The 1.06 bootloader for an XDAII is locked from iMate so it prevents new OS builds from being flashed. Is there a way to unlock 1.06 or even downgrade to an unlocked version of the bootloader.
Thank-you

2-how can i know whether touch diamond has a cid , securty locked?
thx for answering
Go in bootloader mode (SOFT RESET + VOL UP)
If in SPL there's the word "Olinex", your cid is unlocked

Actually your bootloader will say OliNex and the version.
If it doesn't, don't flash any roms as it means your device is not Hard SLP which is what protects your phone from getting destroyed.
Mine say's security unlocked in RED on the top of bootloader screen and spl-1.40.OliNex

You should update your Hard SPL to 1.93 found in my signature.
as i said the touch diamond was simlockfree when i bought it. also every touch diamond is securty locked? doesnt matter if it is simlockfree or not. i mean the bought touch diamonds hava always securty locked. in order to flash to a custom rom it needs to be remove the security, cid.
i did not use the olinex because it was simlockfree. how can i see whether it is cid locked or not.
thx

No you don't need to have your device "Security Unlocked" as the purpose of this is to use other devices radios. No phones are bought retail with Sucurity restrictions unlocked. Don't worry as this is Not necessary!
What is necessary is to put 1.93 Hard SPL on your device to flash a rom.
Been waiting for so long, finally htcDev unlock its boot loader for WFS. My WFS was using Stock Rom Asia before it's unlocked. I found that i couldn't unlock my bootloader via htcDev due to my stock rom availability. So i upgrade my rom to European stock rom using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363693 . and it worked. I unlocked my WFS through htcDev. Then moved to the next step, root my WFS, installed CWM_Recovery_5.0.2.6., installed custom rom. And now ive been facing new problem, i have upgraded my radio from htcDev.com which doesn't work good for my country area. Internet become slower . You know that is so hard to downgrade radio files even using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363547 . So please you guys help me solve this problem..to get back my radio file,my radio file was radio_47.10.35.3029h.....please help

I have the same version of the wildfire s, prefer to have 7.53.39.03 radio and 1.08.0099 hboot. I haven't found a problem with T-Mobile network using these versions

May I know if One X is able to be S-OFF, is it mean that even the bootloader status is locked and we still can root and flash custom rom? How it different with unlock bootloader using HTCDev? sry for noob question..
No you need to be unlocked to root and flash custom roms. As of now HTCDev is the only method to allow unlocking.
Simple method. We don't know when Revolutionary will release their tool.
S-ON + LOCKED = You can only use official HTC firmware and only for the specific branded version you have.
S-ON + UNLOCKED = You unlocked it via htcdev. You're able to change the system and recovery images to allow for custom firmware. You can't alter anything regarding the baseband aka cell radio. HTC know you unlock via htcdev as they make you enter your serial number and other details to generate a phone specific unlock token. This will affect your warranty as any software caused faults are your own problem. General hardware warranty is still the same.
S-ON + RELOCKED = You relocked it after unlocking via htcdev. Same as S-ON + LOCKED except it shows you relocked.
S-OFF = No restrictions at all by the bootloader. You can alter everything. HTC don't let you do this and you need somebody else to work out a flaw in the bootloader to do it. Technically this voids your warranty as well but if you relock and don't leave any evidence that you did so then HTC won't know.

No one knows about S-off.
It doesn't mean we can root and flash custom roms even on the locked bootloader. It was a different and unofficial way of unlocking the bootloader which can be locked again when we need.
We can do the same thing even in this HTC dev method, I mean locking the bootloader, but after that the status of the bootloader will be RELOCKED not locked. That means HTC people may know that our device is already unlocked before.
One more thing (which I heard and I am not sure), we can't flash ported roms on our device unless and until we have S-off.

Hi,
Just some general questions, I have only had my HOX for two weeks, not new to rooting and flashing
However find this device is more complicated than previous desire.
Anyway my questions for info if possible, I have checked my HOX which is S-ON, not unlocked bootloader yet
Or rooted or anything, my cid as stated in title is HTC_001, hboot is 1.12, so should I unlock my bootloader
And flash away, until offical ota in update. Or leave bootloader until jb update.
I am concerned that if I don't unlock the bootloader that after the ota jb update, I won't be able to unlock
My bootloader.
Hope this makes sense...

Since we have no method to achieve s-off currently.
The only alternative was unlocking bootloader through htcdev in official way.
Hence, you can do it anytime if you wanted..

Ok so even if I wait for the ota jb update from HTC, I will still be able to unlock my bootloader
And not have any issues regardless of my hboot updating, HTC can't stop me unlocking
My bootloader using their development site.
Ps thanks for the reply.

I have been trying to get s-off on my desire hd using htcdev website, everything went ok, but bootloader is still saying s-on. Does anyone know what may cause this problem? I am running amdroid 2.3.5, sw number is 3.12.405.1, kernel 2.6.35.10, baseband 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M. Device was already rooted by HTC Quick Root /w universal exploit
Thanks in advance
Htcdev will not get you S-Off. It will only unlock your bootloader, but it will still be S-On. You need AAHK for S-Off.
I can't get off either. Oh, that's s-off. Missed that.

Relocked the bootloader and run aahk.
Read intensely on http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?cat=6
relocked bootloader and used aahk, thanks guys
