hi
i have DHD t-mobile uk, i downgraded my mobile than rooted using this > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076 , and then i flashed Miui rom , but i dont know what does radio s- off means and is this really important ?
thanks
do i already done radio s-off or not ?
Yes you should have S-OFF. But you can check it by going into the bootloader by restarting your phone while holding volume down button, and it should start with bootloader, and then it will show S-OFF to the top.
Check this video from 6:25 on how to boot into bootloader and check if S-OFF is on.

Another thread about S-OFF has already been created. But S-OFF means security-off. For more info about S-OFF read the text under the title "Finally, what's Radio S-OFF and What Does It Mean to Me?".

i tried using aahk but after it pushes the img to the sd card and after the zergrush it says error: device not found and the device powers off and it should power on in hboot asking me for update but its just hanging on black screen, could you give me a hand?

How do i know if my phone is s-off or s-on?
Thank you!
Turn your phone off. Hold volume down and power together for a few seconds. You will now get a display which tells you your hboot etc and it will say s-on or s-off. Btw if you have to ask the question its most likely s-on.

It's good.
For warranty purposes, it's not.
Hello everyone.
Recently I noticed a few problems with my Desire so I decided to send it for a warranty repair, so I had to come back to stock ROM. I was on:
Oxygen ZM
hboot 6.93.1002
microp 051d
dation 4.05.00.11
I just plugged my phone in fastboot mode and opened RUU on my PC. It went through and rebooted the phone. Unfortunately, it is now stuck on splash screen with HTC logo.
I don't know what to do now. Maybe the hboot version was too high?
I was thinking about installing new ROM but can't open recovery (when I'm in fastboot and click recovery it reboots on splash screen) and also the cable doesn't work at all. Can't use adb commands or charge the battery - it just acts like it isn't plugged in.
Please help. I'm a total newbie and don't want to brick my phone (I've read that if I can reach hboot it's not as bad)
Turn off the phone n hold volume down + power and post everything it says in bootloader menu.

Ur still s-off so try flashing new recovery via fasboot commands. Read bortaks guide in my sig, everything u need for fastboot is there, also download the 4ext recovery PB99IMG in my sig and extract it and ul have almost the latest 4ext recovery.img, thats what ul need to flash in fastboot.
Once uv fastboot setup on ur computer, put recovery.img in ur c:\ drive on ur computer then with ur phone off, hold back button + power (thats fastboot) then plug in ur phone (usb) and open command window and type -
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
If all okay then u should have recovery.
Read bortaks guide and the guide for ADB & FASTBOOT by SUroot. Everything u need is there

hey. thanks for your help. but as I said, I can't plug in my phone with USB - when I do it, nothing happens. I can't even charge my battery.
So, I've put this zip on my SD card and the bootloader asked me to update recovery. I clicked yes and it said done. But when I try to open the recovery, it still goes into splash screen
also, I can't try a lot of combinations because my battery could discharge and that would be a problem...
Does ur phone charge when its turned off and plugged into mains (wall)? If so charge it up first
The only other way to flash recovery is by fasboot commands.
There is a way to flash an ruu via PB99IMG but id make sure ur battery is full first
Sent from my HTC Desire
no, can't charge it. as I said in first post: "also the cable doesn't work at all. Can't use adb commands or charge the battery - it just acts like it isn't plugged in."
what's now?
Looks like your cable is faulty actually

I don't think so, it worked fine until I made the RUU. It would be a huge coincidence.
so, anyone knows how to fix it?
anyone?...
c'mon! I'm sure someone can help me, it is not full brick!
U can run an ruu via PB99IMG but thats a risk coz u dont know how much battery u have left and if ur battery dies then ul probably be left with a full bricked phone

OK, so I will try to charge my battery with some other device (same phone or special charger) and try to do it. How much time does it take? I have about 15% battery left because I was running RUU on 30% :laugh: (yup, that was stupid) do you think it's not enough? If it takes less than 5 mins, it should be OK.
edit: but... I've already run RUU and that's why my phone is bricked. What RUU should I run to make sure it will work? I don't know why this one didn't work. Was it because of hboot version or what?
U can use the 2.3 gb upgrade from htcdev. Heres a link to my dev host, file is there
http://d-h.st/d44
Then use Droidzones great guide
http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&sourc...fC74BQ&usg=AFQjCNGX60VvJTy6BOBkfKsZ9maoS-A_xw
Make sure ur battery is atleast 40-50% to be safe, bootloader wont let u run it anyway if its below 30%. It should only take 5 mins but the phone will need power to boot up fully aswell.

thanks, you're just great!
I thought it won't work because my hboot is too high or something but it really helped!
one more thing, just not to make another thread. do you know why when I try to reach my recovery it shows red "!" over a phone? is there a recovery in stock soft? I want my phone to look like it was brand new. how to get rid of "revolutionary" in hboot?
ehh.. now my PC doesn't see the phone (can't use adb commands, but it's charging) - GOD, WHY?
I take it the PB99IMG worked?
What does it say in bootloader now? (vol down + power)

ROM is unbranded stock but HBOOT is still alpharev 6.93.1002 s-off. I've tried to downgrade hboot from 6.93 but with no results. and still don't have recovery, just red "!"

I need to be complete stock before sending my phone for repair
Edit: managed to flash 4ext recovery, now I just need some image of stock recovery. And of course hboot issue is still up-to-date.
Flash the alpharev downgrade then run the ruu

okay, thanks, my phone is 100% stock now excluding SIMlock. but I think they won't check it
and the recovery is OK, I just forgot that I have to hold upvol button and click power button to run it. you know, with other recoveries you don't have to do that kind of stuff.
I just bought the one off of craigslist and it came with an unlocked bootloader and rooted. It did not have custom recover so I easily installed it. Now, how do I know if my phone is s-off? Can anyone lend me a hand so I know if it is or is not? Sorry I don't even know the correct way to ask about it? Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks
Reboot to boot loader and look at the top. You should see something that says s-on or s-off

Yep. In the bootloader on the second line below ****UNLOCKED**** it should say either S-OFF or S-ON...
