Is there a way to get temporary (or otherwise) root without doing S-Off?
Just wanted to make absolutely sure I wasn't missing something (Or if there was a method posted somewhere outside of XDA)

It looks like this is no longer possible with the OTA update? Tried it and it didn't work.
Has anyone been able to temp-root after taking the T-Mobile OTA update?
Is there another method, perhaps off XDA, that works?
Anyone?
No, pretty much all died once S-OFF was about. So long as you have the stock RUU that your phone is on at present (or nearest you can get) you can revert to stock at any time

How/where do you get a stock RUU?
And does it turn S-OFF back to S-ON?

Same problem
Having same problem. Updated to 1.45 T-Mobile OTA and now fre3vo exploit fails.
Desperately needing temp root to backup current stock ROM since seems like no T-Mobile European stock ROM (in my case Czech) is available for download
If anyone is aware of T-Mobile EU(CZ would be the best) RUU existence/download link I would really appreciate and will move into revolutionary.io way instead of looking for temp root.

If you are referring to this link then could you please point to T-Mobile European RUU? There are clearly two T-Mobile RUUs but both are US.

Hi everyone, I'm in need of urgent help.
I S-Off, rooted, and installed LeeDroid on my mother-in-law's phone. We believe it has a hardware issue, so need to return it to HTC/T-Mobile for repair.
I've followed this guide to originally root it, and now to return it to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Within this thread is a link to stock ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
I installed the lateset TMOUS ROM, but it's not what it had originally, I'm assuming it's not UK specific?
Can anyone help? I tried to update the software via the phone but it failed. It said something about it being modified???
I also couldn't ask on the original thread due to my low post count.
Many thanks, Chris
Give a try with the old UK Ruu and update. Did you changed back the CID? I'm wondering why you are able to flash tmous when you changed back everything.
Tmous means T-mobile USA and that is deffently not a part of UK since some years.
You need the UK ones

I changed the CID when rooting it as per the guide, but didn't change it again while returning to S-ON. I don't know what it was originally? And to be honest, I have no idea what it is/what it does?

Was there a branding from t-mobile on the mobile ? I only see uk Vodafone in the thread ... maybe there is a generic uk rom or you can use the generic europe one...you can try the last europe ruu and check if it's the same before the installation of the leedroid.

The CID basically decides which ROM you can flash to your phone.
And of course I'm talking about RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) which checks if you have the right CID to install the chosen ROM.
The SuperCID, is a code that gives you permission to install any RUU. Not just the one you should have.
So, when you got the SuperCID, you were able to install the USA version of the RUU.
You don't know the old Software Version and Radio you had?
Edit: I assume you did a nandoird backup, restore it and search for the RUU coresponding to software version and radio and so on...

Say if I flashed a custom "stock rom" with boot image and everything as such in the link below.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21922297&postcount=1)
Now when I relock my bootloader, I get the security warning - does this mean I have to flash a RUU so i can relock it without the security warning?
I've spent at least 6 straight hours trying to get S-Off to no avail.
Hello,
I just got a mail from HTC Elevate saying:
Who here wants an ICE CREAM SANDWICH? We do! Hopefully you do, too. We're happy to announce the first round of software previews in HTC elevate and you are in the first group of folks who will be able to participate!
To get this rolling, we'll need you to tell us some information about your device. Once we have this info, assuming it's all 100% accurate, we'll be able to push ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) straight to you via HTC's software distribution server- like magic!
To get started, head into the ACTIVITY now.
Cheers!

Glad I didn't now...though it looks like it may be next week before we get it

If you search this thread, you will find the RUU file (executable file that contains ROM, radio and firmware all in one). You just need to plug in, run the RUU and follow the prompts
You didn't specify your model so I'll point out that this is for the Sensation Z710A.

Did you change your CID before flashing your custom ROM? You might have to change this back before running this RUU.

It is definitely a Telstra branded device.
I just managed to flash the above... Had to manually put it into boot loader... Now phone won't turn on completely, similar to previous issues hence having to take it back to Telstra..
