How do I get Nand unlock ?

How can I get Nand unlock & what exactly does it do or authorize me to do ?
Rooted HTC Evo via UnrEVOked 3 using stock 2.2 Froyo Rom .
Will this let me remove stock apps ?
Will it wipe out my data ?

When you hit Volume Down and power and load into the bootloader (white screen, androids on skateboards on the bottom), does it say S-On or S-Off at the top?

Says s is on .
Is it unlocked ? If what's the best way to unlock it & how do I back up properly ?

Download unrevoked forever and flash that.

So you're not fully unlocked. Question, on the same screen what set of numbers appears after Hboot (because if you have a newer Hboot version your rooting process will be much more difficult)?

I'm gonna have to check that .
I rooted my phone with UnrEVOked 3 about 3 - 4weeks ago .
I will check it & post the numbers .
Thx again ;-)

Thats a good HBOOT. That is an ENG HBOOT. whatever you do, make sure you keep that. But, if you are S-ON, then you are not fully unlocked... even IF you are rooted. SO....
Install unrevoked FOREVER. Once you have that on there, you should be forever unlocked. There is Unrevoked, and there is Unrevoked Forever. The first one just gives you root once. The second one will unlock you forever. But you have to have root initially to do the second. Once you do the second, you can always re-root even when you lose root.
As for removals, the best app out there (IMO) is called System App Remover. But you need to be rooted first before you install and run it.

Will root via forever wipe out everything ?
Sent From My Rooted HTC Evo 4G using XDA App.

And what's the best way to unlock it ? Do I need to use UnrEVOked forever or I can do it another way ? And again will it wipe out everything ?

If you go to unrevoked website and choose the evo and then go into unrevoked forever and look for the link to the unrevoked-forever zip in the installation instructions, second thing it tells you need. Download and put on sd. Flash by going into recovery and flashing from sd card.
It wont wipe anything. It just turns s-off and unlocks the phone fully.
If your not sure how to flash from recovery or dont have a recovery yet hit me up.

[Q] Possible Brick, any help appreciated

Hi
Another stupid noob has bricked his phone.
My situation. Whilst trying to unroot and restore to original state for warranty purposes (earpiece speaker has died)
I have a Desire Z that will boot either into hboot and clockwork recovery but wont boot past HTC screen when I install or restore a backup.
I presume this is because the wrong hboot, radio etc is now installed with S-ON.
I have been trying to do this but get stuck because I have no access to terminal
This
Anyone with some ideas?
Cheers in advance
UPDATE:
Now boots directly into Clockwork recovery but wont boot passed.

Can you tell us what your hboot says.

Did you use gfree method?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z/G2 Using XDA Premium App

Yes I used Gfree originally.
I am trying to flash a PC10IMG.zip via the bootloader but it no loner seems to want to see the file on my sdcard. It did before, which is how I got into this mess in the first place.
I am trying to flash the correct one back over which has a more recent Hboot, radio etc I think.

I wonder why... So it still not reading it? Also does ADB read your phone? I don't know if ADB would work though because you don't have the ent-hboot. It seems like even so you have S-on your still rooted since you can still go to clockwork?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z/G2 Using XDA Premium App

yeah thats whats getting me. I can use adb when booted into the recovery but I am struggling to get anything to work.
Any thoughts on how to proceed, if any?

well my only idea is to try to see if you can flash through ADB
Sent from my HTC Desire Z/G2 Using XDA Premium App

Try looking for a DZ RUU that is specific to your carrier. If you can't find one, you could make a goldcard and install a WWE RUU (see if you're still super CID first).

Format your sdcard and try to unroot your phone again. )

thanks for the replies, got it back up running sort of, got a t-mobile rom installed but still need to flash the correct hboot, recovery and rom for that matter

UnrEVOked woes

Okay here is the situation. I'm trying to root a HTC Desire using unrevoked on my laptop that I've used to successfully rooted another desire in the past. It get so far into the sequence then it says "error getting root, is your software too new"
The phone is a 'new' generic replacement from t-mobile but is showing as being s-off even though it hasn't been touched!?!?
Can any please give me advice on what to try next?

Try flashing a recovery via fastboot.
If it works you should be s-off. Was it s-off before you touched it?

I can see this thread may get a lot of views if your phone came from the factory s-off
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

I had this problem trying to change the recovery program from clockwork to RA 2.0on my rooted desire. I was using unrevoke to flash the RA 2.0 recovery image file. I had to roll back from 2.3.3 to 2.2 and do a factory reset. As you are on 2.2 all you can try is the reset option.
Being already rooted wasn't the problem and if you Google your error message will find known issues with unrevoked.
Hope this helps.

I had the same problem with my phone.
Start with a downgrade to original 2.1 and then run unrevoked and then alfarev to s-off,
I followed a very nice video guide i found on the development forum,
It was the only thing that worked for me.
Hope it works for you to.

The mention of S-OFF on that thread just means that it can be done. Not that every PVT4 model has S-OFF out the box. Seems like you might be lucky in that you have factory S-OFF. I take it it doesn't have the pink AlphaRev banner at the top above where it says S-OFF?

i got a t-mobile branded desire that was s-off from factory, i had problems using unrevoked on my pc, tried it on a friends and it worked fine
try a different pc and make sure you have the drivers installed and htc sync uninstalled

if you have an eng hboot you can try fastboot flashing the recovery then using the recovery to flash a rooted rom
failing that you can try the old fake flash method of having cwm as an update.zip
booting to recovery the flashing the update.zip which will take you to cwm
it doesnt actually install a new recovery as its fake flash
does the device look slightly different? like brushed aluminium?
i had one of these old s-off eng devices to play with last year.

No root no s-off on 2.3 = no recovery...
If you don't care about warranty get a goldcard and downgrade to 2.2 with WWE RUU or download 2.3.3 from htcdev

Try a Hard Reset: Go to Fastboot and then Clear Storage no root is needed, take care because it will delete all your phone data.

I have one more HTC Desire with MIUI (SLCD) and HTC Desire with MIUI (AMOLED)... it can do something to help?
Do not have a gold card. I'll try to do tonight.

So,if you enable WiFi ir reboots ? try ti mount USB storage and try to root with unrevoked then flash CWM

Desire can't boot. I can't mount USB Storage and ON "debugging mod".
Recovery can't boot.
Splashscreen - reboot - splashscreen - reboot...
Bootloader and Fastboot work.
Is there a way to install RECOVERY or get ROOT or S-OFF via Bootloader or Fastboot?

Yes. Install recovery via fastboot. Use android flasher.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

Android flasher does not find the connected device. And the device does not Root. And not S - OFF.

Or use revolutionary (http://revolutionary.io/) which will give you S-off, install recovery and root the phone if you follow the full process.
Make sure you read the info page before you begin.

revolutionary need in "debagging mod"... I cant to boot Android on Device... Only splashscreen, fastboot and bootloader...
revolutionary does not find the connection device in fastboot or bootloader mod.

Can you remember whether you had your 'Connect to PC' set to HTC Sync?
If so, you could try to reinstall the official HTC 2.3 update -
Instructions here:
http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-ph...c-desire-to-android-2-3-gingerbread-50004625/

Update firmware many time. It does not work. After update Android, Desire boot up screenshot and reboot. Or only splashscreen-reboot-splashscreen-reboot... But Bootloader and Fastboot is working.
Recovery mod does not work. =-(

Just try unlocking the bootloader from htcdev.com, don't download any ruu you're on the latest version. Maybe that will solve your problem.
You should then see
****UNLOCKED****
on top of your hboot.
Then try flashing cwm.

if the bootloader is unlocked, check that the CWM recovery u r flashing is speciafically for the wildfire s GSM/CDMA[whichever model u r using]..
might be that u r using an incorrect version of CWM.
