You can have stock SPL and keep S-OFF. Security off doesn't mean you have tampered with the software and they could not void your warranty because of this. The old updates did not have S-ON; they had S-OFF and most employees of cell phone providers don't even know what this means or what an SPL is.
Extract the rom.zip file from the RUU and rename the file to SAPPIMG.zip. Put the file on an SD card and boot to HBOOT. Should be able to update. There are some tutorials on the forum.
but it doesnt update. hboot doesnt search file called update

Sorry, lol.
If anything, you could just flash a custom BOOT if you can like Amon's and try to flash a custom ROM -- but if you still want S-ON then HBOOT is the way to go if you can not start your phone.
yeah, so i have wrong file. now searching how to extract. really thanks for advices

Don't have the wrong file, just take the same rom.zip file and rename to SAPPIMG.zip.
i dont have an original rozm.zip, extracted file. i took zip with hboot, boot and radio.

Get one by downloading an RUU you want; download an RUU, when setup is running, dig through some folders to get the rom.zip and copy that to your desktop and use that .zip to update your phone.
Ive done this, but hboot doesnt want to update
Can anyone help me, returning to s-off?
I updated to ICS via OTA while already S-OFF. I thought I would able to update recovery again via hboot and nandroid back, but I seem to be stuck.
Any ideas? I double checked and the script shows model id pg5813000.
Help?

nandroid backup wont have recovery (it just has the backup of ROM)..so it wont work
as far as flashing recovery via Pg58IMG.zip file from bootloader
you need to make sure that android-info.txt inside the zip has your cid and mid
if it doesn't match..just edit and replace with yours
to get your cid and mid---fastboot commands
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar mid

I hope you are still on an ENG Hboot, if not, please get user friendly firmware corresponding to your CID and flash it.
Now, I've attached a recovery.img, this is your stock recovery.
Connect fastboot usb
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Then apply OTA.
PS: Being a senior member I assume you don't need more help than that, if you do, please post back

Thanks for your help guys.
I'm not trying to apply ota, I've already done that. I'm already at bone stock ics, and trying to flash clockwork recovery so I can restore a nandroid of cm7, but the new Hboot doesn't like any of the files that used to work fine.
Unfortunately I am not on an engineering Hboot, but I am still S-off. Will fastboot still work?
The phone boots and runs fine, but I might be stuck with no way back to root.
This thread is about the sensation, but I'm using the glacier because it still has cm7 on it.

Mate, just go my tool (link in description), there is a recovery.img for 4EXT in the attachments.
Flash it like I told you. If it fails , you will need to get an ENG boot by flashing appropriate fw.
Hope this helps.

I think you misunderstand. I am not trying to apply the OTA because I have already done that. I am currently stuck at stock rom, with stock recovery, but s-off, and I'm trying to get my custom recovery back so I can restore a cm7 build, or maybe flash cm9.
Right now I'm installing drivers so I can try your fastboot commands.
It worked! I just had the wrong mid/cid in the script. Thanks guys, I'm back in business!

4EXT is a custom recovery. You will be able to restore your NANDROID backup through that recovery.
I don't know how to make this any clearer mate.

The problem was that the hboot wasn't accepting my pg58img.zip. I was using that to try to flash cwm5. I think you were misunderstanding the problem I was having.

Yes, because you need an unlocked Hboot for pg58img to be flashed.. so instead of solving the problem, I gave you a workaround of installing 4ext instead of cwm mate..

I have a locked hboot, but S-OFF prevailed because I had done that before applying the ICS ota update.
The issue wasn't which recovery I was installing, the issue was that my hboot wouldn't accept my pg58img.zip file because I didn't have the correct cid and mid in there. Once I corrected that I was able to flash cwm recovery 5.
Your solution of using fastboot to confirm my mid and cid did help, I just chose to use a different recovery. Does that make more sense?

Why can you not just flash a stock ROM?

I have an arabic rom rooted just want to know how to zip the recovery.img to keep that rom and to be able to OTA my phone,
becouse with stock bootloader i can not flash recovery threw fastboot commands i need to have the recovery in PG58IMG.zip file

Unless you REALLY know what you're doing, do not mess with trying to create your own PM58IMG's. You can brick your phone beyond the possibility of recovery by flashing a bad PM58IMG file.

Ok the zip should have
android-info.txt and what ever contains you want to flash (in this case recovery.img)
Now for android-info.txt.. Extract one from any firmware zips available here
And open it
Add/edit your modelid, cid, and firmware version
All these variables you can get from your phone via this command
fastboot getvar all
(model id, cid, version-main)
That's all

The editing of android-info.txt is not proper it seems
Use notepad+ and edit it again after extracting (you need unicode editor to prevent any spaces at the end)
Edit:
Or better do this
Get the hboot patch at the end of first post in firmware thread by kohr-ah in sensation development section.. Then unzip it.. Delete the hboot and add your recovery.img then rezip it and use it

Hello all,
So finally, I have managed to S-OFF my phone using JuonoputBear (I never get this spelling right!). Downloaded the latest version for Ubuntu and can't believe I only did the wire trick once and it was done.
But anynow, to my surprise, the JB tool went on installing the JB hboot itself. Initially I thought it would ask me to install it or not and I would refuse it but... it didn't even give me the option. So now I am stuck with the JB hboot which I dont want.
So the questions is, is there any way I can revert back to the stock hboot?
Thanks guys, all your help made it possible for me to S-OFF my phone.
Regards
just to know that with patched hboot you are fully unlocked and you can use all fastboot commands
i don't find a reason to return to official hboot

Thanks for the reply. The reason I wanted to go back to stock hboot was that its highly unlikely that I would be using those extra fastboot commands. Besides, I dont like the Juoponutbear logo on top of the hboot.
Also, now that I am S-OFF, I am kind of gone sensitive to installing any ROM. I intend to install Android Revolution HD ROM but I dont want to flash anything wrong on my device like Radio etc. I only want to flash whats need to run that new custom ROM. I guess that doesn't include the kernel as I already have ICS stock ROM.
Can anyone point me to the right direction? Where I can find the steps to install custom ROM without any risk of flashing something wrong?
Thanks.

Hi,
There is no way you can "Accidently" install a radio.
You are not in bootloader for any length of time normally,so ,it should not matter what is written at the top.
That is just the way Juoponutbear operates and leaves it's mark.
It is the only way to s-off for you,so ,you are stuck with it.
Unless you s-on again.
As for flashing ROMS,put it on the root of your sd card,choose zip,install zip.
That's it.
EDIT:
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
If you flash Kohr-Ah's Universal 3.33 firmware,does it say Universal at the top?

Is that all? I thought that once you have flashed the zip package, you have to extract the "boot.img" from that zip package of the ROM and flash it separately?

Sorry I had to come back on this one. I was checking the Android Rev. HD thread and in the download section it said it is necessary to flash new firmware package before flashing this ROM/ And the firmware package also contains radio flashing.
Since I am on Stock ICS at the moment and my firmware is 3.32. Do I still need to flash my firmware?

I'm going to guess you're S-ON. Also, Good thing Telus doesn't make a 3.17 RUU or you'd have a shiny paperweight. You're messing with dangerous things and have no idea what you're doing.
To get a rom to boot, flash it and then extract the boot.img from the rom and
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then S-OFF once you get a rom to boot so you can RUU in the future if you need to
Still stuck in the boot loop at the white htc screen. does it matter the rom? as well when flashing the rom it comes back successful however says there is no md5 file found

the rom should not matter.
Did you check the MD5 after downloading?
There is never an md5 file within the rom so it will always say that. You have to manually check the md5 with an md5 checker.
What rom are you flashing?

It shouldn't matter what order you flash them in, before or after the ROM is fine. Can you elaborate on what you were doing to the phone before all this happened?

exactly the same way as the post says relocking the phone to go back to upgrade the hboot to flash roms that required them.
Ok, but you need to be more specific if you want help, linking to someone else's problem isn't really ideal. I'm gonna have to guess that you relocked the bootloader and ran an RUU? Which RUU exactly did you use? What's the filename?

relocked the phone through fastboot. then tried to run this ruu RUU_Evita_UL_TELUS_WWE_1.91.661.4_Radio_0.18a.32.09.01_2_10.94.32.20L_release_266645_signed.exe to update hboot to 2.14 which is where it is now. however like the other forum my install failed and only got half the update. used the fix in the other forum to get it to at least recovery. where i discovered the my sd card had become corrupted fixed that issue and everything seem to be working in recovery when i went to flash a new rom. attempted to flash new rom and now all i get is a boot loop
Ok, the RUU only partially succeeded? You might need to try running an RUU again in that case, as that's probably what's causing your issues at the moment.

you cannot run that RUU because you're hboot is from 3.17 and that's an older RUU you need to be S-OFF to run an older RUU. You can try running the OTA for 3.17
You will need to download the 3.17 telus ota zip. Extract the recovery.img, copy the 3.17 OTA zip file to the phone, flash the recovery img in fasboot, boot to recovery, it will say cant load sd card, this is normal as it's looking for an external sd card of which there is none. select install from phone storage or install from internal storage. If you pick install from sd card it will error as there is no external sd card. then select the telus ota zip file.
I dont see and recovery.img in the file. there is a boot.img though
