Hi, noob rooter here, having a bit of trouble understanding how to s-off my phone. So far I followed a guide to unlock and root and install vipers 1.6.3 with s-on but I want to install the new vipers jellybean Rom do I need to s-off to install this Rom or can I do it without?
Any help appreciated!!

you can install it with S-ON too
just enable smartflash from 4ext before flashing
Thanks for replies, that guide is for hboot 1.27 I'm on 1.29 will that matter?
So I could use 4ext to flash the jellybean rom with s-on?

No. It doesn't matter it's for Sensation generally.
And yes you can as long as enabled smart flash

Also another question, if anyone can ask....what exactly is the difference with s-off and s-on and if I just want to install new roms is there any limitations to what roms I can put on with s-on?

Hi all,
I just debranded my tmobile HTC sensation using the guide in the development section... Used recovery 5.0.8 (cant remember exactly) all good... Used sensation stock Rom 1.73 and really pleased with it..
Just got a question that when I first put the recovery on, the boot loader screen heading was **RECOVERY** in pink with white writing (never seen this before in any mods I had done) but then after applying the RUU 1.73 it now reads **LOCKED**.
This heading is right on the top of the bootloader screen just above:
Pyramid Pvt Ship S-Off RL.
I was also reading another thread on the development section about applying a stock recovery... Shall do that?
Please advise...
Cheers

If you run a RUU it takes your phone back to stock... EVERYTHING stock, so you loose root and s-off etc.. you need to run through the guide again as if you just bought the phone and want to S-OFF it
I didnt exactly run the RUU, it wouldnt let me.. had to extract the img.zip from it and update the firmware that way..
I have attached the pic, please advise what should I do.. it the ***locked*** in pink
Guys... Any thoughts???

Hi,
Perhaps running Revolutionary again,will revert your phone back to unlocked.
Check the s-off guide in my sig.
I update to Hong Kong firmware 1.52.708.3. Then, I can't use the revolutionary to S-Off and root. It showed a message "Failed to get root".
How can I do? Thank you so much

Try to downgrade to older asia ruu and use revolution again. If you want the latest just use dxsia you can cook the latest ruu into a Rom.

I haven't get s-off, can I downgrade?
Can you give me some guide about the downgrade process?

To go back from ics to gb stock, do you need to change anything to run the .ruu like cid etc? I have only changed it to s-off

Try it but I'm pretty sure you need Super CID to do it

It's worth to change CID on SuperCID. You don't have to run run the ruu. Just flash a HBOOT You can just flash a HBOOT 1.23 which works on GB and ICS. Then later if You would like, You can change on 1.27 HBOOT which includes newer radio version.

i assume that it is your battery that causes that.check if it loses the contact
otherwise as you are S-OFF try to reflash your current fw
I've refreshed my ruu and Roms and I saw a.clip on YouTube bout keep restarting and they said put abit of card between the bk of the bat so it pushes it, done that and still happening, cud it be nothing to do with the wire trick I did

i suppose you know what is your fw version
the only thing you have to do is rename the zip file as PG58IMG.zip,place it in the root of the sd card,then reboot your device into bootloader and just follow the onscreen instructions

Once your rooted and soff with custom Rom the reboots should stop. I had the same exact problem. When I was running stock I was getting constant reboots. It seemed like when ever I did a task it rebooted. Once I rooted s off and I installed my custom roms the rebooting stopped never to return again. I still am unsure what was causing the rebooting . I'm just happy its gone. I've been rooted now about a year and no problems! I love it! I don't regret it for a second. It's well worth the effort! Best wishes

While the rom may be original, the recovery might not. They are different operating systems sitting on different partitions.
Flashing an RUU would revert also to stock recovery.

The release number that shows up on the failed installation is 281163. And the assert failed in the patch check is teeter. I un-installed this apk so is this another reason for the failed update?

You should find out what CID you have, and than download correct ruu. Or if you are s-off flash supercid 11111111 and then you can install any ruu. You have instructions on how to do it on "sensation ruu guide "thread. Hope it helps
