Hi everyone
I just got this inspire 4g from AT&T yesterday and I rooted it and tired to install a custom rom but it always freeze in HTC screen after I install custom roms, so I get back to sock rom witch i made a backup before, I searched more I found that i have to S-Off it the Hboot screen shows this informations :
*** UNLOCKED ***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 2.00.0030
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.17.14.11_M
eMMC-BOOT
I wanna s-off it but I am afraid to make something stupid and I found that i must downgrade something so I am confused, so if anyone can help me out it will be great.
thanks
PS: just one more question the inspire 4g sound is too weak, is it normal?
You don't need S-Off to flash ROMs. With S-On, you need to fastboot flash the boot.img from inside the ROM zip.

So i unzip the rom zip and take the boot.img and flash it after or before the rom?

After. Flash the ROM in recovery, then flash the boot.img in fastboot.

Does the boot.img need to be in a zip folder? If the answer is yes, then does that folder need to have a specific name?
I'm stuck on the HTC splash screen and been looking at this so much that I'm crosseyed now. I have been to umpteengillion forums (actually the same ones over and over that my searches take me to) I'm been trying to read and do this on my own. I feel like I most likely need help now.
Any help is apperciated

No and no. But you need to be in that folder when you run fastboot.

I'm trying to get sim unlock. I'm using the AAHK, but it keeps giving me the device offline error. I'm not sure what I'm doing. I have unlocked boot loader, I have debugging enabled, and the phone is on charge only. Any thoughts on this?

Understandable. I thought about using mini-adb. I'm not sure what the best option is. I'm still reading and doing research on getting the s-off. Any feedback u might have is appreciated, as always. :good:

There's a manual S-Off method available on attn1's AAHK website. It explains how to do what AAHK used to do automatically, manually.

What exactly is s-off
Hi all,
I understand that s-on means that when you flash a rom, you also have to flash the kernel manually from fastboot, but I wanted to know what exactly is s-off/s-on. From my reading and googling it seems like it's the HTC sync function, how does this impede the flashing of a kernel? I'm interested in the under the hood stuff as well as well so it'd be nice to gain some insight into this.
It is not the HTC Sync function. The HTC Sync application merely installs the adb and fastboot drivers (I mean, it does other stuff too, but that's all that really matters in this context). I think S-On means Security On. Certain partitions can't be flashed from recovery (boot) or at all (radio). S-Off is Security Off. All partitions flashable.

Hi,
You should be OK to just install something like ARHD ROM
It contains root and recovery,which are installed when you flash the ROM...
On the [OP] is also a superwipe which will clean and prepare your phone for the new ROM.
Backup your stuff,place the superwipe and ROM on the root of your sd card and flash from recovery
Thanks for.your response but I'm really not interested in installing Custom Roms at the moment, just Stock Rom for now.
Can you please if u know or have any info on doing the.rooting and Custom Recovery by myself.

Easy enough ..find chainfires supersu thread and at the bottom download the attachment flash it..but before that..put your device in fast boot via USB..flash any recovery like say cwr(cwm) by typing fastboot flash recovery recoverynamehere.img then flash root file on your SD let me know if your confused

I've already downloaded your tool and tried to install 4EXT recovery, but when I restarted to Hboot, it's still stock recovery there. I'm in the same boat as the guy above, with S-off and stock-everything ICS. What should I do now?

Did you download the recovery.img from the attachments?
If you are SOff then either of the 2 methods should work.
Which recovery is that, CWM or 4EXT? Normal or Touch?
Cause I read that 4ext is better for ics

You need either an unlocked bootloader or a ENG bootloader to be able to flash recovery.

Revolutionary is an engineering (ENG) bootloader
Oh ok so ENG stands for Engeneering I thought it stranded for English, sorry but I'm still new to all this Android Terminology.
You know, someone should make a thread with all these android terminology and make it a Sticky.
Thanks for the info.
Btw, do you know since I got my Sm-Off back with GB and now I updated to ICS and I see that my bootloader says S-Off still, am I still good for Custom Recovery and Root?

HOLY CRAP! can this be any more confusing. I've been following this thread waiting for a final answer and still nothing. If anyone gets this done, please do a step by step for those of us not willing to blaze new ground here.
I know there are tons of us in the same boat. Upgraded to ICS stock and wanting to keep the ROM, just open ourselves up to CWM flashing options and root required apps.
Based on what the original poster is going through here, most of us do not want to chase down link after link.
I'll keep watching hoping for a final answer. Make the last post a link to the STEP by STEP.
Thanks all for your patience.
Look, you basically need a bootloader that says *unlocked*, *revolutionary* & *juopunutbear*.
If you are S Off but locked, flash an ENG Hboot.
If you are S On & locked, unlock using HTC Dev or S Off using JB.
Now, after this, flash 4EXT recovery & then root the device.
If your Hboot version is less than 1.27 flash firmware.
I'm assuming you are already on stock, so you have a stock rooted rom with custom recovery.
All of these can be done using my tool.
That's about as much I can help you with.
Also, when you talk about being new, look at when I've joined & when you'll have.
I got my first android phone a month ago & I'm on XDA since less than 3 weeks!

ok i just downloaded your tool from your the link under your signature and is version 6.4.2 and i think i remeber you or someone else suggesting that i needed to install the ENG option which is option 10 but then your tools says that option 10 in intended for devices who have been S-Off using the JB S-Off (juopunutbear or something, the wire trick thingy). so mine as you can see in the first post im S-Off but im still remained Locked from upgrading from 2.3.4 to 4.0.3 but i have never used the JB method, sooooo does option 10 applies to me or NOT?
how do i get the ***LOCKED*** to say something else? do i need a different bootloader or a different hboot or a different recovery or what?
what do i need to get: have in mind that im gonna try using your tool
***LOCKED*** into something else?
Custom Recovery?
Root? SuperSU or Superuser?
etc and everything else needed to have full control of my phone?
also can you tell me with your tool in order to understand you better what would be the steps i have to follow in order to achieve all this? for example: step 1 for S-off, then step 3 for custom rec. ext4, then step 4 root device, etc, etc you know what i mean just for me to follow up without screwing up my device, since im gonna follow ur instructions to the letter.

Too many questions, seems you're confused.
Please head to IRC & find me there. SigPic (REALTIME IRC) has link.
EDIT: To briefly explain, it doesn't matter Revolutionary S Off or Juopunut Bear S Off.
The ENG Hboot is compatible with both.
After this, you can choose to install custom recovery if you want to or, just root right away.
It is always advisable to have custom recovery installed.
Ok this is the pics of the.tool scroolong up all the time

I know there are probably other threads that can help me but I'm really desperate here. I just got my Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) a few days ago and decided to root it and install a custom ROM. This is my first Android device so I followed a newb guide specifically for the Sensation 4G. However, I think I accidentally missed the step describing how to S-Off and I ended up trying to install Cyanogen Mod 9. It installed ok but I got stuck at the boot screen. From there, I tried restoring to a backup I made before installing Cyanogen but it didn't work. Now I'm stuck at the HTC logo. Can anyone help me out? Here are some more details about my device:

I don't have 4ext recovery installed, only CWM. Is there a way to install it even though I can't boot into the phone?
Yeah, just have to flash another recovery (4ext) through fastboot.
If you look around the development section, you'd probably find a guide how to do it, if not PM me, and I'll give you the steps.
Have a look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 Asskicker's guide, how to flash roms with S-ON. If you don't want to flash the 4ext recovery (I highly recommend to install it!) then you can do Step "EXTRA 1" from that guide and install "boot.img" from the downloaded rom. You find it in the zip file, in the kernel folder. But read the guide, there are plenty of very useful info in it! And to answer your question, No! Your phone is not bricked!

I have a bunch of ROMS that I've tried and they're all on my desktop. Only two of them have a kernels folder, so I guess the other two are using a stock kernel and I can't use them, right? I'll try following that thread you linked me to, hopefully it'll work this time.
EDIT: It worked! Thank you so much! Now if I wanted to install Cyanogen Mod 9 for example, which doesn't have that kernels folder, I would need to S-OFF first right?
If you want to install ROM's without being S-OFF I'm pretty sure you need 4EXT.
And for future reference to all who may find this thread down the road, if you can get into your Recovery (any recovery) your phone is almost certainly not bricked. You may have a lot of fixing to do, but it's almost certainly fixable.
When the splash screen doesn't even come up after hitting the power button or the charing light doesn't come on when plugged in...that's when it's time to worry. (And even then you may have options)

I did the wire-trick to S-OFF my device. WHen I first did that, my only option in the bootloader was RUU and I was about to ask you about that but took my battery out first. Now it's back to normal and it shows S-OFF. However, my microSD card is now completely wiped. I have a backup on my computer, so should I just copy the files back on there and try another ROM so that my WiFi will 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.

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.

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.

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.

AAHK is retired and unsupported. Just unlock the bootloader and fastboot flash a recovery. Then flash a ROM from recovery.
I know people really don't like it when questions are asked that they could of solved in like two minutes, But im really sorry guys Ive been doing everything in my power to fix this and I cant. Well when I rooted my Inspire 4g I thought it was rooted so I put TWRP on there and erased my stock (I forgot to save the backup) and installed a ROM, That Didn't start for like an hour so I turned it off and went to bed. I keep on trying things to get my ROM to work and to avail it stops. When I tried it again to install It installed again but when i rebooted I got the HTC Screen then fade to black, I honestly have been trying everything from fastboot, Trying to get programs to work, Trying to flash in RUU Trying to flash PD98IMG and Everything I could look on Google and Think of in my head...Nothing is working. i know you need a S-off to flash roms...but I cant find a way to turn it off because all I can access right now is recovery (Im not on Clockwork). SO I hate to ask...But can you guys help? D: Please, Im sorry, and Thank you.
Heres how my Hboot screen looks like:

You don't need S-Off to flash ROMs. You do need to re-unlock. Then, every time you flash a ROM, you need to fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM zip.

Hi guys please help me.
I tried to flash my fone with this rom. :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438840
I do everything i think. But now my phone didnt start and restarting several times. now i can see boot and enter fastboot,
its unlocked and hboot 2.14.
i try recover and reset and wipe and every thing. please help me get my phone back.
how could i flash from fastboot with usb?
What recovery and version?
S-off or S-on. If S-on, you need to extract boot.img from the ROM package, and flash using fastboot every time you flash a ROM.
And searching would have found this answer, there are hundreds of threads detailing this.

You should not be flashing anything, if you don't even know what recovery you've installed. Boot into recovery, does it say TEAMWIN when recovery starts up? If so, it will say what version number at the top of the menu screen.

I'm not sure what you are saying. Do you mean you flashed the ROM and can boot normally again?
Help me please

So you can't get into recovery at all? My suggestion is to run the 3.18 RUU and leave it stock until you understand what you're doing.

The vague description of what you did either means:
1) You are too lazy to tell us exactly what steps you did. Which makes it hard to help, since we need as much information as possible, or
2) You don't actually remember what you did, which is disturbing. It suggests a poor understanding of what you are doing, and/or trying things in hurry, without keeping track of what you did.
You need to tell us in detail, step by step what you have tried to this point.
You've likely messed up recovery by doing something you shouldn't have. I tend to agree with timmaaa to just return to stock until you have a better understanding of what you are doing.
Thank you
