hi, i got a question for the s off thing. i went to the bootloader and saw i got eng s-off does that mean i can flash any radio i want? and what is with the cid? how can i get supercid and what does it do?
When you're in the bootloader and this shows you "ENG S-OFF" you're able to flash any radio.
The superCID can be found in bootloader "bootloader > system info > CID".
11111111 = superCID = Radio S-OFF
Eng-Off
I think you can flash any radio
You also need radio S-OFF in order to flash radios properly.

What does the RUU replace exactly?
Can I brick my phone by flashing the wrong RUU?
Why do people downgrade instead of flashing an older RUU?
The RUU replaces everything. Radio, bootloader, ROM, recovery. So you'll loose root and ENG S-OFF but you'll keep radio S-OFF.
You cant flash an older RUU if you don't have S-OFF.
And no, it doesn't matter which RUU you flash.

is the radio S-OFF flag hidden that deep? even an RUU wont reset it!
so basically if I have radio S-OFF I can flash any RUU I like. that's cool
btw what's ENG again? and what's the different between ENG S-OFF (or ON) and radio S-OFF (or ON)?
my understanding is that if you have radio S-OFF then everything is S-OFF and you can mess with the device as bad as you like
the way i understand, you could say Eng S-OFF is a "security off" placed after bootloader and Radio S-OFF is a "security off" placed before it, so even a normal bootloader see it as a S-OFF... please, someone correct me if i'm wrong.
Radio S-OFF isn't THAT deep, it's just stay in a place not touched by flashing officlal RUU.
So when you are Radio S-OFF and flash a RUU, bootloader and everything beyond it is replaced; you keep with a Radio S-OFF (cause it stays before bootloader), but lose Eng and Root (cause it stays after bootloader).
you can't flash a older RUU without Radio S-OFF and to achieve it, you need eng s-off and for that you need root. So, if you have a 1.7xxxxxx RUU, you can't simple flash a older RUU...
i hope it could be understood, my english is not quite good when i need so much adverbs, past sentences and whatever more! =o)

Hey, newbie here so i need some advice.
i already have a custom rom and now i want to flash radio, anyone can guide me along?
Questions,
Can i use any type of radio.img file? or must it be country specific [Singapore]
How do i check if i have radio s-off and/or Eng s-off?
any tips on what to do and what not to do?
Thanks =)
You need to have Eng, S-Off to flash a new radio. I guess you already have that. to check Eng-Off, boot your device to bootloader and see if it says Eng-OFF on the top.
Then follow this beautifully written guide here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597
i only see ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF is that eng s-off? what about radio s-off?
you should read this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846248
to be simple: you need Radio S-OFF and Eng S-Off (to know what it means, read the thread above).
So, root, get S-OFFs, and flash radio:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403 <-- Eng S-Off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597 <-- Flashing Radio
really easy! =o)
Edit: and you can flash any radio, not carrier or country restrict!

Pay for it or wait on full s-off, or just be happy with unlock.
small question why do u need to change CID ?
The question is how not why or what for.
But just to have WWE CID HTC__001 instead T-MOB009.

hello,
i would like to flash radio on my desire HD. In the bootloader i see following:
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF
with the above setting, does it mean i have ENG and Radio S-OFF so that i can flash the radio without any other intermediatory step?
Also,in case i want to revert back to original Radio after flashing a new one, will the nandroid backup/restore help ?
Radio S-OFF and Eng S-OFF are two different things. You need to do the Radio S-OFF procedure to be able to flash radios. Nandroid backups and restores do not affect the radio. It's independent of the ROM, that's why there's a different flashing process for radios.

A nandroid backup will not restore a radio. All you have to do is reflash the old one.
If you have engsoff yes you can flash radios
thanks for the feedback guys, was able to flash the radio..
