Hi,
i just want to understand something, i was S-Off ,CWR and rooted on my stock ROM. There was a new update so i installed the new official ROM found from here:
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.3_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_219990_signed

Click to collapse
After that i installed again the CWR and rooted my phone again with no problem at all. I went to HBOOT today and i saw this:
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
RADIO-10.14.9035.01_M
eMMC-boot

and my question is how did i installed CWR and rooted while my bootloader is locked? Is the locked means that the bootloader can not been writen so i can not install the CWR?
Thanks.
Totally normal. Notice the S-Off part? You have a new hboot now, that's all. If you want extended fastboot commands you'll need to re-run revolutionary or flash the eng hboot. If you don't need them, then you are good to go. Just remember, S-Off IS S-Off
suprised s-off survied the RUU
Hi,
I am looking at installing the Endymion ROM however I haven't had much luck following any of the beginner guides and was wondering if anyone can help me through the process.
My phone says this on the boot screen:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
I believe I need to downgrade my HBOOT and then S-OFF before being able to install any ROM, however I cant find a guide that worked for my phone.
I was able to UNLOCK the device via HTCDev.
Please help.
Just flash the rom like any other then, extract boot.img from endymion and flash it using fastboot.
fastboot flash boot /pathtoyour/boot.img

Then you didn't do enough reading.... No matter how you cut it, jumping in without a firm understanding is dangerous.
Sooo you can downgrade still (follow the downgrade threads again) or carry on with your HTCdev unlocked phone..... and flash a recovery (don't forget about the boot.img)
Hi. For long time ago i decided to root my phone, i used htc dev. But yesterday i decided to try to get s-off with revolutionary. I followed this guide to downgrade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604255 , i succeded and had hboot: 0.98.0000, but after revolutionary i have this bootloader:
-Revolutionary-
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-38.03.02.11_M
eMMC-boot
Do i need to try and change my hboot to 0.98.0000? I tried to install a custom rom, but it hangs with the white HTC screen, dont know if it help to flash boot.img, as i did because i was s-on, or what there is wrong...?
Yes. If you have unlocked with HTC-Dev then you need to flash the boot.img as well.
OK, here's the skinny:
Win7Ulti 64bit
2x Desire S (one orange branded, one stock)
I have tried updating both from the official RUU from HTC both stall copying the update to the phone and after an hour or so, pulling the cable drops to the bootloader.
I have since unlocked the Orange phone from the HTCDev site, still no joy. I've also tried the PG88IMG zip, which is found, loads then drops back to the bootloader.

Any ideas where I can go from here?
I'm assuming it's my hboot version, everyone seems to be talking about 2.00.2002. Going to try updating it.
As you are S-ON, use my guide for downgrade and use your preferred RUU. If you have followed it correctly, you shouldn't have any problems.

Err, not sure what I should be downgrading, as I'm already on 2.00.0002. Should I be going to lower than this still?

You don't need to downgrade anything if you are using the latest released RUU.
Your bootloader does need to be locked which yours is not.
Let me clear what I've said: you can follow my guide (downgrading guide), but instead of using a downgrade RUU. Use the one that you prefer, may it be the latest RUU (upgrade your hboot, rom, etc), or old (downgrade your hboot, rom, etc). The guide should help you successfully RUU your phones.
Afaik, the PG88IMG.zip update method is only applicable for S-OFF devices. I may need to be corrected here.

K, will try locking again and running the RUU.

Still just hanging sending the update to the phone; pretty sure this is a comms issue now, but not sure where to go from here. Will have another bash tomorrow.
Hi all
Ive read alot of threads about rooting and know the basic bits as I used to own htc desire and rooted it via unrevoked.
Now i have Htc desire s with android 4.04 and S-Off after updating manually through my PC.
What additional steps do I need to take to root the device please as I am already S-OFF for some strange reasons after updating .
I have watched some videos as well but still not clear if I need to do something extra after unlocking bootloader from htcdev.com

just flash a recovery using fastboot . Once you have a recovery,you can either flash a new rom or the super user zip. also please ask questions at the help thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143855
