[Q] Rerooting with Unrevoked 3.22

I already have a rooted htc desire running stock 2.2 rom s-on. Is it ok to use unrevoked 3.22 and reroot to gain permanent unlocked NAND flash?

There is no problem with trying Unrevoked again, esp if you're S-ON and want to change the Recovery. But why? For S-OFF, you should run Alpharev. But you probably know this already.

I really dont have any idea what is Alpharev,I got the phone already rooted from a friend. He says he had never tried installing a custom rom and I notice its S-on but thanks for the advice.

Btw, i just want to make sure if it is ok not to unroot and just simply overite with unrevoked?

Ran Unrevoked S-On, still showing s-off

Hi, I need to return my evo but I have s-off using unrevoked forever. I ran the latest s-0n tool through recovery (latest Clockwork) and it appears that everything went ok when looking at the log as the s-on ran. But now when I verify it still says S-off. Can anyone assist?

I did, I downloaded the latest s-on tool

See if THIS helps...

Thanks for the link. Ran the s-on about 20 times and still s-off. Guess I'm bringing it in s-0ff and chancing it. Hopfully they don't need to replace and can just fix my power button without ever needing to see the s-off

damn you even flashed the pc36img in bootloader and you still cant get s-on? huh... Hopefully it all works out for ya! Goodluck man

You need to run the ruu after flashing s on zip

Instructions said s-on first then the other zip so i didn't want to run the other one until it said s-on. Thanks guys

Yup, s on first. I'm not sure why its not taking. Maybe download it again, and possibly use a different recovery to try flashing it? Try using rom manager to flash Among RA, then try again.

I'm not sure, but I think after running s-ON and then the RUU, it'll show up as S-On.
I know it did when I ran RUU last week, after running the S-On tool, but tbh, I didn't check before running the RUU.

You do want to be sure that the s on tool works. The RUU wont turn s on if you've used unrevoked forever. You'll end up stock, s off, and no recovery to flash the s on tool.

Exactly what I was thinking so I got a zip of my recovery from the unrevoked site to run from hboot since I still had s-off which would allow me to run the zip just incase. I would be able to get a recovery again if running the stock image didn't help.
Anyway, I ran the PC36IMG image with S-off and noticed that when going though the install the HBOOT section installed, installation stopped then just went back to HBOOT where it inspected the PC36IMG again. Noticed right when that happened that it was back to S-ON. Current HBOOT is 93, not sure if it was different before and needed to be on 93.

If your hboot is version .76 it is s-off by default. No need to use unrevoked for anything.

[G] having trouble getting s-on

i have tried every method i can find to get s-on after root with revolutionary. i have flashed the s-on zip and all it does is get rid of the red bar that says "revolutionary". it still say s-off. ive done it from a custom rom and a stock rom. done it through flashing and done it buy naming the zip pc36img it installs successfully but still shows s-off. any help is appreciated

#1. The s-on is NOT 4 revolutionary. Search for how 2 unroot revolutionaty root. Its the thread with a whole bunch of ??? at the end of the title. That should lead u toward the light.

Downgrade your radio and use the unrevoked method to go s-on..

Depends on what radio version he/she has. If I'm not mistaken the recent radio updates dont allow you to downgrade.

just flashed that hboot file, didnt do anything
my hboot version is 6.17

[q] HBOOT .98 s-OFF???

I looked for hours and tried many different things...
My friend has the HTC Desire, CDMA version (cspire/cellsouth version, but i think its the same hardware as the US Cellular device) with h-boot .98
i was trying to gain s-OFF but all methods were either for .93 or 1.06 and i dont know how to get there. do i need to flash new firmware before i can do ROMs?
he is fully rooted, but only on android 2.1 and he wants gingerbread sense...
any help would be much appreciated!
PLEASE

Revolutionary.io supports the HBOOT 1.06 for cdma, but it should the 0.98 as well.
If not, flash the latest firmware, then do the revolutionary procedure .

or you can just use unrevoked, it roots and S-OFF's the CDMA Desire.

if you have rooted using alpharev, then you need to downgrade the hboot using hboot downgrader from alpharev.nl, then run the respective RUU.

I could use some help with a similar issue, too!
Had everything fine, S-OFF, rooted, Cm7
Mistakenly formated my /system in clockwork recovery
Now I have .98 HBOOT but w/ S-OFF
can install ROMS and boot CM7
I have superuser installed
but no root!
What can I do to gain root back?

[Q] Hboot issues

Hello I've been on this forum for quite a while, but never really posted anything. Right now I'm struggling with my EVO4g because it's having issues updating the PC36IMG.zip in hboot AND it says it is S-on when other programs such as revolutionary's root program. I'll explain everything I did and provide as much information in return for some help. Also I have googled this issue and no place seems to have a solution to the issues on my EVO.
What went down:
-Decided I want to unroot my phone and start from scratch
-Tried unrooting using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141
-Says i have S-on and Hboot 6.17
-Tried rooting with revolutionary, but says I have s-off already enabled. HBoot says S-on though so this is where i get confused
-Tried going into recovery but just get the update picture and then the red triangle over the phone
-Try flashing RA recovery PC36IMG.zip through Hboot but never asks to update when it scans the img
My questions are Why is it saying I have s-on when revolutionary is saying I have s-off and how do I fix this? Why does my Hboot refuse to update through a PC36IMG.zip and how do i fix this?

This is because of your hboot 6.16. That's the hboot that revolutionary gives you after you s-off so it thinks your s-off already. What you have to do is run the ruu again and it will revert your hboot back to 2.16 so you can rerun revolutionary
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Also the reasons the PC36IMG.zip you tried to flash do not work is because your s-on the ONLY thing that will flash in the bootloader is something signed by HTC so trying to flash a recovery ect do not work. Only things signed by HTC are ruus

Okay but I dont remember where I downloaded the RUU previously. I dont have it on my computer because my hard drive crashed. I remember I was on a page somewhere that had all of the stock ROMs but i dont remember where

Here, try this. I was having this same issue and got it fixed. After I ran this RUU there was one more update, but BE CAREFUL. Don't accept the latest update from HTC/Sprint because it changes and locks your HBOOT and there's no way to root it yet. Hope this helps. I ran the ruu, let it do it's thing, accepted one update tht still had HBOOT 2.16, then rooted my phone like normal. Funny thing is, I didn't understand what ANY of this meant just a few days ago, but after 8 hours of reading and scratching my head.. it hit me and it's all pretty simple.
