Could also be a sign of the times....a few years back teenagers didn't have smartphones.....now it seems every kid has one...which could be the cause of the lazy posts and the immaturity at times.

Luckily a lot of the tweens have their iphones to keep them occupied :rolleyes:

True... but a lot of those teenagers with high end android phones will end up being our new ROM developers in a year or two...

I agree with the previous post. 3 or 4 years ago the main reason for rooting a phone was to get the carrier bloatware off the phone . Those phones had hardly
any usable memory because of the bloatware and were very slow. Once you rooted the phone and got the bloatware off you had a little memory you could play with. Thus the custom roms.
But this phone comes stock with more memory than any rooted phone I have
ever had and is very fast also. That is probably why a lot of people haven't rooted
yet waiting on ICS to drop. It's a nice phone stock. Plus some of them are worried
about Verizon voiding their warranties if they root. Whatever. :D

Is there a meaning behind "JuopunutBear"? I don't even know how I should be pronouncing it. :)

They are all HTC phones...


Edit: It's unavailable now, however I still have the screen open, it's just links to different model phones.

It appears that at least part of the site directory is public.

http://unlimited.io/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/

What is present and what is absent is quite interesting. What's there seems to imply that MT4GS testing was in fact successful. What's not there suggests that they couldn't find enough testers for the EVO 3D (or something). The "insulated copper wiring" photos have me slightly intrigued, though.

Edit: Ha, great minds think alike.

The "untitled" files were just the unlimited.io logo on the homepage. The "insulated copper wiring" files were cropped images of the attached. The "jbannounce" files were the "Winter is over; JuopunutBear is about to wake from hibernation" image on the homepage. Everything else was just stock photos of the named devices.

Let's remain calm now. I'm sure the last thing these guys want is a bunch of people trying to break in to their site. Lol

    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.
