srsrooted desire hd - how to s-off - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
could anyone point me in the direction of a s-off program for use after rooting with srsroot.
most seem to link from other processes for rooting like visionary.
for example would it be an issue to use One click ENG S-OFF?
it's a Desire HD with superuser installed and Gingerbread 2.3.5 stock rom still installed.
unlocked bootloader with htcdev before srsroot.exe
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, was hoping someone could give me some direction as after attempting to root with aahk but running into a bootloader crash and having to reinstall original ruu a couple of times I finally decided to start from scratch.
unlocked through HTCDev and ran on srsroot without a lot of hope but for once it looked like it had gone fine. rebooted with superuser access and was able to install 4ext and busybox, granting root access with both.
But I now find that phone is still s-on which appears to mean I can't change the recovery to 4ext's touch option.
does anyone know of a suitable s-off programme which wouldn't be affected by srsroot being my programme of choice. many appear to point towards visionary.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

There are not any "one click" s off programs that will work on your firmware. You will have to downgrade to an exploitable radio,either using this software,or by using a manual guide.

gfree does it all ... if you follow the guide you'll be rooted, with s-off, eng-hboot, etc. As free as your phone can get.

sorry i meant to say doesnt help i want to unroot and get s on but when i use the hex edit method i guess i get unroot and s off still how would i do it through gfree
why do you want to unroot if I may ask?
i just got the phone on friday and i have a loose hinge
If you have S-OFF via gfree, then on the phone you need to run "./gfree -s on" (from the directory where gfree is stored) to get S-ON again.

thanks i temp rooted via rage then i s on rebooted and no super user and s was on perfect so now im going to re root and and my gfree backup to revert easily i hope

Rooting Desire

Hello guys.I have a HTC Desire with 2.29.405.2 firmware and 0.93 bootloader.I tried several methods to root it but i did not succed.I tried Unrevoked 3.32 but it says that the firmware is to new.!!!???I tried more manual methods as well but without any luck.Any sugestions?
Have you changed the hboot driver as per unrevoked instructions in the more info section?
If so, try removing the SD card prior to using unrevoked. Worked for a friend of mine

Or even better try 3.2

I had the same problem and 3.21 did the trick for me
same - i had to use 3.21 reflash_package.exe to get it working
i thought you could get it from http://downloads.unrevoked.com/ but can't seem to find it anymore...
logic would say its in something like http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash_package.exe

Try connecting it in disk drive mode, I know it says to connect in charge only but that's what I did after it said my firmware was too new and it worked for me

Rooting is goood! Thank you XDA!
I'm pretty new to the whole root/reflash game, so excuse me in advance if this is a nub question
I just used the unrevoked version linked above (3.21) and it seemed happy with rooting my phone (I'd tried other versions before that didn't work; and I did install the Hboot drivers linked in the unrevoked wiki). Now I'm not sure how to actually check if my phone is rooted properly. I've got the Superuser Permissions app installed courtesy of (AFAIK) unrevoked, but it's empty when I run it. My phone is still S-ON, but from what I understand I need to run AlphaRev to get it S-OFF.
Basically, in my current state is my phone rooted or unrooted? And what do I need to do to fully root it if it is unrooted?
Currently it reads the following when booted into recovery:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

Thanks XDA
Why not try downloading an app that requires root? and see if it works, something like Root Explorer possibly.
Superuser will be empty until an app that requires root permission is used then Superuser will ask to give it permission to run and save the details.
Hope this helps.
Is there any tutorial on how to install the Oxygen Hboot? I found some tuts to install custom Hboots which requires to type some commands, and I don't know where to to type them
edit: sorry, wrong thread!!!

Got any free apps that require root? Not sure I need to spend money on an app just to check if I have root :\
Also, I assume once I'm rooted I'll need an app to remove some of the stock apps that come loaded? Some of the apps on the phone I never use and don't need (Messages, Facebook, Flickr, and a couple others).

[Q] OTA updates after Custom ROMS

Hey guys,
This probably isn't just for DHD users but seeing as thats what im using i'll post it here!
So a while back i went through the custom ROM phase. I am by no means an expert in this area, im just able to follow instructions!
I rooted with visionary and went radio-off with the one click method (My phone was on 1.32). I gave a few ROMS a go and just preferred stock battery life etc so restored the stock ROM from my clockwork recovery back-up.
My question is how do i get my phone back to the state where it will receive official OTA updates from HTC (I've read that they wont work once you've done the S-off/radio-off procedure).
If its not possible to get it back to this state then what options do i have for getting official updates (say whenever HTC push the 2.3.3 ROM!)
Thanks Guys
easy way , run ruu updater utility for your phone but you loose all data and settings
Unroot it and install stock rom. You should be able to get total updates then

Yep, that's the guide to follow
That's the one. Use 1.32.405.6 RUU. Then you must turn your phone S-ON, you can follow the instructions in my radio s-off tool thread to do that.
Is this correct that if you root and have S-OFF you won't receive updates? I asked that question at the time of rooting and was told that I would still get updates?
The only reason I rooted was to get Adfree working and get other such apps for rooted devices.
My Rom is the 1.32.405.6 as I bought the DHD all I have done is root with Visionary and got S-OFF.

im in the same boat. wouldn't mind leaving my phone as is if id still recieve updates despite the root and s-off!
S-OFF does not disable OTA updates, but root does.

Oh so whenever there's an OTA available I can just unroot the phone? Or is it a little more complicated?!

I used the S-OFF tool and Visionary temp root then perm root. How would we go about restoring everything when it comes to being able to get the 2.3 update?
Kind of wish I didn't root now as I was told the oppisite that S-OFF and rooting wouldn't effect getting updates.
Edit: I just used attempt unroot with Visionary, the DHD rebooted and I used root checker from the market and it says I don't have root now. Would this be sufficient to get updates now do you think?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yep, that should be alright. If the OTA does not want to install, you can just flash HTC RUU and the issue will be fixed. You will get a notification about the OTA anyway, so you do not have to guess whether it works or not.
Thanks that's good to know that the update notification will come and that by unrooting fixes any problems. In the meantime until 2.3 comes I think I'll reroot
I only rooted in the first place to get things like Adfree and Drocap2 working.

[Q] Visionary+ like app

Before I updated my Desire to official Gingerbread 2.3.3, I had used Visionary+ to temp root my phone. It doesn't work with Gingerbread and also looks like the app has come to end of life.
I tried searching the forum and Google, found many solutions but only to perm root.
I don't want to downgrade or change any ROM or do perm root. I'm looking for temp root only, like with Visionary+. I install it in my phone click temp root and done.
If anyone knows about this app, please let me know. I'd appreciate it very much.
Gingerbread closes the exploit visionary+ used for temp root. As far as I am aware, there is no temp root app yet. Can I ask why you don't want perm root?

I only want root, nothing else. No different ROM or loader or other fancy stuff.
I don't think I can say give me perm root like visionary+ temp root but don't change any stuff in my phone. I sincerely hope I'm wrong here.
You can go perm root and still use your stock rom.. You don't have to change that if you don't want to.

Oh! I can. I tried unrevoked but it only talks about custom ROM. Am I misinterpreting something? Please advise.
Unrevoked doesn't work on GB. You have to use revolutionary.
Yes it opens the door for custom Roms, but you don't have to.

The FAQ in unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary says:
Does Revolutionary give me root?
No. You will need to flash this zipfile from recovery.
So this means I don't need revolutionary for rooting?
How to flash that file from recovery?
You need first revolutionary, then recovery then you can flash zip. You need s-off first provided by revolutionary to get root. You can't get it without it

[Q] Anyone ever had problems with Revolutionary?

Hey-
I want to S-OFF my phone but I am a little cautious towards doing it, and want to see if anyone has ever had any problems?(Brick/bad flashes etc)

No issues what so ever mate.
When I found this method it was a god send, worked first time on my first attempt at rooting.
I have since flashed RUU's and revolutionary sticks around so no need to re-do this method.
Message me if u want a full guide
No..everything works fine for me.
I didn't have any problems, just read the instructions though

nope ! never had problems. let the revolutionary do its thing and your next step is flashing the rom you want..
No problems whatsoever, just get the right drivers, and do what it tells you to do.

No but i remember having to run through unrevoked again after flashing an RUU. Possibly to add root/SU app again as i think the RUU i used removed the super user ninja app. But Revolutionary stayed on the HBOOT screen. And unrevoked took like 2 mins to complete
make sure ur RUU is version 2.1 or lower in order to use unrevoked tho
No, at the end it will ask you if you want to root your phone as well, not a big deal
I had... because I installed a 2.2.1 froyo rom, and due to that, i was unable to reinstall newers rom versions. It kept the S-OFF, but kind off "broken". The problem was solved, using this tutorial! hope it will help U.

I just Rooted it yesterday and had no problems with S-off or root.
Used the guide in the wildfire android devolopment (i did it with froyo and hboot .002)
