I have hboot 1.5, and so far I've been able to do all the same things as a person with s-off.
Is there anything else you can do with s-off that s-on users can't do?
I only ask cause so many people say they hate this 1.5 hboot.

Are you able to boot into recovery and flash a rom without using a pc?

It is alot easier if you have S-OFF, as you dont have to use fastboot or joeykrim's app to flash kernels and such.
I believe only S-OFF users can flash splash screens? Dont quote me on it though.
You can't flash radios or boot logos.

It's just a lot more convenient having S-off. I got lucky and my device came with 1.40 hboot.

Bootlogos not a big deal but i can see not being able to flash radios being a problem.

i did HTC Unlock Hboot 1.50 + TWRP Recovery + Root + Flash, a while ago. works great but i would like to install the New OTA upgrades can anyone help me...
If your hboot 1.5 and HTC unlocked, HTC has you on record as giving up your devices warranty. I know its not exactly what you were asking for but I think its worth pointing out

If you're S-On, you have to "relock" the bootloader to install the OTA update. See the the GUide/Flashing Notes in my signature (it's in the stickies thread too) . I have the links you need in there.
I'm stuck on 1.5 unfortunately. Would be great if we can get s-off but I dnt know if that's ever going to be possible

Benefits of S-Off:
-Flash kernels from recovery
-Flash splash screens
-Flash radios
-Flash bootloaders
-Not in HTC's unlocked database
-Can S-on at any time (not really recommended)
-You aren't limited to anything. You can do ANYTHING with your phone.
If I were you, I would downgrade to HBOOT 1.40 since you have S-Off.

I rootrd my Thunderbolt using Jcase's manual method shortly after the phone was released. I have the following (unimportant or matching info omitted):
MECHA XD ENG S-OFF
HBOOT 1.04.2000
A friend just rooted using Revolutionary and he has the following:
MECHA XD SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 6.04.1002
I've been reading some info about Revolutionary and it looks like the program essentially turns off security so you can install SuperUser and flash CWM Recovery. I assume it does not replace the stock (SHIP) bootloader. Does this limit the phone at all? Can he still flash radios through bootloader? What's the easiest/safest way to install the engineering bootloader, or is it even needed?
I noticed that bootloader and CWM both say Revolutionary as well now. Any modifications going on behind the scenes that I may need to know? I ask all of this because his phone has been force closing a lot and "messing up" so I'm going to be fixing it. I've onpy had my hands on the device for about 5 minutes so that's really all of the info I know about it.
Any/all feedback is appreciated!

Actually, Revolutionary does replace the bootloader. The difference between the ADB method and Revolutionary is that ADB uses a soft-patched engineering bootloader, whereas Revolutionary uses a hard-patched release version of the bootloader.
So basically what you're saying is I can flash another hboot over my hboot and it would take (i.e. I could act stupid and brick the phone) but if you use Revolutionary you can flash whatever in hboot but the actual hboot will not be replaced? Or is there a different meaning implied?

As far as I know, the Revolutionary hboot is patched to prevent flashing over. I don't know all the ins and outs. Never used the newer hboot because... if it's not broke, I don't fix it.
Alright, thanks for sending your thoughts. I don't think anything with the rooting method is causing his problem. I'll reflash the official MR2, do a full wipe, and install a fresh rom. He'll be good as new.

I want the latest ICS that has been leaked for the Amaze, and the latest sense which I think is 3.6, I read the threads relating to the two, but it doesnt tell you what other things need to be done (pre reqs) before following their respective instructions. Thanks to anyone who replies.

xndabox, is that the most useful hboot out right now or is it just more useful for the stuff that I am about to try? Ray, would it be better that I use the hboot that xnd posted?
Also, Do I have to do anything with something called "recovery" or was that already accomplished when i unlocked the bootloader/ s-offe'd my device/ hbooted the whatever? I used to have an atrix and there was something called clockwork mod recovery or something that allowed us to get into a menu after boot if needed, but for the amaze there is already a menu there. Thanks and a +1 to all the helpful posts you guys had after I get a clear image of what to do after supercid.

Thanks for the help! my last question pertains to the instructions for downloading ICS recoveries:
1) Be Locked with S-Off using JuopunutBear's S-Off method.
2) Flash the ENG Hboot 1.90.2005
3) With S-off and the ENG Hboot, rename the RUU to PH85IMG.zip and put on root of external SD card
4) Boot into bootloader and apply the update
5) Once updated, reflash the ENG Hboot again
6) Flash the CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery *****.img)
7) Flash the Superuser package in recovery to gain root
For step 6 and 7, once I have root access, how do I completly delete/remove CWM 5.5.04, so that I can install a different recovery instead and still have root?:

You can sub cwm with twerp from the amaze all in one tool. But when you are rooted, you can install any recovery software. Any rom for the amaze.. Any kernel for the amaze. Benefit of root, s-off, and eng hboot.
You are done! Did ics boot already?
4ext app will override whatever recovery software you have installed.

Hey guys, anyone have advice on whether or not to use HtcDev unlock method or wait for another method? I have a protection plan through Best Buy and they don't even check to see if its been "tampered" or not if I need a replacement. I am coming from EVO 3D and had hboot v1.4 so I never needed to use the HTC method. Just curious if it is harder to flash Roms and kernels with HTC method I guess. Thanks for the help in advance and its great to see such great devs working on this great phone already.
For the 3d it was a little harder, but not sure if that's the case for the LTE. I am personally gonna wait for s-off, but there is an app that let's you flash kernels without going through fastboot. Flashimage GUI I'm sure it will have to be updated to work with the LTE if It's even needed.
Sent from my EVO LTE!!
There is no s-off right now, but there are custom recoveries that work with the HTCDev unlock. Which means, custom roms and backups.
So am I correct in assuming that htcdev unlock with a custom recovery will function the same as s-off in terms of flashing roms, kernels, etc.? Also I should be able to still execute an s-off after performing the htcdev unlock, correct? I would hate to do the htc unlock method and then not be able to get s-off... Thanks again guys!
I have a similar question. When i use HTC dev to unlock, they will keep track. Do they notify sprint that my phone is no longer stock? Can you htc dev LOCK, so as to get it back to normal? I kinda don't even want to root if I have to let HTC know that I'm doing it by htc dev.

When you dev unlock HTC keeps the sn of your phone on file as being unlocked, I doubt they say anything to Sprint though. Even if you relock HTC still knows. I would give it a couple weeks and see if we get s-off if not then you might want to reconsider htcs method.

Not sure about s-off after unlock though I don't see why you couldn't, but on the 3d with the HTC unlock method you had to either fastboot into recovery through adb or use flashimage GUI to flash kernels.

First off htc dev sucks. I had it for a while on my evo 3d with hboot 1.5 and it was terrible and I was dying from being confused on how to flash roms. It worked great for some people and for others like me it didn't. So far right now i'm htcdev unlocked and it's fine I guess. Of course once we get s-off i'll totally go that way as s-off is soooooo much better than the dev unlock.

Yeah I heard it was terrible on the 3D, luckily I had hboot 1.4 so I had s-off... Is it as terrible with the LTE? It seems to me that with clockworkmod recovery and htcdev unlock you are able to flash zips the same as with s-off. Don't know if I am correct on that though...
I thought I read that somewhere too. If that's the case HTC dev unlock would be fine with me.

Use TWRP. That recovery writes to boot, the security flag dont matter with this phone like it did with the 3D. Once your unlocked (HTC way) you can always relock very easily. The first time I flashed a recovery it stuck on the first try unlike the 3D with hboot 1.5.

Just to clarify: So unlocking via the HTC method, installing this and then un-rooting with the RUU (if necessary) won't show any evidence of 'tampering', correct?
It might not show any evedence but HTC will know, they keep track of what phones are unlocked. That's why you go through the whole process with the unlock codes.

Running the RUU will not downgrade. If it did why would they have had to make all of the complex steps to downgrade from 1.50.
Is there a way to make the RUU see the phone as a lower h-boot version without root access by tweaking the RUU exe. just a thought.

Like a previous poster responded, get s-off using the wire trick. It only takes five minutes once you setup. People who have done it wish they would have done it sooner.
Look the bottom line is if you want to go back to H-boot 1.40 you need to S-off.
Countless people in this thread have said that and you refuse to accept the fact your stuck on H-boot 1.58 until you S-off.

Download the 1.4 hboot, rename the file PG86IMG.zip (case sensitive) and place it on the root of your sd card. Make sure that the ROM you are running will boot with the 1.4 hboot first. If not, boot to recovery and flash one (the reason I suggest this is if you have an hboot 1.58 ROM on there and flash the 1.4 hboot, you'll get bootloops). Then, boot to bootloader and have it "update" to 1.4. Reboot and remove the file from the root of your sd card.

Bricking the phone with S ON will cause it to enter emmc mode in which an Hboot can be flashed.
But he should change the main version to the lower one before attempting to brick it.
After flashing the hboot, device will have been unbricked, but RUU still needs to be flashed.
It is possible, but whether there is a guide for this or not, I don't know; nor do I know if it is practically possible either.

My device is unlocked, rooted, hboot version 1.53.0007 and s-on. I try to flash rom via 4ext recovery touch. for every rom the boot image show up than restart with an infinite loop. How do i fix it ? The problem caused by hboot version or being s-on ? I don't want to mess up with s-off. I don't want to push my phone that far with wired stuff.
Thanks.
S-on is your issue, the only way you might be able to flash a rom without resulting in a boot loop is with 4ext with smart flash enabled but there's also the hboot which could cause issue too depending in which rom you flashed and also the firmware could also cause issues, so to sum up, go s-off already and do us all a favorite, makes life so much easier
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!
Best way to fix this is to get s-off using the wire trick then downgrade your hboot to 1.4 (I had the same issue and this fixed it). As flash said, use 4ext recovery. The wire trick isn't that bad, it's actually really easy.
Is there any proper tutorial that i can apply s-off to my phone ? Does the hboot version differ this process?

You need to downgrade your Hboot to install jb roms, and the only way to do it is with S-OFF, I did a few phones using the wire trick method and have not had any problems yet. S-OFF is well worth it if you want try different roms...

This guy is unbelievable. You have been posting redundant solutions that have already been suggested. If there's something different and more insightful that you can add please do so. Otherwise don't post. I know your trying to help but just wait until somebody hasn't had their issue resolved and do what I suggested.
Now I must lay down. My headache is killing me:crying:

This video. is what I used. And for the wire. I just used a piece of small copper wire with rubber on it. But it's the most informative video I've seen.
I had this problem as well.
Ultimately, the solution was to downgrade to hboot 1.49.0007 (from 1.57.xxxx).
