Hi,
i just want to understand something, i was S-Off ,CWR and rooted on my stock ROM. There was a new update so i installed the new official ROM found from here:
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.3_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_219990_signed

After that i installed again the CWR and rooted my phone again with no problem at all. I went to HBOOT today and i saw this:
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
RADIO-10.14.9035.01_M
eMMC-boot

and my question is how did i installed CWR and rooted while my bootloader is locked? Is the locked means that the bootloader can not been writen so i can not install the CWR?
Thanks.
Totally normal. Notice the S-Off part? You have a new hboot now, that's all. If you want extended fastboot commands you'll need to re-run revolutionary or flash the eng hboot. If you don't need them, then you are good to go. Just remember, S-Off IS S-Off
suprised s-off survied the RUU

i also have cwm recovery
however, when i install ANY rom i end up in a boot loop. what could be the problem?
i think im supposed to install a 1.27 hboot? can anyone link me the file?
ill continue reading up in the mean time
Are you flashing the appropriate firmware for the ROM? For ICS ROM's you will need to update your firmware and HBOOT to V3.32 with HBOOT 1.27.000.

Hi,
Yes, you need to flash the appropriate firmware,which for ICS is 3.32
This will give hboot 1.27 ,and the radio you need as well.
Look HERE
It explains everything in detail,and gives you all the links you need...
thanks, ill check it out
EDIT: nice.. after searching for mirrors to files i got it working.. good stuff
Hi. For long time ago i decided to root my phone, i used htc dev. But yesterday i decided to try to get s-off with revolutionary. I followed this guide to downgrade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604255 , i succeded and had hboot: 0.98.0000, but after revolutionary i have this bootloader:
-Revolutionary-
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-38.03.02.11_M
eMMC-boot
Do i need to try and change my hboot to 0.98.0000? I tried to install a custom rom, but it hangs with the white HTC screen, dont know if it help to flash boot.img, as i did because i was s-on, or what there is wrong...?
Yes. If you have unlocked with HTC-Dev then you need to flash the boot.img as well.
OK, here's the skinny:
Win7Ulti 64bit
2x Desire S (one orange branded, one stock)
I have tried updating both from the official RUU from HTC both stall copying the update to the phone and after an hour or so, pulling the cable drops to the bootloader.
I have since unlocked the Orange phone from the HTCDev site, still no joy. I've also tried the PG88IMG zip, which is found, loads then drops back to the bootloader.

Any ideas where I can go from here?
I'm assuming it's my hboot version, everyone seems to be talking about 2.00.2002. Going to try updating it.
As you are S-ON, use my guide for downgrade and use your preferred RUU. If you have followed it correctly, you shouldn't have any problems.

Err, not sure what I should be downgrading, as I'm already on 2.00.0002. Should I be going to lower than this still?

You don't need to downgrade anything if you are using the latest released RUU.
Your bootloader does need to be locked which yours is not.
Let me clear what I've said: you can follow my guide (downgrading guide), but instead of using a downgrade RUU. Use the one that you prefer, may it be the latest RUU (upgrade your hboot, rom, etc), or old (downgrade your hboot, rom, etc). The guide should help you successfully RUU your phones.
Afaik, the PG88IMG.zip update method is only applicable for S-OFF devices. I may need to be corrected here.

K, will try locking again and running the RUU.

RUU
Still just hanging sending the update to the phone; pretty sure this is a comms issue now, but not sure where to go from here. Will have another bash tomorrow.
Sorry for stupid questions, but it's my first HTC phone.
I have following info in bootloader:
Code:
locked
saga pvt ship s-off rl
hboot-2.00.0002
radio-3822.10.08.04_m
emmc-boot

Is it fully working S-OFF unlocked bootloader? I don't understand "locked S-OFF". What can I unlock more? Do you recommend me a downgrade? If yes, why?
What is it ENG bootloader? I've read that it's normal, stock HBOOT, but others describes it as unlocked, S-OFF HBOOT with more commands.
I want to use every ROM at xda without any restrictions.
Thanks for any help.

What you asking is similar with my recent question, you can read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940982
AFAIK when you S-OFF you can flash any ROM for DS easily without need a pc or laptop to flash boot image in case you are S-ON because it will done when you flashing a ROM via recovery.

yesterday I had installed a tmobile ruu. The RUU changed my radio and my hboot. Now I wanted to install my RUU wich i have used at least 3 or 5 times. But it when wanted to run the ruu it says that i have to search a compatible ruu for my phone. but because i have already used the ruu i simply changed the radio to 1.11.50.05.28 but it don't work is it because i have a other hboot?
my ruu: RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4

As you're s-off I think you should reflash stock recovery before you will be able to flash any other RUU successfully...
Also it's not necessary to lock/unlock bootloader once you are s-off.
