that means i have to firstly s-on and then unlock bootloader through htcdev .......??????
NOOOOO! Just install Towelroot, and in adb obtain a shell session using the commands "adb devices" then "adb shell". then after obtain root privileges by typing "su" in the shell, after that run this command in the shell "echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796" (you should probably copy and paste that). After type "exit" and reboot into your bootloader. You are now bootloader unlocked and rooted no recovery needed. Now you should install SuperSU from the playstore for safety
You can get TowelRoot here https://towelroot.com/ just install it and run it and click "make it rain", the xda thread says it doesnt work on newer htc phones but since youre s-off it doesn't matter. I used this method to unlock my S-Off phone and everthing worked fine
No u dont have to. Just unlock the bootloader thru htcdev. Make a backup bec unlocking the bootloader will erase everything on ur phonethat means i have to firstly s-on and then unlock bootloader through htcdev .......??????

To avoid bootloop, i sugguest that u delete the hcheck file or rename it first then unlock the bootloaderi think through this method i will loss my data and probably my phone will bootloop cause of "hcheck" file ....cause i read somewhere that because of hcheck file in bin\system.... phone can only obtain one state at a time unlock and s-on or locked and s-off........correct me if i m wrong

i m so confused after installing towelroot and after clicking make it rain ........after sometime it says u should have root access and i checked with rootchecker app it says congratulation u have root access...........how??????
adb means i have to give the commands in fastboot mode ........
Didnt know abt that. I thought it was only for rooting ur phoneIf you are S-OFF you can run those commands in adb after running Towelroot with your phone rooted to unlock your bootloader with out having to wipe your phone

To use that command you must enable USB Debugging in developers options. No need to go into fastboot

Good to knowIt is only for rooting your phone. But in order to unlock your phone without having to wipe it (if youre s-off) you can run those commands in adb except they need root, thats what Towelroot is for.
hey man can u give me the instruction for s-on my device ..........i want to unlock through htcdev(proper way)......if u dont mind
cause if my phone is s-on'd it would never be hard brick .......
Unless you do something really stupid, it is quite hard to brick your phone while S-Off, flashing roms, kernels, and recoverys wont brick your device. With S-Off you can use most root apps on the PlayStore without having a custom kernel, also with s-off it allows you to flash roms in recovery with out having to flash the kernel manually.
Dont do it. If u update the kk and it goes wrong with s-on, u cant downgrade hboot. U get stuck and theres no way to fix ur device. I notice that people have trouble updating the kk bec it fails. with s-off u can always fix issues. Its more safe than s-onhey man can u give me the instruction for s-on my device ..........i want to unlock through htcdev(proper way)......if u dont mind
thnxx mate for opening my eyes :cyclops:hahahaha
can u tell me how to run the adb i forgot the steps ..........i enabled usb debugging .....can i have to copy the SDK's platform-tool folder to c:\ .......and after this i dont remember ??????sorry
that means i have to firstly s-on and then unlock bootloader through htcdev .......??????
Plz give me the steps how to do it
