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

I keep getting device offline... Daemon starts then error: device offline. I haven't used adb for a while so I updated the environment last night. I'm no noob at adb. I see several with cm10.1 have successfully done this as well. I'm facepalming cause I know I'm missing something stupid.

Running ruu after s-off then 're-unlocked bootloader. Super cid stays the same even after ruu. Once unlocked again tampered seal goes away. Incase you guys want to get it gone.

This sounds great, but unfortunately it's a bit short on detail for most of us noobs... :(

it just means when you ruu, reunlock and flash a rom "Tampered" wont show up like it did before S-OFF if you don't understand that then i guess you are pretty noobish.
enjoy the noob thought process brought to you by SMILIES -> :confused::silly::fingers-crossed::victory::angel:

After achieving s-off. All you need to do is use the "fastboot oem lock" command in terminal/cmd, download the 2.20 ruu found on xda. Windows only. Reboot bootloader.Run the ruu. After its done, "fastboot oem unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
're-Install your recovery,flash your Rom.///payday///
You must have your unlock token already,or know how to get it.

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

I flashed a splash zip with s-off on 1.14hb but the red HTC is still popping up. Any suggestions? My search button is acting funny or I'd search for it.

The new adb has protection where if the phone is cycled it needs to be reauthenticated. You may have to put your computer on the white list. Not sure if this is your problem or not.

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

Been trying this all afternoon. My model number is 8310000. I keep getting error 99 instead of error 92, and if I continue, I get segmentation fault when trying to run the su -c command on soffbin3. Running viper xl ics. Anyone can offer up some help?

Not true.... I'm on AOKP 4.2.2 and this worked with ZERO issues.

If people did their research, read through the directions CAREFULLY, and then proceeded with caution making sure to make no mistakes, there would be ZERO problems with doing this. Its just so simple...... *FacePalm*

    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!!

    we will add more hoxl model id's and zips shortly
