Hey everyone, the HTC Droid DNA is my first android phone ever. I've had several years' experience jailbreaking and developing on the ipod touch, so I rooted my phone after exploring it and becoming familiar with the operating system and its features. Everything went smoothly, except that now there's a headline in bootloader mode that says **TAMPERED**, I guess as a quick way for Verizon to find out if the phone's been rooted or not.
Well, I do know about unrooting, but my question is, will unrooting my phone remove the **TAMPERED** line from bootloader mode?
No the tampered notice is permanent until we get s-off.

From my understanding, rooting is pretty much you performing a privilege escalation attack on your phone.
So is getting s-off the same thing, just to a deeper level?
It's not the same. S-on means security is On and you cannot make chanes to the system files while booted in android.
The Cube kernel allows writing to the system while booted in android but it's not the same as S-off though the effect is similar.
So, how do programs like Unrevoked Forever get s-off?
And I haven't heard about the phone's radio, which is apparently where the flag is stored. Can someone explain that to me, or link to an article that does? I'll try to find one in the meantime...
edit: Found a question on stackexchange.com explaining what the radio firmware is.
(I know it can't be this easy, but...) If you can't change it while booted into Android, then wouldn't you have to connect the phone to the computer, turn it off, and run an assembly program on it that flips the S flag, provided that you know where it is? Or flash a new radio to it, with a flipped S flag?

This isn't true. It was a kernel issue that prevented us from writing to the system. This has been resolved with dsbs newest kernel as you said but that had nothing to do with s-on. S-off means we can't write to the parts of our phones that could potentially leave us with sexy paper weights

S-off is like root in the sense that we have parts of the system we can't touch until we achieve such. S-off is different depending on the device because it requires a different exploit. Its a shame Cyanogen doesnt work for HTC instead of Samsung haha.

That's where I'm confused. I've only dealt with Moto phones that have locked bootloaders. Once rooted and the bootloader is circumvented we could install any Rom as long as a developer ported one over . With the S thing, I'm not 100% clear on it even though I've read a few articles on it, and now a kernel was made that allows writing to the system while booted there is an additional wrinkle to my comprehension of all this.
How do you find an exploit in the radio? Is the code in it ever readable to the user?

The s on/s off status if your phone doesn't effect roms at all. Just deeper level stuff.

I understand lol. I've owned three HTC phones and can attest that that's not how s-on usually works. That's why it was never really that bad because you still had a lot of control over your phone.

Personally, I wouldn't rely on the EVO3D forum to stay abreast on news about rooting or anything. a certain Mod killed the developers desire to stick around here.
head over to the Sensation area, and you'll find that people have found ways to make the root stick 100% until actual reboot occurs and so on. that is where I'm staying up to date.
My temp root lasts until I reboot. I used the script found in the developers section and so far I've maintained root all day. At least, Titanium Backup works everytime I fire it up.

This technically should not be called "Temp Root", in a traditional sense.
Perhaps "Momentary Root"
I would be satisfied with the Traditional Temp root since 99% of my need for it is just to run Hot Spot and I don't care if it's a few clicks.

Wht happen to unreovled did they give up
I didn't bother with temp root, not for me.
I do watch the sensation forum for real info due to the douche bag that ruined the chance to watch progress here.
I haven't really messed with it too much either. I'm just happy to see the progress coming so quickly. I thought it would be a while before we saw anything resembling root.

considering that haus has a ENG bootloader, why doesn't he just get temp root, then flash it onto the phone? They would have S-OFF.
I think all this time is being spent on a custom recovery made by Team Win that is supposedly packed with features. That is great and all....but I would prefer a faster release with less recovery features initially...before HTC beats them to the finish line.

Our bootloader is still write protected......So, even though we have the eng. loader from the early system dump, it still can't be flashed over the one that we have without cracking the write protection first.

That is interesting. Because root should allow you to change permissions. Getting temp root was the last hurdle at one point in xhausx's thread in the dev forum and the irc chats. Unless this "temp root" is really limited? I dunno

That was my understanding as well based on other android phones, however it seems HTC has substantially changed the design of the phone. I have followed a few of the developement threads, post for post since their inceptions and it turns out this is something entirely new that our devs are having to deal with. Sorry I can't find a link to where it was referenced......If someone could and post it that would be great.
Found it. This is copy & pasted from RVDigital's Faq sheet in the developement section:
What about S-OFF?
20:10 <@agrabren> Short of "where are we at for s-off".
20:10 <@joshua_> Sure. This device is eMMC, and also has a signed bootloaer. This means that S-OFF is a ways further out than just soft root.
20:11 <@joshua_> I can answer from my experience working closely with the AlphaRev X team that S-OFF on Sensation is goign to be harder than previous devices we've worked with.
20:11 <@joshua_> I think EVO 3D is very similar to Sensation, so I suspect the same to be true there.
20:11 <@joshua_> Someone asked me what eMMC is: Older phones (EVO 4G) are based on NAND flash; eMMC is a different type of flash.
20:12 <@joshua_> eMMC has different types of write protection that we haven't worked with before.
20:12 <@agrabren> And we plan to work together to solve some of these issues.
20:14 <@joshua_> (We've all been working pretty closely on this, including scotty.)
20:14 <@agrabren> you think this particular exploit will eventually lead to s-off, or is it too early to tell?
20:14 <@agrabren> (Sending this one to joshua_
20:15 <@joshua_> agrabren, the AlphaRevX exploit requires userspace root, and that was one of the big things holding it back on gbread
20:22 <@agrabren> Joshua: whats the difference between unlocked and s-off?
20:22 <@joshua_> S-OFF, unlocked, etc are fuzzy terms, especially now that we are on eMMC.
20:23 <@joshua_> S-OFF used to refer to a specific configuration in which the radio told hboot that it was "OK" to flash anything it wanted, essentially.
20:23 <@joshua_> (It also would refer to an ENG hboot.)
20:23 <@joshua_> On eMMC, that state no longer exists.
20:24 <@joshua_> unlocked is not really a term that applies to CDMA phones; in general, it refers to the ability to put a SIM card from a differnet carrier into your phone. the "NAND lock", or write protection, or anything like that does apply, and refers to being able to write /system
20:24 <@joshua_> (I think that's needed for Cyanogen.)
Team Win seemed pretty confident about releasing s-off to the masses or whatever. They made temp root sound like it ****s up your phone at one point. I hate having to use an exploit when ****ing htc can just release it to us in an official ota. I dont understand why they are waiting. Bunch of **** suckers. I really wish Team Win didnt tell everyone they had temp root so that HTC would still have more pressure on them. DONT FLAME BECAUSE OF MY OPINION!

Is rooting completely out now, even thought the boot loader is locked? Specifically, on other phones I've seen instances where a phone could be rooted even without being unlocked. Is that possible on the DNA now, after the update?
Thanks!

That's not a bad idea... No where does it make it real clear if its just unlocking the BL or rooting too. Especially since a lot locked BL phones can be. A lot of people don't give a crap about unlocking only rooting.

Lol I understand. Really unless someone leaks an unlocked bootloader I don't see it happening quickly. With that said how impossible will kexec be lol. We got an unlocked bootloader on the gs3 thanks to a leak. The s3 had quite a few devs working on the bootloader when lucked up on the leak. It's just more realistic to use kexec for a software solution. JTAG sounds great but I don't see it being super popular.

Technically yes. But without the unlocked bootloader and direct write access to a partition (forget which...) it's only temporary and utterly pointless for what a user would need.

It worked on the gs3 with locked bootloader. It wasn't temp. I believe it is possible. Basically you boot into a second unsecure system after booting into the stock secure system.

If I unlocked my bootloader is that enough to get the updates direct from HTC? or do I need to get a unlock code from ATT? or would I have had to buy a unlocked one straight from HTC?
First post! Thanks for starting a stupid question thread!
@ the poster above me, from what I've read so far, any unlocking of the bootloader will disable the OTA HTC updates. But I might have misread, I'm just learning about all this too and have read way too many pages of posts already. I'm sure someone in the know will chime in to confirm.
Now, my turn! I Just switched from iPhone to the HTC one and have really started considering flashing cleanRom 2.5. I have a kindle fire that I managed to root and get jelly bean on, so I'm not a total noob, but I wanna ask a few noob questions. Here goes:
I have spent a long time getting my phone setup the way I like it and when I flash cleanrom, is there a way to carry over the apps and things I've installed? No biggie if not, but I've got some saved game data on here already and some other stuff I'd rather not lose if there was an easy way to save. And is everything working correctly in the cleanrom to where I can still make zoes and use the camera, gallery, etc?
Also, any tips for getting this thing rooted? I was planning on downloading that "noob-proof" toolkit and going from there. I've read about people getting freezes and install issues using twrp, which scares me a bit because I have no idea what that other thing is (starts with a c) that people are using. and I read something Scott said that you should never do a system wipe or you could lose your backup?? I know I used to wipe the system, cache, and something else when I rooted my kindle but I never tried to go back to stock or even look to see if I had a backup file somewhere. maybe if there's a step by step guide you could point me to that I might have missed?
Thanks for the help, I'm glad I joined the forum!

No, unlocking the bootloader won't allow that. If we get s-off then changing the cid and flashing a stock developer edition Rom with a relocked bootloader should allow that if one so desired.
---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
There is no "easy" way perse' to back that stuff up and carry over. There is a way I saw sometime back to root without unlocking the bootloader. Theoretically one could do that and use titanium backup... But I don't really know if it will save your game progress... And you will have to offload your titanium backup data to a computer or something before unlocking the bootloader because it will erase everything. The thing about not wiping system came about because of all the problems people have been having with aroma freezing. Some people seem to have it worse then others but the idea is if aroma screws up over and over you still have an os to boot into. I personally (cross my fingers) have had little trouble with that (maybe 1 freeze or 2 then it runs through all the way). I'd suggest leaving the system folder alone until you know how your phone reacts to aroma installs.

Not sure about the unlock code but I suspect it would only be a SIM unlock to use on other carriers. Not sure it changes the cid. The other software update your talking about won't grab firmware updates from HTC... There was a software update pushed through that recently for the HTC media thing I read it was so media sharing could be turned on without having mobile hotspot activated.

I am on verizon and have temp root with weaksauce and have root but when firewater runs and its start chugging it either chugs one or two and then returns to the command line, one time it kept chugging to bottle 11(figured it was on a loop) so thats where i am at any guidance would be much appreciated. btw, i tried using the firewater temp root but i get a failed getting root so cant go on from there, just thought id share that.
By temp root, do you mean weaksauce?

I just had an idea. I was reading about weaksauce and it takes about a minute for root to become available after device boot. So, maybe you could try waiting a minute after the part where the device reboots to execute the next command.

Strange. It might just not be possible on the latest firmware. Most s-off methods seems to work better if you've already unlocked the bootloader. But with the VZW model, you need to get s-off before unlocking bootloader, which I think might be a big reason why people have so much trouble with vzw s-off. I'm not too familiar with HTC, is there an official way to roll back the firmware without s-off?

But with the VZW model, you need to get s-off before unlocking bootloader, which I think might be a big reason why people have so much trouble with vzw s-off. I'm not too familiar with HTC, is there an official way to roll back the firmware without s-off?

i was looking for RUUs but I dont think it might be possible and i dont want to brick it lol, i also tried going to htcdev to unlock but said model not supported , now if i could dp that, that would be great to rollback
Does anyone know if the OTA 4.4.3 will kill any current methods of unlocking, rooting, flashing, etc in my brand new device? 4.4.2 / 1.58.502.1
Im traveling at the moment (not much time for researching, mistakes) and the battery life isn't all that great, I'd like to see what the OTA brings until I can get in front of a computer (limited to a mac, if it makes a difference) and go to town on this bad boy.
Thanks in advance.

I unlocked right after the OTA, and root/recovery is always possible after unlocking.

Is 4.4.3 rolling out for AT&T? I haven't heard of this yet.
firewater s-off has been patched in newer 4.4.3 hboots. Not sure about your present hboot, but I believe firewater will still work on your current setup.
You should still be able to use sunshine to s-off after OTA, but it costs $25.
Bootloader unlock (and therefore flashing ROMs and rooting) are still available if you OTA. S-off is only needed to do certain things. But if you do want s-off, doing so with firewater is something to consider.
