[Q] unable to get eng s-off on leedroid 1.51

Today i have flashed the latest leedroid rom but i am now unable to flash the matching radio im guessing this is down to my phone being ship s-off not eng s-off. previous to the new update i was able to flash radios with no problem now i get REMOTE NOT ALLOWED. i have tried putting my phone back to eng s-off but get an error "incompatible ROM/Kernal with the easy s-off tool.
How would i be able to get eng s-off back to flash the radio?
any help would be greatly appieciated.

the eng s-off tool isnt compatible with newer roms with custom kernels, do a nandroid backup of your current rom, then flash an older based rom with a STOCK HTC KERNEL. run the s-off tool, then restore your backup

Thats correct. Good to know. You learn something everyday.
From the One click S-OFF Thread:
System requirements:
•Windows XP SP2 or higher
•.NET Framework 3.5
•HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
•Desire HD with original kernel (or Buzz 1.0.7 / 1.1.4 Sense). It is best to use STOCK ROM (lower than 1.7x)! The new HTC radio does not work.

Thank you that worked a treat. why didn't i yhink of that...

No i just flashed an old cyanogenmod rom that i had on my pc and that worked just fine.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

is your phone ENG S-OFF or SHIP S-OFF? (written at the top of the screen in the bootloader)
to flash radio, you need both Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF.
and what exactly does the error say in adb.

[Q] radio S-OFF?

hey,
Today i finally desided to perm root my DHD using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928160 everything went fine and it all seems to work, i desided to install rom manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery. (clockwork also works fine and I have made a backup of my stock rom)
now i want to install this rom Android revolution HD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984045and i need radio S-OFF and HTC desire HD S-OFF.
when i go into bootloader the top line say's ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF does this mean I am good to go?

YOU ARE Doing these well, if you flash ARev.HD later you can go back flashing an stok rom take this link for choose your OFFICIAL RUU...
http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
but i think that if you taste a cooked rom you are not going back to RUU OFFICIAL ROM hahahah
CERTAINLY.. have you made HBOOT S OFF ENG-SPL????(its fully reversible flashing an stok rom) and It makes possible to recover the system of a bad flash recovery...
sorry for my bad english

What I think SERGI.3210 is trying to say, is that you need ENG HBoot or ENG S-OFF before you can flash radios.
Here are the threads you should read,
ENG S-OFF
RADIO S-OFF

I did not flash (well, I dont think I did) hboot and i don't now how to do this either the tekst in bootloader says this:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
How do I make HBOOT S OFF ENG-SPL and is their a way to check if I already have it?
And what does this do?

uups!!! thanks andyharney! i forgot to put that you need ENG S-OFF to flash radios!!
certainly... take this XDA´S LINK for go back to OFICIAL RUU:
http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/

Use the ENG S-OFF tool in the first link to get ENG S-OFF. Without this you cannot flash radio.img's via fastboot.
Once you have ENG S-OFF use the other link to get Radio S-OFF. The tools are very easy to use and 99.9999999999999999% safe.

I took another look at the article i used to root and it said this:
you will have permanent root (S-OFF), as well as subsidy unlock and SuperCID. At this point, you can also choose to flash the engineering hboot
If you don't want the engineering hboot, just reboot your phone. You can verify you have permanent root by holding volume down while powering on (you'll see S-OFF in the first line of the bootloader). You are now free to install a new recovery and start flashing custom ROMs. If you don't want to flash a new ROM, it's safe to uninstall the Visionary app at this point.
Does this mean i already have radio S-OFF?

[Q] Can i flash any RUU from other country in my HOX S-off?

The details of my phone shown in fastboot is as shown below:
ENDEAVORU XE SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-11111111
HBOOT-0.96.0000
CPLD-None
MICROP-None

CPU-bootmode: disabled
HW secure boot: disabled
MODEM PATH: OFF
May 10 2012, 01:32:07
The software number is 1.29.415.11
From this details the mobile is S-OFF and has supercid. Am i right?(Sorry newbie)
I have already unlocked its bootloader and rooted it. But can i update it to jelly bean using any RUU?(as it is S-OFF)(Without using any custom roms)
From this thread-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189048 i see that my phone is HTC Arabic with no JB updates.. ..
Can i update it using another countries' RUU? Will it be any problem?.. please help!!

Yes you can !

Thanks a lot Mr Hofs.. .. That means i can use any RUU. But i can only see JB in asia and european RUU. There is no JB update in India. So do I need to update anything? I mean hboot or anything else before flashing RUU or will the RUU do it on its own?
I can see different software numbers of each countries' RUU.Will it be any problem?
And will the change in the radio from 1.1204.105.14 to 5.xxxxx be any problem with carriers? I am residing in India.
Thanks a lot in advance!!..

From what i have seen its no problem, you may have language problems because your native language might not be implemented. But if you have an Indian ruu you can always return to that. You are fully capable of downgrading and upgrading the hboot.
So if you install a 3.14 ruu you can also return to a 1.29 ruu
Edit : in this thread you can find all sorts of ruu's. Also the 2.17.415

Wow!! thts grt!.. ..Actually the phone has Arabic RUU with middle eastern english. I think I will flash this-RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Ra dio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe
It has world wide english. Mr Hofs last question can i directly use the above RUU or do i have to go step wise? My phone is currently running android 4.03 with this RUU-
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_ARA_1.29.415.11_Radio_1. 1204.105.14_release_260742_signed.exe

Since its s-off you should be able to install it directly, im not sure if you need to relock the bootloader for s-off devices to correctly install the ruu.
At least the command to relock it is :
Fastboot oem lock
After all that you can unlock again and use a custom rom or stay on stock, whatever you choose

Thanks a lot!! I will try the Asian RUU..In case of any problem will a nandroid backup from CWM do the trick?
And according to you which is the best JB custom rom?
Edit: Do i need to upgrade the firmware manually for JB or will the RUU do it on its own?

Yes. Nandroid backup is always recommended... But since you have a s-off device, you can run any ruu out here (upgrade + downgrade) So returning to a working os shouldn't be a problem for you
Why don't you try a few roms from the development section and settle on the one which suits you the best?! all roms are good! It's the end user who has to decide which he likes ... + rom comparison isn't allowed in xda...

Hey Arnab,
I just happened to stumble across your post. I have a similar device (Endeavor XE S-OFF with hboot 1.12) and I have been trying to get a custom 4.4 rom update on this. But have been unsuccessful so far (here's the link to my problem description and what all I have tried).
I see that your post is fairly old and I'm assuming that you were able to upgrade your HOX to JB and further. Can you pls share your experience and any tips ?
thanks,
Kunal

find firmware.zip and flash it manually and you will upgrade your hboot then flash 4.4 because your phone is XE can't update by oficial way charge the phone then flash manualy firmware.zip then your hboot will be 1.72 the go to custom rom

Hi Thant,
You mean I should flash a JB firmware or ICS ? Which one exactly ?
The problem for me is identifying which one to use (considering I'm super-cid and as mentioned by you, thankfully, that I have a test device). I have already tried a few RUUs and no success.
I just don't want to brick it. Hope you understand.
thanks,

HOX Hboot 0.94.0/main version 1.28.161.9 no JB?

Hi guys,
I got a HOX with CID VODAP102.
Using HBOOT 0.94.0000 and main version 1.28.161.9
Radio uknown ('none' says bootloader)
I want to update to JB, specifically CM10.1.
But i need to update my HBOOT, though can't seem to figure out how with my CID...
How would i go about this? The threads i found are either inconclusive or with different versions.
Oh yeah, this didn't work because of the CID thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
edit; just noticed, i already did the fastboot flash boot boot.img. So now i have a boot.img with an older version of the CM software. Which appearantly does not boot.
Thanks, Ice

are you rooted and unlocked?

Rooted and unlocked. Been running CM10 for a while (beta's).
Device is still S-on though; but thats for all HOX's i think?

yeah, however to update your HBOOT you need to download the right firmware package for your CID here
Code:
# adb reboot bootloader
# fastboot oem lock
# fastboot oem rebootRUU
# fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
# fastboot reboot
now you need to unlock it again and flash a custom recovery... and that's it, flash whatever you want now

well that did it! at least; the phone boots again.
rebooted to bootloader and that now says hboot 1.36 which probably means i can update to 10.1.
just to be sure; i need to install CWM again, copy the boot.img and flash cm10.1?
ill try that tonight. just glad i can be reached again.. need the phone for work
Thanks!
edit; oh and unlock the bootloader again. Or is that not necessary since i should already have root access?

dont use any of those, you're best option is to go completely stock by using an ruu from the link I will post at the end for you. when you go to the page the ruu that you want is the 7th from the bottom, it will be version 1.28.161.9 and should be 609MB. start downloading it then there are some other things that you need to do in the meantime>>>>>http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor make sure it matches exactly the version I have stated

How to update FW after flashing Viper 1.8.0 (S-On) ???

I'm a little bit lost because I can't be S-Off (Firewater doesn't work for me "WHelp") and I don't find any RUU for my CID.
I'm S-On with a HTC__247 CID (1.54.401.5).
I would like to update my FW and Radio, but what is the possibility with my Setup?
Must I flash a Stock Recovery to have an OTA?
But for the rest? I don't made any backup of my stock Rom before flashing Viper...
What is the solution?
