Don't ask how, because I'm not sure, but I am running CM7 on my DINC, and yet I'm "S-ON". My question is, how do I go about gettin it back to "S-OFF"? Do I need to flash back to stock and then re-root? Or can I just re-root with CM7? Or can I just run the unrevoked.zip through CWM? I'm still able to flash rom's. Does the "S-ON" affect anything? Thanks for your assistance!
Being S-ON prevents you from flashing radios and using metamorph themes. Being S-ON or S-OFF doesn't effect your ROM flashing abilities or root. To become S-OFF, use the forever tool on http://www.unrevoked.com

Awesome! Thanks, I'll look into that. Flashing a custom or different boot animation would be cool.

I rooted 2.2 froyo, and used unrevoked forever. S is unlocked but I am unable to install any cm6 roms. Does this mean nand is still locked on my phone? And if so what do I do to unlock it as I am wery about repeating the wrong steps. Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You are going to have to install the eng-bootloader in order to use the cm6 ROMs.
If you have not flashed any ROMs on your phone you should be at 2.1
Now you need to follow the rest of the instructions and install the eng-bootloader from the pc36img.zip

I have installed other roms currently running the latest fresh rom
I never updated my bootloader when I rooted my 2.2 froyo.. I have cm6. Maybe I lucked out.

I believe the unrevoked forever does that for you but you have to select it.
from www.unrevoked.com
unrevoked forever is a tool to set your Android phone's security level to S-OFF. The security level is a flag stored on the radio; when the flag is S-OFF, the bootloader (HBOOT) will no longer check the signatures of firmware images before flashing them. This allows custom firmware images to be uploaded, including unsigned boot, recovery, splash1, and hboot images (as well as official images that have been modified). When the system is S-OFF, the NAND flash memory protection is also reduced; this allows all partitions (including /system) to be written to while the operating system is booted.
Great response REM

What are you trying to do, could you be more specific? Unrevoked gives you unlocked nand, so i'm not sure what problem your running into?

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
are you sure unrevoked worked, sometimes you have to do it a couple times....do you have superuser permissions? I would make sure unrevoked is correctly installed...also redownload your rom and make sure the download is completed successfully, i never dl to phone, always to pc...

should I use unrevoked forever

Boot the phone into bootloader and you should see S-ON or S-OFF. If you see S-OFF you have nand unlocked.

Yes, that is what I said earlier a couple posts up.
Ya can't flash cm6 directly from unrevoked you need eng boot and amon recovery to flash it. You are most likely nand unlocked but trying to flash through clockwork. Easy fix is download Rom manager from marketplace then choose change recovery or whatever it says. I haven't looked at it for aong time then choose amon ra recovery. Then do another nand backup because clockwork and amon don't really work together. Then you should be able to flash cm6 no problem. Though having already done this I would personally suggest vaelpak over cm6 its almost all aosp and everything on your phone will still be functional. Plus its just as snappy as cm6 and I seem to get a far greater battery life with it.

If you want to be able to install CM6 you need the ENG Bootloader.

Use Unrevoked to root, and it will also give you s-off as well.

What is s off?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
It's a more full root option. Allows you to flash hboot versions, splash screens and a few other things.
You don't really need it, it's more for advanced users but it's nice to have it off to give you the possibility of doing further tweaks to your device.
You can still flash ROM's and Kernels with it on.

You don't have to have s-off. When running unrevoked, before you let it do anything, uncheck "disable phone security" and it will keep s-on. Much easier if you may ever have to send it in for service.

I, too, flashed multiple ROMs before doing S-OFF. S-OFF is for flashing things like radios, HBOOT versions, and splash screens. And metamorph things too I believe.

Hmm....I'm still not sure what exactly I need to do to root. I checked those links, and it looks like "unrevoked" is how you root, but it seems like there are different unrevoked software, so I'm not sure what to pick.
I was taken to "unrevoked3" but it said "this does not currently work with stock froyo phones." My phone is stock froyo.
Guess I just want to make sure before I do anything. With my previous phones, it was as simple as clicking a button to root.
It is with this phone as well
Unrevoked 3 should work fine as long as its for the incredible

My buddies EVO has never been rooted and he got the GB OTA. He wants to go to CM7. His bootloader says S-off so I don't know why I can't install superuser.

His phone is rooted, but the ROM doesn't have superuser privileges. Download a rooted 2.3 version and install it for superuser privileges. Flash AmonRa as a PC36IMG if need be

Wait what ??? My phone is rooted I'm using the express ROM ...
I been rooted for like 2 years now I just didn't notice that I neeeded S-off to flash hboots or radios. Which is weird because I used to flash radios and flash a new hboot with S-on . But now i can't update the bootanimation the PC36IMG.zip file or update the hboot.

This is no problem. I assume you changed your HBOOT to use the Anthrax kernel? Well, you should've downgraded your radio first, and then this would've been a LOT easier. But, since you're stuck at S-ON, now, you'll need to follow these instructions to fix it.

Hey captain I'm guessing you want me to do this? ?
It'll be okay . Boot into recovery and nandroid. You'll need it once you're done.
Just download this: PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Ra dio_2 .15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip
Rename to PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD Card. Boot into Bootloader, and let it update your device.
Then, once it boots up, got into settings and enable USB Debugging, and go to unrevoked.com and select unrevoked3 to root & NAND unlock your device.
Then, you can switch your recovery to Amon RA, full wipe, and restore your nandroid.

You won't have to do anything with your HBOOT anymore after this. This will get you back to S-OFF, and at the end, you'll just restore whatever you're running now (unless you just want to flash something else).
You can flash the Express ROM, the Anthrax kernel, the updated radios, and you'll still be S-OFF.
Trust me, just follow the instructions. it's easy. You have to download and install the Froyo ROM so you can re-root with unrevoked. After that, you're just installing a custom recovery and restoring your nandroid.
Okay I got it but you lost me in the last part. Okay so I need to install a froyo rom right now then update the PC36IMG.zip and then let it boot. Go to settings and use the USB debugging and go to the website install the exe. Root the phone and nandroid it? .....
