Yes revolutionnary, there's a lot of tutorials for this, search and found

A few more threads and we are over 9000!!!!!4414!!!

OK, but my phone have HBOOT-06.93.1002 and Revolutionary method supports HTC Desire (bravo) 0.93.0001, 1.02.0001 only....so I can't get BETA KEY and I'm not sure if I can use it at all....
any idea?

When you run the RUU, it will not overwrite the hboot so you will still be s-off. Then just flash recovery and the revolutionary root zip.
Although why would you do all that? Why not just flash an existing rooted 2.3 Rom?
It appears to me that you don't know what you want

Then Go with a custom ROM - Official is a piece of sh*t.
But if you want to go with the official, then flash the HBOOT Downgrader form alpharev.nl then flash official RUU, then use Revolutionary.io to get ROOT and S-OFF - but very soon you will flash a custom ROM

Why bother downgrade to RUU then s-off again when simply flashing the RUU will remain s-off? Pointless

Says who?
10char

I don't like CUSTOM ROMs, I prefer original one....why you say this?
BTW, everything was FINE...very happy with my new OS Gingerbread

Oh so you don't want root? What was this whole thread about? What a waste of everyone's time

are you sure about you did s-off and eng-off?
go into your bootloader and make sure it says "eng s-off" at the top..
Yeah eng s is off. I managed to flash the ROM just not the radio with that error.

You need Radio S-OFF, ENG S-OFF is not enough.

you tried with FASTBOOT COMMANDER tool?
While you solve the problem with the sdk it can help you
edit::::::but IF YOU DON´T HAVE (like Mr_JMM & me said to you) THE S-OFF AND ENG OFF THE PROBLEM IS NOT SDK, IS YOUR DEVICE
I've double checked and it is off. The thing is when I open ask manager the command prompt dialog flashes and nothing happens again. I downloaded the bootloader interface driver. Where can I get the fastboot commander from?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Sorry to labour this point, but what method did you check you have radio s-off?
Also, and again, I apologise for the simplistic question but sometimes it's easy to miss something, have you got the phone in Fastboot screen or HBOOT (Bootloader)?
Hi guys I'm terribly sorry. I didn't realise that eng s and radio s are two different things. My bootloader just says ace pvt s off. I tried the eng s off tool I successfully flashed the radio. I had radio s off due to rooting previously. Thanks for your help guys. And I would like to apologise for the inconvenience. Mods please close this thread.

How to unlock HTC Desire HD?

Hy, is there any 100% way to unlock this phone?
Yes. But you need to meet a certain prerequisite.
i.e,
HTC Firmware <= 2.37
Try this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Read first post and Q&A in the second post, there are links to downgrading your rom and tools for rooting.
Alternatively you can try this AllInOne tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037315.
So this Radio S-OFF tool is for unlocking?

Yes, but only part of unlocking. Not all of it. First you need downgrade, then Radio S-OFF, and finally Eng S-OFF.
Thank you. Is there a tutorials for downgrade?
I have Android version 2.3.3, Basebamd version 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_m and Kernel version 2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod-g99f1050.
Is there a code for simlock check? Like Galaxy Ace.. *#7465625#
I see that my phone is already S-OFF (ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF)
Android version 2.3.3, Basebamd version 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_m and Kernel version 2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod-g99f1050, BUILD GRI40
I tried this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037315
But i dont now how tu use it =) What must i do first?
First i got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

Then this:

Okay, please do check again the steps provided. You may have missed something. Do you have reapplied temp and permroot using visionary? Most people forgot that rooting is required again after flashing stock 1.32. 2nd, check the radio s-off status, cid state, pc software requirement and other stated in the radio s-off guide. Btw, what's your current radio?

hi,
yes of course you can try for remote unlocking method either through the network provider or 3rd parties such as Theunlockarena.com/htc-desire-hd/rs13wp9/ to unlock your HTC desire HD.its simple process.they'll do unlock remotely and after that give you instructions to follow.you just need to do is give your model,network,IMEI number to them that's all..
yes i also followed the same procedure n got everything right.... First radio s - off then Eng off and also the super CID but for some reason i still cant use other networks.... any ideas what i am doing wrong... or any suggestions.. thnx. or any other method of unlocking the sim,,

[Q] Already Rooted, Should I use the HTC unlocker?

My Incredible 2 is rooted, S-Off and running the stock ROM. If I use the HTC Unlocker will I lose or gain anything? I would like to get official OTA updates (which I do not accept now in fear of losing Root) rather than flash them from developers. Will Wireless Tether be affected if I use the HTC unlocker? Will programs like Superuser and Busybox and other Root-dependent programs still work? Will I need to re-Root?
Thanks.
Mike

That would be the case, as when you unlock it, it says **unlocked** at the top. Once relocked, it will say **relocked** showing it was unlocked before.

HTC unlock doesn't give you s-off so no I don't think there would be any benefit. I also read that people are having trouble installing custom roms.

I'd install a custom brain first, as stock one doesn't seem to be working best.

There r much easier methods.
You can safely unplug now as it surely failed, try http://revolutionary.io its way easier & straight forward.
It won't take more than 10min's.

i agree. what hboot r ya? if 0.93 - 1.02 then revolutionary will do it in 5 mins (ish), s-off &rooted.
Sent from my HTC Desire
ended up unplugging battery...mini bricked, booted to bootloader, flashed rom again MW5, a lot of FC's.....ended up with NIKEZ P11, works flawlessy...still 0.80 hboot that's why need AL 1.80 install, will just use cd version...
or is any option to upgrade HBOOT to 0.93?
Use official 2.3 HTC RUU, it will upgrade hboot to 1.02.0001 and you can then use revolutionary.
BTW. What ROM you had installed when you were trying to S-OFF?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
u can get 2.3 upgrade in my sig
Sent from my HTC Desire
i had NIKEZ P11.....hehe
Sigh, you didnt read any guide or instructions didnt you?
It even says on the alpharev webpage:
Requirements:
The only requirement right now is that the ROM you're running is rooted.
As techniques such as 'data2ext' have been popping up, these might disturb our finely-tuned flashing process.
Please revert to a rooted stock ROM if possible. Your /data partition is used for temporary storage of important files.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And that was the reason you got stuck.
You have to use ROM without any A2SD scripts, like stock / cm7.
geeze
so my options are:
HTC Desire 2.3 GB Upgrade From HTCDev
REVOLUTIONARY S-OFF
NEW ROM, NIKEZ P11 back
right?
Ye, and read the revolutionary FAQ first.
