Just to be clear, I'm not criticizing those folks if they're no longer trying. I haven't bothered checking the S5 or S6 but I'm confident they're not exploitable either. The S4 uses presumably the same security (my wife had one so I was a little up to speed on them). I mean, my previous phone was a Galaxy S3 and Samsung / VZW locked them down tight. It's starting to appear that many of these folks who can figure this sh*t out are losing interest in working on devices from Verizon and other carriers who go to extreme lengths to lock them down. Unless by chance jcase discovered an exploit and HTC found it as well and fixed it. Went that route a couple of months ago and been happily flashing custom Rom goodness ever since.
Best if you can find someone in your area to meet with to avoid shipping the device. Plenty of helpful members with Java Cards to get you S-Off now. Might as well enjoy the new software while you wait. Odds are you could be waiting a long time. S-Off already works on 5.1 but Verizon users are still waiting for a root exploit as before. There is no sense in waiting on an update for a root exploit that may or may not ever come.
Harmless unless you want to meet up the next time I drive down to Delaware.
With that, it will probably undo all the work jcase has done up to this point. For those of us waiting patiently for jcase to release an s-off method, I'm thinking it might be better to avoid updating? I can only imagine the hboot will get an update with this 5.1 update. 5.1 Update and s-off - Verizon HTC One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting The official 5.1 update is on it's way from Verizon next week.
