I pulled the rom.zip from the new OTA(2.17.605.2) RUU that is needed for the root/ S-OFF exploit(AS OF 12/5/12 RELEASED).
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Download this - MD5 = 55023CC10B59FDEC0AAA6695C4CF83FB
2) rename to PJ53IMG.zip (make sure it's not named PJ53IMG.zip.zip...)
3) put the PJ53IMG.zip on the root of your SD-Card. (not in any folders)
4) reboot to bootloader
5) let the phone do its magic
6) enjoy Sense 4.1
7) smile.

I'm confused. Those of us that are already unlocked via htc-dev, will we need to do this to get s-off? I am running viperLTE.

if you are htc dev unlock and doing this, u need to lock ur bootloader to install it, then unlock again after, make sure u have ur unlock_token
Sorry but it makes no sense to me that people are recommending the need to relock and then install this update. It can already be installed by those that are unlocked by downloading the version that nitsuj17 posted in the dev forums. This gives you all of the "benefits" of the update without having to relock. Plus, nitsuj17 is already working on a new version of Viper with the latest update.
Is the idea to get the new bootloader? To what advantage would that be (obviously it is to people that are not unlocked)?

idk who you mean by people? It's me suggesting what to do to be prepared for the S-OFF tool. This goes for everyone, stock and rooted.
you need to run the RUU/or accept it as OTA on your phone if you want S-OFF.
not just running a ROM.
also it's in the very first line of the OP.. "I pulled the rom.zip from the new OTA(2.17.605.2) RUU that is needed for the root/ S-OFF exploit"

Ok, so I need to:
1. Re-lock the bootloader
2. Download the RUU
3. Follow the 7 steps at the beginning of this thread
4. Then I can unlock the bootloader again.
At this point I'll be ready for S-Off... correct?
The part I wasn't sure about was whether I had to re-lock first.
Thanks Andybones...

it took me a lil bit to remember that when htcdev unlock u need to lock to be able to run ruu it will say unzipping, and installing on the system part dont freak out just let it run, i almost pulled batt, and DO NOT do that while doing and RUU thats pretty much certain brick of phone eek!

As for what I meant by people is that there are several here who have suggested it not just you.

I wonder if it's just me who is anxious to gain S-OFF under the new OTA update. I suspect I know the answer.

need you ask!!!!!!!
haha this is why I LOVE this community!
you guys are awesome.
in the rezound forums, once I tested s-off (on my only personal device mind you, having to use a paper clip....) and once I got it, they were also making the tool for about 6 other phones, so before it got released ALL phones had to be tested, so it took a bit longer for it to come, and when I made like the splash thread, some people spammed me saying how I'm rubbing it in their faces, and that's completely not true. I mean, I must have rebooted my phone over 100 times with that paper clip, I also figured out for the team that the SD-card was the reason, so that saved a lot of time and hassle for them.
long story short, I sure as hell don't regret selling that brick of **** and buying this awesome phone with awesome people to share it with!
Since we are only waiting for a tool for just our phone (I think anyway) it shouldn't take nearly as long as that wait IMO, but again I don't know. But it is pretty cool that the exploit was found in a new update, usually they break the exploits not open them up lol.
big props to superdave for finding that otherwise this wouldn't of happened I don't think, or certainly not this fast anyway.
Lol! It's a great community of people here and just goes to show that when you buy an Android device, you don't just get an awesome device. You get an awesome community of helpful and fun people to share yout experiences with!

Congrats and mad props to Agrabren and Team WIN for punching a hole through HTCs software and getting root! Agraben now has a thread for it so make sure you thank them for all of their hard work: [GUIDE] Fre3vo / Fre3dom Official Thread
The thread got way off track for awhile there but maybe now we can keep it close to being on topic. As long as it is somewhat related to the topic you won't hear me complain, however, this is Not the place to ask about Netflix, why your Battery doesn't last all week or how you can get out of paying a dollar a day for wireless tethering. For those of you just getting your phones, if you find that your bootloader is unlocked (read: S-OFF) please send me a PM. Also, if you're still unsure about the differences between S-OFF, and Root, and what it all means; you can check out the Android Dictionary or feel free to ask in the Q&A section. I know the dictionary there is somewhat lacking but it's still pretty good.
Now that root has been obtained we are able to focus on getting S-OFF and opening these things up for ROMs. HTC is using a new security scheme with these that hasn't made it easy so far, but as is with anything new it's going to have holes that are just waiting to be found. Using Flash_image to flash directly looks to be a dead end but there are still many different angles that are being worked on at the moment. Please jump in anytime if you have an idea that you think may help.
I have attached a few things to this bottom of this post and dragonfyre13's thread has a lot of good info that is being deposited there: Root: shaking something loose [WIP]. Odds are very good our current method of getting root won't last long so it never hurts to start looking for something new early.
If you find the file SMART_IO.CRD on your sd card please do not delete or format anything on it and let us know.
The read and writesecureflag commands show the following when you try to use them:
Code:
fastboot oem readsecureflag
... INFOsecure_flag: 3
OKAY
fastboot oem writesecureflag ?
... INFO shooter_init_sd, SD card already power on
INFOsdcc_init_memory_device done
INFO[FAT_ERROR] fat_open_file: can not find SMART_IO.CRD
INFO[JAVACARD_ERR] SMART_IO.CRD cann't find
INFOwritesecureflag: Permission denied, value 1
OKAY
Update 6/28: Many are wondering if the Incredible 2 being unlocked would help us and Shinzul posted a good explanation of how it relates to where we are:
Shinzul said:
m03sizlak said:
Alpha Rev X has released a beta version of their Incredible2 S-OFF utility:
http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/
I can only imagine that the method used could quite possibly be adapted to the 3D. Someone needs to open these tools up in IDA and start reverse-engineering.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The incredible 2 shipped with Froyo on it, which means that there are plenty of available exploits that can be used to gain a root shell. As far as I understand, the inc2 guys didn't have a leaked eng bootloader, so once they had temp root, they had no way to unlock the bootloader without essentially hex editing the existing one and then coming up with a process to overwrite the existing one.
We have an eng bootloader for the 3VO, so all we really need to do is gain a root shell and then write the boot and recovery images and reboot - poof, s-off.
Props to the AlphaRev team for the inc2 work, but unfortunately, it doesn't help one bit for us.

If we don't get an unlocked bootloader, then this is where we might have to turn to an XTC clip (aka like a goldcard method). I'll reach out to the XTC dev. I know he just started a thread over in the Sensation section.

I would be more than willing to try it with mine, and I'm expecting it to be delivered to my job any minute now. However, I've never used this method and when it comes to ADB, I'm a novice.....at best.
Is there any way you can provide a quick guide as far as what the command prompts we are to type to get GingerBreak to go through? I'm sure it would be helpful to many of us.
Edit: Also, do you think I should do this before the out-of-the-box OTA update goes through? I know we are all hoping the update has the unencrypted keys, but for all we know, it may shut the door on an existing exploit and makes things harder. What do you think?
Thanks in advance!

you don't need to flash any of the ROMs if you dont like them. I would root in case HTC/sprint sends a forced update. Might as well right?

This is probably a super noob question, but I haven't quite gotten into the 3VO development scene yet. I keep hearing that the bootloader is yet to be unlocked, but people are talking about a permanent root already?
Can someone explain to me the difference between temp root and permanent root? I know the difference between temporary and permanent, but how does it apply to rooting your 3VO? Also, how does a locked boot loader affect us and why do we want it unlocked? Last thing, what is S-off? Thanks!

Permanent root means S-off and a few other things. People are talking about HTC when they speak of unlocking bootloaders. If you root your phone through AlphaREV, your phone will be permanently rooted.

Permanent root is only available via an unlocked bootloader, because of the write protection on the phone. Fortunately for the community a combined effort between Alpharev & Unrevoked, resulted in the bootloaders being unlocked Friday evening. While HTC did say that they would unlock the loaders, the "Revolution" tool is the reccomended way to proceed as there's no way to say what sort of stipulations HTC might incorporate. Check one of the many S-Off threads in the developement section or pm me if you need a more detailed answer.

Awesome, thanks guys! That's exactly what I wanted to know. So now I can go ahead and root my phone and wait for the next badass ROM (hopefully CM!) for this phone!
How do I achieve s-off? Can I revese HTC unlock method? Is there a thread or answer available? I'm not a complete noob at rooting but got excited and didn't read thoroughly before committing to the HTC process. Started sifting through threads and haven't discovered an answer yet... Please help
I've been trying to sift through them as well just out of curiosity. Here is what I have gleaned from all of the threads on this subject:
1) Unless you previously had s-off through revolutionary, the HTC method will not give you or currently allow you to get s-off
2) Although the HTC method does unlock the boot loader, other things are still locked preventing you from flashing a custom recovery.
3) Currently there is no way to root or get super user access once you've applied the HTC method
4) Currently there is no way to undo the HTC method.
Probably not what you wanted to hear but that is my understanding as it is currently. That doesn't mean that a Dev won't figure out how to allow you to do those things in the next few days or weeks. You'll just have to keep checking.
Thank you, maybe ill just "lose" my phone and get it replaced
I would wait a week or so. Someone will probably figure it out.
Try this thread. Apparently this version of CWM recovery will work with the 1.50 hboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225812
I think if you search other threads you'll see that it only works if you have previously had s-off.

I have tried various ways to get my supercid to work and it doesnt. I give up. I just give up.
I put the PG58IMG on the root of the sd card and the bootloader tells me there is no image found.... WTF!
I am about to throw this phone against the wall.... (no I will not give it away, I will kill it) if someone doesn't explain to me why this is happening!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have obtained S-Off earlier this morning.... that was the easiest part of my day....... Tell me how putting supercid on my phone is the hardest part of my day???
When I type in "fastboot getvar cid" it shows me my default cid....

I am currently running:
S-OFF, Energy Rom (GB), HBoot 1.90.2005.
History:
I had the ICS leak, but took it off. (Does that affect my HBoot?)
Apps at my disposal:
Root Explorer, Rom Manager, 4EXT Recovery, and Titanium Backup.
Well SCID won't let you flash ANYTHING it will only let you flash other Carriers RUUs that also carry the Amaze/Ruby. It won't let you flash a GS2 Rom on your Amaze if that's what you're thinking. Being a Tmobile Customer, we are the only carriers with the ICS for the Amaze so its pointless for now. And Android RevolutionHD does not require SCID for Tmobile users because its based off the Tmobile RUU.
Once other carriers, that also carry the Amaze/Ruby, have an awesome Rom then SCID maybe needed.

his base is Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) - latest official HTC RUU 2.14.531.1 which is tmobile...i admittedly havent read thru his entire thread, but im not sure why you would need scid when his base is tmobile and youre on tmobile his prerequisite is likely said in general, but directed towards telus, wind users since there seem to be alot of people here on those networks (they in fact would need scid to flash this rom, since their cid is different)

YOU can do with YOUR phone whatever you want, BUT since there arent any roms with a telus/wind base (none that ive seen), im not sure why you need to change your cid
mznatnat said:
I really don't want Tmobile knowing that I hacked my phone.... its none of their or HTC's business..... I just need their service ..... to make calls and texts..... I don't want them adding account notes saying "Oh she hacked her phone" .... so if I ever need advice.... they are going to treat me like a dumb piece of sh!t because I altered my phone..... or say "we cant help you because u altered your phone" ......

On the rom post it specifically says..... (view attachment)
That's why I don't wanna try to install anything and then end up messing something up and bricking my phone....

In order to have a successful rooting / flashing experience.... you must read.... A LOT.... I hate reading.... But ever since I joined XDA I have done way too much reading... I paid 700 dollars for my phone.... There's no way I'd be stupid enough to not read and brick the hell out of my phone.... My PS3 was only 300 ..... my laptop was only 350.... and my monitor was about 360 and my ipod was about 250.... its the most expensive piece of equipment I own.....
I take care of all of my devices..... I cannot afford to brick my phone.... because once I do.... I'd have to go back to my stupid LG G2x.... and I can't have that!!!!!!!!!!
Plus I learn when I read....
It also says that I need to do a Super Wipe...... so now I gotta read a hell lot of threads and figure out what super wipe does.... and how to put it on my phone....

I see that you got your Queston answered in the supercid thread but this is also for those who posted in this thread.
Your problem is that you have ENG HBoot. You need JB Hboot (or is it JD?), which you can grab in the supercid thread. after you flash the hboot you can supercid. You can reflash ENG Hboot when finish.
I've experienced the same problem as you and this was my fix.

I didn't get my problem answered yet my friend.....
I HAD JB Hboot, I had 1.90.0008, 1.90.2005.... and guess what.....????

If you had the ICS leak already, might as well flash the latest leak (reported better connectivity than the first leak) and try to superCID with the SHP 1.93.0002 hboot. After you do superCID then go back to GB. It's an extra step but something you've already done before.
Regarding Super Wipe, you should be able to download the file from mike1986's tread under Downloads. All it does is wipe and formats data, system and cache in one swoop instead of you manually doing it yourself.
Hey,
My phone says S-Off but above that it says LOCKED. Does that mean I am out of luck because the bootloader is locked? Is this any type of advantage over an S-On phone considering HTC shut us out?
Thanks

if you s-off you should be able to flash a recovery.img in hboot and then flash a rooted rom or root package...regardless of locked or not
but tbh ive never been in that situation so i cant speak from personal experience
maybe someone else can chime in on that

Yeah, I got the phone from a local Verizon employee the day it came out. It came in a white box. Pretty cool that it is S-Off. The plastic faceplate has a crack through it though, I think the quality control might have been skipped on these employee versions. I never dropped it, the crack just appeared.
Anyway back to Roms. I hope it is true that I can just flash a rooted rom. Anybody know for sure?
Is there a way to pull a copy something off of the phone to help with the ongoing s-off efforts?

You'd have to flash a recovery first, but it should work. Only one way to find out.

Ok I'll try that after work today and advise.
I wish I could take a screenshot of the bootloader screen so that you guys can better understand my situation. I'll try to get a camera later and take a photo.
It worked. I am now rooted with TWRP recovery. Thanks guys. Let me know if there is anything I can pull off my phone for you.
The only reason I may switch back to stock is for the international functionality that they say is coming to this phone. I really need that.

what is your hboot?
is it an ENG hboot or is it the stock hboot_1.02.0000?
if ENG you could pull that it could be of use if/when s-off comes for this phone.
BUT it's really not a big deal as I already have a friend who does have the ENG hboot for this phone so he will be giving me it, just wondering if you have it as well, and if they would be the same.

It is stock Hboot.
Does having a locked bootloader limit me in any way?

It might block you from using fastboot commands without a patched hboot. However, I would sacrifice those to keep ***LOCKED*** status.
