How can i make my hboot display Locked and not relocked?
You used HTC tool? As far as I know I don't think you can change it but I'm not certain. I hope someone has a fix for you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

SOFF using auggie2k SOFF guide (search in general section for the guide)
that converts your unlocked hboot to either locked or juopunutbear hboot ..with SOFF

I haven't been tracking that thread, but I speculated that it might work based on someone's post in a different section. Has someone actually confirmed that this does work?
Basically, run an RUU to go back to stock, S-ON again, and then follow the juopunutbear method without htcdev to S-OFF again. A side effect may be a "locked" hboot again.

The locked thing is not a side effect basically the soff process wipes the flags of unlock and relock
Even if you got juopunutBear hboot.. Once you flash a RUU you will have locked bootloader only not relocked/unlocked
And it's confirmed long back.. That's how the warranty is saved too.. As the soff process don't leave any visual traces of you doing unlock via htc-dev

READ.........try looking in the INDEX
There is a section that will assist, entitled "UNLOCK your Bootloader by HTCDev (S-ON - Security On) (HBOOT>2.0)" you have two options 1) downgrade you hboot & unlock using revolutionary, which isn't an easy thing to do, but is better and easier in the long run.
Or 2) use htc dev to unlock
all the options and guides are there for you to read.....I suggest that you spend at least one evening reading and comprehending before you progress further.
Go for the first method, downgrade you Hboot and then unlock bootloader and get S-OFF using revolutionary, it is by far the best way in the long run. Just remember, if you've unlocked the bootloader using the HTC-dev you need to lock it again.
I cannot s-off my Sensation XE with revolutionary tool.
It says to fill in a form at their site with device type , hboot version and serial number.
I have hboot version 1.27.0000 and the available versions on the form are only 1.17 and 1.18.
Except this when i run the tool it says that "your device , pyramid with hboot 1.27.0000 is not supported at this time".
i have installed the htc driver.
i powered on my phone without hboot (i removed the battery and then turned on).
i have ICS 4.03 version 3.32.468.112 (i got it OTA two days ago).
How can i s-off and then root my phone?
Please help me because i have not done anything like that before.
You have the wrong hboot version. Using revolutionary won't wont work for a phone with the ICS OTS use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611981
That.
you say that i must change my hboot version for it to work?
how is it wrong?
it is the one that my phone had stock.
and how can i change my hboot version?
will be all ok then or my phone will become unstabel or lose something?
Try the tacoroot method. I had a set of detailed instructions somewhere.

If you want S-off you will have to use the Juopunutbear S-off method linked above. Her is z link to the only detailed guide for the Sensation there is now.
Now by all means please understand you will have to use HTC Dev to unlock your bootloader before you can use this S-off method. When you use HTC Dev to unlock your bootloader it can cause you to void your warranty.

Sorry about that, don't know why it did that. I fixed the link in that post now.
does anyone know if there will be a new tool that supports the latest hboot versions?
if there will be i can wait to do it that way because the others seem a little risky to me.
It's Juopauntbear or nothing at the moment, and it works fine.
You can always just use HTCDev unlock for the time being, that let's you flash recovery to swap ROMs & gain root.

i read at their site but i didnt understand much.
what is the juopauntbear method and what is the HTCDev?
the only thing i saw is that you do something with a wire at the phone and i am confused.
is it the same thing or i must do both to s-off?
i entered rhe HTCDev unlock page and it has some instructions.
if i do this will i be able to s-off or i must then do the juopauntbear tricks?
You must do the juopunutbear method if you want to s-off
But befor that you must use the HTCDev and root
You must understand that yll lose your warranty if you use the HTCDev method.
so the only way now to s-off with hboot 1.27 is juopunutbear right?
What exactly do the HTCDev then? I see that unlocks the bootloader.
I think is in different order than with revolutionary tool (first s-off then root then anything else but with this method you need first Htcdev then root then s-off) or am i wrong?
HTCDev does not unlock the bootloader only parts of it, so thats why you have to first unlock via HTCDev and then root and finaly s-off with Juopunutbear...Thats the only way to fully unlock your bootloader

Understood.
That is the only way until revolutionary release a new tool that supports the new hboot versions i think.
I think i can wait a little more for s-off.
Thank you all for your help and your time.

So I have to do a full reroot, ah not good. That wire trick also looks VERY dodgy.
Is that they only way to get S-OFF

After jb method.. You will either have LOCKED (not RELOCKED) bootloader or juopunutbear bootloader..
If the case is latter.. I.e juopunutbear bootloader.. A simple flash of ruu.. Would take it to complete stock...
To simply put.. You should not I mean you SHOULD not.. Touch the unlock of bootloader and re-lock of bootloader after SOFF

Depends which Juopunutbear method you used. If you never used htcdev to unlock your bootloader, you are fine. Just flash the appropriate RUU and S-ON to go back to stock (YOU MUST GO BACK TO STOCK HBOOT OR YOU WILL BRICK).
The original Juopunutbear method required unlocking the bootloader with htcdev. If you are looking to lock your bootloader, again flash the appropriate RUU so that you can S-ON. Then use the new method that doesn't require using htcdev to unlock your bootloader. The result will be S-OFF and LOCKED bootloader.
This is the only way to return to locked state and not relocked.
Most vital for S-ON is a signed, proper hboot. Otherwise, you will brick and will need to find that thread on how to unbrick.
The new method is the jb one without HTC dev unlock is that right

im getting confused on what you are saying
YES ...the original juopunutbear method requires ..htc-dev unlock ..but after the SOFF process ..you neither have that *UNLOCKED* status nor *RELOCKED* ...
you will have *LOCKED* (which is stock ) or *juopunutbear*
and
even if he did SOFF using the NON HTC-DEV method (guide in my link to do this )..he will have the same ..*LOCKED* or *Juopunutbear*
and as i explained earlier ...if the case is later ..i.e. Juopunutbear ..then he(OP) needs to flash a simple RUU ..that will take his bootloader to *LOCKED* which is stock
thats all to explain ..nothing more to resolve here

without soff ..no not possible
first of all if anyone did a unlocked bootloader again ..after SOFF ..then that means ..the person didn't understand the SOFF process completely and he is stupid to do that (you have a privilege to flash eng-hboots (juopunutbear/revolutionary) which are much much better than the unlocked hboot)
now assuming he did unlock of bootloader after SOFF
then
there are two ways (just now a new way released ..its cosmetic ..but might work)
1.cosemetic way ....look here)
2.hard way ..flash RUU ..do S-ON(careful here ..brick risk) ...and again SOFF (use htc-dev unlocked JB SOFF)

Using htcdev keeps the phone S-ON. You'll still be able to run custom roms, but can't flash a new radio.

I refered to a you tube video " How to S-off htc desire s" the first video that shows up. My phone is already rooted using the hdc dev kit, however when I am trying to do s-off the software gives just a message "Error". It also fails at signature.
do let me know what more information can I provide.
If you have a guide that I can try and share the results with you do send me that as well. I am new to rooting the phone, so sorry for not providing any info that is required.
You either htcdev unlock or you s-off
You'll now need to relock your phone to undo the htcdev and then downgrade you phone in order to properly s-off using revolutionary.
There are various downgrade guides in the index, see link on my signature

No, it's S-ON, but writable on /system partition due to HTCDev unlock. It only means that you don't know the difference between S-OFF, rooting and HTCDev unlock - and misleading others.

Then please tell me why my Bootloader says:
*unlocked*
SAGA PUT SHIP S-OFF RL
S-OFF ... Security off
Rooting ... Grant root for the device, like su on linux
HTCDev unlock ... unlocks the bootloader
But its ok I just tried to help...
Then you can try to avoid confusion providing more detailed info, like:
"I have used XTC Clip to gain S-OFF, then used htcdev.com, without any particular reason, then got rooted by SuperOneClick"
Your previous post can mislead some non advanced users that SOC can provide S-OFF, without using additional tools.

Ok..
I unlocked my HTC Desire S following the instructions on HTCDev.com. Afterwards I rooted the Phone,installed Busybox and installed ClockworkMod Recovery using the SuperOneClick tool for Windows 7.
And now I am able to flash Rom and Radios.
Nope to upgrade your Radio you have to be S-OFF
Maybe it was shipped with S-OFF because I had a brandig first.
I doubt that it was shipped S-OFF and even if, why would you unlock it with HTCdev ?

And you can flash radios only because you had a phone which already was S-OFF, either during manufacturing or by XTC-Clip, and you just didn't understand it and uselessly unlocked it while you could have done whatever you wanted with it. And S-OFF is the only reason you can flash radios, and HTCDev unlock didn't actually add anything and didn't allow you anything - just as it won't allow any non-S-OFF user to flash radios, and won't turn S-ON to S-OFF. But what do I know, I was just passing here.

It is unlikely, but certainly possible. In the early days of Desire S development (back when we had to use the XTC-Clip hardware to obtain S-Off) there were some people who got their devices brand new already S-Off.
ok, back to the topic:
the simpliest way to gain s-off without xtc-clip is to downgrade the bootloader to HBOOT 0.98, and gain S-OFF with Revolutionary. After you did this you can run the latest ruu, which doesn't influence wether your s-off or s-on. Finally, you've got a device with hboot 2.02 and s-off.
After using revolutionary you are already S-OFF!
If you want to upgrade your HBOOT don't run a RUU AFAIK it could brick your device ... use this tutorial

I have to disagree @Jack_R1 the unlock via htcdev wasn't completely useless as it managed to void his HTC warranty! :laugh: logging that fact with HTC in the process!
