Unroot - Desire S

Welcome.
There are few similar posts but any of them match this case.
Pretty simple, I did install a root, now i want to unroot my phone.
I though that apps can be added only by a root action. lol
Now i cannot update my phone prop.
Here i post some informations.
Desire S was:
on HBoot ver. 0.98.0000 // S-ON
T Mobile
Now is:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-38.03.02.11_M
__
Shoul I flash any of official ROMs ?
Is there any T-Mobile's ROM that will be able to update to the newest?
How can i make a backup to restore all of my messages, pictures, etc?
Thanks for posts.

Such a great advice! Thanks!
One more question, will it keep my operator safe?
It's T-Mobile by the way.

the guide says not to use this if you have a network branded device,so i dont think you can do it
but im curious why do you want to be s-on?

Its not about S-ON correctly. Its about beeing able to update software by 'oryginal' way. After I did root my phone I cannot do this anymore.
There was an update that showed me an exclamation mark in yellow triangle with droid's logo. I guess that was an error, wasn't it?

Thanks for your reply. My phone is S-OFF, Rooted and I'm running a custom firmware... Actually I just want to get rid of that Three screen

what custom firmware are you using?

This one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220672

right. ive got a new boot animation for you.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12564111/Bootanim/Stock_White_Bootaniamtion.zip
download this and install via recovery
after that you should be back to official htc boot screens

Thanks but the screen that I'm talking about is shown before the Boot animation... Looks like it's in my bootloader, not in the Android image...

hmm, in that case i would suggest flashing a new bootloader, preferably the 1 i am using.
look in the sticky at the top on android development section and there are guides in there of how to do this

The information on my Recovery is this:
SAVA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-3822.09.08.20_M

You don't need anything as major as a new boot loader what you need is simply a new splash screen, which you can flash from HBOOT.
I followed the information within this thread to change mine, however this gives you the method to create your own with your own image.
EDIT: You would have found that post with a little more researching and had you just searched the forum for "splash" . In fact I'd suggest that you do try this as you'll see more examples of other pre-made splash screens.

Thanks ben_pyett, I now have a nice green HTC splash

[Q] Revolutionary S-OFF Hboot 1.18.0000 not supported

hi there, I have a problem with my Sensation XE.
I am trying to S-OFF my Sensation but running Revolutionary.io it always says that my device was found but also that Hboot 1.18.0000 is not supported at this time. it is very strange because i can select this Hboot on their website when acquiring Beta key and I read that they have been supporting this Hboot for months now.
Device: Sensation XE
Hboot: 1.18.0000
Android : 2.3.4
Rom: 1.73.720.2
your help is much appreciated, i spent hours to try to fix it up, but no luck.

Did you installed the drivers? Deinstall all programs from your PC that communicate with your phone (htc sync, mobile phone explorer, etc...)

thanks for your reply, done that, but still it doesn't work..

I used recovery for my 1.18.0000 sensation no problems. After I was rooted I was a 1.17.xxxx. Make sure you have the latest version of recovery mod with all updates. Happy Flashing

I have that Hboot version too but on my HTC ONE V can i also S-OFF my phone?

According to the list of supported phones, no (at least not with revolutionary). Why don't you check in the One V section?

Hi,
Your ROM version is too high.
Because you have an XE phone,you need a RUU with a ROM version of 1.50 or less.
Contact FOOTBALL
He may be able to help.
If you cannot get your ROM version down,you will have to use the "Wire Trick".

Updating Rooted phone

I recently purchased a rooted HTC One X, the phone is currently running 4.2.2 Liquid Smooth and hasn't been updated in probably a year. Do I need to update TWRP recovery first then install whatever rom I want to use?

Here's pictures of the current bootloader and TWRP version.

You have some work to do. First thing you need to do is get s-off, try the Facepalm S-off method. Then you'll need to update your firmware, go to the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature for download and instructions. Then you need to flash the latest TWRP, you'll find that here.

So I've gone ahead and followed all of your steps, have s-off, updated firmware and an updated version of TWRP. Is it safe to say I'm good to go and can flash the rom of my choice?

Yes, your phone is now able to run any current ROM.

[Q] "Three" / "3" UK One S (Ville, S4) - HBOOT 2.13 - Looking for answers

[Q] "Three" / "3" UK One S (Ville, S4) - HBOOT 2.13 - Looking for answers
Guys. Basically I am looking for many answers
This is what I had coule of days ago and I was trying to find the correct RUU for my Htc One S (S4) / aka Ville.

Today I have ended with:
And just to clarify and make a small summary.
I don't know what is mine version-main.
H-Boot is the 2.13 version
Baseband is 1.11.50.05.28
I was able to unlock the bootloader with unlock.code
I was able to install TWRM Recovery (currently I have v 2.6.0.0.)
I was able to install su (superuser) priviliges
I don't know exactly how - but rumrunner has made the job (after 2 days of a fight with it) and I have S-OFF
And also - I was able to use revona to remove TAMPERED info (thank you for that)
Yesterday I had CID: H3G__001 (H3G_01)
I was able to change the CID to 11111111 with fastboot as I have found on xda (yupi!).
And ok.. now let's slow down.
I am almost 30 years old, I have degree in IT but I am not a big a phone geek (ok.. maybe a little when I was flashing Samsung i-780 with Windows Mobile 6.5).
To understand what people are talking about in threads regarding One S - I had to spend a lot of time, reading, reading and reading.
So please - do not use so many shortcuts or slang words in replies - I will get lost really easily.
I have now couple of questions and please correct me if I am wrong.
I should be able to install any RUU I want, because I have S-OFF and CID 11111111?
(sorry for such a question but wherever I will check with question: which RUU I can use to recover my phone from a disaster - I am getting some different misconfusing answers)
If I would like to update HBOOT - what precautions I should take and should I update the HBOOT?
I believe that updating HBOOT to at least 2.15 will provide me ability to install Android 4.4.1? (currently I am on Android 4.3.1 CyanogenMod 10.2.0-ville) - is that correct?
And final thing - I have read a lot removing this bloody red information from the booting screen saying:
This build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of htc
But I am lost. I have a list of files which can be used to remove it - but none of them is matching my model ID (all files are for modelid: 0P3P51000 when I do have PJ4010000)
Is this relevant?
I am hoping to hear from you guys!
If there will be a chance that I can help anyway (because of my different phone details - I am happy to help)
