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. soffbin3 is not GPL and may not be reused, integrated into other work, reposted, or redistributed without our permission.

For this to work, you must be rooted and have superCID (unlock/custom recovery is optional), see the threads below for help and information regarding obtaining superCID, unlock, root, etc. Note these threads are provided for convenience only. Please look for support for them in each respective thread if you need it, do NOT clutter this thread with support requests regarding obtaining superCID and/or root! If you try this process without superCID, it will not work, and you may have issues!:

SuperCID for HTC One VX:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2161402

Download modified boot.img:
http://d-h.st/NDT (mirror http://androidfiles.org/securekey.php?file=TotemC2/s-off/OneVX-rescure.img)

Download signed firmware:
http://androidfiles.org/securekey.php?file=TotemC2/s-off/rom.zip 481722658bfc79cab4c9d92d819da655 (Do not worry, as long as you have superCID this will not flash and data will not be wiped)

1)

2)

(wait for black HTC Screen)

3)

(This will take some time, time will be reduce once someone provides me with an update.zip from an OTA)

After a while, You should see the following error “FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)”

7) Immediately issue the following command:

(this is fastboot boot, NOT fastboot flash!)

8)

9) You should see what you are looking for!

If you need help or just care to say thanks, join us on IRC: #FacePalm http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=facepalm

Enjoy.

Thanks! S-off now and working on recovery

and I no longer have it, you will either have to hunt it down, or try a new solution like SunShine (which im not sure works on this phone, worth a try)
