Root [S-OFF] Juopunutbear S-OFF -Beta Release

I think I'm bricked :(.

Used an insulated wire and everything...


Put the wire in the (correct hole), when it said to do it, I tapped the GND, counted 1 Mississippi, then tapped it again and the phone just shut off.


EDIT: NVM, got it up and running.
 
ok so i got s-off now. but in the hboot menu at the top it no longer says unlocked. it says locked and it says s-off. is this normal?
 
My only problem now is I can't seem to get my PC to detect my phone when it's in juopunutbear mode. The USB drivers are installed...I unlocked my bootloader, I can boot into fastboot with the cmd prompt, USB debugging is on, I can see "My HTC" in the device manager when I'm not in juopunutbear mode...but as soon as I run the s-off tool, it switches my phone over to that black screen with the green arrow, and then my PC stops seeing it, so it's never able to continue. I've also tried other USB ports.

I get.. "Hmmm, still no device
Open device manager and check adb and/or fastboot drivers!!"

Do you have any of the listed problem programs installed?
 
Oh well...I was in a hurry last night, so I flashed back to the deodexed stock shooter ROM anyway.

I don't have any of those conflicting programs installed. I just for whatever reason can't get my phone in the device manager after it reboots from controlbear. I guess I won't be downgrading my HBOOT. :(

I'll try it one last time.

Edit:

Rebooting.......
=== Waiting device....

This has got to be the stupidest thing ever. I guess I'm fine with Sense ROMs. Whatever.
 
Battery pulls have to be done to get back to your boot loader and start the program over and over and over til you get the sunshine message and yea be on stock and if you get the sunshine keep going to install the custom hboot you might have to run it one last time.that's if you want the custom hboot
 
when i failed i didnt pull battery..my phone literally stayed on the juopunutbear screen from start to finish. i just kept exiting out of controlbear window/prompt and reopening controlbear starting the process all over again..i did this for an hour, maybe a little longer, just stayed at it untill i finally got the timing right. but i do know one thing. if it were me i dont care how many times it takes or how long i had to sit there..i would have kept at it all night to get it..i deff. would not start and then stop..its a pain in the ass process for most myself included...better to just stary and keep on keepin on until you are successful.

as much of a pain in the ass as it is..i would try another pc...save yourself the greif. i dont seem to remember alot from when i did soff..between having a drink or two and just being so damn nervous. .i do remember having to uninstall htc sync..the only thing you should need are the htc drivers but not the htc sync crap from bootloader unlock

edit.. i would uninstall everything, htc sync, htc drivers and anything else related..then redownload and try running controlbear again..did the guys at unlimitedio tell you anything else that could be the problem?
 
@lqcorsa pull the battery out, connect your phone back to usb cable, and turn on, the process should start again.

Right. It took me over 20 times to time the wire trick right. But I know it was worth it.

Otherwise, you'll never have any true freedom with S-ON.
 
So after many tries Im s-off....yay. thanks for all the helpful posts. Leslie Ann your help is always appreciated. I feel bad because I really like your rom and want to support it but am caught between Harmonia and Midnight Rom ;)

I had never used a rom on this phone, just rooted by flashing su and I still could not get the wire trick to work for the longest time. The last step it would get to was Finding fourth, rebooting, then waiting device. It would just sit on this Juopunutbear screen while Controlbear said waiting device forever. I never even got to the wire trick step. I jumped on juopunutbear irc and they didn't know what was going on so hyuh made a suggestion to wipe and format /data. I booted into clockworkmod recovery and did a factory reset, and let it boot up completely and ran Controlbear again. This time it passed the fourth step and actually got to the wire trick step and I got S-OFF on the first try. Had to controlbear -f in fastboot after it was done to boot back up. Since this was stock without ever flashing a rom or kernel if anyone gets stuck before the wire trick, try a factory reset or manually format /data.
