Hi all, so the US Cellular RUU is out and that is cool. I have a broken Desire that I would like to get fixed under warranty. I flashed the RUU and it un-rooted my phone but the bootloader still shows that the security flag is off (S-OFF). Is there a way to set S-ON? I rooted and set S-OFF via unrevoked. On their page is has said that S-ON is coming soon - but it has said that for a long time. I also have another working Desire so I can get anything off of that if needed.
Thanks,
Pete
I am technically inclined so I will try pretty much anything to get this thing setup with the security flag on again.
A way to contact the unrevoked team?
Anyone know how to contact team unrevoked? I am just wondering how soon the 'coming soon' is for S-ON for the CDMA Deisre. Thanks in advance..
I just attempted to set s-on for my CDMA Desire with the unrevoked-forever-son.zip. It errored out with an incorrect radio message. Is there a way to set s-on for my BravoC Desire? Wondering if there is a radio I can use?
Don't think you can get S-ON again at the moment, you can go back to stock ROM-wise with the new RUU

This is exactly correct - I flashed the Alltel RUU that downgraded my radio to a version that unrevoked-forever-son.zip is compatible with. I attempted to run the update from within recovery and it gracefully told me my device was not supported. So I am on to waiting for unrevoked to add s-on support for the CDMA Desire.
I'm waiting for S-ON too. S-OFF broke my MMS (maybe s-on will fix it) but I need to take it back to bluegrass.
Hey XDA peeps so i got my phone back from sprint it got fix up long story short I was ready to put back revolutionary back on my phone from some same strange reason my backup root is not working none what so ever also i am still kind of rooted with S-on my bootloader is still unlock now when i try to run the files it ask what am i doing i am already rooted long story short i am fully rooted with S-on but i want it back to S-off but every time i put the pc36img file it want update any suggestions. And yes i did remove revolutionary from my phone because i had to let sprint look at it.
I would try running revolutuonary and that will give you s-off.
Try running the RUU on it and then rerooting.

That's the only way you are going to fix it. You likely have the 6.17 HBoot (a modified 2.16 HBoot), which thinks it is still the 2.16 Hboot that you set S-OFF. Find and run a 4.53 RUU in order to downgrade the HBoot back to 2.16, then reroot using Revolutionary.
okay i will i hope i can find 4.53 RUU
Hey i was able to find root I am back to regular stock mode in the morning i would and am going back to ROOT. thanks
Hi everyone
I know there are many threads on this but I cant seem to get my head round what I actually need to do.
I need to send my phone for warranty and of course I will need to unroot. I am currently running CoreDroid.
I have the RUU that I want to install, so please can somebody outline the various steps I should take in order to return my phone to factory state including S-on?
As I understand it, I need to
1: Install the RUU (By the way does this change the splash screen that comes before the boot animation as I have a custom one installed?)
2: As this will go to version 1.32, install Visionary and temproot
3: Run Jkolos S-off tool to change the CID back to stock and reset S-on
4: Not too sure here
So if somebody could please change and correct these steps I would be very grateful. Thank you very much.
What I did was,
1. Flash the 1.32.405.6 RUU
2. PermRoot with Visionary+
3. Reboot.
4. Run Jkoljo's ENG S-OFF / Radio S-OFF tool to restore
-SHIP S-ON
-CID : HTC__001
5. Reboot
6. Reflash 1.32.405.6
After that you should have a Stock Desire HD running 1.32.405.6 Firmware with SHIP S-ON, Radio S-ON & a stock CID.
Your steps pretty sum up what I did.
That's it. I've done this twice and htc has repaired both times.

I used the HTCDEV unlock to unlock until I found the GoldCard S-OFF method to S-OFF and S-OFF, as we all know > Unlocked bootloader. I used theq86's tool to relock to the original state.
My first question is: what does the "OOW" mean? I have that it means "Out of Warranty" and that it means absolutely nothing.
My second question is: can I downgrade to my original HBOOT? I do not the remember the version, but I'm sure someone out there knows.
My third question: if I downgrade HBOOT, will I lose S-OFF? It's no big deal if I do, I just want to have my GoldCard ready.
Fourth: If I downgrade to the original HBOOT will it still report "LOCKED (OOW)" or will it just say "LOCKED" and does that have any benefit over "LOCKED (OOW)" (I have heard that it does when sending the phone back to HTC.
I simply want my phone to look as stock as possible (with the exception of my ROM, which can easily be stocked) in case it needs to be sent to HTC.

It is not confirmed, but it seems to be Out Of Warranty because if you flash this bootloader HTC will reject warranty
My second question is: can I downgrade to my original HBOOT? I do not the remember the version, but I'm sure someone out there knows.
Yes, you can. Use my tool again and choose the third option "superversion"
Afterwards flash a STOCK RUU and hboot will be downgraded as well.
My third question: if I downgrade HBOOT, will I lose S-OFF? It's no big deal if I do, I just want to have my GoldCard ready.
I don't know, but S-OFFing again is no problem if it really goes away.
Fourth: If I downgrade to the original HBOOT will it still report "LOCKED (OOW)" or will it just say "LOCKED" and does that have any benefit over "LOCKED (OOW)" (I have heard that it does when sending the phone back to HTC.
If you downgrade HBOOT it will neither show LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED because the standard hboots do not check this.
I simply want my phone to look as stock as possible (with the exception of my ROM, which can easily be stocked) in case it needs to be sent to HTC.

10 chars. my answers in red.
When you say to flash a stock RUU do you mean one of the ones from HTC Dev or elsewhere? Can you provide a link. If it would help, I have a marvelc with Virgin Mobile US.
In the dev section there is a thread where many many stock rom RUUs are. so take a look at there. it's one of the sticky posts.
To downgrade your bootloader, since your s-off just take the ruu with the bootloader of your choice. Extract the rom.zip. open it up and you will find a file called bootloader or hboot or something to that effect. Take that file and the android update.txt file. Zip them both up and rename it pg76img.zip
Put it in the root if your sdcard and boot into hboot. The phone will find the update and just flash it. Done

Is there a specific ROM I should be running? Using simonsimon34's CM7 port and with my PC running Windows 8 Consumer Preview (with HTC Drivers) I am told that the RUU utility is unable to find the Android phone.
Do I need a ROM with HTC Sync?
Which method are you trying?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
I'm just trying to run the RUU.exe.
EDIT: I installed Vista and so far it appears to work. I'm going to wait until later to actually go all the way through. (I just went far enough for it to verify my "PDA phone".)
Might just have been your win 8 pal.

You need to be on a stock rom to use the HAck Kit to gain S-OFF. Try flashing a stock rom and then run the Hack kit.

If the phone is S-ON, then technically it's not rooted. Search for the latest AAHK thread and follow it. It explains that first you need to downgrade and then your phone becomes rooted and hence S-off.

First of all, go here and download the hack kit:

And before doing nothing, read the manual and ask if you have some doubts.

Guys, he has an unlocked bootloader and is running a custom rom. The Hack Kit only works with locked bootloaders (as RUU´s do) and stock rom. So, he first needs to revert to a stock rom, relock the bootloader and then use the Hack Kit.
Running the Hack Kit from a custom rom will get him stuck...

Exactly, I have rooted and already got a custom rom on it, It just not S-OFF, so I need to set S-OFF, at least please tell me how to lock the bootloader back, so I can use hack kit to root and s off again. I tried with RUU to restore but RUU also failed. Right now I'm so screwed up, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Ok, the first you need is to find if there is a RUU for your phone. You need to find the CID number of your phone and then see if there is a ruu that matches that. Was your phone branded to a carrier? If there is no RUU for your phone, then you will have to create a goldcard to be able to flash another RUU to revert to stock.
Once you get the ruu, you need to relock the bootloader in order to flash that RUU, by booting in fastboot usb (boot in hboot and plug the phone, if HBOOT USB PLUG is highlighted in blue, just press power to toggle to fastboot usb). Open a cmd as admin in the pc and type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check that your bootloader says *RELOCKED* at the top left corner. Then in fastboot usb, just run the RUU. When you are done, you can run the Hack Kit.
If you need further help, just let me know.

Thanks for the great replay,
I'm not sure if it was branded, cos I got it from my cousin and when I get from him, it was rooted and had a custom rom with it. Then after I got it I tried to install JellyTime and failed, then tried to flash with this RUU (RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed), then it also failed.
Then later I was able to install never version of ClockworkMod recovery and installed Blackout ICS incredible, and I also made a gold card. now my SD is a gold card. after I installed Blackout ICS incredible, phone works ok now, but I have no Wi-Fi, I think the wifi not work because it's S-ON.
I tried to S-OFF all the way possible but I was not able to do that. And I can only get internet to phone with mobile network or Internet Passthrough from Windows.
Now I'm gonna try the way you explained here and lets see if I get any success, and please let me know if any other solution out there, cos I really need Wi-Fi on this
Thanks again!!!! :good:
THANKS glevitan, THANKS TO YOU I FIXED MY PROBLEM, I INSTALLED JellyTime AGAIN AND Wi-Fi ALSO WORKING NOW!!!
