Thanks. Got the soffbin3 file, and followed instructions, but it didn't work for me on hboot 1.14. Got the right error message the first time I tried, but s was still on after completion, and now it gives me remote: 99 unknown failure on my second attempt. And viper is doing a lot of fc's.

you will have to RUU to fix it, relock, RUU, Unlock, get root and try again

Re: [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA

I have literally read the whole thread from page one. My computer is not finding my phone when I tried to get the model via fastboot, nonetheless boot into bootloader thru comand. When I enter it it gives me the *device not found* error. I updated Android SDK and still the same thing. Any input? Thanks guys

checking the model isn't really important cause if you have a evita and your cid is 11111111 PJ8312000-OneX.zip is the zip you need. after hearing other people talk about error 99 i guess you might need a different rom, also cid 2222222 might be a problem not sure.

I got that also. You have to be running a Sense JB ROM. Flash Viper ROM JB and then try

Re: [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA

Fix for error 99, that doesn't involve flashing roms hoping it solves the problem:

fastboot oem writecid 11111111
power down completely, go to fastboot
continue from the fastboot oem rebootRUU command

thans attn1 and jcase for the help

For everybody having the 99 error message, try this. Actually works! Eventhough my device had cid 11111111 doing this helped! Thanks

this worked for me. thanks. might need this in the OP others having problems to see

You're welcome. I messaged beaups to add it to the OP, he said he would look into it.

so rom isn't a problem only the cid?

I didn't find the solution, but it works and jcase has been using this in IRC tonight. Something about the backup CID not being super. I don't know but I know this works =D

did you kill the current adb also my original post meant you didnt have to use the SDK anymore you can issue a command prompt from any folder and adb/fastboot will work.

I updated and completely shutdown and restarted my computer as SDK update directed me to do. So adb could not have been running in the background.

Re: [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA

I finally got s-off and i'm now rocking hboot 2.14 from hboot 1.14, flashed a different splash screen, got rid of the red text from the splash screen and manage to flash a different radio :highfive:

How you manage to do this??

    You can also come by irc for support or just to say thanks: #FacePalm http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=facepalm

    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!:

    HTC One XL: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952038 (2.2)


    Once you have confirmed you have SuperCID, get started (read it through first so you understand it all):

    1.) Download patcher and unzip it in your working directory:
    soffbin3.zip soffbin3.zip Mirror

    2.) Download the zip below

    OneX.zip = MD5: 99a8eced1010543e12cbd4e4e8f9638f, Mirror

    3.)
    Code:
    adb reboot bootloader
    (wait for bootloader)

    4.)
    Code:
    fastboot oem rebootRUU
    (wait for black HTC Screen)

    5.)
    Code:
    fastboot flash zip PJ8312000-OneX.zip
    After a while, You should see the following error “FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)”

    6.) Immediately issue the following command:

    Code:
    fastboot oem boot

    You may see some errors, just wait for the device to boot into Android (only now, you should be booted into Android with no eMMC write protection of any kind active).

    7.) Issue the following 3 commands to update the security partition with S-off flags (one command at a time!):

    Code:
    adb push soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/
    adb shell chmod 744 /data/local/tmp/soffbin3
    adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"

    (wait for a few seconds)

    8.)
    Code:
    adb reboot bootloader

    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.

    Ok folks thanks to c5satelite and other helpful folks at S OFF PARTY AND IRC we figured out how to fix this whole "error 99" shenanigans.


    Step 1. Download the latest stockish ROM (I used Viper 3.2.3)

    Step 2. Boot into bootloader and fastboot flash the kernel.. then reboot back into recovery

    Step 3. Wipe /system and factory reset in TWRP

    Step 4. Install rom in TWRP

    Step 5. For *Viper Only* Don't wipe in Aroma, and uncheck reboot at the end.

    Step 6. Reboot into bootloader from recovery (Don't boot into the ROM)

    Step 7. Follow the instructions in the OP to a T ... read reread.. go get some coffee.. and try again.. hopefully you see Error 92 and not 99

    This worked for me with ViperROM on hboot 2.14

    Thank you to all the folks involved you guys are rockstars from Mars! :highfive:

    For those with PJ8310000 Model IDs, do it anyway. That zip works regardless of One X/XL Model ID.
    I tried it and am now S-Off'd. My Model ID is PJ8310000.

    Also, thanks so much to those involved!!

    we will add more hoxl model id's and zips shortly
