Hi,
i have the Desire S and a while ago (where HBOOT > 2.00.00 could not be turned S-OFF) i downgraded to 0.98 and S-Offed using revolutionary. I wanted to flash a Sense 3 ROM now and there is always said, it wont work with HBOOT 0.98. Is that true? How can i upgrade the HBOOT and keeping the device S-OFFed?
Thanks for your answers!

use a eng-hboot
See index thread for details
Which hboot is best for sense 4 roms? and is it recommended to upgrade radio too than?
The hboot for sense 4.0 roms is 2.00....
If you see the hboot thread you will see modified 2.000... and also the process to upgrade boot loader.
I had S-off and I was on 0.98 and now upgrade to 2.00 and still s-off

Ok, one more quick question...
In one of the rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677252 )
the developer gave thes einstructions on how to get hboot on your phone:
Reboot to recovery and
Open Cmd (command prompt) and run following commands (press enter after each command)
adb devices
adb shell
su
Make sure that you device appear in the list. (eg. HT********)
After running these commands you will see
~#
start flashing my rom with recovery then
type this
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Reboot to your bootloader and check your hboot version it must be something like this
*** LOCKED ***
SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.00.2002 (PG8810000)
.....e.t.c.....
How does this work with cmd? I think recovery on phone doesnt have cmd to write this commands in, so i assume you have to connect phone with usb and than do this, i really don't see any other way to do this the way he say?
I think you must use this with fastboot commands while in bootloader mode

Fastboot commands are issued via the command prompt, on your 'puter.
So... First of all you have to install "ADB" (Android Debug Bridge) on your computer.
Here's a good windows guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595
In short, you have to download adb and place it on your harddrive, and then edit the path to match.
After this is done you can write all sorts of commands...
For example:
adb /help gives you a list of all the available commands.
adb reboot recovery restarts your phone in recovery mode
adb reboot bootloader restarts your phone in bootloader (to see hboot version)
One thing tho - don't forget to mount your sdcard when booted into recovery.
You'll find a menu choice to do this somewhere.
Hope this helps!

As the first command says "adb devices" it should be done with adb, phone booted or in recovery mode. Not with fastboot.

Please see my thread for all noob answers.
It has to be in "usb-fastboot" OR "fastboot usb". Again, please read the thread for further clarification

Yes, I was and I noticed that there was no unified solution in a single thread.
So, I made one so that others who are confused and flash their phones in a hurry don't brick theirs which to me would've hurt..as a developer myself (though am new to Android world)
I agree, the hboot threads can be somewhat confusing for a beginner.
i'm currently on 1.73, SuperCID, bootloader unlocked, rooted.
I'm trying to upgrade to 1.85 and am confused as to what I should do once I extracted the rom.zip from the RUU 1.85 (stock) in order to flash it ?
Can someone please confirm if I can do the following (Mac OSX):
1-relock my bootloader:
fastboot oem lock
2-erase cache
fastboot erase cache
3-reboot in RUU
fastboot oem rebootRUU
4-flash rom.zip
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
Am I missing anything ?
Anyone ?

the fact that there aren't ANY official tools for Mac users to do this stuff bugs the crap out of me. At least Samsung people have heimdall which is a essentially a java version of the windows Odin program used to flash their firmwares.

what do i need to run the ruu, do i need to dl the HTC sdk or HTC Sync with drivers is enough ?
Why not extract the .img files and flash them separately?
Fastboot flash system system.img etc.
You could try fastboot update as well but I don't think it will work.

whoaa...so hard to keep up. LOL
What radio are you on ? I'm still on 1.73 w/CleanRom 2.5 and my radio randomly goes in and out. Was thinking of running ruu just to get better radio.
Can't decide whether I should go to 1.82 or 1.85. Any thoughts ?
EDIT: any other improvements on these ruu that you can see besides better radio ?
This phone might be sold, or given to someone who needs it completely stock, so my question is, how do i flash the stock recover/rom/kernel/etc, and relock the bootloader? Nothing has popped up under similar threads, and searches of the development section turned up nothing.
Gimme a hand
Relock bootloader with fastboot oem lock
Then run the ruu. Run 1.85 if you're on at&t
Keep in mind, it cannot be made completely stock. It will say RELOCKED on the bootloader screen, instead of LOCKED.

Since my specialty has been Winmo, Samsung, and ASUS devices, I'm not too familiar with those. Is there a tutorial or thread available for this? Or for more info? I assume the RUU is installed from the stock recovery, right? Returning to stock on the devices I used, usually involved flashing the stock recovery, then wiping/doing a factory reset from the stock recovery.
Mad props for the concise instructions.
1) connect your phone to PC
2) Ensure your pc has android sdk and usb debugging is enabled on your device
3) open command prompt -- Navigate to folder having android-sdk/platform-tools
4) run command "fastboot oem lock" - This should lock your bootloader
5) Place 1.85 RUU on root directory of your storage ( rename it as PH98IMG.ZIP )
6) Reboot to bootloader and it should read the RUU file.

Awesome, it's just an ADB command. Can I use the 1.85 update? I think I've been updated since I first wrote this via the cleaning aroma installer. Do I need to use that RUu, the one I used when I unlocked it? Or can I use whatever is the latest.

So do i place the 1.85 ruu (exe file?) on the device (named ph98img.zip), reboot into the bootloader, and it will do the rest automatically? Or do i have to choose an option in the bootloader?

I rebooted into the bootloader, and it's displaying "tampered, relocked"
So it seems, i've relocked the bootloader, i copied the 2.20 ruu over, and renamed it what i was supposed to, but the phone doesn't boot now. I've tried going to "recovery" from the bootloader menu, and i've tried "factory reset". Nothing's happening though.
How to hide or delete the red text on the second boot screen after unlock bootloader ?
One x has no ext. SD so that method isn't going to work without a powered y cable with card reader.....our Evita one x I'd not a ph9800 so its double not gonna work.......no Tom is going to give u official firmware update so Check hboot.....if ver. Is 1.14 use ruu 2.20....if ver 1.09 use ruu 1.85

mine is doing the same thing
the renaming of the ruu is incorrect, you can rename the rom.zip inside maybe and have it work that way.
best to just boot into bootloader and run "fastboot oem lock" then run the ruu and follow the steps.

This is an old thread from 3 months ago, the the original OP was confusing a lot of the terms and steps, so I would caution against doing anything he did, or chiming in on the thread and saying "my phone is doing the same". I'd suggest sticking to the other thread you started, and not confusing things more by posting here, too.

Edit- sunshine can temp root and s-off all versions now so this method is no longer needed
If you are currently on OS 4.17.605.9 you can downgrade to 4.17.605.5 while s-on by using a signed RUU.
Why might one need this? Perhaps a sunshine app update will support it? Dunno
This will NOT wipe your phone.
Option 1
For Lollipop
Download DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_ON_5.0.1_RUU.exe and doubleclick. Allow file to extract and install dependencies and then follow on screen prompts.
Option 2
Copy 0P6BIMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32. No exfat! No internal storage! Must be external SD formated to fat32!
Reboot phone to bootloader and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 3
- (use this fastboot https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001612150 )
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUUish file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
example
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!

Quick question from a noob:
You say in the post that this will NOT delete data from the device. But the RUU tool ReadMe has a giant, bold red warning that says "Installing the ROM Update Utility (RUU) will delete ALL information and data on your Android phone."
So... which is it? Will the tool wipe the device or not?

Hello, after exhaustive novice efforts and following the link rabbit hole, I'm here. I have a Verizon HTC One M7 on lollipop 5.0.2. I'm bootloader locked, s-on and of course not rooted. I tried this thread to no success http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...root-root-method-bl-unlock-5-0-x-ota-t3122099. That thread deals with kingroot and Sunshine. It looks like I need to get to temproot for Sunshine to work.
This thread looks like it's using downgrading to get to a point where one can attain temproot which will enable Sunshine to run? - that is if I'm understanding correctly.
Will this work for an M7? It looks like it's for an M8.
Is there any other hope for a locked, s-on, unrooted M7 at this point? THANK YOU for what you do.

Boot phone into fastboot mode and restart the EXE.
Used Fastboot Method
I tried the exe method and it kept getting stuck. I switched over to the Fastboot method and the flash of the ZIP file failed. Tried this twice and it failed both times. I'm S-On with a Verizon M8 (5.0.1). I'm trying to downgrade to root and while I've seen several sites say it couldn't be done, your post gave me a small bit of hope.
Let me know if you have any ideas. Gracias.

I have 3 HTC Sensations, 2 of them unlocked with HTC Dev without any problem.
The third one is repaired (also did talk with the HTC support) and fails to unlock (did trie it 3 times).
Is there anything I could try to unlock this phone?
Thanks, Hedwig5

if you changed the motherboard then htcdev won't work
try the S-OFF method

I read both manuals, the first one sound suspect to me because of the wire, so I tried the second one.
The command "sudo ./soju" didn't work. I used openSuSE 13.1 (64bit, don't have 32bit hardware any more), installed and as live CD, but it tolds me either "soju command not found" or "permission denied".
What can I do?

it is not suspect
it was the first S-OFF guide ever for sensation and almost all of the users used juopunutbear for S-OFFing their device
the only thing you have to do is to read the prerequisites and perform correctly the timing
what os do you have on your pc?

unfortunately i can't help you with linux
The second link worked, I reached S-Off and Unlocked with rumrunner, but the SD-Card fails to be read in the original HTC Sensation or another one. Can be formatted to FAT32 with PC, but will not be read with phone!
I am confused, what can I do?

4ext recovery was not able to recognize SD-card. I did use another card to install. Some SD-Card format apps didn't do the trick. But after using them I restarted the phone and it asked to format the damaged card. So all went well!
Thanks for your help!
