Can somebody help me locate a guide for gaining S-OFF after doing the HTC dev unlock? Seems a bit scattered. I have downloaded the RUU for gingerbread and know that I need to relock but I'm also reading that I need to remove CWM? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm in the same boat, there's plenty of information out there but it seems scattered.
I read through the Comprehensive S-Off/Root Methods thread and I think it goes like this:
Flash the RUU that's posted in that thread.
Re-lock bootloader (fastboot oem lock).
At this point it's like you're back to stock, correct?
Downgrade hboot if needed using the scripts shown (or does the RUU do this?)
S-off with revolutionary and get clockworkmod flashed.
Flash superuser / a ROM.
My question is: what will be the state of my phone after I flash the RUU listed in that thread? Will I be back to stock recovery? Will I need to downgrade hboot?

I think you have to flash the stock recovery first, before the RUU.
Flash the 2.3.3 ruu, make sure you have stock recovery, relock it then use revolutionary to get S-OFF.

Guys, how do I flash the RUU?
I've tried renaming it to PG32IMG.zip, but it throws an error stating "wrong zipped image" or something of that sort.
I've tried flashing it through flashboot:
C:\Android>fastboot flash recover recovery_signed.img
sending 'recover' (3746 KB)... OKAY [ 1.144s]
writing 'recover'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

Agreed! With the bootlaoder now unlocked, what are the steps to rooting this beast? Do we still need to downgrade? Please pardon my noobness.
You wouldn't need to downgrade, I do know that. But as far as the rest, Idk. I did mine with revolutionary a while back before the 2.3.4 update, so I've been kicking ever since.

I would see if you can install superuser from the market.
EDIT: I would also see if you can install CWM and ROM manager. If all those install ok you should be able to load a custom ROM.

You do not have to downgrade if you unlocked. You should be able to install a new recovery image like Clockwork.

When you flash a custom ROM from CWM on an unlocked HBOOT, you then need to manually extract the boot.img from the custom ROM zip file and manually flash it in Fastboot mode using the command
Fastboot flash boot [path to the boot.img file]
This has been documented multiple times in this forum.

Yes in your case you will need to relock the bootloader in order to flash the RUU/PG32IMG.zip file. You cannot flash a RUU on an unlocked bootloader.
I'm guessing you guys have something other than .98 hboot? I'll find out soon when my wifes replacement comes in but I was not intending to use the HTC unlocker if I didn't have to. I was planning to try the tool attn1 has posted in the dev section unless the hboot changed with the ota.

Good to hear kinda thought it was. I'll be using the method attn1 has posted then. I don't trust the unlock method through HTC for one main reason which is this... Unlocking bootloader and rooting voids warranty as we all know. So what happens when HTC knows your bootloader was unlocked because you used their tool and they have the serial number?

You gain full s-off. With s-on unlocked you can't write to the radio partition and others. So if a rom comes with a custom kernel you will have to flash the boot.img from fastboot then the rom I think

You can flash custom kernels fine with just the unlocked bootloader. The boot partition is unlocked, along with the system and recovery partitions.
Okay I've been getting reports of roms not flashing right for the marvelc. So I set out for a solution and found one I believe. One issues with some roms, is that people have been doing it wrong since they got the phone. From Gsm recovery to even gsm roms. They used cmtd a very bad idea ect ect. So now, id like to present my method for fixing all of this. First, soff your hboot, then upgrade and unlock. install custom recovery and wipe all of the partitions. Then reboot to fastboot and flash the recovery posted bellow. Report back with any findings
http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/marvelc/cm9/tests/recovery.img
I was just wondering if you could give step by step instructions to flashing the recovery.img. File.
Download it. Rename to recovery.img. Place in the same directory as fastboot and adb.
Put your phone into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Simonsimons34 I have tried many things but this CWM actually let me flash a rom your great!! thanks so much and this worked for me
Glad to hear it this recovery has all the bugs with flashing and backups fixed so you should be good for the life of the phone

It flashed no problem. I couldn't get revone to kick to me to S-ON. However whatever it uses to lock/unlock the bootloader works and the hboot version is just 1.44.0000 so I'm assuming its revone'able. Fastboot wouldn't do it either due to hboot signature checks. Do you know another way to get S-ON?

This one says May 3, 2013. Also even after flashing back to stock, trying to S-ON with 1.44 flashed, fastboot gives me the hboot verification error.
Eh. Apparently you can't S-ON with even a older stock bootloader. Which is probably good because apparently the phone would have refused to boot with S-ON and 1.44 flashed. Either way I would leave 1.44 flashed as a just in case. Especially since it's not an easy fix if something S-OFF related goes wrong.

Very nice bro, this will help keep many people feel safer that don't know entirely the full risks involved with S-OFF

So, when I get my phone back with S-Off I should flash this file to downgrade bootloader to 1.44? Do I keep it 1.44 and flash roms as usual? Sorry for the dumb questions... Just don't want to mess up my phone.

messing with hboot is a perfect way to do just that actually.
wrong hboot file.,
hboot file not downloaded fully (corrupted)
it is (Was) back on the inc4 you'd have a bricked phone with no way to fix it, except maybe jtag
but if Sonic confirms it safe, I'd trust him and just double check that md5

Please bare with me... I don't understand what you are say. Is the file Sonic posted HBOOT 1.44 good or bad and should I should I not flash it? I don't want to mess with anything I don't have to. I must have misread his post earlier. I thought he said to be on the safe side flash 1.44.

I flashed it and everything's fine for me. I never post things without testing them first.

Thanks for the reply. I figured you wouldn't. I am just new and don't want to mess up my phone.
