How to unlock hboot or S-OFF my branded WFS ?

Hi there !
I would like to S-OFF or unlock bootloader of my Orange FR branded WFS. HTCdevs method does note seem to work, ROM or bootloader is too wreid and not supported by official orange hboot updater from htcdevs. After some tricks (goldcard I guess), I succeed in installing "Europe hboot" from htcdevs, but it doesn't help in any way : fastboot oem command returns an error 1, command error . Hboot might be too old to know these commands.
By searching on XDA, I found a tool called temproot that allows me to root the phone until I reboot it.
my HBoot version is 0.90.0000 and radio 7.53.39.03M.
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
HTC drivers, andro SDK, Java, debuging mode,... are probably ok. I use Windows 7x64 and Linux Mint.
I think I said everything. If you want more details or explainations, I'll do my best to answer preciselly, even if I'm a noob .
Thanks !

The unlockable European HBOOT is version 1.08.0099, so I take this to mean that you successfully updated to a generic EU HBOOT (0.90.0000) which is not unlockable, but can be updated to 1.08.0099. Thus,

So you need to go back to htcdev and update your HBOOT to the unlockable one. When you do, HBOOT will show:
*** LOCKED (OOW) ***
H-BOOT-1.08.0099

Thanks for (very) fast answer and making me realize that I successfuly downgraded my HBoot (that's what I was searching to do).
I believed that it should allow me to upgrade with unlockable HBoot too, but I forgot to say that when I try to update HBOOT the way htcdev tells using their HTC_EU-1.09.0099 / ORANGE_FR-1.09.0099 / Any 1.08.0099 HBoot, I get an error 191, my ROM is NOT up to date. I have no ROM update possible with my f****** provider custom ROM. Is it possible to change this ROM to the official HTC ROM (using my temp rooting and adb shell or I don't know what), so that I can get last updates, flash HBoot with HTC_EU-1.09.0099 and get custom ROM (such as CM7.2) ?
Or I am thinking wrong on the way it works (probably the case : I learned everything alone) ?
Edit : I believe that this would have worked, if the given link weren't dead.......... Uploading website are all closed. That's a shame.
Thank you,
KennyG9

Try this:
1. Run the RUU...exe for updating the HBOOT again but don't try to update. Instead, find the temporary folder it created to extract the files needed for the install. It will look something like C:\Users\[LoginName]\AppData\Local\Temp\{82B23FCD-D5D0-45CA-A3A2-5350D3926551}.
2. In one of the subfolders, find rom_02.zip from and copy it to another location on your hard drive. Rename it PG76IMG.zip. You can close the RUU wizard now.
3. Move PG76IMG.zip to the root folder of your Goldcard.
4. Boot the phone into HBOOT (turn it off, pull the battery for 5 sec. and replace it, hold down volume and press the power button). Once in HBOOT, the phone will find PG76IMG.zip and try to install it. Follow the directions on the screen.
5. Do a factory reset and reboot.

It worked finally . You're so beautiful !
For interested people, you can get rom_01.zip and rom_02.zip. It corresponds to PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.09.0099_0209_R.exe file. (Orange FR 2.14.73.1 PG7610000)
Thank you very very much.

software s-off????
After spending 3 days trying to upgrade my hboot so i could unlock my bootloader, i somehow ended up with s-off! here are the steps i followed.
1) try updates from htcdev - didnt work
2) made goldcard, tried updates - didnt work
3) gained temp root using adb and zergrush, worked
4) hex edited the rom version number - didnt work
5) placed rom_2 on sd card - worked, sort of, updated the radio, but not the bootloader, "cannot rollback hboot"
6) placed rom_1 on sd card -worked, updated the radio
7) went into hboot to try to flash rom_2 again, voila! s-off!!!!
dont ask me if this is a way to s-off devices without xtc clip, all i know is it is what has worked for me, so i thought i would share.

HELP.

So...you can only boot into your bootloader?

I've tried the RUU and when it reboots from fastboot-usb to bootloader, it just comes back to fastboot-usb and then fails the update.

Correct. If I try to go into recovery, it goes to the htc screen and goes no further. Factory Reset does the same thing.

You have to use Ace Hack Kit to unroot. Flashing the RUU will not unroot your phone it may cause issues instead.

That is weird. If you are S-OFF you should be able to flash any RUU as should have superCID. There is something strange there. Do the following please. Plug the phone with usb debugging and open a cmd in the PC as admin. Then type:
adb shell getprop
paste here the INFOmain version and INFOcidnum. Also make sure that you are S-OFF.

Thread can be marked as solved.
I put the first 2 lines from the bootloader into google and a thread on android forums came up.
Advised go into bootloader then, connect phone select fastboot and then run ruu. I could see fastboot but didnt have the option to select it. So I blindly ran the RUU and boom it worked.
Thanks for all your assistance.

You are S-Off, so you can simply flash a recovery and flash a ROM from there. Go to the Ace Think Tank in General and look at the guide provided there. You want the section titled "S-Off no recovery."

Mistake
my mistake, the phone is S-ON, is there any way to unlock that, remember i can use ADB commands only fastboot.

No matter what I try to do, I can't get past this menu.
WHAT I DID
Plugged phone into computer, typed the command, "fastboot oem lock". I haven't done anything else, but I can't get it unlocked no matter what I try. If I try to fastboot a rom it won't allow me
. I've tried two different RUU's to get back to stock, but everytime it says
Code:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot
My phone was previously rooted to this, I still have Paranoid Android and Clockwork on it, I just can't access them. I can't access anything but the HBOOT/FASTBOOT menu. I've been trying for days to fix this, but I'm really at a standstill. I have no idea how I can fix this and I just want to use my phone again. Can someone please try to help me :crying:

search for the link for a stock ruu. follow the instructions for installing it. I think you'll end up pulling the boot image from the stock ruu, renaming it pg32img.zip and putting it on your sd card in the main area not a folder. let the boot loader pick it up and you're back in business.

You locked it, so it isnt going to boot anything not signed by HTC. Try running "fastboot oem unlock" to unlock it again. If that works, you should be able to boot whatever you have installed. Flashing an RUU wont work, unless you can find one for the 6.xx update, the bootloader wont let you flash anything with a lower main version than your current one, which can only be 6.xx because of your radio version.

I've tried fastbook oem unlock a bunch of times. It says it worked on my computer but the phone will still say relocked. And alright, at least you narrowed down what version I have to look for.
EDIT:
I've tried using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27463473
All it does is load the PG32IMG.zip, checks it, then goes back to the HBOOT screen.

Did you get the HTC token again that you used to unlock the first time? If not, not go back into htcdev.com and follow all of directions. After you have it all in fastboot type in
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin

yes I tried that I even tried factory reset and all it comes up with is a phone and a red triangle with a exclamation point and then it goes back to the the boot menu what should I do...Is there any files I can download to make it start up again

I have the same problem, its Locked with S-on, stuck in the bootloader, and my pc won't recognize it when its plugged in, only "unknown device". But when plugged in, it does say "fastboot usb" or "hboot usb plug", so it does recognize when its plugged in. I've tried 2 RUU signed and flashed files, the phone reads it but just goes back to hboot. Any ideas?
