I just can't bring myself to do it for some reason. It's annoying the bejesus outta me b/c I know it works and it's been proven relatively safe. Just can't bring myself to do the wire bit.
I did - I electrocuted myself and my cat at the same time. Luckily my kids were sleeping and my wife wasn't in the room or they would have gotten the juice as well.
But I'm S-OFF - poor cat will never be the same
The biggest reason I did it, outside of because I can, is to make my life easier when flashing ROMs. More sooner or later, as it sounds, there will not be s-on versions available.
That is the way it sounds at least.....
That was my primary beef with S-Off. But as usually the rational was drown out by the irrational over in "The forum that shall not be named". Although that's also why I'm biding my time until AOSP get's done. Then I'm leaving that place until I get my next phone lol
You're probably like me and can't find a real reason to do it. I've been moding my phones for the last 6 years or more and yet I can't find a single reason to make me WANT to go S-Off.
you just have to flash the ruu or PH file in fastboot to go back. s-off is the way to go if your a flashaholic like me.
I hated all the extra steps (yeah I know their werent many) that I had to go through coming from Sammy
I did it a couple of times when I hada bad flash with the ROM I am on. It isnt that hard or complicated to go back to stock. I do know that you absolutely can go back.
I will try to find the guide either while I am at work or when I get home tonight.....
I used a piece of coax to do it, it seemed easier than a wire or paperclip but that is just me.
