Hi, guys, first of all I'm an absolute noob so bear with me if I didn't found all the answer even after having searched through the forum.
My big question is about the re-engineered HBOOT 2.00.002. I have a virginal Desire S, non s-off'ed and non rooted, HBOOT is the latest, that is 2.00.002. I want to load the latest official ICS rom from htc and, as I think I understood, HBOOT must be latest version, therefore non s-off since there is no way to s-off that version. But I also would like to just go to CM10 in the future.
Then I read about the re-engineered HBOOT 2.00.002. This HBOOT should give me s-off and the ability to load the ruu rom. Only catch is that you should re-partition the phone. And that's when things get weird. Does I need to do the re-partitioning before installing the ruu ICS rom after installing the re-engineered HBOOT? If so, in order to install the ruu ICS rom, does I need to have any working rom on the phone, that is, does I need to do the nandroid backup to have back my ginger bread 2.3.5 before installing the ruu ics rom?
And going on, currently there is any way to root the phone while on ICS htc stock rom?
But most important of all, what this re-enginnered hboot really is? The revoked/revolutionary mod only works on hboot versions before the 2.xxxx. Is this re-engineered hboot a 2.00.002 official hboot that has been modified to be s-off or is it a previous hboot s-off'ed via revolution but with a different version number?
Thank you all,
Vincent.

If I was you I would forget about the re-engineered HBOOT and just run the RUU and put ICS on your phone.
The re-engineered HBOOT is only for people who have S-Offed using the revolutionary method and have had trouble with the Android 4.0 Sense ROMs. You have absolutely no need to use it now.
If you want CM10 in the future then all you need to do is unlock your bootloader with htcdev, flash a new recovery (4EXT or CWM) and install CM10 from your custom recovery. You will be required to flash the boot.img file separately if you are S-On.
Hi Kavrocks, thank for your prompt answer. I'll surely follow your advice, it's the easiest way and my first goal is to get an easy ICS on my phone. My only doubt is about being able to get to cm10 or whatever else since no rooting hack has already been developed for the new ICS rom.
Do you think HTC will push updates on the new ICS rom or, being it for developer only, it will be just stuck to its original state?

Original.
By what I understand, now that an official ICS ROM is out and thus binary drivers are available, we should expect a fully working non-original ROM in a short time. How much time do you think it will take for the CMx developer to integrate the binaries into the CMx ROM?

Don't tell this my Desire S, HBOOT 2.00.002, S-ON, unlocked with stock ICS and root
Just do this:
- unlock your phone: www.htcdev.com
- Install stock ICS
- install a custom recovery using fastboot
- install superuser using custom recovery
Ok, I've succesfully got ICS on my Desire, eventhough I had to do a 'fastboot oem lock' to get past a 155 error. Now, would you please be so kind to tell me the exact filename of the superuser exploit that you have applied on ICS? I'm asking this to you because I've tried the 3.1.3 on GB2.3.5 and it always hang on 'waiting root access right'.
Thank you.

THIS IS FOR UNBRANDED 401 PHONES ONLY! IT MIGHT WORK FOR OTHERS BUT I WOULD RATHER NOT TRY...
Update 2011/08/14
Added more information and details
Renamed thread into GUIDE
Using this guide will reset your device into a vanilla 2.3.4 HTC Sensation phone. Your SD-Card wont be touched and you will have S-OFF and root. This will lock your bootloader but that should not be a problem since you are still S-OFF and can flash whatever you want - except the bootloader. I tested these steps and i have a 2.3.4 401 Sensation with Locked HBOOT, S-OFF and root.
If you want S-OFF & ROOT on the latest HTC 2.3.4 ROM follow the steps:
1) Backup
2) Get S-OFF on 2.3.3 (Guide Thread)
3) Recover your phone with original 2.3.3 Update

4) Update to 2.3.4 via "Over The Air" (OTA) or using OpenRecovery (OR). I did not use the OR-Method but you can find a lot of information about here. I do not advertise any guides for the OR-method since i did not test them myself.
4) Execute step 2.1 to 2.6 from the Sensation Guide (Guide Thread)
5) Get root again: Sensation Guide 3.1 to 3.12 (Guide Thread)

anyone have a change log? google failed me for once in my life
The 2.3.4 update include an new hboot Version 1.18...
Are u sure that u can install cwm and root the phone again after applying the update?
I think u will be s-on again after the hboot get changed...
Everything I'm reading (the two other threads about this update) says the above method will NOT work. I don't think the OP even tried. Wait for a real dev to cook this up.

Oh boy Some of use knew this was gonna happen
do not flash this to a stock rooted rom - it will **** it up - wait for your favourite dev to update their rom
flashing this will give you the new locked htc bootloader and you will not be s-off anymore (even though it still says you are)
it's taken me nearly 3 hours to get back to normal

Hi all,
I've just done this update
Backup with Titanium
Reflash with 2.3.3 stock ROM (my Sensation was already S-Off)
OTA update to 2.3.4
ClockWork Recovery
Root
Restore with Titanium
Reboot and that's it
No OTA
I did exactly like shown in the first post, but i wont get the update ota. It sais that my phone is actually actual.
Could I have done something wrong?
Got the Sensation from T-mobile -> debrandet it like this:

And used the RUU version from the first post.
Thanks
done as suggested - works fine for me!
I was off this weekend.
I posted this howto cause i did it with my phone. Whyever would i post a guide when it does not work?!
Using this guide will lock your bootloader but that should not be a problem since you are still S-OFF and can flash whatever you want - except the bootloader.
At least thats the case for me.

no - i did not try to.
I am pretty happy with my phone right now. Fast and long battery pack - replaced Sense with LP.
When testing the early (pre-soff) custom roms and test recoverys I had to flash stock RUUs a couple of times.
To get the phone back into a decent state I needed to pg58 flash eng&unsecured boot then root and fastboot recovery.
Can't for the life of me think why anyone would s-off their phone then install stock/ota for any reason (bar repair). It's like buying a track day race car, shouting "look what I've got" then pushing it around rather than thrashing it.

If you just flash the new hboot, it will say lock at the top of the bootloader screen. But you should be able to flash eng hboot, cause I just tried it.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I removed the hboot from the OTA before flashing it so couldn't confirm for myself. There's been a lot of conflicting information about whether phones are still S-OFF after running the unmodified OTA but it appears that they are. I only ran the RUU then OTA so I could have a backup of a stock 1.45 system.img.

As of the moment, revolutionary does not support the new hboot. The only way to s-off again is to downgrade.
Or you are able to unlock but will remain s-on by using htcdev site, which elk enable you to flash custom ROM and recovery but you must be aware that boot needs to flashed via fast boot

here you can see a procedure how to obtain superuser access to an S-ON mobile, and flash recovery and of course flash an unrooted custom ROM. I personally used the MIUI v1.11.11
I have a Desire S fully unlocked in the UK, looking to put android 2.3.7 on it. It has the latest version 2.3.5 on with hboot 2.00.002.
Has anyone achieved this yet?? If so how??
Thanks in advance!
Android 2.3.7 is available via CM7 or MIUI, not sense
Apologies but I don't really know what that means. I am wanting to remove all of the HTC software and run just android.
ok, I understand now, what I need to be able to do is S-OFF 2.00.0002?

You can gain full S-OFF on HBOOT 2.00.0002. You can unlock the bootloader at http://htcdev which will allow you to flash a custom recovery and install CM7.1 ROM which is based on GB 2.3.7.
Thanks very much

My s-on was taken down in a service by xtc clip. This is the simplest way...
Install through ROM Manager after all the steps?
better install 4ext recovery, how to is somewhere in this forum. Than you can convert your partitions to 4ext fs, what is suported by most of roms. 4ext works better for me. to manage your roms download 4ext updater from market.

Yes that is the procedure to follow. You can install CM 7.1 ROM after you have finished step 7, but I would go ahead and finish step 8 also. That will root your existing ROM so when you make a 'nandroid' backup before you flash CM 7.1, you will have a fully rooted backup of your system.
hey there,
bought my gf a desire s to christmas. i, as a sensation user at the moment am very comfortable with development. flashing, adb, fastboot and things like that are working flawless.
as i don't have so much time to read atm, i have some questions concerning the way to set the desire s up. it was shipped with 1.47 rom, t-mobile branded, sense 2.1, android 2.3.1 and hboot 0.98.0002
i want to flash this rom: endymion sense v3.1 (android 2.3.5, sense 3.5)
i already achieved s-off with revolutionary, hboot is now 6.98.1002 with radio 3805.06.02.03_M. 4ext recovery 2.2.7RC5 is installed as well.
now i saw, that there is RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe availble. i also read in the forum, that this ota brings some parts for firmware, which are not flashed with a custom rom.
so would you recommend to flash this ruu first? wouldn't i lose s-off then? would i be abled to achieve s-off again after flashing this? also, for my sensation i would have to supercid first - i didn't read about this here in the forums.
what i would want to do:
1. flash RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe
2. run revolutionary again
3. flash custom recovery
4. flash endymion v3.1
would it be possible this way? or would you recommend any other way to me? i want to have all firmware parts as up to date as possible before i flash the custom rom.

Cause you are already s-off I would say it's senseless to use the ruu first, because it would put you back to s-on like you suggested, but only if the revolutionary bootloader doesn't make problems.
There are many reports of problems with it and I would say you should replace it with the 2.00.2002 engineer bootloader.
before just flash a custom recovery (I would recommend 4ext touch) and if your done with the bootloader flash the ROM of your choice.
To get bootloader, recovery,... just look at the index thread at the development section, it's all in there.
The last step to achieve a full upgraded phone would be to update the radio to the latest version, this you will also find at the index thread.
Happy modding

Yes this guide is to "downgrade" (in fact it's an upgrade, even if the version number is lower).
Yes you would stay s-off.
No it not brings you all what is missing, just a part of it, the rest you get with flashing the radio and the rom.

It's not really needed, you can do it if it's in the zip (or better said if it's there it's done at the flashing procedure), but you're also good to go without it.
Hi at all,
I need to know if what i saying is right.
I Have HTC Desire S with original Rom 2.10.401.8 and HBOOT 2.00.0002 S-On
My goal is to install the Endymion
I read many thread and i understood that the curret way to do this is:
1) Downgrade My ROM from 2.3.5 ( 2.10.401.8 with HBOOT 2.00.0002) to a ROM 2.3.3 with HBOOT 0.98.00000 (Ex: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe)
To do this i need to follow the steps from 1 to 7 of this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20535265&postcount=26
2) Now i need to change HBOOT, Change Recovery and Root the phone. To do this i need to use Revolutionary tool for Windows from http://revolutionary.io/ and follow the istruction.
3) Now i can download the custom Rom and install using this way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731
Is It right?
Thanks
K.
100% right, just follow the instructions given by a particular ROM to flash though.
You can also look at HTCdev, but no point in using it (telling HTC you have voided your warranty) so I would use your method.
And 1.47.401.4 is Hboot 0.98.0002 (not that is matters though)
I have just done this this exact way and it worked great
Hi guys. I would like do the same thing with a Desire S, hboot 2.00.0002 S-ON.
After downgrading i'll have hboot 0.98.00000 S-ON.
Than, I should use revolutionary to get my phone S-OFFed and with a new recovery tool, is it right?! (Is there any guide, cause I'm a beginner...?)
Now, is my anroid 2.3.3 phone rooted?!?! So that I can install SU to remove app...
And now, if I would like to come back to android 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 rooted, can I flash a custom rom!? Or do I need something else, like installing clockworkmod recovery?
Thanks !!!

I would install 4ext recovery or the mentioned clockworkmod recovery.
After you have done so, you can flash any ROM (custom or not).
I prefer using a sense 3.5 ROM, but you can either choose sense 3.0 or AOSP.
But before flashing a new ROM you should always backup your system and data
Have fun!

So my problem is that any rom i flash with Sense 3.5 will not boot, but will keep rebooting and rebooting. I am new to sensation but i did google this issue without solutions. My sensation is unlocked, from htc dev. S-ON, rooted, hboot is 1.8. I wanted to s-off, but revolutionary failed to get root. I don't know why. Currently i am able to flash roms with sense 3.0.
I will appreciate any help. I do full wipe before flashing. Please advice.

I don't want ics, i only want to have GB with Sense 3.5 and i read that once i update to hboot 1.27 then i should forget GM roms. So, do i really need to have hboot 1.23 or 1.27 to flash GB roms with Sense 3.5? Thanks
No you don't need those hboots but if you want to flash ics then yes you do
So how can i avoid the bootloop whenever i flash a GB rom with Sense 3.5? i am able to flash and boot GB roms with Sense 3.0. i have unlocked bootloader, hboot 1.18. any other requirement needed to flash a GB rom with Sense 3.5?

i did try many times, apart from that revolutionary will only give me s-off and recovery, my understanding is that to flash any custom rom i need to be rooted and have recovery but my phone is rooted and recovery is installed, i even have the bootloader unlocked. please correct me if i am mistaken.
You actually need s -off of you plan flashing ics roms and want to be able to downgrade hboot if you ever want to go back your hboot is unlocked but your security flag is still on and that's the most important thing
