HTC-enheder

Alock virker ikke når du bruger en enheder med S-ON. Denne 'feature' findes på mange HTC-enheder og gør at Alock ikke kan skrive til hosts-filen.

S-ON/S-OFF?

S-OFF betyder at NAND-delen af din enhed er ulåst og kan skrives til. Standard-indstillingen for HTC-enheder er S-ON, hvilket betyder at du hverken kan tilgå bestemte områder af filsystemet eller sikre dig en permanent root-adgang. Ydermere, signatur-tjek for dine firmware-images er også påvirket af S-ON.

Har jeg S-ON eller S-OFF?

Boot into the Boot Menu on your device by holding down volume down button while pressing power and the text on top will show the flag status as either S-OFF or S-ON. A full root generally means S-OFF.
