Use a memory card reader to put stock rom on sdcard and whatever else u need to revert. Flash that and you're done i guess..

Those Posts both don't really help me, as i cant use fastboot with a broken USB port
E1:My idea was to create a flashable zip which would just copy the contents of the original hboot thing and replace whats on the phone. any advice on which partition i had to use as of?
E2:Okay, so i got what i need for the cwm-flashable zip with another hboot image, but from what i also got now just changin the hboot doesnt lock the bootloader, so how would i do this without using fastboot or adb or an official ruu? reminder: revolutionary s-off

I'm so sorry. Had completely forgotten about the USB problem! But your only way out is an RUU man... and that can't be used without a working USB, i'm afraid. My understanding kinda hits a brick wall here. I hope somebody more knowledgeable can help you out on this one. Have you tried contacting amidabuddha on PM?
He seems to be very knowledgeable about this stuff.
Best of luck... and sorry i couldn't be of more help.
Yeah i guessed that would be what the end of the story. ;/
ima try some other stuff, contact amidabuddha and if i find a way ill share for sure
either find some one else with same phone or take your phone to a phone shop and get them to charge the battery in another device
You shouldn't risk a flash with minimal battery as this could kill device

Thanks for the trust, but unfortunately I am not aware of a method that can change the bootloader without USB connection. That's why I always recommend hboot change after Revolutionary S-OFF just in case something goes wrong...
But if you can find a flashable zip with Engineering bootloader and it works just put rom. zip renamed as PG88IMG on the SDcard afterwards , reboot to bootloader and you are done

The engineering bootloader is that eng hboot?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113820
Found this one, but flashing the pg88img.zip doesnt work because bootloader is skipped
do you think, getting a stock hboot image and flashing it per dd would work?
or flashing this one up there per dd?
so it would be like flashing stock (eng) hboot and afterwards using an ruu rom.zip to restore original rom?
Yes of course I am losing my touch recently
dd should work perfectly, just install terminal emulator on your phone and do the commands from it. Be very careful not to make a typing mistake.
0)The hboot from the thread you linked is the one that you need
1) Extract the hboot_blablabla.img from the PG88IMG.zip and rename it to hboot.img
2) copy it to SDcard via cardreader and PC
3) open Terminal emulator
4) type
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
if no errors reboot to bootloader and check the hboot version it must be 0.98.2000
Then run the RUU on your PC and do not close the first screen, search on the C:/ drive of your PC for rom.zip. Copy it to another location and close RUU. Rename it to PG88IMG.zip
Transfer it to your SDcard, reboot the phone to bootloader and follow the instructions. Be sure that you use the right RUU for your brand/region (it has to be the same or higher version as when it was when you S-OFFed by Revolutionary.)
If you make the steps right you should be complete Stock.
Good luck
Edit: ben_pyett's advice above is worth following too
Okay, thanks. I'm trying to get the ruu right now, but the filefactory links from the thread here suck REAL hard b/c i dont get a free slot, and the other mirror i found was a rapidshare mirror which also sucks w/o a premium account. ;( hate that, its much easier with my lg o2x.
E: Finally got a free slot on filefactory, download is finished in ~1hr. :>
Gonna mow some lawns till then. xD

See, I said you'd find a way, didn't I??
My faith in you is well placed my friend...!!
Oh COME ON. Can't install terminal emulator or anything else from the market. but i got the original RUU which i installed before using revolutionary, so ill try and install the pg88img directly now, hoping that it helps. ._.
Bootloader is bypassed...im turning crazy here! gonna try it per adb over network now i gues...
Oh wait... i guess i just broke it by overwriting su stuff... its gettin worse heeeere, gotta find an eng hboot over 6.98.1002 now... any1 knows of something like that?
E: cant even create a flashable zip anymore now... crappedy crapcrap.
E2: Last update: FINALLY FIXXXXXXED! I got it freakin fixed! found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17213055&postcount=49
The PG88IMG.zip overwrites the revolutionary hboot with an eng hboot, and that eng hboot is replaceable by a stock one. I'm SO HAPPY that i finally fixed it after failing so hard. Thanks for all your help, guys. you're awesome.
Glad to hear that you have managed!
I was curious why the first PG88IMG flashing attempt was not successful and compared the two files. It appeared that the one from the "ENG hboot is here" thread has an img.img extention. Probably this difference in the filename causes the preflashing check failure. Will have this in mind in future

I have the same problem on my phone ie usb brick. I used revolutionary to s off and then upgraded to the newest hboot myself without using eng bootloader. But I'm not sure If I can use the method prescribed above on my phone since I'm on hboot 2002.
You guys know of something else i can try ??

Now on topic: you don't need to re flash any bootloader just put the PG88IMG (renamed rom.zip) taken from the latest proper RUU for your brand/region on your SDcard, reboot to bootloader and follow the instructions. Then you should be back to a Stock system

I'm a noob of Android and I begin yesterday to read this forum and find some solution.
I bought this new phone HTC EDIT: "Desire S" from a friend of mine, but the version installed is very strange:
Android 2.3.3
HTC Sense 2.1
Radio 20.26.30.084AU _38.03.00.03_M
Build 1.21 .0.0 CL18158 test-keys
Software 1.21.0.0
I have installed "root check" app and it say that I have the root access and I haven't do nothing.
I would like to install the official rom (I found the verision on this post ) to resolve some bugs that are present in my phone, but I don't know if the device will work well.
I need first to backup all the rom and in case of problem re-install.
I install ROM Manager and try to install ClockworkMod but it give me an error about privileged. The problem could be the S-ON, but I'm not sure.
Now the question:
how to make a S-Off without risk?
If I install a official rom, do the ClockworkMod, root access and S-OFF remain installed?
If I reach my goal, I will created a guide that collect the steps of installing a rom for noob as me
1) desire or desire s?
2) test keys? if u got a s-off bootloader, don't update your rom, WE NEED YOUR BOOTLOADER!
1. It is Desire S.
2. I will not update in this case. How I can be sure that is it S-off? In that case how can I give you my bootloader?
Thanks
Hold [volume-down] and [power] when the phone's turned off.
That last bit's the tricky part - because of a feature called fast boot the DS does not really turn off when you shut it down but just hibernates. So you have to either turn off fast boot (in Settings -> Power) or pull the battery before attempting to enter recovery.
Check the Hboot at the top to see if it's Ship S-ON or S-OFF or ENG
I just made what you say.
SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000)
RADIO-38.03.00.03M
eMMC-boot
Then there is menu with some command.
My phone is S-OFF
Can this be usefully for you?

EXCELLENT we have an ENG S-OFF Desire-S, anyone of the Developers can help us with this if it's useful by any means?!
We need you to dump the Hboot, and upload it here please
1. Download adb zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?5d0v316g9bg97) and extract to c:\
2. Launch Windows console (cmd) and go to the adb folder cd c:\adb
3. "adb devices" <- Is your device detected? If not, install HTC Sync // Of course, before you have to plug your device in.. (sync mode)
4. "adb shell"
5. run "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img"
6. Conect your phone in usb mode and Upload to multiupload or Mediafire

I will do it later because I'm not at home now.
This procedure will save personal data, in the sense that is better first to restore default settings of the phone?
What does it means ENG?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
it won't save any data from you, only your bootloader, not your rom
eng = engineering
it's a bootloader, s-off and with more functions (like fastboot to flash new radios)
If we can just get RUU for SAGA same as Asd0rs version 1.21.0.0 won't we be able to flash it to our S-ON devices & get S-OFF
OMFG !!!!!!!!!! Finally an ENG S-OFF !!!!!!!!!! This is the same case with the sensation. Hopefully, they'll find a way to push this into our S-On phones. Also, can you please take a pic of your bootloader screen and post it here? Proof's always good. Also, plzz don't do something like the guy with ENG S-OFF Sensation did. DO NOT FLASH ANY ROM, OR YOU MIGHT LOSE YOUR ENG S-OFF, and we'll be screwed. Thanks !!!
EDIT: It seems like HTC is dropping these on purpose
PS - I thanked

I have my Sensation SHIP S-OFF and I have the new Sensation XE 3.6.2 ROM running on it, I need to flash a radio that requires ENG S-off but I haven't found any guides to do that yet. I have found plenty for other HTC phones however I dont want to just try that being as ENG S-off is a sensitive process. Any help would be greatly appreciated
You can flash the radio using adb or via bootloader. Just search for it, you should find many explanations.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
The instructions I have are as follows, do I need so get radio and eng s off? Sorry, I just want to be sure.
How to flash a radio
This guide is for Windows users only! Your phone must be ENG S-OFF. Radio S-OFF is also highly recommended.
Requirements:
- HTC Sync
- A Windows PC
1. Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled
2. Click "Start here". A black command prompt window will open
3. Type: "adb reboot bootloader"
4. Once your phone is in bootloader (white screen with text), type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
5. When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"
6. Done. Enjoy!
Guys, just because he has s-off, doesn't mean all the fastboot commands work.
Op: you need to find where to dl the eng-hboot, and package it into a PG58***.zip (I can't remember the actual file name), put it on the sdcard, and boot into bootloader mode.
Some Google searching will get you what you need though. Or you could use revolutionary to put a patched hboot with working fastboot (same end result).

If you check out this thread

Thanks guys! I have one last question. I have noticed that there is 3 separate ways to flash a radio, 1 of which including the PG58IMG.ZIP on command prompt, 1 telling me just go to command prompt and type in manually to push the radio file itself, and 1 telling me to run it from bootloader but NOT ClockworkMod Recovery. Can anyone clear this up for me?
try not to use the zip file method instead use fastboot commands
ZIP method is the easiest and less risky, takes 2 seconds

If I package it into a .zip file, what all would I package in there? Just the radio.IMG? and wouldn't that also change the checksum?
The file I have is in a .rar inside is a bunch of instructions and data along with he radio.IMG file.
I got ENG-S off now. Thanks!
Edit- Eddy I actually am trying to flash the radio you are currently using. I double checked the exact number to verify, could you tell me what you did to flash it?
Get the radio you want from the Radio thread, already in the correct format to flash via HBOOT
Done and done! Thanks so much everyone!

The problem with the revolutionary hboot is that it's a little bit tricky to overwrite it, cause of this only the adb method with dd command works, take a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285312
there is this solution described and also other possibilities of this fails, after you got that just run a ruu and your device should be stock within s-on.

is it not possible to use this method? haha sounds so much easier...
1.Take the ENG HBOOT found here and put the PG88IMG.zip in the root of your SD card
2.Boot into the bootloader (Volume Down + POWER)
3.Go into FASTBOOT mode
4.The bootloader will automagically detect your new HBOOT and install it
5.After rebooting your phone you can install any RUU you want. That will bring HBOOT back to the installed original
Unfortunatly with revolutionary bootloader not.
oh damn lool..
time to take the risky path
thanks anyway will let you know how it goes...

I used HTC One X toolkit, but it wouldn't S-Off as I had hboot 1.29.0000, therefore couldn't use revolutionary method. In this instance you can s-off using a paperclip, some insulating tape, and running the ControlBear software. To find out how to do this, type the following into YouTube:
JuopunutBear S-Off HTC Sensation.
... That will show you how to achieve S-Off which will unprotected the nand storage to write enabled so you can flash a new ROM.

because you are S-ON when flashing a rom it doesn't write the boot partition by itself
the only thing you have to do is enable smartflash from 4ext recovery and after flash the rom
or
you can follow extra 1 step in the link i provided you in my first post

I've tried Revolutionary.io's guide to convert to S-OFF but I just get 'Waiting for Device'. Tried uninstalling HTC drivers then installing again without luck, disabling firewall and AV, still no luck. Kinda given up on that front.
Trying 'fastboot devices', device is recognised, but if I try to flash a recovery ROM from fastboot I get an 'out of memory' error.
I don't know if USB debugging is enabled or not (how can I tell & enable from HBOOT if not)?
I thought about going via HTCDEV and their method, but my HBOOT is at the wrong version (can I upgrade it to V 2.000.2?)
I'm really running out of options now....anything else I can try??? HELPPPP!
Run htc ruu exe file and don't close the windows, find rom.zip in windows temp folder, rename it to PG88IMG.zip ale copy to sdcard. Turn on your phone in hboot mode, rom will be flashed automaticaly.
Or just go to fastboot mode in hboot and then run RUU, should work if you have bootloader locker (relocked).

Thanks. Noobish of me, but where do I download the relevant RUU file from? I don't know what carrier the phone is locked to by the way.

I couldn't open that, but thanks.
sorry, but I'm really not getting this. I'm looking for a RUU to flash a recovery ROM. When I went to HTC dev, there were all the ROMs for all the different carriers. I don't know what mine is. I tried downloading one for Vodafone, unzipped and searched for RUU.exe but there isn't one.
I need to get to this RUU.exe but dont know how.:crying:
what is a recovery ROM? anyway, people over here at the DS forum has already extracted the radio, Hboot and ROM of official ICS. search around...

I had a bit of progress. I downloaded the latest 4.0 RUU util from HTC Dev, ran it, extracted the ROM.zip and renamed it to PG88IMG.zip, copied it up to the SD card, rebooted the phone into FASTBOOT and the phone recognised it and started installing.
Wahey, I thought, that's it I've cracked it, but then it gets stuck on Updating the bootloader. Stuck for nearly an hour. Tried twice and different SD cards...same thing.
Is this because I'm still S-ON and bootloader is locked, or do you think my internal memory is fried?

You're right, that's the case. Search and you'll see similar cases.

Absolutely irrelevant. He's not flashing anything himself, he's executing RUU which can flash everything.
OK, so how do I enable USB debugging if I can only get into HBOOT? Is there a FASTboot or ADB command that can do it? I think that's what's stopping Revolutionary.

if you read again, he said he was flashing the rom zip after extracting the rom from the RUU

And the difference is?

FYI - I tried executing the RUU itself, and that just hangs too.
I'm going down the line of toasted internal memory and am now throwing in the towel. Besides I just can't spend any more time on it.
Thanks for all your help.

And what means to flash a RUU? Do you see any RUU running on your phone?
Trying to help people is a good thing but not before trying the stuff yourself, knowing the differences, how it works and WHY it should be done

Same problem with this post!
When i followed your step, this has many time to wait. I'm waiting 45 minute but this just show:
Can you help me?
Do you have recovery?Can you get in? If you can fastboot then flash recovery and try to get in.Once in try to open info or just try to wipe all (no SD card) then you will see bricked or not.
