Great news! thanks for sharing.
This phone will be unstoppabale. Sooo excited

They also have S-off, although they haven't released that into the wild yet.

You seem privy to some secret knowledge...
I hope you're right! That would mean (likely) that the EVO 4G LTE is also going to have S-off quickly, and that would make the SIII look even less relevant.

Nah no secret knowledge, I was just following the thread and some guys posted on their twitter that they achieved S-off but would be holding off on releasing until further testing was done. But this definately bodes well for the EVO 4G LTE.

The possibility of getting S-OFF is the best news I've heard. This was the main reason I was not sure about this phone, as the dev community support is amazing for my Evo 4G.

THIS.
I can't wait for this device. Preemptive thanks to all the devs working on this one.
So I have some questions:
1) Does S-on with an unlocked boot loader through HTCDev allow for CM9 and other AOSP ROMs?
2) Does the Kernel source releases on other One X phones include the code for the ImageSense chip? This will be tied into how well the camera performs under CM9, etc.
Thanks!
Dev for the Evo line are the best. I've had the OG Evo, the 3d and now the Evo lte. And this is good news.

I don't see how they'd have any time to fix this before shipping next Wednesday. Plus, how will they know? They better not be so out to get us that they surf the internet forums looking for people who have found ways around their system. And even if they did, would they be able to find out HOW they exploited it? I'm asking hypothetically, because I don't know these answers. But my thinking is that there is way too little time and ability to change anything now. Maybe on the next wave of phones, sure. But our 001 hardware will be exploited mightily it would seem!

You would be suprised at home many companies have people who just surf the net to stay up on these type of things. If someone were to put it out there, believe me Sprint/HTC/ AT&T whoever would have people trying to close the hole so fast.

Yup they have the s-off but are not releasing it I'm thinking it's because of the EvoLTE they want it to be release so they'll release it for both phoones so they both have the s-off before they get patch. Im thinking is the same method since they have the same s4chip.

The Droid Incredible just got theirs. Is Verizon waiting until the bionic comes before they drop GB for the TB or what do you guys think?
They said Q3 in some reports.
Also, from what I read, they are trying to work out some software kinks.
Me thinks, its relegated to something like " ehh, we'll try to get the GB somehow for the TB"
I'm unfamiliar with anything beyond rumor and invention regarding a 3rd quarter release of gingerbread. It will come. But I still haven't figured out what the mad obsession with gingerbread is among some folks.

Seems to me they might want to lock it down tight like mr2 w/tether removal & make it as bug free as poss. although I think since the announce of TB2 (Vigor) they could be more focused on that to avoid another TB debacle... just my thoughts...

There is more than a few people who will refuse to take the ROOT plunge and those are the people that will hope and pray for the next OS such as GB or ICS to come out for their phones. I understand at the same time they are posting on a site that is normally for rooted phones but I dont understand why most people have to be smartass about it. I am rooted but yet have I read a post about GB or new phone coming out and have to post a comment that does not belong there. CanesDrew wants everyone to be an expert that this point and wants a perfect world, what is a world with out the next OS or the next phone? My post got locked but it continues to get views why cause people do care about the next. I bet with ICS come out and the developers create the ROM we are going to see rooted people talking about how good everything is on this side of the fence, geez I wonder why the other side keeps asking when it is coming for them.

Eh, "gimme now" threads are generally semi annoying and tend to add nothing to the forum no matter if the OP is rooted or not. There's generally a logical reason why something isn't released yet that most of them seem to miss, whether it's a phone, os or just a rom.
Even if the OP is just being "curious," it's not like someone is sadistically holding back whatever they're hyped up about.
You also have to admit on the General forum there is really not much going on from day to day, most the the problem post having to to with develpoment are posted on the ROM they are currently using IE (CM7, OMFGB, Th3ORY). I think honestly they post over here cause it has alot of active members who may read and have heard leaked information having to do with future releases of GB and/or ICS.

For those of you still waiting, I just called HTC and was told this exact same thing, word for word. Clearly reading from a script. Too bad. If you "want" to root Globatrons guide and support in his thread is top notch. The decision is yours though, It's your device. HTC told us it was coming soon earlier this year, soon is obviously a relative term.

My question , other than to be pissed at HTC, does anyone care about this at this point? We already have the official release available to us through the forum. Even better we have the S-OFF rooted version. The developers have the source code too, what the heck do we need HTC to do this for? They won't be making it any better just to push it out to BB customers. You will get the same thing we already have, try it and then go to the rooted version anyway. So BFD ...

Well unfortunately only Ipad users live in a perfect world. Any a few days Globaltron will have us a freshly minted US root version and then we can complain about something else.
Seeing that there is a boatload of work to install this leak, I decided that its probably time to do homework instead of trying to play with my phone at 2AM.
However, I have noticed a lot of people saying that the release cannot be too far behind since the leak came out.
I'm a bit skeptical on this idea, because didn't a leak come out for the HTC Sensation ages ago? Now, I did not research much, but as far as I know (again, I may be wrong), the Sensation didn't have an official update either.
Its definitely not too far-fetched to think that the update might be delayed even further. HTC did promise that the updates would be early 2012 and as we all know, "early 2012" was a long time ago. Some said the updates would be during MWC, some said otherwise. What do you guys think?
As for development, this is definitely a very good sign as the interest and traffic for the HTC Amaze the past two days were quite phenomenal. The CM9 builds and Evervolv builds never really got anywhere for months. Do you guys think its worth downloading the leak now? Or would waiting be a better option? From what I heard, you have to re-root your device simply downloading the update.

I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if Tmo is sitting on the update to push sales for the One-S. Not that I am a marketing expert or anything, but so far the release seems very stable and I can't figure out why they are holding off on it

Yes and no is my uneducated opinion. I feel like they're update the firmware yet because the radio seems finicky. With s-off, I think that they'll just be able to update the firmware through hboot, but with s-on I think we'll need to go stock, download the update, then do the reroot process....I could be off, but in the end we'll still be ok for any updates either way.
I think that pushing One S sales definitely sounds likely.
Meanwhile, I just think T-Mobile is bad with updates and this sucks for the development community because it means less resources to help people. There are so many devices out there getting updates anyways. Its not like updating the Amaze is going to hurt their revenue either. Its just frustrating. I definitely advise against waiting for an update from T-Mobile. Definitely update now. There are already great ROMs that were made.

From what I gather it's possible, though not likely there is an exploit for post OTA unlock in the source. It will help development in that 2.04 ROMS such as Viper1.2 will soon have compatible custom kernels whenever the developers of their respective kernels update them.
I suppose there can be other possible benefits but I have not heard anyone mention them.

Missing a few root only apps, missing data since she can't restore.
Look don't take offense. This phone is great, but when you get used to certain things is hard to go back.
That's all

lol No offense at all. Just most women don't desire their phones to be tinkered with, at least from what I've seen. I had to spend a long minute convincing my girlfriend to tinker with hers

Unfortunately mine uses her phone, a One X+, for work [and it was given to her by her company] so unless it becomes unusable, I don't get to play with it

Wait a minute, your wife wants you to root her DNA so you can put a "wife tether" on it?
that might be TMI

That's too bad.
Well, not what I was hoping for. But, they say that about the G5.
All I know is that Sammy makes it hard as frick to root their phones, so I'll most likely stay with HTC.
^^^^^ while I agree with sticking with HTC, what, on earth, gives you the impression it's hard to get root on Sammy devices. My experience with GNex, and all I've read, shows sammys are the easiest to root.

Probably wouldn't have mattered... you know... considering the kid's first and last name were on his Youtube and Twitter.

Bro....
My brother has the GS4 through Verizon, and there are like 6 different versions.
Rooting wasn't the issue, as I rooted it for him easily. The issue was "bootstrap", "Safestrap", "modems", and other terminology.
Not what I'm used to. He's rooted, but you cannot flash AOSP ROM'S with their locked bootloaders. You can only flash stock ROMS, and you have to use "Safestrap", which apparently makes multiple partitions and you have to keep your original stock ROM.
And then there is Loki, and Odin, whatever the hell those are. I'm guessing for unlocked bootloaders, but I haven't got that far yet.
Friend of mine from work blames Verizon, saying they try to seriously lock down their phones.

That's a Verizon thing... I have a sprint gs4 and it was ridiculously easy to root. Took me all of 2 minutes, it took longer to download the files...

I don't know about Samsung devices (on Sprint) but I know rooting my HTC wasn't too bad, but flashing it was a different story.
I'm not sure how much Truth is in that whole story. I mean, who can be THAT foolish? If it was me, I would make sure hat my kids don't even talk about it at school. Shoot...I might not even tell them.
Furthermore, whether this is true or not, this still provides HTC with premature feedback from users who want to see what the M8 will look like. While it is too late for them to make physical changes to the phone, at least they can try to make a few software changes to the phone. For example, I'm sure that someone is going to criticize the camera app. Based on the general consensus, they can make the needed modifications. This video has brought much attention to HTC, whether negative or positive, and there's nothing that good ol' Sammy can do about it.
Did I mention that this is FREE advertising? That's something that HTC never did very well with, and funding has a lot to do with it. I'm not saying that this story can't be true, but I certainly feel that there are more factors at play under the hood.
And to add to those who have said that Samsung is difficult to root, I beg to differ. Once I downloaded the correct files to the computer, it took me 2mins to root my wife's GS3 with an auto root tool. I had to do a lot more work to root my EVO. Mind you, I'm not saying that my EVO was difficult to rllt, but i also had to obtain S-Off in a separate process. You just have to root a Samsung and you're good to go.

They didn't, he made that up along with the other lies on his twitter after the video was traced back to him. His father works for a company that does soil testing (http://tsccorp.com) and his mother is a school teacher. I doubt that either would have access to the phone through their work.

I don't know who he got it from, but it wasn't one of his parents. Could be another relative, friend's parent, etc.
