How did he manage to flash a rom s-on? Surely you need a custom recovery for that?

HTC Dev unlock will let you install a custom recovery while S-ON, then bob's your uncle.
thank you for the help getting the O2 RUU bit of a stupid question its a exe thats downloading do i copy over the files to a SD card
Nope, it's a .exe, you run it.

Well Bob's your uncle lol. You can flash a custom recovery image when you are HTC Dev unlocked. HTC Dev unlocks your system partition, boot partition, and recovery partition.
i tryed to flash the ruu last night but it get to the point where it need to reboot in to boot loader but does not do anything
anyone got any idears

It's a shame people like you have to be on boards like this where we're working with technically complicated processes and data, and you post a ridiculously vague question with absolutely no information. His response was appropriate, and equated to a simple "uh huh.....that's great".
Until you post more information for people other than "I tried flashing it and it failed at 10%", nobody is going to care. The people I see on XDA.....man....
Noone has a clue what you flashed, what processes you used, what files you used, what steps you followed (and didnt follow), etc, what commands you entered, how you flashed items, etc.
Make sure that you're flashing the latest version of your phone's ruu, make sure the phone is locked and in fastboot before you flash.

Unfortunately it was a private test by IEF n me, so its still not available to the public yet, but I think that will change pretty soon.
But at least you know now that it will be supported soon.
Looked promising
Just rooted and flashed cwm, installed busy box, just backing up current ROM then going to flash a few different ROMs
Great to know that it works on the DS!

Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
That's great news! Can't wait to S-OFF my device...
I got goosebumps when I saw the image... Excited much!
Fine!
But will it be reversible? (to restore the warranty when required)
PS: from the FAQ at http://alpharev.nl/ :
"Will my phone stay S-OFF forever? --
Yes and no. As soon as you decide to flash a stock RUU that has a HBOOT update in it, this hacked HBOOT will be overwritten.
You do have the option to remove the HBOOT update from the rom.zip inside the RUU. Since your phone no longer checks signatures, you could easily do that.
Also, you then still have the option to flash custom recovery, or different kernels using the fastboot functions described above (fastboot flash, et al)."
good work guys
Nice one.. Gud to hear that DS can be S-off.

HBOOT is downgrade protected. You will be required to flash a 'downgrader hboot'
(to be released at a later time), and RUU, which will make it stock S-ON.

Wait, does this mean we could s-off our device without using the xtc-clip? & When will it be released? Another stupid question please, is it a software or hardware like the xtc? Sorry for that I'm still a noob although I'm great in computing.

u r great！
Have to sell phone due to some unfortunate financial circumstances, but was wondering what I need to do exactly to restore it back to stock.
Atm, it's rooted/S-Off and flashed with the InsertCoin 2.2.1 Rom and i'm in the process of restoring the nandroid backup (stock). I also wiped data/factory reset the phone as well as formatted /system from CWM.
Is there anything else i should do? Should i format the SDCard? Return to S-ON ? remove root? (not sure how to remove root only and keep S-Off)
Thanks for any help.
I think running the RUU would be the best thing to do

After installing the RUU for T-Mobile, should i also remove root/return to S-ON? Don't want the customer coming to me about warranty claims.

Some people said that RUU gives you back S-ON, and some said it doesn't. You have to try it. Otherwise I don't know of any other way to get S-ON. Maybe someone else can help.

is there a way to change the boot logo (a stupid motorola icon) on the A2? I have seen the option in rom toolbox, but not for our device.
not impossible, but very hard
I have HTC Desire, and i wanted to drop the white HTC logo in favour of a black background variant.
long story short it was really REALLY hard, it requires FULL root. (ROOT AND S-OFF)
I wouldn't recommend trying it unless your very happy to delve into the darker parts of android customisation.

It is fully possible to do it without unlocking the bootloader. I have messed around with it and managed to turn the stock logo into a .bmp image but not vice versa. However that was all based off of information for the Atrix 4G and Photon because I was being stupid and didn't think about googling "droid bionic/droid 3/droid razr/droid 4 boot logo change."
So here it is for the Bionic. I haven't tried it but I bet it will work (for making the logo.bin, then flash it using FASTBOOT).
Got it
Awesome thanks so much I figured it out. if anyone wants it here is what I came up with!

that is how it will look on the screen. the attached bin file will look different on the computer. Anyone doing this should follow the instructions in the last post for creating it, as I did. than boot into fastboot and
Code:
fastboot flash logo.bin logo.bin
works perfectly. bin file to flash if you want mine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yye2cnbezuwwxcu/logo.bin

I would go to Xda Home Page and click on "wiki". From there, select HTC Glacier, & then follow the downgrade guide. After successfully downgrading to Froyo, then (still in the wiki section), find the Ultimate S-off guide and follow it. You will use visionary to temp root, and gfree to get s-off, then visionary to perma root...at least that's what I did. It sounds complicated, but once you get all your files in place and installed on you pc & phone, it takes 10 minutes tops..
** First,I am all for rooting, and I am entirely comfortable doing it. However, if I were you, I would read some of peoples posts that have had issues, to make yourself familiar with the process, so that you might learn from what they did wrong. Just search the forums for downgrading..and rooting. Spend a couple hours reading, it is something I failed to do, and nearly messed up! It's only a suggestion, but it helps if you sorta understand what you are doing. I don't want you to brick your phone & think I talked you into jumping in too fast! Just realize that while I wouldn't hesitate to root a brand new one if I had it, THERE IS A CHANCE OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE! **
Good Luck..
