Unrevoked Forever testers needed

We believe we are near ready to ship our incredible/evo solution to security off. Note this means you would have TRUE subradio level security off, and no matter what hboot/radio you flashed this would remain unless you purposely ran the command to reenable. We need a few people to help test slowly so we don't mass release and run into issues. We need folks at various levels of hboot/radio/rom, but the big thing is don't be afraid to loose your data or even brick. It's possible. Though we have not seen a permabrick yet from this. Truthfully, in the entire line of work we've done, there has only been ONE unrecoverable brick. And based on new knowledge that one might even have been fixable.
If interested, please join freenode channel #xxxxxxxxxxxxr to test... First 2-3 people only. Thanks!
EDIT: We are done for the night. It's looking good. We had 4 of 4 tests perfectly successful and rooted. Expect a full release soon unless something comes up! Stay tuned to http://www.unrevoked.com/forever

Sure i'll test

I'll help.

1. I'm NOT a dev, but could sprint etc ever give an OTA which would run a script to reenable??
2. For the testers are you looking for unrooted users only? (I thought Matt said it would only work for those already unrooted.)
THANKS FOR ALL YOU GUYS DO!!!!

I'm down have two phones

so whats the word guys it would be nice to flash the ota and see the difference between stock and the roms so far

Will release soon

Good question, yes there is ONE thing that could reenable this. But I don't think they'd use it as it would mess up all true testing phones out on the market. And this requires a custom recovery that can run unsigned zip's. That's about it.

Thanks guys your work is amazing and WOW how easy can it get? MANY MANY MANY thanks this worked on my 2.1 rooted and was able to immediately upgrade to 2.2 without an issue with root of course.
And as well it work flawlessly on my already rooted and upgraded to 2.2 evo
WOOHOO!!! and here are a couple of pics for proof

question for those that are testers, once you flashed a custom rom did it keep the 1.4pri

Will this work with stock ota 2.2?

Did not have the pri...
Phone must ALREADY be ROOTED so as far as I have read if you rooted you dont have the 1.4pri

I thought the PRI was tied to the Hboot though? If this actually installs the current stock Hboot (79.0000) shouldn't your PRI be 1.40?

Selling Phone

Have to sell phone due to some unfortunate financial circumstances, but was wondering what I need to do exactly to restore it back to stock.
Atm, it's rooted/S-Off and flashed with the InsertCoin 2.2.1 Rom and i'm in the process of restoring the nandroid backup (stock). I also wiped data/factory reset the phone as well as formatted /system from CWM.
Is there anything else i should do? Should i format the SDCard? Return to S-ON ? remove root? (not sure how to remove root only and keep S-Off)
Thanks for any help.

After installing the RUU for T-Mobile, should i also remove root/return to S-ON? Don't want the customer coming to me about warranty claims.
Great pic that btw lol

Some people said that RUU gives you back S-ON, and some said it doesn't. You have to try it. Otherwise I don't know of any other way to get S-ON. Maybe someone else can help.
Yeah that pic is awesome, I got lots of them

Here let me show you what you should have read before starting to mod it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

What you should do is sell that phone to a developer who could REALLY use it. It could solve 2 problems.

HELP, MT4G turned into a ipod 4!!!

hello, my problem cell radio is not working properly.
SOMETIMES it turns into a IPOD 4 WITH CAMERA!!!! i mean sometimes it will not recieve calls or messages. and when a call connects, the voice is very shuttering.
otherwise no problems with other things
camera,games, music, internet, wifi, bluetooth, everything is working fine.
not rooted , just updated to 2.3.4 and now its even worst then before.

Send it back to htc

I would root it and install a custom ROM...see if that fixes your problem.

yeah, BUT

Look around, there are numerous guides you can use, to downgrade then root an install a rom.

I would go to Xda Home Page and click on "wiki". From there, select HTC Glacier, & then follow the downgrade guide. After successfully downgrading to Froyo, then (still in the wiki section), find the Ultimate S-off guide and follow it. You will use visionary to temp root, and gfree to get s-off, then visionary to perma root...at least that's what I did. It sounds complicated, but once you get all your files in place and installed on you pc & phone, it takes 10 minutes tops..
** First,I am all for rooting, and I am entirely comfortable doing it. However, if I were you, I would read some of peoples posts that have had issues, to make yourself familiar with the process, so that you might learn from what they did wrong. Just search the forums for downgrading..and rooting. Spend a couple hours reading, it is something I failed to do, and nearly messed up! It's only a suggestion, but it helps if you sorta understand what you are doing. I don't want you to brick your phone & think I talked you into jumping in too fast! Just realize that while I wouldn't hesitate to root a brand new one if I had it, THERE IS A CHANCE OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE! **
Good Luck..

How did he manage to flash a rom s-on? Surely you need a custom recovery for that?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium

HTC Dev unlock will let you install a custom recovery while S-ON, then bob's your uncle.

thank you for the help getting the O2 RUU bit of a stupid question its a exe thats downloading do i copy over the files to a SD card

Nope, it's a .exe, you run it.

Well Bob's your uncle lol. You can flash a custom recovery image when you are HTC Dev unlocked. HTC Dev unlocks your system partition, boot partition, and recovery partition.

i tryed to flash the ruu last night but it get to the point where it need to reboot in to boot loader but does not do anything

It's a shame people like you have to be on boards like this where we're working with technically complicated processes and data, and you post a ridiculously vague question with absolutely no information. His response was appropriate, and equated to a simple "uh huh.....that's great".
Until you post more information for people other than "I tried flashing it and it failed at 10%", nobody is going to care. The people I see on XDA.....man....
Noone has a clue what you flashed, what processes you used, what files you used, what steps you followed (and didnt follow), etc, what commands you entered, how you flashed items, etc.

Make sure that you're flashing the latest version of your phone's ruu, make sure the phone is locked and in fastboot before you flash.

Errr your hboot confuse me LoL
Everytime whenever there is a discussion about hboot i would just read a bit then ignore it xP
You are already 's-off', which is better than 'unlock' with s-on.
You should have a custom recovery, i presume it is clockwork. to flash a new rom step.
I would give my post 1 or 2 days before trying it out. Because if i am wrong someone will correct me then we both can learn.

I am slowly forgetting this kind of details but I think that even S-OFF (which is definitely much better than unlocked) he still needs an Engineering bootloader to flash a recovery.
