I'm unable to change my radio. I was able to flash it once and it worked fine im currently on radio 06.04.06. Ive tried to flash 3 different radios. I've read up on possible solutions but all of them say you need to have S-Off. Well i have S-off and im still getting the error. Any Solutions here? Ive tried to push thru adb or flash it on my SD via Fastboot. i can boot into recovery CW fine and flash roms and kernels.
I'm not an expert, but go into your bootloader (not recovery) and make sure it says "eng s-off" at the top.
If it is, put the zip file on the root of your SD card and make sure it is named PD98IMG.zip
That is what works for me.

You need Engineering S-OFF to flash a radio. There are only a couple steps to attain it.
Skip down to Gaining Engineering S-OFF:

Hi guys i recently updated my HTC Sensation 4G from 2.3.4 to OTA ICS 4.0.3
and now this is how my Hboot Looks Like:
***LOCKED***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
RADIO-11.23.3504.07_M2
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC-boot
Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34
so basically i remained S-Off after updating from 2.3.4 to 4.0.3, so i want to install Root and Custom Recovery Again.
Since im in ICS, 1- Which custom recovery should i install? (Regular or Touch)
2- which Root should i install Superuser or SuperSu?
3- is there a guide to accomplish this?
4- can any1 tell me or direct me or guide me or link me where to go to get this done?
thanks in advanced

Hi,
You should be OK to just install something like ARHD ROM
It contains root and recovery,which are installed when you flash the ROM...
On the [OP] is also a superwipe which will clean and prepare your phone for the new ROM.
Backup your stuff,place the superwipe and ROM on the root of your sd card and flash from recovery
Thanks for.your response but I'm really not interested in installing Custom Roms at the moment, just Stock Rom for now.
Can you please if u know or have any info on doing the.rooting and Custom Recovery by myself.

Easy enough ..find chainfires supersu thread and at the bottom download the attachment flash it..but before that..put your device in fast boot via USB..flash any recovery like say cwr(cwm) by typing fastboot flash recovery recoverynamehere.img then flash root file on your SD let me know if your confused

I've already downloaded your tool and tried to install 4EXT recovery, but when I restarted to Hboot, it's still stock recovery there. I'm in the same boat as the guy above, with S-off and stock-everything ICS. What should I do now?

Did you download the recovery.img from the attachments?
If you are SOff then either of the 2 methods should work.
Which recovery is that, CWM or 4EXT? Normal or Touch?
Cause I read that 4ext is better for ics

You need either an unlocked bootloader or a ENG bootloader to be able to flash recovery.

So can I use the option in your tool to install ENG bootloader? I used Revolutionary to gain S-off before.

Revolutionary is an engineering (ENG) bootloader
Oh ok so ENG stands for Engeneering I thought it stranded for English, sorry but I'm still new to all this Android Terminology.
You know, someone should make a thread with all these android terminology and make it a Sticky.
Thanks for the info.
Btw, do you know since I got my Sm-Off back with GB and now I updated to ICS and I see that my bootloader says S-Off still, am I still good for Custom Recovery and Root?

HOLY CRAP! can this be any more confusing. I've been following this thread waiting for a final answer and still nothing. If anyone gets this done, please do a step by step for those of us not willing to blaze new ground here.
I know there are tons of us in the same boat. Upgraded to ICS stock and wanting to keep the ROM, just open ourselves up to CWM flashing options and root required apps.
Based on what the original poster is going through here, most of us do not want to chase down link after link.
I'll keep watching hoping for a final answer. Make the last post a link to the STEP by STEP.
Thanks all for your patience.
Look, you basically need a bootloader that says *unlocked*, *revolutionary* & *juopunutbear*.
If you are S Off but locked, flash an ENG Hboot.
If you are S On & locked, unlock using HTC Dev or S Off using JB.
Now, after this, flash 4EXT recovery & then root the device.
If your Hboot version is less than 1.27 flash firmware.
I'm assuming you are already on stock, so you have a stock rooted rom with custom recovery.
All of these can be done using my tool.
That's about as much I can help you with.
Also, when you talk about being new, look at when I've joined & when you'll have.
I got my first android phone a month ago & I'm on XDA since less than 3 weeks!
(No offence meant, but please try searching)

ok i just downloaded your tool from your the link under your signature and is version 6.4.2 and i think i remeber you or someone else suggesting that i needed to install the ENG option which is option 10 but then your tools says that option 10 in intended for devices who have been S-Off using the JB S-Off (juopunutbear or something, the wire trick thingy). so mine as you can see in the first post im S-Off but im still remained Locked from upgrading from 2.3.4 to 4.0.3 but i have never used the JB method, sooooo does option 10 applies to me or NOT?
how do i get the ***LOCKED*** to say something else? do i need a different bootloader or a different hboot or a different recovery or what?
what do i need to get: have in mind that im gonna try using your tool
***LOCKED*** into something else?
Custom Recovery?
Root? SuperSU or Superuser?
etc and everything else needed to have full control of my phone?
also can you tell me with your tool in order to understand you better what would be the steps i have to follow in order to achieve all this? for example: step 1 for S-off, then step 3 for custom rec. ext4, then step 4 root device, etc, etc you know what i mean just for me to follow up without screwing up my device, since im gonna follow ur instructions to the letter.
if you need more info on my device all you need is on my first post
thanks man i would really appreciate it

Too many questions, seems you're confused.
Please head to IRC & find me there. SigPic (REALTIME IRC) has link.
EDIT: To briefly explain, it doesn't matter Revolutionary S Off or Juopunut Bear S Off.
The ENG Hboot is compatible with both.
After this, you can choose to install custom recovery if you want to or, just root right away.
It is always advisable to have custom recovery installed.
Ok this is the pics of the.tool scroolong up all the time

Hi, deltateam
I just finished S-OFF-ing my Desire S, HBOOT 2.00.0002. It took me 3 days for all the reading, searching, trying and failing, etc. So I think this might be of use for you.
The link for ENG HBOOT in the method you're linking to in the first post, is outdated. So here's what I have done:
I used this method. But here is some additional info.
After completing step 8 I found that I can't root it with SuperOneClick, so I S-OFFed it with Revolutionary first. After doing this you should have a S-OFFed device with HBOOT 0.98.0000 (or 0002, depending on which RUU you chose to downgrade to).
You can now successfully root it with SuperOneClick. Do NOT restart your phone. Restarting it in Recovery is not needed.
The next step links to the same method you linked to in the first post but as I said, the link there is outdated. So I found this post. It's basically the same thing but it has ENG HBOOT attached to it and it's the same as the one from zumodrive - I compared the md5sums. :cyclops:
After completing step 10 and restarting to bootloader you should now see that you have S-OFFed ENG HBOOT 2.00.002. You may want to flash the recovery again as (most likely) Revolutionary flashed its own recovery.
Also, you can still boot the old ROM, which you used for the HBOOT downgrade but of course you should flash new ROM soon. You may also update the RADIO to more recent one as the old RUU downgraded it and the Fallout ROM doesn't have a radio included.
Good luck with the ROM and I hope this helped

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, this is what I meant - an official RUU Rom will change the RADIO but if you update it after that and flash a new custom Rom, it will stay unaffected (i.e. "updated").
ok one question, i unlocked my desire s on htcdev site, i instal clockwork mod recovery and rooted with super user, i install fallout, but on the screen stay black boot scren htc desire htd, and system not but, i try with sabsa rom, and ice ds and roms not boot, bootloder is unlocked s-on and rooted, where i am wrong???

Yes from the zip. U will have to do this every time u flash a rom, all htcdev unlock has to do this process.

Ok here it goes I will try to explain my situation. Sorry for my lack of information, and other nonsense.
I have unlocked bootloaded using HTC dev my bootloader shows a pink ***UNLOCKED*** at the top. I have loaded cwm recovery using aahk. All my attempts at trying to gain s-off have failed. I dont care about setting CID to 111111 (however many 1's it is) Is there a way to gain S-OFF with out using the aahk. I can't seem to flash any ROMS using cwm because of s-on?
When trying to attempt the downgrade via aahk in linux I am getting invalid image or some error in HBOOT, I just need to figure out how to gain s-off and all my problem I think will be solved. My problem, I have root, s-on, cwm recovery. but when flashing zips in CWM I get stuck on HTC screen. It's like its failing to write to some partitions because of s-on? I can make and restore backups just fine, except that one time when I flashed a boot.img with fastboot. (was getting desperate) so I restored and flashed the boot.img from my nandroid. All is well again.

Please any help or other information will be very helpful, in the mean time I will search and read up on everything. But all I seem to find is outdated information, and aahk. I would prefer to do everything manually, not matter how hard or how long it takes. I feel better doing everything myself, and I will know what went wrong and where when doing it this way. Please if there is a way to manually S-OFF, HELPS! :angel:
P.S. I have root if that helps, gained root using another tool I think it was htcsupertoolv3, but I have tried another tool as well, HTC_QuickRoot_1.1.13_Release.
Another question, Is it the radio flashing that gains S-OFF? is there a way to radio flash using fastboot with S-ON? I can flash stuff with fastboot. I Imagine I can flash with Hboot as well using a gold card, but for some reason I'm getting invalid image errors in Hboot when using aahk.
I just need some help in general lol. Don't be shy ppl I hit the thanks button alot. Thanks in advance!
You need to flash the insecure boot img and relock the bootloader before trying to run aahk... Do you have good instructions for that process?
