[Q] Can an S-OFF Desire help any dev's? I have one now.

Okay, YES I know this is on the limit for this sub-forum, but give me a minute to explain...
1. I have no Desire experience, hang out in the Nexus forums myself
2. I have an S-OFF Desire at the moment
3. I have no idea if this is commonly available or even useful
4. I SEARCHED (want the list: "s-off", "s-on", "unlocked bootloader", "bootloader", "unlocked H-BOOT", "H-BOOT", "is this worth my time", etc)
...and I only want relevant attention for 12 hours or so...
So, mods and peeps, bear with me... either please politely say "no" and close the thread or say "yes" and pm me.
gracis

it must usefull if you can clone the SPL out

If you could dump the hboot, it would definitely be worth a quick prod and a poke to see if its any use!

We need a dump of this!

i hope this is useful and maybe a step forward to unlocking nand

This is fantastic. Its absolutely brilliant, Amazing, Beautiful that we found a device with S-OFF.

Yes, thanks although I know all of that (I make a quite popular rom for the Nexus)... I need the spl instructions... I have an offer for assistance on this tomorrow.

a simialr thread posted for the n1,
hxxp://android.modaco.com/content/google-nexus-one-nexusone-modaco-com/311351/build-version-erd56c/
there is some adb stuff you might want to try.
ps, whats your boot animation look like?

Just the android text with slight shimmer... nothing too exciting...
Had a look at the post... nothing new I'm afraid...

Without know to much about it, i might think you need to use dump_image to dump the address block of the spl.
The nand architecture address layout might already be known.

It's short for security off. A hboot with s-off will allow us to flash and boot custom images trough fastboot. Fastboot can be accessed by booting the phone while holding down the back key. Hboot is the second deepest partition on an Android phone, only beaten by the radio, radio bootloader is almost never used flashing from.
Things it can do for us... the most important command in fastboot is the boot command. It's not really helpful for end users, but developers can use it to boot their custom images before flashing to see if it works with the phone without risking anything. Since it's deeper than recovery it may give us write access to the system partition while normal booted (?). Hboot is also often called SPL (maybe not on desire, but at least on other devices), a hboot with security disabled is often called engineering's SPL.
My knowledge on this is mainly based on other devices. Some may be wrong or misleading. If anyone sees something wrong, please let me know.

I think its not the problem to extract the spl and patch it to s-off the problem is to flash it (it must be signed) or the SPL partition is r/o there some German users that ere very near to System r/w just wait they will post it!

This has nothing to do with hboot. His CID is most likely set to supercid, eg 11111111.
S-off allows non-signature rom flashing, full rw nand access.
@ts: could you come on irc? Irc.freenode.net , ny nick is IEF.
I'm part of a team thats investigating this. Info from your phone
WILL help a lot! Just pm me asap please

Okay, have now slept...
So, it seems this is indeed relevant for this sub-forum so I'll reply here rather than via pm.
Where I am:
have root
have new radio
have fastboot access
do not have adb access
can not flash any kernels here in XDA
I'm not a muppet and have adb working fine for my Nexus but for the life of me can not get it working on this Desire. HTC Sync does not recognise the phone as connected in any mode (Win7 & XP). I've used the Google and HTC drivers. I've used driver tools to remove the registry entries and reconnect phone, no joy. Although I do get "HTC Android Phone USB Disk".
I can't flash a kernel via a recovery .zip. In fact, even if I flash a rom from here on XDA the kernel fails to install. Bad block are reported on the boot partition which I realise is common. This does however mean that if I install a custom kernel to get a dump it will have to be VERY small.
I've had a few questions asking if I'm willing to dump it. Well, of course I am, that's why I posted...
I am trying to secure the device for the weekend EDIT: I have the phone for the weekend.

[Q] Desire stuck with fastboot only, S-ON, can't flash recovery

Hi,
I'm tryin to unbrick this device, it is stuck with the HTC logo, recovery doesn't boot, and I only have fastboot with S-ON.
I've tried the troubleshooting guide, but I can't make the goldcard, it gives me the next error:
Code:
./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
(yes, fastboot devices shows the device)
I've read somewhere that this happens because this method is not compatible with HBOOT 0.93.0001 (The one it has).
Both AlphaRev and revolutionary methods don't do anything, since (if I have understood correctly) they need a full working ROM (yes, i've tried anyways)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know there are no guides stickied on top of the Q&A forum which answer your issue directly, and I'm sure you did all the relevant research before posting. Well done.

Did you bother to read my post before answering?
If you had, you would have noticed that im basically saying: "I tried the method in the guide, plus 2 more methods, and it is still not working"
To clarify: the method in the guide (section 2, "Advanced Boot Problems", under S-ON) does NOT work (explained on my first post)

Guide also says if you cant use the phone to get the CID (which you cant), you should use the CID tool, and then continue the tutorial from the unlockr after they get it.

Well, based on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347450
Whats wrong here is your hboot is not supported.
The HTC unlock method support the new HBOOT 2.xx. Either the official S-ON one or the leaked S-OFF.

I was asuming this answer was correct, I guess its not, i'll try what you are suggesting, thanks.

Yeah and if that doesnt aork you can *try* the 2.3 RUU, but that is a riskier option that can brick your phone (as i witnessed a few hours ago)

OP, you're saying you cant make a goldcard..Dont you have access to any other Android device that can?

I actually had a similar thing on my phone about a week ago no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to install a Recovery image and my phone was s-off I tried all the tutorials and they all failed. In the end I end up running a RUU from my carrier and that got it back to booting the original sense and then I used Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool 0.4pre4 h.t.t.p://revolutionary.io/ to get a working recovery image back on and it worked (was the only thing that did). then I restored my CM7 backup I had made previously and it was just like I left it
I probably didn't need to use the ruu in the end

as far as I know the unlock method of htc dev doesn't give you s-off (which seems to be confirmed by yourself saying you're still s-on). S-on means "security on" what in other words means you won't be able to flash a custom recovery (if I'm not mistaken here).
You said that you have read every thread here about this - so you should know as it's mentioned all over this forum (that htc dev isn't the best method...). For how - and if - you still could get there I''m not too sure but you probably need to do an RUU, downgrade etc to do the suggested method (of the two corresponding threads here) instead of the htc dev thing.
But as I said: I_m not sure if you still can - probably someone has experience here?

No, no. He will be able to flash a custom recovery if he unlocked it using HTCDev, he won't, however, be able to modify the internal storage while the phone is booted.

ah, yes, thx for clearifying - so you can't get control over the partitions or what does it mean?

The htc dev method gives a different output to revo or alpha, if it says s-on with unlocked somewhere then fastboot is the only method that will work for flashing a custom recovery and although some things like the revovery partition are unlocked for flashing, some important things like radio aren't hence the s still being on........
I presume if it says s-on and locked then yes you have probably gone wrong somewhere and locked it again.
Theres not many people on here that have used the htc dev unlock tool i don't think so support might be a bit thin as we don't know much about it, try running through the htc dev unlock method again to hopefully get it unlocked again and then flash cwm by the fastboot method.
If it says locked then i can't think of any other way, downgrading to hboot 1.01.0001in order to use revolutionary may work but i'm not sure if you can or not as i have personally never done it.

i already tried buzz downgrade a long ago.i used the method as it is told on the website..:good:
but don't know why it doesn't work properly i have no idea why this don't work either. i read number of threats regarding it and i tried to google
with the errors that came with buzz downgrade. something just goes wrong with it in the first step but it just doesn't get completed. the phone does not respond when i ran the buzz downgade utility even after installing the htc driver from the buzz downgrade itself (don't remember exactly that it is explained over the internet). i did clearly everything whatever is written in the threats about how to use the buzz downgrade but in vain i stopped it trying.
i still have the setup of buzz downgrade in my laptop.:silly:
but why it doesn't work i don't know..and you know what i read that threat too in the past.
may be it is the problem of the bootloader that it is locked..

During your procedure,did you ever achieve the S-OFF ?
You need to downgrade from 1.02.0000 to 1.01.0001 to use Revolutionary.
Try this guide.
If you want revolutionary will automatically download the recovery and install it on your phone.
After gaining S-OFF if you can't get Unrevoked working in order to gain root.
Use this or try SuperOneClick.
Good luck:good:

Try the link in my Sig, it should help. First, I recommend running an RUU and relocking your bootloader using fastboot oem lock.
Then try the debranding and rooting guide in the Sig.

this is the thing i already tried a long ago. when the wildfire was updated to 2.2 version of android ,it changed into "wildfire (buzz) 2.2.1, with HBOOT 1.01.0002"..now as the threats i read there in the past, i can't run the revolutionary or any other method. because the htc has applied some sort of lock on the new bootloader. revolutionary gave some error which i don't remember as per the threats. in the mean time nobody able to find the solution of this new 1.01.0002 bootloader unlocking. then i that time i heard of htc dev website and in that time i used that website to unlock my bootloader and alas it got unlocked and my bootloader has been changed to 1.02.000.. but now i again find that my bootloader is locked may be.. how i don;t know about that.. i tried to run that method of buzz downgrade number of times thoroughly again and again as if u read in the thread above it give some sort of error and does't do anything for me. so i asked what else i do then this , again do i need go to htc dev website to unlock bootloader ??

I never tried htcdev method so i have no idea about that.You should probably try their method once again,if that doesn't work,use the Gold card tool to downgrade the HBOOT using this guide.
Code:
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.
At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2
Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!
Create a new goldcard and re-run step2
or follow usaff22's guide.

You didn’t answer me,What is the information on your HBOOT screen?
Power off the phone and ensure the phone is completely off. Then hold POWER + VOL-DOWN buttons together until the white HBOOT screen appears. Tell us your HBOOT info.
You are getting Customer ID error,It’s a bad Goldcard.You will have to create a new Goldcard.
>Connect it to your computer using an SD Adapter and format the card to FAT32 file system once again.
>Redownload and reextract the package.
>Follow this guide to create the Goldcard.It’s a bit more detailed.
Before doing anything download CCleaner and TFC and run them.TFC will ask you to reboot.Reboot the PC.
Now make the Goldcard.Good luck.

not really clear to me also - if I got him right he initially has been on 1.01.0002 (because of the Android update). Because there hasn't been a possibility by revolutionary yet at that time and for that bootloader he unlocked it at the htcdev site what made it 1.02.000.
But I'm a bit confused, too, so a detailed information of the fastboot screen would really help (or a pic).

As it says,your Bootloader is still LOCKED.

[Q] htc desire hd can't boot because of s-on

Hello,
I am new to this things, so please excuse me if my question is just stupid.
I am trying to do a root first time on my HTC desire HD. I think I have done it succesfully. Then I have installed clockwork mode, succesfully too. But then, when I install custom ROM my phone is unable to boot it. It stuck with HTC logo on display. I have tried few ROMs but unseccesfully.
I done it by combination of few different manuals. First UNLOCK through hcdev.com, then root and install clockwork mod through AAHK. When I turn on my phone to recovery menu, it says: UNLOCKED and S-ON. I think this is is the problem. I am trying to gogle it, for 3 days now, but I can't fix it. I can't find any manual how to do S-OFF without bootable phone.
I am trying for 3 days, and it's really bad idea to be without phone... Please HELP me!
Sorry for my mistakes.

You need to extract the boot.img from the ROM and fastboot flash it. The Ace Think Tank thread's guide (in DHD General forums) has instructions.

[Q] Telus HTC will not downgrade for S-OFF

Ok I am new to XDA, I have and HTC Desire HD on Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 it was originally on the telus nework but was unlocked before we bought it, I have very basic knowledge ... a lot of work on my Samsung Tab 10.1 and Samsung Infuse ... both have been very customized, This HTC is the worst thing i have attempted ... I have run just about every program out there, now im trying to downgrade the bootloader (Yes, its unlocked) all I get are errors when trying to downgrade .... I live with a "developer"(he's a tool) he says I need s-off to be able to load roms (I like NIGHTLY builds had a lot of luck with them) and when i attempt to put a new rom on it all installs normally but then it never leaves the HTC Screen it will sit there for hours with nothing .... I have just about every htc dev tool i have found I made sure to read every result on google for this issue and nothing .... any questions just let me know Im always around Internet ... any help would be appreciated greatly.... up until this phone this forum has given me everything I need to know you guys are amazing,
Sam

If your boot loader is unlocked you can flash custom ROMs; you will just need to fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img each time. To do that read my signature. You don't need S-Off to flash ROMs. You can't run RUUs when your bootloader is unlocked. AAHK is retired, so S-Off must be done manually now.
