No, you can't. You're screwed until ARX/Revolutionary work something out for you.
Learn where to post, you're not new, you have no excuse.

This site also has something called forum structure. Just FYI. When you tag a question [Q] and there's a section called Q&A, is it really freaking rocket science to know that your question probably goes there? Yeah, I'd say so.
you can install a rom using 1.5 hboot and the latest firmware/radios
after doing the HTCDEV unlock. i spent over 1 hour walking someone thru it on chat this evening.
there is a nice 'kanged' write up on how to in this forum.
Thread has been moved to proper sub-forum.
Lets try and keep in topic now

Look, you can try to downgrade your radio's, pri's etc using the RUU below. It will revert you back 2.3.3 Radio 0.97.10. 0530. Then you can root your phone(you can use the revolutionary method). Let me know if this works. Download it and it will guide you through the process...

It is if your lookin all over google Along with threads deep. I was trying to find just one file the 2.17 for folks since all the guides don't have a link to the latest RUU and many folks are stuck at the unlock code bin thing were it says your unlocked but your really not...
All other links are to older RUU nothing new some other sites have the latest RUU but there full of crap to click on till you get to downloading.
The PC86IMG.ZIP will not work cause you need the RUU. Also I wasn't raining on the guys thread just posting a guide workaround on the hboot1.5 since alot of folks are stuck......
Anyways have fun flashing when you get rooted. Never did claim they were my links either. I just post links to stuff. Like we all do..

I only know how to relock it..
No one has found a fix for that top part that always says relocked at the top in pink.. As far as I know.
Ok I guess this is nothing new (I'm sorry for making a new thread but here goes since it's already here!) and honestly there's probably no reason to do this I did it on accident troubleshooting a problem with my mic...
First I did the downgrade procedure using Closeone's awesome live cd it's super easy and really not as scary as one would think!
Once the downgrade was done, had used revolutionary and I had installed Meanrom (Meanrom not necessary) I ended up running the 2.17 RUU which left me with "Relocked and S-OFF"
Then I just did the htcdev unlock (it actually won't let you select yes but it unlocks the bootloader) after this it let me flash a recovery image through fastboot.
Once again sorry this was already known I just had never seen it and wanted to share it with you all in case it might help someone

Not trying to burst your bubble but i had 1.5 s-off before...all you have to do is gain s-off through revolutionary and either accidentally or purposefully flash a pg86img/ruu.exe that contains hboot 1.5. Those files don't change s-off/s-on

if you start with 1.3/1.4 and run revolutionary the shooter gets radio s-off. after that if you're ruu'ing to hboot 1.5 in the end result is s-off. hence the permanent nand unlock

Reaper24 explained what had happened on the first page. Just an accident. If you are already on HBOOT 1.40, you can unlock the device (S-OFF) with Revolutionary. Upgrading back to 1.50 will still allow S-OFF to work as long as the device was previously unlocked.
Currently, the only known way of getting S-OFF on a HBOOT 1.50 is downgrading it to 1.40 (see Unknownforce's post stickied at the top of the page or my signature).
Thanks anyways nymica.

I have tried various ways to get my supercid to work and it doesnt. I give up. I just give up.
I put the PG58IMG on the root of the sd card and the bootloader tells me there is no image found.... WTF!
I am about to throw this phone against the wall.... (no I will not give it away, I will kill it) if someone doesn't explain to me why this is happening!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have obtained S-Off earlier this morning.... that was the easiest part of my day....... Tell me how putting supercid on my phone is the hardest part of my day???
When I type in "fastboot getvar cid" it shows me my default cid....
I am going to kill this thing soon....

Ok since I seem to be missing something.... I would need you guys to explain to me (please) what exactly I need.... What do I need to do to make my SCID to work.... I want to be able to write 11111111 so I could flash whatever I want........ I am kinda lost.... and I do not like feeling like a noob....
I am currently running:
S-OFF, Energy Rom (GB), HBoot 1.90.2005.
History:
I had the ICS leak, but took it off. (Does that affect my HBoot?)
Apps at my disposal:
Root Explorer, Rom Manager, 4EXT Recovery, and Titanium Backup.
Well SCID won't let you flash ANYTHING it will only let you flash other Carriers RUUs that also carry the Amaze/Ruby. It won't let you flash a GS2 Rom on your Amaze if that's what you're thinking. Being a Tmobile Customer, we are the only carriers with the ICS for the Amaze so its pointless for now. And Android RevolutionHD does not require SCID for Tmobile users because its based off the Tmobile RUU.
Once other carriers, that also carry the Amaze/Ruby, have an awesome Rom then SCID maybe needed.

In order to have a successful rooting / flashing experience.... you must read.... A LOT.... I hate reading.... But ever since I joined XDA I have done way too much reading... I paid 700 dollars for my phone.... There's no way I'd be stupid enough to not read and brick the hell out of my phone.... My PS3 was only 300 ..... my laptop was only 350.... and my monitor was about 360 and my ipod was about 250.... its the most expensive piece of equipment I own.....
I take care of all of my devices..... I cannot afford to brick my phone.... because once I do.... I'd have to go back to my stupid LG G2x.... and I can't have that!!!!!!!!!!
Plus I learn when I read....
It also says that I need to do a Super Wipe...... so now I gotta read a hell lot of threads and figure out what super wipe does.... and how to put it on my phone....

I see that you got your Queston answered in the supercid thread but this is also for those who posted in this thread.
Your problem is that you have ENG HBoot. You need JB Hboot (or is it JD?), which you can grab in the supercid thread. after you flash the hboot you can supercid. You can reflash ENG Hboot when finish.
I've experienced the same problem as you and this was my fix.

If you had the ICS leak already, might as well flash the latest leak (reported better connectivity than the first leak) and try to superCID with the SHP 1.93.0002 hboot. After you do superCID then go back to GB. It's an extra step but something you've already done before.
Regarding Super Wipe, you should be able to download the file from mike1986's tread under Downloads. All it does is wipe and formats data, system and cache in one swoop instead of you manually doing it yourself.
Ok, sorry if this info is readily out there but after reading and reading I am just not sure what to do so I am going to ask what I hope is not a dumb question. I have tried to update my firmware using captain_throwback's instructions to flash at the bootloader with a file on the root of the SD card. It was named correctly and never gives me a successful indication. I do not have any issues with the phone but I am just trying to keep it updated as they come out without screwing my HBoot. Is there something that I have missed or am not seeing based on the info below?
I really appreciate any help, thanks!

Make sure to read through it 10 times and triple check that you have all of the necessary items before you begin. It would also be a good idea to have a USB drive with Ubuntu on it just in case.

As the others have said, post #2 has everything you need. I ran the LazyPanda S-off tool last Friday and it worked perfectly. I was pretty nervous when I did it, but as long as you follow the directions you will be fine.
Thanks everyone!!!!
It worked just as advertised, and for the record I read the instructions 14 times (I can be a little ADD sometimes)

Welcome to S-OFF
May all your flashes be fruitful
Running lazy panda was probably the scariest thing I ever did to my phone, my heart was racing as I went to hit the enter button. Thankfully it worked flawlessly.

I am right there with you, while it was going through feeding panda and said "cant find device" I about crapped myself.
Same here, bricked, but got it back with Ubuntu. Anyone still on the first hboot don't realize what they got and s-off otherwise your wasting your phones potential. There is no excuse for having hboot 1.12 and being s-on anymore.

I thought I would start a thread to help people that sent there DNA out to get JTAG s-off and now are trying to flash a custom Rom.
If anybody want to put there experience on here so people know the steps and the correct way to handle the bootloader.
I think it would be helpful. I am still waiting for mine to come back from mobiletechvideos so it would be helpful for me to.
Thanks to anyone who contributes.
I'm pretty sure this should be in general. Just sayin.

Yeah you're right. It's a good thread though. I'm thinking Q&A section would probably be good because of the other stuff in the same section.
It will get moved.

How did you know I'm part Philippino? Utensils are banned in that country.
s-off dna
The purpose of the forum is to get the right info I've seen conflicting points on whether or not you still need to unlock the bootloader after s-off.
My understanding was that once your s-off you don't need to unlock because it bypasses the bootloader security checks. I am probably wring but I was hoping to get a clarified answer with this forum what do think choochoo

You shouldn't have to all you really need to do is flash the ENG Hboot and flash a recovery and then flash a Rom most have root already and your good to go. If you wanna use the stock hboot and only want su permission then you do need to unlock hboot it to be able to flash a recovery and superuser or supersu.

Thank you for the clarification. That's what I thought but there are people are posting that u need to downgrade via ruu and then use the beups exploit to supercid and then htcdev unlock and I was calling bullswack on that. Lol thanks again

The eng hboot has more functions available so there is a better chance of messing up the phone. Most people stick with the stock hboot since that's good enough for most.

I agree with that only if your not familiar with using the ENG Hboot, if you are then it's the better choice.

Unless you actually run any of the additional commands included in ENG hboot you will be ok. Much ado about nothing.

The biggest issue with eng hboot is if you try to s on your phone with the eng hboot installed you will bard brick your device.

Why would you try to so your device after you have s-offed it
Where do I find the non-eng hboot? I'm paranoid that if I ever need to s-on my phone I'll further I have eng h-boot and brick it so I kind of want to go back.

Just got my phone back from the JTAG service and this was the exact procedure. Flashed the ENG boot and then flashed recovery. Bootloader still says 'LOCKED' but allowed me to flash.
I've JTAGG'd 18 DNA devices so far on the OTA update (I do this on the downlow due to specific "developer" who can't understand how to get all phones to take the RIFF JTAG flash software.
Flash ENG Hboot if you want the options available to it, though not mandatory. Install a root program (SuperSU is my recommendation), then flash a recovery.
Immediately backup your current setup, then go for any ROM you see fit. Profit.
