People taking this unbranded thing too seriously. the only difference in unbranded version is the different cid it's like a access code since we don't have a ics ruu for that cid we had to s off our phones (breaking the access code so it accept any brand) that's the difference, other than that all Amaze 4G's are the very same so yea, I did the same way chevy did

Back to the point,
Now for the 2nd time I'm telling you, you have to do the s off process again. At the end of the process if it asks you if you want the jbear hboot choose yes.
This isn't rocket science, you aren't programming a satellite, nor are you short circuiting your phone, so calm down people. If you are that worried and paranoid about it you need to leave xda and get an iPhone or something that doesn't challenge your mind and isn't technologically advanced. So if anyone else is reading this that's clueless about this process just keep that it mind.

Hey do u have radio disconnect like alot of us are having. Can't seem to figure this out. I have 2 EVO 3ds one is s on and has no root even on stock gingerbread. The other one is s off with cool Rom v7 with latest firmware and I still random straight to voicemail problems. When I call out it returns to normal. I'm going to try something else tomorrow I'm going to turn this phone off and turn my diner back on for the day and see if it is happening on the doner.

you can check your "accloc"...(something like that)...settings in qpst.....the lower the number, the higher priority your phone has on the tower. (2) is a good number to be set at....i think boost default is (5)

Reason why they put that is because a bunch of noobs who don't know what the hell they're doing flash things randomly without knowing what they're dealing with, since s-off requires some researching and adb skills, they push for s-off just to get more advanced users and avoid the noobish bs complaints/issues.
Hey bro yeah if you're using cwm, switch to 4ext it's worth it, use wipe all partitions, faster, easier than Superwipe, trust me I used Superwipe every time before flashing roms

I believe smartflash sometimes fails to flash properly ROMs. Also, restore ROM (boot.img particularly) doesn't work. Phone just gets stuck after reboot, so needed kernel re-flash. Also, without S-Off and SCID, for example, latest radio update can't be flashed. So, I believe that's why peeps looking for S-Off.

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.

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.
