Faster response on S-Off

Is it just me or S-Off really makes everyone devices like 5x faster

Previously my phone is not very smooth and used to hiccup a lot and now it feels like it is on steroids :fingers-crossed:

Is anyone still able to fastboot flash radios since doing this? I don't seem to be able to do it anymore, I keep getting "remote not allowed" fail. I can still flash the radio zips through recovery though so not a huge problem.

Something Wrong

Folks, I understand the instructions are straight forward and simple, However; I am unable to achieve S-Off, I have gone every route including re-installing, MY HTC windows drivers, re-rooted my device, Ran the X_Factor_Windows exploit, and Copy and paste line by line up to and including Applied the error 99 fix and no luck.

Perhaps a brighter light can illuminate something amiss.

Please advise,
tyfoxx

Have you tried dropping the s-off materials in the same folder you called to install your recovery?
So it should be something like, on my pc I use cd/android. Once my android folder is called. It already has fastboot, adb items inside the folder. So once it's opened, I run the s-off exploit from that folder. I just call the folder, then add exploit lines. Bam S-OFF. Copy and paste commands from OP, instead of typing them.

Thanks, I'm sure that is how I have it. I only have one working folder.

Are you running a ROM? I was on CM10.1 and I never go it to work. Did a NANDroid backup and flashed VenomXL. Worked just fine. Then went back to CM10.1.

Re: [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA

So I s-off'd the day it came out and when I relocked my bootloader and ran the ruu then obtained root again. I got the htc dev red bootsplash to go away on the stock Rom with twrp recovery. but when I flashed viper 3.2.3 again it came back. any idea?

I can't seem to get past step 6. I type in "fastboot oem rebootRUU" and all I get is < waiting for device > and my phone just sits in the bootloader. Any ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind... it appears that Windows 8 really mucks up driver acquisition (for at least this phone). I not only had to install the driver manually when the phone was on, but I had to manually force the driver install while it was in Fastboot mode.

Got to love Microsoft!

S-Off complete! Thanks a million!

    note: updated 2/20 @ 9:20 EST, better ICS compatibility.

    Welcome to Facepalm S-Off for the HTC One XL.

    Credits and terms:

    Exploit by beaups. Full guide, testing, and concept by jcase and beaups. Thanks to dsb9938 and dr_drache for support and testing. Thanks also to all of the regulars at teamandirc.

    Both beaups and jcase will collect the applicable active bounties. Further donations are greatly appreciated and can be sent to:

    beaups - Donate to beaups
    jcase - Donate to jcase
    dsb9938 - Donate to dsb9938
    dr_drache - Donate to dr_drache


    You can also come by irc for support or just to say thanks: #FacePalm http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=facepalm

    While this process shouldn’t be too risky, bricks can happen. None of us will be accountable. If you are worried, don’t do it.

    This is a pretty simple method, however, you will need to have a working adb and fastboot environment. This method will work on any operating system that supports adb and fastboot. You should understand how to use a terminal window in your O/S. If you don’t understand adb and fastboot, you probably don’t need S-off.

    Lastly, the work herein should not be stolen, repackaged, one clicked, bat’d, etc. soffbin3 is not GPL and may not be reused, integrated into other work, reposted, or redistributed without our permission.

    For this to work, you must be rooted and have superCID (unlock/custom recovery is optional), see the threads below for help and information regarding obtaining superCID, unlock, root, etc. Note these threads are provided for convenience only. Please look for support for them in each respective thread if you need it, do NOT clutter this thread with support requests regarding obtaining superCID and/or root! If you try this process without superCID, it will not work, and you may have issues!:

    HTC One XL: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952038 (2.2)


    Once you have confirmed you have SuperCID, get started (read it through first so you understand it all):

    1.) Download patcher and unzip it in your working directory:
    soffbin3.zip soffbin3.zip Mirror

    2.) Download the zip below

    OneX.zip = MD5: 99a8eced1010543e12cbd4e4e8f9638f, Mirror

    3.)
    Code: 
    adb reboot bootloader
    (wait for bootloader)

    4.)
    Code: 
    fastboot oem rebootRUU
    (wait for black HTC Screen)

    5.)
    Code: 
    fastboot flash zip PJ8312000-OneX.zip
    After a while, You should see the following error “FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)”

    6.) Immediately issue the following command:

    Code: 
    fastboot oem boot

    You may see some errors, just wait for the device to boot into Android (only now, you should be booted into Android with no eMMC write protection of any kind active).

    7.) Issue the following 3 commands to update the security partition with S-off flags (one command at a time!):

    Code: 
    adb push soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 744 /data/local/tmp/soffbin3
adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"

    (wait for a few seconds)

    8.)
    Code: 
    adb reboot bootloader

    9.) You should see what you are looking for!

    If you need help or just care to say thanks, join us on IRC: #FacePalm http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=facepalm

    Enjoy.

    Fix for error 99, that doesn't involve flashing roms hoping it solves the problem:

    fastboot oem writecid 11111111
    power down completely, go to fastboot
    continue from the fastboot oem rebootRUU command

    thans attn1 and jcase for the help

    Ok folks thanks to c5satelite and other helpful folks at S OFF PARTY AND IRC we figured out how to fix this whole "error 99" shenanigans.


    Step 1. Download the latest stockish ROM (I used Viper 3.2.3)

    Step 2. Boot into bootloader and fastboot flash the kernel.. then reboot back into recovery

    Step 3. Wipe /system and factory reset in TWRP

    Step 4. Install rom in TWRP

    Step 5. For *Viper Only* Don't wipe in Aroma, and uncheck reboot at the end.

    Step 6. Reboot into bootloader from recovery (Don't boot into the ROM)

    Step 7. Follow the instructions in the OP to a T ... read reread.. go get some coffee.. and try again.. hopefully you see Error 92 and not 99

    This worked for me with ViperROM on hboot 2.14

    Thank you to all the folks involved you guys are rockstars from Mars! :highfive:

    For those with PJ8310000 Model IDs, do it anyway. That zip works regardless of One X/XL Model ID.
    I tried it and am now S-Off'd. My Model ID is PJ8310000.

    Also, thanks so much to those involved!!
