So can someone help me? and again sorry if i missed something. Thank's in advance

The Hack Kit can revert you back to stock, unrooted and S-OFF, just read the manual

[Q] Removing s-off

I am new here. I rooted my phone recently, but now i want to sell it an at least need to remove the s-off completely or just the picture at the start of the boot.
I've some threads, and apart from reflashing to official RUU, I dont see any other way.
I also tried this method, but with no luck.

unebootin works but your rom has to be an non data 2 sd because it interferes...try with oxygen then you can flash your rom
Why don't just change the splash screen?
Use search for a guide to change it.
Good luck!
Running the RUU will get it back to 100% stock - removing S-OFF and putting it back to an 'out of the box' state. Best way to do it if you're going to sell the unit.
Just use the right RUU
Thanks a lot for the help
Just one question, if i run the RUU will the phone recieve OTA updates (sorry if what I'm asking is silly)?

[Q] S-OFF!! im running stock gingerbread too!!

Ok so i know that gingerbread doesnt have root yet, but i installed the mod for the sense launcher it didnt work but my s-on isnt on its off... i dont know if this means anything to anybody ill upload a pictureee. Does this mean we might be closer to root?
i think i uploaded the picture ?
Yup. U r a lucky Guy. Put a copy of amon RA onto the root of ur SD card. Boot onto the bootloader and when it asks if u want to update say yes. U will then be able to flash whatever u like
If you were s-off before, you should still be s-off after. I have two s-off EVOs that I was going to sell, so I restored them to latest OTA (yea I'm a jerk!) but they stayed s-off (lucky for those when I do decide to sell).
I don't get the point of this, unless you had an S-ON phone and somehow got it S-OFF after the 2.16 hboot and 2.3.3 android upgrade.
YES! thats the thing! I unrooted, got the gingerbread update, after installation and what not it said S-ON. now it says s-off and i have no idea what i did, i been doing so much crap to my phone i dotn even remember what i did. I wanted to try the sense launcher from tommytomatoe and it froze my phone and couldnt do nothing. So i pressed power volume down and it now said s-off.

If what you say is true, you might be able to help the rooting effort by pulling some info off your phone that could be valuable to the devs. I would explain the situation to them, and offer whatever info they need from your phone.
They'll probably call shenanigans on you-- I know I would. But maybe-- just maybe, your Evo carries the mutant X gene that we need to crack this puzzle.
Nice man! maybe just maybe your phone is the "root" of all hahahahaha

Did you have root before at all? Did you use Unrevoked3 to root before? If you did, how did you unroot?
Yes i used unrevoke 3 to root but i installed a stock froyo ruu unrooted because after i tried to unroot with unrevoked it didnt work. After i installed the froyo ruu it said S-ON, i then went on to install gingerbread, went back to check the hboot to see if everything was right and it still said S-ON, then i went thru every process to root my phone just to see if i could try soemthing but failed of course. I then wanted to try tommytomatoe sense launcher for unrooted and after my phone froze alot i went to clear data by pressing power and volume down. That is when i saw it was S-OFF. do you want to know anythingg else?
Please unroot again and post pics , you are still trying to unroot are you not. Go go.
Im cant unroot, im not even rooted, im running stock gingerbread ota 4.24.651.1
Did you flash the s-on tool when you unrooted?

Yes sir. I did all that was needed to unroot my phone.
Don't think running a ruu will turn s-on. Once you are s-off, you are s-off until you run the s-on tool. Correct me if I am wrong.
Swyped from my Supersonic
i am so tempted to try this....
can you provide the link to this tommytomato mod , at this point, i dont care if i brick my evo ill just go harass sprint and get a refurb or something if i do

This didnt do nothing it was because of the mess up on my end did i go and find the s-on.
You need to write down everything you did and the order you did it. Also please provide the links that you used.
Also, was it the 4.22 or the 4.24 that you updated to?
*Edit* Nevermind I just saw your earlier post

I say somehow some way when u attempted to re-root it went thru cuz that's the only logical way s-off could've been attained. Clearing ur data won't and u were s-on before u took the OTA update so it wasn't present before hand. Have you tried flashing another rom from recovery just to see if it works? You my friend maybe the "MVD" lol!!!

S-ON wipe Recovery?

Okay, this is a quick and probably stupid question. I just used jcase's method to return my phone to stock (now it's running Froyo, and I declined the GB upgrade). I have to return it under warranty, but I just want to confirm that they won't find anything wrong with it. Is the recovery overwritten? I know I am S-ON so is that enough? Thank you so much for your help!

if ur s-on ur good.
S-On
I'm going to follow up with another stupid question.. if i get S-Off from Alpharev, is there a way to return it back to S-on? i know with the original Dinc there was an S-on Zip.. i know they're completely different phones, but can i use that to S-on again? is there something in ADB to redo it?
If i get S-off.. i DO want to keep it, i'm just talking about warrenty purposes..
Ya I found that out right after.. my Googling skills were weak for a little bit then i realized i couldnt find anything to return it to stock because i had Dunc 2 written instead of Dinc 2... and Google apparently found it funny to not give me the Suggested search...
Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnlnWW8tsvo and follow it with jcase's guide (link in video description). I was anxious about messing something up but this was really easy.

Please help. Rooted phone and now stuck and scared..

Ok, hello everyone. Please bare with me as I am new here and this is my first time rooting. I usually don't do this type of stuff but I thought I would give it a try. Please have mercy.
I have a TELUS HTC Desire HD, and I decided that I would try to root it tonight. I used AAHK and the rooting went good. I am now on 2.3.3
The problem now is that I cannot go to ICS/JB OR return to stock. Everytime I tried to flash to a JellyTime ROM, hboot would flash to the downgrading gingerbread rom instead. VERY confusing. and as for returning to stock, I don't even know.. Please please help.. and before you ask, I did to a clean downgrade. Wiped the whole thing. I backed a lot up, except I forgot my contacts.. OOF.
Can someone please help me do one of these things? (Preferably down to stock)
Again please don't be rude, please have mercy. I am scared right now. Very thankful that my phone isn't bricked, but I am stuck and lost..

Are u sure that You are s-off? If You are, then delete the PD98IMG.zip file from the sdcard. If You are not s-off, then re run the hack kit as You have only downgraded. :good:

It was rooted, so it would be S-off right?? I think that the problem is that when I downgraded, AAHK put a ROM on my SD card of the Gingerbread, and everytime I try to load the JellyTime ROM, it loads that GB ROM instead.. At least I think that is what the problem is..
If I can still put the Jellytime on, that would be cool since I've already gone through the rooting process lol
I don't think I like Hboot.. How can I load ClockworkRecovery instead?
The process I've been doing is:
1. Put the JellyTime on my SD Card
2. Shut the phone off, battery out. then put battery back in, and hold Volume Down + Power, and it loads up Hboot. That's where I'm having problems
EDIT: I've just now found out that the phone is in GB, BUT NOT ROOTED! How the eff does that work??

Root and S-OFF are different. In hboot you should see at the top left corner something like ACE PVT S-OFF...
then you will be able to flash a ROM. If you are not S-OFF then you have,to re run the Hack Kit. Use the guide in my signature to find information. :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I see someone didn't read the manual clearly enough. For those that are sense 3.0 roms(like you) you have to run the kit twice. Once to downgrade and the second to gain root and soff
Thanks to you both! I got it working! ICS ON DESIRE HD WOOO!!!

I need help!

Hi guys! So last night I tried to root and flash my Desire HD but something went wrong and it wouldn't go past the splashscreen. I could still get into the bootloader though. I used the AAHK to root it but it failed everytime and after trying some different things something went wrong. So after a lot of frustration I went to bed, and after waking up this morning I found out it wouldn't start at all. How can that be? Nothing changed.
My CID is VODAPE17. I tried to flash Sabsa Prime.
What do I do now?
Thanks in advance.
You do need help. Posting threads in the Development Section is forbidden, unless it's a new ROM.
Mods move, then I'll try to help.

maybe you can read...and ask for help being a bit more precise. How did you try to flash a custom rom without being S-OFF or with an unlocked bootloader?
Why the AAHK failed? let me tell you that the Hack Kit works flawlessly unless you do not accomplish the requirements for it to work, so what is probably failing is you.
If you want to get help, be precise about what the Hack Kit session says, and what you did to your cell to end up like this.

I don't know what it said, just that it didn't work. It didn't turn S-off, it didn't install CWM, it did nothing. And then I couldn't get past the splashscreen. It now won't connect with AAHK, so I can't check what error I got. I think my pc had a hiccup when installing a new radio.
I can get into bootloader again, my volume buttons are messed up so I couldn't press it correctly.
I guess I have to flash a RUU with a goldcard right? But when I put my SD in my girlfriend's Galaxy s2 the Goldcard Helper App only shows MMC0 and MMC1. Not MMC2, which I need. Do I need another DHD for it to work? I thought the CID was memory card specific in this case.
