Hey,
I've HTC Sensation with htcdev unlock, 4EXT recovery and viper rom. It's from O2 DE and as far as I know there is no full RUU for my device so JuopunutBear won't work and I don't have backup of original software... I've tried JuopuntuBear on windows with older version and latest one on ubuntu live-cd - it doesn't work
Could you help me with getting S-OFF?
EDIT:
My hboot: 1.27

Hi,
You could just flash a stock ROM.
Look HERE
Make sure you use the correct one for your phone.
Tanks, I'll try that and update this post.
EDIT:
It worked like a charm! Thank you again. My only advice is to enable SmartFlash in 4ext recovery, because without it flashed rom didn't want to boot up.

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!

Hi guys,
I've got some ****y problem. So I was on Jelly Bean rom with revolutionary S-Off but wanted to have feature full phone and thought ok go back to stock (bad idea...)
So I followed a tutorial flashed Eng Hboot and wanted to restore with an O2 Gingerbread RUU. Everything worked fine until I got Error 140 (Bootloader failure)...Now I'm S-On but I don't have any rom on my phone so I'm stuck in recovery.
S-On
Hboot 0.98.0000
Radio 38.03.02.14_M
In my opinion I have to get a goldcard to flash a ruu on top of all that **** ^^ Buuut I can't boot so no ADB, hence I can't get my CID. Tried some tools to get CID via card reader but It didn't work for me.
Any Help, Suggestions? Help me to fix my android and avoid to buy an Iphone ^^
Cheers
main version check fail...that stopped the RUU
Have a go at fastboot, if that doesn't work it will need to be sent off to the repair center to be reprogrammed by JTAG experts.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
I can enter fastboot and do commands that's not the problem. Sadly my hboot seems to be too low for htcdev unlock -.- ...And I don't know of any method to get ADB working in bootloader, fastboot, ...
Can you get into recovery from fastboot? If so, you can run ADB from there.
Sent from my Desire S
Why not trying to flash the ruu that suits your carrier,
Besides, it's best not to use eng-hboot in order to get back to s-on, imho,it's best to upgrade hboot to revolutionary 7.x after using revolutionary s-off, it's compatible with most 2.3.5ruus and custom roms.
I can get into recovery but it is stock recovery...and adb doesn't recognize my device while i'm in there ...
The ruu suits my carrier, as I said the signature check was true but the version check failed...i would need a newer o2 ruu but that doesn't exist
help me pls^^
Can you flash a custom recovery, such as 4EXT or CWM, using a PG88IMG zip file on your sdcard?
Sent from my Desire S
Hey Bill thx for your help! I used an old phone wich could get into CWM Got CID of SD Card and did the Gold Card method! Flashing Ruu PG88IMG right now

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.
Vincenzo.

Ok, I'll answer to myself, use the CWM-SuperSU-v0.95.zip archive. It works with ICS.

Hi,
I've tried to flash a new rom to my HTC Sensation and have got it spectacularly wrong. I used Hasoon2000's All-In-One tool to unlock my bootloader and root. I then did a wipe clean and installed Inspiration.
The phone had a Vodafone boot screen if that helps - I believe it is the z710e. The install of the rom seemed to go okay but I've rebooted and it's not getting stuch on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
Any help would be amazing!
Thanks.
EDIT: My HBOOT is 1.27, I'm not sure if I need higher? My firmware I believe is 3.32- when I try to put higher on by putting PG59IMG.zip on my root, my phone parses it but doesn't do anything afterwards. Could this be my problem?

you are still on S-ON so you can't upgrade firmware in that way
do you have 4ext recovery installed?
if not then use 4ext to install the rom
and before installing the rom
format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
enable smartflash from it
flash the rom
done

Couldn't get 4ext to work but found one that does eventually. Downloaded Android Revolution as I know this works with my phone and now can boot! Having trouble getting a signal now though. Any more suggestions?
Thanks for the reply, really helped me out!
Hello guys. I'm new in this "world" and I need some help.
I have unlocked the bootloader using HTC Dev, I'm also root and I have 4EXT recovery.
I want to be S-off to be SuperCID, install firmware 3.33 universal and then install ROMs without problems.
The webpage of Juopunutbear says that I needd to have a stock RUU and no other ROMs are supported. I have Android 4.0.3 official, it was updated by the phone (I haven't changed anything, for now hehe). Can I use Juopunutbear? Is my Android a stock RUU? If not, how can I use Juopunutbear? I've been looking for Stock RUU but I haven't found any version equals or bigger than my build number (3.32). My sensation is a Vodafone Spanish phone.
Thank you!!!
