I want to S-On my DHD. I couldnt find any thread in the devolopment forum for it. It was tmobile branded phone until yesterday, then i downgraded it using glod card to 1.32 and then the s-off and then custom ROMS. But now I am unable to find any thread relating to S-onn the device.
please direct me in right direction.
Thanks
1) You should find the right ruu for your device, run it to restore the system and hboot (I think the Eng S-Off will be S-On after this)
2) You run the tool for Radio S-Off again, and check Radio S-On. And run the process. I'm not sure about the CID option in the tool.
Then you will be good.
Use this tool for easy s-on. Read instructions first.

I am with the same condition as you and asked a similar question here and here is the answer :

Yes that is right, you need to use this tool (or script methods in forum) if you want to flash using kernel update utility.

So for Kernel flashing or similar issues, yes we need extra ENG S-Off which I would recommed you to use the tool on the link above If you are a newbie like me.

I think you meant to say we need the extra radio s-off, not eng s-off. Just to avoid any confusion.
I´ve got the same problem. I don´t realy know the difference between ENG S-Off and SHIP S-Off.
I have have ROOT and ENG S-Off, but after I run Easy-RADIO-S-Off everythimg is the same like before.
Is there maybe another way to get Radio-S-Off?
For my ENG S-Off, I´ve made a step by step way with the terminal Emulator.
I need your Help
If you do Radio S-OFF on top of ENG S-OFF, nothing else is supposed to change but bootloader>system info CID. If you did full Radio S-OFF, which contains SuperCID and SimUnlock, the CID should be 11111111.
The differences of both S-OFFs:
- Radio S-OFF is more permanent, safer
- ENG S-OFF allows to use fastboot commands, such as fastboot flash radio
- Radio S-OFF (with SuperCID) allows downgrading from anything, it disables device version checking. If HTC has "banned" a certain downgrade from one version to the other, Radio S-OFF allows it.
@jkoljo
thx for your reply
I still have root and ENG S-Off. How can I get Radio S-Off and SuperCID too?
I´ve searched in the forum up and down. It seems that the Easy-Radio-S-Off Tool doesn´t work... ? Do you have another way for me?
Didn't the CID change (bootloader system info)? Because nothing else is supposed to change in the bootloader after you run the tool. Check Radio S-OFF tool troubleshooting. There is also a manual method posted by Apache, which uses older unlock code version than my tool.

Hi SEW580,
I had the same problem, apeared to be the wrong option/choice I made when I used te tool. you have to use the FIRST option ("Radio S-OFF, Super-CID an Sim Unlock"), this worked for me.
Let me know if it also did for you...

I would 100% get radio s-off. That way if Htc screw you over with an update which breaks root you aren't stranded.

The Tool is great, but it doesn´t work at mine. I tryed every option from first to last. I´ve got SU, Root and ENG S-OFF. I did everything whats needed. I run the Tool, it asked for permission, I confirm, it finished succesful, but nothing changes - no Radio S-Off or SuperCID :-(
Please try the 2.2 version, it tells you what went wrong.
By the way if you have a new radio in your phone, you have to downgrade first before running the tool.

Hello
I have currently sorted out my DHD so its Rooted And Radio S-Off so I have no problems flashing custom roms but whats throwing me a little is the need for Eng S-Off so I can flash a newer radio. Im just wondering the simplest way to achieve Eng S-Off plus also I take it there is no problems in doing Eng S-Off whilst the phone is Radio S-Off.
I have trawled through the forum but cant seem to come to any conclusion so any help would be appreciated.
Thnaks
Hello.
You can use this tool to achieve ENG S-OFF.
It is safe to apply if you already have Radio S-OFF, tried out myself.
Hello
Thanks for that Nadeo worked a treat. Much appreciated.

Ace put eng s-off
Hi,
I would to ask if do I still need to install RADIO S-OFF even I do have ACE PUT ENG S-OFF? and is there any issue when I installed RADIO S-OFF with existing ENG S-OFF?
If you want to flash radios, it is highly recommended to have radio s-off. Otherwise it is not necessary. You can safely apply radio s-off on top of eng s-off. Just remember that you have to have the radio from 1.32 (or lower than 1.7x RUU), and preferably 1.32.405.6 ROM. You can flash raidroid stockify ROM if you are using some custom ROM right now.
Hello everyone, I just got my DHD 2 days ago, and I already want to flash a new ROM on it (Revolution). I have rooted my phone via the wiki article, using gfree_02.
However, I am not sure about ENG S-OFF. I have rooted my phone using "./gfree -f", which means superCID, simlock off, RADIO S-OFF.
So I am guessing I only achieved RADIO S-OFF (besides permaroot, superCID and simlock). But prior to rooting the gfree way, I've noticed in the wiki that it suggested Visionary to be uninstalled. I've never installed it so it was no problem.
But now, in order to flash mike's Revolution, I need to have ENG S-OFF aswell (for flashing a better radio). I do not know if I achieved ENG S-OFF using only the gfree method (did I?). The only method I've seen is via ONE CLICK ENG S-OFF, via Visionary. I'd like to know a few things before I proceed.
Does installing Visionary on the phone, and turning ENG S-OFF via that method, cause any conflicts with gfree's permaroot? (seeing as the wiki suggest to not have Visionary installed) Does it have anything to do with the method I've used to permaroot?
And also, I would like to know what ENGINEERING HBOOT does, is it a second method to achieve ENG S-OFF? and if it's recommended over the Visionary way, considering I've achieved permaroot and RADIO S-OFF via gfree.
In case it is needed, my Build number is
Code:
1.32.405.6 CL278359
and Radio version is
Code:
12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Thanks in advance!
boot into bootloader, (turn your device off, when off hold the volume down key and press power) at the top of the hboot screen it will either say "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF" that is radio s-off. if it says "ACE PVT ENG S-OFF" thats eng s-off, if you only have radio s-off, you need to install an older 1.32 based htc rom with a stock kernel before you can use the eng s-off tool
Thanks for the reply!
Yep, it appears it is saying "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF". But why do I need to install an older 1.32 ROM, I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere (except if the ROM is 1.7x)
Here's a quote from the One Click ENG S-OFF thread

It is best to use STOCK ROM (lower than 1.7x)!

So I should qualify for using the tool, right? If not, could you tell me from where have you read that you must install an older 1.32 (I already have 1.32.405.6)
Yes, your build is compatible
Great, thanks for the replies!
I have ENG S-OFF, and will proceed to flash a new radio. Just to be on the safe side, should I do a backup via CWM? Does CWM also backup radios?
The backup does not include a radio, so it does not matter whether you do it or not. You can find all the radios here in XDA, so it is not a problem.
you can flash any radio you want.
you can find the recommended radio for Revolution Rom, in the Revolution post.
I'm using Android Revolution 2.0.11 with kkernel_v19cfs kernel (you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836259).

Hi everyone
I know there are many threads on this but I cant seem to get my head round what I actually need to do.
I need to send my phone for warranty and of course I will need to unroot. I am currently running CoreDroid.
I have the RUU that I want to install, so please can somebody outline the various steps I should take in order to return my phone to factory state including S-on?
As I understand it, I need to
1: Install the RUU (By the way does this change the splash screen that comes before the boot animation as I have a custom one installed?)
2: As this will go to version 1.32, install Visionary and temproot
3: Run Jkolos S-off tool to change the CID back to stock and reset S-on
4: Not too sure here
So if somebody could please change and correct these steps I would be very grateful. Thank you very much.
What I did was,
1. Flash the 1.32.405.6 RUU
2. PermRoot with Visionary+
3. Reboot.
4. Run Jkoljo's ENG S-OFF / Radio S-OFF tool to restore
-SHIP S-ON
-CID : HTC__001
5. Reboot
6. Reflash 1.32.405.6
After that you should have a Stock Desire HD running 1.32.405.6 Firmware with SHIP S-ON, Radio S-ON & a stock CID.
Your steps pretty sum up what I did.
That's it. I've done this twice and htc has repaired both times.

i managed to get s-off but when i try to get eng s-off i had long time to boot to the rom so where to get eng hboot for 3.13 rom ? and how to get eng s-off for this new dhd ?
connect the phone to ur pc in charging mode and not mount the sd card
i'm not sure there is a way, because if i'm not mistaken, only 0.85 hboot is eng s-off, and that will jam up 3.x shipped phones. not 100% sure though, but after reading through aahk docs it was said not to do it. try reading this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424023
might be some useful info here. the part i did read talks about s-off, but i think thats radio. gl
You can't and you shouldn't as you have seen messes up your phone. Their is no need for Eng soff. I'm assuming you want to flash a radio. Just flash one using the pd98img formatted method
