Lost S-off

Need to return my leedroid 2.2.2 to stock.
Somehow i have lost eng s-off. Tried to install different radio but it wouldnt allow me, as bootloader says ship s-off. So have been advised that i need to downgrade again, and go through the s-off / root process again - Here
How do i go back to the easy rooted 1.32 stock again. I have an RUU for that version, but its not seeing the phone. Found a workaround - Here - but it only got so far before the phone froze, and the installer said it couldnt find phone.
Thought for a minute i had bricked the phone, so after crapping myself, decided to seek help here on how to return to 1.32!

Look at the rooting tutorials for 1.72.
AFAIK, you need to change the version number for this to work (to allow downgrade).

Do you have ship s-off or you do not?

You can't flash a radio because you don't have eng s-off, therefore no fastboot commands.
Just flash any ruu you want using the pd98img.zip method and all shall be stock. Launching an ruu update from your pc is notoriously unreliable and I would never recommend it.
Here is a guide to the method if you have no idea whet I'm talking about.

Had tried to flash pd98img from my sd card but kept getting some error (cant remember what it was now, will check again later). So thought maybe needed to use the RUU to go back to a stock ROM, but was just guessing at that. Will have another go at PM98IMG when i get home from work.

You have Radio S-OFF, so you do not have to use the downgrade guide. Just flash 1.32.405.6 stock ROM using PD98IMG.zip (get that from the downgrade guide), and then you can use my Radio S-OFF tool to go S-ON. You can also check the S-ON instructions in my tool thread.

Thanks. I tried last night to do this (though i was going to go the full downgrade route) but couldnt get it to install. But i was selecting the zip from sd card, which i think is wrong? (hboot will pick the zip up itself?)
Can you briefly explain to me what S-ON is? Im a total noob here, and always thought we were looking S-OFF to flash Kernels, Radios etc.
I owe you a thanks. Already handed out 5 today and cant give any more!

hmm having problems. Have got back to stock ok. But when i try to run your tool i keep getting connection error. Have tried in XP and win 7, and from root of drive as some others have suggested worked for them. Any ideas?
EDIT: Think i have it sorted.

[Q] Upgrade HBOOT

Hi there
i have Hboot 0.80 And I want to S-OFF my phone!
alpharevx for HBOOT 1.01
what do i do?
Thanks all

It took me ages but probably because I took the long way round.
I think I formatted my SD card and made as gold card, then used the RUU tool in the Arabic RUU thread below this one.
That worked for me after a day of trial and error. I guess there is a quicker way. Search the forums I know alot of rooting guides have popped up since Alpha-Rev release.

Just go to Unrevoked.com, download their app and S-OFF+ROOT+Recovery install on your phone. HBOOT 0.80 is rootable, because it's the old version. You don't need Alpharev X.

It will not give S-OFF. Just a Custom Recovery and root. If you want S-OFF, you will have to go for AlphaRev X.

I did it by flashing RUU with Froyo (this update HBOOT) and next, I used alpharevx.

Thanks a lot
I'll download the froyo RUU and then write my result here.

try that it works for me...just select the applicable RUU to your region then your S-OFF!!!
I got HBOOT 1.02 after running RUU but when I run alpharevx it still got s-off.
Don't forget to install and uninstall HTC Sync so you won't encounter driver issues.
Then when your already s-off follow the instructions on the link below then that's it you got full control!!!

Branded no system and S-ON

Hi,
i just bought htc desire branded by Orange, i dont know wheres is phone from.
I unrooted it by flashing RUU ROM from shipedroms by PB99IMG.zip. Everything was ok but system failed (fail-pu). I tryed it again and it wroted "invalid cid".
Now i have phone with defaul bootloader (S-ON) and without any ROM and i dont know how to get some into it. ADB dont see any device and i have only access throught fastboot.
Do you have any idea how to fix it?
I would realy appreciate it.

Post your HBoot information if you want some help.
Also check bortak's awesome and often overlooked troubleshooting guide stickied on this section for some self help.

make goldcard
--or
risk 2.3 ruu

My HBOOT:
HBOOT 0.93.0001
PVT4
S-ON

Hi, I helping dziosh with this. I try update and RUU_HTC...exe end with force close. But I dont know how i go to download mod(I think) where adb now see the device but offline. Restart server not working and on display is phone with exclamation point in triangle. I repeat, we dont have functional ROM, recovery, and S-OFF.
Any idea ?
PS sorry for my english.
Thx for reply.

Download mode- do you mean hboot or fastboot? Start the phone with power and vol - held down - for hboot for fastboot power and back button... Without goldcard you can't flash WWE RUU, try to find Froyo for Orange or risk it with 2.3.3 from HTC dev... Single exclamation mark means stock recovery... Exclamation mark in each corner means sort of fastboot

Sorry this not be download mod. And we can't flash any rom by PB99IMG.zip way(S-ON, Brand and dont have goldcard). Can we do this over the fastboot SDK or somethink else ?
BTW Can we get CID SD card without functional ROM ? Example From other desire with same SD card?

any android phone can read cid of the card and create gold card

I got back my warranty repaired Desire the other day with this configuration. Unrevoked doesn't work, I can only assume because of the PVT4, I already had a gold card which had helped root several phones but this didn't help.
In the end the only resort was to S-off using revolutionary.io, no gold card required.
Once you are s-offed (and the process can add a recovery) you can boot into recovery and flash a downloaded rom.

Ok we have gold card but all tutorials for s-off need functional rom
Any idea?

i could not root it by revolutionary because i dont have system. I have only access to bootloader with s-on, i need some procedure to root it without system.
could anynone help ?

As you have goldcard install WWE RUU, then go for s off

S-off does not require a functional rom. Simply go to revoltionary.io and download their beta tool and get a key to use it.
Whatever you've been reading about instructions requiring a rom is incorrect.

How to S-off after HTCDev Unlock?

Hi everyone,
I want to S-off my device again, so I don't need to reflash the Boot.img of every custom rom over and over again.
I've tried to flash my device with the DHD Stock 1.32 Rom to use jkoljo's method for S-off'ing my device.
So I put the PD98IMG.zip on my SDcard and let the HBoot flash it. After the reboot I got stuck at HTC Logo and this happens too after flashing PD98IMG.zip's boot.img
So is there another way to S-off my device while I'm HTCDevUnlocked or is it game over for S-off?
I've googled for some time on the net, but I couldn't find a DHD specific result.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, will try it when I got the time
I guess, I need to be on an original rom or a Sense-rom
Do you know how I can flash an original rom from HTC itself? I thought it was like putting P98IMG.zip on the sd and let HBoot find it and flash it.
But after that I got stuck at HTC-logo, and flashing the boot.img doesn't work neither :s
I really don't know how to flash DHD's Froyo rom after (HTCDev) unlocking my device

Run the RUU of the OS you were last on, so if you were on WWE 2.50 run that RUU, or if you were on 3.12 Sense 3.0 then run that, relock the bootloader, and run attn1's Ace Hack Kit, it will automatically do the downgrade for you so you get S-OFF.

So I need to relock it before I can run that RUU?

my wildfire is on HBOOT 1.01.0002 and s-off

hello, as i said my wildfire with HBOOT 1.01.0002 and it's written that it's S-OFF but when i try to flash recovery it wont. i rooted my phone before but i installed stock 2.2.1 rom recently. so do i have to make the whole process from the beginning and downgrade then S-off and all that stuff?

PLEASE answer me i'm afraid of bricking my phone and i do really need to root it now. will there be a problem if S-off while it's already s-off?

This also happened to me when I re-installed the stock ROM on my Wildfire. I did the whole process from the beginning again and it worked like a treat.
Message me if you need any help.

What method are you using to flash the recovery? Fast boot is not enabled on that bootloader version. You must use the pc49img method.

Flash the Revolutionary HBOOT
Fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
Or you can use the dd if of method.
