[Q] Revolutionary and XTC Clip

Ok. So I was in such a hurry and very naive to think that Revolutionary will unlock my Desire S by making it S-OFF.
My question is: Will there be any conflict with XTC Clip after the phone had been already S-OFFed using Rev.? Will I be able to unlock it now or do I have to find a way to S-ON it first?

With revolutionary your device should be unlocked, maybe you forgot to root, rooting and s-off got nothing to do with each other, s-off is just needed to gain root
Cause your device is s-off I would recommend you to flash another bootloader and replace the revolutionary one, because there are some problems related to it, but using xtc doesn't make much sense for me, because it would s-off an already s-offed device and the bootloader would still stay the same^^

That's what I was thinking at first, but after searching the forum all I could find was that it can't be software unlocked, but only using xtc clip... I'm glad I don't need to pay extra 20€ for an unlock.
Do you have any suggestion for a bootloader?
My shipped rom was:
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed/0.98.0002

Only the 2.00.0002 bootloader can't be unlocked with revolutionary, if it's not maybe try it one more time or make it with xtc-clip it's 100% save that your device is s-off after that. Check if it's really not s-offed, just shutdown your device, wait till it's really shutdown (wait about 20 secs), then hold vol - and push power till your device starts.
After this you should be in bootloader, if you got s-off it's writen at the top of it and you just have to root it with gingerbreak.apk (just google for it to download ) or flash an custom rom or recovery or bootloader or all of this (take also a look at the index thread within the development section)^^
I would recommend you the the 0.98.2000 bootloader and the 4ext recovery, just look at the development section both got an own thread^^

My Desire S is S-OFF. But I can't downgrade from 6.98.0002 that Revolutionary gave me to 0.98.2000. What should I do about that? Also, gingerbreak just gets stuck on rooting forever. I've checked for both the memory card and usb debuging...

download clockworkmod or 4ext recovery zip, rename it to PG88IMG.zip put it to root of sd go to bootloader and flash it.
Download the zip or the .img from the hboot thread (if it's a zip unpack it) and put the hboot.img to root of your sd
Reboot to recovery
Instal adb at your desktop, plug in your device and run

Yes but it doesn't make much sense with a miui rom.
The new bootloader got a different partition table, the /system/lib is an own partition, but only the new sense roms make advantage of this, at miui it's just wasted space.
I would recommend you the one in my signature.

Sry, there's a typo at the first dd it's mmcblk0p18 not mmbclk0p18
With the second try within adb shell
mount /sdcard
before the dd commands.
That means:
adb devices
adb shell
mount /sdcard
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p18
exit
adb reboot bootloader

still nothing. could you please tell me what mmcblk0p18 is and how do I get it since it says: dd: can't open '/dev/mmcblk0p18': No such file or directory

Try within shell
cat /proc/partitions
Mmcblk0p18 is the partition where your hboot is placed, with the dd command the image file replaces this partition

downgrade HBOOT 2.00.0002 to 0.98.00000 without using HTCDEV unlock

SEEMS TO WORK ONLY WITH VERSIONS THAT GOT THEIR UPDATE BEFORE NOVEMBER (EUROPE SHOULD WORK, ASIA/INDIA I DO NOT KNOW!!!)
IF THERE IS A NEW TEMPROOT EXPLOIT AVAILABLE IT SHOULD WORK FOR NEWER VERSIONS ALSO
okay now more in detail
first you have to know that you will loose all data on your system, please backup bevor doing anything!!
what you will need:
- misc_version http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/wiki/misc_version
this will change your version information on your desire s later
- zergRush https://github.com/revolutionary/zergRush/downloads
this will give you temporary root privilieges (so that you can change the version number)
- phone
- chargecable
- adb-shell (see this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595)
- windows os on your pc
- RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
--> please notice: if you have a branded device, use a branded RUU to downgrade!!
1. Connect your phone to your PC in debug mode (Set option in settings (application --> developer)
2. unzip the downloaded files in a folder (e.g. c:/Users/yourName/Downloads)
3. run the Terminal (Windowsbutton + R --> cmd) and change into the folder where the files are (change folder with 'cd')
4. now type to the terminal (every line is one command!)
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
now type
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp/
./zergRush
--> now adb shell closes and restarts, instead of having a $ you have a # which means root
5. now type
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
--> this will change your version information
6. now you can doubleclick on the privous downloaded RUU and follow the steps. it may tell you from going down from version 2.xx to 1.xx but it is possible.
7. phone reboots and when it is up again you should have android 2.3.3 hboot 0.98.0000 S-ON
8. now just download revolutionary from http://revolutionary.io and create a beta key and start programm

if it was helpful, please use the thanks button!!

(i'm newbie) i don't understand step 3..

This Howto describes how to get down from hboot 2.00.0002 to 0.98.0000
without using htcdev unlock
Requirements:
- misc_version
- zergRush from xda)
- Desire S
- adb-shell (HTC Sync contains it i think)
- RUU from earlier Version 1.28.401.1 RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe - download now for free. File sharing. Software file sharing. Free file hosting. File upload. FileFactory.com
1. connect phone with chargecable, debug mode on, only charge
2. start terminal (Windows+R --> cmd)
cd .. (so on)
go in to the folder where zergRush and misc_version are
3.
type following
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/zergRush
4. when u got from $ to # (which means root) type the following
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
5. your desire s thinks its a version earlier
6. dobleclick the RUU und follow the steps
--ATTENTION YOU LOOSE YOUR DATA -- PLEASE BACKUP!!!
7.phone reboots with hboot 0.98.0000 S-On
8. follow the other steps from revolutionary to get s-off
PS: i tried the other way around and i am successful s-on again! (so no loss of warranty)

Is there anyone else who tried this method?

3 people in german android-hilfe.de forum.
but some seem to have problems when their desire is branded (dont know if the use branded ruu or not)

Hi,
Im reall sorry if im being stupid but what is misc_version?

It is a script that lets u change the Version on your phone. I will look for one

Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

What's the difference between using the misc_version here to "change" your version compared to getting your phones misc version .img from "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p17.img" and then altering it and re uploading it?
To my understanding the one uploaded just patches your misc version where the other one you do it manually.
Or am I so lost I should go home?

should work either. but with the script it is easier, isnt it?

Because its easier for newbies to understand and your way uses more adb
Not that many people understand adb

Thanks, was just wondering.

It is not wise to link a specific RUU, since there are already new versions for all regions (Europe, Asia, etc.) and soon the branded will join also.
However a link to the sticky Stock ROMs thread should be handy

what tool are u using mate? u need to flash a android RUU that is this 1 h t t p ://w w w.filefactory.com/f/c64d333a2755a421/
that will flash the old hboot and you will be able to use alpharevx to get s-off and root mate

I haven´t used a tool yet.
To downgrade to this Hboot version 0.98.0000 i first have to to the cmd thing.
After that i have to use the RUU.

Unmount your SD card from your computer, set connection as "Charge only".
Split the command in 2:
adb shell
/data/local/tmp/zergRush

I found the instructions on a german Forum android-Hilfe. Is there a instructions here on this Forum?? I cant find IT.

Yes it is the right thread to follows, but keep in mind that the ZergRush file linked there is the source code (zergrush.c) and will not work. You need the binary (file named zergrush). If you are rooted you do not need ZergRush to use misc_version. After the ICS update your main software version became 14.01.401.2. To be able to downgrade to lower (for example 1.28.401.1) version you have to change it, otherwise the RUU will not continue. This is what misc_version is used for.
Follow the instructions carefully and you will make it.

Maybe it will be much easier to unlock the bootloader again, flash a custom recovery (it is rooted) and use the adb shell in recovery to push and execute misc_version. Then lock the bootloader and run the RUU

If you have "limited information" it is because you are refusing to read. Everything that you could possibly need is on the forum already. Read the stickies, read the major threads, make sure you understand what you are doing and why. It isn't rocket science - but people will not spoon-feed you the answers all day long as we have far better things to do with our lives.

Maybe it will be much easier to unlock the bootloader again, flash a custom recovery (it is rooted) and use the adb shell in recovery to push and execute misc_version. Then lock the bootloader and run the RUU

[Q] HTC ONE X installing kernel question

Hi I was wondering if I need to supercid if I were to install a kernel like Elemental X because my bootloader is unlocked already via HTCdev and my Cid btw is Roger001. Would I have to supercid it still even if it's unlocked and could I s-off without supercid thank you

That's a bit confusing, are you asking two questions there? You don't need SuperCID to install a kernel. You must have SuperCID to get s-off.

What i'm trying to ask is Do you need SuperCID for flashing the Elemental X Kernal? I have an unlocked bootloader with HTCDev Do I need SuperCID?

No. But you may need to flash the boot.img... what's your hboot?

My hboot is 2.14.0000
evita pvt ship s-on RL
eMMC-boot

You're s-on so you would need to flash the boot.img via fastboot after flashing a ROM or kernel. But, Elemental has an aroma installer so there is no boot.img within the zip. I believe you'd need to get s-off first, it's a good thing to have anyway. You need SuperCID to get s-off so make sure you're SuperCID before even trying the s-off process.

Thanks for the help! It worked

I finished the superCID but when i do the s-off I can't seem to get pass adb shell chmod 744 /data/local/tmp

Do you have developed options enabled and usb debugging enabled? Depending on what ROM you're on you also need to grant root access to adb.

Yes I have developed options and usb debugging enabled i'm on the latest ViperXL rom i tried it again and when i put adb shell chmod 744 /data/local/tmp/soffbin3 it says /system/bin/sh: chmod744: not found

Some people have reported having trouble getting s-off while on the Sense 5 ROMs, so you might need to change ROMs for it to work.
Also, it says the file isn't found, so maybe you entered the command correctly? Or you haven't extracted the zip into the adb/fastboot folder.

I'm sure i typed the command correctly should i flash another rom? or its just sense 5 roms that i would have trouble getting s-off when i fastboot oem boot i got this error at the end

That "too many links" error is completely normal during this process. I'd suggest flashing an older Sense 4 ROM purely to get s-off.
Sent from my Evita

Okay which one do you suggest and is it possible to clean the previous rom? I had the clean rom 7.0 originally then i flashed ViperXL. Since I did that it took up more space right? Would i be able to delete clean rom 7.0 files and flashing a rom with a clean sd card?

I can't really suggest any, it's only a temporary solution so any Sense 4 ROM will do. And no it doesn't take up more space, each new ROM you flash overwrites the previous one. The system isn't stored on the sd partition anyway, it's a completely separate partition. Just make sure you perform full wipes between flashing ROMs (cache/dalvik/factory reset/system).

I did everything you told me I flashed Rebel Rom which is Sense 4 ROM then i ran the commands and im still stuck where i am i got this. i tried chmod 744 over and over again did not work

Is there some text missing from the first command there? I see the end being "/t" even it should be "/temp".
That second section is all over the place too.
