting ruined by easily doing something small or specific
