[Q] S-OFF and HTCDev.com Unlock

If I have stupidly done the official htcdev.com unlock and I want to S-OFF can I still use the revolutionary S-OFF method. Will doing both the official unlock and the revolutionary method cause any issues? Has anyone tried this?

S-off
I think htc's site just makes your device s-off, but use the revolutionary method because in cases of warranty, htc's site might take a number down from your phone so if you happen to send it back they'll look up that number and you have to pay for the phone again if they found out that you s-off it. plus the revolutionary way is very easy

I have already done the htcdev unlock. My device is unlocked but S-ON. My question is if I do the revolutionary unlock on top of the htcdev unlock will it damage my phone?

The only issue it gave me was wipe all my downloaded apps, contacts, and homescreen layout (everything else was in tact).
I also have some issues getting into the bootloader (sometimes it works, sometimes it dosen't).
I've unlocked the bootloader through HTC Dev, and still have S-On.

I used rev to s-off and tried a few custom roms then flashed the 1.45 euro ruu and then used the htcdev to unlock bootloader againg just to see if it would work as I have a T-Mobile UK branded handset. HTC has 2 levels of unlock you have bootloader unlock and s-off you don't need s-off to flash custom fw just first stage unlock which leaves s-on but you will have a pink bar with unlocked in it at the top of your bootloader. Unlock still has a limited warrenty but s-off voids all warenties

[Q] Bootloader Locked

Guys, I bought HTC Sensation this week..
I found that my bootloader is locked..
My phone is complete stock.
HBOOT 1.18.000

That's normal, it's how HTC ships them
Just use Revolutionary to get S-OFF (see guide in Dev forum)

[Q] S-Off from bootloader?

So I was going to buy a new phone, and trade in my sensation for it, so I reverted to stock. Except I installed the wrong RUU for my region and only noticed after re-enabling s-on, and then I was really stupid and tried to flash the right rom.zip while it was s-on and now my phone only boots into the bootloader... how can I S-off and reinstall the right RUU from only the bootloader? Revolutionary is constantly waiting for my device and htc's token id unlocker isn't recognising it either, and when it does it always comes up with an error

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
do you have htc drivers installed?
if now you have 1.17-1.18 hboot version then revolutionary.io method is the only way to S-OFF
for flashing ruu from bootloader see here

[q] htc desire s official ruu problem

DEAR ALL
i have qustion plz reply me or give me a solution i unlocked my htc desire s and i installed jellybean 4.1.2 pac version 19.3.0 it is going smooth but now i want install the OFFICIAL RUU from htc site . i try to install but i showing error i canot install it why any body have solution if anybody friends please sent me my mail [email protected] thank you

You need to have a locked bootloader to use a RUU, you'll have to re-lock it. The stock ICS rom is not bug-free, so you might want to flash an older RUU.
If you didn't unlock your phone through htcdev, don't flash the stock ICS RUU as afterwards the only options for modifying your phone are via htcdev unlock (you can't temproot).

If it got stuck on HTC Logo bootscreen after you tried to flash the official RUU and you can get into bootloader i suggest you try this thread
