[Q] Desire S rooted needs unrooting

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, basically I bought my desire s a few weeks ago and managed to root it, then added a Rom. However I believe I need to put back a stock Rom as it needs returning owing to a faulty speaker where I can't hear it ring, the output is getting worse each day. So basically I need to know which Rom and how to do it. I have tried searching but come to a dead end, lots of help for the desire but not my desire s. Many thanks in advance.

I'm sure I saw a thread knocking about in this forum where someone described the process of returning the phone completely back to s-on stock state, but I can't seem to find it myself now either.
Iirc though, restoring back to a stock rom and kernel may be enough to override the hboot and make it s-on and without root. There's something somewhere about flashing a stock hboot I'm sure.
Sorry I can't be more help than that.

This will over ride your alpharev hboot with an Eng S off hboot flash it via bootloader or Android flasher 1.8
Once you have done this you can flash an official ruu which remove your s-off and root status

When I try this method, bootloader says bypassed?
Any ideas.
chill...............

Ok this is how I did it I download this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15493125&postcount=1
On my lap top I extracted the zip file
Then put your phone in fastboot making sure it says fastboot usb then run Android flasher 1.8 chose hboot and browse for the .img file you extracted from the zip file earlier if all goes well you will be eng s- off then you can reflash an ruu

[Q] TMO US Sensation, HBOOT 1.20.0000, S-OFF, LOCKED bootloader

I ran the revolutionary utility to get S-OFF. According to my hboot screen, I now have S-OFF. Step 2 is to install recovery which is where I am stuck. When I plug my phone into my PC (phone in HTC Sync mode; not the hboot screen), I get "pyramid, with hboot 1.20 is not supported". Looking at my hboot screen, I see...
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.20.0000
RADIO-10.11.9007.15_M
eMMC-boot
Dec 15 2011, 21:14:10
At this stage, should I just follow the HTCDev process to unlock the bootloader? Not sure where to proceed.
Any attempts to flash a recovery using PG58IMG on the SD Card immediately generates "incorrect model id" error. After reviewing this post, I tried the Android Flasher utility, but it gives a no permission error.

you should be able to go back down to 1.17 eng boot with IMG.zip file, you are still s-off so should pass through

I tried the ENG hboot posted on this thread. I loaded the zip file onto the root of my SD card. Boot phone into hboot. Device starts to read the file and then reports: "model ID incorrect!".
Here is a pic of my hboot screen: h t t p : / / img542.imageshack.us/img542/4936/imag0197n.jpg
Since my hboot currently reads LOCKED, do you think i should unlock it from HTCDev? Then, in theory, i should be able to flash different hboot/recovery.

Fixed!! I installed the latest RUU for my carrier from this thread. The RUU restored my device, radio, hboot [1.17.0008], & recovery back to it's original state [S-On]. Device is now back to the way it was when i opened the box.
After that, I was able to re-run Revolutionary and this time it worked. I now have S-OFF, correct hboot, and rooted stock ROM.

wow my device become like your S-OFF, LOCKED bootloader..
will do your method this evening

hi, im really new to this, I'm getting the sensation t-mobile version, would getting my phone on s-off be gsm unlocking my phone?

no this does not carrier unlock the phone, it unlocks security to the phone for deving purposes/or installing custom recoverys,and Rom builds,
there is way to carrier unlock there is guide on how to do that but you do need to be rooted

HBOOT modelId incorrect, the phone restarting with white screen
HI,
I did S-OFF using the revolutionary.io and when it asked for upgrade given Y, but it failed. But the S-OFF is done on my HTC sensation 4G. but when i copied the PM58IMG.zip and su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed on my SD card root. and starting in HBOOt first its asked for upgrade and pressed yes then it shown the below error
modelID incorrect.
from now on my HTC is not starting just the white screen with HTC then to HTC quitely brillient then repeating same. please help me how to solve this.
the HBOOT is now 1.27 before S-OFF its 1.18
thanking you inadvance

n00b question guys.
i just got a used Sensation. mine says ****LOCKED****
but next line says S-OFF.
does it mean my bootloader is unlocked?
i'm confused because i went to htc dev and got the unlock.bin file for my sensation. the problem is when i get to the final yes/no screen, i can only choose NO option. no matter how many times i press power button on yes, it won't work. only when i choose "no",it will reboot.

Not sure i understand your post 100%, but as i understand it, you can install a standard RUU from here with a older HBoot
I did that and it solved my problem.

standart ruu installed
error mesage : you want to install version, that version does not match the moment.
loaded : 1.45.468.2 standart turkey ruu ( current)
phone version : 1.45.468.1 standart turkey ruu

I wanted to return to the original state.
ics for the original HTC update.
hboot 1.20.0000. this cause will not come with the update. I want to fix.
There was no warning about hboot s-on process. writes may be brick. but hboot "1.18.xxxx 1.17.xxxx or" no warning. "hboot 1.20.0000" problem does not write.
send to the service, but out of the warranty agreement. service asks a lot of money.

Hi,
Try THIS THREAD
Or PM trkaaa.I'm sure he will help.

how do i get my pyramid back to normal?

i've been trying for about 7 hours now (no joke) to get my phone fixed
i'm pretty familiar with rooting/hacking/ROMS on my droidx and if anything went wrong i just plugged in the phone and SBF back to stock - simple. i assumed i could do that for the sensation but that is obviously not the case.
my first time with the sensation i got the bootloader unlocked/cwm installed/installed CM9 and got stuck on the CM9 loading screen. i think i never got the s-off to work, but didn't realize it.
last 7 hours have been spent trying all kinds of things to get it back to normal but nothing seems to work.
i am now stuck on the green htc logo at boot every time
i can currently access cwm 5.8.0.9 / fastboot
fastboot shows:
***unlocked***
pyramid pvt ship s-on rl
hboot - 1.27.0000
radio - 11.23.2504.07_m2
openadsp-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
emmc-boot
jan 13 2012,17:33:34
i know how to use adb/access the fastboot from a command line
i have htc sync and htc drivers
i have one x all in one kit
i've tried a couple of RUU but they didn't recognize my device
finally got an RUU (RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.50.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223976_signed) to work but i got an error telling me the device could not be recovered
i just want to get the phone back to stock so i can start over and try again!
any help/leads would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not 100% on this, so get another opinion, but since you have the bootloader still, try to attain S-Off using the wire method.
Edit: Scratch that, you need a stock rom that's rooted for it. If you can boot CWM, restore the nandroid backup that you hopefully made. If not, make sure you wiped data/cache before installing CM9. If you forgot to, wipe them and reinstall CM9. There's also a guide floating around about installing and booting custom roms with S-ON that could help you out.

Since you have the official ruu Rom. You will double click on the ruu and since HTC Android Phone ROM Update utility pops up, you'll go into c:\Users\yourUser\AppData\Local\Temp and you'll search rom.zip. You will put it on the sd card and rename it to PG58IMG.zip and you will start your phone into bootloader, and when it asks, proceed with the update and you should be fine.

Lol I was about to answer you
You just need to flash the boot.img of the rom separately that will do the job
