I have rooted and unlocked my Desire HD from HTC's website with filename.bin .
I searched for a while but I was just confused. There is a lot of bad english and bad explanation. I stumbled on a tool called "Deathscream's S-OFF tool" which for some people works but for other it's bricking their devices. So thanks, but no thanks.
So my simple question is:
What's the best way to S-OFF a rooted and unlocked device which has a custom rom, preferably w/o downgrade-ing?
Thank you.

what i know is..there is AAHK2 script by Phiber2000 in here that can s-off the unlocked bootloader but the script already including process downgrading and will tell you if the hboot needed process downgrading first before s-off process..
if the script needed stock rom file for downgrading..you can search in here..find the right stock rom that suitable with your CIDnum of your phone..
hope this help..
I forgot to mention that I'm on Windows 8.1 so no luck under Windows. But I do have a live usb with ubuntu on it. The script requires Windows 7 or 8 and I'm not reinstalling my OS just for this. Also I don't have an sd card from those brands mentioned in that thread(which is a silly requirement).

What i know is i think that's script can running on windows 8.1 too..because i don't see reason why that script can't running on 8.1..i don't know if i missed something..
About the sd card brands..maybe silly to hear that first..but i'm sure that's important things to prepare before running that's script for success fully s-off the device..
Just imagine that the bootloader is like your bios on your pc n you can ask your self how much important the media itself to put and loading a bios file for flashing your bios..
Hope this help...sorry for my bad english..

No luck for Windows 8.1 because there are no HTC drivers for 8.1

Thanks for the advice but I did that already before and ****ed up my USB 3.0 ports and then some. When I turn on my PC my mouse and keyboard don't work (they are in different USB 2.0 ports) and my HD which is in 3.0 stops every couple of minutes which is driving me mad. I need to reinstall all my USB drivers soon.
As for the phone I'll do it from linux, from scratch, or from another PC.

mmm how can do
S-OFF your Desire using Revolutionary.
http://revolutionary.io/
Conquered the same problem
Hello there,
I ran into the same problem yesterday. My desire was double bricked haha. At first I had my Desire to the level that I could only get into the Fastbootmode, the Bootloader and the Recovery by using faulty downgrade software. Then I got the great idea to use some RUU's and I managed to brick the phone to the level you're at right now. I managed to solve this problem by using the official 2.3 upgrade RUU from HTC (you can download this at the HTCdev website). Still want to jump in the custom rom pool? Use the Revolutionary root&S-OFF tool.
Hope I helped

That's no reason for creating two threads. If anybody can help you and sees your thread, he will answer you, no matter you created one or two threads. Furthermore, answers might be posted double or even more and you can be confused by that and do something wrong, which in the worst case bricks your phone.

Do you mean AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit)? If so, could you post the output from when you try to use AAHK?
you can do it thru windows, just remember to turn off all security features or the root will fail.

If you are using AAHK, maybe you skipped to use start it with administrator permisson....right click on AAHK and run as admin.....
and dont forget to check your Desire HD drivers again at your windows....

sri, that is pretty clear, isn´t it? Have you installed the driver included in the tools>windrivers folder with the phone unplugged?
If you are not sure, then uninstall the drivers, unplug the phone. Install it again and then plug the phone and let it install correctly. Make sure that you use the oem cable and if that is not working try using a different oem cable and a different 2.0 usb port (it won´t work on a 3.0)
And make sure to
Disable any antivirus you have before unzipping the aahk

Sorry for my stupid question, but how do i distinguish between USB 2.0 and 3.0 on my laptop. Since I am also having the same problem while running AAHK. Also, what should I do if I can't find the htc driver after installing it.

Normally the usb 3.0 ports are blue
About the driver: Why would you want to find it? The important thing is that it is installed so your computer recognizes the phone correctly.
But anyway, on my PC I have a folder in the start menu named HTC, subfolder HTC Driver. You could use that as an indication for the driver being installed.
Only Install the htc drivers contained in the hack kit

Hi friendly XDA peeps
I need some urgent n00b help. I've had an HTC Desire/Bravo for about 2 years now. Waaaaaaay back I managed to S-Off and root the thing, get the Revolutionary fastboot on and load MIUI. I want to reset the thing back to "stock". I downloaded the 2.3 RUU for flashing, but I'm running into the following problems:
I'm running Windows 8, so getting drivers is nigh on impossible
Connecting the phone via USB to the PC picks it up fine under device manager
Connecting the phone via USB under FASTBOOT results in the device not being recognized
ADB picks the device up fine when it's started up
Executing the RUU works fine until it gets to fastboot, where Windows doesn't recognize the device again and just hangs there
So I'm pretty desperate at this stage... It seems the device is USB bricked. I'd REALLY like to factory reset this thing with the RUU, but I'm out of ideas as to what to do now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
EDIT: Crappers, saw it's in the wrong section. Should be under Troubleshooting. Please move this thread...

Problem is, that the phone is USB bricked and I cant find usable fastboot drivers for Windows 8 to run the fastboot command to unbrick it... Even flashing a RUU just hangs in fastboot, because Windows doesn't recognize the device when it's in fastboot mode.

Theres a thread in desire general i think and its by K3lcior and he shows how to get drivers installed on windows 8. Find a post by him then go to his profile and look at threads strated by him n u will find it.
Also, if ur still s-off try flashing 4ext recovery as PB99IMG (in my sig) and use the unbrick option. But i think its because of windows 8, not usb brick.
Ok, I managed to find a Windows 7 PC at work today and loaded the necessary drivers. Performed the fastboot fix and flashed the RUU. Thanks for the patience and info!
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
If you are still s-off you can flash 4ext recovery through fastboot , run usb unbrick function if you are even usb bricked , and then
flash PB99IMG.zip version of 2.3.3 RUU
What is it today with people posting what i already posted? Jeez read before posting + he got it sorted.

Hello,
First, if its a very noobish question, sorry! I want to root my wildfire. I have read a lot of forums/threads but have some struggles.
My phone have been 2 times to HTC because it rebooted from itself. In the shop they said: The software behind the software is updated.
In bootloader? (power on and volume down) i get these information:
Buzz PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0001
There doesn't stand anywhere Locked or Unlocked in purple. The only thing is S-On
Now i start with rooting i get some troubles like i first said.
I installed htc sync and deleted it. and used Revolutionary : <waiting for device>
Then another thread gives htc drivers so i used them in device manager.
It goes well, beta key accepted and all. -> Rooting then comes the following message: Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. ( i use the original usb charger cable)
Yet i look on other threads they say, try again and i will work. I tried everything, New drivers, As Admin, Without sd card, with sd card, without sim, with sim. And so on.
Because i own an mac too i tried it on my mac with unrevoked3. Without any good results.
is there anyone who can help me, or know a solution.
i have read somewhere you don't necessarily need s-off is this true?
I would like to install this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958275
Thanks in advance, Sorry for my ****ty englisch but its not my native language

What kind of usb port are you using? Is your on a big pc use one of the ports on the back and not the front, also make sure it's a usb2 port and not a usb 3
Port. Also make sure to uninstall any programs that interfere or use adb. Lastly if all the above is correct then simply use a different port, or at a push a different pc. May be easier than trying to work out what the conflict is. Keep at it with revolutionary though

As you suspect windows 8 is your issue. Do you have access to any windows 7 computers?
If not you can download an image of ubuntu and boot into it and use the linux version of revolutionary
