Firewater S-OFF

themetrio · Feb 2, 2014

I can't post or leave a comment in development thread cause I'm a "newer member" (lower than 10 posts) so I create a thread in this category.

Consider my post cause it could help us to reach S-OFF.
Does Firewater S-OFF method help us?
I think yes cause it talks about "qualcomm-based" devices. Anyone tried it? I will try in a few hours!

Tell me or consider this post.

Great find.

Unfortunately closed-source but supposedly works on all Qualcomm-based HTC devices. In theory it should work on our device. Please let us know if you achieve S-OFF without the boot vibrations that happens with Rumrunner S-OFF: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2630531

exit 1 status

I tried but when i had to confirm with "Yes" or "No" the agree terms of condition It returns "1".

I think I get an error and in fact I have S-ON.

EDIT: This is what i get.

Do you understand the implications of these warnings?

Don't know this one yet, can't check right now. I'll wait for official rumrunner S-OFF for our device, which will come in the next days.

Yeah it doesn't work.

It returns ''hmm....why are you here exactly?'' and does nothing.

I talked to him on freenode#firewater and che said that desire isn't modern, so its method doesn't work.

But his talking about desire (bravo) or desire x (protou)?

HTC Desire X || Android 4.1.2 || mySENSEdx5 RC4.0

I: "It doesn't work on HTC Desire X rooted and with unlocked boot loader."
He: "Correct. Desire x != modern"

This is the little conversation.

DX is not supported.

Guys you should try Rumrunner S-OFF. There is a dedicated thread in Desire X Android development section.

Rumrunner S-OFF

Now that we have a working S-OFF for the Desire X, is this likely to help improve the development situation as far as getting a fully working CM 10.1/CM 10.2 goes?

No. S-off doesn't help in any development, but kernel & recovery flashing would become much easier as we can flash kernels & recoveries directly from recovery, no need of pc

And you can also change the size of partitions and bootup logo.

Like you can split an hdd in partitions and set them a size, name etc. also android has its partitions to work on: one for bootloader, one for kernel, one for system, etc.
Changing the size it means you can set to which partition you want custom size, for ex. you can change /system partition size to 1mb and you will not be never able to boot a rom, for example..

There's an app to do this? Or from recovery?

It has to be done outside the phone on a PC. You have to extract the hboot, modify the image, and flash it back to the phone. Back at my old phone, the HTC Aria, we got someone in our forums who wrote a tool for that. But I doubt that it'll be much use for us. For the HTC Aria, it was important to get CM greater or equal 9 running because system partition was too small.
