RUU Question

I have a T-MO branded Sensation with S-Off. I'd like to take advantage of the updates that the latest ruu's offer. Can I just go ahead and flash the latest tmous ruu? Will this result in s-off? Thanks.

Since you have a post count of 476 as of me typing this I don't feel bad.
Why the hell would you put something like this, ESPECIALLY WITH THE WORD QUESTION IN THE TITLE, here in the general forum? You've been around. You know better. Also, a simple search would answer your question. Things like this are the reason this forum is clogged. Mods please close.

You have s-off and wondering if applying ruu.. will give you s-off?
ps; that makes no sense

Thanks. Perhaps you can tell me where I can post a question then. I remember a time when you could post a general question in the general forum.

There is a whole other forum titled "Q&A." Questions go there, but always remember to search first. This same question has been answered at least two times that I remember.

Nope, flashing it won't put your phone to s-on. You have to do that manually. There's a how to in the main sticky in the dev forum. Can't link at the moment as I'm mobile.

[Q] How do you install HTC Sense 3.5 into Desire S

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...244739&page=28 i downloaded HTC sense 3.5 from the link above, but how do i get it to be installed on my phone? It's a .zip file so i don't know which app to run in the folder..

After reading your post I dont recommend you do it but if you insist, you must tell us whether you're S-OFF and have root first.
If you're even more confused now, this thread is great

you gotta do much reading around XDA Kizz.
as dan-fish said, you need root and s-off.
this thread taught me so much! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601

Buddy, you're heading to the North Pole with a pair of Jeans and two T-shirts. Don't get me wrong, but i agree with dan-fish's assessment that you should do a lot of reading from the General section before you start contemplating flashing a ROM.
I mean no offence, and i'm not patronizing you, but from your questions above, it looks like you have absolutely no clue about s-off, rooting and eventually installing a custom ROM. I only emphasize this to keep you from accidentally bricking your device.
If you read all the guides in this forum (especially the excellent one by nodeffect), these questions will answer themselves on their own.

[Q]How to S-OFF One S S3

I bought new phone - One S - and is the S3 model.
Before this I had HTC Incredible S where the S-OFF was possible without HTCDEV. I did some searching on XDA and I couldn't find anything on how to S-OFF ONE S S3 without HTCDEV.
Can someone please help me or write a tutorial?
Thank you!
Cheers,
Matjaz

That's because you can't s-off without htc.dev
....or with htc.dev for that matter.

Thank you for fast reply.
Is there a way to get it back to the original state (S-ON) in an undetectable way for HTC if needed for warranty?
Thank you!
Matjaz

Yeah if we had s off we could edit the text to say anything

Ok seriously. Eleventh post in the development section that isn't development in a few days. That's what Q&A is for! And there is no S-OFF...and won't be for awhile.

..and even when you post in the correct section, with a title like this, please prefix with [Q].

I really wish the mods would ban these n00b users. That's the only true way to keep stupid posts from being made in the wrong section.

thanks! will report bugs. rom looks very good :silly::highfive::victory::laugh:

Mods please move this thread to Q&A section. Or close it.

Try reporting the thread and selecting maintenance/post moving as the reason, that might work better.
Mods of xda operate on report-only basis because there is are just too many threads/posts to proactively moderate

Moved To Q&A​
Please post questions in the Q&A section. Also added [Q] to make it clear to all what this thread is about.​

[Q] Getting S-OFF

I know there's a thread for s-off already, but it seems to have stalled? I am looking to start something, and figure it out before I end up contacting HTC myself. First question I have, is there such a thing as a DIAG file for the XL? I see on one x forum that they have been working on a way to use a white card, and this diag file, but they have only one problem, the CID needs to be be a superCID, which most of us with XL already have. I know I do. Please help me help find a way. Thanks.

Glad you wanna join in
I would start tho by reading what info is available, starting a new thread on project development should at least start with something not already being researched in the first thread. Not being rude, but read thru the existing thread, get as many questions as you can answered, and then figure out what questions need to be answered. It really is a practice that makes things simpler, information referenced easier, efficient and much much more productive.
The existing s off thread is in the general forum so anybody can post anytime too, so feel free to read and post, in that order

Yes I have read it over, If anyone can find any hboot that can be s-offed, does it have to be for the evita, or could we use an (ENG hboot?) from the jewel? I have read on one forum that this user flash successfully the evita on to his jewel, and it would boot to the bootloader, which is all you need for some of the o-ff tools, then once you write the S-OFF flag, you should be good to flash any hboot back and maintain that flag?
Anyways, I have read all over, I just can post in the dev forums... yet. I have read them all over time and time again. So this is yet another option to try out.

as 18th.abn rightly reminded us, the s-off thread is in general so you can post to it, just tread lightly...

You were asked to tread lightly in the s-off thread but no you go in there and bombard/pollute the thread with irrelevant comments. The S-off thread is not for you to ask questions. If you have a MEANINGFUL contribution to make by all means do but at this point why don't you sit back, take a deep breath and READ instead of pissing everybody off and making an already tense situation worse,
Please, pretty please. I'm f#$%&ing begging you.
