I dont know the answer to your question but it makes alarm bells ring.

its just something that seems good to do ive read somewhere that with s off you can then change the splash1 which is the htc screen before a custom bootloader will appear
official HBOOT 1.01 with S-OFF.
looks great. have u used xtc clip.
i dont know if this splash image works with u.
http://alpharev.nl/
there at the bottom of the page, there are 3 splash screen images for different screen resolutions. dont know how to do that since im on unrootable froyo.
i expect just by having S-OFF, u cannot change the splash screen. u need to have root access and have installed custom recovery.
find it out clearly before going ahead.
Hi there,
I found this link in Ben's signature http://spla****.dokyou.eu/ maybe it might help.

Hey, I actually misled you a bit earlier. You can't do it even with the fastboot tool with just s-off, because though its s-off, the bootloader doesn't support fastboot commands. For that, you need AlphaRev's patched HBOOT.
Oh, and you don't need root/custom recovery. Splash1 has nothing to do with the ROM.

It can be installed as long as you have root. If you want, come on IRC - freenode, channel #alpharev - and ask for the bootloader. You should be able to flash it easily since you have s-off. (You could brick your phone if you do it wrong so be careful)

Which recovery are you using?
I always flash ROMS/Kernels without a PC and i m on hboot 1.50 .....But you still need flash image GUI. It worked fine for me (never broke the recovery). Just dont flash 2.3.3 kernels on 2.3.4 ROM.
I think i should make a guide......but if anything goes wrong you will need a PC.
But till now everything is fine for me.
Do you have the latest version of "flash Image GUI" ? Bc that could mean a great deal when it comes to flashing. I currently have the latest on and never had an issue. I did once before flash w/ v3 and v1 and it did work but did have some glitches ( depending on handset) but I would search the forum if you don't have it and if you can't find it I can upload the latest one for you and then you can go from there... I know it's not much but just trying to help the best way I know how...
You have to do it manually on 1.5
I have an HTC EVO 3D That I purchased yesterday, and It's been flashed to Boost Mobile (A company owned and operated by Sprint) Boost is a CDMA service. I am interested in rooting my device, but when I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218193 I was stopped because my HBOOT isn't supported. Baffled, I went searching the forums and found this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547695 unfortunately, I'm not sure if it's safe to proceed with this procedure, because I wasn't there when my phone was flashed, and I don't know if HTC Dev was used. Furthermore, I don;t know if I have S-On of S-OFF, because I didn't flash my phone. Also, it has come to my understanding that linux is required for that method of HBOOT downgrade. Is there any way I can avoid that? It's kind of a lot of trouble.
You can check if you're s-on or s-off by looking at the top of the hboot screen. Pull the batt, put it back in, hold vol down + power.
If you don't have s-off, the downgrade is easy, linux is easy. After the downgrade you have to use revolutionary.io to achieve s-off and it'll likely screw up your boost flash. I'll edit with a thread link for prepping to downgrade with a carrier flashed phone.

Hboot says I have S-ON. By following the steps in that link you'll give, will I be able to restore my flash without losing MMS and 3G, etc.?
I'm really not sure, I've never flashed a phone. If you don't mind me asking, why do you want s-off? It's nice to have because it makes flashing roms easier but its not required to flash roms, and if your not sure you can flash your phone back, its probably not worth the risk.

Well the whole idea is that i need to downgrade HBOOT in order to root, and I was under the impression that to downgrade Hboot i needed to have S-OFF.
No, you just need to unlock at htcdev. Then you can root, give me a sec and ill give you another link. Once you think you can flash your phone to boost, I suggest getting s-off. Just less issues with s-off flashing.
Edit... A lot of guides out there, check the roll up sticky thread. This one will probably work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821

THank man, i wish i could click thanks a thousand times. I'll try this method and see what i get.
Any time.. btw, you might be able to do the wire trick to get s-off without messing up the flash. It's in the dev section, called something like junoputabear s-off. Ask in that thread, maybe someone will know.

I got root, and recovery but for some reason the fastboot method wher you extrtact the boot.img and use fastboot to load recovery doesn't work for ICS roms, they bootloop. I found a working Gingerbread rom and I like it. Only issue is i wanted an ICS app. Btw, which gapps should I flash for 2.3.4?

From what I remember, if you boot a recovery from fastboot (fastboot boot recovery.img), you wouldn't need to extract any boot image. When you boot a recovery from fastboot, you'll be able to write to the boot partition, so all you need to do is flash the rom and it should work. With that said, I've read a lot of times that flashing ics roms with s-on will cause bootloops. I've never seen that personally, I was s-off before ics came along.
Btw, which gapps should I flash for 2.3.4?

You probably know this but ill say it just incase. You only flash gapps on aosp roms. I think all the ics gapps say ics in the name, and most of the time gapps for any rom are linked in the same thread as the rom.
Look at your pm in a little bit. I'm gonna send you some stuff that'll help you figure out how to correctly flash a phone so that you can s-off without worry. I can't really post it here.

Hey All. I Did my first flash ever with my Evo3d and the Viper Rom way back when it first came out. With the Rev tool to get unlock and S off. Now Ive had to have my phone replaced due to a bad digitizer and id like some ICS fun. But the Phone is now Hboot 1.50. Ive had Ramjet explain some stuff but still having some confusion. I did the HTC unlock and the phone is unlocked. I now need to install/flash 4EXT recovery. I assume this is something I need to flash to the bootloader/Fastboot Vs just a download (which I did get the paid for app.) Ive been r4eading some of the stuff here and there. But still a little lost. Then I guess I need to root? then I can S off? Sorry for the dumb questions and being noob about this. Just wanting to learn/relearn the right ways. I know once I see it I can handle it just fine. Thanks for the help.

I'm actually on a sprint based cdma phone.
Have you looked at the HTC Unlock Guide (also in my signature)? Post 4 I think covers flashing the recovery & SU correctly.
- once unlocked, use fastboot commands to push the the recovery.img to the phone, boot to recovery and flash SU. Reboot.= Htc Unlocked stock rooted rom. (Note: there is also a link to the hboot differences thread you should read after getting s-Off).
Then you can use Jbear to get S-Off for Gingerbread/2.17 base.

Thanks mpgrimm
Id really like to end up with ICS is the direction im heading but im sure that will help. Thanks!! May have some further questions. Hope thats all right?
Sure thing. I haven't done the Jbear Wire Trick (I did the hboot 1.50 downgrade) but I can point you where to go.
ok so ill be honest. ive been out of the loop for a long time and have very little idea whats going on with android development and whatnot. im hoping someone can help me get to where i need to get. attached are screenshots of what firmware im on and and rom. i want to get onto cm9 and i have tried flashing it but it wouldnt boot. i think i have s-off and i dont know how to unlock it. (noob i know) any info helps and id really appreciate it. thanks
LWell, we know you are bootloader unlocked because you have a custom ROM installed. If you want CM9, and you are s-on, make sure you follow the instructions in the OP of that thread.
You can check your s-off status by shutting your phone off, pull battery, put battery back in, and press volume down and power until you see the white screen. Up in the top right it will say either s-on or s-off.

If you're s-off, there is no reason to unlock (aside from fastboot commands, but that seems trivial once you've achieved s-off). Also, looks like you're on GB firmware. If I was you, I'd RUU with the latest leak from AndroidPolice. If you're s-off, it's easy. Just re-flash amonra 3.15 after you run the ruu. You'll have the latest radios, as well as ICS. That's where to start; then it's very easy to flash a CM9 ROM.

i thought it had s-off but it is on and the top says unlocked. how can i changed it back to off? when trying to get on the RUU leak it wont work, ill try again tomorrow but maybe you know whats up
So you're S-On and locked, but you want to be S-Off? You need to run Jupunout-Bear if you just want to be unlocked go to HTC Dev. If you're unlocked your boot and radio partitions are still locked, but can be flashed via the fastboot command. If you're S-Off you can do it directly from the phone.
The wire trick for S-Off can be tricky to do perfectly, since you need to time it correctly which is 1.5 seconds. Someone made a metronome sound file but its a pain to start the process, play the sound file and then do the wire trick. I found out that the easiest way to do is it to just skip the file and use a rigid piece of wire and start with the ground pin depressed and then tap pin 1 twice since it's a lot harder to miss than by doing it vice versa, which I did multiple times. Also the words mississippi mississippi when said at a normal speed equal just about 1.5 seconds.

That's incorrect information. There is nothing about s-off in that thread and it doesn't exist yet for our phone. That thread is about system write protection, which is something entirely different.

Would have been great to s-off with sunshine but i guess our device is not supported
Someone working on s-off for our device?
Jcase and beaups are working on Sunshine S-off version 3.0, which will most likely support our device. It isn't out yet though, but should be soon. Whatever you do, DO NOT post in the sunshine thread asking anything about it.
$ 25 is a lot for a 610 Thanks for reply
Any advantages now that we can s-off with sunshine?

Having s-off is news to me. @ClearD, did you purchase this? If so how did you implement it? I went to what I think is the thread but didn't see any notice of how to buy it...
Nevermind. Found it here. And the list confirms our phone. I don't think I'll be buying it because I'm not sure what else I can do that I'm not already doing. Good to know its there though.

Went and removed red text and added a new splash
With it, you can also change the radio. And bootloader I think. And pretty much anything.
I assume just running the app will remove the red message, but can we just run this with our bootloaders already unlocked and rooted?
And is there anything that changes as far as how we update firmware in the future? I noticed some people were waiting for new exploits, meaning root might've been broken by updates so there must be some more info to it. It'd be great if it had a built in way to take otas even if it means automating the lock/return to stock to do this...
Thats the only thing I'm worried about, I'll s-off, do the whole recovery and mods, Lollipop drops and the only way to update is to relock and RUU. Then be stuck unrooted.

No, you've gotta flash a new splash screen with the command: fastboot flash splash splash.img
Yes, run it unlocked and rooted. That's optimal.
The current way to root should be fine for the life of the phone. Root tool v4 should be finer, actually. Use it instead. It's easier. No root is broken that I'm aware of.
To get an OTA, you will need to relock and ruu, plain and simple. It's always been that way. I don't know if s-off will affect that or not.

And then when you get the update, you unlock again and re root. Then use titanium backup to restore your apps. It's that easy.

***I actually misspoke there...what I meant was the current version of sunshine wasn't working on the latest firmware (not our phone I don't think) and they were going to release a new version shortly.
That fastboot command you gave me...do I need to put a specific splash img in my fast boot folder or does just typing that in fast boot get it done?

You have to have a specific splash screen. So, someone with a stock one can pull theirs hopefully and we can reflash that.
