HTC One owner with ambitions modification can rejoice: For the past Friday, the HTC One are provided with S-Off and is doing so in two ways. We explain what this means and how it works.
Fortunately, HTC has in recent months greatly improved its bootloader policy: While it was previously possible only with the aid of exploits, so vulnerabilities, decrypt bootloader on his HTC smartphone and unlock, you can thanks to HTC Dev page do today without any problems – including the current flagship smartphone HTC one. How to do this, we describe in our root guide for the HTC one.
a special mechanism existing in HTC devices, the complete write permissions granted to the system partitions –because of course that’s missing is S-Off. With S-off it is possible to change the so-called CID, a provider identifier for the device, which determines which updates are installed on the corresponding smartphone. So you can not just remove provider branding, but also the so-called SuperCID 11111111 take: With the installation of any of these RUU files (firmware packages with HTC) is possible, including older versions and firmware for other providers. Particularly in relation to the expected Google Edition of the HTC one that is important – as it is SuperCID to flash firmwares alleged problem corresponding
.
No question, those deeper modification processes involve risks and should in principle be carried out only by experienced users who know what they are doing. Anyone that claims can now perform one of two new S-off methods for the HTC one.
As for the Moonshine is a method for you an Ubuntu Linux (32 bit preferred) required. Live CDs and memory sticks are supported VMs. Under moonshine.io you will find the instructions. When Moonshine method is a custom HBOOT installed, the boot loader is unlocked and the same with the device apparently also rooted – Unlock over a HTCdev more is needed
.
The second method is a preview version of what will soon be integrated into the available for many HTC devices Revolutionary Tool, Working Title RevOne. For this you need ADB, which gives (available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS) on the installation of the Android SDK to the latest version. Further instructions are in a thread of XDA-Developers. With RevOne it is also possible to reset the “Tampered” flag, which indicates whether the device has been modified at the system level.
Have you already unlocked the bootloader in HTC one, maybe even already achieved S-Off and SuperCID? Told us about it – in the comments
