Hi,
I want to root my device, but I'm a little bit afraid of the "relocked"-problem. Also I need to flash the boot.img manually.
So my question is, if I unlock now and someone figures out, how to s-off, do I still have to flash the boot.img manually with s-off after unlock via htcdev? And does s-off includes the possibility of full-relocking the bootloader and if yes, is this possibility also given, when I would s-off after htcdev?
Thanks,
me113
Just unlock now . It's most probably that HTC One X / X+ won't get S-Off ... It's been discussed for more than half a year and no one's figured it out or should we say unable to S-Off ...

Will I have any disadvantages, if s-off is possible after all and I already unlocked?

You can still do S-Off after you've unlocked . No disadvantages , only advantages .
Thanks for your advice. But I've read in a thread about a HTC Flyer-Rom:
if you used HTC Unlock and S-OFF'd using that, you ALWAYS need to flash new boot.img manually

I'm a little bit confused now. I thought s-off from stock and s-off after htcdev is the same. So I have to flash the boot.img forever manually, if I unlocked via htcdev?!

Let's clear something up about this, s-off is still impossible for the time being ! Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone back to factory state but you do NOT have to flash a new boot.img, it works as normal after unlocking the bootloader !
If you flash a custom rom you have to flash the boot.img from that rom with a tool or manually with fastboot commands because we don't have S-OFF !

Yeah, but if someone achieves S-OFF, I don't have to flash it manually any longer?
That's right ! But don't get your hopes up on that, people are trying it already for over 6 months .... my guess it's not going to happen, and i don't mind either because now the phone is almost unbrickable ! And flashing the boot.img manually takes like 20 seconds .....
Ok, great. Thanks for your answer!
Will unlock now. :victory:
Merry Xmas

Hy, is there any 100% way to unlock this phone?
Yes. But you need to meet a certain prerequisite.
i.e,
HTC Firmware <= 2.37
Try this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Read first post and Q&A in the second post, there are links to downgrading your rom and tools for rooting.
Alternatively you can try this AllInOne tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037315.
So this Radio S-OFF tool is for unlocking?

Yes, but only part of unlocking. Not all of it. First you need downgrade, then Radio S-OFF, and finally Eng S-OFF.
Thank you. Is there a tutorials for downgrade?
I have Android version 2.3.3, Basebamd version 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_m and Kernel version 2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod-g99f1050.
Is there a code for simlock check? Like Galaxy Ace.. *#7465625#
I see that my phone is already S-OFF (ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF)
Android version 2.3.3, Basebamd version 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_m and Kernel version 2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod-g99f1050, BUILD GRI40
I tried this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037315
But i dont now how tu use it =) What must i do first?
First i got this:

Okay, please do check again the steps provided. You may have missed something. Do you have reapplied temp and permroot using visionary? Most people forgot that rooting is required again after flashing stock 1.32. 2nd, check the radio s-off status, cid state, pc software requirement and other stated in the radio s-off guide. Btw, what's your current radio?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
hi,
yes of course you can try for remote unlocking method either through the network provider or 3rd parties such as Theunlockarena.com/htc-desire-hd/rs13wp9/ to unlock your HTC desire HD.its simple process.they'll do unlock remotely and after that give you instructions to follow.you just need to do is give your model,network,IMEI number to them that's all..
yes i also followed the same procedure n got everything right.... First radio s - off then Eng off and also the super CID but for some reason i still cant use other networks.... any ideas what i am doing wrong... or any suggestions.. thnx. or any other method of unlocking the sim,,
Good news for you guys having updated latest FOTA and lost unlocked bootloader. If downgrading did not work out for you, visit htcdev.com.
They released an official RUU for the latest firmware to be unlocked.
Also do wish me luck, bc latest FOTA bricked my device. Maybe I can revive it this way.
But nevertheless, no need to downgrade anymore.
To upgrade to 2.13.401.3 do i have to go back to stock recovery or does it work with cwm or goldcard ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA App
I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with upgrading to 2.13.401.3.
This is just for telling people already having 2.13.401.3, that they now can unlock the bootloader with a HTCDEV RUU
Yes i know it, but i downloaded the ruu update.exe because i don't received the fota and i read somewhere on xda that we have to go back to stock recovery for update.
yes, that's right. but this is the wrong place for your question.
Sorry i just realise it now, i forgot you update via fota
yap..I just opened a website htcdev, there is no more 2.13.401.2

read title from theq86 this is news about official RUU for the latest firmware to be unlocked, so theres no need to downgrade if you want to unlock bl (if you're on 2.13.401.3)
In addition: there is only hboot file in the RUU-update That means that our phones will be always unlockable after flashing every next ROM update from HTC. No more outdated RADIO.

You are wrong. RUU checks software number by comparison to the number from misc partition which is r-w accessible after shell root. Here is tutorial to do that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301388.

Huh, that's funny. If you listen to some people around here, HTC is a giant corporate gorilla that doesn't care about its peon customers or listen to them at all. They were never going to unlock the Wildfire S bootloader in the first place, and then after they did, they killed us with an RUU that relocks it just to torment us, and they were never going to solve that problem for us either.
Thanks HTC for listening to your customers... AGAIN!

becaue the hboot only update by RUU，your hboot1.080099 is very high，so you need found one hboot 1.080099 or even higher 1.090099 and flash it.

ahh sorry. didn't realise I had to go through HTCDEV to update my bootloader. So my boot loader is now at 1.090099. I can't post this in simonsutiltiy thread(because I don't have 10 posts yet) but I'm getting stuck when it tries booting into recovery mode. The phone just goes to the red triangle and stops doing anything. I pulled that battery and it's still locked.
Do I even have to unlock it? Or can I just reflash the 2.13 rom?
Ok. New update and I could use some help. My bootloader is now unlocked and on 1.090099 on ROM 2.13. But I still can't update to ROM 2.14 or ref lash ROM 2.13. The RUU gives me the error 155. I went through USB fastboot but still the same error. Could anybody else help me?
You simply Unlock the Bootloader, and again reset HBoot using Supervision(I hope so), Then flash out the RUU file. But the only problm s it will be relocked again, then u need to proceed to unlock(if uy need to break rules) means>>>>>
I have owned an HTC Incredible and an HTC Rezound in the past, and I'm fairly certain they came with S-ON. (I have also owned about every Samsung phone in existence, its just my HTC expertise is limited).

Is this normal? Someone on reddit told me to post here asking, as I might get a better response.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: If anyone is wondering, the only thing I have done is fastboot oem unlock, fastboot CWM install, and then SuperSU flash via CWM. I'm still running stock ROM.

Now its Unlocked and S-OFF with a CWM recovery.
Yes you could've pushed it via an ZIP file using HBOOT so you've let HTC know for no reason
EDIT: You didn't go via HTCDev, you just ran 'fastboot oem unlock' and that was it? In which case HTC won't know and you're in a VERY good situation

Here is a light version of simonsimons34's utility.
The only feature is lock or relock the bootloader.
OS : Windows (2000/XP/Vista/7/8) only.
Works with Wildfire S (GSM or CDMA) with unlockable bootloader (1.08.0099 or 1.09.0099)
Should works with MTD based HTC devices with unlockable bootloader
Doesn't work with eMMC based HTC devices
This tool is useless if you're already S-OFF !

If your s-off, it doesn't matter if it says locked as all security is open, you can flash roms radios and recovery, even if it says locked in bootloader.
Mine says locked in hboot but I can do whatever I want cause I have s-off.
hey guys i wanted to mention i do have emmc support now. For newer devices its honestly going to be way easier to just get soff as the partiton with unlock is the same as soff, and its relatively inaccessable.
