Latest method for s-off - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

What seems to be the best way to s-off a new htc one from t-mobile. I used revone when i was with sprint when it first came out but now i switched and i have a newer phone.

I have been reading about that. Depends on what bootloader it has. I have 1.44 and was supposed to be able to use revone, but that didn't work yet. There is rumrunner for the newer ones. You can just do a search for rumrunner.

I think I'm gonna go with rumrunner. I'm still sitting he re debating on if I do it or not. I've got jump and I don't wanna ruin it if they give me problems trading it in.

[Q] S-Off, OneX and EVO LTE

I have a very noob question that I was unable to find an answer to while searching the forums.
It seems that (understandably) the OneX development is much further along than the EVO LTE. My guess is that S-OFF will (hopefully) be achieved soon for that phone. My question is: how well will achieving S-OFF on the OneX translate to the EVO LTE considering the phones are, to my understanding, so much alike.
Will S-OFF on the OneX mean S-OFF for the EVO LTE shortly after?
Thank you ahead of time for answering my noob question.

the one x devs also had the phone way before us soooo yeah it just depends
Evo 4g lte s-off
like any other htc phone... it will take some time... maybe a month or two before we get s-off!

maybe even a year. That't how long it took for evo 3d hboot 1.5
I think the HTC one x international ver has s-off but if the att one x gets s-off I think we will be right behind it assuming the flaw is in the chipset or something.

IM debating whether to use the one step method regaw_leinad created for us which uses HTCdev.com or wait for S-off... I'm curious to know whether or not it changes the HBOOT to begin with?

In the same boat. I'm dying to get rid of this bloatware and I have several apps that require superuser, but I don't want to hassle with un-rooting/re-rooting when an S-OFF method is released.
Though I must admit I'm still pretty new to all this. What does having S-OFF give us the ability to do?

Can't recall the specific thread, but do some searching. People are able to do everything without s-off. We can flash ROMs, recoverys, even kernels. There's no real reason to get s-off because of this

This is the thread you were thinking of. It explains why we don't really need x-off with this phone.
The only reason for S-off is if you don't want to void warranty then? It also looks like there will be a big hassle to get updates pushed to the device. I hope there is a leak of the Eng bootloader.

Even s off voids your warranty just no way to prove it per say and it isn't a hassle anymore as radios can be changed now...n same w splash screen's

Right now everything can be done with S-ON EXCEPT flashing radios. Unlike older phones this one also lets you flash kernels with S-ON. I currently have just rooted the phone over stock so when a method is available I will be able to revert back to stock untampered bootloader in 15 minutes with an RUU wipe then completely S-OFF the phone.

Even if you run the ruu, the bootloader still will have the watermark "relocked" and the splash still says that other crap.

Why are people waiting for s_off. Seems to me unlocked bootloader with s_on is perfect for the vast majority of root users. I know the first thing I did when I got the phone is head on over to HTC Dev. I really couldn't care less if s_off is never achieved.
I guess keep waiting but waiting for what I don't know

If you use HTC Dev, yes you are right but he's talking about just rooting without unlocking the bootloader in which case the RUU will remove the "tampered" message.

S-OFF for new hboot?

Anyone know if there will be an S-OFF method for the new Hboot? The sprint reps updated a buddy of mine's EVO without asking him and alas he now has the upgraded hboot.
Is there a way to revert it back?
Thanks All
Absolutely not
Sent from the depths of hell
To clear up the above post: there is absolutely no way of reverting back.
However, it might be possible that someone comes out with a way to achieve S-OFF on newer hboots. Did your friend make it clear to the Sprint rep to not update the phone? If he JUST bought it he can simply get it swapped out and make sure the rep doesn't update this time. If it's in for repair it might be tougher to get the situation remedied.
If you've ever accepted an OTA, theres not an S-0FF.
Chances are we will find an exploit for h-boot 1.15, but 1.19 is probably going to be very far down the road if ever

I doubt that there will be an s-off for 1.15. In fact it would make sense to abandon it and start working on the latest hboot to find an exploit.

Theres a good chance that there had been some exploit in 1.15 for them up update it though. That vulnerability would have been patched in 1.19

No sir, you are very wrong, with all due respect.
There are more(most likely) exploits to get s-off in 1.15. Once one of those is found and you can get s-off, you can then update hboot, firmware, etc, and remain s-off.

If I'm already S-on Hboot 1.15 is there any reason not to update?

Im already rooted, unlocked and running CM10. Title says the rest......discuss.
You have every reason not to take the OTA update.

Rxpert, can you please send me in the directions to acheive S-Off since i to have 1.15 hboot? I've looked all around no luck yet. Is it posssible to acheive S-off because of the 1.15hboot since LazyPanda isn't an option?:good:
There is no s-off for hboot 1.15 yet.
The reason you should not take the OTA is because there is a new hboot, which means it will probably be a very long time before you can get s-off on 1.19.
If you can hold out awhile longer, s-off should be possible on 1.15, then you can do whatever you want, update radio, etc.

Cloaker, do you have any reference to back up that hboot 1.15 s-off should be possible? I can't find anyone that is working on it. I've read others saying LazyPanda are working on it, but can't find that either. Just that s-off isn't possible on hboot 1.15 as well.

I know what you know, but if you look at the evo 3d and most phones, the pattern is that the first hboot is cracked quickly, the next one soon after, and the third takes a while(at least a year). There are still plenty of devs that haven't upgraded to the LTE yet.
Also, since htc has updated hboot again, has led many to believe on this forum that HTC found an exploit in 1.15 and patched it. With the phone this new, I bet s-off will be achieved with 1.15 relatively soon. But again, no sources, just my possibly flawed logic.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
If anyone knew 100% that it would be possible to crack it would already be cracked.
We are making assumptions bbased on the fact that HTC released hboot 1.19. They don't usually do that unless it patches vulnerabilities used to gain S-OFF
Does anyone know WHY HTC doesn't want us to have s-off? Even if we void the warranty doing it through their method. I would be completely satisfied if HTC dev let me have s-off.

Because S-OFF gives you the ability to really screw things up. They are protecting you from yourself
I understand that logic, but at the same time I don't. If I want to mess up my phone, let me. If they don't want to cover it under warranty, I understand. But let me mess my phone up. Lol

The problem is its hard to prove your phone is rooted once its really bricked. So they end up replacing it under warranty anyways.

What if they let us get s-off by providing our serial numbers? It seems like it would benefit them to let us get s-off via them. Then they could blacklist our serial numbers, if we do it, there isn't much they can do because as you mentioned, it's hard to tell once it's bricked.

I can't think of any reason why you would, I think some roms might need it, but regardless, once you're s-off, it's permanent unless you actually try to go s-on through some dev's method.

I wonder if one reason they close the exploits as fast as they can, and the reason their unlocker wipes the phone, is a liability issue their lawyers told them to do. So nobody can do this to somebody else's phone and access "sensitive data" or something.

The wipe is a pretty standard unlocking procedure. The nexus's do that as well I believe. Its a security thing

Hey guys,
My One Max will be here wednesday. Found a good deal on Swappa and decided I miss Sense too much to remain loyal to Samsung.
I do have a couple questions. With all convoluted postings I can not find any basic details I need.
1. Is this unlockable via HTC Dev?
2. Whats the skinny on preferred method of unlocking?
I dont care so much about S-OFF unless its one of those type that prevent custom kernels from flashing. Then I will go S-OFF.
What do you guys have for best practices on getting this unlocked?
I am pretty damned amped up to get this big bastard!
Saaaaaaweeet.
I found that the rumrunner* s-off was the easiest way to root and unlock the Verizon version. Did not require anything from htcdev.com.

So let me get this straight then..
Rum runner is best to get S-Off.
You dont need to be unlocked for rumrunner?
Once S-Off the normal rules apply? Can unlock bootloader and relock it using super CID like all other HTC phones?
And thanks guys!

You dont need to be unlocked for rumrunner with the verizon version. All other versions you are supposed to unlock with htcdev before soff. Rumrunner soff, unlocks bootloader and roots verizon version.
You can supercid once soff if you want. As you know supercid is to flash ruus from other versions onto your version (mainly for international gsm versions). You likely wont want to flash other versions on a verizon Max.
Sprint or Verison Scros...
Ahhhh... Max Venom injection! Much better now...
Sir, if you are getting the sprint model then
You need to unlock it using htc dev and then run rumrunner .
If you are getting a verizon model ,
Then just run the rumrunner it will take care of everything

It may not be to you but it is to a lot of the rest of us.
I like the freedom of not ever needing a computer which you never do with s-off.
Your not the first person to try to say that as it seems people like to say that when they dont understand what s-off means. If s-off was not really that big of deal then ask yourself why do the devs put in all the time and effort to crack it and get s-off if its as you claim not necessary ???? Why dont you ask the devs that question, maybe they can explain it to you so you can understand and comprehend it.
I have had s-off on every htc smartphone I have had since the first evo 4g and I have had a lot of them. s-on may be good enough for you and all you want, but not everyone is as content being s-on as you.
Uh this isn't the HTC One X days. You dont need a computer to flash roms or any other tweaks.
For as the devs.. I never said S-Off was useless I said it's not important as getting root and flashing roms which is probly the main priority to get access to first rather than S-Off.

Yeah if you always want to flash roms with stock kernels, most of us dont like the stock kernels so yes you would need a computer. Access was gained before the phones were even released, but if your content with s-on that is your prerogative to settle for that, as is ours to want s-off and not settle.
For the life of me I have no clue why people content with s-on always seem to question people that want s-off. This post has nothing to do with deciding is s-off is not needed by anyone, its to talk about gaining s-off.
If your happy with s-on then please go post on forums where others are happy being s-on...

Isnt that only on the verizon version m8 though ? Not sure everything I have found on searches just shows the verizon version m8. If it works on the at&t version m8 now that would be what I"am wanting. Also I was told weaksauce only works on the verizon version also. Which weaksauce is supposed to let you switch back to stock very easily I think as easy as uninstalling the app. Now that is just pure genius.
I wish there was a one click root app for at&t, I'd use the toolkit but I have a mac

Yea...I don't want to use HTC Dev Unlock. Just curious if anyone else was able to get it working without htc dev unlock.
Thanks though.

Do you just not want your device to be logged or something?

I got burned on the M7 with that and the camera issue. Even though the camera issue was a known F up on HTC's part, they tried to charge me 200 bucks to fix it because I was unlocked. Only way they knew I was unlocked was because of HTC Dev, because the device was sent to them completely stock. I ruu'd back to stock before sending it to them.
This is my work phone, so I don't pay for it, therefore I'd like to be able to hide the fact that I've knowingly "voided" the warranty.
PS. I complained enough and got up high enough the food chain that they offered to fix my phone, however by then my digitizer died and the M8 came out.
