You currently can't do this, the team that brought you alpharevx ares working on this
EDIT: Although, it would seem from the posts below that people have achieved this already!

You can use this method via adb:
1. Put the hboot.img you want to flash in the root of the sdcard.
2. In cmd run the following commands (after each command press enter):
adb devices
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot bootloader

How do i get any hboot official 0.98.000
and how do i flash it.
thanks
first flash ENG Hboot from this thread ENG HBOOT
then flash any official rom from the bootloader (the rom file should be in zip format with name PG88IMG.zip placed in the root of tour SD card)
Thanks for the guide, maybe it can posting to sticky how to gain back s-on after alphareX
already done and success. Back to original hboot 0.98.0000
Please can you tell me which guide (adb or ENG boot) did you use?

I'll be honest (I'm not 100%) but I'm thinking that he intended the while lot to be typed through a command prompt in windows from your PC using ADB, rather than a terminal on the device itself.
Anyone know if this would work with other HTC phones (Incredible or Incredible 2)?

Check my previous post. Added hboot I used. 0.98.0000 as that is supported by Alpharev. Now I am back on S-Off again
so we no need to flash old rom with 0.98.0000 hboot just use image and instruction above?
1. You will need to have a room with root, to be able to follow actions described above.
2. If you have none stock rom and recovery you will have security issue, while booting up.
So you have only option of:
1. Running these actions
2. Then running RUU
Worked for me perfectly. P.s. I do not take any responsibility of issues faced Just explained my expierience.

I'm a noob of Android and I begin yesterday to read this forum and find some solution.
I bought this new phone HTC EDIT: "Desire S" from a friend of mine, but the version installed is very strange:
Android 2.3.3
HTC Sense 2.1
Radio 20.26.30.084AU _38.03.00.03_M
Build 1.21 .0.0 CL18158 test-keys
Software 1.21.0.0
I have installed "root check" app and it say that I have the root access and I haven't do nothing.
I would like to install the official rom (I found the verision on this post ) to resolve some bugs that are present in my phone, but I don't know if the device will work well.
I need first to backup all the rom and in case of problem re-install.
I install ROM Manager and try to install ClockworkMod but it give me an error about privileged. The problem could be the S-ON, but I'm not sure.
Now the question:
how to make a S-Off without risk?
If I install a official rom, do the ClockworkMod, root access and S-OFF remain installed?
If I reach my goal, I will created a guide that collect the steps of installing a rom for noob as me
1) desire or desire s?
2) test keys? if u got a s-off bootloader, don't update your rom, WE NEED YOUR BOOTLOADER!
1. It is Desire S.
2. I will not update in this case. How I can be sure that is it S-off? In that case how can I give you my bootloader?
Thanks
Hold [volume-down] and [power] when the phone's turned off.
That last bit's the tricky part - because of a feature called fast boot the DS does not really turn off when you shut it down but just hibernates. So you have to either turn off fast boot (in Settings -> Power) or pull the battery before attempting to enter recovery.
Check the Hboot at the top to see if it's Ship S-ON or S-OFF or ENG
I just made what you say.
SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000)
RADIO-38.03.00.03M
eMMC-boot
Then there is menu with some command.
My phone is S-OFF
Can this be usefully for you?

EXCELLENT we have an ENG S-OFF Desire-S, anyone of the Developers can help us with this if it's useful by any means?!
We need you to dump the Hboot, and upload it here please
1. Download adb zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?5d0v316g9bg97) and extract to c:\
2. Launch Windows console (cmd) and go to the adb folder cd c:\adb
3. "adb devices" <- Is your device detected? If not, install HTC Sync // Of course, before you have to plug your device in.. (sync mode)
4. "adb shell"
5. run "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img"
6. Conect your phone in usb mode and Upload to multiupload or Mediafire

I will do it later because I'm not at home now.
This procedure will save personal data, in the sense that is better first to restore default settings of the phone?
What does it means ENG?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
it won't save any data from you, only your bootloader, not your rom
eng = engineering
it's a bootloader, s-off and with more functions (like fastboot to flash new radios)
If we can just get RUU for SAGA same as Asd0rs version 1.21.0.0 won't we be able to flash it to our S-ON devices & get S-OFF
OMFG !!!!!!!!!! Finally an ENG S-OFF !!!!!!!!!! This is the same case with the sensation. Hopefully, they'll find a way to push this into our S-On phones. Also, can you please take a pic of your bootloader screen and post it here? Proof's always good. Also, plzz don't do something like the guy with ENG S-OFF Sensation did. DO NOT FLASH ANY ROM, OR YOU MIGHT LOSE YOUR ENG S-OFF, and we'll be screwed. Thanks !!!
EDIT: It seems like HTC is dropping these on purpose

we have clockwork mod recovery images for desire s
so we can finally flash other roms

you need to place the file as it is, PG88IMG.zip case sensitive naming in the root directory of the SD card and then enter bootloader, it will automaticly check for the existence of the file and update....
once updated you should move or rename the PG88IMG.zip otherwise it will re-apply whenever you enter bootloader
If this file is the problem, then I believe that there is another post in the development forum with another copy of the same thing and I know that this works as I used it on my device.
Excellent - worked perfectly.

From my understanding there is no reason NOT to use the ENG hboot once you've applied alpharevx even though that process patches your hboot so that it has the same functionality
EDIT: unless your intention is to return to stock via RUU, as eng hboot can be over written whereas alpharevx can't.

In my opinion eng h/boot is the better option, if your phone develops a fault an you have to RUU you've have one less hurdle to clear on a faulty phone.

i have a deisre s from three (UK) which i s-off'ed myself.
the updated completed fine, but crashed when it reboted, now my desire freezes at the htc logo screen, if i press the volume down button and try to go to recovery i get a red triangle and exclamtion mark.
any ideas please?
thank you

Which method did you use to gain s-off, revolutionary? What is your current hboot?
I'm suggesting it's still 6.XXXX, downgrade your hboot and run the ruu again.
Recovery isn't present cause a ruu puts you back to stock, there is only a fault at the revolutionary hboot, it can't be overwritten with standard methods, look at the index thread, there is a downgrade tutorial.

could he try and install fastboot drivers and flash a new hboot/rom/custom recovery or would what the RUU has done render my solution useless..
correct me if i'm wrong...

He can do that if his hboot hasn't changed, but as i understand it, he wants the ruu.
But another option would be to run the ruu without attached device. Don't close the first window. Search for the rom.zip. Copy it into any other folder. Open it and remove everything except the system.img & boot.img. Rename the rom.zip to PG88IMG.zip and flash it from bootloader or flash the system.img and boot.img itself with fastboot. But I don't know if this is what he wants, cause only the system is changed, but not recovery or bootloader.
Hi, i did use revolutionary to s-off, wanted to get rid off the ****ty three branded rom, my
hboot is 6.98.1002
radio 3822.10.08.04_M
can i downgrade the hboot without being able to boot into the phone?
i just want to get it working again, dont mind not having 2.3.5
The easiest way would be to flash a custom recovery image with fastboot (such as clockworkmod), after that download another hboot from here or here.
Extract the hboot.img.
Reboot to recovery. Open a terminal and type
Code:
adb devices
adb push hboot.img /sdcard/hboot.img (be sure you're in the folder where hboot.img is on your harddrive)
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img (backup your alpharev hboot )
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (flash new hboot )
exit
Reboot to bootloader, there should be 0.98.2000 or 2.00.2002 instead of 6.98.1002, after that you can run every ruu you want, but don't forget, after running a ruu your bootloader is back to s-on.

Oh btw, why you want to use the ruu and not a custom 2.3.5 rom with sense 3 or 3.5, there are as many out there.

didnt know you could backup your hboot good info probably should do that next time i flash a hboot... last one i did was a eng s-off from revolutionary's pvt ship s-off
Since you're revolutionary s-off, you could flash 4ext or clockworkmod recovery, and then flash a custom rom. The official Ruu tries to install latest hboot with new partitioning table (/system and /system/lib are now separated). As revolutionary hboot can't be replaced by ruu, it can't work. Just either flash a custom rom, or flash eng hboot over revolutionary, search for "engHBOOToverARX" in desire s forums. I used that method to get rid of revolutionary hboot.

download ANDROID FLASHER and 4EXT recovery.zip from the 4EXT thread. Open the ZIP and extract the recovery.img, and flash using ANDROID FLASHER. Then, open recovery and format cache. DONE
thanks for the help guys
i downloaded the fastboot drivers and the android flasher program also cynogen 7.1 stable build
i run the program with my phone in fstboot and then tick recovery or bootloader?
Recovery, and select the recovery.img from the 4ext recovery.zip. You can find it in the thread.
