If you're rooted then you're s-off'd then I recommend that you stay away from OTA's if you want better software go for a custom rom.

You can fallback to S-ON, and then OTA update then S-OFF and Root again.
You can follow my diagram below in order to fallback to S-ON.

I don't suggest doing an OTA update it only screws the Stock ROM, I did mine and it had Hell Battery Drain.. so I decided to S-OFF and ROOT mine

When you are S-OFF and install other ROM, you can't install an official ROM via OTA.
If the ROM installed is OTA updateable, you can download it from: Rom Manager app from Market.

I've just a question about the passage from the state SHIP S-OFF 6.98.1002 to SHIP S-ON 0.98.000x: since it is necessary to use RUU, does the phone get wiped? What if I use Linux?

In this case you can download RUU in ZIP format, rename it to PG88IMG.zip, copy to SD card and reboot your phone to bootloader to flash.
You can find RUU in zip format here:
http://goo-inside.me/ruu/saga/full
BTW you have to switch your hboot to ENG S-OFF 0.98.2000 first.
(see my diagram above)

I am a bit puzzled... So is it possible to s-on again (to ota update ofcourse) without full wipe?? I truely hate backup/restore in gigabyte era...

According to my diagram above, you will fallback to s-on by executing RUU file, and this will do full wipe ofcourse.
I'm not sure if we can flash S-ON hboot over hboot ENG S-OFF 0.98.2000 by fastboot or adb command or not.

Hi. Thanks for the answer. All pretty much clear now...

Hi,
Sorry to hijack this thread but I'm not sure what (if anything) I would need to do to get this official ROM and ideally rooted when available.
I am currently S-Off via XTC Clip and rooted, my H-Boot details are: 0.98.002.
From previous experience I cannot do an OTA update but in any event need root.
Sorry to be stupid but any ideas what I would need to do when a rooted version of the update becomes available.
Many thanks,
Damian

[Q] Pyramid 1.18.0000 *UNLOCKED*/Revolutionary as "HBoot.img" ???

Hi all,
could someone please upload an 1.18.0000 unlocked HBoot.img for the Sensation??? I and much others have the problem that after update 1.45.401.2 and run the Revolutionary.zip, the Revolution-applikation lose the conection to the phone and then the Sensation writes revolutionary HBOOT 1.17.1111 and not 1.18.0000. It wold be very nice if someone can help. Thanks a lot.
PS: Command to get the hboot
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img

what you are saying is very normal. Your phone is S-offed and it shows "revolutionary" at hboot.
The hboot number changes which is normal. If you want stock hboot then you have to flash the RUU exe
Everyone run the latest OTA or RUU and start latest Revolutionary have then HBOOT 1.17.1111 ????
yes

yes, if you were on the 1.35.xxx.x, then your hboot will be something like 1.17.1111
And if you are on the 1.45.xxx.x ??? Which Hboot version have you after running latest revolutionary on stock 1.45.xxx.x with stock HBOOT 1.18.0000???
Why are you worrying so much about the hboot number as long as you are s off then your fine. I had that .18 hboot before I did the s-off procedure and after it changed to that .17 hboot.

Like others have said, this is normal. Besides, the HBOOT image is not going to change whether it is S-OFF or not. At least not the way that Revolutionary sets it. As long as it says S-OFF, you are fine. If you really want the .18 bootloader, run Revolutionary first, then run the RUU. It will change the bootloader to the new version, but you will still be S-OFF. Keep in mind that you will have to replace the stock recovery with a custom recovery and re-root if you want to.
guess while we are at it, i would like an ENG 1.18.0000 HBOOT just to have it!
I am a little scared about that: (Thats not my picture but the error looks like it... but i root it from 1.45.xxx.x)

I too !
Listen...
Revolutionary, at the moment, WILL say it's lost connection. Just run it again. After 3 times of 'losing connection' it'll actually say it's done and you'll be S-OFF
You DO NOT NEED to have HBOOT 1.18.0000 to be S-OFF - it's completely irrelevant

Stock with HTC logo during boot after RUU on top of clockworkmod+cyanogenmod

Hi all
Sorry for another thread so soon, but I'm in a very sad situation after I tried to fix my problem described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381432
So I downgraded from hboot 2.00.0002 til hboot 0.98.0000, s-off'ed using Revolutionary, Revolutionary offered to install ClockWorkMod which I accepted. Using clockworkmod I installed CyanogenMod 7.1. Due to problems with the touch functionality I decided to try to revert back to stock 2.10.401.5.
I read that this could be done just using the official RUU, so I connected my phone in fastboot-mode, ran RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed which detected my phone as "1.28.xx" (which was the version I flashed on during the downgrade) and the RUU went on without error and said "Congratulations, your phone bla bla". But then the phone reboots and never gets further than the green HTC logo on white background.
What am I to do? I can still connect to the phone via fastboot. ClockworkMod recovery console is gone, pressing recovery now just gives the default HTC recovery.
My bootloader before my rescue attempt:

Flash recovery via fastboot.
EDIT:
Lol spastic I just realised what you tried to do. I'm going to leave you a hint, nothing more, and nothing less. This has been explained numerous times over the forum, you could simply do some reading and solve your problem.
All those two images show is that your radio has changed, and the reason your hboot is still the same is because the Revolutionary hboot is protected.
Lastly, on a "general" consensus, people who have no clue about the hardware they've purchased shouldn't be tampering with it.
Sorry, I completely panicked last night after it happened.
This morning, without reading anything other than your post (which was encouraging), I thought of a wealth of options.
One, which was the one i followed, was:
#1: Connect the phone via fastboot
#2: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img
#3: now ClockworkMod was working again
#4: choose "back up and restore"
#5: restore my original nandroid backup
But now I will do some reading on how to properly revert back to stock
Thanks

Hmmm .. this is rather different to the replies I normally get.
I'll be maybe a little more helpfull. Try flashing the Engineering HBOOT, get rid of the Revolutionary HBOOT, its nothing more than trouble.
Use this HBOOT (0.98.2000).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113820
Flash that HBOOT using these instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18122984&postcount=237
Don't bother with 2.00.2002, it just reduces your cache by 150mb, and donates it to the system partition.

I'm not sure I follow you. All I meant is that I successfully got my self back to the situation where I have revolutionary hboot, clockworkmod recovery and where I'm able to flash the ROMs I want. So that's all good. All you did here was hinting something like "pull your self together and so some more research"

For this next part I'm blown away. How could you know that I actually wanted to get rid of the Revolutionary Hboot while not wanting the 2.00.0002 hboot? Because that's precisely what I want to do - I have touch screen issues and need to check if it's all this rooting/s-off'ing/custom-ROMing that's to blame - so I need a hboot which will let me use stock RUUs.

Although the thread mentions Revolutionary, here are the step and instructions you are looking for. They will also worked when you unlock the HTC bootloader

After s-off with xtc clip use SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse.zip to root your phone (you will need adb drivers) ,then install Clockworkmod from android market .... afther that put .zip of your castum ROM on sd card... but Clockworkmod (vol down + Power ,choose recovery ) ....
Hi, superoneclick does not work.
Freezes.
I am on 2.3.3 GB maybe thats the problem?
Do you check adb drivers ,and connection with pc ???
Send me a screenshot
You can also use this it will root the phone for you
Ok, worked !!
The phone was in fastboot, must be in normal USB mode and then start the superclick .exe on the PC.
Phone is now rooted and superuser acces.
Now upgrade to 2.3.5 sense 3.0 Gingerbread.
First i will install 4EXT recovery + make nandroid back-up !

I assume that you know to not update OTA - you will loose the root this way and have a bootloop - see here Flash a prerooted ROM

Good you told me , almost forgot !!!!
Looking for a prerooted ROM close to 2.3.5 sense 3.0 GB.
Can you advise one ?
Leave hboot at 0.98.0002 or go to new ENGboot ?

I would just leave the hboot alone. As for a ROM look around the development section, see what you like. They're all pretty stable.

I want to S-Off with
[GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF NO VOIDING WARRANTY (1.2x HBOOTS)--NEW: ONE CLICK ROOT
and use Custom ROM (flash 4ext recovery, flash custom rom and so on)
My question is...
1. how can I go back to 3.32 with S-On and locked bootloader? Or
2. Go back to Gingerbread (S-On & Locked bootloader)?
My purpose is flash custom rom and can back to the origin without void the WARRANTY.
by this reference
[APR.16.12] How to flash/update Android Revolution HD Ice Cream Sandwich ROM (point Do you want to go back to Gingerbread?)
[Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on (step 5)
based on two references above, the conclusion is we must flash proper RUU right?
3. which RUU that I must flash?
The Gingerbread RUU (like above) Or ICS OTA RUU? (we know that if we flash wrong RUU can brick my sensation)
Sorry to tell you but you will not be able to flash back to Gingerbread without being S-off because this flashing back to Gingerbread requires you to revert your firmware. With out being S-off you can not revert your firmware. You can use the ICS RUU or a copy of the official ICS update for your device. But if you want to flash a copy of the official OTA update you must have the stock recovery on your device or the install will fail.

yes i will S-off and use custom rom...
the problem is when we want to S-On.
if from Gb 1.17 so when s-On just use RUU GB right...
but how about when in ICS OTA, which RUU that i use?
is still RUU GB 1.17 or New RUU ICS if i want to S-On?

If you are going to use "fastboot OEM writesecureflag 3" to revert back to S-on you need toflash the stock RUU first or you will more than likely soft brick your device and then will have to use the Unbricking Project to unbrick your device. If you are using a custom Gingerbread ROM you need to use the Gingerbread RUU. If you are using a custom ICS ROM you need to use the ICS RUU. if you are on aIDS custom ROM and you can not find the ICS RUU you can use the Gingerbread RUU while you are S-off and then S-on, then use the OTA to flash back to ICS.

[Q] Can't flash RUU and get back to stock Rom

Hi,
I tried to flash RUU rom into my phone (DESIRE S).
I followed the instruction in the "How to S-ON the HTC Desire S, Unroot, remove Revolutionary and Clockwork Mod recovery" thread.
Apparently I tried to flash wrong RUU.
The flashing stopped in the middle and I get error massage that the version not matches my phone.
However my HBOOT change to version 2.00.0002 and he's locked and S-ON.
I unlock my phone with HTC tool HTCDEV. I flash CWM recovery and restored the previous ROM.
I tried to flash deferent RUU, this time I check my phone (from India) and find the right version, but I get another error massage.
RUU I tried to flash:
RUU_Saga_S_hTC_Asia_India_2.15.720.3_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_226809_signed.exe
I think my HBOOT is the problem.
My HBOOT:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 2.00.0002
RADIO-382.10.08.04_M
Emmc-boot
Aug 22 2011,15:22:13
Which HBOOT image I need to flash, to flashing the RUU?
Thanks!
Before flashing another RUU, use misc_version script to "downgrade" your phone's main version.
It needs root.
can't get ROOT
Thanks for your answer
I solved this problem before I see your answer – I relock my HBOOT and run RUU exe file.
But now I have other problem:
I can't ROOT my phone
I tried 3 deferent methods:
[EXPLOIT] [26.04.2011][v1.2] GingerBreak APK (root for GingerBread)
[EXPLOIT]SuperOneClick v2.1.1 (Finally fixed!)
[EXPLOIT] Revolutionary - zergRush local root 2.2/2.3 | revolutionary root exploit
superOneClick – stuck in step 7 "WaitForDevice"
How can I get ROOT?
Thanks!
Downgrade or unlock the bootloader. The guides for both of those are in big INDEX thread.
u dnt need to downgrade
just unlock with ur unlock.bin code
then root with SuperOneClick
am sure of this steps cos am on stock and dat was d process i uesed
