I saw this too while i was searching but if i tried that i will be gone back to stock froyo ! Any help ?

Is it just a matter of not wanting to reinstall KitKat?

Sorry, the only way to get s-off is to downgrade to stock froyo. Once the s-off patch is flashed, you can install any rom you want, you won't lose s-off. You can even make a nandroid of your kitkat installation before downgrading and restore it after you're done, everything will be the same except you'll have s-off.
The s-off patch only works on the froyo radio, and unless you're s-off, the only way to flash the froyo radio is to downgrade to stock froyo as described in the guide.

[Q] unable to get eng s-off on leedroid 1.51

Today i have flashed the latest leedroid rom but i am now unable to flash the matching radio im guessing this is down to my phone being ship s-off not eng s-off. previous to the new update i was able to flash radios with no problem now i get REMOTE NOT ALLOWED. i have tried putting my phone back to eng s-off but get an error "incompatible ROM/Kernal with the easy s-off tool.
How would i be able to get eng s-off back to flash the radio?
any help would be greatly appieciated.

the eng s-off tool isnt compatible with newer roms with custom kernels, do a nandroid backup of your current rom, then flash an older based rom with a STOCK HTC KERNEL. run the s-off tool, then restore your backup

Thats correct. Good to know. You learn something everyday.
From the One click S-OFF Thread:
System requirements:
•Windows XP SP2 or higher
•.NET Framework 3.5
•HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
•Desire HD with original kernel (or Buzz 1.0.7 / 1.1.4 Sense). It is best to use STOCK ROM (lower than 1.7x)! The new HTC radio does not work.
Thank you that worked a treat. why didn't i yhink of that...

No i just flashed an old cyanogenmod rom that i had on my pc and that worked just fine.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
is your phone ENG S-OFF or SHIP S-OFF? (written at the top of the screen in the bootloader)
to flash radio, you need both Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF.
and what exactly does the error say in adb.

If you wana stay stock, best just flash the rooted stock image which can be found in the dev section.
thanks...figured that would be the best thing, just wanted to ask to be sure
I followed these instructions and was fine. I prefer to keep my own ROM.

well since you want to go back to 2.3.3 you'll have to use revolutionary.io to achieve s-off. Its the same steps except your substituting the froyo ruu with the gingerbread one and you root with revolutionary instead of unrevoked

No, you won't need to do anything after flashing the ROM. You'll be unrooted and S-ON.
You would only need unrevoked (or Revolutionary, in this case) if you were trying to unlock your NAND (S-OFF).
So all I need to do is flash and there will be no traces of root?

After updating the misc partition you can downgrade to a version rootable through unrevoked. You go to step 11 and flash the PC36IMG.zip it will downgrade you to froyo 2.2. But if you want to downgrade to 2.3 flash a gingerbread RUU(posted one in first page of thread) instead of a froyo one

[Q] How can I update my hboot for S-OFF?

I want to update my HTC Desire (AMOLED) with the current hboot of 0.75.
For revolutionary I need a hboot of 0.93. So, what's the best way to do it? I can't find a good tutorial. Can I simply download the hboot image from anywhere and flash it via CWM 2.x?
Is the current ROM safe or have I to reinstall it?
Thanks!

Use alpharev and follow the instructions there.
It is recommended that you return to rooted stock ROM before you S-OFF but it is not essential (I didn't).

Most roms wont work. Its certainly safest and best practice.
Thanks for reply!
Today I installed a prerooted stock froyo rom, but Alpharev won't work. Here's the error.
Is there another simple way to update the hboot to 0.93 so I can use revolutionary?
I believe you can flash the official Gingerbread rom found on HTCdev site. This will upgrade your rom to Gingerbread as well as your hboot. Then use revolutionary to s-off.

I'm still paranoid about that piece of crap. Please don't, just use a stock 2.2 RUU, anyone you want if you have a goldcard (preferably 2.2)
you can try alpharev

[Q] Help requied with rooting

Hi all,
I recently got an old DHD running stock gingerbread.The phone is from T-mobile and network unlocked. I wanted to s-off and root in order to flash custom roms so I downgraded the firmware to froyo 1.24.405.1 WWE from here. After that I tried visionary tool and succeeded in temproot but it always hanged on permroot with a blank screen and battery pull is required to reboot. Now, I am stuck with froyo with no ota updates available. Anyone please guide me stepwise to root and s-off. I'll really appreciate it. Further details:
HBOOT 0.85.0004
RADIO 26.02.00.29_M4
BASEBAND 12.27.60.14bU_26.02.00.29_M4
what the details of your bootloader state..?
firstly you must removed temproot from visionany...and also removed visionary too from your phone..or to do all that...you can factory reset from bootloader..
after that...you can using AAHK2 script by phiber2000 to fully unlock and s-off your bootloader..just read the thread in here...
after you had successfully unlock and s-off by that script...you must flashing a stock rom that are already rooted and modified by phiber2000 from that thread too..(this is important to make your phone that will had the latest eng hboot and latest gb rom that are already rooted)
after that you can backup that stock rom and installing any custom rom you want from custom recovery..
hope this help...and good luck..
