Here is the deal.
HTCdev is our ticket in (areyou sure?) YES
but downgrade is needed!
i have the latest htc chacha rom installed an tried this code
''fastboot oem get_identifier_token''
But it seems to be removed from the latest rom
So first thing we need to downgrade the device so then we can unlock the bootloader
To bad i failed to downgrade if some one got te CHACHA with the first rom ever
So check ur rom or tell me how to downgrade the propper way to force the S-on off it!
what do u mean by downgrade? if you are looking to downgrade try this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320392
I tried that and dont work or i make a mistake or sdcard is ****ed ill check when im home

And what makes you think the first (or earlier) rom does have this?
I sure hope the indeed is our way in, because my wife's ChaCha is in dire need of modifying .

Most of the time sdcard is the culprit
@ajeevlal
You have downgraded the hboot right? Why don't you check the fastboot cmd on your chacha?
@RDilus
Which hboot version do you think is needed?
Are you positive about this?
I'm asking because I've just re-checked the htcdev site and ChaCha is not on the supported devices list. Still!

well it is htcdev just dont wanna tell us because they locked the fastboot code on the chacha on the newest rom
the only HBOOT that can do everything is 0.74.0000 on the rom 1.13.401.1 and i can't downgrade to that version so htc is hiding something im now on 1.18.401.1 HBOOT 1.04.0000 i need to push it to a lower version a pre version before i go on
HTC love to fool us but it aint gonna work there is a reason HTC ChaCha is not listed on the site because no one ever came past fastboot oem get_identifier_token
I've not upgraded my Chacha hboot, afaik lol. Though I don't know which version it is.
It came already s-off, I'm lucky. When I can I'll try that command and see if it works.
Thanks
HTCdev just added the HTC Salsa and a bunch of new devices to HTCdev BL unlock tool. Maybe the Chacha could come next.

Yeah I am checking that aswell on a daily base.
It seems HTC is listing more and more devices in a rapid pace lately.
HTCdev to unlock Chacha BL soon?
Look at that:

Looks promising that HTCdev is going to unlock the Chacha soon !

I hope so - once they unlock it (IF they unlock it), the activity here will shoot way up, we'll get custom kernels (would love one of these), and we may even get put back in the main forum
and maybe get official recognition in CM!
That would be a dream come true... my Chacha runs so smoothly and lag-free with SuperOSR (which I see is partly based on CM7?) and xd.bx's last build of CM7.2... official support would make this phone complete
UNLOCKABLE AS OF NOW!!!
Not s-off but bootloader unlocked

hTC Sensation is coming soon ..
Many said that Sensation can't S-OFF
If this is true , will you buy it ?
hTC is perfect we all know that !
If Sensation is able to S-OFF . Then I think it can be the new King of PDA this year and next year .
what's S-OFF?
If it could NEVER achieve S-OFF, or unlocked bootloader (for xnifex), then no i would not buy it. But its always possible, just a matter of how probable, and I think its quite probable. That is why I'm buying sensation over atrix (far less probable)
Custom roms to me are a VERY important part of the android experience, one thing that really sets it apart from apple, and most definately should not be denied to end users

thanks for the explanation. don't know much about Android (yet), but I do know what's meant by that.
True but at least the phone is usable.
I come from a Motorola MIlestone where stock is a JOKE. Even with Launcher Pro, you're looking at a slideshow. Without an overclock and a lot of mods, the phone is utter crap.
Hey we don't have an unlocked bootloader but at least we achieved ROOT. Without S-OFF, the phone is practically useless. However, the benefit is that Sense 3.0 is damn sexy at least. I think I could make do with that.
No way, custom ROMs is a very important part of the Android experience for me.

It hasnt stopped me from flashing all and every type of rom/kernel/morph etc etc

If your flashing roms with custom kernels (i.e. cyanogenmod or miui), then your bootloader is unlocked. Its not possible otherwise, even on nexus

checked and my nexus says
NEXUSONE PVT SHIP S-ON
does this not mean the bootloader is locked
my head hurts......
no interest if it cant be s-off.
Desire HD is the way
Recalls the nightmare of sitting in G2root irc channel getting super frustrated. No I wont buy it especially seeing how Rubin stated there will be a new nexus device with the release of ice cream sandwich

You can't get S-OFF on a N1. You can only unlock the bootloader. Reboot your N1, and on the Nexus Cross splash screen, see if you can find the padlock. It's at the bottom. If it's there, the bootloader is unlocked. Simples
Only a handful of people have S-OFF on their Nexus One's here, one of which is Rusty! although I think he was trying to sell his a few weeks back.
I'm waiting till the Sensation is rooted and bootloader unlocked before I buy one. I may wait till S-OFF is available, but I'll see how things look after it's rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.

My nexus still says S-ON, but just above that in pink writing, it says unlocked, or something like that
Plus the unlock pic on boot up is another give away, but later rooting methods bypassed that somehow, being unlocked but not showing unlock symbol. Not sure how or whatever cause I unlocked mine 2 weeks after I bought it
But I can guarantee if your flashing custom kernels, your unlocked. As android will not allow custom kernels to be flashed unless you have an insecure bootloader

Yeah - ur right - used a later method of root etc (waited for over 3 months to do it) - have no padlock or pink writing
guess i was getting confused between s-off and bootloader lock etc
thanks for clearing that up for me
my head still hurts though.......
why bother about custom roms if the stock rom probably can't be better.
I'am running RCMix S on my HTC desire because the stock software is outdated.
by the time the software of the sensation won't be updated anymore (1,5year) it will be rooted/s-off
I'm waiting to see and feel one in a shop before buying it, I really like the specs but find it quite big.

Well, mods on the stock ROM, for one thing. I'd like to see CRT screen off animation, and deodex and zipalign the stock ROM.

That's interesting that you can flash custom kernels/roms and your phone shows little to no indication of being hacked. Be very handy for warranty jobs lol

this is probably the wrong thread, but i'm not 100% what S-OFF is. what is it??
and if i were to get the Sensation, would I be able to install LauncherPro/ADW Launcher/GO launcher etc on it?
just unlocked my chacha from htcdev.com
at bootloader top screen says unlocked (pinK)
but it is still S-on !!!!
how to s-off this ?
Everything for ChaCha (Status) - S-OFF, root & More.

Definition of lazy and annoying. Couldn't you just search before? At least read the titles on the first page of threads, as maybe someone would've had the same question? No, of course not, because that would've mean to actually spend some time (about 5-10 minutes) to read a couple of replies. Instead it was much better posting a new thread and read the replies 2 days later.
Protip: You don't really need S-OFF if you're HTC-Dev unlocked.

I hear that the rogers version of the htc one x is able to have its bootloader unlocked using htcs unlock tool.
Is this true?
Want to make sure before I go grab this beautiful phone.
Sure but unlock the boot loader, and root what then?
Run Titanium Backup? big deal.
Until the AT&T ONE X can have it's boot loader unlocked, CWM boot loader there will be no cool ROMs.

Care to back that up with a picture? HTCdev does NOT do S-OFF.
EDIT: Added a picture of my bootloader. You can clearly see at the top that although my bootloader's unlocked, I still have S-ON.
ANOTHER EDIT: I just noticed my bootloader reports the date as being April 2nd. Anyone else have the wrong date in their HBOOT? Or maybe that's not the current date, but the date which the HBOOT was built or flashed.
Its the date of the hboot creation

Hi,
I bought HTC Sensation 4G from US 3 days ago.. The device works flawlessly.. But the problem is it does NOT support my language !
Since the International Sensation and Sensation 4G is almost identical .. My question is it possible to Flash international sensation RUU ROM on the Sensation 4G without bricking the device ?! Or doing that will brick it ?!
BTW It's S-OFF already ..
Waiting your replies ..
Thnx in advance
Since it's S-OFF, you're going to have to perform super-cid so that you can flash an international RUU. There's a stickied guide in the Android Development section that tells you how to obtain S-OFF, root, and super-cid. You might want to get another opinion, because I've never had to do it, but from what I've gathered, it's that easy.
1) S-Off and Root (Seems like it's already done, rooting isn't totally required for this)
2) Change CID to super-cid (a bunch of ones)
3) Run RUU.exe and enjoy

I bought a Sensation of a forums site and the guy gave me the unlock code to unlock it but when I add it, it says code successful but the phone doesn't unlock I then tried the unlock methods on this website and it still won't work. Whenever the box appears to put in the code I can put in any random numbers and it will still say unlock code was successful. The rom is cynagogen mod 10 jb 4.1.2 but not sure if this can cause any problem?

If you did the method on here you shouldn't have to enter an unlock code. Make sure you did the method right. I've done the method on here to 2 sensations and it worked perfectly

Thought i was good at this rooting lark but Htc phones are much more complex.
my phone is S-OFF btw mate.
Starting to think h-boot 127.0.0 is the reason why i'm having a problem if this is the case i'll have to return the phone and make sure i stay well away from HTC.
