Great, thanks for the info! How about for the stock ROM? I don't really want to loose everything now, then again when ICS is fully released.

I still had a stock ROM when I did it, but I didn't lose any data from it. Some people seem to lose data from their SD cards, but when I was done everything was as it should be. I made a backup of my SD card just in case, but ended up not needing it. I am not sure what causes some peoples SD cards to get erased, but not others though.

Nope only says ***UNLOCKED*** not JuopunutBear hboot

Correction.. you do not have to have the JuopunutBear hboot to be s-off.

If your bootlader says S-OFF, you are S-OFF. Simple as that.

The JuopunutBear bootloader is optional.

It only reads it as 108KB now..

Put it in your computer and reformat it. Uncheck the "Quick Reformat" box.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but can we achieve S-off now if we are already running the new Ics update?

It has not been confirmed by the s-off team so dont try

When I did the S-off method I thought that will unlock the network to use another sim card but it's the same
So I unlocked the bootloader, root my phone and s-off it and after all of that it still sim locked

alright so i dont know what i'm doing wrong. I had to reformat my laptop a while ago so i lost all my drivers and stuff so i'm trying to redo it all right now. I installed java, android SDK, got the HTC drivers from the AIO app, flashed stock recovery with AIO, flashed stock t-mboile kernel, plugged in my phone and ran the bear app. it started, rebooted the phone, and then i get "connect device and install drivers, press ENTER to exit.." and the phone sits at the htc splash screen. If i power the phone down, it wont launch to the OS now, only to the 'relocked' screen. How do i Get past this point, i feel like im missing something simple? should i have some file on my phone itself? im feeling dejected haha

can someone help me?

if your bootloader is "re-locked" then you need to follow the steps mentioned in this thread multiple times about how to get back into recovery, then you need to HTC Dev UNLOCK your phone again, and start over...

sim lock is completely different, just buy an unlock code from ebay, they are like 3.50USD or cheaper... then all you need is a non-TMO sim card to reboot with, then it will ask you for the unlock code...

I used a small paper clip cuz the hole is tiny, and just wrapped it with electrical tape and it worked on the first try with v0.1. I read the thread and all these people were having problems with v0.2 so I went with the older one, it did wipe my SD but I had it backed up so no biggie. I would back up both internal and external memory just to be safe.
Also watching the video that djannes posted quite a few pages back helped, I counted just like in the video, did a few dry runs before actually attempting it too lol. Worked like a charm

Shorter in length worked better for me. When I didn't cut the paper clip in half, sometimes making the contact didn't result in Grounding of the pin. After it was cut 2/3 -1/2 in length it gave a consistent contact every touch.

So is there a reason that every time I try and run control bear it doesnt start up, and it disappears so I have to extract it all over and start again? I don't understand why I can run ADB commands with no problem, but this refuses to run. I have gotten it to say old beer detected once, and then the window just closes before it does anything. I have it in the same folder as ADB and fastboot etc. I've been using ADB and such since the g1 days, so not a total noob. I've tried it from my desktop and from the root of my C: drive. What am I doing wrong?

I had this happen as well and it turned out that my Norton software was seeing controlbear as a threat so I had to go make an exception for it then it ran just fine.

musky · Apr 25, 2012

Hooray

Norton was the problem. Made an exception, and got the wire trick on my second try!!!! S-off now, let the games begin! Thanks!
