You can not get s-off through the official HTC unlocked bootloader. Skip all of this and go to the xda wiki, follow instructions on how to downgrade and root there

Yup, but why on htcdev.com we can... ? It's official trick to get off security...

Well it isn't, all it does is allow minimal security flags to be removed, enough to open up a few fastboot commands. It can allow you to flash a custom ROM but it will not give you s-off and it will give more headaches then anything else

Anyone to help plz

Superwipe is a good idea so I'm glad your @ least doing this, it may be easier to help if you give more info, is this happening from the very first custom rom, after root? What method did you use to root? Can you write down everything on bootloader screen (mostly want to know ship soff or eng soff) can you name your recovery? Can you name the roms you have tried?

Glad U're helping me sir. This problem is there from the day I rooted and installed my first rom cyanogen mod 7 Actually mine is ship s- off, I used the wiki.cyanogen g2rooting guide and another one for getting sd card golden. First I used clockwork mod recovery now I'm using the latest in 4ext recovery. Now I'm currently using andromadus mimicry 1.5.0 its working perfectly with many softwares until I restart if I do 'hot reboot' no problem occurs
These are the list of roms I tried and problem starts wen I restart or switch off my mobile and then switch on:
1.andromadus audacity beta5
2.cyanogen mod rc9.0
3.Android_SpeedDaemon_Fantasia_v1.0.0_vision
4. G2slim1.6
5. MikRunny-v1.0-DeOdex-signed
6. RCMix.Energized.7.26.2012.Fixed.Kernel_Ver2
7. Strawmetal-1.Mi.V2.0
8. sensewich1
And many others too
Plz help!

Well you are best to get true s-off with an engineering spl. I assume you either missed a step in the guide you followed or you went with the official htc unlocked bootloader. Either way you can fix this, and I suggest you do
Pretty much you need to relock the bootloader, then downgrade, reroot and flash the eng hboot along with everything else.
The best guides to follow to root and soff are
Cyanogen wiki
Xda wiki
Strawmetals pdf guide.
You can google search these easy or if I get a minute then ill link you. But first you need to relock your bootloader
I believe it is something like
Fastboot oem lock bootloader
I can't recall of hand but nipqer has a guide on this
If I get some time ill get you links, but for now just search a bit and read up, good luck!

Just boot into fastboot mode
Type fastboot devices, if you see yours then proceed
fastboot oem lock
Now do
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This should bring you back to hboot, if it says ship s-on then your good and you can proceed to root and gain true s-off
If you continue to have trouble log onto freenode irc #g2root, just google it if you can't find it, there is a link in the xda wiki for rooting the vision

I have s-off but no root!

right guys, i managed to install a custom from through recovery which was the bliss 4.0 rom but it ended up being a bit laggy so i went into hboot mode and installed the 2.2 (1.34) again from the sd card pc10.zip (automatic update) and now it seems that i cannot do anything through rom manager now. I have downloaded an app to check if my device is rooted or not and it says "not rooted".
i am new to this and have followed a few guides to get to where i am and cannot seem to root my device at all. my statistics are:
vision pvt ship s-off
hboot-0.85.0005
microp--425
radio-26.03.02.18.m3
eMMc-boot
oct 11 2010.20:10:38
fastboot
recovery
factory reset
simlock
image rc.
what do i do to get permanent root??
thankyou very much.
Search googl for
"Cyanogen wiki htc g2 root"
Or
"Xda htc vision root"
You will have to relock your bootloader before following either guide

fastboot oem lock
I presume you use the "offical htc unlocked bootloader" to obtain s-off. You dont have true soff as you still have a shipped spl, you will need to relock your bootloader, downgrade then follow the rooting process from the cyanogen or xda wiki

what do i downgrade to, im already on 2.2 version 1.34,
no need to downgrade, no need to lock your bootloader, just follow the root instructions.

Get the superuser zip from androidsu.com and flash through recovery
That is ALL that needs to be done if you already have a custom recovery

[Q] Unlocking problem [Yet another one]

This must be the millionth thread about failing in unlocking the Wildfire S, but I'm really stock at this point, therefor I need your help :angel:
I have seen a lot of tutorials about how-to
But they all start with, go to www.htcdev.com, so I did.
I tried to install the HTC EUR RUU, but it failed
[Not supported rom]
So, I tried it with the PG76IMG package, but it said
[Main version is older]
And when I try to get the id token from fastboot it says:
[FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
finished. total time: 0.003s]
So, now I'm kinda stuck, how can I unlock this **..
My phone spec:
Android 2.3.5 (GSM)
Software: 2.26.161.1
Marvel PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 1.09.0099
If your hboot says locked at the top skip the ruu part pal.

Thanks! Good to know.
But then the 3th problem occurs.
When I do fastboot oem get-identification-token, I'm getting 'FAILED' (like posted in my first post)

Redo the step from HTC dev... Use the proper ruu from HTC... Since urs is not European... I'm not sure actually which region.... Search yr software version in Google to find out...

In HBOOT it says on top in pink "*** LOCKED ***".
heavy_metal_man just said that this should be good.
No.. u need to apply ruu from htcdev first.. go to HTC dev they guide u...
Its a 22 mb ruu I think.. for Euro, some may be higher...

1.09.0099 is unlockable, no need to flash ruu. You only have to flash ruu if you have an old unlockable bootloader.
Check the fastboot command carefully, is it identification or identifier you need to type.

Getting S-OFF is equivalent to unlocking the bootloader.

Locked is S-On if I'm not mistaken. Unlocked is S-Off.

I get your uneasiness, but in the simplest terms, if the bootloader is S-ON and not HTCDev unlocked, it is locked.
You can unlock the bootloader from the HTCDev website, but there are caveats for flashing custom ROMs, namely that the boot.img file needs to be extracted from the ROM and flashed separately using fastboot.
The easier approach is to use the methods outlined to gain S-OFF. This gives you more control not only to flash custom ROMs, but also unsigned radios.
I tried it both ways (HTCDev and S-OFF). I'm much happier being S-OFF.
