[Q] unrevoked 3.2.1 S-On tool help please!! :( - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i rooted via unrevoked 3.2.1 and now i need to unroot to return the phone... i downloaded the new RUU but i need to turn S-on first right? i keep flashing the s-on tool and it says it installs correctly but the next time i boot it up it still says s-off. i flashed it like 35 times and it keeps saying s-off, why isnt it working? Please help... time is of the essence.

That is easy. What boot loader are you using? If it is an engineering boot, like the one Needed for cyanogenmod, it will always say s-off. Just flash s-on a few times and then use the ruu. Boot into boot loader after to make sure s is on. Should Be as simple as that.

Is this all you have done?
There are tons of things to try!
Go into the recovery and delete all cache, try boot
Re-run the Revolutionary tool, try boot.
Try the alpharev 1.8 flasher http://alpharev.nl/ to try to downgrade with the bravo_downgrade.img
If this hboot-flash succeeds you may be able to run any ruu again, try Froyo.
This was just a couple of thing that crossed my mind, search this and other forums.

what rom u have? did u do something in the recovery? like wiping something or flash an other rom?
ok all i did was run the htc desire RUU gingerbread which unrooted my phone . then i ran revolutionary to get s-off when revolutionary finishes i reboot the phone and it doesnt get pass splash screen
i have s-off so im guessing revolutionary worked back with the old hboo (6.93.00)
Can you get into recovery? If so, download Cyanogenmod (or another rom) and flash that

[Q] How do I perm root and get s-off?

First off, I am a noob, but I have worked for hours trying to get my phone to S-OFF and i'm getting tired of all the methods I've seen and my phone not allowing them. So please, no hate for saying you're a noob don't bother rooting, because I'm still determined.
I have followed the HTCdev's guide to unlocking your bootloader. It then successfully got unlocked, and SuperUser even installed onto my phone, I can load up superuser just fine and I've also got ROM Manager. I tried downloading the CyanogenMod File, and it worked. Then I tried flashing the ClockwordModRecovery, it said it was succesfully, however, when I went in to boot my ROM it came up with a red triangle, and said the custom recovery wasn't working.
I then checked my phone to see if it was S-OFF but it wasn't.
Currently my phone details are:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version: 2.1
and when I go into recovery these are the details displayed:

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS.
I would like a suitable method to root my phone which isn't too complicated.
I'm willing to reset to factory settings if needs be.
Thank you very much.
This is the best, most reliable, and most supported way to get s-off on the G2/DZ.
Unlocked bootloader (which HTC Unlock gives you) and S-Off are not the same thing.
If you want S-Off, you still need to downgrade, then root and run gfree the "old" Wiki method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453066
You can still flash the recovery and flash custom ROMs without S-Off, but you have to do it through fastboot, which is also explained in the link I just gave. If you did not use fastboot to flash clockwork, then I would assume this is why you are getting the red exclamation (stock recovery).

You need to be on a stock rom to use the HAck Kit to gain S-OFF. Try flashing a stock rom and then run the Hack kit.

If the phone is S-ON, then technically it's not rooted. Search for the latest AAHK thread and follow it. It explains that first you need to downgrade and then your phone becomes rooted and hence S-off.

First of all, go here and download the hack kit:

And before doing nothing, read the manual and ask if you have some doubts.

Guys, he has an unlocked bootloader and is running a custom rom. The Hack Kit only works with locked bootloaders (as RUU´s do) and stock rom. So, he first needs to revert to a stock rom, relock the bootloader and then use the Hack Kit.
Running the Hack Kit from a custom rom will get him stuck...

Exactly, I have rooted and already got a custom rom on it, It just not S-OFF, so I need to set S-OFF, at least please tell me how to lock the bootloader back, so I can use hack kit to root and s off again. I tried with RUU to restore but RUU also failed. Right now I'm so screwed up, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Ok, the first you need is to find if there is a RUU for your phone. You need to find the CID number of your phone and then see if there is a ruu that matches that. Was your phone branded to a carrier? If there is no RUU for your phone, then you will have to create a goldcard to be able to flash another RUU to revert to stock.
Once you get the ruu, you need to relock the bootloader in order to flash that RUU, by booting in fastboot usb (boot in hboot and plug the phone, if HBOOT USB PLUG is highlighted in blue, just press power to toggle to fastboot usb). Open a cmd as admin in the pc and type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check that your bootloader says *RELOCKED* at the top left corner. Then in fastboot usb, just run the RUU. When you are done, you can run the Hack Kit.
If you need further help, just let me know.

Thanks for the great replay,
I'm not sure if it was branded, cos I got it from my cousin and when I get from him, it was rooted and had a custom rom with it. Then after I got it I tried to install JellyTime and failed, then tried to flash with this RUU (RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed), then it also failed.
Then later I was able to install never version of ClockworkMod recovery and installed Blackout ICS incredible, and I also made a gold card. now my SD is a gold card. after I installed Blackout ICS incredible, phone works ok now, but I have no Wi-Fi, I think the wifi not work because it's S-ON.
I tried to S-OFF all the way possible but I was not able to do that. And I can only get internet to phone with mobile network or Internet Passthrough from Windows.
Now I'm gonna try the way you explained here and lets see if I get any success, and please let me know if any other solution out there, cos I really need Wi-Fi on this
Thanks again!!!! :good:
THANKS glevitan, THANKS TO YOU I FIXED MY PROBLEM, I INSTALLED JellyTime AGAIN AND Wi-Fi ALSO WORKING NOW!!!

Help requested for bootloop with no recovery, hboot/fastboot only...

I have a Dinc that bootloops at the splash screen. I can get into Hboot/Fastboot but cannot get into Recovery (bootloops again). I was able to flash the latest(?) 4.08.605.15 PB31IMG but no change. The device is S-on with the 1.07 hboot. There are several possible ways to recover the device but only if I can flash the .77 ENG Hboot (or get S-off somehow). I have the Hboot img but it will not flash. If i try to flash in hboot it just reads the file then skips it. If I try to flash through fastboot it gives me a signature verify error. I have tried flashing it with the HTCdev unlock and with it relocked but no dice. I believe my only hope is to try and repartition the device or flash a nv image that I have for the Dinc but I am gonna need an ENG bootloader/S-Off for that.
Anyone know any tricks I may have missed or know of a way to get S-off with only hboot/fastboot?
Thanks for any assistance as I have been working on this on and off for a week now, I appreciate any help

HTC one V Hboot 1.18 installing stock RUU-S ON

Hi guys...
i desperately in need of help. i am in stock rom and i wanted to root my HTC and i did unlocked using HTC dev method. and installed CWM recovery. it worked fine for about 6 months (plz note i never flashed any custom rom, just unlocked with the stock rom)
but now suddenly my sim card is not detected. when i go to settings the flight mode says 'turning off' and it never turns off...and hence my sim not working. so i decided to reinstall stock RUU but it says wrong RUU and failed.
Info:
****Unlocked****
PrimoU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
Hboot 1.18.0000
Radio-3831.19.00.120
eMMC-boot
CID : HTC_038
i tried flashing stock recovery and relock the mobile and then RUU but it fails.now when i searched in internet i came to know that i need to down grade hboot 1.18 since no RUU is available for this version and for doing so i need to do S-OFF. i tried rum runner but it ended up in failed to update error. so plz help me. :crying:
I want to know why the radio is not working and also how to revert back to stock RUU.?
P.S :i have a doubt on how it happened-last week i updated SuperSU and on recovery menu in Hboot it showed me warning that " Rom will flash stock recovery, proceed to fix.? " i gave no...i am not sure but i thing it may be the reason because i havent done anything new since i rooted my mobile.
take a backup with CWM recovery
bro before doing anything to stock rom pls backup through CWM recovery
1st of all, to find a compatible RUU for your phone the hboot is irelevant, you need to figure out what's your CID. There is a CID application on play store that will tell you what you need: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tritonsoft.cidgetter&hl=ro
2nd from what i understood in your post you are still able to use the ROM somewhat, try to activate ADB in developer settings and reboot the phone through adb command. you will need to install android SDK and update your envoirnment variables in windows. you can lookup a tutorial on google about how to do that or if you can't find it you can PM me and i can give you some instructions.
it's very important to find a way to reboot your phone in bootloader because in order to reflash a RUU you need to relock your bootloader and to flash back the stock recovery.
it does not sound to me like your phone will be hard to fix (i had a lot worse and still managed to fix it ^^)
good luck with these steps, see if you can get any results and update here, we'll figure something out
cheers
