[Q] Is my DHD Eng-Off after using aahk ?

[sgrockfort]

Hello,

I rooted and s-off my dhd by using aahk approx one year ago. Everything fine and I testet a lot of roms.
Now I like to upgrade the radio and read that a eng-off is also necesarry. I try to find out if my device already eng.off. But I couldn't.

Did anyone know if the device is also eng-off after using aahk ? Or does anyone know another way to find out ?

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just go to bootloader.. Turn off your device, then press volume down + power button. You will see a bootloader info. At the top, it should show "Ace pvt eng s-off"

It shows :
ACE PVT SHIP S-OPFF RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot

If I understand right it means it's not eng-off ???

If it says S-off, which it does, you are S-off.

yes, thanks. But is it also eng-off ?

Oops, thanked you. If you want to flash a radio you just need S-Off.

S_OFF tool recommendation

Hey, I had run the ACE kit, but somehow put the S back ON (it's a mystery inside an enigma!), and now just want to run an S_OFF tool: my kernel is the 3.0.62_JellyTime_R5-g8e08b6e-dirty ... the tools in the fora all seem to have been specific to Fro/GB, so I need to ask which one is best to run, given my kernel?

And 4.2.1

Like our original poster, I too want to flash a new radio to get RAW POWER on a legacy slate. Thanks for your help.

S-Off is not an option unless you are an expert. AAHK, the tool used to get it, was retired earlier this week. Root and custom ROMs are still possible with an unlocked bootloader, but getting S-Off is no longer a simple procedure.

cool, so which way

I don't mind getting dirty - but is gfreev.2 alright to roll with given my kernel? it worked the first time, in the kit, but I don't need the whole ACE, just need to smack the sec back out of the device if you have input on the compatibility of gfree v.2 given the updated kernel, please

 

[bananagranola]

I have no idea what gfree is...what is it?

Advantage of newer radio ?

Oops, thanked you. If you want to flash a radio you just need S-Off.

Can you recommend me to upgrade the radio ?
I mean I understand that it's always a risk but without that point. Will I have a advantage with newer radio ?
currently I have Radio Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M on my DHD.
And like to flash 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M or 12.68.60.29U_26.16.04.09
As far as I understand the first variant is the last official radio and sencond one is newest but from unknown source
