Now I rooted my mobile using unrevoked method.
All working well.
Now I want to install custom Rom .
Now my mobile was S-on.
So,how to S-off to install custom Rom?
Or simply update a zip using custom recovery.

You don't need to S-off to install a custom rom. Zip and custom recovery will work.
If you want to S-off use AlphaRev, but make sure you know what you are doing and understand the risk.

What is the main use of S-off?

Search and you'll find out

I Read and found it.
But I can't understand fully.
If S-on means, we can not access the system fully.
Is correct?

Some what correct. If you don't know what it does, don't do it. Non-advanced users doesn't really benefit from s-off and it has the risk of damaging your device. And It's not required for just installing custom ROMs. Reboot to recovery and flash the *.zip from your SDcard, reboot and enjoy.
I would link you to the guide on how to root, but on my phone at the moment. It contains a lot of very good tips to new users on how to install custom stuff after obtaining root.

[Q] ROOT and factory reset

Hello
first, sorry for my bad english...
here is my trouble : i rooted my HTC desire with the unrevoked method, and it went well.
then, i have made a factory reset and applied the OTA update from 2.10 to 2.29 (OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2-2.10.405.2_R_P_release8gn61bgo3rswcw24.zip)
but now, when i'm trying to use an app that request the SuperUser rights, i don't get the pop up asking for this authorization... (i.e. titanium backup)
and i can't update the superuser app in the market...
i tried to re-root with unrevoked, but that didn't solve my trouble...
i need your help
thanks
Adrien

Never apply OTA updates on rooted phones.
You still have CWM recovery? If yes reflash your/a rom.
Otherwise use a ruu to unroot properly and reroot.

yes, i have still CWM recovery
i don't understand what you mean with /a rom ?
and, if i do this way, how to update from 2.10 to 2.29
thanks
Adrien

You can reflash the rom you already have or flash a new custom rom. The custom rom will most likely be the newest version.

[Q] Does anyone have a link for Clockwork Recovery 3.0.2.4?

I am looking for Clockwork Recovery 3.0.2.4 for my G2 so I can install the DZ HBOOT. Does anyone have the download link for it?
I appreciate it

It's in RM, just scroll down to the bottom for the option to install older recoveries.

Here you go: http://ratherphallic.co.cc/OTHER/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img
You don't need this specific version of recovery to flash the DZ hboot, it gets flashed from bootloader, not recovery.

or as I found out you can flash via fastboot so long as you have an engienering hboot. this way you don't have to reflash your radio and recovery again. although I did have to reformat my recovery (4ext)

^ This. Also if you just need the desire Z hboot, you can install the new ENG S-OFF hboot without a specific recovery (the one from the Virtuous wiki though does come with clockworkmod, but I prefer 4EXT recovery).

Thanks guys, successfully changed boot loader and I'm running Sense 4.0

Desire HD stock rom.

Hi there (I'm new here), I have a HTC Desire HD with PAC-MAN custom rom. How do I revert to the stock rom?
My phone is S-ON, unlocked bootloader.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app

Hello,
I think that you have to relock the bootloader, you need or not a goldcard, flash a rom (RUU), which has the same hboot version then your DHD or superior.
Wait other opinions.

Is there a way without locking the bootlaoder? Like a .zip I can flash?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app

I think that you can install a stock rom in RUU*.exe format ONLY with S-ON DHD and relocked.
If your DHD is unlocked and rooted (S-ON or S-OFF), you can install easly a stock rooted rom (same steps when installing a custom rom).

Thanks I have tried 2 RUU but they dont work!:thumbdown:

The hboot version of your phone must be equal or higher then the hboot of the stock rom.
In the past i tried many to can install one:

Really I don't known !
I tried several roms.

[Q] ROMs from a non HTC user

Hello guys. Never used a HTC device (Moto junkie). What must be achieved for root and loading a custom recovery on the One? Also, anything I should know before diving into CM11 nightlies?
Sent from my XT907 using xda premium

For root you must have S-OFF and and an unlocked bootloader. Go find the Rumrunner S-OFF tool which will also help you inject root. Then you can SuperCID your phone to use HTCDev bootloader unlock. Then you can easily flash in a custom recovery, kernel, ROM, etc.

I'm not sure what process the other guy followed but rumrunner will unlock bootloader and soff device. If it runs properly you will also have root. You will probably have to fastboot flash a custom recovery afterwards but that's about it. If you don't have root after using the tool just download supersu zip and flash in recovery.

For roms, I recommend either CM11 or the GPE port (both are 4.4). Both are great. Good luck with S-OFF!
