no I dont think so. Pretty sure everyone moved on to other devices already.
someone claimed they had it figured out, but of course they wouldn't prove it, and said they were going to do something with another device, before releasing the exploit. I for one thought the entire thing was made up, but all these people got all their hopes up and its probably best to not talk about it, as you might hurt someone's feelings after they were all duped.

I was close to trading for a Note 2 earlier today. But decided to hold out another week. I like this phone too much to just give up.
Not really a huge deal is it?
We have kernel to write to system while booted. The radio is unlocked for other carriers AFAIK. Need a computer to flash kernels but besides that...

But can't we flash Kernels with our phone without being on AOSP? That's the part I'm missing. Or because we have Sense we are restricted somehow unless we take the whole verizon/sense thing out of the equation?

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
We can flash kernels and roms because of the unlocked bootloader.
We can make changes to the system while booted in android because of the writeable kernel by dsb.
As far as s-off, I'm not sure what we can't do right now since we have the bootloader unlocked and a kernel that allows writing to the system while booted.
You don't need AOSP, AOKP, CM to flash a kernel. As far as making these roms work on our phones, there's something with the RIL that I beleive has to be worked on to get them going but don't quote me on that.
I know this is a bit off topic, but was kind of brought up..
For those wondering why it's hard to get aosp on the DNA, HTC Sense phone, take a look through the thread posted below. It's from the Rezound forums, and has been in the works since July or so. They have made great progress, but it can't happen over night.
Sorry for going off topic a bit.

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
I did a litle searching and found the answer (I think)
*what exactly IS s-off?
the simple answer is "security-off" on the normal checks that the phone does before it allows you to change different partitions,or revert to an older software/firmware combination.
more specifically,what the s-off procedure gives the device is a "radio s-off" by changing a setting in the radio NVRAM called the "secure flag" to "off". this method of s-off is ideal,as it is below the radio level of the phone,and will remain no matter what other changes are made. radios,hboots,etc. can all be changed and the radio secure flag will remain off.
ruus can be run,OTAs accepted,etc. and the s-off will stay,until it is purposely changed.
other devices use a "patched" hboot,wich is basically an hboot,that does not listen to the radio secure flag. the radio secure flag is still s-on,the patched hboot simply ignores it. these hboots can be further patched to prevent themselves from being overwritten,so the s-off is not lost during an ruu or OTA. with older phones,this works fine until a new hboot is required for an OS upgrade.
with the new devices,this type of s-off is not possible(or we would have had it a long time ago) due to the complex checks that the phone makes when it boots. if the s-on radio checks hboot and finds it to be unsigned,the phone is put into a "do not boot" mode that is only reversible by htc,becoming effectively a hard brick.
"why not patch the radio just like we patched the hboot??" partially because its easier said than done,partially because other checks are going on,and if the radio is found to be unsigned,again, "no boot mode". basically there are just too many checks going on to patch them all. since it all starts with the radio secure flag,its the only practical way to gain complete access to the phone.
*isnt my unlocked via htcdev bootloader the same as s-off? i thot thats what unlocked means?
sorry,no. its not the same. the key difference is that htcdev unlock only allows access to boot/system/recovery. the phone is still s-on,and still doing plently of checks that prevent you from:
-changing firmware
-changing your splash screen
-going backwards in software/firmware build version numbers.
it also does not allow you to write the boot image from the recovery partition,as we all know that have flashed roms on s-on phones. since the kernel lives in the boot image,the kernel can only be changed by:
1)flashing it seperately via hboot or fastboot
or
2)launching your recovery from fastboot.
a permanently installed recovery cannot install kernels with htcdev unlock
*so what does s-off do for me??
-first and foremost,it makes rom flashing and nandroid restoring ALOT easier by allowing the permanently installed recovery to write the boot image,making the PC no longer a required part of the flash/restore equAtion you can now download a rom right to your phone,move it to the root of your sd with a file manager,and boot to a recovery and flash it,without a PC anywhere in sight.(note that i do not download roms to my phone,i prefer to download to pc,then transfer. a personal preference)
-second,it alows changing of firmware,so you can run a "patched" or engnieering hboot,the advantages of will be discussed later
-it lets you upgrade your radio and related firmware wihtout running a huge,signed,full RUU
-it lets you go backwards in build numbers. this is handy becasue you can,without fear,flash the latest leak,and if its bad,revert back to older software/firmware without issue.
-you can change your splash screen,wich is not important functionally,but fun. anything from carman electra, to your cat,to your grandkids can replace the htc splash screen.
-last and not least,the ability to add a patched or engineering hboot,combined with the ability to run any RUU that exists,gives a much greater opportunity to revive a "soft bricked" phone.
-one last big plus is that the procedure will change your unlocked or relocked status back to locked wich,visiually,is good for warranty purpose.

So basically, with our phone unlocked we can flash custom recovery, get root and flash a kernel or rom. With a writeable kernel we can make changes to the system partition whole booted in android. With s-on there are certain things we can't do like flash radios or revert firmware.

Have you are anyone tested the relock? Frrom what I remember on previous ones I thought you could not relock like the nexus one.
But basically relock then flash these thru bootloader and you are back to the way has came out the box?

Sorry for sounding like a n00b and redundancy but just wanted to make sure I understand this right before I make any changes on device.
The relocker posted by xboarder and binary, does that completely reverse the HTC bootloader unlock done the HTC dev site?
Assuming it does, that does mean we can get the regular updates to device again?

You need S-OFF to flash this. This zip is flashed through HBOOT. Do not flash it in recovery. I assume no responsibility for any damage done by using this file.
It will work for any HTC Amaze on any carrier as long as you have S-OFF and SuperCID (check the stickies for instructions on how to get these things). I have removed the HBOOT and Recovery from the leaked ICS Rom football posted. That is the only modification to this rom, otherwise it is completely stock and contains all other parts of the update. I think it is a better alternative for anyone with S-OFF because they don't have to reflash recovery and HBOOT after flashing.

S-OFF/SuperCID/ENGHBOOT on a Wind Amaze here, get a Fail-PU (106) on the NFC file mentioned also, just FYI
*See Below*
Forgot to mention that the new HBOOT is necessary to flash the nfc update, as far as I can tell the juopunutbear HBOOT and the ENG HBOOT do not understand it, which is why it reboots after installing the new bootloader and before flashing nfc. nfc seems to work fine without it. Will add to original post. Also gonna repost with it ripped out as well so it doesn't throw an error, even though it doesn't matter.

Can't confirm NFC as yet, but even with a 'partition error' after flashing on the ENG HBOOT, the ROM functions perfectly. You can root just by flashing the usual SU.zip.

Isnt SuperSID just for if you are on another carrier? IE: If I have a T-Mobile Amaze all I need is S-Off?
Since this is basically a stock ROM, I assume that everything works fine with it?
EDIT: I always get confused too; hboot is the same thing as the stock bootloader right? Hold power + volume down?

You shouldn't need SuperCID on the T-Mobile one really, but if you run into issues it doesn't hurt to have it on there. Plus if Wind get 4.0.4 with Sense 4.0, you won't have to be jelly
HBOOT is the white screen, so yeah the stock bootloader. An ENG (Engineering) one unlocks more and allows you to send a wider variety of commands

I'm not 100% but since I have modified the file (presumably breaking it's signature) I do not believe it will flash with S-ON. None of the files inside are modified, some are just removed, but the file itself is modified by those removals. As far as I know if even one byte of this file is changed it will not flash with S-ON. If someone would be willing to test with S-ON then I will update my post if necessary, I have no way to test personally. I do not expect it to work but it is definitely a possibility. If it does work, it will only work a T-Mobile Amaze. If it will not work, it will not damage your phone. It will fail a signature check before it installs anything. If it does not fail that signature check then the entire thing will flash as it is verified in it's entirety at the beginning of the process.

The reason that it says partition error is because nfc flashes to a partition and it fails. This is why it still works fine even with such a seemingly menacing error. I have ripped it out until I can figure out what I talk about in my first post. No one should receive any error now.

Hello! I used to be very engrossed in the modding community for the Rezound a few months ago. But because of a forced phone switch I haven't been in the loop for a while.
Well now I'm back on a Rezound and I was wanting to know a few things.
Fair warning. When I left we had just achieved S-off and were delving into the new things we could do from then on, so if my questions seem dated; I'm sorry.
Also, my phone atm is on stock ICS, I wanted to get a feel for everything again before I went and rooted it.
*Which are the most prominent ROMs right now? (Preferrably sense with beats)
*Do any of those ROMs have a working DSP Manager with Virtual room or ability to get it working on it?
*What is this whole GSM thing I'm seeing on some ROMs lists? Are we able to use the rezound easily overseas or on different networks now or something?
I have looked through some of the forums but haven't been able to find any concrete information, so I figured I would just post my own thread.
Thank you for your time and any replies!
The most prominent roms are any of the ones on the first two pages of the development sections. I know that neo includes a Beats mod in his AOSP roms which works as well as any stock beats you'll find in a sense rom. The DSP manager included with cyanogenmod is 100% functional as far as I can tell. And yes, we can use the rezound on AT&T (siul does MIUI and uses his rezound on AT&T) but I'm not sure as to what frequencies we have access to and if its HSPA or not.
Since you've been gone we received a global ruu that gives the rezound service over seas. The most prominent roms sense based are viperrez, newts one xxx, ecliptic rez and so on.. Those are just the ones I've tried. I'm running newts hybrid rom now and it's doing well though it's not as optimized as his one xxx rom

I think I'm all set now except for one thing. Is it normal now after you unlock and install a recovery for it to say TAMPERED? Last I saw that was when people were installing the leaked ICS RUUs.
The order of which I rooted my phone in case I did anything wrong was. Unlock bootloader with HTCDev, Phone restarted, let it load up then went into the menu and enabled Debugging again, shut it off. Reloaded fastboot. Then installed TWRP 2.3.3.0 using the All-in-one tool. After that my bootloader said TAMPERED.

Tampered is ok. It just means there's a custom recovery installed. Every now and then TWRP has some issues flashing certain files just so you know, most likely you'll never see it, but just in case it keeps you from chasing your tail I mentioned it.
We're s off now, that's the big change for when you want to do some wild modification. But thanks to snuzzo there's no harm done in being s on it's easier now than it used to be.

Fwiw, that ROM still appears to be available via the link in Post 1 of that thread.
cheers,
john

that isnt a pure stock ota bud...thats a rom made with includes from it and rooted
This might sound stupid, but your objective here really is to get stockish, correct? With your HBoot you could use this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154
Just make sure to flash boot.img afterwards via fastboot. This is as close to pure stock (only root added) as you can get without S-Off or other trickery. It should suffice for the requirements of the OP.

I've been trying to deal with this problem over in the liquidsmooth thread, but it's clear now that my problems are not related specifically to the rom and that thread isn't really the place for it.
I've lost all cell connectivity. Calls, texts, data, everything. The liquid rom had been working for me for over a week. I've reverted to previous roms both with new flashes and using restore files. I've tried a different recovery. Every time, it acts like I don't have a sim card.
I was suspecting that my sim might be bad, but back on the liquidsmooth thread, it was suggested that I need to RUU back to stock and start over. I'd be willing to do that except the only way suggested was really complicated. I'm S-on and it included ubuntu and the wire trick to get s-off, which I'm hesitant to do. I searched and found another thread with instructions to run an RUU while still s-on, and it seems like it would have worked except that my hboot is newer than the RUU used, and I've been unable to find a newer one.
I tried flashing the stock rom above and flashing the stock recovery that I had from when I first rooted several months ago. It still thinks I don't have a sim card, but otherwise it booted fine until I re-locked to bootloader. Then it wouldn't boot anymore. I guess it still knows that those versions of hboot, the recovery, and the rom don't quite go together.
Is there an RUU that will work with hboot 2.28 to "un-root" my phone without downloading a second operating system and performing surgery on my phone? Are the correct stock rom and recovery out there that I can flash and re-lock? Is there a way to know if that is actually the problem if if it is just my sim card? Are there any other ideas to get my phone functioning again?
Please help!

There is no RUU for your hboot, need to s-off...
If your SIM is bad, get a new one from Verizon.
Also, is the battery cover on?

On that note... Are using a stock battery cover? Some aftermarket ones are questionable at best. Also, try another SIM, Verizon will replace it free.

I tried using a friend's good sim card and it didn't work. Yes, I'm using the stock battery cover. I guess I'll have to do s-off so I can RUU back to stock.
Ugh . . . This has become so much more than I ever intended to get myself into

You didn't answer my question, is it on the phone while you're testing your connection. Dumb question I know, antenna's are in it though and I've caught people leaving it off and not getting a signal then wondering why...

Sorry, I missed that part of the question. We did it pretty quick, but I think I did put the battery cover. Also, it's not just getting no signal, there is an icon in the notification bar and a big message on the lock screen says I have no sim card at all. That has never happened before, even with the battery cover off. As I look back I realize I failed to mention that important detail. I guess it still couldn't hurt to try a brand new sim card before taking the plunge into s-off. Even if that isn't the problem, at least I'll know for sure, and as you pointed out, its easy and free.

----------------------
EDIT: The official link has been taken down. If you would still like to download the RUU anyway, I have uploaded it here and here.
NOTE: For those having issues updating via the RUU (drivers, Windows 8.1, etc), see this post for an alternative install method.
NOTE 2: There is an updated RUU (4.13.651.4) which was released to some testers from HTC. The update fixes the data roaming issue. It hasn't been released officially, but there is a download link for it here and a mirror here.
Excellent! Thanks Captain
Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen an official update that voided your warranty before.
Should I be worried that it's been stuck on the "sending" screen (on the PC, Windows 7) and the phone on the HTC logo for over 30 minutes?

I restarted it, and it's going this time. No idea what the deal was, but it's working now! Loaded and first booting.
It works,the only thing is supersu. I have to fine one that works with 4.3.

Not sure what SuperSU has to do with this RUU, but you should be able to flash SuperSU fine (as long as you're using the recovery from my thread).
So to clarify (sorry if this is a stupid question), but will this keep root? Just have to flash SU after? I'm rooted and s-off right now with custom ROM.

This is an official RUU from HTC. You will lose root and custom recovery. You'll have to flash the custom TWRP from my thread or Philz's modified CWM, and then you can flash SuperSU for root. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked after running this though - otherwise you won't be able to write permanently to /system.
Thanks, captain. I figure it out. I used the modified twrp.

Can anyone using this RUU comment on if their bootloader is still unlocked after?
Still on hboot 1.12.2222 (I think) and can probably figure out flashing supersu through TWRP after I flash TWRP.
Captain, can you link your thread? I've only used your zips for flashing firmware bits, radios, etc.
Thank you,
Skid

My bootloader stayed unlocked the entire time. My thread is in OG Dev. If you flash the RUU, you'll only need a recovery.
I'm experiencing a weird problem with the update. HTC beats audio doesn't enable unless I do the refresh on the blink homescreen or if I disable it, and enable it via settings. Once it goes to another track, it turns off again despite showing the icon that means it is on. I have to repeat the said steps to get it on again. This is using the HTC music app, and Google Play music app. Anyone aware of this? This is all stock with the new RUU.

Okay, thank you. I tried searching on Google, and I did not find anything. Will they address this, or is it unlikely?

Well they knew about it before giving us the final version and they didn't fix it. That suggests to me that it's unlikely to be fixed.
Thanks for this, downloaded and I'm gonna give it a shot, I'd like to root after, but I'm a bit confused, Where do I get the modified twrp? and also a little help on how to flash it cause it's been a while I flash something to my evo and with all the keeping up with my note 2, well I feel like new to the htc evo again.
Thanks!

Yes.
i thought i read somewhere that needed to relock bootloader, so i did, caused me lots of problems trying to flash ruu. it wouldnt complete ruu, got some htc_fastboot.exe errors, had to restart ruu 3-4x...finally decided to unlock bootloader again and give it a go. completed, no issues so far, all is good again. now shows only unlocked, not tampered unlocked as before ruu
