reboot your device into bootloader by pressing volume-down and power-on. after that the screen shows diffrent information about your phone. in the first line you can check whether it is s-off or s-on.

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?".

First of all check if ur phone is S-OFF by booting in Hboot (Shut Down phone and On by Pressing Down Volume + Power Button) , if its S-OFF, then u can root it

Actually he must be knowing whether his device is S-ON or S-OFF. All devices will be having S-ON at first. And then if xtc clip is used, it can be made S-OFF with some expenses.
In your case, u got the phone (which was previously made s-off) from others. It wont be the case with everyone.
The only way Is using xtc clip

You need to unlock bootloader from htcdev then you will be able to root.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using xda premium
he has s-off , no need for unlocked bootloader ! just run root from superoneclick found at here ... you'll guide yourself after downloading the file believe me ! It is the easiest rooting tool i ever seen !
Must be some kind of problem if he's s-off and it says locked oow.
Just double check in your bootloader and confirm if it says s-off or s-on.
If your s-off as I am then it should not say anything about locked or unlocked.
It looks like you successfully updated the bootloader [*** LOCKED (OOW) ***] but didn't finish the procedure at htcdev to get it unlocked. But in any case, it should root because you have S-OFF already.
SuperClick Root thing doesnt worl.
And yes and it is s off
have you tried zergrush, too?
Another theory would be, that the locked bootloader "overwrites" the S-OFF behavior somehow. You have 2 choices.
1) flash a hboot 1.08.0000 or whichever you want that is not from htcdev
or
2) finish the htcdev process and get your bootloader unlocked.
Hello i'm the person vinnyt is talking about, that is having the problem with rooting the HTC Wildfire S, it is a marvelc cdma phone from Metro pcs (USA service). I first used HTC Wildfire S - Unlocking Bootloader by Mstechify on youtube and i did this like the 2nd day i had my wildfire s and the first time i had an htc, so i had no idea about htc dev at the time, but anyway i did this method and i followed all the steps until the end when the program tells you to press any button to reboot, what i did was unplugged the phone but i noticed i was not rooted so i went to the the boot loader and noticed it said locked oow and it said s off so i tried almost all the root methods and tried to use htc dev, and htc dev just tells me that its the wrong RUU program so i don't know. Guys please help me all I want to do is temp. root to remove bloatware please help. thanks.
You need to unlock bootloader!

Follow this tutorial and remember to thank theq86

Did you tried out the the HTCDev.com Process.
HTCDEV.COM --> Choose Model --> Update HBOOT --> Now says "Locked OOW"
---> then Get the Token as directed by the HTC DEV.Com --> paste the token in textbox in htcdev.com ---> you got "unlock_token.bn" --> flash that using "fastboot" --> you got as "*** UNLOCKED *** ",
I hope that there is Nothing bother about S ON or Soff., My device is S-ON but Hboot is in "Unlocked" state, I already Flashed out Custom ROMS . Try out that
if you are s-off use simonsimons utility to unlock your bootloader and fastboot flash a custom recovery, then flash the superuser zip for full root

I had to turn s back on on my phone, but now i have three flags Tampered, Relocked, and Secruity warning, is there any way to get rid of the tampred and secruity warning and change the relocked back to locked?
Are you S-OFF if you aren't check if firewater it's compatible with your device and you can S OFF I don't suggest you do this if you don't have some experience with things like this..
Can I unlock bootloader and root and stuff using the AIO toolkit, then S-off from there?

Yes you can but no guarantee that you can get s-off
So is it correct to say that if I S-off before doing any modding with the phone, s-off is guranteed? And will HTC check for S-off during warranty check?

No its not guaranteed s-off depends on your phone international unlocked does not s- off and some others

Hello, I am an owner of HTC 10 bought in T-Mobile in Poland, Europe. My latest available software through OTA was 1.95.118.3, as shown on screenshot below, with the security patch from August. I wanted to change my CID to USA unlocked, but I have a couple of questions:
1) If I unlock the bootloader and change CID, will I be able to re-lock the bootloader?
2) If so, do you think that if I change CID to USA-unlocked and relock the bootloader my phone will be normally accepted on HTC warranty as if it was just stock? Or will they say that if my CID is from usa, my phone has to be serviced in USA?
3) Can HTC prove that I've unlocked my phone's bootloader and thus refuse to accept the warranty? I mean, even if I relock it, does HTC collect any info during the process of unlocking?
Thanks for the reply!
Your phone is out of HTC warranty either way when the bootloader gets unlocked. Even without changing the CID.
You need to be S-Off in order to change your CID, and Sunshine gives the option to S-Off your phone without unlocking the bootloader.
With S-Off "locked" you will still be able to flash a custom recovery and ROM, but staying locked will hide that from HTC for warranty. You just have to go back to S-On using Sunshine

What you said made me extremely happy One question - on sunshine changelog it says:
Version 3.4
No wipe/format for HTC 10 (when choosing S-OFF/LOCKED)
S-OFF/LOCKED will behave as S-OFF/UNLOCKED on HTC 10
Does it mean if I choose S-OFF/LOCKED it will still be shown in bootloader as UNLOCKED?

No it will show S-OFF/locked. But you can do everything you can do with an S-OFF/unlocked device.
