Good morning everyone.
I am desperately looking for a way to put my HTC which is 1.00.0000 by 1.01.X000 in order to put it in "S-off" with "XTC clip more" which is only compatible with versions 0.33.X000, 0.43.X003 and 1.01.X000
Thank you in advance for your reply.
PS: Sorry for my English certainly approximate.
I thought you can s off without using the clip at this point. But anyway I think Blay0 made a guide for this.

Good morning.
Thank you for the reply but I tried all the procedures in this site without success. the phone tells me it is impossible to downgrade the HBOOT.
in fact I am looking for a LEGEIMG.zip whith HBOOT in 1.01 and not in 0.93
Thank you in advance for your reply
Hang on a second, my understanding is that if you have Hboot lower than 1.00 you can S-OFF without XTC clip via visionary method, if you change to Hboot 1.00 or higher you can't S-off except with XTC clip? (More Money)?
I have read on Blay0s guide that having Hboot 1.00+ can be really good because the recovery portion is slightly smaller? Which gives us slightly more rom space yeah? and also allows for bad sectors (I Have 2 on my phone btw).
If you do an upgrade to htc froyo it already has Hboot 1.01 as part of the upgrade, isn't this what you want?
P.S. when I first got my phone it was eclair with Hboot 0.43 when I put froyo i got Hboot 1.01.
I carry out its proceedings, but at some point the phone told me that he can not downgrade to 0.93.
So I try to upgrade to 1.01.0000.
In France the Froyo Only HBOOT 1.00
I had the wrong idea at the time to do the update from my phone company.

If your really that desperate to get S-OFF hboot 1.01, then the following might help, I emphasise MIGHT as in it possibily might not work.
Edit: as an after thought this will unroot your phone but with hboot 1.01 so you'll have to root again
have you been to shipped roms here
http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Legend,
downloaded a froyo rom from another country with Hboot 1.01 and tried to install it? It may need a goldcard to work???
I know that the AU rom has the 1.01 update
RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_Vodafone_AU_3.15.178.3_Radio_47.51.35.17_7.13.35.05_release_160328_signed.exe
or
RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_Vodafone_AU_3.15.178.3_Radio_47.51.35.17_7.13.35.05_release_160428_signed.exe.
I don't know what the difference is between these to releases.
I'm not sure if they support French language, so you may have to experiment with something from another European country.
Of course doing these things are all at your own risk, however being S-ON I don't see how you can brick your phone.
Once your S-OFF then you can flash what every you like.
Thank you!
I'll try that.
we'll see if it works.

Hi guys, I'm new to this world, to custom ROM'S and such.
I have waited for the Official ROM from HTC, but I'm rly disappointing whit the Official ROM, but now I have seen some topic saying that after installing this one, it's impossible to downgrade it and put a custom ROM. But I have seen some replays around the forum saying that is possible.
Oki, saying this, I have been searching the forum since then, about a good tutorial for this, so i can put a custom ROM on the Hero, but I cant find any, so i, making this post so that the experts can help me out
P.S. I know about the warning's and such, but nothing is impossible, it just can take some time do to it.
Thanks for the help guys
As far as i know, official 2.1 = locked phone.
Might change sometime but not yet.
Rooted mine, far preferable
Try this, about the best one i found
androidforums.com/all-things-root-hero/54802-how-root-install-custom-rom-backup-more.html
Sorry, no linky, forum says i'm not old enough. Or was it too few posts
Wrong, you can downgrade it. Just run the RUU update file and it will downgrade (goldcard method).
2.1 is also now rooted with the same method for root as 1.5/1.6/2.0.

???????????
where did you see this info? have you done it yourself?
I've tried to do it, with goldcard method and it didn't work.
Reply to confirm what you have stated please.
tks
I don't know or ever used the goldcard method but I can assure I did update my Hero via OTA (both of the updates) and I was able to go back to a different ROM. Simply use Amon-RA's recovery image and you can flash anything you want.
You must know something though, my Hero came with version 1.76 (back in the day) and I never installed an official update through RUU's (thus blocking the phone by installing newer SPLs). And I'm also using the unlocked SPL for the Hero posted by Paul @ MoDaCo.
The RUUs normally install a new SPL (locked probably) but as you are all aware, the 2.1 update is only available via OTA (for now at least) and doesn't install a new SPL, so there's no problem there, assuming you are using an unlocked SPL or an older one. If a new RUU is made available for 2.1, it will probably com with a new SPL, or not, who knows...

That is incorrect, I did my update through an RUU (Chungwa) and therefore I'm stuck with it.

It depends...according to Nazgulled, if you did a FOTA upgrade you should be able to downgrade. If like me, you did it through RUU...you're screwed for now...
I'm assuming i'm not going to be able to since my phone came stock with 2.1 lol, oh well. Hadn't planned on rooting right away anyway. Not actually too sure what rooting would do for me...
Hi all,
I have a HTC Flyer 32g, 3g and was looking to do the required to make GSM phone calls on it. However, my hboot version says 1.07.00 so revolutionary does not support to change to s-off....so any help on if/how i can change the hboot version to 1.10.000 would be much appreciated.
NB - totally new to the world of HTC/Android (having just moved up from a Motorola V3i...yep i know i know).
Thanks in advance

Do the OTA update, if this is a UK stock one, the first update just updates Gingerbread and takes the bootloader to 1.10
Its the 3rd update that takes it to HC,
So you are safe doing the first update OTA to get to the 1.10 BOotloader.
THats the way I did mine (One of the Dixons 32gb 3g ones!)
Thanks
Ah thats excellent thanks, updated, followed the instructions in (external link) and now have s-off.
Thanks for your help.
Hi all,
I got a HTC Flyer P512.
It is running a Eng build Honeycomb rom I guess.
Since it is not so stable and not localized to my place, I would like to flash it with a stock rom image.
But before that, I would like to know more about that since I am not not so familiar with that.
1. I see that my flyer is Eng S-Off, will it turn to Ship S-ON if I flash a stock rom for that?
2. If I make a full backup for that? Can all the things be able to restore back (include Eng S-OFF and rooted Eng build system) by that, and how?
Thanks for that.
I have little experience on handling Xoom but HBoot and RUU in flyer is new to me.
Start here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362639
and do some reading. Information is available for all your questions.
We didn't make a YouTube video because we are all so ugly the cameras cracked.
Thanks for your quick response.
I read the thread before.
According to this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18508220&postcount=2
I found that my cidnum is 11111111
Which is not mentioned. However after I do some research, I found that it is a superCID.
Does it mean that My machine is S-OFF in permanently and can be able to flash any rom I want, and such kind of cid can not be changed by software in anyway?
Thanks!
OK, that's a new one to me. I recommend you contact Globaltron on the forum here and ask him. He's the expert on models, boot, etc.
That appears to be a US model, so you would have to flash a US RUU to return to stock if that is the case. Not sure what the effect of having Eng S-OFF is . If you do successfully flash a stock RUU it will return you to S-ON, locked. Then you have to go through the process to obtain S-OFF again
Thanks again!
My Flyer is got from Google ADL last year.
It is running an eng build Android 3.2 with testkey.
Therefore I am wondering if that is a engineering machine without any flashing limitation.
Thank you again.

If you saw my post on general subforum, you may noticed we have same flyer model. Which from contacting with Globaltron is Prerelease Engineering Model of Htc Flyer.
I also get the cid: 11111111 from my device.
I'm trying to install a stock wwe rom now and see what will happen.
Thanks or your reply.
I use RUU to updae my flyer to HK wifi room.
It works!
It turns from ENG S-OFF to SHIP S-OFF.
Cid remains 11111111
That is expected, you had ENG not SHIP s-off. Run revolutionary to get S-OFF again.
Hi guys
Sorry if this has been already answered. I tried to search for solution many times and asked in threads of ROM but people give very vague answer. I don't want to risk losing my device and want to stick with easy rooting.
I followed this guide to root my phone: http://androidforums.com/evo-3d-all-things-root/494212-complete-newbies-guide-rooting-flashing-evo-3d-roms-kernels-using-fastboot.html. I installed everything but didn't do S-OFF. One thing I'd like to share is that I did unlocking through HTCdev and also that I run Rogers phone. Currently I'm using kingcobra 2.4 ROM.
So now I wanted to install ICS but I need to install new firmware. I tried to revert back to stock ROM and do ICS update but it'd stop at HTC screen and same thing happened when I tried to install ICS rom.
So I need to install this new firmware for sure, but I have S-ON I think. Now things I need to know and perform I believe are:
S-Off
Install new firmware
-------
Now do I have to do RUU update as well? If so, where do I do that and how do I know what RUU I am running? Also I'm running HBOOT 1.49.0008 because I did unlocking through HTCdev
-------
If I wanted to simply use the Rogers ICS update, how can I get it? Do I still need to S-Off? I did full back up. Please explain very clearly.
you want to go back to stock so you can install the OTA / official ICS rom?
You can dl the RUU from the htc website. Rename it to PC86IMG.zip and let it install in bootloader
Whats the link for it please? I am on Rogers evo 3d
Also I think i have the base RUU?
The only rom I installed had this:
"
Base: Rogers RUU 1.20.631.2 HTC EVO 3D (Shooter U GSM)
Android Version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Kernel: Your choice:
"
I chose original kernel, meaning not installing any. I don't think I need stock ruu now do I?
If someone can find me an easy S-off tutorial, I would be more happy to do that and stick with rooting.
I have spent too much time trying to find a way to update to ICS and I am regretting to root my phone now =[ I can't get ICS either way...
go to htcdev, enter your info and they'll let you dl the ruu for your phone.
i used s-off wire trick , try that for hboot 1.5
Hi
I am new to the forums and read the forum post, i needed to in devs for this. However since I cannot actually post there and get some help until i get 10 posts, I thought I might post here. I am completely lost in these forums hehe
Anyway to the point.
I have a European HTC One S (S4) sim is unlocked, bootloader unlocked and rooted phone. It shows on bootloader screen tampered and unlocked.
However my hboot is 1.15.0000
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
The reason I wanted to get s-off is so i can download and install the latest 4.2.2 sense 5 update, but apparently cannot with s-on? I actually thought it didn't matter if it was on or off, most roms can be flashed regardless as long as bootloader and is rooted?
Basically, I need some advice / help for a newbie to allow me to achieve s-off with all the above done (i guess the chance for bricking is really small compared to when rooting?). I really do not want to brick my phone, and I have no idea about supercid or whether its even needed on the european models, since there does appear to be differences in the software.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give to me
Any help would be appreciated.
