I wonder if setting S-off would help the camera problem i am having with my One. I posted the problem a few minutes ago. My question is what is S-On or S-off mean? I saw when I was rooting my phone and flashing a custom kernel....
Can I ask what the two of you are even talking about ? I don't think you know .
No htc phone requires soff it's optional thing when available .And not always easy to achieve with HTC.You must gain an unlocked bootloader before you can root once you unlock and root you then can soff if it's been achieved for the specific device that one is attempting soff with.
It has nothing to do with needing it for root or needing it at all, soff just gives us the complete total control to flash kernels roms and a ton more of tech stuff.

S-off @ S -on means Security on Security off

Thanks for the real answer. My One is unlocked, rooted, and running ElementalX kernel. Don't know if S is on or off or even how to change it from one to the other

It is s ON. If you go into recovery you can view it.

You can't change soff or s on the way u think .It's not anything to do with what you are thinking.
Soff is very hard to achieve it takes great minds to do so . This is why HTC is greatly difficult to hack over the Samsung devices .
You don't need soff so stop worrying about it .trust me ,cause the HTC one is like the nexus models they work the same soff isn't needed really where as any other HTC soff phone is needed to flash roms in there entirety.
Without soff on most HTC phones you have to flash roms in pieces like boot.img has to be done from a pc before flashing the rom ,whereas the One can still do all that with s On.

You currently can't root 1.5 without using HTC's method. Revolutionary is supposedly working on it but its been along time and there doesn't seem to be that much of a rush since HTC released their method.

I just dont agree with HTCs method. I would rather have s-off so I can flash kernels through recovery.

Same here luda I'm still waiting for unrevoked to be updated it seems that alot of people are having problems with oficial htc unlock and you can't even install cm7 unless you rooted your phone with unrevoked so I guess we just have to wait maybe one month or two or three who knows

Yea but it sure is taking long though. I have sat in front of my pc ready to use HTC unlock but I just don't want to.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
It is possible to flash CM7 with the HTC Unlock . You have to do it through fastboot . But I agree with everyone here Im not really liking the idea of using the HTC unlock . I to have found myself on HTC's website but just cant bring myself to trust them . I have been waiting patiently for Alpha/Unrevoked to work some magic . That or hope like hell something goes wrong with mine and I get another warranty claim and get 1.40 bootloader on the replacement LOL
How long have you guys been waiting?
Also I don't see no threads out there about alpha/rev working on hboot 1.50 so that ish is driving me crazy....

Hello all, I'm just wondering, if once you root via HTC's method (since my phone is 651.3 there's no other way that I know of) can you make your bootloader say *Locked* (NOT relocked) in case you need to get service at a sprint store? I know you can remove the yellow triangle on certain Samsung devices so I figured I'd see if you could do something similar on the EVO. Thanks guys.

No, you can only modify the hboot text with s-off. If you really wanted, you could actually relock it using fastboot but I think even then it says relocked instead. I don't think there's much reason to...it sounds like Sprint doesn't really care. Especially since you unlocked using a method provided by HTC.

Ok thank you. Now, I know with the EVO 3D, and using htcs unlock method, you had to use fastboot to flash kernels and recoveries, is this still true on the new EVO?

You can also get those apps back by flashing an RUU.

Yes you are right, BUT he must locked his phone to be able flashing the RUU, and then if he went to re-unlocked he will suffer the same problem .
So installing the missed app separately is the only safe solution.

Lets see...
Like the difference in s-off and unlocking the bootloader.
What s-off does.
What is hboot?
What is an RUU?
(Not a term but...) In case of an emergency how would I flash back to stock if I needed to? (Gonna miss Odin for that)
Those are the things I can think if off the top of my head.

Unlocking the bootloader = able to flash custom recovery, roms, kernels.
S-Off = lets you flash all of the above, plus radios and downgrade hboot
hboot = underlying firmware of the device, without S-Off its not possible to downgrade this and you generally you want to mess with hboot as little as possible(or not at all) as there's a high potential for hard bricking your device if you do a command wrong.
RUU = basically an ODIN executable oh****button.
Most of the stuff is going to be the same across Android devices, however.
Thanks for the help. HTC seems confusing... Lol

Well. Today I decided that rooting and flashing my flyer would be a good idea. So I decided to go to the dev site, and all I got was error 173. Which I ended up with, no matter how I many times I tried.
My flyer is currently running 3.2.1, stock hc, locked , and has s-on. I'll find the build number and the rest later. But I've spend 7 hours looking through various topics on downgrading, unlocking, and rooting, but it all stops at HTC dev, and I the only other way to unlock bootloader seems a bit too advanced for me. So, please guys, I really need a piece of advice, or help, and I shall be grateful. Contacting HTC on their Facebook, and on their Twitter, hasn't helped so far.
What is the best way to unlock the bootloader? Except htc dev ? And rooting it?
Thanks in advance.

If the number is lower than 1.10.0000 or 1.11.0003 then do the update via OTA above, if you have the above you need to do down.
Be the full number.
Exactly. I just got contacted by htc about it. They don't know why it isn't working either. In order to downgrade my h boot, I need to have an unlocked bootloader or root, ne?
