please update 1st post with new 1click
made a little mistake, included gingerbreak for root even if perm root is required for this 1click
new code:
Code:
@echo off
cls
adb devices
echo If your device is not listed exit this program now, enable usb debugging and try again.
pause
cls
adb push hboot.img /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/hboot.img
echo Please accept superuser request on your phone
adb shell su
pause
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
adb shell dd if=/data/local/tmp/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
echo Bootloader should be flashed to your device now, backup from old bootloader is saved at /sdcard/backup.img
pause
adb reboot bootloader

Sorry, but newbie question here , what benefits are there to me (soff/root/unsecured boot.img) having used XTC and super one click would this engineering hboot provide?
I'm currently on hboot 0.98.0000
Thanks for answers

And all I need to do it's flash the PG188IMG.zip as per normal?
am I correct on thinking that this update doesn't contain a radio as I've already update mine?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

it's only hboot, well u can use the PG88IMG.zip or the 1click i offered, both ways should work without problems

These HBOOT is based on my boot?
In that case I'm very happy for this

Is possible to restore original hboot and stock firmware for warranty purpose?

probably it comes from your device even if it isn't the only one... you're special but not "so much"
anyway it seems that one (or more) developer inside htc flash randomly an un-locked hboot

yep, so wait before flash
anyway you can flash the recovery so you can start by upgrading your radio

shortly said: htc ruu will restore everything EXCEPT xtc clip s-off

hmmmm the text says soff and perm root
we have clockwork mod recovery images for desire s
so we can finally flash other roms
rephrase: i am formiliar with cmd/adb
if i flash the pd image and then the clockwork recovery over fastboot then i would be able to flash the coredroid rom

Will this new guide applicable to s-on desire s? To male it s off?

[Tutorial] [Discontinued] How to restore stock ROM and S-On after AlphaRevX S-Off

I am sorry to announce, but I am pulling this tutorial. Tutorial is not meant for branded phones and recently I am getting few of those asking for help!
Sorry unbranded device owners, but my intention is to have brick free world!
Have a nice day! And safe flashing.
P.s. FYI, new boot loader can be unlocked using htcdev.com and locked again using the same.
/Edzz

good to know if somthing goes wrong and must be done in warranty time

can I use your guide for my thread ? I will give you credit.. thanks.

Why not do it the easy way since you're already S-OFF?
Take the ENG HBOOT found here and put the PG88IMG.zip in the root of your SD card
Boot into the bootloader (Volume Down + POWER)
Go into FASTBOOT mode
The bootloader will automagically detect your new HBOOT and install it
After rebooting your phone you can install any RUU you want. That will bring HBOOT back to the installed original
Make sure you make a good backup up front and be carefull what RUU to flash. The newer ones will overwrite HBOOT with version 0.98.0002, which, up to this date, can't be put to S-OFF yet by Alpharevx. I recommand you install the oldest RUU version you can find. A list of original ROMS can be found here
Good luck!

@nodeffect
Feel free.
@jorgen2009
such approach won't work with Alpharev hboot. They appear to have kinda locked it by making it appear ar 6.x Hboot version. That means, that bootloader will bypass upgrade. Been there, tried that, didn't work

The original ENG HBOOT didn't work if i recall correctly. Redownload the ENG-HBOOT and you'll notice the version has changed to a number higher than Alpharev's. It DOES work now, in fact, my phone is S-ON again as we speak

Will have to try that again.

Only the PG88IMG.zip, don't rename or extract it or it won't work, just put the file in the root of your SD card

So what is the use of Eng S-Off.rar?
And another question the RUU is an .exe?
And is this old enough RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed ?
Thanks.
LE: i flashed the pg88img.zip and i am still Alpharevx hboot 6.xxxxx etc (but the update was successful)
Maybe... if i flash a RUU? I just wanted to get eng s-off.. don't want to get s-on now

just check again in fastboot, ENG HBOOT version has changed to 6.98.2000 iirc. After running the RUU it should be 0.98.0000 again as ENG HBOOT can be overwritten in contrast to the AlphaRevX HBOOT. If you only want ENG HBOOT don't flash the RUU obviously

Try to re-download Eng Hboot (normal and modified) after deleting browser cache. Disable antivirus software during download and transfer to microsd.
Do not download file directly with desire S browser: use a pc
You can try also with a different microsd card

BTW I changed the link in my first post here to this one. I accidently posted the wrong version

BTW...... the original eng hboot is 1 mb and this modified one is only 260 kb ???
Maybe that's why it doesn't work.
In winrar i have like this

Added your guide to my thread. Thanks for this one, it's very useful.
p.s. you got a typo for the title of this thread. "Tutorial", not totutial... please correct it, thanks

I did it.. using the adb comands in first page..

(Windows only? Not sure if RUU works on other platforms)
With thanks to user Murchelago for providing adb method to restore stock boot and HTC for providing RUU's here is step by step, how to return to stock after Alpharevx S-Off.
Prerequisites:
Debugging mode on
Root access
Hboot.img (attached)
RUU for stock restore. Can be downloaded here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
How to:
1. Put the hboot.img you want to flash in the root of the sdcard.
2. In cmd run the following commands (after each command press enter):
adb devices
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot bootloader
3. RUN Downloaded RUU
4. You are on stock again!
After running ADB commands and rebooting into bootloader, you will get security warning. This is normal, just continue with flashing RUU.
Worked for me perfectly 3 times without any issues. However issues might occur and I can not take any responsibility for them. Use this tutorial on your own responsibility

I can confirm that you CANNOT just RUU a device. As the name implies, ROM Update Utility.
I followed everything on the first page and can confirm that I've successfully reverted back to HBOOT 0.98.0000.
AFAIK my phone was flashed with the hTC_Asia_WWE_1.31.707.2 on stock.
I tried to RUU using the oldest firmware that I can find, HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1. But it gave me the error 131 (AFAIK) customer ID error. About language and stuffs. Model ID, etc.
So I tried to RUU with the oldest hTC_Asia_WWE_1.31.707.2 (the oldest that I can find that is an ASIA one.). Then it gave me the error 140 (bootloader error). The readme doesn't have any information on this one, even on the net for HTC Saga.
So I tried to RUU with the "LATEST" hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.1 that I found and everything works well. I really am not quite sure why I was not able to "downgrade", just "upgrade".
AFAIK i just updated my radio to the latest 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M found on the hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.1 when I was S-OFFed. It may have something to do with it.
Just an additional info. I'm now S-ON and on-stock hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.1_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M

Ladies & Gentlemen,
Here is the ENG HBOOT for any alpharevx S-OFFed saga (Desire S) device.
Enjoy.
How to :
Simply copy the attached file at the root of your sd card
Power off your phone
Remove battery
Replace battery
Hold volume down while powering your phone on
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Please let us know your feedback.

Also, which file is the correct / latest file ? (I assume the first one as this was updated and edited on 21 July 2011).
I have already 'S-off' with AlphaRevX with HBOOT now showing as 6.98.1002
Thanks

From my understanding there is no reason NOT to use the ENG hboot once you've applied alpharevx even though that process patches your hboot so that it has the same functionality
EDIT: unless your intention is to return to stock via RUU, as eng hboot can be over written whereas alpharevx can't.
EDIT: ENG is probably best way to go, have amended this comment!

The file needs to be renamed PB88IMG in CAPS. This method does work but in this instance it didn't work for me, and I had to push it via adb.

In my opinion eng h/boot is the better option, if your phone develops a fault an you have to RUU you've have one less hurdle to clear on a faulty phone.

I tried, but it didnt work with me. U can try by this (it worked with me) :
1. download PM88IMG.zip from theard ENG HBOOT for alpharevx S-OFFed phones
2. Extract zip file and then rename to hboot.img.
3. Put the hboot.img you want to flash in the root of the sdcard.
4. In cmd run the following commands (after each command press enter):
adb devices
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot bootloader
Done. Now u have ENG hboot s-off, if you want to Eng hboot S-on u can download file PM88IMG.zip from theard Tutorial] How to restore stock ROM and S-On after AlphaRevX S-Off

[Q] phone crashing after 5-10seconds on all ROMs :(

Hi all,
I have an HTC Sensation that i tried to update the ROM on, and am stuck!
I was running an old ICS + Ssense 3.5 ROM and decided to try JB .. wish i hadn't!
Phone is running the following

both flashed sucessfully, however my phone now crashes within 5-10seconds of booting saying 'process.android.acore has stopped unexpectedly' and hangs, then reboots the phone and is stuck in that loop.
Cache was cleared before ROM was installed, and performed the following steps before trying to reflash
Wiped Cache
Performed Factory Reset
Formatted all partitions (except sd card)
I have tried 2 different roms, from a stock ICS rom to a different JB rom, but they all do the same thing .. boot, freeze, then reboot and repeat.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
You are trying to install a ROM while you have got the wrong firmware.
Look HERE
Follow the guide to the letter.
Update your recovery(4EXT)
Firmware
Then,choose your ROM.

Thanks i will give it a go when i get home from work! wont have enough time this morning sadly, aah a day without a phone
Will that firmware work with a JB rom ? i see it is for ICS.. or is this the latest/best firmware ?
Appreciate your help

actually navigate to recovery and use power button to choose it
then you will see what recovery you have

ok thanks
im still not 100% sure im doing the right thing
step 1 - update 4EXT recovery Tools - DONE (now running v1.0.0.5 RC5) (obtained PG56IMG.zip)
step 2 - update firmware (not sure i have done this .. it mentions getting the PG58IMG.zip and HBOOTing it ... however isn't this exactly the same as step 1 ?
running 10.0.05 RC5 .. so that is a Kernel update and firmware update to 3.33 and now i just need the flash the ROM correct?
step 3 - install a ROM of my choice .. phone is still crashing
I have noticed the battery % is jumping all over the place .. from say 15% to 80% to 22% to 40% up and down .. perhaps i have a faulty battery which may be causing this

Hi,
PG58IMG.zip is just the package which contains what you want to flash.
It is the first thing the phone looks for when it is booted.
In this case you had 2 different things to flash:
Recovery
Firmware(which also includes radio)
What does your bootloader say now?

Firmware(which also includes radio)
What does your bootloader say now?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
im still confused.
so PG58IMG.zip contains the 4EXT Recovery ... AND the firmware+radio?
i boot the phone via volume down + power, and gets
Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.17.1111
RADIO-10.14.9035.02_2
eMMC-boot
June 2 2-11
then i select RECOVERY
and it loads 4EXT Recovery Tools v1.0.0.5 RC5
if i click INFO it says 'Current Rom : IML74K along with info for system/data/cache/sdcard

you have now 4ext recovery
but in order to boot JB CM10 you have to upgrade your firmware version(your hboot version and radio shows that you have gingerbread firmware)
the only you have to do is to flash 3.32fw or 3.33fw version from bootloader
and it must have the same name(pg58img.zip)

Hi,
NO.
PG58IMG.zip contains whatever is put in there so that the phone will read it and install it.
You must be very careful what you flash,and where you get it from.(Or you could brick your phone)
The link I gave you originally ( HERE ) contains very explicit instructions to
1. Install 4 EXT recovery
2. Install the next level of firmware you need to run ICS or JB ROMS.
It seems that you have the new recovery,but you do not appear to have installed the 3.33 Universal firmware.
The guide contains a link to the Kohr-Ah Firmware thread ( HERE )
There,you will get a different PG58IMG.zip which will contain the firmware and radio you need.
Like I said,follow the guide to the letter.

Thanks, i was getting confused with the PG58IMG.ZIP, but now that i understand its just a package wrapper it makes a lot more sense.
Apologies for getting confused and having to make you repeat yourself, i really appreciate the help you are giving me with the specific links
Ive installed the firmware and rebooted, however now it advises CID error. However i noticed i need to remove the PG58IMG.ZIP afterwards then reboot, so have removed this file from sd card after updating .. and did not get this error this time. i hope it has sucessfully updated.
boot phone with volume down + power and now get the following
-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-1.27 1100
RADIO-10.14.0935.02_2
eMMC-boot
Jan 13 2012 17:33:34
time to try and flash a rom .. i hope
*edit .. tried flashing CM10, and same thing. ROM loads fine, works for 10seconds, then freezes and reboots

Hi,
I am not sure what you flashed.
Your hboot has been updated,but your radio has not.
Which one did you flash ?
From what thread?
---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------
Hi,
I have to go now.
Look HERE
Download this radio:
Radio_11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M
Make sure you check the md5 checksums.
You can do this in recovery.
MAKE SURE THEY MATCH!!!
You should then be able to flash your ROM.

i have just tried to flash the Radio, however trying to do that advises CID Incorrect so i guess that is why the radio didn't work. I dont suppose anyone can advise how to fix the CID?
I need to do this via ADB right ? i have found the android-info in the zip i would need to modify ( i remember reading this somewhere ) but if soemone could point me to directions on how to find my CID and what i need to put exactly into the file would be appreciated

How to check your CID & MID:
You can do this one of the following ways.
1. fastboot load into the bootloader and do:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar mid
2. For those without fastboot you can use an app called CID Getter. CID is displayed at the top. MID is at the line ro.mid
This will not tell if you are SuperCID or not it just tells your original CID.
3. If you want to do it by terminal, open a terminal on the phone and do:
su
getprop ro.cid
getprop ro.mid
If it gives you the result of CID: 11111111 and MID PG58******
You are superCID. Use any file you like it doesn't matter they all work for you.

Hi,
It seems that you have typed the command incorrectly.
Go into recovery,into fastboot,then type the command in your pc terminal .
one more post ,and you have reached the magic 10

what do you mean?
i ran fastboot.exe getvar cid
which is the same as issueing(just with adding a file extension to it, this would not impact how it runs)
fastboot getvar cid.
its being executed from H:\adb\ADB_Fastboot_Windows .. so i dont think i have entered the command incorrectly

Back to Stock ROM ?

My phone's K2_UL
after trying to s-off with moonshine (unsuccessful), my phone is not stable : frequent automatic restarts (even after I just flash a new custom rom),
when i uninstall some system app by Titanium Backup then reboot, Those Apps still there.
i can not change font with apps
I want to return to stability!

Moonshine is only for JB, on k2_ul. If your apps still there, you are S-off, i think.
So, when you are on ICS, you can get SuperCid, then Facepalm S-Off, then you should be able to flash the European RUU. Should be possible cause you have k2_ul, but as ever, on your own risk!

Thats not the same! Your hboot is still ICS you only upgraded the Software.
This can also be the reason for your problems, cause we have jb hboot 2.00.

I you don't have a stock backup, you can think about the steps in post #6.
If you have a stock backup, restore it. Stock rom, stock boot.img, stock recovery, then do OTA update.

guide me in facebook messenger, plz

I don't use facebook. And this is something that you must solve on your pc.
The process is: copy the img from phone into sdcard and from sdcard into your adb folder. So maybe look into your sdcard (internal & external).
Ah, and did you allow on your pc to show hidden files!
