[Q] S-ON for my Desire? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, so the US Cellular RUU is out and that is cool. I have a broken Desire that I would like to get fixed under warranty. I flashed the RUU and it un-rooted my phone but the bootloader still shows that the security flag is off (S-OFF). Is there a way to set S-ON? I rooted and set S-OFF via unrevoked. On their page is has said that S-ON is coming soon - but it has said that for a long time. I also have another working Desire so I can get anything off of that if needed.
Thanks,
Pete

I am technically inclined so I will try pretty much anything to get this thing setup with the security flag on again.

A way to contact the unrevoked team?
Anyone know how to contact team unrevoked? I am just wondering how soon the 'coming soon' is for S-ON for the CDMA Deisre. Thanks in advance..

I just attempted to set s-on for my CDMA Desire with the unrevoked-forever-son.zip. It errored out with an incorrect radio message. Is there a way to set s-on for my BravoC Desire? Wondering if there is a radio I can use?

Don't think you can get S-ON again at the moment, you can go back to stock ROM-wise with the new RUU

This is exactly correct - I flashed the Alltel RUU that downgraded my radio to a version that unrevoked-forever-son.zip is compatible with. I attempted to run the update from within recovery and it gracefully told me my device was not supported. So I am on to waiting for unrevoked to add s-on support for the CDMA Desire.

I'm waiting for S-ON too. S-OFF broke my MMS (maybe s-on will fix it) but I need to take it back to bluegrass.

[Q] Still can't unroot my Evo's Unrevoked 3! Please help!

I am still unable to unroot my EVO 4G. It is rooted using Unrevoked3.
I have tried everything to unroot this device.
The main issue that i have is that when I start the bootloader it does not scan for PC36IMG.zip.
I have also tried to run the stock RUU installer.
Nothing seems to work?
Please ask any questions that will help.
My bootloader shows:
SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-ON
HB -2.10.0001
MICROP - 041f
TOUCH PANEL - ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO - 2.15.00.11.19
What version of Android is your phone running?
Are you sure the PCIMG36.img file is named correctly?
Does your bootloader show S-OFF or S-ON?
What happens when you try to run the RUU? And what version of the RUU are you trying to run?
Okay I see your post now that I posted mine. S-ON mean's your phone is essentially unrooted. If it is not seeing your PCIMG36.zip file it may be because it is not an official one. S-ON means it will check the signature of that file, and if it isn't signed by HTC it will not load.

It is running Android 2.2
And PC36IMG is named correctly.
Where could I find one signed by HTC?
I rooted with unrevoked3 also. I had to flash the s-on tool and that got s-on. Bootloader didn't recognize the PC36IMG.zip file in bootloader also and that ended up being an sdcard issue.
I formatted my SD card to see if it would eliminate that problem, do you think that would do it?
It was the SD Thanks guys!
If you have S-ON already, you just need to flash an official HTC RUU.

[Q] Upgraded to 2.3 Now want to go back to use unlock utility (no root or goldcard)

Hi all,
I've never rooted or made a goldcard for my desire, but I upgraded to 2.3 using the RUU and was so pleased with the de-branding I wanted to unlock it too...
I tried to use this utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16227825#post16227825 but it didn't work with HBOOT 1.02.0001 and RADIO-5.17.05.23
I tried to use the original RUUs to downgrade my phone, but it doesn't work and I get loads of different errors with different RUUs like 131, 140, 130 etc... basically telling me the carrier ID is incorrect or the RUU is the wrong version.
Is there a way I can restore an older ROM and HBOOT to be able to use the unlock utility?
Sorry, but at the moment there is no way to do what you want. But I am pretty sure there will be very soon.

In short: No
Longer: It MAY emerge as developers go to work on the update, but as you must have read when you ran the update there is no way back that is supported by hTC, and s-off or any kind of root will not work so far. The best you can do is to wait.

Thanks guys... no, I skipped reading that part but I was hoping the latter might be possible nevermind... I don't need it unlocked yet anyway still have a few months in this contract...
Will I at least be able to pay t-mobile to give me a working unlock code? - or will the new HBOOT have changed the code or something? lol
I plan to keep this phone for a while when it's out of contract... at least until the next generation come out that have a 2ghz quad core
It is taking longer than expected. Is any one able to root the HTC desire with Gingerbread RUU Update.
Desperately waiting root. Requesting developers to help several people like me to root the desire.
I did not read the warning too...

I join the queue waiting for a solution...

[Q] S- on and S-off

Hey XDA peeps so i got my phone back from sprint it got fix up long story short I was ready to put back revolutionary back on my phone from some same strange reason my backup root is not working none what so ever also i am still kind of rooted with S-on my bootloader is still unlock now when i try to run the files it ask what am i doing i am already rooted long story short i am fully rooted with S-on but i want it back to S-off but every time i put the pc36img file it want update any suggestions. And yes i did remove revolutionary from my phone because i had to let sprint look at it.
I would try running revolutuonary and that will give you s-off.
Try running the RUU on it and then rerooting.

That's the only way you are going to fix it. You likely have the 6.17 HBoot (a modified 2.16 HBoot), which thinks it is still the 2.16 Hboot that you set S-OFF. Find and run a 4.53 RUU in order to downgrade the HBoot back to 2.16, then reroot using Revolutionary.
okay i will i hope i can find 4.53 RUU
Hey i was able to find root I am back to regular stock mode in the morning i would and am going back to ROOT. thanks

Unroot mistake !!important!!

Hey Guys,
I just tried to unroot my HTC Desire cause of warranty.
So I tried a ruu but it doesn't worked.
So i crated a PB99IMG an went to bootloader.
The bootloader made all but suddenly it said:
Main version is older / update failed !
Now I can't do anything than go to recovery
And at bootloader top those is standing:
BRAVO UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.75.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
Radio-4.05.00.11
Ma 5 2010,21:12:15
Someone is able to tell me,what I can do that my phoen will work again (equal if rooted or unrooted)
tried my guide? I bet you haven't, and I bet this thread was pointless

Didn't tried it yet.
But I tried teh same RUU which you told. and there I'm getting the error that Main version is older !
So I'm actually s-on cause of an otehre ruu which i used before which amde me s-on but didn't flash a rom.
EDIT:
I downloaded your RUU again.
Made a PB99IMG and went to bootloader.
now it ask if I want to run update !
BUT my vol. up butten is broken (the reason why i want warranty)
so i cant confirm,any way to confirm without vol up ?
The error it's giving is impossible since you're flashing a RUU that is MUCH newer than what you appear to have there.. try the 2.3.3 RUU (since a WWE RUU won't cover warranty), that HAS to work.. and even if it gets stuck on the HTC screen or something it doesn't matter since you're getting it fixed anyway.

Back to factory settings?

I want to get back to factory settings.
I have alpharev, custom rom, clockwork recovery, and the sim unlock-utility (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943726)
Yesterday I used the WWE 2.3 android RUU, but I want the cellphone back to original state.
It was originally an:
bravo pvt4 ship s-on
hboot-0.93.0001
microp-051d
touch panel-symw0101
radio-5.11.05.27
But now I want back to completely stock, so any idea what to do? (s-on, unroot, etc.)
I did use the downgrader from alpharev, so now its s-on. But how do I get the original hboot and radio?
If you ran 2.3 ruu over downgrade you have it all stock, I don't know what yoj want more.

Ok. I thought it had to be the same radio and hboot etc, as when it was new, to not loose the warranty..?
OR else I thought only the updates on htc.com was seen as "official" and under warranty, all the others were unsupported, but it may only be in my head.
I don't find the RUU for my region, so if I used the WWE 2.3 update I have not void any warranty?
