i need to know if anyone in the los angeles area that can put the s-on feature on my phone my friend did a root and i unrooted it and put back the stock rom but i dont know how to turn s-on in order to get updates on my phone again please helpppppp
You better tell us how he got s-off. I cant imagine he is actually.

Did you or your friend achieve full S-OFF? If so, how? It's kind of a big deal. I personally don't think you mean Security off to security on on the bootloader; maybe you mean stock recovery?

I think he meant "unlocked" bootloader, not S-OFF.
The only thing he wanted was to reclock it.
Thread should be closed as he did what he whanted to do by himself.
He's clearly stated it though twice that it was s off and now s on u can't get mixed up lol either were getting trolled or he doesn't know the benefits of s off lool

Some phones (very few) are shipped s off. If it is so, then just keep it that way and update through xda. We get all the new stuff anyway

If he really had s-off it wouldn't matter cause he wouldn't need to relock the bootloader he could flash ANYTHING he wanted. oh well thread topic looked cool for a second. Anyways...

Just think it's a noob looking for attention. If he did want S-ON, he would've replied. I think he pretty damn well knows what S-OFF is, just wanted some attention for a few days.
He did replied to the first responce to his question and then the semi flames started for him not knowing any better. Noob for sure. He will know the difference now or and hopefully search before posting next time. Hopefully by then he knows the true status of his phone that's just something we have to deal with during this stage of a new phone. Once development picks up and there are more threads and more people posting useful information for the noobs to learn from it will make things a lot better.

Working on it here. Adding pictures and such, for now a bare walkthrough.
S-OFF back to S-ON is impossible, no way to do it, one way trip.
Once you go from S-ON to S-OFF, you're stuck there. Period. No exceptions.
The closest you can get is to restore the stock image and be with the 1.44.0007 hboot that still says s-off.
I had an g2 and I sent in 2 phones both rooted and s-off with no problems. Has anyone ever heard of them giving flack for rooted devices?

They're instructed not to even "touch" them if they're modified in such way.
I guess it really depends on how nice the person who received it is.

hi there i am i girl who loves gadgets now need some help with the OTA to android 4
i have a sensation which my ex rooted and de branded for me (he was the one who did all these type of things as i'm not geek enough to do myself ) it was orange and now it's stock 1.45.401.2 with a CID of orang001. Before we broke up he said he was going to update my phone to android 4 but never got round to it, now on the HTC facebook page i see some people have got an OTA update but why haven't i?
i live in the UK and thought i'd we would have it by now. when i go into setting and search for update the phone says it's up to date
when i power it down and hold the volume down the screen goes white and says
HBOOT 1.17.1111

The best advice you can get is probably this: wait a little longer for OFFICIAL ICS which will be pushed via the update. Since it will be official, and via the update, it will be delivered ready to go straight from HTC.
Beware: if you start delving into these forums just to get ICS, you are in for a ride of your life. If you are not into this kind of "fun", i would recommend just waiting for official, which is just hours/days away.

Not at all. It's pretty easy:
S-Off/Root
Flash new Firmware
Flash New Rom
Each step has detailed guides and can be accomplished in 20 to 25 minutes each - the firmware only taking 3 minutes. Just make sure you follow directions, carefully. As in, really, very carefully. If you're unsure of something, don't do it.
That's reach, guys......
So many replies and none specific.... Why to bother answering at all???
To get ICS OTA you need to be stock. S-off does not matter, root also.
Has to have a stock recovery and 1.50.401.1 for original or 1.73.401.4 for XE.
Although, if you want to install custom ICS, you have to read Dev section for specific requirements of the ROM of your choice....I read a lot good reviews for almost all of the ICS ROMS.
And here is something to keep in mind:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23427200&postcount=1
Otherwise EddyOS will be really upset...LOL
Have to find a RUU for your particular phone and flush it to bring everything back to original condition (will be un-rooted, but S-off will remain).
Good luck!!!
Keep in mind eddy won't help you if you get stuck he will tell you search or use google lol

Not sure you're doing anything wrong. As far as I can tell, only Vodafone sensations in the UK have had an OTA update. The rest of us who still have stock ROMs are not-so-patiently waiting.

Bottom line, you can't update to ICS unless someone follows some steps on the forum to either A: Return the RUU to stock or B: Flashes an ICS Rom for you.
He sounds like a smart guy, too bad it didn't workout.
You may have someone in a circle of friends that's familiar with rooting etc. Hit them up to do the labor.

I have a question... my phone is stock the RUU as you've called it is from HTC. I downloaded an app "CID Getter" from Play/Market and it tells me my ROM is 1.45.401.2 which if I'm correct is official. My CID is orang001 then as i scroll down it says main CID HTC_001 so why has this not updated to 1.50.401.1 for example?

Yay, So it's true, the one s is better!!
And about the dev.. we have less because everyone thinks that the ONE X is better :\

Has HTC gave S-off to any of their other devices? I really don't think it will happen.
Don't want to jump in too much. But I had to at least say something. I'm curious what you mean when you say s=off will increase development... We will get more accomplished or attract more developers? Either way we said that for... Many, many months with the amaze... When we finally got s =off its been several months since and there has been no increase in development. Only one example but it was enough for me to think that's not the answer that we need
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
HTC definitely won't give S-OFF. We will probably get it eventually, though. Getting it will not directly make more ROMs, but it will certainly make more people root their devices, which probably will lead to more ROMs.

Oh ok thats relocked vs locked. I never had any problems though returning my one s with relocked bootloader but I had to return to T-Mobile and not HTC. Not sure if HTC is strict and checks everything.
I have a one s running viper 1.2 and its amazing on the one s great battery life and performance. This weekend I unlocked and installed the one x viper rom on my big brothers one x and my one s feels way speedier. The one x feels uncomfortable in my hands and looks bulky while the one s is sexy and packed with power. Just wish there was a bit more development for the one s.

Hey bro. Are u sending it to htc for repair? Or verizon? I would assume htc, since it is a "repair". If so, then u really dont need to return it to stock.

You would think incorrectly. HTC reserves to right, and has, voided warranties for flashing custom ROMs.
Its been discussed on the "international" One X forum, that some folks have had warranty claims denied due to having ever flashed a custom ROM, despite returning to stock. Apparently, they still have some way to tell, even if you RUU to stock. Although they will honor the warranty if the bootloader is unlocked, but a custom ROM never installed. Inconsistent and a bit strange.
But HTC warranty service probably varies a bit by region. So its at least worth a try.

Ya bro, ive had all positive experiances with HTC. Im on my third replacement DNA from them. All free replacements. One cracked screen, one bricked, wouldnt take a charge, or boot, and this 3rd, which im waiting on right now as a matter of fact. fed ex should b here any moment. It had a blue blotch, or "smudge, within the screen. But all of them i had absolutely no problems getting them warranted out.
If they get a phone which is s-off, for all they know, they sent out a dev phone on accident. Ive seen it numerous times.

Flashing a custom rom can cause some hardware issues, so I can understand why HTC wouldn't warrant it.
If I was returning to HTC, I would change the CID back and RUU but leave bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, this way, if they decide to update the software to the latest, you can still flash and whatnot.

If you're S-OFF you don't need to relock to run an RUU and since S-OFF doesn't actually give full access on the oneXL without an unlocked bootloader, best to just leave them both.

Hi all,
I've googled and read some threads on how to make my phone back to 'normal' - by which I mean how it was before I decided to start messing with it and put CM10.1 on it but the guides etc are a little too technical for me and I want to make sure I don't make any errors!
Can someone please tell me what I need to do or point me in the right direction so I know how to unroot my phone and have regular stock HTC sensation ROM on it again (whatever version of android it's meant to be on).
I think I made my phone s-off so do I need to reverse this? Also I'm on o2 in the UK if that makes a difference?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

I've googled and read some threads on how to make my phone back to 'normal' - by which I mean how it was before I decided to start messing with it and put CM10.1 on it but the guides etc are a little too technical for me and I want to make sure I don't make any errors!
Can someone please tell me what I need to do or point me in the right direction so I know how to unroot my phone and have regular stock HTC sensation ROM on it again (whatever version of android it's meant to be on).
I think I made my phone s-off so do I need to reverse this? Also I'm on o2 in the UK if that makes a difference?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

hi mate,
look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425
it is optional to reverse from S-OFF to S-ON
but be carefull with that because you may brick your device
but it is not so important to do it
Thanks for that mate.
I'd only really be interested in making my phone S-On again so that I can sell it (like in CEX or somewhere) - will they know if my phone is S-OFF?

If you flashed the stock RUU and just left it at that, I think they would be unlikely to notice, or know. (CEX)
If they did somehow find out, you could always go back a few days later to a different employee, this time with the phone S-On.

Hi,
CEX do a complete check on the phone to see if it works.
Run a RUU,to put it all on stock,but leave the s-off.
I am sure they do not care about that,and you may brick your phone trying to get it back to s-on.
Thanks guys.
Basically I'm just thinking that I'm going to make my phone stock again as I'm starting to get some issues with it now but I think it may be to do with the fact that the phone is getting old too as appose to just bugs in the ROM that I use so for the time being I will stick stock ROM back on and keep using that until I get a new phone.
I will leave it as s-off for now as I'm not taking it to be sold just yet anyway.
Thanks again everyone.

HI malybru
if he wants to keep s-off i think this would have been easier option http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941
I might be wrong
Wating for your opinion

Hi,
I think that is what he said in his last post.
And that link you gave would be perfect for that.
Even if he does sell it,he should keep the s-off.
Chances are,the next owner would appreciate it.
CEX would not be bothered by it.
And it does not affect the phone in any way,unless you return it for warranty.
I think in a month or two my warranty would have ran out anyway as by the end of this summer I would have owned the phone for 2 years.
I suppose that has made the decision for me...
