as the title states. Verified by myself coming from v004 evo with original 2.02 hboot. All updated and running.

did your hboot goto 2.10
And what were the steps you took to re-root?
Hboot was updated as well as all radios and software. And to reroot all I had to do was put back on recovery and reflash Su and all was good. I had s-off prior though.

Do I miss something, but what new in it for Desire?
We already have S-OFF with Alpharev 1.80.
Why do we need AlpharevX?

Pretty simple : Those who had HBOOT > 0.93.0001 couldn't S-off their device before. Now, it seems they can. Then you won't need this unless you have this kind of HBOOT.

not true. I have been able to s-off with 0.93.0001. Thats not the point of it.
I also checked my Desire and I got S-Off with Alpharev 1.80 and HBOOT 0.093.0001.
So, whats the difference?
Should this NOT be in the dev-forum?

i only updated with new HBOOT and never used alpharev beta tool (only the old one). Check my sign...
This is specifically for CDMA users and newer HTC devices. It also means you don't have to root as you're already S-OFF - you can just flash a new ROM after flashing a custom recovery

> = higher then hboot 0.93.0001.
So if your hboot is higher then 0.93.0001. You cant get s-off so his info is correct.

You don't even have to run unrevoked. Once they have S-Off some people have rooted by fastboot flashing a custom recovery, then flashing superuser as a zip. There's a tutorial thread over in AndroidForums (Desire All Things Root forum).
Presumably a pre-rooted ROM would also work at this point, but I guess this allows you to run Ti backup etc before doing that (or keep the current ROM).
Edit: Of course anyone doing it this way must make sure they flash the correct recovery for their device (GSM or CDMA). I believe that it's only (some) CDMA devices which have HBOOT 1.06, so most can just use unrevoked without this. And remember it's still in beta at the moment.
But it means that previously unrootable Desires can now be rooted
Yes this is for CDMA version of Desire. I tried Unrevoked before this came out and could not get root. After I ran the Alpharev to get S-Off, I got root with Unrevoked. Had to run Unrevoked so I could get ClockworksMod recovery. It was a really simple process, no need to create a special CD. I quickly canned the HTC ROM for CM7. Data worked without APN restore. Life is good
once you're s-off, you should to flash recovery through fastboot. Now you're able to flash any rom
Indeed ive just used revolutionary and it worked flawlessly on desire hboot 1.06
i have a tmous htc sensation. was at hboot 1.17.0018. i am now at 1.17.1111. i read the guide on how to s-off and it says i need to be at 1.17.1011. did i do something wrong? it says s-off but its no at hboot 1.17.1011. is this normal
i experienced almost the same thing, i updated with RUU 1.45 which put the hboot to 1.18.0000, but when i flashed a new rom, its went to 1.17.1111 still s-off for both, and no issues in between
than you very much. i will move forward.
(thanks button hit)
Iirc s-off is actually a radio flag and nothing to do with the bootloader.
Revolutionary's hboots (1011/1111) have the flash ability which is what is desired.
Sent from my HTC Sensation.
thanks for the info (button hit.)
this my first android phone so some of this stuff is new to me. like i said i just followed the guide and it said .1011 and thats what i was expecting. but this is good for future reference
I know with Hboot 1.13, I can't flash radio in recovery. I've heard I've to do supercid or relock the phone to RUU or somethings like that?
Could ne1 kinda give me any information or links on how to do it step by step?
Thanks
1. Do that SuperCID thing
2. Go to Recovery, install the 1.74 ( I think ) RUU
Your phone will be re-locked now and be pretty much vanilla.
3. Install 2.12 Update
4. Unlock again
5. Have fun

I just found the relative thread of how to do supercid on One S. After doing supercid... I have to go to recovery mode and run the 1.78 RUU? and OTA to 2.21? After all, Unlock it again and root.
My Question is do I need to flash stock recovery, stock boot and relock bootloader myself before run the 1.78 RUU?
Did you try to root the 2.21 RUU?
After installing 2.21 RUU, I've unlocked my bootloader, reinstalled CWM recovery, rooted my phone (everything was on that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427) and reinstalled my CM10 backup (without forgetting to flash boot.img via fastboot) and everything is OK!
Thanks everyone. I just successfully updated my radio with 2.21 RUU now. After that, I unlocked my bootloader again and install clockwork recovery and SU.
I just flashed trickdroid V7.1, everything works great. Actually, the procedure isn't difficult but extremely troublesome ... damn the HTC doesn't give us S-Off.
I don't remember, but will booting into recovery allow you to flash radio without flashing the ruu first. Don't know if cwr or twrp would be better for that. It worked on kernels, I believe, as the htc restrictions did not then apply.
It depends on your actual hboot, since 1.13 hboot you can't directly flash radio throught recovery and you have to install the latest RUU but if you are still on an older hboot you can flash the radio via CWM or TWRP (follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684477).
I am familiar with that link and have used it. As I am on .06 hboot I have no issues flashing radios.
Was just trying to determine for others if that method would work on .13 and higher and why not. I personally am not 100% sure if it will or will not--
Since I have not seen any posts on doing that, it probably won't--not sure
Hello!
I followed this guide to downgrade my original HBOOT version 2.00.2002 to 0.98.0000. After that I used revolutionary to S-OFF my phone. But now I have to revert all this because of the warranty.
Now I think I have to install the old hboot version from this post. And after that I can install a RUU.
Now here is my question. To get the hboot version 2.00.2002 I have to use the newest RUU available. Somewhere I have read that this version cannot be turned to S-OFF again, but that's wrong, is it?
OK, let me rephrase my question. No matter which RUU version you installed, is it always possible to install an old RUU so you can get HBoot 0.98.xxx.x?

as far as i know...no. flashing a new/old RUU doesn't change your hboot.
that's my experiance at least...
But that's not possible. Because I installed an old RUU to downgrade my HBoot to version 0.98.
OK, I am back to stock now. I used the old hboot from my link and after that I flashed RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8.
Can I S-OFF the hboot 2.02 ??
I mean this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331 will work for my HBOOT 2.02 ?
No, because zergRush won't work. You'll have to unlock your bootloader to gain any sort of root.
Edit: this guide would work

To S-OFF you first have to downgrade to an older HBOOT, which is done by gaining some form of root, running misc_version and then an older RUU. After you're S-OFF you can put on a newer (S-OFFed) HBOOT if you don't want Revolutionary's default one.
As long as you're running gingerbread (i.e. Android 2.3.x, and not ICS which is 4.0.4), you can get temproot. See my signature for more information.

S-OFF is something I too want to do to my HTC Desire S, looking in your signature you are running 2.00.2002.
I am on a newer HBOOT the 2.02.0002.
I understand you have to downgrade first, and then S-OFF, but after S-OFF can I then flash the ICS RUU and get it back to 2.02.0002?
Will it still say Revolutionary? or go back to saying Unlocked (As I am HTC DEV Unlocked).
My main concern is that I don't like the idea of having 0.98, on there after, or having a fake number 6.98 or 7.00.2000 etc.
There seems to be a lot of people still on 2.00.X and not on the 2.02.X.
Are you S-OFF paulie-uk?

I'm hboot S-OFF (what revolutionary can provide), not radio S-OFF (sadly the only way to do this on SAGA is with some extra equipment). I believe the 2.02.0002 hboot came in the ICS RUU, it's just got a bit tighter security, I don't think the partitions have changed since the last version (someone correct me if I'm wrong here).

I'm using an S-OFFed ENGineering hboot, where you see people on the other version (2.00.0002) it is (usually) the stock SHIP hboot.

You will have to downgrade. Sadly this will wipe your phone.

After you're S-OFF, I'd suggest you try a custom ROM and not flashing the 4.0.4 RUU (it's a buggy experimental version). Flashing an official RUU is pretty much how you return to stock, so it would most likely overwrite your S-OFFed hboot with a S-ON stock one. Remember, the S-OFF on our device is done in the hboot and not the radio.
When you're S-OFFed the first hboot you will have will be Revolutionary's 6.98 one. You can change this after.
I've found that 2.00.2002 works with all of the ROMs I've tried (which have been based on gingerbread, ICS and JellyBean). The "fake number" ones are there to make flashing a S-ON hboot more difficult, meaning that an OTA update wouldn't undo it. However, it is quite obvious if you were to send your phone in for repairs (still in warranty!?!?!) which is why a few of the tech-savvy who want S-OFF put on the ENG hboots instead.
If you want to overwrite Revolutionary's hboot with a different one with a lower version number, you will need to use dd and if it goes wrong it will brick your phone. You can find the ENG hboots on cyannogenmod's wiki if you don't trust the files I provide in other posts, but I strongly suggest you read about what you're going to do until you're comfortable with it before taking action.
Remember that after changing a hboot or radio, you should always re-wipe and re-flash your phone as partitions can move and always check the md5 first.
