[Q] Help!!!! phone is on v2.3.3 with S-OFF NEED to turn S-ON

I tried to root my husbands htc evo phone but it was interrupted and was not able to try again. He was able to update the software when sprint sent it out but somehow when I went into his bootloader it has S-OFF. I need to return the phone to sprint. Is there any way I can turn S-ON again?

How were u trying to root? Which process?
Taking my experience into account:
Ive been rooted with unrEVOked...and unrooted using the Stock RUU zip. BUT....prior to that...S-on needs to be recovered. The process in which Ive used was following the enclosed link.
Hope it helps...good luck.

If it is S-OFF, just run a stock RUU EXE file... 3.70 seems to work just fine. it will return the device to complete stock, including the bootloader for 3.70 release/ship.

The only way to get s-off to s-on is to flash the unrevoked s-on tool. You can run the RUU all you want and return the partitions to stock, s will still remain off. Well it should anyhow, strange things happen sometimes...
That link in the second post gives you both. Flash s-on then flash the RUU, dont go the other way around...

I was rooting using unrevoked but somehow it got interrupted and didn't finish the process. This was before he update his phone
Even though the phone has the updated software?

Is the phone stock currently? If so just flash the s-on tool, it should work (though I havent heard anyone attempting this yet). If you need to return partitions to stock or an older version of android then run the RUU.

also PM a Mod and ask them to move this to Q please, only post developed work in the DEVELOPMENT section...

Did the update change the Hboot version from 2.10 to 2.16?
Power off the phone, hold Vol Down and Power and wait for Bootloader to run to see which version is on the device.

This is wrong. I was S-OFF since June of 2010 when I bought it and rooted, I just recently had to return my device and get it swapped. I simply ran the RUU Exe, I then made sure to check because I didn't want to return it with S-OFF, and it was S-ON. I didn't run any S-ON Tool or anything else other than the RUU Exe.

The reason yours switched to s-on is because the root method you used included the ENG bootloader. If the root method included unrevoked forever then the only way to achieve s-on is with the s-on tool. So no, he wasn't wrong he could have been more thorough in his explination that's all.

(HELP) Red triangle on recovery

I am rooted and on fresh rom with s-on and hboot 0.79.00 . I want to flash new roms but i am not able to do so coz recovery is nt working.PLEASE HELP ME

Do you remember how you rooted. You either rooted with toast method (PC36IMG file), Simple Root, or Unrevoked?

I bought this off ebay so i have no idea how he rooted. Can you please guide me how to flash rom without recovery?

Busybox installed I hope, and latest version?

There are several different ways to go.
The quickest way (might not work and is just a temp fix) is to download, then unzip the zip file to EVO-RECOVERY folder on your computer. Boot the phone into RECOVERY (with the red triangle), then run the recovery-windows.bat file if you're running Windows on your computer and see does that do anything. Whether or not it works would tell me exactly how the phone was rooted.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/EVO-recovery.zip

The phone is s-on, you're going to need to run unrevoked to gain s-off so you can flash a recovery. You can't flash any unofficial zips in hboot with s-on. Search for unrevoked and your hboot version to find the correct version of unrevoked to unlock the bootloader(hboot).

Toast Method 1 (only needed a PC36IMG file and a temp recovery) or the old Unrevoked (3.1 something, before unrevoked-forever was added). It did not need S-OFF for just flashing ROMs.

Good point. I rooted and S-off via toast right after launch. I guess if someone only did his first step it would look like that. Good point. Speaking of toast, I just threw up quotes of his latest post all over general subforum in all the threads where people are trying to decide if they want nexus or Evo LTE.
They locked the one X down like no tomorrow. Team win and toast can't get recovery to access USB for mount while in recovery. Making me lean nexus.

Did you ever try the EVO-RECOVERY download. No one said anything about pressing volume up and the power button. When you see the red triangle, do not do anything except run the recovery-windows.bat file on your computer (after extracting the files to the EVO-RECOVERY folder) to see if a recovery menu appears. I forgot to mention that the phone must be connected to the computer.
If that does not work, then you might want to go to the unrevoked site and follow their root instructions.

Perfect, the quickest way.
Download the attached files and place them on the root of your SD card.
Flash the unrevoked-forever from the temporary recovery menu that I gave you. That will turn the phone S-OFF.
Then run the PC36IMG file through the bootloader (power off the phone, then volume down +power buttons) and accept the update. That will give you the latest Amon permanent recovery. I also added the superuser.zip file in case you need to flash it (especially on stock ROM if you need it for superuser permissions).

Thank you Everyone
I found the problem and fixed it. Thank you everyone for helping me out.

No problem. I just tried to give you a work around to Toast Method 2 (I see the phone was rooted with Toast Method 1 only) which would also S-OFF the phone, but is more complicated.
You could have also used unrevoked, but you probably would needed to unroot first, then install the Hboot drivers, then run unrevoked (not to mention downloading all of those things) which would have taken some time.

No custom rom, cant boot into cwm recovery, and i believe the zip is still on my sd card

this may be a stupid question but did I need to do anything with the vhwk files like I did on my first dinc2? I never used those files this time because I was thinking the process was different with the taco root method.

If you've gone through Tacoroot and Revolutionary (which it appears you have) and have installed CWM, you still need to install SU. You can't select Recovery from HBoot? You may need to move the P32IMG.zip files from the root of your SD card and reboot. It should allow you into Recovery to flash SU.

Things that I have tried.
New Ruus

The phone is recognized in fastboot,
ADB does not recognize the phone.
I have been going through the forum, and websites for the last 4 hours.
Factory Reset reboots the phone and gives me a security warning.
Recovery does the same.
I also get the USB Not recognized error once the phone comes on. I have installed the HTC drivers, I have also installed HTC Sync and have removed it.
Am I stressing and overlooking something simple? Or, do I need to take this phone out back and lay it to rest.
Thank you in advance

I don't own this phone but how did this happen? I'm assuming your rooted and unlocked if you got s recovery and stuff. And if your recovery works.. just Mount your SD card and transfer a ROM from your PC and flash one.. make sure you flash the kernel too. That or run the ruu

I was given this phone because because it is stuck in the bootloop. Phones come with their own recovery, this isn't a custom recovery. I have tried to run ruus, the error I get is Main version is older. I have also downloaded official stock roms with no luck.
When I hit recovery, the phone reboots back to the bootloader, the recovery never comes up.

Ohh so someone messed it up and just gave it to you for free? Or for you to repair? Either way I don't follow the droid inc2 but maybe im sure its rooted if its in a boot loop so try going into fast boot and go into cmd prompt and try to install a recovery. Look up how to install a recovery through CmD Prompt on the Pc. On my phone can't explain all of it. And then just transfer over a ROM probably cm9 and follow the instructions
Unless you want to go back to stock? Not sure if you know about ROMs and kernels?

I can't for the life of me figure this out. It has me highly intrigued. I am known for stressing out and overlooking minor small steps, so I wanted get some input from the community.
I currently have fastboot open, I am not entirely familiar with the Incredible 2, but normal case S-on = none rooted from my experience.

it was devunlocked then relocked i believe, from the error message i believe you are not flashing the right ruu, you are trying to flash an older one, you need the newest one, it was released a few months ago if i recall correctly and it was no big update but thats the one you need, search for it and try it it should work. if you are s on you cant flash a older ruu than whats already on it

Hboot .98 isn't compatible with revolutionary, only .97 is, but that doesn't make a difference anyways because you can't run revolutionary if you can't boot the phone.

[Q] G2 stuck in a boot loop please help..

Not sure what to do here...
I rooted this G2 earlier this evening and decided I wanted Cyanogenmod 7 as the rom.
I flashed Clockworkmod and installed the rom and then gapps directly after without rebooting, I'm not sure if that screwed it up. Anyway, now I'm in a boot loop.
I held volume down and power and can get in to that screen but it won't seem to let me select fastboot. I just noticed earlier when I plug it in with the power off it will open up Clockworkmod Recovery but after a few seconds the screen goes dark and whatever process began, stops.
When I do open it up with volume down + power it automatically starts up hboot after a few seconds and examines the froyo rom (PC10IMG) I still have on my SD card (at least I assume that's the one it's looking at) and it says the "main version is older / Update fail"
Also on the recovery screen (volume down + Power) it previous said s-off and now it's back to s-on. I think I can get access to adb btw.
I looked through the threads but I couldn't seem to find a definitive answer so I apologize in advance if I didn't scour them as well as I should have. Thanks for any help you can offer!

I used the adb method. I downgraded from GB to Froyo and then used the adb commands here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228) to perm root. I had a stable root after that was all said and done it just went in to the boot loop after I installed Cyanogenmod and the Gapps.
After the boot loop began it DID re-run the pc10img.zip Or well, I should say, I, re-ran it
I downloaded the RUU but I didn't attempt it because I figured I've already gotten myself in enough trouble as it is.

Oh yeah, here's exactly what the bootloader screen says.
It fires up and gives the normal options although it won't scroll down to any of them besides Hboot and it auto selects Hboot.

press <power> to reboot.

Yeah you are in tough place right now, never heared of the bootloader you have and the method you used to root can be dangerous, hopefull we can still use clockwork. Remove the pc10img.zip from sdcard and try to boot to hboot and then choose recovery, see if it lets you flash a rom

I removed the pc10img.zip from the SD card and NOW the bootloader allows me to actually make selections. I chose recovery and it went right in to Clockworkmod.
I tried to reflash Cyanogenmod 7 and it seemed to work but it is still in the boot loop. I think the reason it didn't go through correctly was because my phone is now s-on? when I originally rooted it and attempted to flash it, it was s-off. I am beginning to understand the scope of the problem here.
Would it be possible to download a t-mobile stock recovery rom image and flash that with clockworkmod? never tried that before.
Or, should I use the RUU, hope it works and start from scratch?
Or some other option that's beyond me.
Thanks for your help! This isn't my main phone and I was merely rooting it as a backup/experimental phone. I'd rather not have a paper weight but we shall see I guess. Thanks again!
I rooted my other G2 with the described method and it worked like a charm but for future reference is there any safer method available?

See the xda wiki for the proper root method, at this point you should try and flash an ruu through fastboot and start from scratch with the downgrade and root via gfree (xda wiki)

So just so I have it straight - root the phone first and then try and flash a stock rom through fast boot? Not sure if that's possible because I'm not sure if I have access to usb debug but I'll check and get back.
I downloaded the RUU from the htc website. Should I just follow the instructions included with that program?
Thanks for the advice!

Start with ruu, if it lets you return to stock great, then move on to the xda wiki, here it will link you to downgrade instructions and then go back to wiki to root and soff via gfree
