[Discussion] S-OFF for HTC Desire C/Golfu ... - HTC Desire C

Hey Guys.. I Created this thread for discussing S-OFF for our Desire C (obviously) ... Recently I contacted HTC Devs and here what they say ...
Dear Reinel Caluag,
Thanks for contacting HTC Philippines
we appreciate your continuous attentions with our products and services. We understand that you wanted to have an S off for your HTC Desire C.
For us to easily solve the issue, we would like to get the exact make and model of the handset. And it would be best if you could provide to us the IMEI or the serial number of your phone for proper documentation of your account with us. You may usually get the IMEI on the sticker at the back of the handset or by dialing *#06# on your phone’s dialer.
Regarding the concern, as we gathered some information, S-on or security on is a feature on our device where the system software of the handset is protected. For this, since you mentioned that you've already unlocked the bootloader of the handset and you still have S-On, we will raise this concern to our management for us to know how you can get S-off. For the meantime, please do expect another email response about updates and resolution for the said concern.
Please let us know if this information was able to help you. If not, kindly inform us the issues you have encountered. Should you need further assistance, you may give us a call at 1800-14410789 for PLDT or 1800-89086588 for Globe. You may provide your customer ID number “ for us to easily pull up your account. And our business hours are from Mondays to Sundays, 8:00AM to 8:00PM.
On the other hand, if we have successfully answered all of your concerns, you may close the ticket by accessing the links provided as well as for proper documentation of your account with us.
Once the ticket is closed, you will be receiving an invite for a survey. We would greatly appreciate if you can participate on a quick survey regarding how we were able to assist you with your concern.
Thank you for making business with us. Have a nice day!

After Seeing that.. i quickly reply them .... they need IMEI,and some phone info ... and I send them ...
What Do ya Think Guys.. ???

(*_*)
Good, Its good to see the HTCDev team showing even the slightest support for the Desire C
Maybe we will get S-OFF maybe we wont.
Right now it seems to be the thing we need most right now :/
Thanks for doing this Addictz10

Excuse my noobishness, but I don't really see the point behind getting s-off for our phone. I understand it will enable us to flash kernels from recovery mode itself and we can flash radio images to our phone (which I think is risky and i would never try that). And we can flash a different bootloader. But with it comes great security risks, and the possibility to actually hard brick our phones. So given a choice, I would still opt for S-on. Flashing kernels through fastboot is not that much of a problem, it hardly takes any time. Is there something I'm missing regarding S-off?

nah! my Device before got an S-off i flash kernels through recovery without having any problem... S-off is Safe ... but if you dont know what are you doing you'll end up in a big problem ... :3 ... if we have S-OFF then it means we will have a chance to get DUAL BOOT!! ..

yeah ... !!

My turn to state an opinion. IMHO dual booting is a bad idea. It takes up more space than it should. The only benefit i see from it is as a test enviorment.
Like have your main rom setup, and then flash test builds of other roms alongside it. But that is the only benefit.
Isn't different bootloaders device specific? If so who will be the advanced dev guy that will port/build them for us?
Im supporting s-off, but highly hesitant whether it will be of much use on a such low end device.

I am not sure about Dual boot.
becuse pico doesn't have S-off but a dual boot

I think they have s-off .. coz dual boot needs s-off because dual boot flash kernels through recovery... while us on fastboot

I agree with noahvt about changing splash screen and its so annoying having to turn on my PC to change kernel and we need to get a full touch cwm not twrp like 6.0.3.5

YAH! I KNOW!! Just do What we want -_-
Dear Reinel Caluag,
Thanks for contacting HTC Philippines
Thank you for the information that you have provided. Regarding the concern, as we've checked our resources, we found out that we don't need to turn the security off to accomplish the basic installation of custom ROM. Security on by default is good for some reasons, it protects the system software configuration such as radio, boot, recovery and system. However, once you've unlocked the bootloader of the handset, you will have lifted the restrictions of the handset and you have the means to customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. For this, we are sorry to say that our management did not give the exact information on how to turn the security off. But as for coordination, normally, once you've unlocked the bootloader of the handset it will automatically have S-Off and developers would easily access or toggle the options on the phone specifically with Security off and on.

Will definetly check this thread out when the Incredible drops. I will go and test it out on the 29th, and most likely buy it, got an update on one of my lines.
would like to see nexus one 3d photo gallery in your rom which would be nice. I also can't wait for free wifi tethering.
Hoping you folks smarter than me are able to find root quick
I have created a custom recovery.img from Ama_ra's source, so if fastboot is unlocked then we can just flash the recovery.img via fastboot and flash a custom ROM.
I used the xmoo shipped ROM for the images.
but if its not unlocked then we can try fastboot oem unlock and see if it unlocks the bootloader, but this will 100% void your warranty.
I have also created an update.zip but the shipped ROM might be newer than the leaked images from (xmoo)
Should be rooted allready...... so there may not be a need for this thread.

I've already tried fastboot oem unlock on the Incredible and it doesn't work. Hardware similarities aside, rooting the device won't be as easy as the Nexus One.

The root for the desire and legend has not been released yet, sooooo as soon as Paul releases it, the same way should work for the inc. Just hold on tight, it should not be too much longer.

I'm not a developer by any means, but I'm always willing to test pretty much anything. I've been keeping a close eye on this phone for a few months now and pre-ordered on the 19th, just checked the order status page on VZW and it says "Your order has been processed. You should receive your order within 2 - 3 business days." Man, I cannot wait to get my hands on this bad boy!

Which is why I'm getting the best buy maintenance program. They have no deductible and you can change your phone out as often as you like. . Walk in get another one and leave. I do believe that they will start using refurbs when they become available if they have them at the store you visit.

i opened this thread is to stop / a place for people to post question & discuss...
reason: because the thread link above... is a place for devs update infos..
so kindly please post question / discuss here instead..
P.S dont turn that great thread to a spam thread. thank you!

The devs will (hopefully) keep this thread monitored all the time (at least i will), but dont expect a answer within seconds
We will try to answer all your questions here. And please keep the original thread nice and clean. Thanks to jenny we now have a thread that can be open for answers.
I hope jenny is willing to update the 1st post with faq's and alike. (i will try to provide them as much as possible). Thanks to knightrocker we have a lot of good basic stuff to tell about
So lets discuss and ask
p.s. yes i will be annoyed by people who don't read and ask the same question that has already been answered (probably multiple times )
So how do I root my IS? can someone give me a link please?

Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Hmmm did a bit of reading on kexec. Timbo i have a question, u said u are trying to use it, but u cant boot into it.
Maybe that is because it is already being used? From what i read, kexec sounds a LOT like the fastboot option on htc's to me. And i don think u can overlap two kernels over the original one. Maybe thats why it was never tried
Please correct me if im wrong.

Knightrocker just wait mate we are busy with it
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
I must say u: im not that much of a linux programmer, mainly tester, but getting to know it. We are just trying to use it (or misuse if u want) to run our code.
Dont know exactly how it works, but it is useable to bypass some of the HTC security that is build in. But like u said: its never been used before, but thats only partial true. It is being used on the X10, and 4 days ago they announced that they succesfull used it to run there own kernel and roms.
Currently there are people working on it and as usual there are only just a few persons who really know what there doing (not me included ) so also i have to wait. Just have a little more know how because i'm involved with it
As soon as i know how it exactly works i am willing to document it (if allowed by the devs though) because maybe we dont want HTC to know how we do it exactly, because it will probably be to easy to disabled again haha.
Heres a starter for the faq
Root, s-off what does that mean?
If you don’t know what root is, go away and do some research. Not going to cover that.
Temp-root/shell-root: By using the psneuter exploit we can get temp-root. This allows us to execute more commands and gives us access to the whole system.
S-on/S-off: Disable the security that is also known as the NAND lock. When S-on is enabled it prevents us to write to the system partition (and various others). They can be written but it will be discarded when you reboot. So we see it as not writeable.
How do I check if im s-on?
Disable the fastboot option in setting > application. Shutdown. Hold down vol-down + powerbutton until you get to a white screen. Read the first line. Should say something like “Vivo bla bla S-ON”. If it says you are S-OFF you are lucky .
What is responsible for the s-on?
The radio firmware (not accesable trough the system directly) sets an flag (secu_flag) to 1 or 0, 1 for s-on, 0 for s-off. To get s-offed we somehow need to change that flag. Currently not possible for our phones.
The kexec was allredy used on the Motorola Milestone, but the Radio was always hanging. But possibily it can help you guys looking at the sources http://and-developers.com/custom_rom:2ndboot
Nice info! Have not looked so good at it (yet) so will do now.
Further more: i know about the X10 since one of there developers is on our team too. So have not looked at other phones yet who uses it
Had an Milestone before my Desire
You can ask the guys on #milestone-modding on freenode on IRC if you need help, they made a lot of experience with this methode since more than six month.

Then how it is possible to have a permanent root with S-ON on other devices like DHD?
The way I understood it,is that we can get root privileges but they vanish once we reboot cause they only existed in a volatile memory (since we can't write the code into the non-volatile area because of the S-ON)
This makes me ask: What's a permanent root then?
It is possible on other devices because it (the radio) can be somewhat accessed within userspace (kernel/programs) and than sets the flag to s-off. But it is required to exploit the radio so that it will do what we say. All current know exploits don't work on our phone. So its currently not possible on the new HTC devices.
So it is possible to access certain parts of the phone that are locked. but it requires a lot of skill to get there and than you must find something useable to change the flag.
Permanent root is what it says: stay root even after reboot There were times (mostly early cracking of new (currently old) devices) that people could temporary turn of the flag, set root in the system and that way gain permanent root. But most of the time your not very far away from fully s-off.

@androf : lol bro, ur crazy.
I have more questions if some1 dosent mind answering. From what i read, kexec skips the firmware part, thus we skip security. But about flashing a custom recovery? Will kexec still be effective or will u use it just to root and then chuck it?
Heck, ive learnt more from this IS section than i did in a whole year of science classes in school

@Androf, ty but no thanks dont have any brains left at the moment and a beer would not help me to return it and your welcome!
@knightrocker: this thread is made for questions (the other one is more for the news and progress) so burn out those questions, i assume it still takes some time to get trough though. So until then i'm trying to help everybody here with there questions regarding to it and a appreciate the thoughts about how to get trough.
p.s. you can pm me ofc when u have questions, but i think that you should post them here, so other people can learn too. I'm saying that you have to wait for something to come off that uses the kexec method. Currently being worked on so not much info to be given yet. Dont crop those questions and put them out. Will appreciate if you have more than one question post them in one post though
@mr stylo: we have one the lead devs of the X10 cracking team, i assume he knows where to find the info. but nevertheless its a good learning course for me
@timbo: ok bossman. I will ask any questions i have to make sure every1 learns with me. And ill try to keep it a little compact as u say. I will read some more on this kexec thing. Im glad u guys found that dev dude from the x10. Say hi to him for me please
Btw... Just so i get right, u said i could burn off any questiojs i have and learn as much as can yes? Sry... But imma little sleepy

If this post is for real than you should start by reading through each of the guides on this forum and the incredible s dev forum after that use the search function to find answers to any questions you might have. Than after all else fails return here to post a legitimate question. After you find out what an h-boot is and you realize its 1.16.0000 stop and decide weather or not you really want to continue down this path because at the end of it the loss of your warranty.
Happy reading.

The problem is, that more than likely hundreds of people have had this same issue, and most have found the solution without having to post a new thread. He's saying, you need to do some real legwork instead of just asking.

That's right. Most likely u will find the solution in an already existing thread...or u can always Google it.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Just so you know - my phone is hboot 1.16.0000 (and no I will not repeat myself how to do it) and I have cyanogenmod7.
It's good, but now my warranty is voided. I cannot revert to stock because the HBOOT 1.16.0000 was an OTA update, therefore it cannot be downloaded at this stage, so I have to stick with custom roms.
My charger port is now stuffed after a month of having it (STUPID design having it on the side,) and after speaking to htc because my phone is software modded it is automatically void. even though it has nothing to do with the issue. So now my only other choice is a 3rd party company to fix it or pay the premium for HTC to fix it, because it's not under warranty.
Your choice.
Expect the unexpected
If you can get your charging port to work you can run an RUU flash a HBOOT downgraded and then rerun the ruu on your phone. You will become S-On again.

Still in Bootloop after days of searching for answers

I've been trying to fix this for the last week. I tried to boot the SWITCH ROM to use google edition and sense. I'm stuck in Bootloop.
I've looked through a lot of threads, with no luck.
Phone boots up
I only get a black screen with the notification bar. Can't do anything with that.
I can access bootloader.
Re-flashing a ROM hasn't worked.
Wiping data/cache/delvik hasn't helped
The all-in-tool doesn't work. I have to type in all the commands myself.
Has anyone fixed their One from a bootloop, or know how to get it back to stock 1.31?
Thanks in advance.

First things first hopefully you read this reply better than you read the post about Switch Rom
About MoDaCo.SWITCH
MoDaCo.SWITCH is a unique ROM concept for the HTC One which allows you to have two ROMs on your device (Sense and Google Play Edition) but maintaining a single set of data that is shared between the two.
Switch has been in development for a while now and it is rather complex internally, so we will have a number of Beta phases where we are certain to find (and hopefully fix) any issues.
Pre-requisites
Switch is tested on a European WWE unlocked HTC One that was originally running the 2.24 ROM. S-OFF is recommended but not mandatory. S-OFF can be achieved using the revone utility.
NOTE: This ROM is for GSM devices only.

Thanks for the reply. I did not read through the SWITCH thread in great detail, which is of course on me. I will try this later when I have time. If it works, I'll spread the word to others.

[Q] Can someone teach me how to port CM to desire C cdma (golfc)?

I've been waiting for someone to post a port of cm for my version of my phone but i just can't seem to find anything. And i want to take the initiative to bring my favorite android flavor to my phone.
My phone is rooted and i have a back up of stock.
i would also like to port Ubuntu touch but i guess one step at a time.
i also read the wiki "how to port CM" and i've gotten stuck, i just really don't know what im doing and would like a helping hand.
Thanks for your time.

You need to have the same base to port roms. You cant port a CM10 golfu without a build CM10 golfc
well if that is so. then where are the roms for golfc? or are you talking of the other way around?
other than your confusing answer does that mean not willing to teach/help me?

Change the Ril? and then have a kernel which supports that Ril? @soupmagnet was working on this kind of thing, think it's a lost cause as only like 3 people ever bought a golfc (not sure that even is it's codename tbh)
Just checked soups profile, his bio is legendary xD

Have you got an unlocked bootloader? and have you got a recovery? If so, try flashing my SHTD and then flashing NOPE/Prometheus and tell me what the outcome is.. SHTD has cdma i think..
And Nick, don't try tell me otherwise. If you can flash do it brother!
Edit: Dude, Thank me448 for helping you out, valuable advise right there, click thanks for him... It's what it's there for

Well, after hanging around here for a little while, I learned that you were definitely not exaggerating when you said less than a handful of people have the golfc and want to customize it. I have a new addition to my family, and with the new moderator duties and the Kindle Fire support I already provide, I just don't have the time to devote towards getting a working ROM for just 3 people. The golfc is cheap anyway and I just gave it to my wife because there's not much fun to be had with a phone that is only rooted and still has S-ON. Note to self: Never buy another HTC phone.
I still have a working root for it (Linux) if anyone needs it, but it's just a modified version of Bin4ry's "Root Many Android" (used with permission of course), and anyone with a little scripting knowledge can easily make his exploit work for them on pretty much any OS.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance

There is currnently no official GolfC forum. Since this is a GolfU only 1 or 2 ROMs will work on the GolfC.
Base: I mean a source built ROM with the device tree edited to the according specifics.
There is no device tree for the GolfC Neither is there a base to use because of that fact.
I have no experience in building device trees therefore I don't really have the ability to help you.
You could try SHTD (fuk u Olli <3) but be careful of bricking your device. I heard that installing GolfU recoveries and boot imgs will brick your device.
Make sure you have a backup of the current ones. Please.
If you do something that makes your phone melt or turn into a ring that wants to get melted in a volcano, don't hold me responsible.
I gave you all the information you asked for, if there is anything else go ahead and reply =3
Edit: @soupmagnet Congrats/feels for the new duty dude =3

Um, it can't be done by us, unless you learn to build from source (use google) and learn to configure RILs (google it) then simply no, it cannot be done, bad luck having a CDMA device /: I think that's 2 to the tally of CDMA now..
GSM: 7k+?
CDMA: 2-5

EDIT: Nevermind there is nothing in common with desire c and desire u, if those are the phones. Compiling isn't hard to do but requires patience. I can reccomond some helpful guides if you'd like
