Hi all
Anyone know if we need the bootloader unlocked if we already have S-Off? I have flashed a few ROMs already and was wondering if I would need to go unlock my bootloader to gain more customization options. Can we change kernels and overclock with a locked bootloader?

Hi,
You don't need to unlock bootloader via HTCDEV if you already S-OFF.
If you are S Off, just flash firmware from the user friendly firmware thread.
You'll have an ENG Hboot that says Revolutionary instead of Locked.
So, I rooted and gained s-off but haven't unlocked my bootloader through the HTC site. It sounds like I don't need to do this and can do everything I could on my rooted device right?
correct me if im wrong and 10x 4 ur helps

Yes, an ENG Hboot is better than an Unlocked Hboot.
You can do all & more than a Unlocked Hboot can with an ENG Hboot.

If it's official, then your Hboot is locked.

but it should open internal email program for sending mail through it !

This is a known bug in the Ics RUU. The only way round it is unlocking your bootloader on htcdev.com and rooting your phone or installing a custom rom.

Why, why, why are people incapable of searching first? How many times has this question been asked since the RUU was released?

I doubt it very much, the Ics RUU wasn't even released OTA, only as a research and development RUU. So don't expect any support.

Hi,
RUU must match cid and version-main.
Please use this:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Post here the result.
Are you s-off?
Supercid?

in a quick search i have found only gb ruu.exe
but while you are on S-ON you can't downgrade
i think it doesn't exist one for ics
you can do this
s-off the device
supercid
install the gb ruu
then do the official update from phone info

How can i S-Off. i m not on stock Rom.
following is the requirement of Juopunutbear S-OFF method.
2. Be on the Stock RUU. No other ROMs are supported, Fresh ROM will not work regardless of what you have read elsewhere.
thats why i was searching for my stock ics rom. i have tried diffrent RUU but no success..
can i skip this step?

flash it from recovery
i suggest to use 4ext recovery and before flashing the rom enable smartflash from it
use the one in first post
http://bugsylawson.com/files/category/88-pyramid/
You made a little mistake, it is 911 (not 901), because the CID x.xx.911.x - SK Telecom (South Korea)
RUU_Pyramid_SKT_KR_1.46.911.4 is the only one I have found at Persian hTC
Unfortunately BugsyLawson has stopped working, and I do not expect it to come back.

If this is a vzw m8 then you will need to use sunshine to unlock the bootloader (and turn s-off) to root or install custom roms.

You cannot downgrade while s-on. Once s-off you can flash whatever you want as long as it's compatible with your phone.

Hi!
I've got a Xperia Miro (ST23i) which has Android 4.0.4 official firmware, 11.0.A.5.5. I now want to upgrade it to 4.1, mainly because of an app which I use now demands 4.1.
The phone is rooted but bootloader is locked. When checking the bootloader if it can be unlocked it says "No".
So my question is, can I upgrade it? Is there any stable 4.1 that I can install even though bootloader is locked?
To clarify and add to my question a bit:
I know there are roms based on stock kernel which can be installed and I assume those would work on a phone with unocked bootloader. But would it show as a 4.1 phone and the app I mentioned would work or would it be just the same as with the stock 4.0.4?
Thanks

No, unfortunately you can't. You must unlock bootloader for that.

This is the wrong section to ask a question. But simple answer is NO. There's no way to flash a custom rom
without unlocking your bootloader.
