You need to be a little more involved.
How did you s-off?
-Turn off fastboot menu/settings/power/fastboot (on the phone)
-Turn on USB debugging menu/Settings/Applications/Development/USB debugging (on the phone)
Download this file here, it has the adb and fastboot files needed
-Extract the file to "c:\" so that the path looks like this C:\android-tools
-Install HTCDriver (Fastboot drivers) (should already be installed from revolutionary if you s-offed by them) but here's the link again
-Open cmd and type "cd/"
-then type "cd android-tools"
*To test whether you have set up all the files correctly and your phone is connected correctly you can do the following;
*Plug your phone in (when plugging in select CHARGE ONLY (i.e. leave on the home screen)
*In cmd type "adb" and press enter, it should show a list of commands, then type "fastboot"and press enter, it should also show a list of commands)
*If both these commands work you have extracted the files to the right place and have setup cmd right.
*then type "adb devices"
*Should show connected phone serial if not then try get the latest HTCdrivers
To flash the ENG HBoot you can use one of these methods;
1) Fastboot
-Place the .img file (extracted from PG88IMG.zip) into C:\android-tools
-Boot phone into fastboot
-Run command "fastboot flash hboot engHBOOToverARX.img" in CMD
2) Android Flasher
-Download from here
-Select phone, select Hboot .img (bootloader)
-Boot phone into fastboot and select FLASH
3) Updater file (PG88IMG.zip)
-Place PG88IMG.zip File on your SD card root, and boot into HBoot, and follow onscreen instructions
4) adb shell (LAST LAST resort, one typo and you can brick your phone, do some reserch before doing it
-Place the hboot on your SD card and remane it to "hboot.img"
-Boot into recovery
-adb devices - Must show your serial
-adb shell
-su (it should show #, that means you have the right permission, if it shows $ afterwards you dont have permission)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img (backup your current hboot)
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (flashes new hboot)
To get into Hboot; switch phone off and the press power+vol down
To get start fastboot (boot Hboot, plug phone in "HBoot USB plug" shows once phone is plugged in and press the power button (fastboot is highlighted by default) then it says "Fastboot USB")
*(As a test to ensure you have put your phone into fastboot type "fastboot devices" in cmd, it will show your phones serial, if it shows nothing you have not put your phone into fastboot yet)

ADB Shell doesnt recognize phone in Fastboot mode only fully powered on

I was always able to ADB shell into my phone after i installed the proper USB drivers as well as Pull up ADB DEVICES no problem and i SAW ADB DEVICE in my device manager
Ok i have finally got to the steps where i have flashed my sappimag.zip file to my Mytouch successfully. that ROM has been flashed and now when i boot the phone up it says VODAFONE and i can get intot he phone fully
I have turned the device off and hold the BACK and POWER button and the FASTBOOT screen comes up. i plug in the USB cable an FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB ok great.
i pull up CMD and type in ADB SHELL and it says DEVICE NOT FOUND. i type in ADB DEVICES and its blank.
I power down and power back up fully and same thing (but it was working before the flash of sappimg.zip)
i downloaded and installed HTC SYNC which supopsedly has updated XP drivers and it did.
i power down phone and power back up as normal and pull up CMD ADB SHELL works fine and ADB DEVICES shows my serial number. ok making progress.
I have turned the device off and hold the BACK and POWER button and the FASTBOOT screen comes up. i plug in the USB cable an FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB ok great.
i pull up CMD and type in ADB SHELL and it says DEVICE NOT FOUND. i type in ADB DEVICES and its blank still again.
what gives? why does this only work now with phone fully booted and not in fastboot mode?
also note my device manager no longer has ADB DEVICE anymore its gone.
adb doesn't work in fastboot mode.
edit for clarity: When you boot the phone in fastboot mode, adb isn't supposed to work. You have to boot fully, or boot into one of the recovery images that supports adb for it to work, fastboot doesn't support adb at all.

ok so what does this mean in the directions then? how am i supposed to perform the below directions in red then?
FLASH your T-Mobile myTouch 3G
Make sure are using fastboot from the latest SDK (release 3) !
- Power-off your device
- Insert the goldcard
- Power on while holding volume down (of fastboot your device and then press volume down)
- It should pick up the sappimg.zip and you should be able to flash it.
- Once the flashing is FULLY finished power off your device.
- Remove the goldcard and insert the SD (with update.zip)
- Power on while holding back (=fastboot) and connect the USB cable
- Download my RAv1.2.0H recovery and fastboot it :
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
it means exactly what it says:
Download the recovery image to your computer then, from your computer, run the command:
"fastboot boot recovery-image-name.img"
fastboot is a command line utility that comes with the android sdk. It allows you to push recovery images to the phone while it's in fastboot mode and boot them.
adb is used to communicate with the phone while it's running an android image, NOT while it's in fastboot mode.

ok i understand what you mean and say BUT look at the directions and it clearly says:
POWER ON WHILE HOLDING BACK (FASTBOOT) and then CONNECT USB
when i read that it makes me thnk think literal and to hold the Back button my my device and hold power and watch it come into fas boot mode and then when itmentions connect USB it makes me think im supposed to go into ADB shell commadn and then type that command in.
so im definately not trying to argue with you just trying to get you to se my point of view on why i am confused thats all.
i really apreciate your help on this.

ok one thing that again is confusing is that you say ADB can not recognize the phone while in fastboot mode but then you said i use the fastboot command line to push recovery images to the phone while its in fastboot mode.
how am i suppose to do that if the ADB shell (where i run the fastboot command line from) does not work if the phone is in fastboot mode (the mode it has to be in to accept recovery images)
see what i mean very confusing.
i just rebooted my phone normal. connected it to USB and went into CMD and ADB shell comes up fine
i typed in ADB SHELL
and then :
# fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
and it says:
C:\>adb shell
# fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
fastboot: not found
fastboot is different from adb........
2 different programs. adb.exe and fastboot.exe
just place the fastboot.exe file from the sdk into system32.
and try to put the recovery file in to the sdcard.
rename it to recovery.img to prevent misspelling .

I guess my Mytouch is now rooted? but wth a 32A radio?
i want to flash a 32B cyanogen 3.9.10 rom onto this device and using the directions below:
For Daredevils : Perform the following steps only if you want to revert to a 32B based radio and ROM.
Revert to 32B Radio and ROM :
- Download your favorite 32B ROM and copy it to your sdcard
- Download the Ion radio image from the HTC site.
- Extract radio.img from ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip using your favorite rar/zip program.
- Download my 32B RAv1.2.0G recovery.
- Fastboot your mobile and connect it via USB :
where it says copy your favorite ROM to your SD card well the ROM name i want is called "update-cm-3.9.10-signed.zip"
do i need to rename it to anything? or just leave it as it is?
do i literally just copy that file to my clean empty SD card no renaming to UPDATE or something like that?
Hi everybody, it's my first message here for a big promblem to solve.
First of all my Sapphire version is 32A SHIP S-ON H
I tried to install a Hero version on my Magic by following a recent tutorial.
- I tried to use ecovery-RAv1.2.0H.img (and older version) without success.
- After copying a JACxHERO version (and rename --> update.zip on the SD Card), I lauched the update with daldroid-recovery.img.
- The phone doesn't start (blocked with HTC Magic on the screen)
Problems:
- The backup I did with daldroid doesn't work
- My phone doesn't boot normally anymore
- I can't access the SD Card anymore (with Windows | Dos )
- The USB drivers are correctly installed
What is THE solution to reset the phone (by putting an original version of android on it)???
Thanks a lot for your help!

"update-cm-3.9.10-signed.zip" is perfect. Copy it to the SD, but rename to update.zip JIC.

thank you
With Amon_RA's RAv1.2.0 recovery you don't need to rename . I keep my favourite roms in my sd card and switch back and forth all the time
You just select (when fastbooted into recovery) Flash - Choose .zip, and you get a list with all .zip files on sd card root Sweeeet
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or i will be forced to ban you for 3 days or till you learn.

Changing Hboot from 6.98.1002

I rooted a while back using revolutionary, and currently have hboot 6.98.1002.
I could really do with getting back to s-on and stock etc etc, but every guide I follow just doesn't seem to work.
I have searched, and searched and searched, but I'm a week down the line and still unable to change my hboot.
I'm at pains to start a new thread, but this thing is drving me bonkers.

did u try this exe?

Install the RUU
How to check if downloaded RUU is compatible with your phone:
To avoid errors etc, you need to confirm your phone is unbranded, i.e. check if your CID matches the CID check list in the RUU you downloaded.
To do this Run the installer, then go to your Windows Temp Folder, sort the folder by date and pick the folder with the latest date, and locate the rom.zip file inside, open it up and open the android-info.txt file. Your CID should be in the list, if not then you need to create a GoldCardto install that RUU.
Here is a list of RUU's you can download for your phone [ROM]Shipped Desire S ROM Collection - xda-developers
Here and here are two great threads for HTC Desire S Guides
Thanks so much for the replies fellas. I'm away from my comp until this evening, but I'll relpy once I've tried these out.
This will work

Not sure of the command right now, Google it, like how to check you cId, then when you run the RUU go to your temp folder, I think there is a file called android.txt in the folder with the rom.zip is and it has the list.

How I rooted my Thunderbolt 2.11.605.9

I got a new Thunderbolt and it came with 2.11.605.9 on it and would not downgrade no matter what I tried.
All these instructions and links came from several different posts on various forums.
This is the combination of things that worked for me to gain root access to the device.
The information and links I take no credit for.
Hope this helps someone as it has helped me.
I did not loose my data with this.

i used these steps and I still have s on. When I tried to flash a new rom it gets stuck at the htc boot screen. Any help would be great!
I think I would use the downgrade to .5 then revolutionary from there..

I tried this just now but when it goes through the integrity check it does not give me the option to update.
Yes, if you can downgrade at all do it that way. It's much simpler. If you aren't familiar with linux the above will be a hassle for you.
Reason being is, you have to remount the file system to read write every time you want to make a change. It resets to read only on reboot. Thus the s-on.
the weird thing is I already have a rooted devices cause I have the cwm recover still loaded on my device. Just can not flash anything over it. Im on windows 7 right now but I dual boot my laptop with linux mint.
I haven't tried to flash a ROM yet. I just wanted access to some system files so I could edit them.
But according to the post I got the Clockwork info from the below steps should work to flash ROMs.
1. Copy <ROMname>.zip (where <ROMname> is the name of the ROM zip file) to your sdcard root
2. Start clockworkmod recovery :
---A. Unplug USB
---B. Turn the device off
---C. Hold volume down button (HOLD IT) and press power
---D. Hboot will start. Navigate to recovery with the vol down button. Press power to select and enter recovery.
3. Select "install zip from sdcard"
4. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
5. Then select "<ROMname>.zip"
6. Then select "Yes - install <ROMname>.zip" to confirm
7. Then go back
8. Then reboot.
I don't know however if the ROM has to be signed.
need a hero
I followed this guide and every other guide to root my phone. I could not downgrade the way the other guides told me to the 2.11.605.5 at all. I followed this guide and when i was in the bootloader i did the whole fastboot flash and it worked but now my phone still says s-on (strange thing is that I have the clockwork recovery). I can flash any rom but nothing will take and I either go into bootloop or will not boot past splash screen. I need a true hero to save the day. It is my only phone and means of communication.
Did you get SU and busybox installed?
I'm not sure, I can't boot in any rom so if it was in the su.zip this guide linked me to yes, if not i didn't. Could this be the problem? Can I fix it through h-boot or recovery?
The method I used will allow root access but does not give you s-off.
I'm still looking for what has to be done for that.
apparently you have to have s-off in order to flash a ROM.
I was able to flash skyraider and now have my phone up and running. I updated superuser, installed Rom manager and flashed clockwork recovery. My phone still says s-on and will not boot any bamf 3.5 roms or the eternity rom, so I'm still kinda confused as to why. I would love to have a sense 3.5 Rom but I'm stumped...
That is strange, being able to flash one ROM but not others.
I still think it's got to do with the s-on/s-off.
Supposedly ICS is coming for the T-Bolt soon.
I'm hoping it won't be locked down like 2.11.605.9 is.
i rooted as soon as rooting was available, no downgrading or anything, it was easy as pie. js
Have you tried going to revolutionary's site after the OP method and try to get s-off... HTC method will not give you s-off & is not a true rooting tool..
Big thanks to the OP for putting this together!
This was the only way for me to gain root on a factory flashed 605.9 phone.
EDIT: i'm a linux user so i thought i would share what i did to get root. it's basically what the OP did with a linux twist.
1) Get Fastboot and adb for linux here: forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=630613&stc=1&d=1308537 331
2) Extract the zip to your home directory.
3) open a terminal and issue the following command: sudo chmod 777 fastboot adb
4) Unlock the bootloader using this site: htcdev.com/bootloader
5) you will need to register/login to use the unlocking features of this site.
6) once logged in follow the "unlock device" links to get to the instructions. use these instructions to put the phone into fastboot mode and connect it to the computer. you can ignore the rest of the instructions as most of them are for windows. just click through until you get to the part about submitting an "unlock token".
7) with the phone in fastboot mode and connected to the computer issue the following command in a terminal: sudo ./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
8) copy this token into the submit box and edit to make it look similar to the example on the same page. submit the token and you'll get an email with a file "Unlock_code.bin"
9) save "Unlock_code.bin" to your home folder then issue the command: sudo ./fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
10) download clockwork recovery to your home folder from here: downloads.unrevoked.com/recoveries/cwm-4.0.1.4-mecha.img
11) issue the command: sudo ./fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-mecha.img
12) Download and install the superuser package
goo-inside.me/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
1. Copy su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip to your sdcard root
2. Start clockworkmod recovery :
---A. Unplug USB
---B. Turn the device off
---C. Hold volume down button (HOLD IT) and press power
---D. Hboot will start. Navigate to recovery with the vol down button. Press power to select and enter recovery.
3. Select "install zip from sdcard"
4. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
5. Then select "su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip"
6. Then select "Yes - install su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip" to confirm
7. Then go back
8. Then reboot.

Your posts are borderline spam at this point.
The only reason you are linking that thread, which has absolutely nothing to do with the op's issue whatsoever, is because that thread links to your thread.
You are again suggesting your 3.12 firmware hack, but this time to someone running a GB rom! Your suggestion will guarentee to bootloop his phone and possibly much worse since he would be mixing GB firmware with ICS firmware! You have done zero testing on that and have no idea how it will react.
Mixing firmwares of completely different versions is VERY risky.
Stop suggestion that people do untested firmware meddling!
Its to the point where you are suggesting this as a fix to everyone with any problem on any rom!

A little clarification.
Dont unpack the zip file so you would need to rezip it. Just open it.
And this way is great because it updates your firmware and rom in 1 easy step. So you will have a completely working ics rom in about 10 minutes.
But you can also just flash the 3.32 furmware you need for ics using a pm58img file preloaded with 4ext recovery, the flash the custom rom of your choice.
But if you do that, make sure to have the custom rom on the sd card first so you will have something to flash. Your old gb rom will not open on the new firmware so tge phone wont be usable right away.
In any case dont sweat it. Switching to ics is twice as easy as it was to root the phone initially.

WRITE SUPER CID [YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE]
(allows you to flash ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier. Just click RUU.EXE)
1. Download adb tools here: download for WINDOWS http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...a7be9bdb/4f9daf2b/6/7/2/5/4/0/ADB-Windows.zip or download for LINUX http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...5cfb155568/4f9daf69/6/7/2/5/4/1/ADB-Linux.zip
2. On your pc click on your local disk C: Drive (or D: drive for some) (WINDOWS users: Start > My computer > Local Disk (C)
3. Create a new folder called "adb" and extract the files from adb.zip into it. Make sure it doesn't create another folder in the adb folder when extracting
4. open command prompt (or terminal for linux) and type "cd" "followed by the path to your adb folder" (windows users can type "cd C:\adb")
5. Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure usb debugging is on settings)
6. enter the command "adb devices". This is to confirm your phone is connected. (It should come back with list of devices attached and your serial number)
7. enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader". (nothing further required device WILL reboot in bootloader)
IF it doesn't you can Manually put the phone in the bootloader/hboot mode
Navigate to fastboot by pressing volume down and pressing power button to select (power off > vol down + power on)
It will take you to the fastboot bootloader screen on your phone
Connect your phone via USB
Your Screen should now read fastboot USB
8. enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
9. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)
10. enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]

4. Flashing RUU manually
4.1 Getting PG58IMG.zip from RUU
Run the RUU executable as you normally would, but don't proceed to the second step i.e. when a second window appears, do nothing. Do not proceed, just ignore it for now, but don't close the window.
- Right-click the Windows Start button and select "Open Window Explorer" option.
-
- If you use Windows XP
Copy-paste this in the navigation bar:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temp\
- If you use Windows Vista/7
Press & hold Windows key on the keyboard and then press R (Win key + R). Once the box pops up, copy paste this:
Code:
%temp%
- Right click anywhere inside explorer window (not on any folder) and select Sort by then select Date.
- Locate the latest one created (first in the list & it will most likely have random numbers in the name) & open it.
- You will find a second folder with a set of random numbers. Open it, inside you will find a number of files and the rom.zip
- Copy the rom.zip file to another location.
- Now, close the RUU executable folder & rename the rom.zip file as PG58IMG.zip
4.4 How to flash PG58IMG
4.4.1 Without a PC, via bootloader
- Put the PG58IMG.zip onto the root of your SD Card
- Reboot to bootloader by Holding Vol down + Power button

- If booted into bootloader, select fastboot > reboot.
- If booted into fastboot, select reboot.
- Connect the SD Card to a computer and delete the PG58IMG.zip file
If this method fails, try 4.4.2
4.4.2 With a PC, via fastboot USB
You will need sdk & and drivers, please take a look here. If you already have it, continue.
- Reboot to bootloader by Holding Vol down + Power button
- Connect your phone to the PC while in the bootloader. The phone should say fastboot USB, if not, select fastboot on the phone & check if it says fastboot USB, if not, change the USB port you are using.

Press & hold Windows key on the keyboard and then press R (Win key + R). Once the box pops up, copy paste this:
Code:
%temp%
- Right click anywhere inside explorer window (not on any folder) and select Sort by then select Date.
- Locate the latest one created (first in the list & it will most likely have random numbers in the name) & open it.
- You will find a second folder with a set of random numbers. Open it, inside you will find a number of files and the rom.zip
- Copy the rom.zip file to another location.
- Now, close the RUU executable folder & rename the rom.zip file as PG58IMG.zip
4.4 How to flash PG58IMG
4.4.1 Without a PC, via bootloader
- Put the PG58IMG.zip onto the root of your SD Card
- Reboot to bootloader by Holding Vol down + Power button
- You will then be asked if you want to install the file, select yes by pressing Vol up.
- Don't touch anything till the install completes
- After the install is complete, when prompted to reboot, open the back casing of the phone and take out the SD Card.
- Then press the power button once to reboot.
- If you experience a boot loop, reboot to bootloader and re-flash the PG58IMG.zip
- If booted into bootloader, select fastboot > reboot.
- If booted into fastboot, select reboot.
- Connect the SD Card to a computer and delete the PG58IMG.zip file
If this method fails, try 4.4.2
4.4.2 With a PC, via fastboot USB
You will need sdk & and drivers, please take a look here. If you already have it, continue.
- Reboot to bootloader by Holding Vol down + Power button
- Connect your phone to the PC while in the bootloader. The phone should say fastboot USB, if not, select fastboot on the phone & check if it says fastboot USB, if not, change the USB port you are using.
- Navigate to the tools folder located inside android-sdk folder
- Copy the PG58IMG.zip file from step 4.1 to this folder
- Hold down shift and right-click anywhere in the empty space inside the window.
- Enter the following command
Code:
fastboot erase cache
- You may not see any output, then enter the command
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
- You phone will now go into the RUU mode.
- Wait for around 30 seconds, then enter the command
Code:
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip
- The installation will begin and you will be able to see the progress at every step.
- Once done, enter the command
Code:
fastboot reboot
- If you experience a boot loop, repeat 4.4.2 again.
You can flash the RUU this way.. It works for me this way

When you are on stock look on settings - > Info - > and check for updates.
If there aren't any updates, then your phone hasn't received it yet in your country.
Then you will have to wait for the update...
