You don't need S-Off to flash a custom ROM; an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery is sufficient. More details instructions in the Ace Think Tank thread linked in my signature.
EDIT: why did you start two threads within a couple hours??

I'm lost cuz I read alot in many sites about how can I flash a custom rom and I faild to do it cuz almost pf the sites I read them . there are many missing files.and I'm new in theses things
plz
1- I have downloaded this rom and I want to instill it in my fone leedroid 2.2.2 in my fone
Can I download it
if so plz tell me the steps to do it
2- how can I make my fone works in another carrier
I will be thankful for you
I will delete the other thread
Like I said. Read the Ace Think Tank thread.
Hint: you need to flash a recovery from fastboot, then flash a ROM from recovery, then flash a boot.img from fastboot. And for carrier compatibility, you need to read the manual S-Off portion.
Inspire 4g update problem
Hello, I have an htc inspire 4g running OS 2.3.3 Gingerbread and I want to root it so I can flash custom rom but I need to downgrade the firmware first or else it wont work.
Other problem facing me is this that I need to flash in pd98img but when unfortunately bootloader is locked in my opinion because it is not detecting the img file.
When I tried to unlock the bootloader it says hboot update needed.
I need to know that how can I update the hboot of HTC inspire 4g.
I would be really thankful if I get a solution

Run a RUU that supports bootloader unlocking. If you do this with a PD98IMG.zip you need to put the file in the root of the SD card and name the zip exactly that.
Thanks for the reply.
I really appreciate it but please can you provide me with the link of the RUU because I was unable to find such RUU after several attempts.

Your RUU depends on which DHD software version you are running. If you can't find one you need to make s gold card and flash another version's RUU.

Why are you trying to get S-Off? I'm not willing to help other people with the manual S-Off method because I haven't done it personally and it's a method meant for advanced users who don't need help anyway; if you need help I advise that you stick to just unlocking your bootloader.
ADB and fastboot are two separate things. You can fastboot flash the boot.img without bricking the phone, yes. My signature has instructions for flashing the boot.img.
If the battery level fell, it fell...flashing stuff takes a lot of power. If you let it hang on the splash for awhile I could see it dropping 90%.

If it takes more than a minute, you probably didn't flash the boot.img.
Because I didn't understand the question. And still don't. With an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, the procedure for flashing all ROMs is the same.

Another Problem
Hello, Now I am facing another problem.
The AAHK says that I have to downgrade my radio through flashing PD98IMG.ZIP but my bootloader is not detecting the file.
The effen-manual says that I have to relock my bootloader.
Now I am not sure that currently my bootloader is locked or unlocked? or else should I have to unlock it first through HTCDev and then relock it?
Please it has been 4 months I am trying to root but I couldnt find a solution.

Ok guys first of all i have to thank trkaaa for his guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21922297&postcount=1
Also have to thank JTNiggle for his guide to get custom recovery after HTCDev Unlock. :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
Also big thanks to the team that created the revolutionary method.
Before we begin im not responsible for anything that goes wrong.You made the choice.
Here is their site: http://revolutionary.io/
I preformed this with a TMOUS Sensation 4g and had a unlocked bootloader with
S-on. Im not sure about other regions
To kick things off if you did the HTCDev unlock method then you probably
have hboot 1.80.0000(or at least i did) with S-on. If so then proceed
1. First get this rom and flash if you dont know how to flash with HTCdev method
then follow JTNiggle's guide.
Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201697&highlight=real+stock+experience
2. After flashing that rom boot normally. Now your ready to preform the revolutionary method. Plug in your device and don't forget to get the older
drivers if ur running windows. Older driver can be found here:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
3. Download the required revolutionary files and run revolutionary as administrator. Then fill out the form thing on the website with your device
information and type in the serial number. (Make sure you type it in correctly)
4. After hitting generate key it will provide you with a key and type that correctly into cmd window. Make sure you type it in correctly its case sensitive.
Then let revolutionary do all the work.
5. Caution: Ur device will reboot into the bootloader a couple times dont worry its normal. After that it will ask if you want to flash clockworkmod you can if u want to( i didn't because i personally wanted to flash 4ext recovery).
6. Enjoy folks u now have s-off on ur device
Hope this works for u guys a it did for me
Thanks u all for ur help i wouldnt have been able to do it without u
if at all possible could u hit the thanks i really want this thread to get on the
android development page but u see im a new user so yeah
Message me if u guys have questions i will try my best to help u guys
Also if anyone has tried this method plz feel free to post below ur results
This can be used if you used the HTCDev unlock method and you wanted to flash the
new firmware to get ICS on your sensation. Furthermore im not sure if this is compatible
with the Sensation XE model.
Here is a mirror for the 2.3.3 rom: Dropbox
Thank you so much
great guide

I don't see how this has fixed you phone.
I installed the rom mentioned, now my phone freezes at the boot screen with the HTC Logo. Which is no problem because I will restore my backup. But isn't getting me any closer to getting me S-OFF, as I still have a HBOOT of 1.27.000 which makes it impossible for me to use revolutionary.io
any ideas?
Alright i think i know ur problem i believe its the way u are flashing the rom. You have to put ur phone under usb debugging mode and use the adb tools to flash the rom. Meaning you cant directly place the rom on the sd card and hold volume down and power to get to recovery.
Use this way of flashing a rom:

You have Hboot 1.27 which is one of the Hboot versions thaot comes with a official ICS upgrade. For you to achieve S-off you will have to use Joupunutbear S-off not Revolutionary. You can not downgrade your Hboot version while you are S-on. Go check out this guide and this tool as I think they both will help you, but I recommend using the tool to do the S-off. There is another guide you can use too but it requires you to use HTC Dev unlock first, so I do not recommend it.

Sorry but what you suggested will not work for them unless they are able to flash a unlocked Hboot from here, the instructions to flash ot is also there as well. But still the main problem is they dan not downgrade their Hboot so this would be useless to tem as far as tring to gain S-off.
Thanks a lot im sry im new to this stuff but u deserve a thanks and im glad u helped

if you can get into fastboot you can relock the bootloader and should be able to ruu, also belongs in General, not development

You didn't read OPs on roms. You're using the wrong firmware. Lock your phone. Flash ruu as already stated. And yes wrong section but I would think this should Q&A

You can root your device without downgrading. Unlock your bootloader on htcdev.com, install a custom recovery (over fastboot), flash supersu or superuser in recovery.
If you want to downgrade, you'll have to unlock on htcdev.com, root your phone like above, then use misc_version to change the version reported by your phone, relock the bootloader and run the older RUU.

It is actually.. It shows you how to flash ROMs with s-on, and they will give you root.. You can also just flash superuser from recovery and you will be rooted
So in short, you don't need s-off for root

You mean the boot.img that's in the kernel right?

The guys DO say in the rom topic I have to load their radio img...
cleared cache + dalvik, still no wifi

s-off by Juopunutbear does not support windows 7 ?
So, any tips on getting S-off now ?
or does a kernel include a good radio rom?
If yes, should I just install Sultan Kernel?

Do I need to unlock my bootloader again to be able to fastboot flash? If yes, then how do I do this?

well, the good news is, I have full "control" over my phone now.
The bad news is, I still can't get wifi to work, I'm trying with 3 different roms and like 6 different kernels. I had it working with darksense and one of their included kernels, can't remember which one anymore though. I'm trying to recreate that same situation again, I'll keep you informed of my "accomplishements"
I do have a question though, what EXACTLY controls my wifi? Is it the Radio ? (radio.img) or maybe Boot? (boot.img)
GETril doesnt run properly on my device, so that's no help yet.

I get the same error... the Phone with a red exclamation mark with a triangle around it.. Is it because I'm rooted. I just searched and it might be it..
Should I follow the guide on theunlockr.com / 2014 / 03 / 18 / unroot-htc-one-mini /
So.. Should I only lock the bootloader or completely unroot it?
I'll try with only locking the bootloader in a sec..
Ok, here's what happens when I use fastboot oem lock : snag.gy / CnD59.jpg .. The bootloader shows as "RELOCKED", which is good.. but I still fail to install the update.. But regarding the un-rooting process, on theunlockr what is posted the .exe is US.. I'm from Bulgaria, which is Europe.. and if I download a UK version of the .exe will it still work ?
Edit.. will a tool like Revolutionary work? I saw it just sets the phone to S-OFF

I know that you can't get OTA with unlocked bootloader and rooted, and I don't think you can do it with a re-locked bootloader either.
OTA also failed for me with a "locked" bootloader, where i used revone to set the bootloader to Locked rather than Relocked.
The only way i've gotten OTA to install was to run the Att Ruu.exe to restore to stock. If i run update immediately after that, it works. If i do other things, like unlock, root, etc, the oTA fails, just the same as yours is failing.
If you want sense 6, the easiest way, from where you are now, would be to flash twrp 2.7.1.1 recovery, then install the stock sense 6 rom in the development section. If you're not on the latest firmware (hboot 2.22) then the path is a little longer, as you will have to s-off, then update firmware, then flash sense 6 rom.

Ok, thanks for the info.. I don't know how to find my firmware.. It doesn't show up on the About phone menu.. I've gone to the bootloader and it isn't there as well.. if it's the hboot, my hboot is 2.21.0000, meaning it isn't 2.22.. ;/
Also.. can you tell me what *** TAMPERED *** means in the bootloader? Right above *** RELOCKED ***.
And what is the 'Att Ruu.exe'? I don't mind having no root, no unlocked bootloader, etc.. I want the pure HTC experience again..
Edit: I saw that 'Att Ruu.exe' stands for the AT&T model.. the thing is that mine isn't AT&T.. mine is international, I think.. doesn't have any other branding or whatsoever..

Hboot was what i was referring to when i said firmware. Sorry, but i don't have any experience with 2.21 so i don't know what ROMs you can flash with it. If i had to guess, i would think one of the older sense 5.5 roms in the dev section would work on it, but i've never been on 2.21, so i can't tell you which ones with any confidence. I don't think any of the sense 6 Roms will work for you, but, again, i don't know for sure as i've never been on 2.21.
Tampered i think comes up when you use custom recovery. I don't know exactly what triggers it, but i don't think just flashing custom recovery does. I think it might happen when you use custom recovery to flash a ROM. It's just a flag and nothing to worry about. It doesn't prevent you from doing anything.
RUUs are executable files that can restore your device to stock. They are carrier and location specific, so you need to make sure you use the one for your carrier and location, if it is available. I said ATT RUU becuase I'm on ATT in the US. RUU files aren't available for every carrier in every country. If you are in the US on Att, i can help you with this. If you are somewhere else or on a different carrier, i can't.

Oh, that's a shame ;//
First - is there a way I can update to 2.22 ? ;/
Second - I mentioned earlier I'm from Bulgaria, which is in Europe. Isn't there an international RUU ? ;(
I've unlocked my bootloader again as I think found a way to make the phone S-OFF.. I just have to root my phone again as it's not rooted -__- I don't want a custom ROM download, I want the stock one with no modifications or anything else.. ;/

Sorry. I missed where you said your location.
To upgrade your firmware, you have to s-off. There's a post somewhere around here that walks you through using revone, which I've done and had success with. I think I linked to it yesterday, so look through my old posts. If you can't find it, I'll send the link later.
But, yes, you have to be rooted to s-off.
I don't know about ruu for Bulgaria. Try looking on the HTC website, or your carrier's website.
The stock roms in the dev section seem to be pretty much 100% stock. I'm not a developer, so I don't know that they are for sure, but I think they are created directly from stock, just modified so you can flash then in recovery.

I tried revone about a hundred times with no success.. I just can't get it to work. I get an error 'Segmentation fault (core dumped)' and that's it -__- I tried googling but with no success.. I'm now trying rumrunner but as I look at the command prompt, it most likely won't succeed as well ;/ Yep.. it failed, said ERROR: looks like device is not rooted AND lacks an unsecure kernel. su or FU!!
!
I'm rooted and with unlocked bootloader, installed CWM as well
Edit:
So I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-official-stock-sense-6-rom-firmware-t2817921 .. I'm gonna try it out now, it's the same as my update, so yeah..

I got both of those errors and they were because i really wasn't rooted even though i thought i was.

Yeah, I understood that the hard way.. Tried so many things, nothing worked.. just threw my phone (on a soft place, but still) and won't deal with anything 'til tomorrow.. I'm just so pissed at the moment. The root that should work and has worked before doesn't work now.. I really don't know what's wrong -__- gonna do everything all over again and try to get S-OFF and attempt to fix OTA updates.. ;/

Sorry. I've been there before. If i have time, i'll re-set my phone back to factory, s-on and see if i can remember what i did to fix that error. One possibility was that i didn't have a ROM installed, but i don't remember for sure. I'll see if I made any notes let you know if I remember what i did to fix.

What's your exact status:
Unlocked or Relocked?
Tampered?
Which recovery?
Version?
Is there an OS installed or did you wipe?
