Anyone know what I can try?

Apparently a lot of people are having this problem (including myself).

According to the IRC, "a lot of people have the same issue. beaups thinks it might be a kernel thing, but ive tried a bunch of kernels. i even ruu'd. people are pretty stumped."

So we just have to wait I guess.

Reboot the phone by holding down power and it'll reboot ok

This is totally FRUSTRATING!

I don't understand how we can all be following the exact same instructions and get all of these different results meaning, S-OFF for some and still S-ON for others.

I have the same setup as people who this is working for in a total of 5 mins but it won't work for me.

How is this possible? UGH! I totally have more gray hair as a result of this supposedly simple and seamless process.

...and Exhale

I feel your pain. I have done 100 times more complicated processes with phones and other stuff and I can't for the life of me get mine to work either.

The kernel that you used you say is stock, what I want to know is does that kernel have system write enabled?

I'm having issues with the fastboot command. when my phone is booted up I can see it just fine in my terminal window and I can see the adb driver in device manager (My HTC under Android USB Devices), but as soon as i get into the bootloader it cannot see it anymore. I get a "device not recognized" error from windows and when i do an "adb devices" command it does not list any.

Should HTC Sync Manager be installed and running or does that matter?

when you are in fastboot you need to do this

Code:

fastboot devices

At bootloader you should do:
fastboot devices

Is it supposed to do something when i type that in? it just goes back to the prompt and nothing happens on the phone

btw i appreciate the guidance. normally things go smooth.... this is the first time i've ran into this issue

No its the factory boot.img from the factory odex rom.

It lists the serial number of the device and its status ("fastboot" at bootloader)

Make sure your phone shows "fastboot usb" in the bootloader.

yep shows fastboot usb, but does not show any info about the phone or the status. it would make more sense if it did the same thing while the phone was booted up and i did adb devices, but that shows my device just fine. it's only in fastboot that it doesn't seem to see my phone.

I had this problem last night and had to reboot my computer. It was like fastboot or adb was running and stuck and couldnt start over.

Try reconnecting your device to a different (non usb3) port.

For those getting the same thing as this user below...
I found a fix that worked for me.

I think this process refuses to work for me.

I have tried flashing a completely different ROM. I have tried flashing a different Kernel. Only to still get stuck at the HTC Flash screen.

I may have to give up on this as I have been trying to complete this since last night.

I had this issue all night. Posted it on page 6 of this thread. Nothing I did, no rom change, kernal change, etc. seemed to help.
However, I did have success this morning...
I'm not sure exactly what change made it work so excuse me if you see some that seem irrelevant... maybe they are, maybe they aren't. All I know is that I got past the "SD ERR" and white boot screen forever issue.

1. I switched from twrp to CWM touch

2. Instead of using my usual ADB terminal and directory, I used Hasoon's Droid_DNA_All-In-One_Kit_v2.1 to initiate the communications. I placed the required zip and unzipped soffbin3 into the "data" directory inside Hasoon's directory.

3. I renamed the PL8320000-DNA.zip to "soff.zip"

4. using the CMD window brought up by Hasson's program, I booted into bootloader and ran each of the commands in the OP from there.

5. It worked.

If someone can make sense of this and decipher why this now works, great! All I know is that before I did it this way, I got no s-off love whatsoever. ...and now I do

Got it to work now... I think it may be that i tried yet another usb plug... or it could have been that i just downloaded additional android_usb drivers.

who knows, but it's working now.... thanks again for all of the advice fellas!

After about 20 min of trying it finally took. My cmd line kept saying device not found with adb commands. I uninstalled and reinstalled the HTC drivers and then I read on here to turn debug off and back on and restart the adb server. Once I did that it went no problem. For the record, my adb commands hadn't ever worked for me properly before either. Hope this helps some people who get stuck on this like I did. Otherwise, S-OFF BABY! Thanks guys!
