[Q] S- on and S-off - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDA peeps so i got my phone back from sprint it got fix up long story short I was ready to put back revolutionary back on my phone from some same strange reason my backup root is not working none what so ever also i am still kind of rooted with S-on my bootloader is still unlock now when i try to run the files it ask what am i doing i am already rooted long story short i am fully rooted with S-on but i want it back to S-off but every time i put the pc36img file it want update any suggestions. And yes i did remove revolutionary from my phone because i had to let sprint look at it.

I would try running revolutuonary and that will give you s-off.

Try running the RUU on it and then rerooting.

That's the only way you are going to fix it. You likely have the 6.17 HBoot (a modified 2.16 HBoot), which thinks it is still the 2.16 Hboot that you set S-OFF. Find and run a 4.53 RUU in order to downgrade the HBoot back to 2.16, then reroot using Revolutionary.

okay i will i hope i can find 4.53 RUU

Hey i was able to find root I am back to regular stock mode in the morning i would and am going back to ROOT. thanks

Again if you were already rooted with S-off , and you say you did a factory reset , what exactly did you do to "factory reset"?????? In your first post you said you had perm root before, so this means you would have had S-off, meaning in order to get S-on you would have had to unroot your phone. How did you root your phone the first time??? What did you do to unroot your phone now???????? Doing a factory reset would not unroot your phone. So my guess is you never rooted the first time. So that means you must be doing something wrong in the rooting process, as far as I know your version is rootable, what methods have you tried and exactly what steps have you done in the processes.
I wonder if the 1.74 RUU worked at least enough to change the phone back to S-ON, and as has been discussed the 1.74 stuff can't be rooted using normal methods.
I might suggest this for help:

[Q] S-ON for my Desire?

Hi all, so the US Cellular RUU is out and that is cool. I have a broken Desire that I would like to get fixed under warranty. I flashed the RUU and it un-rooted my phone but the bootloader still shows that the security flag is off (S-OFF). Is there a way to set S-ON? I rooted and set S-OFF via unrevoked. On their page is has said that S-ON is coming soon - but it has said that for a long time. I also have another working Desire so I can get anything off of that if needed.
Thanks,
Pete
I am technically inclined so I will try pretty much anything to get this thing setup with the security flag on again.
A way to contact the unrevoked team?
Anyone know how to contact team unrevoked? I am just wondering how soon the 'coming soon' is for S-ON for the CDMA Deisre. Thanks in advance..
I just attempted to set s-on for my CDMA Desire with the unrevoked-forever-son.zip. It errored out with an incorrect radio message. Is there a way to set s-on for my BravoC Desire? Wondering if there is a radio I can use?
Don't think you can get S-ON again at the moment, you can go back to stock ROM-wise with the new RUU

This is exactly correct - I flashed the Alltel RUU that downgraded my radio to a version that unrevoked-forever-son.zip is compatible with. I attempted to run the update from within recovery and it gracefully told me my device was not supported. So I am on to waiting for unrevoked to add s-on support for the CDMA Desire.
I'm waiting for S-ON too. S-OFF broke my MMS (maybe s-on will fix it) but I need to take it back to bluegrass.

Sending back phone and can't get back to S-ON Help!

I recently got a replacement INC2 because of this phone is beatup and I need to send it back to Verizon for the warranty. I used RUU to unroot my phone and everything was stock then I just noticed that it's still S-OFF in the HBOOT screen.. The phone is deactivated, I can;t turn it back on to root again and get rid off S-OFF. Is there any ZIP files like PB31IMG that I can use to reverse it back to S-ON??

Why can't you root it? You are S-Off. Just flash a recovery, flash unRevoked's S-on script, and then reuse the RUU
Edit: read the op wrong.
Listen to what he said above me. You don't need service to root or set back to s-on.

[Q] Cannot (re)root Wildfire after reverting to S-ON and Stock Rom

I have a Wildfire that I S-OFF'ed and rooted a while back. It originally had 3 UK firmware, although the phone was unlocked for all providers.
I remember having to downgrade the hboot to 1.01.0001 to get revolutionary to work. Unfortunately I cannot remember the exact steps I took to S-OFF and Root it, but they weren't anything out of the ordinary. I recently had to S-ON the phone and reflash the original firmware as I thought I'd have to return the phone to the shop.
Now, I'm trying to redo the whole process again, I want S-OFF and Root but I'm not having any luck. Currently, the phone is:
Hboot 1.01.001
Firmware 2.1-update1
Baseband 13.45.55.24H_3.35.15.31
Software V.1.37.405.1
Revolutionary won't do it, Unrevoked won't either. I've tried to both upgrade and downgrade the roms with RUU exe's but its unsuccessful. I've used both Windows and Linux so it's definitely not a driver issue; the phones are recognised. I can flash ClockWorkRecovery, but am getting a failed NAND flash error at times.
I'm sure I'm missing something as it was a real breeze last time. I'm really frustrated, especially as I'm lumbered with this crap firmware. I want my CyanogenMod back!!!!
Something that caught my eye was the firmware version: "2.1-update1". Is this the same as 2.1?

You can give my guide a go, it's in my sig. I've included very detailed steps.
Edit - I have managed to gain s-off once again, make sure to use the latest ruu
problems I had where revolutionary failed at zerging cmd
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035 the buzzdowngrade pack from here did not s-off
I ended up restoring from a different ruu instead of the tesco rom, from where the phone was from
RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed
Then revolutionary worked perfectly.

Setting S-ON with AAHK

Hi!
I have a rooted HTC DHD and I want to put back to S-ON for waranty reasons. I have a certain RUU that I want to flash when returning to stock. I have extracted the rom.zip out of the RUU.exe. How can flash this rom via AAHK when setting S-ON
Thanks for advance !
I think there is a return to stock option within AAHK, not too sure where though..
When you fall, don't expect anyone to help. Expect the floor
Start the hack kit and press i think o. Anyway AAHK comes with a ruu which it uses when restoring to S-ON.
