Your s-off, this takes priority.
Just flash ROM direct after full wipe.

You are S OFF that's the idea behind AHHK2! To check that - power off your phone, then power it on with volume key down pressed, see the info on top of the screen it should say "... S-OFF..."
S-Off, Make Sure you did the Mandatory Wipes

Hello guys, my sisters WFS is on build 2.26.707.2, could anyone guide me on how to s-off the WFS? the whole bootloader part i can't understand but recovery i do as i'm using a galaxys2.
The only way to S-off the GSM variant ATM is via XTC-Clip...............For know the only free way to root is by unlocking the bootloader.
To see if your current software is unlockable....Switch on your phone while holding the Vol down key.......this will result in opening the bootloader........if it says LOCKED on the top..........then your bootloader is unlockable
Proceed to step 1 on HTCdev,com

There is no way to S-OFF without an xtc clip regardless of what you're currently running. Fortunately you don't need to S-OFF in order to install custom roms, like csoulr666 said you'll need to visit htcdev.com and follow the instructions there. That will unlock your bootloader, but also invalidate your warranty.
For unlocking only
Try this link for unlocking without voiding warranty.
Hi guys...
I am losing it here....pulling my hair out...
I have rooted and flashed roms on a Gnex and a HTC Incredible S and I have never encountered so many dam problems doing so...
The DHD is a pain in the rear. I have GB 2.3.5 and I tell you what...GRRRR haha
I gave in and went with the HTCDEV (Official Method) and I'd like someone to tell me what the F*&K that actually does....I thought it unlocked your bootloader....nope...
Theres a big UNLOCKED in the HBOOT but it means jack... I can flash recovery, then I try and flash CM7 for example and the thing wont boot...WTF??? So do i still need to go S-OFF anyway?? IF so, HTC WTF??? Whats the point in this stupid "unlocking" crap....so annoying... If anyone could help me understand this I would be much. much appreciative...
Thanks in advance...
you have to get ENG S-OFF before you can flash custom ROMs. Relock your bootloader and use AAHK (search it on Google, attn1 removed it from xda) to get super cid (SIM Unlock), root, CWM & ENG S-OFF

You don't need eng S-OFF to flash ROMs, S-OFF is OK. you need to flash the boot.IMG for the ROM separately when flashing ROMs on a HTC dev unlocked device. That's why I doesn't boot after flashing a new ROM. Relock it and use the advanced ace hack kit.

Thanks guys....
*sigh*.... I've been on this now for like 30hrs straight... I actually have root an everything and it still wont s-off.... I'm trying to downgrade now and that wont work either....goldcard and everything... I've looked for the Hack Kit too... I must be looking in the wrong places... I cant find it or I'm just too annoyed to see straight...haha
Just want to say i really appreciate your answers guys...
Sorry, I wouldnt normally ask but I'm just spaced...can anyone point me in the direction of the kit...probably not as its a little sensitive I know...just putting it out there...
Thanks again guys... I feel sort of lost now...like wtf ya know... haha
Cheers.
EDIT:
I did find something and it looks pretty bad...haha (Slow your bootloader??? jam you up?? I dont like the sound of that...haha)
Do NOT attempt to install earlier ENG HBOOTs on these models. AAHK now has Hboots that safely support fastboot image flashing.
Doing this WILL severely degrade bootloader performance on Inspires and DHDs and causes issues trying to install RUUs. In other words, it WILL jam you up. (Note: Issue confirmed on later DHDs – ignore at your own risk).
Sense 3, including those with RELOCKED HTC BOOTLOADERS (NOTE: NOT UNLOCKED – MUST BE LOCKED OR RELOCKED) is auto-detected in hack step. Option is given to download a GB RUU and downgrade or abort. This WILL wipe data.
6 days ago I decided to unlock my phone with HTC dev and I tell you what, that is useless! Fortunately I found a guide that save my life! Firts relock the phone then you have to downgrade with AAHK and finally always with AAHK you can unlock the phone and root it. That's what I've done, that was my first time so I apologize with you if I wrote something that you already know! Sorry for bad English!

QUestion. How do you relock your phone after HTCDev unlock? I love to know because I too ave spent too many hours working on this dam phone...
Anyway a work around for this is to find the rom.img of the rom you want to put on your phone and put it in your pc file where you have fastboot. Then flash the new ROM onto your phone normally. Then go into bootloader, fast boot and make sure you have fastboot usb set up. Then you neeed to open the cmd window and navigate to the folder with fastboot in it anf type in fastboot flash boot boot.img . Once this is done reboot the phone and your new custom rom will work fine.
However if someone can tell me hoe to rook and then use aahk I would prefer o use that and go o s-off....
HTCdev has instructions on relocking the boot loader. Basically the same step where you types 'fastboot oem bootloader unlock' or something like that, replace unlock with lock and it will lock it. If you want to use AAHK to get S-off, I suggest you run an RUU and get your phone to complete factory state before doing it. I don't know if it'll work by relocking an unlocked bootloader, so RUU seems to be the safest method (recommended by AAHK).

Well according to your own post you already have hboot 2.00.0029 which is the one from htc dev, you need to unlock it using the unlocktoken.bin from htc dev, you did follow ALL the instructions at htc dev including the email they sent you,?
Once you unlock bootloader flash a custom recovery best one is probably 4ext
Flash a new new rom then flash the boot.img.
Look around the forums for more info.

Sorry for my late response, I had a day very responsible
bananagranola here the precise you ask me :
1. I use the application Ultimate Multi Tool 2.5.0 and I try the operations "S-OFF/Super CID/SIM unlock" and I get "Unknown error. Probably lost connection"
view image umt.jpg
2. for the method for downgrade I don't remember
3.For the unlock bootloader from HTCdev I get this message "ERROR [191]: Rom is not supported
view image error 191.jpg
I hope that this time, it is clear
One thing you should Know this phone was already been sim unclock, but after a technical problem the phone was going to after sale service of SFR who changed the mother board. And now He don't wante to sim unclock because my new IME is not record on here computer and we lose the bill

Well, that it is easy to solve. Relock your bootloader by booting in fastboot and typing:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the script. :good:

I just followed all of the steps to unlock the bootloader through HTCDev, but I'm having trouble in getting it to an unlocked state. Every time I flash the unlock_code.bin in fastboot, it prompts me if I want to unlock the bootloader, I select yes and the device formats and restarts. After I go through the initial setup again and enable usb debugging to reboot into fastboot, the status of the phone is still locked. Is there some step I missed to unlock this phone or is there a problem with HTCdev?

I had trouble when I unlocked mine, but not with what you're describing. When I received my initial unlock code, I had done the HTCdev method with choosing one (M8) for my phone and the file would not flash. I re-ran HTCdev choosing "all other devices" and everything worked like a charm. Worth a shot.
I ended up getting it working by downloading the latest software update and trying again. I was just trying to get a GPE rom on here quickly because sense was aggravating me so much. Hopefully this helps anyone else that ends up having this problem!
Remember to get s-off first

It sounds like that is already bootloader unlocked. Boot into recovery and see if it's stock or not. If recovery is stock, you need to install twrp or cwm then you can flash a rom. If one of those is already there you're ready to flash a rom already. Instructions on installing recoveries and roms, etc are here in the forums if you do a quick search.
