What HBoot version are you on now? If you are on 2.21 and GB it will cause issues.
2.21 exactly. I'm sort of a noob here. Please, briefly, what to do with it?

I doubt it. The wire trick will be needed unless a new method is figured out.Will there be an easier process or is this as easy as its gonna get?
You need to READ the first post.. It has that question answer in the Prerequisite section.

use a paper clip man. works perfectly
After 45 minutes of wrangling a tiny wire with my fat fingers, i now have S-off.
I've been trying all night with no luck yet. Now when I re-format my sd card it only says I have 128 KB to format on a 32g card. This is the first time it said this.
for some reason I ran into this too...
i downloaded the "hp storage disk format tool" via google and then I ran it, it told me it was locked... got pissed off, took it out of the pc, put it back in, boom... it worked. It's fixable, just keep messing with it, google is your friend too...

After I did the wire trick, the program printed a lot of "Success" about beers on the screen, and then ended with "S-OFF Failed" and now I can't boot my phone, and can't get the program to start again.
What should I try next?
Prerequisites said:Prerequisites
In order to use JuopunutBear you must meet the following pre-requisites:
Be unlocked using the HTCdev bootloader unlock
Be rooted (have superuser and/or an unsecured boot image installed)
Have a spare microSD card, or to have backed up all contents of your SDcard
Have fastboot and adb drivers installed and working (windows)
Have usb debugging enabled
Have a legth of insulated wire of sufficient length to join the contact points for your device. See images and videos for device specific information.
Instructions said:Instructions
(Optional) Perform a full backup and replace your sdcard with one that you are willing to wipe.
Ensure that your battery is fully charged.
Choose the correct download for your device and operating system
Extract the zip file to a new directory
Verify the MD5 checksum for your download
Read and/or watch the video for the device specific information for your device
Run controlbear as admin(windows) or root or using sudo on linux
Follow the on-screen instructions from ControlBear
Do not press any of the buttons on the phone during the process.
After doing the “wire-trick” yor phone will reboot. The sequence of the reboot may vary somewhat from that you see in the videos as these were taken during various stages of development.
If you see the following message from ControlBear after doing the wire trick:
ErrorMsg: Still sober.
This means that you have been unsuccessful in implementing the wire-trick. Run ControlBear again.
The usual casue for this is that you failed to perform 2 clean contacts or mistimed the wire trick.
Your phone will reboot several times during the process, this is normal. ControlBear will tell you when it has finished whether sucessfully or not.
Wire Trick said:Wire Trick
The “wire trick” is an essential part of the JuopunutBear S-OFF procedure.
When instructed to do so by the program you must perform the “wire trick” which is done as follows.
Obtain an insulated wire of appropriate length and gauge
Insert one end of the wire into the hole where pin 1 is indicated in the picture below, ensuring that a firm contact it made with the metal contact at the bottom of the hole
Briefly touch to other end of the wire to the contact marked GND in the picture below.
Wait approximately 1.75 seconds and then again touch the wire to the marked GND.
Allow the program to continue.
Note: it may take several attempts of running the program in order to obtain the correct timing for the wire trick.
The contact points for the “wire trick” are shown in the picture below.
Fix for external SD is as follows:
- Install busybox
- adb shell busybox fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1
- type o
- type w
- adb shell busybox fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1
- type n
- select primary, then 1
- chose default sizes
- type w
- adb shell busybox mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
For those of you having problems with internal storage, my apologies. We accidentally included the GB hboot.
