[Q] Radio S-OFF on Desire HD with leeDroid hd v3.2.1

Hi , I have htc desire hd with leedroid hd v3.2.1 (sense removed) , i want to get radio s-off.
i have tried the easy radio tool , but it always give me unknow error probably connection. (usb debuggin is on and i have tried the trouble shooting section , turned to wi fi on , using adb shell and then su and keep window open and then click do it button on the tool)
how i got leedroid
i used visionary tool to root the phone
then i installed clockmod recovery
then i flashed leedroid
i have eng s-off , but CID is not 1111111 in system info.
how can i get radio s-off?
Thanks

I had a similar problem and was told to use ENG S-OFF tool. I have attached the file.

nope its not working , still having connection error.
but i dont need s-offf , i already have ENG S-OFF , i only need Radio S-OFF.

Read the radio S-OFF tool's requirements. You cannot use LeeDroid 3.2.1..

Try this method.

in rooted using Visionary tool in the begining , and also did the the hboot s-off , then i installed leeDroid 3.2.1. when i boot into bootloader now i can see that i have ENG S-OFF.
i need a little help for the tutorial you posted.
1. do i now need to downgrade because i installed leeDroid ?
2. the tutorial says i need to remove visionary tool , but i cant find it on the leeDroid now , how can i remove it.

If Visionary doesn't show up in 'Manage applications', it should in Titanium backup.
If you ENG S-OFF, you should be fully rooted.
Failing that you need to be looking for the Gold Card method. I didn't have to take that route, so I can't really help you with that.

Lol, if S-OFF tools do not work with LeeDroid (those don't, except ENG S-OFF tool when you already have Radio S-OFF), that manual method does not work either.
And it is totally useless to try to root a custom ROM. Just saying..

is it possible that i flash to stock rom , then try your tool and once i get radio s-off , i flash the leedroid back again ?
the stock rom i have is
stock_r1-1.32.405.6-update-ace-sense-stock
the main objective is actually to flash the leedroid recommended radio , i know i can still flash it with the eng-off , but if i go ahead without radio s-off , then i wont be able to flash any other radio ? is that true ? and also can i get the radio s-off later some time by flash the stock rom and starting over again with rooting and other stuff ?

Flash Raidroid 1.32.405.6, that is the easiest method. Then you can just flash LeeDroid again in ClockworkMod.

thanks for the solution . will the following workflow work
1.i backup my leedroid via clockmod.
2. i flash radroid
3. i use your tool to radio s-off
4. i restore from the leedroid backup with clockmodrecovery.
will this work , i m just trying to save my data.
EDIT : the above method worked like a charm , thanks jokoljo for the one click easy radio s-off tool.

thanks for this thread.
in the evening, i will try the same method as you described in the last post.
I did exactly the same as you did.
Let's hope that it will work with mine, too
regards
P.S. : I will tell you if it worked

Confirmed
worked on my phone (like a charm), too
Thank you

[Guide] EVO Revert to stock + S-ON after Gingerbread

This took me all day to figure out so I'm making a guide. The 2 Big problems I had were getting the S-on patch to work and the newer Hboot that came with gingerbread refusing to downgrade to an older PC36IMG.zip.
The main reason I wanted to return to stock was for a repair, last time i did everything except s-on and the guy noticed it and black listed my esn.
Make sure you are prepared before you continue! Once you flash your radio your phone wont boot into the OS.
First, you need to flash an older radio for the S-ON patch to even work. I found flashing EVO_Radio_2.15.00.07.28.zip worked best. Do this in your custom recovery
Follow djR3Z's guide to turn S-ON but do not go past step 7!
Download this file I got this off a youtube video for the incredible and replaced the files with their EVO specific counterparts
Open the zip and move flash_image and mtd0.img to your sdk/tools/ folder
boot into your custom recovery and mount /system/
open up a command prompt in your tools folder
(in windows7 hold shift and right click on /tools/ there will be an option to "open command window")
Run the commands in the commands.txt file. FYI you can paste into command prompt with right click.
adb push flash_image /data
adb push mtd0.img /data
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/flash_image
cd /data
flash_image misc mtd0.img
exit
adb reboot oem-78

After this you can move your stock PC36IMG.zip to the root of your SD card and reboot into your Hboot Bootloader. If everything was done correctly it should now accept PC36IMG and downgrade to stock.

Great job! Do you think there will be an easier way in the future? I don't think I would be able to do this.

If you run the 3.70 RUU while still s-off, will it replace the hboot with an older version? It seems like it should, but I'm confused by the 6.16 hboot.
I haven't actually ran revolutionary, so this is all theory, but I thought unrooting/s-on would work like this:
Run the RUU for 3.70. I don't have much experience with RUUs, but if they don't include radios, you would then need to reflash recovery and downgrade the radio. After reflashing etc, then flash the s-on zip. Then rerun the RUU for 3.70 to get rid of your custom recovery, or run the RUU for 4.24, since once you're s-on you can't downgrade & every RUU will be a downgrade from 6.16 hboot.
Now this may be entirely wrong, but I was just curious if it would work. I've been rooted for a while, and unrooting and s-on would be much easier for me. Even though it sounds like a pain, it still sounds more noob friendly than the version in the OP.
Either way, great job on putting this together. I know that a lot of people are curious about unrooting from revolutionary, so hopefully you've cleared some confusion.

I can't get this step to work, try as I have to get S-ON back, it won't go. Doesn't the Revolutionary HBOOT prevent this from working?
The unrevoked-son zip flashes fine, and says it worked, but I'm still S-OFF. What did you do to get it to work?
@plainjane
HBOOT will not update to an older version. If that were possible, the GB OTA wouldn't have had to be rooted at all, since everyone would've been able to downgrade to a rootable HBOOT version.
It's that fact that makes me wary of this method working at all. Can the steps after the "S-ON" portion be completed (which I assume finds a way to downgrade HBOOT), and then run the S-ON tool & flash the stock PC36IMG? I think that's what I'll try now, since I can't get it working in the order specified here.

You can downgrade via RUU if you're s-off. My suggestion was to run the RUU while still s-off, because s-on won't allow you to downgrade. Or, if the RUU won't replace the bootloader, then flash an older hboot.
Then, if you're still s-off, flash the s-on tool. I don't know if this root method uses unrevoked forever or if it's just an always s-off hboot. I do know that it's a different hboot version.
If anyone has a chance to try to run the 3.70 RUU and see if it downgrades the hboot, I'd like to know. If it doesn't, but the RUU completes, then you should be able to flash recovery and then flash an older hboot - I believe 2.10 is the one that shipped with 3.70. Mine is 2.02, and I never updated to 3.70 (I believe it was 3.30 when I rooted).
Again, it's just a theory. If I get curious enough then I may unroot and update just to try revolutionary and try to unroot again, but I'd rather not get stuck with a horrendously obvious 6.16 hboot that can't be replaced/unrooted if I don't have to.

What I was saying is, at least with the Revolutionary HBOOT (6.16), it will not downgrade, either using the 3.70 Froyo RUU or the 4.24 GB RUU or PC36IMG.zip files flashed through Fastboot. It bypasses the Bootloader update every time.
Have you somehow gotten HBOOT to downgrade while S-OFF?

Hboot 6.16 will not downgrade or flash S-ON currently.

[Q] Upgrading HBOOT from 0.75, AlphaRev failed?

I recently bought a Desire (A8183) and it came with HBOOT 0.75.0000 and I am trying to get S-OFF on it. I tried using AlphaRev and it came up with an error in step 3. How do I overcome this?
The phone still works fine.

1st: Wrong topic, you should post it in Q&A.
2nd: Have you flashed any custom ROM??? If so, thats why you cannot S-OFF it, try any near-to-stock, froyo rooted rom and then try again, this will do the trick
Cheers

Oops, wrong subforum, didn't realise.
Yes I'm running a custom ROM I'll try a Froyo-based ROM and see if that helps.
It's a shame that Revolutionary doesn't support this version of HBOOT, is there any way of 'tricking' Revolutionary to S-OFF the 0.75 HBOOT?

You can always update bootloader... if you have a goldcard then put the attached file in the root of your sd-card, and then boot into bootloader and wait for it do do it's thing.. when it prompts you select yes. This will update your bootloader to version 0.93.1002
You shouldn't lose any data, but do make a backup of the ROM in recovery in case you get a bootloop.
Then run Revolutionary.

I downloaded the file and put it on the root sdcard... Bootloader seemed to just skip over the file though.
Do I need to change the text file in the zip to my CID or anything else? It doesn't like it

you need a goldcard, so it ignores the CID.. or actually.. what network are you on?
EDIT: Just noticed lol
Wait I'm downloading a Telstra RUU and I'll give you a new PB99IMG

try this. If not, then you can always use the RUU to do a full update, and then S-OFF and flash a custom ROM.

Thanks I'll give it a try.
I have four microSD cards at home and I've tried gold carding all of them... I don't know how successful I was cos I couldn't do what I wanted on the Desire HD

try the goldcard tutorial I posted.
Okay, well I'm gonna get to sleep now but I'll give you some advice before you go.
If you can't update the bootloader with that, I'd suggest backing up your ROM (if you havent done so already), flashing the RUU to bring it up to the latest bootloader version, and then using revolutionary.
Once you've S-OFF'd with revo. Use android flasher to flash recovery (Note: your backup will not work if you do not flash the same version of recovery) and then do a full wipe and flash a ROM of your choice.

Would you happen to know where I can get the original Telstra RUU from? I think that might be my best bet.
Thanks for your help!

I sent you a link on my other post, but I think the site is down at the moment.. I can upload a mirror for you though because I downloaded it yesterday

Thanks - this looks like it worked now HBOOT 0.93.0001, running revolutionary now.
Is there any benefit in upgrading HBOOT at all? What does 1.02.0001 offer?

Hboot 1.xxxx is the stock hboot for gingerbread. So it offers you nothing. By flashing a hboot like cm7 (most roms fit in this hboot), you get much more space for installing apps, because its /data partition is much bigger.

How to S-off after HTCDev Unlock?

Hi everyone,
I want to S-off my device again, so I don't need to reflash the Boot.img of every custom rom over and over again.
I've tried to flash my device with the DHD Stock 1.32 Rom to use jkoljo's method for S-off'ing my device.
So I put the PD98IMG.zip on my SDcard and let the HBoot flash it. After the reboot I got stuck at HTC Logo and this happens too after flashing PD98IMG.zip's boot.img
So is there another way to S-off my device while I'm HTCDevUnlocked or is it game over for S-off?
I've googled for some time on the net, but I couldn't find a DHD specific result.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, will try it when I got the time
I guess, I need to be on an original rom or a Sense-rom
Do you know how I can flash an original rom from HTC itself? I thought it was like putting P98IMG.zip on the sd and let HBoot find it and flash it.
But after that I got stuck at HTC-logo, and flashing the boot.img doesn't work neither :s
I really don't know how to flash DHD's Froyo rom after (HTCDev) unlocking my device

Run the RUU of the OS you were last on, so if you were on WWE 2.50 run that RUU, or if you were on 3.12 Sense 3.0 then run that, relock the bootloader, and run attn1's Ace Hack Kit, it will automatically do the downgrade for you so you get S-OFF.

[SOLVED] Help with hboot and s-on

Through a serious of mistakes I have ended up with a N1 hboot on my desire..:good:
The phone is working etc, but I'm not sure how I can go about fixing my hboot issue - I want to go back to a stock hboot, though with using Revolutionary it says that my current hboot (0.35.0017) is not supported.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?

How did u manage to change to that hboot?
Seeing that ur s-on, the only thing i can think of is running a desire ruu. Maybe someone else has an idea

Yea I'm a bit confused on how you ended up in this situation, but I think you should run the 2.3 ruu then use revolutionary to gain s-off.
1. Download the ruu here: http://d-h.st/d44
2. Follow these instructions to install it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45298337&postcount=21

Thanks for the link and ruu, sadly had no joy. It seemed like it checked the zip, and ran a bar at the top right, though nothing changed in the phone...I'd previously tried an ruu in Windows, which failed saying that it couldn't be installed on my device.
This happened when I was trying it a few different hboots, and I ended up applying the blackrose n1 hboot...to remove it I used the fastboot-w.exe (it comes with blackrose) which applied the stock n1 hboot and s-on.
I still have 4ext recovery on, currently running cyanogenmod 7.2.

I believe you will need to flash the downgrader first, before the ruu.
1. Download downgrader, and flash.
2, Download ruu, and flash.

My pb99img guide post is turning out to be pretty useful.
But he can't use it to flash the downgrader if he is s-on.

Yeah I think the main problem is the s-on issue- I might see if there's a n1 based solution that works.

Is blackrose a rooting method? Coz like if u use htcdev to unlock bootloader u need to relock the bootloader before u can run a ruu so there must be a simular way using blackrose.

It's a way of changing hboots on the n1, similar to alpharev. I've not read up in depth, but it seems like quite a powerful tool. I am also considering trying to flash an ruu via fastboot as mentioned on the htcdev site.

Well the fastboot method failed in the same way the exe method failed; with a signature verify problem.

FIXED!
At last I had some time to sit down and figure out how to sort this.
Step 1 - reinstall blackrose, gives desire s-off
Step 2 - disable hboot protection in blackrose
Step 3 - fastboot install new hboot and recovery
===profit??
Interesting that blackrose works at all on the desire, it's a pretty cool little package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270589
