How on the earth can i have "S OFF''????

Ok as soon as some one reads the title they would be thinking another thread by a noob. I may be a noobb but after having many android devices and installing many custom ROMs its hard act like a noob. But i am really frustrated with the complications that are involved in getting the S OFF on HTC Sensation.
I have gone through all the possible posts on achieving the S OFF but with no luck at all Now can some one please help me here????
Ok now my phone is running Hboot version 1.18 and i have tried the revolutionary method some 10 times and i also looked in to this tool as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668276 but still cant get S OFF. I have few questions for which i have searched all over the web only to find different answers.
Do i need both S OFF and Unlock on the phone to install a custom ROM? And also do i need the S OFF first to do the super CID? Because i thought if i can at least have the super CID i can run a different RUU and have ICS. But again failed to achieve CID it says HTC_038 instead of 11111.
I have read in several places that i need the latest 3.32 firmware to install a ICS ROM. So i am yet to figure out how on the earth can i install the 3.32 firmware.
I have unlocked my phone using HTC Dev website and i have also rooted the phone. I have installed the CWM but not able to flash a custom ROM. So should i have first done the S OFF and then unlock it or can i still S Off on the phone with the boot loader unlocked?
So in case if i have to re lock the device then do the S OFF , can some one give a link to the latest RUU?
Or can some one help me find a way to S OFF???? Thanks for any help.

1.SOFF is pretty simple for you ..don't know what actually caused you the problem as you havent mentioned what error happened when trying SOFF process
now when you said you tried revolutionary you might have zerg root failed error
if thats the case
kgs tool would have solved the issue ...but you are saying that failed too (which normally wont happen)
that says that you tried kgs tool with unlocked bootloader and having cwm recovery also root ..to SOFF which wont work
(the alternative to by pass the zerg root error revolutionary has a prerequisite which is to have everything completely stock )
now ...the question comes how to do SOFF then
kgs tool has already given the solution (YOU read all the guides and searched all over the world ..but forgot to read the second post in the kgs tool guide )
as i am a good man and i feel like helping a blind person ...i'll tell you where
in the second post of the thread you've linked
TIPS sub section - 6th point ..please foolw the post there ..to make SOFF work
now regarding the other questions
1.no way you can flash a firmware unless you are SOFF
2.once you got SOFF via revolutionary ..dont even bother about HTC-dev unlock ...as the bootloader provided by revolutionary after SOFF(engineering-bootloader) ..is much much better than the HTC-DEV unlocked bootloader
3.After SOFF best guide for you to flash ICS rom is this (post #1 and post #2)

Thanks a lot for you quick reply. really appreciated !! I am not a complete blind though well i tried restoring the recovery image back to stock then tried the kgs tool but it again failed. The only thing i had not tried was to do the factory reset after restoring the stock recovery. I extracted the stock recovery.img by running the Indian RUU. But i dont know if it makes any difference if i flash the recovery image attached in that post. Let me try that too Thanks again for taking time to reply !!!

can you please elaborate the error you got when you did SOFF ....screenshot will do too ..if you tell us the exact error you got ..you might get perfect solution
until then it will be shot in the dark
PS: regarding the blind comment ..dont take it seriously ...its meant to be sarcastic thats all

I know what this error is. [ Failed to get root & taco root also fails. Happens on an unlocked bootloader ]
Please come over to the help channel: #helpmenow.
Once there, ping me by typing my name.

ok i also had some issues to S-OFF my sensation with HBoot 1.18
now here what i did to successfully S-OFF the device and root it..
1st Download Tacoroot (as you already told that revolutionary isnt working for you) :- http://db.tt/PxZRO0d1
then switch on your sensation and connect your HTC to your PC in Charger Mode and Enable USB Debugging.. [ Remember to install HTC Drivers ]
now open adb and type the commands [ dont forget to keep the tacoroot.bin file on your adb folder ]
Code:
adb push tacoroot.bin /data/local
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tacoroot.bin
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --setup
The phone will reboot to recovery.
Press Volume Up, Volume Down and Power.
Reboot.
Press the Power button once if the screen remains blank (dark).
Wait for boot.
Run the following command.
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --root
The phone will reboot.
Run Revolutionary and now try to S-OFF your mobile using revolutionary.
Once Revolutionary is successful, reboot.
Run the following command.
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin –undo
now once its done install recovery and continue flashing your rom.

Tacoroot did not work for him. It was something else.
In some phones, tacoroot causes the phone to get stuck on the HTC screen.
The phone can't be temp rooted that way.
This happens usually only in HTC dev unlocked phones that had custom recovery installed and then flashed stock recovery before tacoroot.

PS: anyone who wants to know how to make this work -
Root your phone by installing su.
Modify local.prop to get root prompt by default in shell.

ohh i see , i didn't have that problem but once i was stuck in boot loop after i upgraded the firmware to install ics but it was fixed after i installed a custom ICS rom..

...If your bootloader is unlocked, just flash recovery and flash su. You don't need to go through all that again. That was all to get an unlocked bootloader, which you already have.
Does your bootloader say locked, relocked, or unlocked?

Use twrp 2.3.3.1 nothing higher
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

You need to install the super user zip file or flash a rom in recovery. (31Ken31 is right about the version)
Download recovery and be sure to check the MD5 before flashing. You could have a bad download causing you issues.
If it STILL freezes while loading recovery after flashing recovery that you've verified the MD5 for,
RUU again and then try again. (I've seen that problem before) If you are S-OFF, you don't need to lock your bootloader to RUU.

Flashing superuser is done in recovery like a rom. You need to flash recovery properly before you can do anything. Make sure your download of TWRP is not corrupt. As I said if your download of TWRP is not corrupt(md5 matches) and it's still not booting into recovery, RUU again and then try flashing recovery again. use 2.3.3.1 so you don't need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware to use it.

when tryed to go recovery after install twrp flashed by fastboot

pictures are X
Nevermind, pulled links from properties and checked them. Do what I suggested in my last post.
Remember, if the MD5 of the TWRP you downloaded matches and still doesn't flash, Run the RUU again and then try flashing twrp again. And don't forget to do fastboot erase cache after flashing twrp.
You do not need to relock your bootloader to RUU since you are S-OFF.

If you cannot manage to get TWRP to install you should not even be rooting. That's the most basic part of the entire rooting/flashing process. I already told you RUU and then flash twrp and then fastboot erase cache. Did you RUU?
You really seem to have very little idea what you're doing and if you can't get TWRP to install, you should not even be attempting to root. I am not trying to be mean. I am simply warning you.
No, you cannot flash a rom with fastboot.

[Guide][How-To]How To Root/S-Off/Recovery/&FirmwareUpdate on ATT 3.18

ONLY Works For HTC Evita By AT&T On 3.18..... and I threw this together so people can have all there information on 3.18 in a single thread. I take no credit for the work.... Because I'm not the dev that's made the exploits, or files.
How To Root on the ATT 3.18 firmware for HTC One XL and SuperCID.
- Linux Simplified
- Windows Explained*
DOWNLOAD : ( 3.18 root exploit )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1973170&d=1368918573
Linux Version.
Requirements -
--Adb Environment--
--Knowledge on how to use adb--
--AT&T HTC One XL and linux based computer haha--
As @myusernam3 says
1. just extract zip*
2. run pwn.sh......This automated method*
3. or follow the windows steps on linux ( the adb steps )
Windows Version
Requirements -
--Adb Environment--
--Adb Knowledge--
-- AT&T HTC One XL and windows based computer
1. Open Command Promt and navigate to your Adb folders and make sure the xpwn.tar.gz Is extracted to the main folder of adb...
2. Execute this command
Code:
adb push oneXchopper /data/local/tmp/xpwn
Followed by*
Code:
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
Followed By
Code:
adb push ownage /data/local/tmp/phase1.sh
Next*
Code:
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/xpwn /data/local/tmp/busybox
Next*
Code:
adb shell ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/sed
Next
Code:
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/xpwn"
Next
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Just to clarify, this is a temp root which sets your CID to SuperCID allowing a bootloader unlock via HTCDev. It does NOT install Superuser or anything of that sort.
I'm not responsible for bricks, warranty voiding, etc. and please let me know if this works*
Thanks to Dan Rosenberg for Motochopper, which I modified very slightly for use in this script.
Thanks also to the people who paid the bounty. You guys are awesome and probably just bought me something nice. Not sure what yet
One more thanks to Daft Punk for providing some decent music to listen to while I worked on this. I was up all night to get lucky xD

You might want to mention that the 2.15 firmware is only really necessary/recommended for users wanting to run Android 4.2.2 Sense 5 ROMs. It isn't required for anything else. You might also want to mention that the work isn't your own, and give credit to all the people that actually did the work on these exploits.

Well you can use 2.14 firmware but to fix any issues that come with sense 5 you will need to use Zarboz Kernel... If you update to 2.15 firmware that was made for Sense 5 4.2.2 you won't have any issues... But to upgrade firmware you must be S-Off

What changes from 2.14 to 2.15?

The most significant change is (suspected) to have to do with the radio included in the 2.15 firmware package. The power save function on Sense 5 ROMs cause signal drop and reboot issues for some folks, likely having to do with older radios not playing well with the power save function.

Thanks redpoint! Those are the exact problems that I am experiencing! Time to upgrade!!!!

[Q] How to downgrade from 4.2.2.?

Hi,
I'd like to ask for your help. After an update to Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5.0 on my HTC ONE SV I'd really like to go back to the previous version, I know a lot of people are happy about the update, but I'd really like to go back to the older menus, look etc. I don't mind losing the data.
I'm new over here ... so please bare with me
What info should I provide?
Nina

I can't help you at the moment because I have to get ready for work but for starters you will need to unlock your device, acquire the proper ruu (4.1.2), or if its available on here then a nandroid backup (4.1.2) specific to your device. Then at this point the procedures to take would be based on whether you are S-On or S-off.
Hopefully someone else may chime in on this while I am at work.

We need to know, what version of one sv you have (k2u, k2ul, or other).
And if you are S-off, which hboot...

To unlock your device or in simple terms the bootloader you will need to head over to HTCDEV.com and follow their instructions. If you wish to be S-Off you will need to get rumrunner for your phone and follow its instructions - otherwise you may remain S-On.

Then its quiet easy:
unlock your device at htcdev.com (follow the instruction on that side.
Then you need to flash a custom recovery (i recommend TWRP 2.6.3) with fastboot, and next you flash a 4.1.2 rom with recovery. Now you need to flash the boot.img that was inside your rom zip with fastboot and you are ready to go
All links you need, you will find in my index thread (look at my signature for it).

To flash a custom recovery with fastboot you will need to insure your custom recovery image file is located in the same folder as your fastboot file to keep this next part simple.
Go into your HBoot then select fastboot. Connect device to your pc and in the command window type:
Code:
fastboot devices
This should show that your device is connected. If you see nothing then you will need to resolve that before proceeding. Next , once connection is established type:
Code:
fastboot boot customrecovery.img
You are booting instead of flashing the custom recovery so your stock recovery will be persevered. Each time you reboot your device you will need to follow those steps again to access the custom recovery vice your stock recovery.
If you wish to flash it then:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img
I don't recommend you flashing it yet unless you get a copy of your stock recovery first.

[DISCUSSION][GUIDE][S4] Liberty MAX - Innovation is Here | Flashing Instructions

This is a general discussion thread for Liberty ROM
Please ask any question you may have and I'll try to answer it as best I can.
Somebody asked for instructions on how to install Liberty ROM and New Firmware so here they are:
Installation of leaked firmware (HBOOT 2.16) and Liberty ROM
WARNING - This WILL wipe your SD Card so back up your files before proceeding
Make sure HTC Sync is REMOVED and drivers are installed. Get drivers: Here
Charge your phone to AT LEAST 60% just in case
If you are S-OFF proceed to step 3, if not continue to step 2.
If your phone is from T-Mobile (US & Germany), Telus or Boost Mobile use Moonshine S-OFF
If you have the international model use: Facepalm S-OFF, Firewater S-OFF or Rumrunner S-OFF (Rumrunner is the easiest in my opinion)
Note that people with the T-Mobile, Telus or BM model CAN use Facepalm, Firewater and Rumrunner as well but international users CANNOT use Moonshine
Now use one of these methods to S-OFF (You cannot proceed if you are S-ON)
Now download the new firmware: Here
Extract the file to a convenient location (Like Desktop)
Open the Install Package folder, press the Shift key, Right-Click while holding Shift and select Open Command Window Here
If your phone is on type:
Code:
adb reboot oem-78
and hit enter
If you are in the bootloader, select Fastboot and type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
and hit enter
Now type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
and hit enter
You should get a message like this: "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)". Do not panic just type the command above again.
The green bar on the screen should stop at about 80-90% but do not worry, this is normal.
Now to flash the required recovery type this:
Code:
fastboot flash zip TWRP_2.6.1.0_ville_4.2.2.zip
and hit enter.
Now reboot into the bootloader by typing:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and hit enter.
Once in the bootloader select Recovery
When you are in recovery go to Advanced then ADB Sideload
Now you download the ROM: Here. (Latest release is V3)
Now place LIBERTY-S4-Vx.zip into the Install Package folder (The x represents version number, e.g V4
Now open a new command window by holding Shift and Right-Click at the same time and selecting Open Command Window Here
Next you must type:
Code:
adb sideload LIBERTY-S4-V3.zip
and hit enter.
Make sure the screen is on when the sideload is almost 100% complete as TWRP freezes for some reason.
Now follow the instructions in the installer, make sure you select Wipe Data during installation and Reboot when the installation process is finished.
Finished

Alright, I'll try it again here:
Does this ROM enable Bluetooth 4.0 (LE) on the One S?

If I remember correctly in sense 5.5 you can use blinkfeed to reed RSS news instead of only a few selected sources!!
But I haven't used the rom yet so I'm not sure, someone should confirm
