After patiently awaiting s-off so that I can install custom roms, splash screens boot animations etc. I find it ironic that HTC doesn't, in part, want the bootloader unlocked so that people won't screw up their phones. In the mean time, our ADD minds have gone the safe route by...
Pulling out T5 torque wrenches to disassemble our phones to change home key color
Tearing the phone apart to repaint it
Playing with QPST which is not a toy at all (talk about f-ing your phone up) to remove the Sprint banner or change the volume
Using PC's to rip out your MSL key to change Wimax or 3G settings (which is much easier to do now thanks to XDA)
Back to QPST... Changing the PRL if we don't like the new one.
Re-rooting 40x when ad free fails (and it does work just glitchy)
Don't get me wrong, all of these ideas are awesome and I have done all except the physical assault on my 3VO... If s-off isn't here soon, Radio Shack here I come! I need all the wrenches and tape and paint you got.
not this again.

At this point I don't think anyone cares anymore who is taking their phone back because there's no s-off or some random minor imperfection, and then starting a thread about it explaining why.
Ok, I can see how the post would read the way you took it. My point was more that the xda community is innovative, creative and curious. And when handcuffed by a bootloader, we find other avenues to fill the void. I think its cool as hell. Like kids trapped inside on a rainy day without their xbox. It wasnt a hurry up s-off rant. But it was an observation that some of this stuff is a lot more dangerous than flashing

Alpharev and team win found s-off, y u no share with world selfish bastards! :rolls eyes:
But for real IPHONE 5 ON SPRINT FTW (hondacop voice)
Ill run the s-off when there's a worthy ROM I can flash. I might wait a week to see what the feedback is before I take the plunge.

For the love of all that is HOLY... I am not returning my phone!!! Where did I ever say that??? I learned how to do many things because of the locked bootloader. QPST etc. Things I never would have learned if I was constantly flashing new roms, keyboards changing boot animations... I'm not asking for a hurry up to s-off, I will wait as long as it takes. All I trying to point out, and failing miserabley, in our spare time some of us are doing things to our phones that can screw them up way more than flashing and copy pasting in system/customize/resource. I haven't bricked my phone once and am enjoying playing with the new ideas and programs I never knew were out there. ****, if I was going to cry about phone returns and alpharev crap I'd go to facebook

Well this junk goes back tuesday.I have a free photon coming on tuesday from sprint to test and keep and after that i get a real phone the SGS2.
this whole ordeal has turned me off.First it was HTC and all the posting asking when when when and then we get a youtube video of S-OFF but since it has been dead.
This phone is nothing special.The screen looks just like the evo if you hold them side by side.Ill be glad to send it back and wait for a real phone.

I ment a week after freedom (or whatever its called) drops just to see the feedback just in case there was some unanticipated problems.
I recently got a new HTC Amaze 4G for T-Mobile that has SHIP S-OFF
What can one do with SHIP S-OFF on the HTC Amaze 4G?
Should one sell it to someone that could put it to good use for the community?
i THINK (im no expert here so im only guessing)
you need to
1 not update it yet.
2 read on the development forums and find the S off forum and check your versions of your phone to the ones that have been grabbed and if its a different version
3 create need to create dumps the entire phone. but im not sure.. really check the soff thread under development
this whole s off thing s on thing confuses me still since im coming off an N1 but i think i understand it.

Not update it to what? ICS when it is released?
I think he meant don't do an htc firmware update
Yeah cause they've been having a hard time getting S-Off with this phone which is really holding back ROM development. It's the reason they cant slap a ICS ROM on there.
Xboarder already have a s-off device just like you did, it would be nice if you sale it to another high developer like faux123 he works with kernels he might figure out how the drivers works with a s-off amaze or to a coder, so these people can figure out all the drivers and how to get ours s-off

That's not the problem at all. The reason why ICS roms aren't going so well is because HTC hasn't released the drivers/code for WiFi, BT, etc, so these aren't working in ICS rom ports. S-ON is not much more than a minor annoyance and can be worked around. Once an ICS build has been leaked by HTC, ICS development should pick up.

What does this mean for the DNA scene? Does it increase our chances at finding a post-OTA unlock method, or is it more useful for ROM/custom feature development purposes?

From what I gather it's possible, though not likely there is an exploit for post OTA unlock in the source. It will help development in that 2.04 ROMS such as Viper1.2 will soon have compatible custom kernels whenever the developers of their respective kernels update them.
I suppose there can be other possible benefits but I have not heard anyone mention them.
Kernel source won't help bootloader unlock.

I guess she is used to stellar battery life, not having all the bloat, being over clocked and fast as all get out on Viper rom.
The area she works gets better signal with old radio's while I get better with new radio's??
No wife tether
Missing a few root only apps, missing data since she can't restore.
Look don't take offense. This phone is great, but when you get used to certain things is hard to go back.

I'd JTAG it before going to an S4. But it depends on if you bought the DNA because you like it a lot, or somehow you got stuck with something you didn't really want.

I have both and i just can't get over how much better the DNA's screen is. I made many screen color adjustments via kernel and the S4's screen just ddoesn't look right compared to the dna, plus there's this coating on the glass that seems to dull he brightness. I remember seeing it on the S3 too. As far as build quality, the S4 is nice but the dna seems premium.
I'm running Carbon rom and custom kernels on both phones. I can only tell the difference between the two by looking at he screen and the locations of the back and menu buttons (they're the opposite on each phone).
If I was faced with a choice today I would get the DNA.

After comparing the two in store I didn't feel that the DNA screen was any better. However I like the AMOLED screens. The s4 seemed snappier but not much. However the storage on the DNA bothers me and I prefer a removable battery.
I'll probably wait another 2 weeks and then decide. I may hold off on the s4 for the Note 3 or the upcoming HTC phablet. I would like a bigger screen. If the HTC One was 5" I would have probably already bought it.

Just use face palm from where I am now? Is one better then the other? Do I need to be on new firmware to try new ROMs? Sorry I used to be all over this with my Incredible and Rezound but loved the DNA out of the box and never tweaked.

I am also going to order one. I've been anxiously waiting the release of this device since I first read about it on Android central. I've been running the VZW Gs4 for a while now and need a change. I'm really really hoping that it will have root bootloader and s-off just like the one (especially since they share the same chipset). I really hope there is developer interest in this device.
I was just at the store checking one out. The build quality feels amazing! And, despite the size, fits and feels just fine in the pocket of my jeans.
I did not walk out with it, but will probably end up talking myself into the purchase within the next couple of hours.

i said the exact same thing..i compared it next to the Note 3... the note 3 really felt cheap
i checked out the back cover, and the finish FELT and looked FLUSH from every angle. There were some reports of back cover not fitting snug in early production models?
the only thing that bothered me was the internals, all they needed was a SD800, and i would of completely been satisfied plunking down $600 + tax for one
I also got to see a White LG G2. There was a LG Rep that said, there could be a sale similar to last G2 deal, 450$ outright.. so i might just wait for that, and get the HTC M8 whenever that comes out

Yeah. I pinged him this morning because I needed his help to get temp root to pull kernel for beaups to use for bootloader unlock and s-off. Got stuck at work so didn't pick it up until about an hour ago. For now it's charging. Then I'm going to contact him and hopefully take care of business.

It should be quite easy, you just need a custom recovery and then you are rooted. please visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498749 and request for verizon support, the dev has been really good, kind enough and been quick to get the recovery for sprint & international models working!

Unfortunately as beaups has described to me it's a chicken/egg thing. They have to have the kernel before they can create *valid* recovery (other device recovery may work) and root but you have to be rooted to pull the kernel.

i see, i did not know that. i also don't see anyways we can backup stock recovery. i seriously wonder how dev's were able to get the initial stock kenel/recovery. i guess that's only via temp root that you are looking for with jcase
Got mine also!

I Got mine yesterday on EDGE
Got back into booloader by removing drivers that installed and installing HTC Sync Manager. Works for now so not removing sync manager itself until I have to.
No go on htcdev unlock. It let me get all the way to putting my device info and then came back with a code 160 MID not allowed message. Verizon likely shut that down early.
Now I have to try to connect with jcase (if available) to temp root...
anyone dump the system yet? and can someone do adb pull /proc/config.gz
Is anyone getting this phone coming from a note 2? Do you think it is an worthy upgrade?
