You can only get S-OFF with an XTC-Clip.

S-On doesn't allow you to flash another recovery, to get permanent root and flash custom roms.
Unlocked bootloader (still S-On) allows you to di precedent things.
I don't know what S-Off does that is different from unlocked bootloader.
Unlocked bootloader is enough for most of us. I may have said something wrong, but that's how I understood this.

It also allows you total control of the hardware. Ie you can change the size of your mtd partitions so you have more space for apps. Which is very useful if your rom takes up very little space on the system partition. You can allocate that space back to data. Also should you some how kill the software, being s-off means that you can run any ruu without the phone telling you no. Upgrade and downgrade. You can also perform super cid (11111111) which allows you to flash roms from any network/country. Also if you manage to get hardware s-off via a software solution ( a radio s-off and not a hboot s-off) you can run the pj76diag.nbh from the lovely guys at the xtc clip and it will sim unlock the device to any network as well. But if you use the xtc clip its self it will automatically s-off, sim unlock and do supercid
Manny Thanks for the info!

Hello,
I have to go back to stock ROM with my Desire for warranty return...
it was rooted with unrevoked
still S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
I read so many things that I can't find the right process.
which RUU should I use (Orange France)
Thanks for your precious help
PS: don't pay attention to my signature, it's another phone
There is no Orange RUU, therefore the 2.3.3 RUU from htcdev.com is the only RUU that will keep your warranty although you may just have to deal with HTC directly

Hey everyone,

But with HTCBootloaderUnlock problem (ERROR [191] ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED), try to downgrade the phone to 2.3.3 with the hboot 1.03 (WFS don't found), try a goldcard ( with a file zip to the bootloader, return error "main version is older") So WHAT I HAVE TO DO, for S-OFF my WFS ?
Thanks all
Why do you want to s-off it?
Sent from my Wildfire S A510e using xda premium
I want to S-OFF it for install Recovery an Custom ROM (I from of Sony Ericsson so I don't know if i have to S-off or unlock bootloader... but I want to install custom rom)
You can only get S-Off by using an XT-Clip. Luckily, you don't need S-Off to install custom ROMs. You will need to unlock your bootloader. This can be done at http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
I've tried this method but I've got this: ERROR [191] ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED
Have a look at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21231962&postcount=2 it may help.
Tested too but I have this error:main version is older
Try simonsimons BootLoader unlock tool from the developer forum.

Hi all:
What is SHIP that in the bootloader?
and do u guys advice to transfer it to ENG bootloader?
many thanks
Stock bootloader is called ethier ship S-ON or ship S-OFF. Anyway you don't need to transfer it to and ENG bootloader as ENG gives ability to flash in bootloader.

thanks for the reply
so the ENG bootloader will give me the ability to flash new bootloaders ! nice and I heard it gives more commands for the adb is that right?
It gives you fastboot commands.
I Double checked with HTC ITALY and If I send my phone rooted etc then I will not pass through warranty.. soo I need to restore my DHD back to "stock" with root / radio / eng and all stuff back to original settings (and normal rom again).
From what I gathered my steps would be:
1. flash using the HTC program the original rom from their website
2. use visionary to reroot my phone?
3. One click Radio S-OFF tool to reverse that setting
But I'm kind of getting lost on the actual "steps" or sequence, and I'm worried I might brick my phone, could some one give me an updated guide, or just steps to do so I can do this correctly?
I'm sending it in because the home/menu buttons are broken (they lost all their touch sensibility, even under safe mode so its hw and not software).. ><
(i'm running s-off eng-off + Android Revolution HD 6.3.3 right now)
Thank you for your time.
Running the right RUU might do it.

Just got my dhd from the warranty center yesterday.
I've had a eng s-off, root and unofficial rom (last - blackout ics).
Root and s-off have been obtained with a AAHK tool - so were obtaind and s-on + stock rom.

I have read some other posts who tried to run a ruu but apparently they still had unlocked bootloaders. Run an 1.72 ruu and use jkolo tool

Run the advanced ace hack kit. You'll get both stock rom and S-ON.

I've tried it.
I've sent my phone to the warranty center twice - using AAHK to get stock rom and s-on before it - no problem, the phone was repaired.
All u have to do is to read the instructions first, the process of getting stock & s-on is quite simple - u need to choose a ruu, then choose a CID (if u are going to get s-on) and also confirm u want to get s-on later. That's it.

if you have a cdma wildfire s ( no simcard) then make a goldcard and flash the pg76diag.zip from bootloader, if not get a xtc clip.

Nah its not cdma but I've done it before without xtc clip ?
Then you don't mean s-off. You mean htcdev bootloader unlocked. Check the dev section here for simonsimons bootloader unlock tool, or go to htcdev.com and perform the bootloader unlock mate.
