[Q] AlphaRevX to Original S-Off

Hi everybody,
I've a simple question about my Desire S with S-OFF by alpharevx and root permission with gingerbreak.
Can I flash an "original bootloader with S-OFF" such as ENG BOOT here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113820
??
Ps: sorry for my bad English

yup u can ...

And after that, can I use clockworkmod recovery and the last HTC official update?

just don't use official RUUs to update as they will override the ENG S-ON hboot and change it to S-OFF

I just mean the last OTA update

[Q] Sensation - can`t root hBoot 1.18.000

Hello.. i`m new in this...
I have tryed to root my sensation...but it actualy cant be rooted...
i have got Hboot 1.18.000
i tryed over revolutionaty and over some youtube instruction...but.. nothing... it still says *LOCKED*
how i can fix this problem ???
Pleaseee Help !!!

This happened to me on this hboot, this is what worked.
Uninstall HTC sync and HTC drivers.
Reboot pc.
Download fastboot drivers from the guide section of the revolutionary site
(http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary)
Install these and reboot pc.
Ensure USB debugging is on in phone settings
Connect to pc and let driver setup on pc complete (automatic)
Disconnect phone, switch off and boot into bootloader (hold vol down and power key) then select fastboot using vol keys to scroll and power key to select
Connect to pc again and let driver setup complete again (automatic)
Disconnect phone and reboot into android
Connect to pc
Run revolutionary and follow the guide here for the s-off procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Keep following the guide to install recovery then supercid.
After that you can flash a custom Rom - don't forget to flash the correct firmware first if going from gingerbread to ics or vice versa
Hope this helps - it worked for me

no..still nothing
it still wrote LOCKED

Need to unlock bootloader first.
You can unlock from HtcDev website.
When your bootloader will be **unlocked** then you can proceed with S-Off and root using Revolutionary.

Sorry that didn't work, BTW I didn't need to unlock bootloader with HTCdev site and my hboot was the same as yours, but I hope that works for you.
regards.

I hope it works out for you here, lol.

First make sure you Android are still on Gingerbread because I think there are still no release on S-OFF ing the ICS.
If the error on rooting you can use TacoRoot to get temporary root than run the Revolutionary. I use this method to get the S-OFF.
[Exclusive] TacoRoot By Justin Case And Reid Holland: A New Temporary Root Exploit For All HTC Devices
I think you can find details on how from this post For S-Off on OTA update
You may have to run the Revolutionary 2-3 times to get the S-OFF.

You do not need to Unlock from HTCdev because Revolutionary will unlock it and changed the ***Locked*** with Revolutionary.

The only thing you can do is to first downgrade your current rom by running a RUU or flashing its rom.zip (PG58IMG.zip) in hboot.

see my post in the other thread you posted
by the way if your phone is rooted you don't need temp-root
actually AFAIK you don't need root at all with revolutionary.io method

Hi,
You are right.
1.27.000 is not currently supported.
You have to wait until it is...
No,there is no eta.

So basically I'm stuck with original firmware?
What can I do then, root? scid..? cwm?

Hi,
Yes,you can root and install CWM.
But you can only install ROMS with a 3.32 base(latest ICS)
So,6.6.2 is OK

Ok, thank you.
But I tried to flash the CWM taken from the guide thred putting the PG58IMG.zip in the root of the sd.
But when I start the bootloader it says wrong image...

Hi,
Try THIS ONE

Still says wrong image....
My cid num, got with adb, is: VODAP102.
Should I insert it in android-info?
Should I super cid the phone before cwm?

Youre gonna have to unlock your bootloader by using htc's official method (google it). Then youll be able to install CWM and whatever else. There are limitations, theres a good guide in the development section about htc official bootloader unlocker. Read that before attempting.

Just tried and it does not install the CWM. So do I have to unlock the bootloader with the official method?

i have same problem, im new to all this but want to root my phone. I have updated to the new ice cream sandwich through the vodafone over air update. i have looked through step guides but i dont know where to start! i have s-on so how do i get this off or do i need to?

Yes you will have to use the HTC Dev method right now if you want to flash a custom ICS ROM being as those are the only ones you will be able to flash with the Hboot you have. But know this ahead of time the HYC De. Unlock is very different then the Revolutionary unlock. Click the link in my sig to learn mote about the HTc Dev unlock and what it allows you to do. But if I was you I would just wait until Revolutionary supports Hboot 1.27.0000, or someone comes up with a Hboot downgrade for the Sensation cause the HTC Dev method does not fully unlock all portitions except the radio portition like Revolutionary does. Plus it leaves evidence your bootloader has been unlocked so HTC can say your warranty is void. Check out this post to as it gives a little more insight on HTC Dev unlock.

So to root the device I have to CWM it, to CWM it I need to unlock the bootloader?
But, If not rooted, unlocked nor CWModded, can I just install ARHD?
Ok, let's take it the other way round:
My phone is locked, hboot 1.27.0000, S-on, cid VODAP102 and not rooted, but last official stock ics.
Now I want to install last ARHD, what should I do and how??

To flash AHRD you will have to have a unlocked bootloader, either by HTC Dev method or by Revolutionary method. Now as stated by you, malybru, and myself we all know Revolutionary is not compatible with Hboot 1.27.0000 (as of right now), which your device currently has. So this leaves only the HTC Dev method. Now I personally agree with others here on XDA, I would normally stay far away from unlocking via HTC Dev. But seeing as you bought your Sensation new with Hboot 1.27.0000, you really have no other alternative but to wait for Revolutionary to update or for some other means of unlocking becomes available. Also if you do manage to downgrade your Hboot you will have to use HTC Dev to do it.
Now I am in no way saying you should use HTC Dev, nor am I advocating HTC Dev. I am just trying to inform you. What you do with your device is your choice and your choice only. But what ever you do, please post back here with your decision and if applicable any results.
Also if you was wondering why you have to use HT Dev to downgrade Hboot, read this post. Yeah I know it is for GB ROMs but I imagine the same probably holds true for ICS. I mean it is the HTC Dev unlock that allowsyou to downgrade in that senario. But what do I know.

Sure, exploit H.Boot 1.27.0000 for S-Off is revolution, new model of HTC phone is same like HTC_One
****ing S-ON policy HTC because you total locked us
And that is why HTC always following behind Samsung nowadays
I'm waiting XDA revolution

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and new nothing about rooting until a few days ago...quickly discovered the fact that Revolution does not support 1.27.
I unlocked with HTC DEV, ran recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img using Fastboot CLI.
After that I backed up my stock Vodafone ICS ROM using CWM then switched to the XDA guide for rooting with su-2.3.6.3 and followed rest of XDA guides for installing a ROM (really useful guides - Thanks!!)
Within an hour I had gone from stock Vodafone ICS to Virtuous Inquisition-v4.0.1
I'll admit I got hooked up on flashing recovery and was given some guidance by a friendly soul but figured the rest out from this forum..

I don't think you can s-off without xtc clip, which is special hardware?
But you can unlock the bootloader through HTC dev and root later. Have you succeeded there with unlocking only?

I think I know why the first step of htcdev unlock doesn't work when I unlocked my chacha, my bootloader was 1.09 I think, after updating my hboot, it was 1.10.0000 (which is what it is right now).
So I don't think you need to update your HBOOT at all
Try following the htcdev unlock instructions, but just skip out the part when you have to run that RUU to update hboot

You need to flash clockworkmod recovery follow this tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164468
And then you can either root your stock rom by following this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184118
Or install a custom rom like Cyanogenmod 7 which is already rooted, or a custom stock rom like Ajeeval's Zasa4Chacha (which is already rooted as well). If you're gonna try out any other roms, make sure you do a backup in clockworkmod recovery first, because you don't wanna be having to reinstall your stock rom if something goes wrong, you'd be there all day lol
