Red face S-Off Rezound

I don't believe anyone has mentioned this but it looks like Chingy51o has achieved (or at least has one) S-OFF. Doesn't give details but the original thread is HERE.

I'm all about this phone so I'm looking for all the news. Just merely passing this on as we all await this bad boy

Edit: May be a tester unit...

I figured it wouldn't take much time to get it rooted and S-OFF. If, i could upgrade i would certainly get this phone. I feel bad for all the bionic folks.

that's their fault for going with a Motorola.

although, Motorola isn't always to blame for locked bootloaders. The new RAZR for instance... Moto has offered it with the bootloader unlocked(and all countries getting the phone are receiving it that way). Good ol' Verizon didn't like that though and has ensured that it is remaining locked here in the US.

yeah I almost considered buying the bionic, glad I didn't. I planned to buy it after the development section started booming, it still hasn't. A few ROM's yes but not much to choose from and most are not well polished ROM's.

The rezound section here surprisingly looks very promising. I may have to get me one, again imma wait until development kicks off further here before giving up my droid incredible.
Current phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon) (sexy beast)

This is a factory s-off phone, done with an engineering sim. Don't get your hopes up, all it does is give Chingy a head start on his roms, it doesn't give users a way to s-off yet.

Thank you for the correction J. Hopefully in the near future it will get the true S-Off treatment.

Hi all, sorry if this has been brought up and debunked already, and with my limited knowledge of the rooting process this may not be possible but I saw this:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/...-in-one-click/

From what I can tell, the Amaze isn't listed on the HTCDev site to unlock the bootloader either, but it sounds like the process still worked. Then one of the root methods was used for permanent root.

I don't have the level of expertise to try this safely, but hadn't seen anything about this elsewhere in the forum yet so thought I'd offer it up.
