[Q] HBOOT Locked but still able to root?

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 expand...
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

[Q] Need help my Htc desire S wouldn´t boot

Hello guys,
I have a big problem!!!! I hope you can help me!!!
I flashed my HTC Desire S (model S510e) a few weeks ago... it works wirly good
then the new Htc Sense 3.0 withe Gingerbread 2.3.5 released.
I want to flash it but I need an S-ON Hboot so I take it to S-On again.
But the problem is that I have installed an Custem rom from VirtousUnity 2.39
and now the Hboot told me *** Security Warning*** **** what should I do now?
I have it downgraded from hboot 0.98.0002 to 0.98.0000 to get S-On again.
And then I would flash the new RUU from HTC.. Now I could only boot into the bootloader and
when I want to install the RUU with the HTC utillity it told me error 140...
It was an Htc Desire with T-Mobile branding From Germany I´ve debranded it and installed VirtousUnity
with 4EXT Recovery...

You badly needed a GoldCard. I would suggest to RUU first to the latest version, 2.xx then downgrade if need be. You have already downgraded your HBOOT. The only thing your missing is RUU. But RUU is giving you an error. Now you need a GoldCard.
A lot of guides, steps, and tutorials are found on the forum. No need to place it here.

Yes I know that I need an GoldCard and I also had the cid but it won´t work ... -.- thats the problem

There are a lot of threads on how to make a GoldCard even without a phone. Check also my sig as thats the method I use. Use search for others.
No GoldCard = phone un-usable.

See index for gold card thread, see sig for link
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium

Non of the suggested methods will get the CID, cause they rely on the phone being booted or adb, since the phone is booting into fastboot and no custom recovery means no adb.

same problem here ...

Cheers mate, Just found it :/

Man, these capcha's are SO annoying. WHy the hell on every post someone does? It's just annoying!
ANyways, Back on topic, I'm trying download HTCDEV for 'all other supported phones' from here:
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
The problem is, It doesnt download. ANd when i change it to another option it still does sweet FA.
Is there anywhere else download this, Specificully, the all other phones option?
THanks for help and heres to the next annoying captcha
EDIT: A reboot sorted that problem out. Weird, but fixed

Well, I followed this guide:

Its gone from locked to unlocked but isnt it meant to say S-OFF, not S-ON?
THe main problem though is i've loaded REAPER 2.2 Mod with the 2.21 upgrade but it seems to get stuck on a boot loop while booting up
Any idea's?
SOrry for noob questions, I've never done this myself as i got a friend to do it before. ANd thanks for the help

Dude, you have just unlocked the boot loader.
HTC dev unlock process will not give you S-off, also can cause some warranty issues (don't be disheartened)
Now you need to download a custom recovery and flash it via fastboot.
I would recommend 4ext touch.
Then flash any custom ROM. The guide should have all the details.

I've done that, i used 4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip and thats ok. I cleared caches, Changed from 3EXT to 4EXT and then installed REAPER 2.2 then used update 2.2.1 over the top.
So i have 4EXT Recovery installed! I installed the ROM (off SDCARD) with this program and when i reboot it goes into a Boot Loop graphic and stays there.
4EXT Recovery Touch is just a touchscreen version of the one i used no?

Have you tried this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919

Thank you.With that guide I downgraded my hboot by installing RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed and revolutionary S-OFF.Flashed recorvery 4ext touch 1.0.0.6 RC1 and flashed Unofficial "Nightly" CM11.0 [20140228] by devil-kin and everything works.No FC com.android.phone.I can select 2G or 3G without problem.I will try tomorrow to change hboot to 7.00.1002 and radio to 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110 but for now CM11 works without problems.
Update: After reboot got FC com.android.phone.Switched to 3G and reboot and works good.Tomorrow will try new hboot and radio.

Success in flashing new hboot and radio.Having some issues with CM11 so I restored CM10.2.

Hi, in your signature not details, please tell me how i can downgrade HBOOT
I tried htcdev but my rom version is 2.10.401.8 and not listed on there

Is it now possible to S-OFF a Desire S since the revolutionary site is no longer active ? I can unlock the bootloader via HTCDEV but I'd like to get S-OFF if possible ?

Maybe a slightly naive question......but I obviously need to downgrade my HBOOT to achieve S-OFF on the phone via the Rev method.
Can I restore my HBOOT version back to 2.00.0002 without running another RUU through it or is there another method.
My MIUI ROM works OK under 2.00.0002 should expect problems if it it runs under an earlier version ?

[Q] How to reset phone to stock COMPLETLEY?

Hello, I've had an HTC Sensation for about 1 year now, and I would like to sell it (on ebay) with everything stock.
Currently the phone is running an early build of CyanogenMod 10 pyramid (Android version 4.1.2.)
I have also made the phone S-Off with the JuopunutBear method.
Info about bootloader:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT - 1.27.1111
RADIO - 11.23.3504.07_M2
OpenADSP - v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC - boot
One more note, I have also installed a custom recovery, ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.9 and it is a touch recovery.
Again, I would like to S-Off the phone, install the original recovery (if possible) and the latest stock ROM.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ok, so I have the TMOUS version and I'm trying to download to be able to S-OFF since it seems as if whenever I try to SuperCID, the CID seems to be patched. It always changes back to TMOUS-###
I'm wondering if there was an RUU out there for this where I won't get the 155 error.
- Plese, and Thank You.

I can't change the CID at all. I was unlocked when I did it. Unlocked, Custom Recovery, and kernel, but everytime I changed TMOU-### to 11111111 and pushed it to the phone, it would change right back to TMOU-###. I was in the IRC when this happened and a guy named Jcase pointed out to me that it might be patched. I made sure the file was changed before pushing it to the phone, but no luck.
So now, when I tried to go back to full stock flashing the Boot.img&Recovery.img from the RUU, then running it, it would just give me Error 155(Wrong RUU).

It's been reported that if you have the T-Mobile JB update installed, it's not possible to get superCID anymore, which means you can't get S-OFF. You may have to wait for a new exploit.

Hey the RUU is out now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279588
