Hi,
I have an issue, i am trying to radio s - off my device so i can flash a different radio as i have heard it can improve signal and possibly battery.
I have eng s - off which shows in the bootloader screen, but the CID says HTC_001 which i believe means that I do not have Radio S-off, correct me if i am wrong on this please
I used the tool which is metioned in one of the threads in here where all you do is highlight an option on the pc (Radio S-Off. Super CID and SimUnlock (usual) ) and click on Do it! , so i did and it gets to a certain point and then hangs on the pc and my phones screen goes off, i have to pull the battery to get it to come back on again, i do not get a request for super user and nothing else seems to happen besides the screen going off.
If anyone knows how this procedure is supposed to happen then please let me know, I have read through the thread which i got this tool from but there doesn't seem to be any detail of the prog hanging, I don't want to brick my device either so please only reply if you have some experience with this.
Thanks in advance.
Presently i am using Coredroid Themed
Leedroids 2.2.4 kernel
Clockwork 3.0

Ah yea, i have to downgrade again, won't work on 1.72 or above, seeing as i'm on coredroid it looks like the only way to do it is to downgrade, why couldn't you have just said that though.
Because I want people to learn things themselves. You do not need to downgrade, you can read the FAQ and find out that you can flash Raidroid. The tool will work on raidroid.

Granted, i know what you mean, but i was at work and was flapping a bit so sorry bout that, knowledge is free theres no need to hold back on something when the answer is quite simple, people in need of things tend to over complicate things where as someone in the know has the ability to tell the person straight what to do.
Thanks for helping, i appreciate it.

Is that because it's lower than 1.72 right?
Yep that is right
Question:
I have rooted my Wildfire with unrEVOked, but security is still enabled (S-ON)... Why?
Rooting your phone with unrEVOked doesn't disable security.
-----
Question 2:
Can I change the splash screen on my Wildfire, without S-OFF?
No, unless proved otherwise.
Don't hesitate from contributing!
-----
A thread contatining all the information necessary to obtain S-OFF on your Wildfire has been linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
Keep in mind, this software is currently in the stages of beta testing, and has the ability to brick your phone, even after an official version is released, the same risks still apply.
!USE WITH CARE!
You need to find an XTC Clip hardware box and use it. That will enable S-OFF. No software only method yet.
UnrEVOked has made some software called UnrEVOKED Freedom for some phones which sets them to S-OFF but so far isn't available for Wildfire

Okay, thanks for the replies. I'll definitely keep an eye out for any method that only requires software.
AlphaRev is what you are looking for. But, no idea when it comes out. Probably never, but, don't know. Never felt the need (Not want) for S-OFF.
@3xeno,
yes I have heard of "AlphaRev", but seeing as though their solution to getting S-OFF on the wildfire is still in developement, I was wondering if there was any alternative.
Well, I suppose I'll have to wait. Not that I'm impatient...
Thanks for the response. I'll edit the thread post later to direct any newcomers to the right place.
You wont be able to remove the Telstra Splash Screen without S-OFF, sorry.
The boot animation can be changed, but, that plays after the splash if I recall correctly. There is a thread somewhere in General Forum only, where, other telstra users were discussing the same thing.
Yes, the boot animation appears after the initial splash screen. That's all I really have to say, and thanks for all the help.
I'll update this thread when, and if necessary.
(By the way, I did use the search function before I made this thread)
yes present version of alpha rev can make ur phone to s-off. u said that u r rooted. now u can use alpha rev to patch ur hboot to 1.01 patched and s-off. dont worry still it will be in rooted state. many people dont even know this process. only senior members and developers know this. i havent done this because im stuck on official froyo. u just watch the posts of senior membors and developers. in their posts u will see their phone details like "AlphaRev- HBOOT 1.01 S-OFF". that was a patched hboot and was made by alpharev, which is not known by many people yet. if u find anyone like that, ask them about the process.
regarding ur 2nd question, u can splash ur screen with custom picture. there are apps for that. just make a search

I know what you meant. meh.
I said you can't use an APP to flash it. Apps and the OS in general cannot access mtdblock0 when turned on (maybe it's possible to mount it, but only with s-off and I wouldn't recommend it anyway). That's what fastboot is for.

The release date will be disclosed on the day of release. Your phone needs root to use it. It will not be compatible with any HBOOT >= 1.x. (Froyo ota update)

Hey guys,
i've updated the radio to 32.56.0032U_5.17.05.23. from this time i got hard problems. the wlan turns on and off all the time, and if i want to go in the wlan-settings the device freezes, if i install an app the device freezes too, well actually it freezes at everything lol. even a ruu cant delete the s-off.
is it bricked? or what is this?
i hope you guys could help me
Lol bricked. Such an over used word nowadays. Just flash an older radio.
yea the ruu put an older radio on, but still doesnt work.
and why doesnt the ruu remove s-off?
If you got the newer hboots then you will need the downgrader hboot to downgrade.
Swyped...
so i did a downgrade, but s-off and its hboot is still there....
i got it fixed, mods can close/delete the thread
Tell us first what you did exactly to fix your problem, that might help someone else in the future.

There is a Q&A section for you to put this question in don't waste developers time and mods time by putting your question here. you will get flamed just a fair warning I'm not mad just saying...

You should had to ask this in your mind before flashing an RUU that contain an hboot update!
Go to www.shipped-roms.com and find the froyo RUU and flash it, it should downgrade your hboot and you should be able to root again. If you have a branded desire you’re going to need goldcard.
I you dont know how to Flash a RUU use the search function

It's reported to not work! The new hboot does not allow to flash an older hboot.
An S-off could have protected him. Have you tried the new AlpharevX to try and S-Off ur device? If it works, you can reverse the process later.

Try their irc channel as well. It could be a 'soft' incompatibility, wherein they've disabled it because they havent yet tested it.
Is there no other rootable rom of the same hboot?

If I not wrong, was a temp root anyway. But if Paul flashed the new hboot, this is a good news for those that flashed it too. He will of course find the way to change rom

I agree as well, but in the meantime there possibly are a few thousand Desire users who want this problem solved. Another possibility is that people who waited for the GB-update want to root after this disappointing update. They also might be potential donators (including me), so please get root for the official GB-update up and running!
Thanks in advance!
Hello mates, i'm having the same issue, just want to downgrade back to froyo and i can't do it because of the hboot . i've tried with unrewoked, went to shipped roms but nothing succeded.. can you please, tell me if someone managed to fix it ? thanks.
I know its frustrating but you will probably have to wait, keep an eye on the Desire Android Development section, I'm sure when theres a fix the devs will post it up there for you

Hi guys, I know there are a lot of posts about this , and thats the reason I write new one. I read them all, not only from this forum but from few more in the internet. What I need to know is - what is the safest and easiest ( I know its not easy ) way to downgrade my DHD with 3.12.405.1 software version to convinient one , so I can S-off, root and change my rom. I read about a lot of tools , 2-3 ways of doing it , but because of different problems like broken links, lack of support on the posts I decided to ask for your help here . Whats the way to do this - using AAHC, using this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424023) made me confused what is this platform-tools directory and some other things in it. So , I am ready for giving you a few beers ( I am sure other people too) if you explain me which sites or ways are these what I (and other users) should use
Cmon , doesnt any1 did this in the near future and show me what he used , thats all I need, no explains no nothing ?
You should try the official bootloader unlock from HTCDev : http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
Follow the instructions, unlock your bootloader. Then flash a custom recovery image like clockworkmod from Fastboot using "Fastboot flash recovery [recovery_image]" from command line.
Boot into bootloader by pressing the Vol down and Power button to get into the Bootloader and then select Recovery.
Install the zip of whatever ROM you want from the recovery then.

Use AAHK. In short, run once to downgrade and a second time to S-OFF, flash custom recovery and and root. Make sure you read the entire manual.
The HTCDEV method gives you fewer ROM options and adds an extra flash step. It also is detectable so you can't go back to undetectable unroot, making warranty unrecoverable.

If u simply want to change ur rom or just root it u can do it with a software called rootme.Google it n u will find it.i hv tested it on 3.12 version but doesnt work on 3.13 version.once rooted install rom manager app from the market and flash a recovery within the app. Thn reboot into recovery using the same app. Now install whtever zip format rom u want. But if u want s-off thn u need to downgrade coz non of the softwares support the current version. Download a ruu of the software version u want to downgrade to on your computer run it n ur phone will be flashed to that version thn u can use softwares like ATM or easy s-off by jyoko..
P.s u can fibd the ruu on goo.im or just google for thm but remember if ur phone came with a gingerbread on it flash it with a Gingerbread ruu but if it came it Froyo u can flash any RUU.

Actually , I think I am confused. All of you told me maybe 3-4 different ways. So I reconcidered what I need most and it is downgrade tool. The other things are easy for me. I just cant use lower version rom and start it because I cant find out if my phone was bought with froyo or GB. Thats my problem now - how to downgrade from 3.12.405.1 to rom that can be used for S-off , root and installing recovery :fingers-crossed: And at the end - I cant find a proper link to download Advanced Ace Hack Kit, the one from its site downloads the 96.8mb file and says :network error: .. wtf ?

There is only ONE way to hack your device. The Advanced Ace Hack Kit (http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=74) That will S-OFF and root your device in almost one step.
HTCDEV tools is useless and will not give you full control over your device, besides leaving traces of the unlock in case you need to revert back to stock for warranty purposes.
Use the Hack Kit and if needed use the guide in my signature to have more information. :good:

Yeah I run the AAHK but I got condused of so many menus there, I am afraid of bricking the device. Thats what I did - downloaded AAHK 12062012, extracted it, put the ROM file inside the folder in extracted files of AAHK. The I run it, input the password and its all connected. My phone is with fast boot of, debugging on and on charging only state . Whats the next I should do - there is nothing exactly shown. Should I press 1 and hack the device, should I use the downgrade to Froyo option .. I really got confused here. And I will tell you , I do not root or s-off or change recoverys, radios, kernels , roms for first time, I am flash junkie and this thing got me

I understand you mate, but I wanna change my ROM, so if I am gonna do it, I suppose I have to downgrade in order to S-off, root and install recovery . Am I right or its me that doesnt get it ? If you say to leave it with GB, so what option should I use in AAHK ?
The kit never downgrades you froyo. I think this is where you are confused. Downgrade doesn't mean froyo. It just means you will be on a older version.
Here's some info. When HTC released the sense 3.0 update(3.12.405) it patched up things so we cannot get root/soff etc. So the kit downgrades you back to sense 2.1 (2.50.405-this is still GB). Then you rerun to get soff.
You only need the 1 click option.

You have to do nothing but read the manual. Do not use any other RUU to downgrade but the ones included in the Hack Kit. It will detect your OS version and prompt you to downgrade if needed. Gizmoe is right, the Hack Kit does not use FROYO RUU's anymore since the bootloader issue was detected.
Just make sure that you follow all the instructions. If you get stuck visit the IRC channel and we will lend you a hand. :good:
