What version of 4EXT have you used to try this? You tried what hasoon suggested (rebooting to bootloader after flashing rom and using the kernel flasher from PC)? What kind of "wire" did you use when getting S-OFF?

so is it just me, or is the wire trick a pain in the neck to pull off? i got a nice short piece of solid core insulated wire and still cant get it right...

on top of that my phone refuses to boot now, just goes right to the download sign, hboot still works so i guess i can always re RUU it worst case

any tips?

E: of course the moment I complain is the moment it finally works, awesome!

I have tried every recovery every rom from here and x's site with no luck. I did install the modified hboot during s-off don't know if that related to those having problems and those not.

what kind of wire did you use? if it was un-insulated you could have shorted the phone...


also, didnt you say you formatted the partitions? could you have scrambled the partiton tables?

Insulated wire. The phone booted up fine after the process. Used it for an hour or so. After that went to instal another rom and now nothing will work. I appreciate the feedback, but I have tried everything that has been mentioned before I started posting. Tried every recovery, every rom, tried flashing from adb, flashing from amaze tool with different recoverys and different kernels, wiping and rebooting between each. Going to bed now. I think my amaze days are over been nothing but a hassle. On the bright side my phone is S-OFF....lmfao

I made a little video for people who wanted something to see first, before they try it.

thanks to everyone in the JuopunutBear IRC chat for the support.

Where are you guys getting the wire to do this from? Just a normal speaker wire or another place?

20 awg solid core wire you can get from home depot ( doorbell wire) . cut a long piece so you have about 6 inches and you can do it easy.

Yeah I just used some wire cutters and clipped a few inches off the end of a speaker wire.

Myself and quite a few people used a small coated paperclip with the ends stripped clean. Worked like a charm.
