You have to find an RUU that updates the SPL. But then, i think, that the phone validates the SPL. The ENG_SPL wont pass security unless you know how to crack it.... Or make the ENG_SPL valid!

the first one qustion:
so...u mean evan if i replace the ENG_SPL
but it will not pass the security checking?
then the second question:
i replace the ENG_SPL
but the RUU will think it is "original" SPL?

Even if you raplace it, it wont pass security check because it has to be signed.

Although the thread mentions Revolutionary, here are the step and instructions you are looking for. They will also worked when you unlock the HTC bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122694

I followed the guide but I get
FAILED (remote not allowed) after flashing the img file.
I am S-OFF on xtc clip and hboot 0.98.0002

After s-off with xtc clip use SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse.zip to root your phone (you will need adb drivers) ,then install Clockworkmod from android market .... afther that put .zip of your castum ROM on sd card... but Clockworkmod (vol down + Power ,choose recovery ) ....

Hi, superoneclick does not work.
Freezes.
I am on 2.3.3 GB maybe thats the problem?

Do you check adb drivers ,and connection with pc ???
Send me a screenshot

You can also use this it will root the phone for you

Ok, worked !!
The phone was in fastboot, must be in normal USB mode and then start the superclick .exe on the PC.
Phone is now rooted and superuser acces.
Now upgrade to 2.3.5 sense 3.0 Gingerbread.
First i will install 4EXT recovery + make nandroid back-up !

I assume that you know to not update OTA - you will loose the root this way and have a bootloop - see here Flash a prerooted ROM

Good you told me , almost forgot !!!!
Looking for a prerooted ROM close to 2.3.5 sense 3.0 GB.
Can you advise one ?
Leave hboot at 0.98.0002 or go to new ENGboot ?
grts

I would just leave the hboot alone. As for a ROM look around the development section, see what you like. They're all pretty stable.

Try this one

Would recommend that you put 98.2 ENG bootloader on, safer for future

[Q] Can't flash RUU and get back to stock Rom

Hi,
I tried to flash RUU rom into my phone (DESIRE S).
I followed the instruction in the "How to S-ON the HTC Desire S, Unroot, remove Revolutionary and Clockwork Mod recovery" thread.
Apparently I tried to flash wrong RUU.
The flashing stopped in the middle and I get error massage that the version not matches my phone.
However my HBOOT change to version 2.00.0002 and he's locked and S-ON.
I unlock my phone with HTC tool HTCDEV. I flash CWM recovery and restored the previous ROM.
I tried to flash deferent RUU, this time I check my phone (from India) and find the right version, but I get another error massage.
RUU I tried to flash:
RUU_Saga_S_hTC_Asia_India_2.15.720.3_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_226809_signed.exe
I think my HBOOT is the problem.
My HBOOT:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 2.00.0002
RADIO-382.10.08.04_M
Emmc-boot
Aug 22 2011,15:22:13
Which HBOOT image I need to flash, to flashing the RUU?
Thanks!

Before flashing another RUU, use misc_version script to "downgrade" your phone's main version.
It needs root.

can't get ROOT
Thanks for your answer
I solved this problem before I see your answer – I relock my HBOOT and run RUU exe file.
But now I have other problem:
I can't ROOT my phone
I tried 3 deferent methods:
[EXPLOIT] [26.04.2011][v1.2] GingerBreak APK (root for GingerBread)
[EXPLOIT]SuperOneClick v2.1.1 (Finally fixed!)
[EXPLOIT] Revolutionary - zergRush local root 2.2/2.3 | revolutionary root exploit
superOneClick – stuck in step 7 "WaitForDevice"
How can I get ROOT?
Thanks!

Downgrade or unlock the bootloader. The guides for both of those are in big INDEX thread.

u dnt need to downgrade
just unlock with ur unlock.bin code
then root with SuperOneClick
am sure of this steps cos am on stock and dat was d process i uesed
cheers

I know that for many people on XDA, English isn't their first language - but most of them try or use Google translate. This is either a prime example of the good 1st World education system or just someone who thinks they are going to sound cool.

[Q] zergRush error when trying to downgrade hboot 2.0.2.002

I have unlocked the phone using htcdev and it is hboot 2.02.002 s-on. I am trying to downgrade to 0.98.. using the zergRush method mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331
I can't get this to work and have seemed to have tried everything. When i try to run zergRush I get the following error
"link_image[1913]: 3985 missing essential tablesCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE"
here is a screen grab of me completing the steps from that thread:

Does anyone know what is causing this error? and what should I do to resolve it?
I have been trying to work this out for days now. My aim is to s-off the phone, root it and flash pacman rom onto it.
Any help is very much appreciated before I finally go mental

Zergrush doesn't work with ICS.
According to what I've seen posted here, your only option to get root on ICS is to unlock your bootloader via htcdev -- unless you can find another exploit that works
Edit: wait a second, you already unlocked the bootloader. Then all you need to do is flash a custom recovery and from there you can run misc_version to allow you to downgrade your hboot. Then you can run an old RUU that has hboot 0.98 and then you can use revolutionary. You don't need temproot, you already have fastboot access!

I have TWRP recovery set up and have just tried misc_version and got the following:
--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.27.405.6
Patching and backing up partition 17...
Error opening input file.
image attached again thanks for help
UPDATE: I tried going into adb shell and changing to su then misc_version (see newer screen shot) what do I do now? I have an older ruu...

Created the goldcard again and it sorted the problem I was having with the version number not being correct!
Feel a bit like Andy Murray right now
Thanks for the help

I finally did the ruu today, and got back to stock, I checked to see if I am still rooted or not, using a root checker app, I am not rooted anymore
So now im trying to get s-on back
I used this forum right herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671396&highlight=htc+one+s
I think I have to re-root my device now to use ADB shell command to procede with getting s-on back? I am correct?

Nope, just go into bootloader
plug in your phone <fastboot USB>
from your fastboot folder press shift and right click <open command window here>
type
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
that's it.
in this tutorial it shows how to download and put the fastboot files on your pc.
