Yes that is right, you need to use this tool (or script methods in forum) if you want to flash using kernel update utility.

So for Kernel flashing or similar issues, yes we need extra ENG S-Off which I would recommed you to use the tool on the link above If you are a newbie like me.

I think you meant to say we need the extra radio s-off, not eng s-off. Just to avoid any confusion.
I´ve got the same problem. I don´t realy know the difference between ENG S-Off and SHIP S-Off.
I have have ROOT and ENG S-Off, but after I run Easy-RADIO-S-Off everythimg is the same like before.
Is there maybe another way to get Radio-S-Off?
For my ENG S-Off, I´ve made a step by step way with the terminal Emulator.
I need your Help
If you do Radio S-OFF on top of ENG S-OFF, nothing else is supposed to change but bootloader>system info CID. If you did full Radio S-OFF, which contains SuperCID and SimUnlock, the CID should be 11111111.
The differences of both S-OFFs:
- Radio S-OFF is more permanent, safer
- ENG S-OFF allows to use fastboot commands, such as fastboot flash radio
- Radio S-OFF (with SuperCID) allows downgrading from anything, it disables device version checking. If HTC has "banned" a certain downgrade from one version to the other, Radio S-OFF allows it.
@jkoljo
thx for your reply
I still have root and ENG S-Off. How can I get Radio S-Off and SuperCID too?
I´ve searched in the forum up and down. It seems that the Easy-Radio-S-Off Tool doesn´t work... ? Do you have another way for me?
Didn't the CID change (bootloader system info)? Because nothing else is supposed to change in the bootloader after you run the tool. Check Radio S-OFF tool troubleshooting. There is also a manual method posted by Apache, which uses older unlock code version than my tool.

Hi SEW580,
I had the same problem, apeared to be the wrong option/choice I made when I used te tool. you have to use the FIRST option ("Radio S-OFF, Super-CID an Sim Unlock"), this worked for me.
Let me know if it also did for you...

I would 100% get radio s-off. That way if Htc screw you over with an update which breaks root you aren't stranded.

The Tool is great, but it doesn´t work at mine. I tryed every option from first to last. I´ve got SU, Root and ENG S-OFF. I did everything whats needed. I run the Tool, it asked for permission, I confirm, it finished succesful, but nothing changes - no Radio S-Off or SuperCID :-(
Please try the 2.2 version, it tells you what went wrong.
By the way if you have a new radio in your phone, you have to downgrade first before running the tool.

Hello guys!!!
I dont know if i post to the right place!(This is the first time i post a new thread)
I have an hTC wildfire with hboot version 1.000.002. I wanted to root with alpharevx but now it seems they removed the 1.02 hboot version for htc wwildfire from their site... , is there any way to downgrade from 1.02 to 1.01(my phone is nto branded)
Please help mee
Thanks in advance!
There are two things you can do:
1) Try on HBoot 1.01.0002 itself. There are cases when it works.
2) If that fails, the procedure to downgrade to 1.01.0001 is posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028
thank you for your reply!
I will try the first method but the second link is only for branded devices,isnt it?
Nope, Its universally applicable for all devices on HBoot 1.01.0002
Thank you very much!!!
One more thing!
Do i have to do the step with the goldcard???
If you are following the guide to downgrade the HBoot, Yes, you have to.
A bit difficult but i will give it a try...
As I said, try running AlphaRev X directly without downgrading first. If it works, it's well and good, else, you have no choice but to go for the downgrade procedure.
Hi,
Quick question hoping you can help with.
I have S-OFF (Previously Rooted) and recently installed the latest Gingerbread 2.50 WWE RUU (with a Goldcard).
Does the S-OFF mean I can install a customer ROM without having Root?
Is it possible to change the CID? I have a Vodafone UK CID so don't get OTA. (OK, its a second question! Couldn't resist!).
And Finally (really this is the final one!), I can't find instructions to revert my phone to original state, i.e. re-branded to Vodafone UK with S-ON for warranty. Can you point me in the right direction, please?
Thanks in advance...
Kiz
With s-off and goldcard already in hand, you may downgrade it to stock 2.36.405.8 to gingerbreak or simply 1.32.405.6 and then flash any custom rom that comes across your mind. Your cid can be changed it the Oneclick Radio Tool.
To return to stock vodafone branded rom, just read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876&highlight=vodafone+original+img
If I'm not mistaken, S-On can be applied just as normal DHD should. Please do make reference to the stickies in Android Dev section.

The only for sure way that I personally know will root your phone is an XTC clip. Other methods could work but this is all I know. you MAY be able to make a gold card and downgrade to an hboot that will allow you to root using software methods but I really have no idea. sorry man, hopefully the others with that phone will chime in soon.

If you wil root, you should download files below and flash
Download: http://u.115.com/file/clq3mrp6#

Flash it with Custom CWM-based 4.0.1.4 (Download Link).

Hi
I used the Advanced Ace Hack Kit to root my Desire HD. I was wondering if it also did Radio S-Off? I used the one click function and nothing else. It all works fine though. I just need to know if the tool automatically did Radio S-Off because I need to experiment with some radios.
Thanks
attn1 said that it does S-off, so yes, you do have s-off.
