Not trying to sound sarcastic but I almost took your post as a flame. Thank you dude for clarification. Sometimes in context we look like asshats and really I didn't mean to offend. **toast**

I really can't seem to find the connection everyone is making between s-off and aosp. Is he only reason better dev appeal?

I guess. And I am also beginning to think some device that people came from (Evo 4G/ Dinc maybe? I was on us cellular before so I didn't have either of those) flashed a different radio for AOSP and they think that needs to be repeated.

I came from the dinc and that was not the case, we would flash rom/kernel. if wanted we could flash radios separately regardless of rom being sense or aosp

I simply cannot understand why people are buying HTC phones with Sense if they want AOSP. It was the same thing on the Inc too. I wouldn't buy a Ferrari in hopes of putting a Lamborghini motor in it.

Probably because it's the best phone out for verizon right now.
Gnexus - bad radios
Razr - Locked bootloader

Lamborghini makes a sick V12 though that would be awesome in an Italia. I drove an Italia once and it was one of the coolest things I have ever done but it could use a bit more kick.

I buy Htc because traditionally you could run sense or aosp.

Simple answer there, we like HTC hardware, but not it's software... AOSP just runs smoother on any device. Can't blame people for picking what they like hardware wise.

I bought the Rezound because I came from the Eris and was running AOSP (CM6 and CM7) on that.. plus the Rezound is such a nice phone that I just knew it was only a matter of time before we would have AOSP on here too. I'm not at all complaining though about lack of AOSP right now though because honestly I am very happy with my phone as it currently is. Once there IS an AOSP RIL that works, my personal goal is to attempt to port Team EOS AOSP to my Rezound.

The android community sure likes car metaphors ;) and what about all those people who bought touchpads and wanted android?

All valid points. The hardware is definitely better. The razr is ok, but what a crappy screen. Maybe its because I've never run miui or cm anything. Who knows, I could be totally missing out.

The tabs I think are a little different story. Aren't they mostly AOSP, except for the flyer of course?

I bought this phone because it's more powerful than the Nexus and I assumed we would have AOSP eventually just like the Inc.

Was playing around on my old incredible 2 and reading the 4ext recovery thread there....., Once the other requests are done we may see 4ext recovery on rezound one day.

Another thing to look forward to ....potentially that is.

    We were sworn to confidentiality until the exploit is released....

    But yes, it works! I have seen it first hand.

    But YES, S-OFF is coming your way once that team perfects the process. This I can assure.


    This is all I can and will say. If I say too much HTC could close the loophole. Just like every other exploit... So dont be upset that I cannot give details.

    The key word is hacked. If you don't want the risk of running hacked software then don't root. Or get an iphone. Otherwise grow a set of testicles or don't post.
    And Wtf is up with all this crying? They will release when they are ready. Otherwise figure it out for yourself. It's that simple.
    I notice the biggest problem makers on xda are people who contribute nothing and expect everything.
    Just saying..
    Rant over

    Excellent. I just achieved s-off on the second try, after drinking since 2 this afternoon on the golf course. Was running the ICS Leak before doing the s-off method. Steps I took, if it helps anyone:

    1. Downloaded the proper file for my situation.
    2. Unzipped contents, placed the 3 files in the same folder as ADB/Fastboot.
    3. Removed sd card I normally use, replaced with original Dinc sd card.
    4. With phone booted normally into BAMF Evita 2.0, hooked up USB cable.
    5. Went into folder containing s-off files and ran Controlbear as administrator.
    6. Watched it do its thing and did the "wire trick" when prompted.
    7. Phone rebooted a few times, ultimately booting into the rom I was using.
    8. Replaced SD card that I normally use, and wrote this post.

    This is what worked for me, your experience may vary.

    I dunno con it probably would of been better if they sent out private invites to beta test this instead of making it public. You cant open a thread and expect people to not post. Plus we have members flaunting off s-off that doesnt help matters either.

    I don't agree. They aren't members of the Rez community so they don't know who to invite. Plus, they wanted testers as soon as possible and waiting for people to respond to emails/PM would take alot longer. If you ask in a thread for people not to post, people should be able to listen. If you can't follow simple instructions you don't deserve S-OFF. I don't understand why it is so hard for people to sit down, shut up, and just wait. Most people are adults here. I am amazed that alot of people can't act like one. People flaunting S-OFF? They risked a $600 device to people they don't even know. You should be greatful that some people were willing to test and spend alot of time helping to improve the process. It is also nice to have several different people proving that it works. It is also important that people are starting S-OFF only threads like the splash screen thread. If work on that stuff doesn't start now, everyone is gonna S-OFF their device when the process is released and have nothing to do with it. It will be a hurry up and wait situation. It is also MUCH less annoying than your continued complaints about not having AOSP, the continued pestering of developers on how RIL is going, and the general vibe that I get from you about how you would have rather had a Nexus. Please just wait patiently. If you don't agree with me, please take it to PM, I am happy to talk with you there. However we need to get this back on topic.

    So i cleaned the thread.

    I would rather not have to do it again.

    So how about from here on out you take your trolling of one another to PM. If you have an issue that you can't get worked out or you think someone is doing something they shouldn't get a hold of a moderator. This is a much better idea than trying to prove people wrong or prove that you have the biggest e-peen.

    The "issue" is currently handled, please continue with the rest of your evening.
