Try revolutionary ! It will S-Off your phone and install the revolutionary recovery. From then on you can flash other hboots or recovery's
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
revolutionary is not working with hboot 1.03 (1.02 and lower)
I think the only way is downgrade(if possible, don't know the way) and get root/s-off on lower hboot

Is it possible to downgrade without being s-off ? I am having doubts about that ? I am also still learning ;-)

Checked the STICKIE on troubles with hboot and s-off your phone. I just read there that you might flash a RUU that will get you to another bootloader.....

There is your problem. HTC official method doesn't give you the same freedom unofficial methods do. As far as I know there is no turn back yet, so bad luck for you, inform yourself better next time. htcdev gives you root but leaves hboot locked.
from HTC site:
htc said:
Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

You can't change your bootloader because you are S-ON and you can't get S-OFF because methods to get S-OFF are based on original bootloaders, by installing HTC's new bootloader you have locked you out of getting S-OFF. HTC does only give you access to boot, recovery and system, is not full S-OFF and that includes a locked bootloader.
yeah you basically screwed yourself by using the official method. Ironic isnt it?
via xda app
Not sure why all the peripheral discussion around here makes it sound as if he's bricked his phone.
OP, I understand you've "successfully" unlocked the bootloader and want to flash cwmr. In that case, the solution is to download a .img image of cwmr, and flash it using the fastboot program:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or use any of the GUI tools for fastboot.
For all practical purposes, unlocked bootloader ought to be enough for you.
ok problem sovled
This method i have folow with some changes.
1) Unlock phone via HTC official process (registration required)
You are now unlocked S-ON but have no root access on the existing rom, however by doing it the official way you dont need to flash the radio anyway. I used the following steps to get CM7 installed on mine.
2) Downloaded ClockworkMod Recovery 5 (GSM not CDMA)
download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img
(i have download instead dl.dropbox.com/u/4518713/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-bravo.zip this from this topic)
(sorry - forum wont let me post urls yet)
3) reboot phone into fastboot
and plug in the usb
4) In the environment you set up for the HTC unlock process enter
(this means put the *.img file you downloaded in this file: C:/Android (with adb, fastboot)
open cmd, type:
"cd c:\Android"
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img" OR "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-bravo.img"
5)unplug the usb cable from your phone.
select bootloader press power to select
wait 20 sec
select recovery press power to select
if the flash was successful you will se the ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 OR 5.0.2.7
6) To navigate into ClockWorkMod Recovery
Use trackpad, not power to select
Yes, that's the age old method of flashing via hboot. Nothing new about it.
Android flasher can also be used to flash recovery right? And isn't it much easier?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
yes, for newbies. For us, we could probably finish flashing by the time you load it.

Yeah Android Flasher is a useful tool as I use it myself but I still believe that the manual way of doing it using command is the best way to go specially if you are having issues.

Any chance to do that? I`m stuck in custom rom and no chance to flash any of stock ROM`s because of hoot version... Same thing with fastboot.. No chance to flash hoot .nb0 from fast boot.. Thanks in advance
Have you tried using revolutionary?
Or the HTCdev Unlock Tool?
Yes, revolutionary does not support this version of hoot...
And boot loader is unlocked by htcdev site, but that is a problem now for me..
Do you have clockworkmod recovery?
Yes, CWM flashed from fastboot? Is there a way to flash hboot from CWM or..?
What happens when you try flashing a rom from CWM or wiping?
Signature error if i try rom with hboot.img in .zip... I only could flash a rom without hboot.. But my aim is to downgrade hboot...
You can't just flash any .zip file randomly. Especially if it's something as sensitive as the bootloader.
And try flashing a rom in CWM, you might not need to downgrade.
Naturally, I understand that and I understand well how should i have flash.. When i wrote zip rom without hboot i meant Buzz_Froyo_hTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_SAFE_FLASH_ZIP...
I want to downgrade hboot version to be able to use revolutionary instead of htcdev unlocked boot loader, understand me? Mentioned Froyo ROM does`t have hboot image in archive, and that`s why is safe...
I'm not sure if the HTCDev bootloader can even be unlocked.
But don't take my word for it...
I just hope you're wrong.. I hope that team mate from revolutionary have some idea in the future days...
Actualy, after looking at the RUU you were trying to flash. It's "safe". You could try using a "non-safe" one.

Are you trying to flash an ruu Rom.zip from recovery?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
@nejc121
Give me the link of "non-safe" to try?
@Scratch0805
Yes, i tried just that, but with no luck...
It can't be done like that, I think the images need unpacking first, if you look inside a custom Rom and compare it to your Rom.zip you'll see the difference.
I don't think you can use PC49IMG after unlocking with HTC dev either so your only option is fastboot and after I read the warning about not going back after using the tool it wouldn't surprise me if they locked it so it can't be flashed with fastboot either.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Every section of Stock ROM i could flash with fastboot, except hboot which is my highest goal... You are right, i can`t use PC49IMG.zip anymore...

Please help me to get S-OFF on my buzz with hboot 1.02.0000 UNLOCKED (Unlocked by HTC DEV SITE guide)
I've got CWM on my wildfire, and used gingerbreak to get superuser privileges, but CWM recovery mode doesen't work anyway, when i try to boot my buzz in CWM Recovery Mode, appears a RED Triangle with an "!" and I can't do anything but if i press Vol UP and Power Button, appears a menu with:
- reboot
- update with update.zip
- wipe cache
- wipe data factory/cache
I've tried all of these options, but it doesen't work.
I've tried with revolutionary, but it doesen't work, when i start the .exe file, it says
"buzz, with hboot 1.02.0000 is not supported at this time"
I think my issue is because of I didn't get S-OFF on Hboot 1.02.0000 .

when the bootloader is unlocked using the HTCdev method ,there is no s-off required.. BTW try flashing the cwm recovery again using the fastboot method becoz the options you mentioned seem incomplete..maybe after doing this you may get "install zip from sd" option in cwm recovery so that you can flash custom roms..
Alternative: You can rename the custom rom to update.zip and put directly on sd (not in any folder) and choose "update with update.zip" option which you already have in cwm recovery.

I'm trying to root my girlfriend's T-mobile HTC Wildfire S properly like I did with my HTC Sensation. Switching views from Sensation forums, Wildfire S is very hectic and chaotic. There are not any clear and organized post that list the steps.
Questions:
1.) Is it possible to root, s-off, and unlocked bootloader for T-mobile US HTC Wildfire S?
2.) I read many post where you can s-off the phone but bootloader remained locked and vice versa. Why can you s-off with one method and then unlock bootloader with another?
3.) Just to make sure. If the phone is unlocked with bootloader but S-on, can we start flashing custom ROMs? What about if the phone is S-off and bootloader is locked, can we flash custom ROMs then?
Thank you in advance, any help will be very considerate!
YES in both cases
S-on + bootloader unlocked, you can flash custom roms.
S-off + bootloader locked, you can flash custom roms.
In both cases you need custom recovery, clockwork mod etc.

Great! Can you actually guide me =D
Do you prefer me to Unlock bootloader before s-off or vice versa? Can you tell me what you did? It'll help soooo much. In addition, do 4ext Recovery work?
Once s-off, download clockwork recovery from alquez thread in development section.
Place the file PG76IMG.zip in the root of your SD.
Power off your phone, pull battery, replace battery, hold volume down + power to enter hboot,
Wait for file to be found and it will ask if you wanna update, click yes (volume up I think) then reboot your phone.
Note: you will need to delete the custom recovery file or move it from the root of your SD.
Now download root.zip just search within the wildfire s forums and you'll find it.
Note 2: once rooted you could install rom manager and install official clockwork recovery.

Where would unlocking bootloader fit in to this? What method did you use to s-off?
If your s-off no need to unlock the boot loader as the security is turned off.
If you haven't achieved s-off then unlocking the boot loader will allow you to flash roms and/or custom recovery, but you will not be able to upgrade radio or hboot.
I gained s-off with an xtc clip.

You can unlock your bootloader by following the appropriate steps at htcdev.com/bootloader

Alright, to make this clear. You can't have both is the bottom-line. BUT, it is possible with an XTC-Clip.
Questions:
1.) So if I choose to s-off, what benefits do I loose from NOT unlocking bootloader? Vice versa.
2.) Do you prefer to have the phone with an unlocked bootloader or s-off? Since I can't have both.
OK there is currently no software to give full s-off. Full s-off allows to flash to the full nand including radio images and different hboots.
Htcdev unlocked boot loader is software done, and has fastboot commands enabled. But can not write to all of the nand, meaning it won't flash radios and downgraded hboots.
You can have both, but you need to get a xtc clip. S-off, then upgrade to the htcdev hboot. Then use simonsimons bootloader unlock tool from the Dev section to enable fastboot commands without HTC knowing, thus keeping warrenty. But, if you only intend to do custom roms a htcdev unlocked boot loader will suffice.

STEPS TO UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER and ROOTING for T-mobile HTC Wildfire S:
1.) Follow this to unlock bootloader [TUTORIAL][S-ON] Unlock Bootloader using HTCDEV.com
*** I also found this youtube video which seems to have all the steps (HD) How to Root the HTC Wildfire S (GSM) - Cursed4Eva***
2.) I want to follow this link but it says if I have to be s-off [TUTORIAL][ROOT] How to root your HTC Wildfire S?
In addition, I see a lot of custom ROMs saying you must be s-off in order to flash. What if I am s-on with unlocked bootloader?
Well, I personally have never done this. But the logic is sound firstly upgrade to the htcdev hboot but stop before it comes to unlocking it. Then go to the dev section and look for simonsimons bootloader unlock tool. Use that to unlock the bootloader and keep warrenty then again to the dev section and flash the alquez (hope that's spelled right ) recovery! Then finally get the fashable superuser zip file for gb and flash it from recovery. You now have root
As far as custom roms are concerned most will go on an unlocked bootloader, as that is what most people have here. But is a rom states that it really needs s-off or a different radio you may have some issues
Good luck buddy. If you need links let me know

Hey guys,
I did a research on the web but I didn't succeed to find the answer, so here I am.
So recently I've bought my HTC Desire HD and it turns out to have S-OFF (as it shows on HBoot) but no root and a stock Rom. Here's the information:
Software number: 3.12.405.1
Kernel number: 2.6.35.10
Android version: 2.3.5
Sense: 3.0
So my question is: In Advanced Ace Hack Kit post I saw that it is not recommended to root the phone with provided software in case I already have S-OFF, but as I googled how to get my S-ON back I didn't manage to find anything useful. Should I continue with the kit then, or do you have any ideas how to get S-ON back again?

If you are already S-OFF there is no need to use the Hack Kit. If you want to flash a custom rom just flash a custom recovery and then the custom rom. If you just want root access then just flash Superuser from CWM from here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
You will find answers and how to's in the guide in my signature. Hope it helps...:good:
Thanks for such fast reply! Unfortunately, I can't get to flash a custom recovery... By following some instructions, after writing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" using ADB, I get this error:
FAILED(remote: not allowed)
Now, is it possible that my S-OFF actually does not exist, even though that HBOOT says different? If so, what should I do? Or is that a different problem?
Thanks in advance,
Rugile.
Try
adb devices
If it doesn't show then perhaps you need to install the htc sync/drivers. Go to glevitans signature. You'll find everything you need there.

You have to be in fastboot usb in order to flash a Custom recovery. It won´t work from hboot usb Plug. Choose Fastboot (by pressing power button) and when you see fastboot usb in red in the phone try flashing it again.
when you are in fastboot, type fastboot devices in the cmd session (opened as admin) if you get a blank list of attached devices then is a drivers issue. Unplug the phone, uninstall all the HTC stuff and re install the htc drivers from the Hack Kit folder (tools>windrivers)
You guys missed a key sign. Remote not allowed. That's a sign that he doesn't have an eng hboot or the modified one from the hack kit.
So op you have a few options
Flash super user and binary then use from manager or 4ext to flash a recovery.
Flash a recovery via a pd98.
Use hack kit optional menu to get modified hboot then flash manually as you tried
Use hack kit optional menu to flash cwr

Yes, you are right..but he woud not be able to flash the .img file (fastboot flash recovery xx.img) but he should be able to flash the .zip file using the RUU flash method (fastboot oem rebootRUU - fastboot flash zip CWM.zip - fastboot reboot-bootloader). At least that is the way how it is detailed in the guide in my signature. :good:
Thank you for your answers!
So yesterday I found out that there's such thing as fake S-OFF, so I tried some method I found on XDA-DEVELOPERS to receive a real one, but then it turned out I needed a downgrade... I didn't succeed in that, so today, as you suggested, I'm going to try gain S-OFF with Ace Hack Kit.
I'll let you know what happens, in case anyone else faces such problem too.
Cheers,
Rugile
Woah woah woah. You need to stop right there. Do not run the root soff option on your phone from the hack kit.
Your making it more complicated than it actually is. Glevitan and I have given you all the options you need to.
*she
OK, so now I used the Advanced Ace Hack Kit to gain ENG HBOOT and it worked! So then I flashed a custom recovery, and, how surprizing, it worked too! Next, I booted into recovery in order to flash Superuser, and it also succeeded!
BTW, the CWM flashing menu is very confusing, I didn't even get to find the YES option at first
Thank you for your help alot, guys! I finally defeated my phone, even though it resisted very hard!

You can only temp root I believe
Have a look at bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to top of Q&A, step [11]
It might work, never tried it. You won't have full unlcocked bootloader (S-OFF) though, which is much more useful overall.
Best to get you USB port fixed.
I tried soldering a New micro USB which failed so you can instead buy the main board which has the micro USB with it, but if ur not into fixing it yourself just give to a phone shop.

Thank you.
I see "step [11]", so I tried it.
After TEMPROOT NOW, I download superuser. But... Binary update is failed.
In addition, I Download ROM Manger, and select "flash recovery". then installed. But... When I reboot into recovery mode, no flashing Clockwork recovery. Unchanged from HTC Recovery...
I think it's s-on...
What's the problem? I want to hear your ideas.
* Sorry;; It isn't solve -> It hadn't solve.

Maybe it is possible to flash your phone by making a goldcard and by flashing a recovery using a PB99IMG.zip from your bootloader.You could also upgrade your firmware with this way.
But I have a question.How do you charge that phone?!!Do you have some external Charging Dock Cradle?

U dont need s-off for recovery PB99IMG but yes u need unlocked bootloader for it. If u were to flash lets say radio.img PB99IMG method then u do need s-off.

I use the phone charger. I charge the battery by plugging the charger directly.. and I have an extra battery.
So.... You say that you can root using the golden card?

It is possible you be able to flash a custom recovery using a goldcard (I am not sure about that).But as the jmcclue says you probably have to be at least htc_dev unlocked to be able to flash a PB99IMG.zip from your bootloader.
With a goldcard you would be able to flash something without signature verification even with S-ON.You could also downgrade if you would like too.
If you can't find anything an idea is if you could S-OFF your phone.Then you could flash anything.You could temproot and you try an S-OFF way (with gfree for example).You may have to use a custom kernel to be able to use it (I am not sure about that).But as I can see you have a froyo firmware.So may gfree works for you even without custom kernel.

I found something that may be really helpful for you.
Check this out (go to "ROOT WITHOUT USB CONNECTION")
I don't know if it can flash a recovery when you are S-ON.(If you achieve this you should be able only to flash a recovery and after that to root your device with a flashable zip.It will not S-OFF your device)
You can also check this guide out how to S-OFF without adb:
[GUIDE] Permanent Root with Visionary/gfree (No ADB Required)
** If you want to flash an ENG (engineering) bootloader you can download one from here.Do not use the hboot-eng.img or hboot-eng.img you can find inside those tools.Those tools has eng hboots for Desire Z **
Thank you.

thank you. Once, i already tried "ROOT without USB connection". but.. I failed. because... I think it is due to S-ON.(Now S-ON state.)
But... I'll try the second method. Thanks for the tip.
--add--
Oh.. It is a way for the G2 and Desire Z.
Umm.. So what should I do in order to fit the Desire(Bravo)?
Hboot-emg.img and Hboot-emg-z.img found in the zip file.(I think the hboot file for G2 and Desire Z.)
So... you mean to replace it with Bravo HBOOT Desire?(ex. bravo_alphaspl.img(Bravo stock),...atc.)
I do not know what to do;;

I don't really suggest you to use flash_hboot or flash_hboot_z scripts because I am not sure what is the hboot partition for HTC desire (bravo).Those scripts are using mmcblk0p18 partition to install the eng hboot by using dd command.(Anyway it is not necessary to install an eng hboot.)
The only thing you need after the S-OFF procedure (with gfree) is to flash a PB99IMG.zip with a custom recovery from your bootloader in order you be able to flash a Superuser or SuperSU zip to root your Rom.
Also you shouldn't even try to install the Hboot-eng.img or Hboot-eng_z.img you will find inside this zip becauce they are definitly for desire z.
If you want to install an eng hboot for bravo you could download one (from alpharev for example) and until you have succeeded S-OFF with the above procedure you can flash it by using a PB99IMG.zip from your bootloader.(You can see the process in alpharev's website.)
If you like to use an eng hboot I think bravo_alphaspl.img (Bravo stock) would be a nice choice. But in my opinion I would prefer the (Bravo N1Table) because you will have more cache memory and a bigger data partition. If you use a lite Rom it should work nice.
Well.;;

When u s off u can flash a recovery using the PB99IMG.ZIP method so then you will have a recovery to flash supersu which makes your phone rooted and then u need a custom rom.

Hello!
Some time ago, in 2011 or so, I followed a tutorial and managed to root my HTC Desire Bravo A8181. In fact, I just rooted it and somehow it's still S-ON.
Now the thing is that I want to flash a new recovery ( 5.x.x.x) instead of my 2.5.x.x . I can't find the exact tutorial for this because my phone is not unrooted.
If someone could help me and point me through the exact steps in doing this operation, I'd be grateful. Thank you!

Rooting and S-ON / S-OFF are separate. Rooting is just to do with root access, I assume you used unrevoked for this. S-OFF is fully unlocking the bootloader, and is much more powerful overall.
To flash a different recovery you need to be S-OFF first. Search and user 'revolutionary' for this
Instructions to actually flash the recovery are in that thread linked above.
Whilst it's useful to change to a recent recovery, the main benefit of S-OFF is actually to change hboot so you can increase the Desire's actual internal memory.
Thank you!
So, if I switch to TWRP do I need to S-OFF? I saw I could flash it just like a ROM, from the actual Recovery.
When I try to S-OFF with revolutionary, it seems it won't get past 'Waiting for device...' even though I installed USB Drivers.
Of course I am sure that USB Debugging was enabled.

Were you in fastboot when running revolutionary? If your bootloader is unlocked then u need to flash it via fastboot but if it is s off I think you can do from recovery or the PB99IMG.zip method.
