[Q] nexus one SPL with S-ON

Hi !
I am trying to unlock my nexus one bootloader for the first time. I followed the instructions on cynogen wiki. But I can't get fastboot to recognize my device because I have an SPL with S-ON. How do I go about unlocking my bootloader? Any help would be appereciated. I have tried to look for any resources that might help me with this, but not really got anywhere.
These are the details

I rooted and rommed my own phone some time back without any problems, thanks to many excellent posts on this site. My boss kept moaning that his sensation kept crashing/hanging/behaving badly - so I told him that I would root and rom his phone, Which I have done. Problem is though there's no BT or WIFI. I have tried several variations on PG58IMG.ZIP but none even offer to carry out the upgrade. The phones CID is VODAP001 and the text from the HBOOT is as follows....

I cannot seem to change the CID (I tired to superCID it). I'm fairly sure that it's the radio.img that needs to be updated - can anyone help me as to why this isn't happening. What PG58IMG.ZIP should I be using are there any additional locks that Vodafone have put on that I need to remove. The OS seems to work fine except no wifi or bluetooth. The ROM I installed is the AKOP milestone 6. Please help, my boss might sack me! :crying:
You would probably be better getting the phone to have S-OFF first.
You've not stated if the phone has gone through the HTCdev unlock mechanism. Although, I don't know what that achieves in comparison to full S-OFF.
EDIT:
In About Phone -> Software information what does it say r.e.:
Software Number
More -> Baseband version
dev unlocked and s-off. Sorry, I thought that was implied where I said "root and rom his phone, Which I have done"
Android version 4.0.4
baseband version 11.69A350400U_11.23.3504.07_M2
Kernel 3.0.16-gda3fdfc

Build Number IMM76I
mod ver aokp_pyramid_build-40
I've tried several PG%*IMG.zip files that appear to be the correct versions, but all they do is get as far as the Parsing... then returns me to the fastboot screen. Everything on the phone appears to work correctly except radio services (BT & Wifi) and the SD card won't mount on PC on USB mode, but I'm not bothered about that - if the Wifi works I can always network files onto the phone.

Hi,
According to your hboot,it says "S-ON" .
That is why no PG58IMG.zip will work
It seems that if you cannot see that,you should really not be playing with your boss's phone.
If you intend to carry on,look in my signature at the "Asskicker Thread "
That deals with s-on and flashing custom ROMS...

[Q] I need help, Cant update!

I rooted my HTC Sensation a few months ago and I could not get custom ROMS to go past there boot logo screens so I re-installed on carrier/factory ROM from a back up on the phones SD card. I originally wanted to do this to get JellyBean on my phone has HTC'S interface is a little ugly.
The problem is I want to install the latest system up date from my service provider but none of the RUU's I find for my Bell Mobility(Prymid_BM) phone are of the same version so it tells me I have the incorrect RUU, I want to install the system update but I cant because my phone is no longer stock. What els can I do to get my phone back to completely stock so carrier updates work forever and always.
My firmware version is 3.33 and all the BM RUU's i find are of and older version there for wont work
I have looked here for RUUs but there always to old:

I want my HTC Sensation on bell mobility to be completely stock so if you can help me please do so and give detailed answers so I'm not googling for hours like I already have been. What are my options, because as it stands right now services on my phone keep crashing and I have to keep telling it no don't report it to HTC, happens ALOT.

[Q] HTC One - Return to stock Help!

Hi All,
I'm a novice when it comes to Android so I really need all the help I can get. Thanks in advance to all contributions.
So I had a HTC One that was on firmware 4.2.2 Maximus HD firmware, rooted, and bootloader unlocked.
I attempted to return it back to the same state as it was when I first got the phone.
The phone was from O2 UK originally.
I attempted to follow some guides online, and managed to unroot my phone, and lock my bootloader, and using this RUU
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4
I managed to return to stock... only problem is,I then attempted to get an OTA update and nothing showed up
I then read somewhere that I needed to change my CID which I then changed from HTC__001 to O2___001
but still no luck, no OTA detected.
I then found something online called Guru resets from htc1guru.com so I unlocked my bootloader again.
As it stands, the bootloader is showing this information:
**** Unlocked ****
M7_UL PVT Ship S-OFF RH
CID-02___001

After unlocking the bootloader, I came to the realisation that I have no idea what im doing
So I decided to come here. Please help me...

need to update htc m8 verizon to marshmallow or any latest os

respected,
im very new to android environment, yet i have researched on flashing and unlocking bootloader and i have tried but failed leading to brick my device completely to a dumb dead phone.
i have HTC ONE M8 (verizon). it is carrier unlocked and currently i am using it in INDIA.
i have S-OFF and LOCKED BOOTLOADER. i want to upgrade it to latest STOCK firmware but the SOFTWARE UPDATE says that it requires Verizon Sim which i dont own anymore. i am currently in 4.4.2 and i want to update to latest OS just because KITKAT doesnt allow me to copy files from internal storage to external storage media. just because of this i want to upgrade.
i have got the update from software update of the device but upon installing a get an error saying that device is roaming, couldnt connect to verizon.
i have tried via HTC SYNC MANAGER but the UPDATE button is GREYED out.
PLEASE HELP ME!!! with the detailed and accurate guide with working links.
