If I have stupidly done the official htcdev.com unlock and I want to S-OFF can I still use the revolutionary S-OFF method. Will doing both the official unlock and the revolutionary method cause any issues? Has anyone tried this?
S-off
I think htc's site just makes your device s-off, but use the revolutionary method because in cases of warranty, htc's site might take a number down from your phone so if you happen to send it back they'll look up that number and you have to pay for the phone again if they found out that you s-off it. plus the revolutionary way is very easy
I have already done the htcdev unlock. My device is unlocked but S-ON. My question is if I do the revolutionary unlock on top of the htcdev unlock will it damage my phone?
The only issue it gave me was wipe all my downloaded apps, contacts, and homescreen layout (everything else was in tact).
I also have some issues getting into the bootloader (sometimes it works, sometimes it dosen't).
I've unlocked the bootloader through HTC Dev, and still have S-On.
I used rev to s-off and tried a few custom roms then flashed the 1.45 euro ruu and then used the htcdev to unlock bootloader againg just to see if it would work as I have a T-Mobile UK branded handset. HTC has 2 levels of unlock you have bootloader unlock and s-off you don't need s-off to flash custom fw just first stage unlock which leaves s-on but you will have a pink bar with unlocked in it at the top of your bootloader. Unlock still has a limited warrenty but s-off voids all warenties

Kindly... can anyone help me using "Unlock Root" ?
After uninstalling the HTC software, (leaving the drivers), disabling Fastboot and put Desire S in debugging, I launched "Unlock Root". After more attempt, the procedure was successful:
Ready
Starting adb server
get online devices (much more rapidly passes to the next step)
Chose the Connected Device: (recognized HTC Desire S 2.3.5)
get devices online
waiting for debug mode
try to get root shell permission May Take Several Minutes
root Succeed!
Unfortunately Desire S is alwais *** LOCKED *** S-ON
I repeated the procedure many times, but the result always the same.
I forgot / mistaken something?
My phone:

You are confusing rooting a phone with gaining S-OFF. To date there has not been a solution developed that will S-OFF HBOOT 2.00.0002. You can change the "LOCKED" status to "UNLOCKED" by using the procedure at HTCDEV.com and this will allow you to flash a custom recovery and then install custom ROMs.
only way to get Permanent Root is to make your device S-OFF....what do you use to root your device?"unlockroot"?

No! i'm not confusing rooting with S-OFF ! I know S-OFF HBOOT 2.00.0002 solution but i desire only S-OFF. Also I do not want downgrade HBOOT 2.00.0002 to 0.98 !
I want only (for root-applications) S-OFF, and Unlock Root don't work in my case.
Using procedure at HTCDEV.com invalidate the warranty ! You know ?

i repeat the only way to get PERM ROOT IS to get it to S-OFF or to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER VIA HTC DEV.. If Unlock Root works for you then its just SHELL ROOT!.. the root disappears when you restart the device.
And the ONLY way to get S OFF is to DOWNGRADE and use Revolutionary. (which you can do anything you want)
you can unlock bootloader also with HTC dev.(which only let you root, flash roms and kernels)
YOU CANT DO ANYTHING(root,etc) WITH A LOCK BOOTLOADER, same with a S-ON.. Read the forums...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
Ummm... Correct me if I'm wrong, but @up talks b.s. ... My d.S is s-on, bootloader unlocked by htcdev and perm rooted.
I've restarted my device numerous times and not loosing root... Latest hboot on it ofcourse.
Oh... And rooted with "super one click". (if it helps with anything)
I rooted mine yesterday by unlocking the bootloder through htcdev.com then using super one click v2.2

Dude,, youve unlock using htc dev. that means you can get PERM ROOT.. Unlocking with HTC DEV mean you can flash roms/ root but not as equal as S-OFF. As you can see. it still S-ON because there are still security parameters in the device which are still ON in order to protect the system. S-OFF can only be done using Revolutionary and by that you can do anything with the system.. "UNLOCK BOOTLOADER= FALSE S-OFF"
I have previously rooted my device, but was bothered by the bootloader saying
Tampered
Unlocked
I then decided to restore it to factory/stock rom, which I was successful in doing, and bootloader is now relocked
I used Hasoon2000's toolkit and followed all the steps correctly, everything said it was successful but when i boot into bootloader says that it is still relocked
What could be causing this?
I'm running 2.20 btw, h-boot 1.14
htc one x evita AT&T
i am new to this as well but im pretty sure it will stay "relocked"
as you tampered with it already and there is no way of getting it back to normal (from what i read in the forums) more knowledgable people correct me if im wrong
i believe the only way to get it not to say relocked is with s-off
I think he's trying to unlock his bootloader again, not trying to get rid of the relocked message.

The only way to change that in the bootloader is to s-off then some other fun stuff.

Yeah that's what I'm trying to do...
I just went through the toolkit process again, and same thing. still says relocked
Radio S-Off was mentioned, what are some of the basic steps required for that?

sorry i misread your post
hello everyone, android user and my device s-off in the first year I want to do but how to do it without the support of htcdev? Is there a program available? When I unlock my device also has root? Am I going to root sturdy at the same time to s-off? I just want to get rid of device applications that official. 5 4.2.2 installed on my device, this device can sense it possible to root for?
Thank you.
I think you're confused as to what s-off is and unlocking is, they're two entirely different things. You don't use htcdev to get s-off. You use htcdev to unlock your bootloader, and no you cannot unlock your bootloader without htcdev. Unlocking your bootloader doesn't give you root, after unlocking the bootloader you must install a custom recovery and then you can gain root. After gaining root you can get SuperCID and then you can get s-off. If all you want to do is remove some system apps, then you'll just need to unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery, and install root.

You don't need s-off to delete bloatware (pre-installed apps). Just use HTCDev.com to unlock the bootloader. Then install custom recovery, then either flash SU or a rooted ROM to get root.
The process to s-off is simple (see Facepalm method in the Original Android Development subforum). However, it requires SuperCID. Since the CID is protected on Sense 5, you will not be able to SuperCID (and therefore S-off).
But as already mentioned, you don't need S-off to root and delete bloatware.
I'm at a loss and somewhat confused.
I read in one place that I need to s-off to update my radio, but in order to do that I need super-cid.
so I'm trying to change my cid from ROGER001 to 11111111.
Now I'm reading that I can s-off without super-cid? All I'd like to do is update my radio and kernel so my phone stops losing signal and stops rebooting. I should also mention that I already went to htcdev and unlocked my bootloader.
What I see in fastboot:
TAMPERED
UNLOCKED
Evita PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.14.0000
RADIO-0.23a.32.09.29
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815

Viper Xl 4.2.0(amazing Rom btw)
HTC Sense 5.0
I have tried the script, it failed, manual method, that failed.
manual method gets me this result after I fastboot oem readcid(ok), fastboot oem writecid 11111111

I'd like to resolve this as my signal stops, and device reboots randomly.

Nope, wherever you read that, its completely incorrect.
It says right in the s-off method instructions, in big bold print that SuperCID is required: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
If you are having trouble with s-off, the other solution to random reboots on Sense 5 is to install the Beastmode kernel.

I actually started to type "as mentioned in a bazillion different places" after my Beastmode statement in the previous reply. But I decided to be nice!
I checked out this link again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952038
i still get an error, it fails on step 6 with message [-] Failed.
I'll give beastmode another shot, i've tried it before, no success.

The x-factor exploit fails since its looking for the AT&T CID. For other CIDs, you need to edit it manually using the hex edit method.
If you have trouble with installing Beastmode, I think some folks have had to install Beastmode 2.0 before installing 3.5.
After many attempts, boot loops beastmode reloaded 3.5 finally took.
So now I need to ask if I need s-off, i've done everything except upgrade my radio.
I'll only update my radio if the antenna drops keeps dropping out.
Well, radio went out, no reboots yet, I'll see what else I can try.
no i want to only rooting device, this video help me ? cause title for htc one."but my device hox"

No it won't work, it's not for this phone. Only ever use guides specifically for this device or you could brick it. As I've already told you, you absolutely cannot root this device without unlocking the bootloader through htcdev first. I'm not sure why you're still searching for ways to do it, they do not exist. There's no point in coming here for advice if you don't even listen to the answers you're given.

some people say me "when using htcdev for unlock your warranty get void" thats true ?
Absolutely nowhere within this forum does it say you need s-off to root, because you don't. I've already told you that. I can't view that video for some reason but unless it specifically says it's for the Evita don't use it. All you need is in the Everything Evita link in my signature, do not get information anywhere else, XDA is the only place you need to look.
As I've already told you, if you want to root you need to unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery first. In the link I mentioned there are guides on how to do this, you need to follow the guide that pertains to your current firmware version.
