[Q] Revolutionary and XTC Clip - HTC Desire S

Ok. So I was in such a hurry and very naive to think that Revolutionary will unlock my Desire S by making it S-OFF.
My question is: Will there be any conflict with XTC Clip after the phone had been already S-OFFed using Rev.? Will I be able to unlock it now or do I have to find a way to S-ON it first?

With revolutionary your device should be unlocked, maybe you forgot to root, rooting and s-off got nothing to do with each other, s-off is just needed to gain root
Cause your device is s-off I would recommend you to flash another bootloader and replace the revolutionary one, because there are some problems related to it, but using xtc doesn't make much sense for me, because it would s-off an already s-offed device and the bootloader would still stay the same^^

That's what I was thinking at first, but after searching the forum all I could find was that it can't be software unlocked, but only using xtc clip... I'm glad I don't need to pay extra 20€ for an unlock.
Do you have any suggestion for a bootloader?
My shipped rom was:
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed/0.98.0002

Only the 2.00.0002 bootloader can't be unlocked with revolutionary, if it's not maybe try it one more time or make it with xtc-clip it's 100% save that your device is s-off after that. Check if it's really not s-offed, just shutdown your device, wait till it's really shutdown (wait about 20 secs), then hold vol - and push power till your device starts.
After this you should be in bootloader, if you got s-off it's writen at the top of it and you just have to root it with gingerbreak.apk (just google for it to download ) or flash an custom rom or recovery or bootloader or all of this (take also a look at the index thread within the development section)^^
I would recommend you the the 0.98.2000 bootloader and the 4ext recovery, just look at the development section both got an own thread^^

My Desire S is S-OFF. But I can't downgrade from 6.98.0002 that Revolutionary gave me to 0.98.2000. What should I do about that? Also, gingerbreak just gets stuck on rooting forever. I've checked for both the memory card and usb debuging...

download clockworkmod or 4ext recovery zip, rename it to PG88IMG.zip put it to root of sd go to bootloader and flash it.
Download the zip or the .img from the hboot thread (if it's a zip unpack it) and put the hboot.img to root of your sd
Reboot to recovery
Instal adb at your desktop, plug in your device and run
adb devices
adb shell
dd if=/dev/mmbclk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p18

Yes but it doesn't make much sense with a miui rom.
The new bootloader got a different partition table, the /system/lib is an own partition, but only the new sense roms make advantage of this, at miui it's just wasted space.
I would recommend you the one in my signature.

Sry, there's a typo at the first dd it's mmcblk0p18 not mmbclk0p18
With the second try within adb shell
mount /sdcard
before the dd commands.
That means:
adb devices
adb shell
mount /sdcard
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p18
exit
adb reboot bootloader

still nothing. could you please tell me what mmcblk0p18 is and how do I get it since it says: dd: can't open '/dev/mmcblk0p18': No such file or directory

Try within shell
cat /proc/partitions
Mmcblk0p18 is the partition where your hboot is placed, with the dd command the image file replaces this partition

It's /dev/block/mmcblk0p18

ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.0.9 for the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide (MoDaCo edition)

Cool! I got a myTouch 4G Slide!
Not cool! No ClockworkMod recovery!
Solution! Make my own.
You must have a 'S-OFF' device to install this recovery image!
Here is my unofficial MoDaCo build of ClockworkMod for the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide / aka HTC Doubleshot. In order to flash this recovery, you need to have temproot or permanent root via Fr3evo (grab from here, push to /data/local, run via ADB then reconnect after it drops your connection for root access). If you need ADB, you can grab it here.
You use this image at your own risk! Proceed with caution!
To install, simply...
Download the ClockworkMod image file from here
Copy the file to /data/local ('adb push doubleshot.clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.modaco.img /data/local')
Write the image to the recovery partition ('dd if=/data/local/doubleshot.clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.modaco.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21')
Do a recovery reboot to test ('adb reboot recovery').
That's it!

My device is ship s-off can't use this methods.so i used sdcard flash succeeded. Thanks!
Crossing my fingers that someone finds a way to get S-off on these. I'm too spoiled with CM7, I forgot what it's like to have a "stock" phone that you can't delete unwanted apps, overclock, tweak, etc.
I think I might just box up the MTS4G and continue to use my G2 until true root is available.
Can we get an hboot dump from someone with S-off? Just curious if it's possible to flash that to hboot with temp root?

Specifically this command is a raw linux command that would work on almost any machine. It's telling the dd utility to copy the img file to the /dev/ mount in the specific block mmcblk0p21.
Every partition is grouped into blocks. Usually 512kbytes but it could be something else.

Are you forgetting the fact that the MT4GS is also a Sense phone? While I like Sense, the option to use regular old Android should always be there (I'm looking at YOU, Motorola).
In the bounty thread it had been noted that that there is no on board charging circuit on the phone and that if certain factors do not exist in recovery then the phone can not charge.
I was wondering if this has affected you, out you have already compensated for this. If you have that issue resolved it may be of help to nbetcher and others looking to give us s-off.

Did you elevate yourself to root first?
If you're not sure. At the android prompt type su [enter]

This line isn't working.
Is there a missing "ADB" or "ADB SHELL" that's supposed to go in front of the dd?
Or is this command supposed to be executed on the device itself?

I believe its suppose to be executed on the device, however if the device doesn't have root, than its useless.
You can use fastboot to flash it.
I'm getting the same charging issue as everyone else.
If the phone is off, and you plug the charger in, the LED will light up. But the phone will not charge, it will freeze, and you must do a battery pull to get it to boot from that point.
Any idea for the fix?

Rooting MyTouch 4G Slide HBOOT 1.44.0006

So I know this is a stupid question, but I just go my MT4GS and lets just say it's not the run in the mill got it from the store. An HTC rep swapped my G2 for this phone since my G2 was dying on me. With that said, the MT4GS is running HBOOT 1.44.0006 which I realize isn't the standard .0007 HBOOT.
The thing is, the phone is already S-OFF'd however I can't flash clockwork onto it, even through the Fastboot method. So any help?

To flash the recovery
1) use fre3vo for temp root
adb push fre3vo /local/data/
adb shell fre3vo

2) copy the recovery to the device
adb push recovery.img /local/data
3) obtain privileges and copy the recovery to the right partition

OK.
First of all I downloaded the correct recovery image from the clockworkmod site. Then renamed it "recovery.img" and moved to the same folder of ADB.
In the step 3 when you type "su" from the adb shell you elevate privileges to root;
when you "dd if=/data/local/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21" you copy the recovery image from /data/local to "mmcblk0p21" that is the recovery boot partition.
After that, to obtain permanent root, you shold copy the "su" file from http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip to the doubleshot sd card and install from recovery (this is better explained in the s-off /root thread you can find in the developer section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286324).
This is not a fail proof procedure but it worked for me use at your own risk.
By the way, sorry about my english.

downgrade HBOOT 2.00.0002 to 0.98.00000 without using HTCDEV unlock

SEEMS TO WORK ONLY WITH VERSIONS THAT GOT THEIR UPDATE BEFORE NOVEMBER (EUROPE SHOULD WORK, ASIA/INDIA I DO NOT KNOW!!!)
IF THERE IS A NEW TEMPROOT EXPLOIT AVAILABLE IT SHOULD WORK FOR NEWER VERSIONS ALSO
okay now more in detail
first you have to know that you will loose all data on your system, please backup bevor doing anything!!
what you will need:
- misc_version http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/wiki/misc_version
this will change your version information on your desire s later
- zergRush https://github.com/revolutionary/zergRush/downloads
this will give you temporary root privilieges (so that you can change the version number)
- phone
- chargecable
- adb-shell (see this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595)
- windows os on your pc
- RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
--> please notice: if you have a branded device, use a branded RUU to downgrade!!
1. Connect your phone to your PC in debug mode (Set option in settings (application --> developer)
2. unzip the downloaded files in a folder (e.g. c:/Users/yourName/Downloads)
3. run the Terminal (Windowsbutton + R --> cmd) and change into the folder where the files are (change folder with 'cd')
4. now type to the terminal (every line is one command!)
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
now type
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp/
./zergRush
--> now adb shell closes and restarts, instead of having a $ you have a # which means root
5. now type
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
--> this will change your version information
6. now you can doubleclick on the privous downloaded RUU and follow the steps. it may tell you from going down from version 2.xx to 1.xx but it is possible.
7. phone reboots and when it is up again you should have android 2.3.3 hboot 0.98.0000 S-ON
8. now just download revolutionary from http://revolutionary.io and create a beta key and start programm

if it was helpful, please use the thanks button!!
(i'm newbie) i don't understand step 3..
This Howto describes how to get down from hboot 2.00.0002 to 0.98.0000
without using htcdev unlock
Requirements:
- misc_version
- zergRush from xda)
- Desire S
- adb-shell (HTC Sync contains it i think)
- RUU from earlier Version 1.28.401.1 RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe - download now for free. File sharing. Software file sharing. Free file hosting. File upload. FileFactory.com
1. connect phone with chargecable, debug mode on, only charge
2. start terminal (Windows+R --> cmd)
cd .. (so on)
go in to the folder where zergRush and misc_version are
3.
type following
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/zergRush
4. when u got from $ to # (which means root) type the following
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
5. your desire s thinks its a version earlier
6. dobleclick the RUU und follow the steps
--ATTENTION YOU LOOSE YOUR DATA -- PLEASE BACKUP!!!
7.phone reboots with hboot 0.98.0000 S-On
8. follow the other steps from revolutionary to get s-off
PS: i tried the other way around and i am successful s-on again! (so no loss of warranty)
Is there anyone else who tried this method?
3 people in german android-hilfe.de forum.
but some seem to have problems when their desire is branded (dont know if the use branded ruu or not)
Hi,
Im reall sorry if im being stupid but what is misc_version?
It is a script that lets u change the Version on your phone. I will look for one

What's the difference between using the misc_version here to "change" your version compared to getting your phones misc version .img from "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p17.img" and then altering it and re uploading it?
To my understanding the one uploaded just patches your misc version where the other one you do it manually.
Or am I so lost I should go home?
should work either. but with the script it is easier, isnt it?
Because its easier for newbies to understand and your way uses more adb
Not that many people understand adb
Thanks, was just wondering.

It is not wise to link a specific RUU, since there are already new versions for all regions (Europe, Asia, etc.) and soon the branded will join also.
However a link to the sticky Stock ROMs thread should be handy
I can not find them
Do I need to flash the downgrade.zip?

Yes it is the right thread to follows, but keep in mind that the ZergRush file linked there is the source code (zergrush.c) and will not work. You need the binary (file named zergrush). If you are rooted you do not need ZergRush to use misc_version. After the ICS update your main software version became 14.01.401.2. To be able to downgrade to lower (for example 1.28.401.1) version you have to change it, otherwise the RUU will not continue. This is what misc_version is used for.
Follow the instructions carefully and you will make it.

Thans Alot you are really a helpful person
yes followed all the instructions step by step, but when it comes to the 3rd & 4th command (adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush and adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version) nothing happens, 1st and 2nd command is okay they did work, yes the problem exactly i guess with the "ZergRush file", how to get the binary file?

so what can i do?
Maybe it will be much easier to unlock the bootloader again, flash a custom recovery (it is rooted) and use the adb shell in recovery to push and execute misc_version. Then lock the bootloader and run the RUU

If you have "limited information" it is because you are refusing to read. Everything that you could possibly need is on the forum already. Read the stickies, read the major threads, make sure you understand what you are doing and why. It isn't rocket science - but people will not spoon-feed you the answers all day long as we have far better things to do with our lives.

[Q] S-OFF and SuperCID on cid HTC_038 ?

How do i get S-OFF and supercid on cid HTC_038 (x920d - dlxub1) ?
Thanks
EDIT ************* S-OFF Steps
Revone Download:
http://revolutionary.io/revone
1) Download the Revone file above and transfer it to your phone (or download on your phone)
2) Use a root file explorer like ROM TOOLBOX LITE and paste the file inside the /data/local/tmp folder on phone
3) Open a terminal emulator on phone using same app as above and type following:
su (enter)
cd /data/local/tmp (enter)
chmod 755 revone.bin (enter)
./revone.bin -P (enter)
Reboot
4) Open terminal again and type:
su (enter)
cd /data/local/tmp (enter)
./revone.bin -s 0 -u (That would be a ZERO) (enter)
Reboot
5) That’s it! To get rid of the tampered, or relock, follow instructions below
To remove “tampered”
open terminal
cd /data/local/tmp
su
./revone.bin -t
These are other commands that you can fill in above to
-u – Unlock the device
-l – Lock the device (as if it was never unlocked)
-r – Relock the device (mark the device as relocked)
-t – Reset the device’s tamper flag.
