Root S-off!!! (Possible, not released)

would be better if he actually put the name of the phone, but i normally just look over stuff like that, unless the link is redirected to a selling site such as what spammers normally do.

Not sure what you're trying to say here. It's been verified by multiple sources including Team BAMF.
 
Got momentarily excited, but then realized this was an old post. From what I can tell, this report is a false positive. And with the news of the SVDO vs AOSP issue up in the air, I'm leaning towards the Nexus again. Needless to say, this has not been a restful holiday weekend for me!
 
Someone want to explain to me what "S-off" means? Is this unlocking the bootloader? Is this just htc related?

Coming from D1 this was never an issue


Thanks in advance!

Yes and Yes



Just to update everyone that may not know. Some of the people that are working on S-Off are struggling with it. The exploit they have tried causes the sim cards to over heat. So i think they're trying to find a different method involving tricking the Sim Card in some way.

yeah but the nexus has a few turn offs to me.
1. No SD Card... I mean what the...
2. No changeable battery .... much like the new RAZR.... !@#$%^&
3. and worst of all..... only a 5 MegaPixel camera.... What were they smoking.

LAME!!! :mad:

And with the news of this Rezound having troubles getting root and all that..... I gotta say I am leaning towards the Moto Bionic. It may have a Locked Boot Loader but man even still its a Beast. Why would you need a different Kernal when your hitting 53 Mflops. My Ally only does 10 Mflops on its best day. And thats with a moded Kernal. They have some pretty nice roms too.

I am not going to early upgrade just so I can see how everything plays out. I am going to upgrade in march. By then.... Who knows?

imo i would take a locked up ReZound over a Bionic even if it had an unlocked bootloader based on the Krap Camera tech that Moto uses alone.


The camera on the RZ is amazing to me.



Regardless of the issues that people are currently having achieving S-Off i am still confident that it will happen. It just may take a couple of months.
 
so who is actually even working on getting s-off? it seems to me there isn't a ton of interest in this phone. it sort of slipped under the radar like the dinc2 did.
 
its hard to tell. I know of one person that says he is working on it and appears to be doing so.

i have also heard that "possibly" alpharev and unrevoked are also working on it but that is just hear say.
 
lol, ugh someone change the name of this thread! Every time I see it bumped I get my hopes up! :mad:
 
Someone forgot the daily, "OMG there's a new post in the S-off thread, maybe they finally did it!" bump of this thread to get everyone's hopes up....
 
I'm patient. the only thing I'm missing not having root, is root explorer. I run primarily the stock rom. I could care less about cyanogen mod or other roms unless we get a sense port of ICS.
