S-off radio - HTC Sensation

I have seen s-off radio mentioned a few times in a few places but I don't know what it is can someone explain and how I get radio s-off?
Or by getting s-off by all the tuts around does this achieve radio s-off ?
Thanks

You don't NEED ENG S-OFF for anything really, Revolutionary does it all for you. I personally flashed the ENG HBOOT as I don't like the Revo logo at the top of the HBOOT

Root htc desire s 2.3.5 s off

Phone details
*locked*
Saga pvt s-off rl ...etc
It says

If you have new hboot (2.00.002) and you are S-OFF, it means your phone has hardware S-OFF, using XTC clip. You don't have to unlock it. You can do right about everything with your phone without unlocking it.
So why is this

Try 'fastboot oem unlock'
Some first gen phone's were s-off to start with. Don't quote me on that, I'm guessing.

Because s-off/s-on and locked/unlocked are 2 different things. Trust me being s-off'ed by xtc clip is more then enough, you can install anything you want. I have a phone like that. Don't unlock, there is no need for that. You can flash any RUU if you want so and still stay s-off and then flash any custom rom, and then RUU again... I've done that all more then once.

Since your phone already is s-off,
You can root it now using a tool like superoneclick or something else.

Agree with the above.
What I personaly did is installed latest RUU 2.10.401.9 just to have the latest hboot and radio (since I have xtc clip s-off, I stayed s-off). Then rooted it with one click tool, flashed latest 4ext recovery and installed my favorite custom rom.

Are you kidding?? Already told you.
If it's already s-off, root it with superoneclick, install recovery like 4ext or cwm, backup everything and flash roms like it's going crazy.
Search the forums, it's written a hundret times everywhere!#!

Dude, you know, I'm not gonna do the simple search work for you. I tried to help you but I have other things to do aswell. If you're not able to find the mentioned stuff by yourself, you should probably not play around with your device...

[Q] Does anybody think revolutionary will update?

Hello, I am s-on (by accident) and hboot 1.23 and i cant flash any new firmware so no ics for me. The only solution is for revolutionary to support it which it doesn't. Could ANYBODY please tell me if there are any plans whatsoever that revolutionary will be updated? Sorry is this offends the devs of it, i'm not purposefully asking for an ETA, i'm just desperate.
Why don't you use htcdev.com?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Because that doesn't give s-off it only unlocks the bootloader.
I'd like to know this too for when the update comes.

Why don't you just use an official Gingerbread RUU? It downgrades the bootloader to 1.18 on which you can use Revolutionary.
They won't... I am sure of this... They haven't got any reason to upgrade... They have s-offed yet so no more work for them here

I do think they'll add support for the new hboot when they can, especially since alot of sensations will upgrade ota or possibly come with the new hboot out of the box in the future.

We have an S-OFF 1.27.1100 hboot so that sort of proves that they are updating it doesn't it?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
For some reason when I updated to the leaked ICS RUU I was still unlocked and S-off, whereas my girlfriends phone went back to being locked, though still S-off. Both with Hboot 1.27.0000. A bit off topic I know, but I can't figure out why...

Just flash any firmware package like mike1986's or baadnewz's ones from the respective threads and it will give you both the unlocked bootloader
