Ok, just as with any other device I have ever rooted, I would like to have an out just in case. So with that said, before I go ahead and root my Jetstream, I would like to know how exactly we should go about unrooting it if need be. I see that Football posted a PG09IMG for the stock ROM, can we just flash that from the bootloader and obtain S-ON and whatnot or is there something else we need to do?
Your jetstream is AT&T version
If yes you can't flash PG09IMG till you have S-OFF and changing Super CID

Yes, its from AT&T, and I know you have to have S-OFF to flash the PG09IMG, I was taking about if I root it and want to get S-ON back. And pardon my ignorance, but I have no idea what changing Super CID is
CID. Is carrierID each particular carrier has ID once I change it you'll able flash any Rom

Ok, but does that mean that flashing that PG09IMG will give us S-ON and therefore be unrooted?
Flash a rom or RUU can unroot your device but its not change the security flag. So if you have an s-off device it will be remain s-off anything you do. If you have an s-on device its the same. Cid is the carrier id number. That number prevent you from flashing another region or operator rom or to debrand your device. If you have supercid (1111111) you can flash any rom you like.
If your eg. Jetstream has root,s-off,supercid,unlocked bootloader its like heaven and you own a fully unlocked tablet which you can flash any rom,custom rom, kernel etc.
Ok, I have S-ON. So say I follow DooMLoRD instructions to gain root, install his custom recovery and kernel. What would I do to unroot the device?
Nothing. You need an official ATT RUU to unroot but it is not available on the internet.

Dear all EVO GSM user,
Firstly, my device's current info should read as follow.
***Lock*** Shooter_u PVT.SHIP S-ON RL BOot-.1.49.0012 eMM-boot Aug.4.2011 ***************
It's a Testra Brand device I bought from my friend as I recognized the splash screen showing T and some Testra application installed, and so my question is as follow. 1) I have searched through Google, but could found not anybody has talked about Unlock EVO Testra brand device so far, so if it's possible to Unlock its current boot-loader? Noted that in HTCDEV does not show EVO Testra in its supported device and only showing like Sprint, Roger devices..etc.
2) If the HTCDEV method does not work, are there any methods that our users have been successfully unlocked their Testra device's bootloader?
3) I believe that my phone has been unlocked from Testra network via using keypad method to unlock it originally, and if it is so, in even my phone's bootloader could be unlocked, rooted & flashed any custom roms, and I will need to go back to stock rom (via running RUU.exe) due to some reasons like custom roms are not running well or more lagges...etc, and after completely flashing stock RUU.exe, will the Testra network (not the bootloader) lock my phone network again same as originally?
Thank you in advance for your help and looking forward to your good advices & comments as I need to try some custom roms now.
My phone's details as per attachments.
Hi,
I have the Vodafone branded version (VODAP120 not VODAP102), and can't find a working RUU to flash mine back to hboot 0007 from my current 0018. However I did manage to use the HTCdev method, I don't understand what the problem is for you. Branding and sim lock are independent, once it has been sim unlocked, it'll work with all sims, no matter what RUU you flash.
What I don't understand is why there are methods to unbrand the DHD and the Sensation, and nobody has yet managed to create one for the Evo 3d. In some German forum I read that you can nandroid restore a 'backup' off an unbranded device, to unbrand your own...
The problem with unlocking your device (to S-off, since htcdev method works), is that you won't find a working ruu with hboot 0007 or 0008 with the correct cid.

If my phone now is simunlocked, and if we flash the Testra stock Shipped ROM_U again same as original, will this stock shipped ROM lock my phone sim network again?
I noticed there is no method to unlock bootloader on Testra branded device yet.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515a using xda premium
AFAIK, no it won't sim lock it again. Might depend on the radio, but I doubt it will relock.
You can unlock the bootloader with HTCDev, then flash CWM recovery, then flash superuser through cwm, then flash a telstra branded RUU with hboot of 0007 or 0008. Then you can unlock the bootloader to S-Off with Revolutionary's tool. There's tutorial threads all over the place in the GSM development section.
Your problem (and mine too) is that we can't find an RUU that will work with our branded CID's, VODAP120 for me and TELSXXXX for you. If you try to flash, it always says incorrect cid (even with goldcard).

But in HTCDev, Testra branded is not listed in the supported device. Thus how can we unlock its bootloader? Can you clarify more?
Can it be confirmed that it won't lock the sim network again?
If I were u, if some of the custom roms can be considered as a daily use, and stock could not be reverted, will maintain at custom rom.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515a using xda premium
Sorry I wasn't clear enough on that, you need to use EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Asia - I think). I can't flash most custom roms because I don't have S-Off, I'm on 0018. ATM I'm using RosieLess, its clean, very light, and senseless (my favorite!).

Did the EMEA work to unlock your brand VODAF hboot? I believe yes base on ur comment? Why are u on S-ON now when u can unlock ur hboot, S-OFF, rooted ur phone?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515a using xda premium
Yes I used EMEA and I got my VODAP evo unlocked, but I don't have an RUU that has the correct cip, so I can't downgrade my hboot. I rooted it by installing cwm through fastboot. But I can't get S-Off with 0018.
Many users now have reported the same as your. Did your phone unlock sim network too?

Can you help me. I need to enable gsm phone on my Flyer. The details are following:
***UNLOCKED*** unlocked from htcdev
FLYER PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT - 1.11.0011
Radio - 3822.10.00.07_M
I cannot s-off using the Revolutionary method as it does not cover my HBOOT version. It doesn't matter if i have to downgrade or not, however i cannot find a post which specifically covers my details.
All i need is to enable the phone function. Can you please help me!?
any help please
i have the same issue
I don't think I've seen a downgrade method for your hboot. You might have to live with unlocked bootloader and S-On. If you want to flash custom ROMs, root, etc., you will still have those benefits. The only real difference is that you have to flash boot.img manually using fastboot, every time you flash a custom ROM.

please if i flash custom ROM with phone call function to my flyer , can i used it to make GSM calls,
thx in advance

I was actually wrong about there not being a downgrade method for 1.11.0011. There was one posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070140
The RUUs thread linked in the guide is obsolete (dead/deleted download links). But the method seems to be valid.
I am new to HTC as a whole. And I'm sorry if I'm missing something here. I've been spending my time reading the past couple of days trying to learn about this all.
It is mentioned but I never found a good explanation of CID and how it is relevant to anything that I have control over?
I'm currently running Trickdroid and I don't understand all of this 1.29 talk. From what I'm gathering from reading you can flash the Rom but it will not update things like the radio? Ok, How do I check my firmware/radio? version I am currently running?
Specifically am I reading beginning of dev posts and don't need to worry about this anymore because you wonderful devs have found a way to incorporate all this in just flashing a Rom?
Feeling a little overwhelmed coming from a Samsung device to all of this. So far so good, but confused and any help would be greatly appreciated..
Thank you in advance.

Radio aka baseband is almost never included in a ROM.
CID is carrier ID and every phone HTC makes has one. CID is what prevents you from installing say a UK carrier's official RUU on your At&T device.
HTC also utilizes something called SuperCID which is a carrier ID of 111111111 which allows you to install any firmware on your device. The only way at this time to get superCID is to gain S-off which is a security measure that restricts which parts of the phone software you can change.
With the HTC One, HTC changed what you have access to with an unlocked bootloader, previously, even with an unlocked bootloader you couldn't flash a kernel or a radio via recovery, now you can flash insecure kernels and HTC signed (approved) radios.
For flashing purposes, you can ignore the firmware requirements and flash the ROMs in the international section without issues.

Ok. Thank you for that explanation. How do I check what radio/baseband I am currently using? RUU, though it can still not be changed because we have no s_off, what is it? I
Also how do I find out what CID I am?

you are up to date, and there's no need to relock the bootloader and revert to stock for an update UNLESS HTC releases a new HBOOT (the bootloader) and the developers here will let you know if and when that's necessry

One last question as it seems you would know. Is there a thread on the s-off process and how that is coming? Or is that just background dev?
I'm sure it's being worked on by someone.

I just went through this process and S-OFF is not enough, you also need to change your MID otherwise OTAs will fail. I will write something up soon on what I did to convert my ATT to International ROM.
Just got my One today, coming from an S-Off One X. Is getting S-Off deemed important on the One?
##Update##
Realized how easy it was to obtain S-Off compared to the HTC One X (which admittedly was pretty easy already) and went ahead and did it anyways
Honestly if you need to ask this type of question do not attempt it, just because its on here doesnt mean its a necessity...htc dev unlock the phone and flash a custom rom and be happy with that for now until youve read read and read some more....

How to root (with links) is explained on my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Also, much of the "HTC specific" lingo is explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52484527
I would suggest reading up (and making sure you understand all the terms and processes) for at least a couple hours before trying anything on the phone. I do this every time I buy a new device, even having own quite a few HTC phones. In fact, I usually start reading and researching before I have the phone in hand.

If your talking about ROM, then take a full backup of your ROM before flashing custom ROM using titanium/nandroid etc.
Or if your talking about root,
Just unroot using unroot apps from play store or the respected app you get after rooting.

As the above reply stated, it depends on what you are talking about.
If you just want the stock ROM, recovery, etc. one option is to relock the bootloader and just run the RUU. It will return you to stock software. The only thing not "stock" will be the bootloader will say RELOCKED instead of LOCKED. You need s-off to make it say LOCKED again (after unlocking it).

so this is what i want to do i want to unlock bootloader then root which i know how to do but i was woundering would i be able to install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/rom-sd-4-0-sense7-port-sdkernel-t3062367

You should be good to go, then. Just unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery and flash the Skydragon ROM you linked.

You can return to stock with a RELOCKED bootloader with s-on.
You do need s-off if you want to make the bootloader say LOCKED as it was from the factory. But the only reason to ever do this is for warranty purposes. And if you bought the phone from AT&T, you should note that your warranty is through AT&T, not HTC. And AT&T doesn't give a crap if the bootloader is unlocked, or whatever (folks have even successfully sent in phones for warranty with custom ROMs on them).
If you are seeing warranty service through HTC (you didn't purchase from AT&T) that is another story. But that is the only reason I'd bother going back to LOCKED.
In normal usage, I recommend leaving the bootloader UNLOCKED as it give you more flexibility to flash ROMs whenever you want, etc. The only reason IMO to relock the bootloader in normal usage is to run the RUU.
S-off is nice have if you want to flash radios, modified hboots, and some other things (you also don't need to relock to RUU with s-off). It certainly doesn't hurt, and some folks like to make the phone as customizable as possible right away. In fact, I did s-off to the phone the second day I had it (although s-off was free back then). But for you, its not strictly "needed" at this time unless you want to do the things mentioned.
so heres the thing again sorry for the manny questions i am just making sure if i do this everything will work so heres the thing the rom i linked if i were to flash it will my at&t sevice work since it would be a different baseband

The baseband isn't determined by the ROM, its determined by flashing a different baseband/radio (which requires s-off).
There are some folks that have had issues on AT&T's LTE network using some custom ROMs. Namely, not receiving or sending voice calls while on LTE. But this seems somewhat random, and not the ROMs fault per se; but probably changes that AT&T is making to their network. The most you can do is flash the Skydragon ROM, and if you have problems, try another ROM or revert to stock.
Make a backup of your stock ROM with TWRP before you flash anything, to be sure you have something to revert to if you have problems. This is good general advice before you flash any custom ROMs, root mods, etc.
I'm using the ROM your linked (Skydragon Sense 7) on AT&T, and it works fine for me.
