Hi there, i would like to know that how do we check whether ENG is off or not?
I've S-OFF my Desire HD by checking at it's bootloader. But still not sure how to check or even see information relevant to ENG is ON or OFF. I used Easy Radio Tool to handle the job.
Thank you. =)
If you radio s-off, boot loader will say "ace ship s-off"
If you have engineering s-off it will say "ace eng s-off"
If you have both it will say "ace engs-off"

Thanks dr.m0x =)
Hmm now I am from "ace ship s-off" to only "ace eng s-off" and not "ace engs-off".
Meaning my Radio is set back to ON again?? =/

No it means you have both. It is impossible to accidentally remove radio s-off. You must manually restore your partition7 backup to remove radio s-off.

LOL! okok, thank you for that advice. Now I confirmed I have both Radio S-FF and ENG-OFF.
Thank you again. x)

Hello
My DHD is currently rooted and Radio S-Off. On the bootloader screen it states Ship S-Off so all is good. I have just gone through the procedure to apply Eng S-Off so I can flash a radio and now notice that at the bootloader screen it says Eng S-Off and not Ship S-Off. What im wondering is is the phone still Radio S-Off even though the bootloader screen shows Eng S-Off
Cheers
It is still Radio S-OFF.
yes you should have both of them and according to jkoljo you can verify that by checking first line of the bootloader, it should read ACE PVT ENG S-OFF. Bootloader>system info>CID should be 11111111.
Thanks for that
I have to be honest, I followed a fairly technical guide to root my DHD and although I got the gist of it, I'm not sure if it left me with just ENG S-Off or Radio S-Off as well.
Is there a way to check for both?
Cheers.
You can check in bootloader it will say if you are eng off or not and if your cid is 1111111111 your radio s off too

- hold power button and select reboot then ok
- after hitting ok, wait 1 sec then press and hold power + vol down
- the phone will enter bootloader mode
at the very 1st line it should say ENG S-OFF
for RADIO S-OFF
- press vol down until you get more info
- if you see CID11111 that means you have RADIO S-OFF
else you don't
Excellent, thanks very much to both of you..........
Mine says
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT.0.85.0007

What does that mean?
What s-off do I have?

Indeed that is radio s-off.
Hboot s-off looks like "ACE PVT ENG S-OFF"
The ENG stands for engineering.
Thanks guys. It's a bit confusing.
I'm gonna flash a new radio today. Do I only need radio s-off or do i need eng -s-off too?
If so, i guess you can apply it after you've radio s-off'ed?
Edit: So now I used the s-off easy one click tool.
Now I have ACE PVT ENG S-OFF
Do I still have the radio s-off?
As joliko stated you can have both. How does that work anyway?
Once you've entered the bootloader (Volume down + power on) if it says eng s-off you obviously have eng s-off you then select system info or something like that and it says the CID:xxxx. For example my phone which is now radio locked due to loading LeeDroid 1.3 based on the latest 1.72.405.3 ROM and not realising I needed to run Radio s-off says CID-VODAP021. What you want is CID:1111111 (not sure how many 1's but you get the idea). My advice after reading many pages it make absolutely sure you have radio s-off before running any updates or flashing any ROMs period. It is also highly reccomended to have eng s-off and also super user access (root access). From what I have read Radio s-off is a higher or more superior access to eng s-off. Having Radio s-off (otherwise known as Super CID) enables you to unlock any simlock and also load the latest HTC 1.72.405.3 ROM without loosing any root access or s-off.

actually you have more options with eng-s off as you can use fastboot commands. were if you just only had radio-s off you can't use fastboot but your right in the fact that you won't lose s-off were eng s-off is just the hboot been patched an so flashing new firmware with upgraded hboot you will lose the sercurity been off.
how do i know if I am ENG or Radio S-OFF
BOOTLOADER says:
VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.09.0000
RADIO - 3805.04.03.22_M
eMMC-boot
what does that mean?
I am planning to change my radio to be compatible with ARHD 1.1.2
radio s-off but no eng hboot
Sent out of my Free Candy Van.
Before, after I had used Easy Eng S-Off Tool, I had Ship S-Off. After that I found out I can't flash splash img using fast boot, I ran the tool again and I had now Eng S-Off.
But in the system info, the CID is not 111111.
Does that means I had lost my Radio S-Off?
I'm now on CyanogenMod7 RC-1 with Eng S-Off.
I just now tried this One click Radio S-OFF (windows recognized well my DHD in Device Manager), but it said "Unknown Error, probably connections" (usb cable works fine).
Edit: I restored the backed-up rooted 1.32 and do Radio S-Off. Things ran smooth. Now I have both Eng S-Off and CID 11111.
And by doing so I realized how big Sense Roms are. Clean backed-up rooted Sense 1.32 = 525MB. TB Fusion 3d (Sense 2.1 + 3.0) with some apps (not big): 765 MB. Clean MIUI 1.7.5 = 232 MB. CM7 RC1 with many apps = 457 MB.
Basically, I have rooted my Desire HD, and turned ENG S-Off. I now want to turn Radio S-Off.
I have used Easy Radio Tool, and it confirmed the process with SuperCID and Unlock.
However, if I go to Bootloader, it says "ACE PVT ENG S-OFF" but in the System Info it confirms SuperCID by showing "CID-11111111"
I just want to know if I am able to flash the radio yet, or if something has gone wrong?
Thanks,
Sorry, found the answer here

I ran Radio S-OFF on top of ENG S-OFF and nothing was meant to change apart from the SuperCID.
hello,
I'm not sure if I have radio S-OFF and Super CID, and i have been looking for a way to check it.
The top line in bootloader says ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
and I guess that means I have radio S-OFF can someone please tel my if i'm right?
And how do I check if I have Super CID I have been searching and everybody says to check system info in bootloader but I only get 5 options in bootloader:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
and I don't see system info or something simular
how can I check if the Super CID worked?
thanks in advance.
It looks like you have Radio S-Off but if you want to flash Radio's and get the System Info option to check Super CID you will need ENG S-OFF.
All the how to's are in the dev forum.
[EDIT]
I don't normally do this as I'm not here to search the forum for you, (searching is a rule YOU should NOT be breaking) but

thank you for the quick reply,
the EasyS-OFF program didn't work for me (it kept giving connection error when i allowed it on superuser) so i used AMT v1.2 to flash ENG-HBOOT and it worked perfectly now i have Radio S-OFF ENG S-OFF and Super CID
thank you for the info!
Hello,
I rooted and s-off my dhd by using aahk approx one year ago. Everything fine and I testet a lot of roms.
Now I like to upgrade the radio and read that a eng-off is also necesarry. I try to find out if my device already eng.off. But I couldn't.
Did anyone know if the device is also eng-off after using aahk ? Or does anyone know another way to find out ?
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just go to bootloader.. Turn off your device, then press volume down + power button. You will see a bootloader info. At the top, it should show "Ace pvt eng s-off"

It shows :
ACE PVT SHIP S-OPFF RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M

If I understand right it means it's not eng-off ???

If it says S-off, which it does, you are S-off.

Oops, thanked you. If you want to flash a radio you just need S-Off.
S_OFF tool recommendation
Hey, I had run the ACE kit, but somehow put the S back ON (it's a mystery inside an enigma!), and now just want to run an S_OFF tool: my kernel is the 3.0.62_JellyTime_R5-g8e08b6e-dirty ... the tools in the fora all seem to have been specific to Fro/GB, so I need to ask which one is best to run, given my kernel?
And 4.2.1
DHDa9191
Like our original poster, I too want to flash a new radio to get RAW POWER on a legacy slate. Thanks for your help.

S-Off is not an option unless you are an expert. AAHK, the tool used to get it, was retired earlier this week. Root and custom ROMs are still possible with an unlocked bootloader, but getting S-Off is no longer a simple procedure.
cool, so which way

I don't mind getting dirty - but is gfreev.2 alright to roll with given my kernel? it worked the first time, in the kit, but I don't need the whole ACE, just need to smack the sec back out of the device if you have input on the compatibility of gfree v.2 given the updated kernel, please
I have no idea what gfree is...what is it?
Advantage of newer radio ?

Can you recommend me to upgrade the radio ?
I mean I understand that it's always a risk but without that point. Will I have a advantage with newer radio ?
currently I have Radio Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M on my DHD.
And like to flash 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M or 12.68.60.29U_26.16.04.09
As far as I understand the first variant is the last official radio and sencond one is newest but from unknown source
