I am new to this whole android business. Ok so I just rooted my Mytouch 3G Slide and was going to use AlphaRev 1.8 to gain S-off on my device. Well everything was going good and then suddenly I got an error message saying that HBOOT 1.02 is not supported!!! I have been through hell and back just to get my device rooted and with that finally becoming successful I am hoping someone out there can help me with either another way to gain S-off or tell me how I can downgrade my HBOOT. That is another problem... I tried to downgrade my HBOOT with a method on another post here on XDA developers and I got an error during recovery saying that HBOOT can not be rolled back!!!! WTF Someone please help me with these issues I would greatly appreciate it!!!!!!!

Hello! I am not new to rooting...I did get a new EVO 4G at best buy yesterday...
Went home and tried to root following another method than unrEVOked 3.21 and long story short had to RUU with "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15 .00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444_signed"
I then tried unrEVOked 3.21 which SEEMED to work... I followed all onscreen prompts...
Plugged in my phone, ran the program, phone rebooted, selected HBOOT USB, Program reported that everything was going along nicely...even saw the program say waiting for root..."this was a triumph" Rebooted..then came back up to desktop...didnt reboot in recover like i have seen... the program then reverts to saying the thing about HBOOT USB.... there is NO SuperUser app and it is NOT rooted...
Please tell me where I went wrong...and what I need to do to fix it...
Info about MY Phone
Android Version 2.2
Baseband Version 2.15.00.07.28

I made it to Step 19...then S#*+ went crazy...It appears that the recover did NOT flash...not really sure...I am now trying to RUU my phone back...and start over but it keeps saying the phone is low battery <30% and its NOT...I looked at 3 batterys on a Hero and it says all are over 70%...
and ..since im pretty sure this matters...with S-OFF
When I try to flash PC36IMG.zip Radio_V2 FAIL-PU and...Bootloader FAIL-IC is what I get...
ALL help greatly appreciated...thankfully I am off work the next two days...So I know I can get this resolved
Ok I have done a lot of reading that seems to indicate that I have no ROM or my ROM is Broken...and seeing as how RUU keeps saying my battery level is too low I am going to put it on the charger til the light turns green...Try to RUU in the Morning...
***SOMEONE PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG ***
I am under the impression that RUU'ing will NOT Turn S-ON and will Leave S-OFF
But will just load a ROM and allow me to boot in and then run unrEVOked and be on my merry rooted way...
If ANYONE knows that it will turn S-ON please stop me lol...I am going to stop trying for now and get some sleep... will check this post before continuing..
hi guys... i got Big probleam...
few fays ago i had my S-off and root open.... (no Super CID and S-On)
today i got officially 2.3.4 but it's not install because of S-off...
than direct i process to do S-On without Super CID.
in the process of S-On again my phone is gone Blanck not anything happen in my phone... no fastboot noting ihad try many tymes battery out and in but nothing...
Please please....
If your talking about the Over The Air update from T Mobile for 2.3.4 you cant receive updates from T Mobile once you have S off Tis the point of having S Off Just find yourself a sweet rom to download and use that the devlopers will update your rom way better than T Mobile ever will
sorry to hear about your luck. never tried turning s-on. but i thought i remember reading that it's way more dangerous to do that then it is to get s-off. you're likely sol. try posting this in q & a, you might get more help and the answers you need there. good luck
You can STILL get OTA with S-OFF. I did and many others here did too. You cannot get OTA with root. Root and S-OFF are very different things.
I would take this to the Q/A section, as people there jump for things like this. Get your USB cable ready and your thanks button prepared!

Can someone please help me? i currently have the HTC sensation i have Android Revolution HD 3.6.2 phone is s-off it says hboot 1.17.2008(PG5810000)
Radio 10.14.9035.01_M
I want to return to stock tmob rom because the battery life was just better for me and i just dont want to mod anything..none of the roms i d/l work the phone will boot to HTC screen and keep flashing only the Android Revolution works, phone shows as it is not rooted when using root checker but busybox is ok, I have read everything on how to unroot started with the guide from from this forum but when i tried using the 1.29 tmobile ruu it says error 155...is there anything else i can do..i have been at it for almost a week and just wanna go stock anyone that can help much appreciated
Im sorry i take back my last post i have returned to a stock tmobile rom right after this post..im a noob at this its my first android phone
Which RUU did you use? I've been having a similar problem where I try to flash other ROM's after a SuperWipe, and only Android Revolution Works. and I tried the RUU for Tmobile both of them that are in the development thread and got error 155.
i have no idea why roms other than revolution worked..i wanted to go stock, if thats what you are trying to do then i made the mistake of NOT SHOWING HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS..you must do this in control panel settings...after that i followed step by METHOD 2 - ENG HBOOT in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
i used RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed
try going back into stock then doing a new s-off/root if you really want to..i'm not going to try it again for some time...best of luck
Hello to every one here in this forum.
I am posting here a topic about a problem I have with my new htc inspire 4G.
I had rooted my phone with success with the ace hack kit and loaded the revolution
HD rom .after one o 2 days II thought I load the radio that was given with this rom
So I went to make the phone eng s-off and I forgot to check the I have s-off.
Now the problem is I cannot get to the boot screen and when I turn on the phone it takes about half an hour to start. After that every thing is ok.trying every thing to get the stock rom back but no success. All the methods I found at this forum will fail. The phone just freezes and I have to take the battery to start it again and wait for half an hour to start.
Any help would be grateful.
Thanks.
Look for Gene Poole's s-on tool. Follow his instructions and return to stock. Then try the hack kit from attn1. You should be set then.

You need to get a proper hboot installed. The newer Inspires have some hardware just enough different that the ENG hboot and/or the older Froyo hboot images will cause just this problem. Since you were able to install this, then you are obviously S-OFF. As such, you can install a new hboot from the booted phone (once it is finally booted) but it is tricky and involves operations that could really screw things up. Your best bet is to jump into the IRC channel and get some real-time help with this:

proper hboot
Hello and thanks for your replys.
I am new to these things and i did manager to root my phone with sucsess and load a new rom. The only problem is with the hboot now. How can i fix it to be ok. If i have fast boot enable the phone starts up in 5 sec. if i do not i have to wait about half an hour to start after that every thin is working ok.
What do i have to do?
Any more help would be gratfull.

Have you tried hittng the irc link above that gene poole posted for you??????
I got your 10 char right here
You should read up on this phone in the threads. Its been stated many places that eng s-off messes with the new hboot and you dont even need it to flash a radio. Hboot does this with a pd98img without needing eng s-off. But I hope you go to the link suggested and get it fixed. Stay away from eng s-off.

Afternoon all,
A little help and advice if I may?
Running a custom ROM with HBoot 2.19 and S-On
Trying very hard to return to full blown unrooted stock so banking apps will work (I've tried every work around there is possible to fake unroot but they just don't work).
This gentleman here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...m-official-stock-android-4-3-sense-5-t2837799 ) seems to be the means of getting back to stock but requires S-Off and HBoot 2.22
I've tried firewater but get an error saying HTC have put anti-firewater protection in then it bombs out. (Tried using KAngaroo kernal and SS Kernal from the dev page)
I've tried rumrunner_HTC_0.5.0 but even with Windows Firewall off, no anti-virus and even putting my laptop into a DMZ I still get the fatal error when trying to download the tool.
From what I gather I cannot get onto HBoot 2.22 to try alternative custom Roms until I S-Off the bloody thing which appears to be impossible.
Any ideas?
All comments will receive thumbs up and a cake in the post.
Thanks
That backup should still work even if you're S-on. It did for me. I'm not sure about the HBOOT but if you backup where you are now, you're no worse off if it doesn't work.
I had to do the same thing so my network's Wi-Fi calling app would work.
I only had to S-off afterwards to change my CID to get official OTA updates, you may not need to do that step in which case S-off is fine.
