Hboots are signed.. Thats why it worked,
Try to make a hboot, Modify it and then flash it..
It will fail dramatically
No. It has nothing to do with it.Is it that little progress bar thing on the right top corner every time it boots? I don't remember seeing that on previous HTC devices. @reviewers, did you get that s-off hboot?

Well, you can flash anything you want to the hboot partition even if its not signed, as Reviewers demonstrated (it'll fail at boot). The signature is checked on boot, not when you're writing to the partition. (That may be what you're trying to say, I dunno) But I knew that when I was flashing and make sure it was signed first. The signature appears to be in the header of the hboot image, just below the versioning information.
Azzle PM me I have to tell you something good ;-)You explained it better than me yes.. Thanks !
This isnt gonna be an easy job, But im sure its gonna happen soon..
Id be lying if i said i knew anything about it... Im my mind its easy lol, Just refer to a similar device, But my head is one massive fairytale land.
I have faith in the devs !! so keep trying and trying !! it will pay off soon
Can someone check the contents of their mmcblk0p8? On the AT&T HTC One X board everyone's appears to be filled with stuff except for one person with S-OFF (His is zeroed out). Mine is also zeroed out, and I'm not sure if it's because of the different device or something else.
Mine is also zeroed out. I'm not familiar with what the purpose of this file is for. What is the info from mmcblk0p8 used for?
You could wait or purchase S-OFF for $200. Which one will it be ;-)

Well, it's actually been confirmed that all modern HTC devices can use this exploit as long as they are running the S4, S3 or S4 pro processors. This even includes the dna and butterfly and likely the upcoming HTC One a.k.a. the M7. The exploit has not been released yet but has been shown to work, so sit tight and relax. If these devs are smart, and I know they are, they will not release the exploit until the One has been released so HTC cannot patch it.so now we know that s-off is not hardware related. a software is nedded to s-off , att HTC One XL confirmed that it can be s-off with that software, and since the att HTC One XL is almost the same phone as the HTC One S s4, S-off can be achived too.
i hope we get s-off soon but with patience
