I have s-offed my device in april using old method of alpharev, can I apply the new method (revolutionary) to s-off it again?
Thanks.
If it is S-OFFed, then you can S-OFF it again -.-
Like a car, once it's started, you can't start it again, because it's already started
But if you Unrooted or whatever (and currently you are S-ON), then you can.
Thanks
Actually I unrooted the phone using original RUU then s-offed it again using revolutionary
Anyways thanks a lot

Hi,
Just got my first ever htc phone the htc desire locked on 3 (UK)
I was looking around and I am preparing to root the phone using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
It says however that your device must be hboot 0.93 or lower. I checked and it says my phone is 0.93.0001 is it still okay to use this guide to root it?
Also will rooting my phone unlock it or must the phone be unlocked to root it?
Thanks in advanced and sorry if this is a noob question.
Unrevoked 3 will work.
I have the exact same Hboot version, and I got a custom rom on it.(rooted, s-off, alpharev Hboot)
Hey
How can I root a Wildfire using a Android application (.apk) installed on the phone? I tried Gingerbreak and it reboots the phone, it gets "stuck" on one of the bootscreens; I say "stuck" because it stay on there after 3 minutes or so, I hit the power button and suddenly it gets unstuck but Superuser is NOT installed.
Using unrevoked or similar types of programs is not possible in my scenario. If it was, I would have used that the first time around and be done with this
Thanks for the help
Sadly the only ways I know of are unrevoked (hboot 0.80) or alpharev x beta (hboot 1.01). Just remember you use these tools at your own risk
Just so that you know AlphaRevX=/= Root.
AlphaRevX enables you to root, you still need to root it.

Yes, you can use gingerbread.apk to root you phone, but provided only when your phone is S-OFF either by xtc clip or by alpharevx.
If your hboot is 0.80 with s-on, then use unrevoked to root. Alternatively you can update the hboot to 1.01 and use alpharevx to s-off and then root. The advantage in doing this is having s-off. But read a bit in these forums about that.
And if your hboot is 1.01 with s-on, then only way presently is to make s-off and then root.
[Definitely there should be a need of PC for using unrevoked or alpharevx for a S-ON wildfire. When there is nand security, I think it is not possible to run something (other than HTC updates) from phone itself when it is in hboot/fastboot mode. Correct me if I'm wrong.]

Its a shame I cant do it since I do not have access to the Wildfire and a PC at the same time.
Oh well thanks for the information.
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
I have been trying to get s-off on my desire hd using htcdev website, everything went ok, but bootloader is still saying s-on. Does anyone know what may cause this problem? I am running amdroid 2.3.5, sw number is 3.12.405.1, kernel 2.6.35.10, baseband 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M. Device was already rooted by HTC Quick Root /w universal exploit
Thanks in advance
Htcdev will not get you S-Off. It will only unlock your bootloader, but it will still be S-On. You need AAHK for S-Off.
I can't get off either. Oh, that's s-off. Missed that.
Sent from the short bus
Relocked the bootloader and run aahk.
Read intensely on http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?cat=6
relocked bootloader and used aahk, thanks guys
Hello everyone, i just got an old HTC Wildfire from my aunt and decided to root it and make it a useful secondary phone... the problem i ran into is the fact that it has HBOOT 0.80.0002.
I cant seem to figure out how to root it. I tried the full guide to rooting and de-branding but i got stuck first i tried to just use revolutionary, but that only supports hboot 1.01.0001 or something like that and then i tried to downgrade it (what u are supposed to do for 1.2.0002 hboot) but that didnt work either since i got stuck trying to create a goldcard image. Well i actually got the goldcard (found a functioning website online put in my CID and got the gold card, but the prtoblem was that i couldnt patch the mmc)
So anyone got any help for me? or a tip what tutorial i could try.
Phone info:
HTC Buzz (wildfire)
Hboot 0.80.0002
Radio 3.35.19.25
S-on
Firmware 2.1-update 1
Thanks for the help

If you run the unrevoked program it will root your phone with your current hboot. You could also consider working out your phones cid, (not the one from your goldcard) And then you could look for the correct update ruu. Upgrade to hboot 1.01.0001 and then use revolutionary and gain full s-off

Ok, unrewoked worked the second time around tried it before i posted here, but it stopped at pushing recovery image... i guess it must have been HTC sync (yeah forgot i had that instaled on this pc) when i uninstalled it as the software told me to it worked just fine. Rooted with CWM thanks for the help
Ok guys, is this even possible? I used Unrevoked and it worked nicely and got my phone rooted (super user) and CWM installed... but i still have S-ON... am i missing something here? should i flash something to get S-OFF or what? really confused right now...
Thanks.

Unrevoked never removed s-on, it used a root exploit to gain superuser access, install superuser and then flash a custom recovery. Revolutionary, which is a conjunction of team unrevoked and alpharev was the next step, after the upgrade to hboot 1.xx.xxxx unrevoked exploit no longer worked, so they found another I believe and forced a hacked bootloader into the phone, making it believe it was s-off even though the radio flag was still set to on confusing I know
so revolutionary s-off is from a patched hboot, and the xtc clip gives full radio s-off. The only real difference is that with xtc clip s-off you can remove SIM lock, but with the patched hboot you cannot, as the radio which houses the security (for all intents and purposes) is still set to on. The patched hboot just tells the hboot to ignore what the radio says and believe it is s-off all the time.
But before I ramble on you should be good to go with your hboot, but you may need to upgrade your recovery, in order to do this I believe you will need root and to flash the recovery by using a script called flash. I'll look Into it for you or, you could try the clockworkmod recovery app to flash the new recovery, you want 5.0.2.0 preferably
