Concur. 3D is so gimmicky imho, the idea to try and incorporate it into a phone was innovative, but silly.

ever played with an evo 3d? i gotta admit that 3d **** is neat. i have a couple friends with stock ones,and they both love em. from a modder/rooter/rommer's standpoint it is gimicky and makes it harder to keep the phone on the most current OS,and difficult to keep all the stock features when building AOSP from source.

but if your the average joe who could give a crap wether your phone runs 2.3 or 4.0 its a fun phone to have although cosmetically i personally dont think they are very sexy.

i had a sprint version i played with for awhile,and traded it off... been looking for a gsm one ever since,but theyre apparently not to common in the us.

so the process uses insulated wire instead of the early rumors of paperclips......

Is the other team still working on their version and if so does it differ?

Only reason I ask is I thought there was mention of another team working on a method and that theirs didn't require shorting things out. Then again maybe it was just a difference in terminology.

    We were sworn to confidentiality until the exploit is released....

    But yes, it works! I have seen it first hand.

    But YES, S-OFF is coming your way once that team perfects the process. This I can assure.


    This is all I can and will say. If I say too much HTC could close the loophole. Just like every other exploit... So dont be upset that I cannot give details.

    The key word is hacked. If you don't want the risk of running hacked software then don't root. Or get an iphone. Otherwise grow a set of testicles or don't post.
    And Wtf is up with all this crying? They will release when they are ready. Otherwise figure it out for yourself. It's that simple.
    I notice the biggest problem makers on xda are people who contribute nothing and expect everything.
    Just saying..
    Rant over

    Excellent. I just achieved s-off on the second try, after drinking since 2 this afternoon on the golf course. Was running the ICS Leak before doing the s-off method. Steps I took, if it helps anyone:

    1. Downloaded the proper file for my situation.
    2. Unzipped contents, placed the 3 files in the same folder as ADB/Fastboot.
    3. Removed sd card I normally use, replaced with original Dinc sd card.
    4. With phone booted normally into BAMF Evita 2.0, hooked up USB cable.
    5. Went into folder containing s-off files and ran Controlbear as administrator.
    6. Watched it do its thing and did the "wire trick" when prompted.
    7. Phone rebooted a few times, ultimately booting into the rom I was using.
    8. Replaced SD card that I normally use, and wrote this post.

    This is what worked for me, your experience may vary.

    I dunno con it probably would of been better if they sent out private invites to beta test this instead of making it public. You cant open a thread and expect people to not post. Plus we have members flaunting off s-off that doesnt help matters either.

    I don't agree. They aren't members of the Rez community so they don't know who to invite. Plus, they wanted testers as soon as possible and waiting for people to respond to emails/PM would take alot longer. If you ask in a thread for people not to post, people should be able to listen. If you can't follow simple instructions you don't deserve S-OFF. I don't understand why it is so hard for people to sit down, shut up, and just wait. Most people are adults here. I am amazed that alot of people can't act like one. People flaunting S-OFF? They risked a $600 device to people they don't even know. You should be greatful that some people were willing to test and spend alot of time helping to improve the process. It is also nice to have several different people proving that it works. It is also important that people are starting S-OFF only threads like the splash screen thread. If work on that stuff doesn't start now, everyone is gonna S-OFF their device when the process is released and have nothing to do with it. It will be a hurry up and wait situation. It is also MUCH less annoying than your continued complaints about not having AOSP, the continued pestering of developers on how RIL is going, and the general vibe that I get from you about how you would have rather had a Nexus. Please just wait patiently. If you don't agree with me, please take it to PM, I am happy to talk with you there. However we need to get this back on topic.

    So i cleaned the thread.

    I would rather not have to do it again.

    So how about from here on out you take your trolling of one another to PM. If you have an issue that you can't get worked out or you think someone is doing something they shouldn't get a hold of a moderator. This is a much better idea than trying to prove people wrong or prove that you have the biggest e-peen.

    The "issue" is currently handled, please continue with the rest of your evening.
