you need xtc clip to s-off your phone.
edit: just download cwm recovery from here
rename it to recovery.img
then connect phone with hboot (fastboot usb)
type,
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
you have now cwm recovery. if you have wildfire s 2012 this recovery will not work...you can check my signature for more info about 2012 model..you will find all links there..
and s-off not needed,its only needed if you want to change splash screen,dual boot,mtd partitions etc etc.
You can install CWM after unlocking the bootloader......you dont need s-off for that

Hello
I've just unlocked the bootloader of my wildfire s. But when I boot into HBOOT it says
UNLOCKED
S-ON
How do I get S-OFF.
I used the methode of htcdev.com and nothing went wrong.
Can anyone help me to get it S-OFF
Max
And yes I know that you don't suppost to put questions here but where I need to put I can't find.
Sorry if I get people angry
when you unlock bootloader using htcdev, it doesnt make it s-off
your device will still be s-on but the bootloader is unlocked
jes I know. But how do I get it now S-off so I can flash a custom revovery. Because it won't do that now.
Says CID isn't correct or invalid when I trie to flash one.
You can flash Alquez's unofficial clockwork mod recovery with no problems.

Xtc clip is the only way to get s-off right now.

Don't worry mate. You can install custom recoveries and roms on your phone even if it's an Unlocked S-ON. Mine's on Unlocked S-ON too. Currently using alquez' CM7 and CWM Recovery.
Go!
you should flash it with fastboot or there are auto installers for that, just search the forum

Try revolutionary ! It will S-Off your phone and install the revolutionary recovery. From then on you can flash other hboots or recovery's
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
revolutionary is not working with hboot 1.03 (1.02 and lower)
I think the only way is downgrade(if possible, don't know the way) and get root/s-off on lower hboot

Is it possible to downgrade without being s-off ? I am having doubts about that ? I am also still learning ;-)

Checked the STICKIE on troubles with hboot and s-off your phone. I just read there that you might flash a RUU that will get you to another bootloader.....

There is your problem. HTC official method doesn't give you the same freedom unofficial methods do. As far as I know there is no turn back yet, so bad luck for you, inform yourself better next time. htcdev gives you root but leaves hboot locked.

htc said:
Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

You can't change your bootloader because you are S-ON and you can't get S-OFF because methods to get S-OFF are based on original bootloaders, by installing HTC's new bootloader you have locked you out of getting S-OFF. HTC does only give you access to boot, recovery and system, is not full S-OFF and that includes a locked bootloader.
yeah you basically screwed yourself by using the official method. Ironic isnt it?
via xda app
Not sure why all the peripheral discussion around here makes it sound as if he's bricked his phone.
OP, I understand you've "successfully" unlocked the bootloader and want to flash cwmr. In that case, the solution is to download a .img image of cwmr, and flash it using the fastboot program:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or use any of the GUI tools for fastboot.
For all practical purposes, unlocked bootloader ought to be enough for you.
ok problem sovled
This method i have folow with some changes.
1) Unlock phone via HTC official process (registration required)
You are now unlocked S-ON but have no root access on the existing rom, however by doing it the official way you dont need to flash the radio anyway. I used the following steps to get CM7 installed on mine.
2) Downloaded ClockworkMod Recovery 5 (GSM not CDMA)
download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img
(i have download instead dl.dropbox.com/u/4518713/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-bravo.zip this from this topic)
(sorry - forum wont let me post urls yet)
3) reboot phone into fastboot
and plug in the usb
4) In the environment you set up for the HTC unlock process enter
(this means put the *.img file you downloaded in this file: C:/Android (with adb, fastboot)
open cmd, type:
"cd c:\Android"
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img" OR "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-bravo.img"
5)unplug the usb cable from your phone.
select bootloader press power to select
wait 20 sec
select recovery press power to select
if the flash was successful you will se the ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 OR 5.0.2.7
6) To navigate into ClockWorkMod Recovery
Use trackpad, not power to select
Yes, that's the age old method of flashing via hboot. Nothing new about it.
Android flasher can also be used to flash recovery right? And isn't it much easier?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
yes, for newbies. For us, we could probably finish flashing by the time you load it.

Yeah Android Flasher is a useful tool as I use it myself but I still believe that the manual way of doing it using command is the best way to go specially if you are having issues.
Hi everybody,
I want to know how to continue rooting my device.
I've unlock the Hboot with the htcdev.com page.

Now when you have access to recovery partition flash recovery img from fastboot:

Then boot to recovery and flash superuser apk as .zip file

Hi all, I'm sorry to ask this question again, but after a lot of checking I can't figure this out.
I have Android 2.3.5 (3.12.405.x), the phone is S-Off with bootloader 2.00.0029, and locked. I need to unlock it so I can flash a recovery and then root the thing to use Titanium backup to restore data to another phone.
The HTCdev method wipes all the data, right?

If you are s-off you can just flash a custom recovery directly. No need to unlock the bootloader.

You got those error because remote flash only allowed on unlocked and engineering bootloader.
You need to use hboot patch to install custom recovery by putting that zip files in the root of your sdcard. Reboot to bootloader and it will ask for a prompt to update. I am not sure whether this method still applicable to new bootloader (2.00.0029).

Hmmm. It's hard to find the right information for newer hboot.
I'm creating a pd98.zip now with a custom recovery. I'll update on how it goes.

You don't need to update anything, your hboot supports all roms.
