[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.

[Q] help needed can i flash ARHD or stock f/w i am s-on

I have .708 you can see in the image attached bellow i on STOCK ROM, UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER with ROOT and CUSTOM RECOVERY BUT S-ON
i am not able s-off with firewater i just need ARHD soo can i flash it on my S-ON device or S-ON is needed if yes than can any one guide me to flash stock latest version + rooted ... with S-ON.. thanks

Nope, you can't. You need S-Off to update firmware. *DON'T* flash ARHD without S-Off/updating firmware. Trust me, I made the mistake. Wait for OTA, or go S-Off

Not able to s off
I was trying hard for s-off m not able to do it with firewater and i m a student i cant pay 25$ to use sunshine

[Q] What HBOOT do i need to update my HTC One M8?

Hi,
I'm going to upgrade my rooted and unlocked HTC One M8 International version (From Norway, not a Sprint, Verizon or any american brand) to a custom Android 4.4.4 ROM, but what HBOOT and radio version should I download?
If you know, can you give me a download link to both of them?
As of now I want to flash this ROM, do I need to update my HBOOT or anything else using ClockWorkMod?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744448
The phone is unlocked with HTC Dev, but what is the difference between S-On and S-Off?
Information about the phone from recovery if needed, don't really know what you need:
Got a 4.4.3 stock ROM installed which is rooted and ClockWorkmod v6.0.4.8
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.18.0.0000
RADIO-INVALID_VER_INFO (Probably the stock radio installed).
OPENDSP-INVALID_VER_INFO
OS- eMMc-BOOT 2048MB
Just tell me if you need more information.
Thanks

With bootloader unlocked, you can install custom recovery, root (obviously, since already have) and flash ROMs. S-off is only required for certain things. However, changing the hboot is one of them (unless you do so by "official" means like OTA); as well as flashing the radio and SIM unlock.
I'm not an AOSP user, so hopefully someone who is can answer your other questions (required hboot, radio, etc.)

With your current bootloader, you're all fine and good to go! Just remember to do a nandroid backup and a full wipe before proceeding onto flashing PA on your device!

A wipe and nandroid backup will do

Are you sure? Because the hboot for 4.4.4 is 3.19, not 3.18.
I know on Sense based ROMs you need the 4.4.4 firmware which comes with the hboot.

If it doesn't work, you can download the new firmware/hboot here

I will do a test without flashing the hboot first on Friday. If it fails, I'll flash it. Thanks!

ADB.
Or you could use this method, which is the way I do it.

AFAIK, in general HTC's firmware changes only affect Sense ROMs, not AOSP.
Although, its a always a good idea to see if a particular AOSP ROM requires a particular hboot. There is no blanket yes/no answer to this question IMO and its a good idea to do your research when flashing a particular ROM.

Question about 4.4.4 OTA and root

Gentleman (and why not, ladies):
Installed yesterday a stock GPE 4.4.3 version on my M8. I'm S-ON, stock recovery and rooted.
Just received the info for the 4.4.4 OTA update. My CID is also already set to GOOGL001.
Is it risky to just let it do it's thing? I know that I'll lose root, but is there a problem besides that? Will the process complete sucessfully?

Anyone?

Why don't you just flash the pre-rooted 4.4.4 GPE ruu?
HTC One M8

I believe that S-OFF is needed and Firewater didn't worked with my phone.

You think s-off is needed for OTA? Why would you think that?
As long as your are stock ROM and stock recovery, the OTA install will be fine.

You can't change CID without it. Have you tried Sunshine S-Off? Firewater doesn't work anymore.

Tried sunshine but need to go to a more stock rom i guess, on sinless gpe at the moment its 4.4.4 and working fine?
Not as good a battery life as i had before on viper but new viper will install but no wifi

You need the latest firmware with the new 4.4.4 roms. Read the viper site very carefully and it explains why
