Worked great for me without a hitch. S-OFF on the first try. Running the latest Viper, Cubed 3.1.3, and CWM. Thanks for all the hard work!

The instructions say no such thing. If this is a required step, you might want to mention it in the tutorial. I'm sweating right now because I sure didn't flash a 2nd time, but I did follow the directions and continue to "fastboot oem boot" and I've been looking at the HTC quietly brilliant screen for WAY too long.
Code:
6.)
Code:
fastboot flash zip <appropriate zip filename from above>
After a while, You should see the following error “FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)”
7.) Immediately issue the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem bootUPDATE 1: Got tired of waiting so I rebooted by holding power and next time around it booted so and I was able to continue.
UPDATE 2 (~3:08AM): A while later... Still no S-Off. Everything looks to be working as expected accept I was getting error 99 and based on recomendations I flashed to a "stock" ROM (here) and tried again. This time I get error 92 AND soffbin3 prompted me for root so I figured I was golden, but bootloader STILL shows S-ON. Per advice from IRC I also tried to "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" before "fastboot flash zip ...". DNA Guys sol?
UPDATE 3 (~5:05AM): I'm at a complete loss. Here's my last attempt for the night after flashing a new kernel and modules based on THIS post and I'm still S-ON. Touchy ADB drivers aren't helping matters. Please advise.

Done for now. I'm told it's this failure to reboot that's killing me.
[/FONT]UPDATE 4 (~5:52AM): In case I was missing something obvious I've spent the last hour with some guy on IRC who has a serious superiority complex (guess saying as much is redundant to "on IRC") and aside from adding one step to wipe fastboot cache, he just looped me through all the steps I'd already done at least 8 times and I'm still in the exact same position I was when I started. "fastboot oem boot" resets my device then it just hangs there. Apparently this is what's stopping me though. I've noticed quite a few others mention this issue but am yet to see a guaranteed solution. If anyone figures this out, you'll likely help a LOT of DNA owners.
Now that I've given up most of my sleep and have nothing to show for it personally, I'm hoping to catch a wink and let someone else use all that I've reported here to pick up the ball and run with it. If someone finds the solution and is willing to drop me a PM, I'd be grateful. Will be too busy with wife and kids to sift through new posts any time soon (hence doing this when I should be sleeping).
Best of luck to the rest of you.

From a tech standpoint of does this solve anything to allow aosp to run... true.. but I thought I read somewhere that cm won't even try to support a device that isn't s off... so in theory it does and hence the op is right but probably not for the reasons they intended lol
obviously I'm not saying cm will support this phone but at least it would now be up for consideration.
Re: [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA
Did you run the "fastboot flash zip" command twice?
If you're getting error 99 try booting into recovery and simply doing a data/cache wipe "factory reset"... I think the reason some are getting hung on the splash screen is your data partition becomes corrupt. My first attempt led me to the same place.. except mine would fully boot then freeze at the lock screen! I rebooted to recovery, wiped, then started the process over. This time I ended up with error 92"the error you want to see". Only run the flash zip command once then proceed to the next step.
Btw: I know the data is corrupt because during the process of being frozen I made a backup... Once s-off I restored that backup which on reboot froze on the lock screen! So for error 99 folks.... Wipe data! I'm also on cwr(non-touch).

I have SC Hatka 3.0.0 Build 2, based off the Update before I tried this, did this method, had CID 111111111, and now have S-Off with a ROM based off the OTA. I can confirm that this method does work for the people who did the original unlock bootloader methods. S-Off rocks!
yessssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
YEssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
FINALLY!!!!

OK, so I had the white screen with the red lettering freeze up yesterday, fastboot oem boot kept spitting up a "Failed : unkown error"
I tried EVERYTHING.
CWM, 3 different versions, 2 different TWRP's. I went on irc chat for advice and tried setting 22222222 via writecid, nothing.
I tried 2 laptops 6 different USB ports and still nothing.
So, I took beaups advice and re-locked (fastboot oem lock) and then flashed the RUU that is floating around to get back to stock everything.
Once that completed I unlocked again (had to get a new bin file from HTC, the original one did not work) but the new one did.
Then I took the VZ OTA (the new update) and let that finish.
Once that was done I flashed TWRP in fastboot and then flashed Superuser in recovery.
Got the phone rooted and running like I wanted. Then went through this process this morning after charging overnight (and besides, my head was ready to explode last night, lol) and on the first try this morning I got S-off!!
Dont know if anyone else tried what I just did but like I said I tried every damn thing yesterday and nothing worked, this method did for me.
Thanks to the Dev team for getting this out there and for all the help and support from everyone

While tring to reinstall the drivers a window pops up saying can't copy """"""" wdfCoInstaller01007.sol""""""" but installs the rest of the drivers fine but after fastboot flash zip PL8320000.zip come up with """"error 99""""" I'm clueless??????
I hope you realize that was a joke right? MY "CAPS" were not obvious enough?!? lol
*sigh*
I just want to take an opportunity to thank EVERYONE who was involved in making this a reality to all of us. The HTC Droid DNA came out Oct. 21st of 2012 & in just under 4 months we have S-OFF achieved. Just incredible!!! This is proof of the diligence & hard work of the people who were able to get this to work not just on the HTC Droid DNA, but also the HTC One XL & One S.
Kudos to the excellent work & you ALL should be proud of your achievement.
Again Thank you!!!

Your original problem was that when you flashed the p8300000-dna zip the first time you got error 92 (which is what you wanted) then you flashed it again and got error 99 (which is what you don't want) your not supposed to flash it twice
Try restoring a nandroid that's how I fixed it

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. The binary contained in DNA-rescue.img is not GPL and may not be reused, integrated into other work, reposted, or redistributed without our permission. The kernel portion of DNA-rescue.img is derived from unmodified HTC source. That source code can be obtained from htcdev.
For this to work, you must be HTCdev unlocked and have superCID (custom recovery/root is optional), see the thread below for help and information regarding obtaining superCID, unlock, etc. If you have taken the OTA for the DNA (sw version 2.xx) without FIRST obtaining superCID, there is no superCID nor s-off method for you currently. Note this thread is provided for convenience only. Please look for support for superCID/unlock in it's proper thread, do NOT clutter this thread with support requests regarding obtaining superCID and/or unlock! If you try this process without superCID, it will not work, and you may have issues:

Getting an error 99 instead of error 92 after step 3?
Perform a few FULL power-downs and boots. Also, others have reported clearing caches in recovery helps as well.13rainabba,
This is not an OPEN DEVELOPMENT community, this is a public development community. We made decisions not to obfuscate what is going on, so the community could learn, but choose to keep the rights and source to the project. It is free for personal use, but not opensource and not free to distribute.
Hell I remember you flipping out over someone distributing a GPL licensed binary you compiled, you have no room to talk here.
You like to cause problems with any AndIRC related project (time and time again), you have issues with us it is very clear, but I'm going to ask you nicely to just go away. If you don't like how we handle our projects, go create your own instead of complaining.
Every instance so far where someone has had this issue AND succeeded seems to require AT LEAST wiping data, but sometimes as much as an RUU flash to stock, and at worst, a complete RUU, re-lock, and start from scratch as if the phone was fresh out of the box.
---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------
Why do you people keep insisting this? Because the OP "demanded" that nobody do it? That won't hold water and so far I can't see any reason a one-click can't be made. It might not be safe and since only the noobs would "need" it, it's likely a bad idea, but there are those like myself who will often create such scripts because they end up being useful for any number of reasons and I'll be damned if someone things that in an OPEN DEVELOPMENT community, that something like a SCRIPT won't be released because someone said so.
Your reply to this person is offensive on so many levels. You could at least take time to explain yourself (or link to such an explanation).8Now that you guys have S-OFF, you can use my RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer!
Just have someone make a plugin for the HTC One <insert model here> and then customize away!
