Install ENG HBOOT (S-OFF) >>Step 2 - ENG HBOOT (S-OFF)<<
If your flashing a radio I strongly recommend >>Radio S-OFF<<

No, he needs ENG S-OFF, not Radio S-OFF

Yes, as far as I know, ENG S-Off is must to have to revert (downgrade) radio.

Apologies, Eddie1506 is correct you only need ENG S-OFF.
However, I still recommend Radio S-OFF. If your unlucky enough to flash a radio that prevents root & downgrading, Radio S-OFF comes to the rescue.

thats only if you flash the OTA update if you flash the radio sepereately you dont loose root and S-OFF

You can't do radio s-off after upgrading the radio so best to do it before. If you don't you won't have any opportunity to downgrade the radio again if it gives you any issues. It's unlikely you will get issues but better safe than sorry.

[Q] unable to get eng s-off on leedroid 1.51

Today i have flashed the latest leedroid rom but i am now unable to flash the matching radio im guessing this is down to my phone being ship s-off not eng s-off. previous to the new update i was able to flash radios with no problem now i get REMOTE NOT ALLOWED. i have tried putting my phone back to eng s-off but get an error "incompatible ROM/Kernal with the easy s-off tool.
How would i be able to get eng s-off back to flash the radio?
any help would be greatly appieciated.

the eng s-off tool isnt compatible with newer roms with custom kernels, do a nandroid backup of your current rom, then flash an older based rom with a STOCK HTC KERNEL. run the s-off tool, then restore your backup

Thats correct. Good to know. You learn something everyday.
From the One click S-OFF Thread:
System requirements:
•Windows XP SP2 or higher
•.NET Framework 3.5
•HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
•Desire HD with original kernel (or Buzz 1.0.7 / 1.1.4 Sense). It is best to use STOCK ROM (lower than 1.7x)! The new HTC radio does not work.

Thank you that worked a treat. why didn't i yhink of that...

No i just flashed an old cyanogenmod rom that i had on my pc and that worked just fine.

is your phone ENG S-OFF or SHIP S-OFF? (written at the top of the screen in the bootloader)
to flash radio, you need both Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF.
and what exactly does the error say in adb.

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] Can I flash?

After holding vol down + boot key I get this:
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT - 0.85.2007 (PD9810000)
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.04.02.05_M2
SYSTEM INFO:
OS Ver-1.39.161.1
In the phone's settings I found this:
Kernel 2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod
Android version 2.3.1
Mod version CM7-RC0-DHD-PNK14
Compilation number GRH78
I have visionary installed and a console emulator, I can su, so the device is rooted. But I want to do an S-OFF. I tried it and it told me that I'm running on an unsupported kernel. I believe that it's because of the cyanogen mod installed instead of a stock rom.
What can I do in order to be able to do a S-OFF? What should I flash? How? Where do I get it?
Regards

Someone else may be able to correct me, but in the fist line, your phone already told you that it is S-OFF, hence why it is not letting you do this again, probably not down to the kernel you are running.

What do you want to flash? A new radio? a different rom? Did you want to upgrade your version of cyanogenmod to the latest version. Download link and instructions for installing Cyanogenmod 7.0.0 RC4
Desire HD Radio thread on XDA-Developers
Hope this is of some use.

It is actually down to the kernel, please read the tool's requirements.. But that being said, you already have at least ENG S-OFF. You can check radio S-OFF in bootloader's system info, if the CID is 11111111, you have it.
To get radio S-OFF, flash Raidroid stockify series ROM and then run the tool again. You also have to get older radio, read the requirements...

I checked my CID and it says VODAP304, so it's a branded device.
I searched the forums for Radroid stockify ROM and I found this thread, but the info says "These ROMs are simply debranded and rooted stock roms...".
Can I flash a debranded ROM on a branded device? Also, there are no requirements in that thread, so I'm noot really sure what radio should I get. In fact, there are a few ROMs and I don't know which one is the correct for my phone.
One last thing, I made a goldcard, because I red that that's a requirement in order to flash ROMs to a branded device. Am I right?
Regards

Hi, as you have ENG S-OFF and clockworkmod, the branded CID does not affect anything. Raidroid does not have requirements. Every DHD ROM is compatible with every DHD device.
If you want to use my radio S-OFF tool, get the radio I recommend in my tool's thread.

I found a quick guide here and a detailed guide here about how to flash a radio. But they both say that my device must be radio s-off and eng s-off, and my device is only eng s-off, right? (I'm not sure about that, so please correct me if I'm wrong).
So, in order to flash a radio I need to do a radio s-off, but I'm not able because of the kernel that I'm using.
What should I do? Is it safe to flash a Raidroid stockift ROM, then flash the radio that you recommend in the radio s-off thread, and then do the radio s-off?
f that's not the way, could you tell me what to do first?
Regards

Yep, do it like this:
Download & flash Raidroid 1.32.405.6
Flash older radio, do not care about radio s-off
Get radio S-OFF using my tool
Flash any radio & ROM you like

I'm flashing the ROM right now. Should I do a full wipe? (I'm looking this guide)

It is always good to do that.

Great! I have been doing this all day, and I finally made it!
Now I'm planing to install the Android Revolution HD 4 ROM, so I'll make a full wipe again, but what if next month there is a 4.0.1? Should I do another full wipe?
Anyways, that is just a small question, as everything else went perfect. Thank you so much for you support!
Regards

Well it depends, it is always good to do a full wipe.. Mike will give instructions about that when the time comes. Full wipe is not always necessary.

[Q] Flashin ROM and Radio

Hi everyone.
I'm going to flash the latest Android Revolution Rom. I've done it before, so i should be fine, but i have some questions :
- I'm a bit confused with ENG S-OFF and Radio S-OFF. How can i know whith certainty if my phone is ENG S-OFF/Radio S-OFF ?
-I'm flashing the radio which is recommended with the Android Revolution Rom. Should i flash the Radio before the rom or after ?
Thanks.

With only radio off, it would say ship-off in your bootloader. This means you still needa eng-off.
With eng off, it would say eng-off but you still needa check radio. Check sys info if your CID has only ones in them rather than HTC something.
If you have both eng-off and massive 1s in CID, your fine

do you need eng s-off to flash a rom? is radio s-off enough?

Doesn't matter when you flash the radio

Radio s-off is enough for roms. Its also enough to flash radios aswell, though its different method than what's promoted in the dhd section.
Over in the Inspire section we flash them by using pd98img zips and flashing through hboot. I think its easier as I can download a radio on the go and test it out straight from my phone. But to each their own
No Hay de Queso No Mas de Papa

So in my bootloader, it says ENG S-OFF. However, the CID is HTC_203 so i suppose i don't have Radio S-OFF. But isn't it mandatory to flash new Rom/Radio ?
The one-click Radio S-OFF doesn't work with me. I have the "unknown error, probably connection". Should i flash back the stock rom before attempting to radio S-OFF ?

cheers thanks for clearing that up. i'm very new to this and eng s-off has too many warnings attached to it for me to attempt it at the moment

But still, should we flash the radio before flashing the rom or after?

Hi reneftw,
It does not matter. Every ROM runs with most (or all) of the radios. If you already have the recommend radio, there is no need to flash it at all.
I have flashed the recommend radio after my first custom ROM.

I do not have the recommended radio, but my Phone works very good. Is it necessarily to flash the right version of the radio?

Hi Kaidjin,
it is recommend to flash the Radio S-OFF, because it is more permanent. If you flash a locked bootloader (by mistake or by auto update or whatever), you still have the SuperCID from the Radio S-OFF.
Try another USB port, cable and PC. Try newest HTC sync. Do u have USB debugging enabled?
Do you accept the SU Request during the flash of Radio S-OFF? If your screen timeout is too short, maybe you dont see this request.
I recommend to always flash Radio S-OFF and Eng S-OFF (in this order, but it works the other way too).

If your phone works fine, it is not necessary. If you have issues with battery drain, signal strength, GPS or WiFi, try the recommend.

None of the above. Thanx for the help.

General consensus is latest radio does help with battery life and reception. I suppose if your have no issue with them then it's fine. But I am sure everyone loves improved battery life.
And yes it is recommended to have both radio and eng off before you flash radio.

I once was in your positions and yes, I had to recover the 1.32 sense rom to get it work, then recovered again to the existing rom.
But a friend of mine had no problem with CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1, which I was also using, though.
