I've search around online about this but I don't know if the information is out dated.
I've looked at AlphaRev and "Revolutionary" both indicate it's not supported at this time.
I've got ROOT & a custom ROM, but S-OFF would make things so much easier.
Don't worry about s-off hboot 1.01 can't be done unless you use xtclip.
Go and look at the threads about hboot 1.02 that's the free way to unlock bootloader, this is almost the same as s-off.

I think that HTC now support this with an updated boot loader.
I checked: www htcdev com / bootloader
and the HTC Legend is now listed.
Unfortunately I'll need to Unroot first.
Has anyone tried this successfully?
No you do not need to unroot your phone, look for a post by blay0, tells u exactly what to do.

And guys, you don't need to complicate that much with all that flashing back and forth. It works with any custom ROM rooted or not, you just need to make the right approach. You don't even need to remove the battery. The only requirements are account on HTCdev, bootloader RUU and operational adb/fastboot environment. And NO, you will not loose the root.
So here are the steps:
do a nandroid (at least data partition)
download the bootloader RUU from HTCdev and run it
search for rom.zip in your profile directory (it was extracted from RUU after you had run it)
connect the phone to your computer
copy that rom.zip to phone's sdcard renaming it to LEGEIMG.zip (mind the case)
reboot to bootloader from command prompt (adb reboot bootloader)
current bootloader should find the LEGEIMG.zip and ask you to upgrade bootloader
after upgrade is done switch to fastboot (use up/down and power buttons)
reboot bootloader from command prompt (fastboot reboot-bootloader)
at this point you end up in new bootloader which is still locked
follow the instructions on HTCdev from Step 8 to unlock
After that you need to boot into recovery, restore data partition and you're back in the saddle.

If anyone finds this thread instead of the original discussion from Feb.
I successfully unlocked my bootloader which allows writing to system from a booted Rom instead of just from clockwork recovery or fastboot / adb.
key items,
you need to compete HTC's procedure excluding step 14(re locking)
if your on a custom Rom, make a android backup
follow BlaY0 instructions as a workaround of HTC's update program.
now i tested with Adaway successfully.
as for my data partition, i might have an old copy backed up but this might be a good excuse to partition my sd card so i can install more apps. I've heard 512MB would be a good size for my 4GB card.
(I have a 8GB card but my legend informs me that it has been ejected when the camera app tried to write a photo. where i had used that card in Nokia phones for years. anyone with a legend knows how physically unpractical that is without the battery being disconnected.)

What is the difference between s-off and unlocked bootloader?
Unlocked bootloader gives write access to the system partition which s-on would protect if it was mounted read only.
S-off disables the protection feature including being able to unlock your phone from your service provider ( if it happens to be).
I just needed write access to system to make updates easier (adaway, ad-hoc enabler, etc)

That's good news then since the reason I wanted S-OFF is so I can install stuff or remove stuff from the ROM I am currently using without manually removing and installing the apps onto a ROM from my PC then install it on the phone.
I'm now using S-ON Unlocked and AdAway didn't crash so it's working for me now.
The sole reason I wanted to root now works.
2 years wait but finally it works, I can now store my alarms, ringtones on the phone and don't have to worry about using USB diskdrive without losing the ringtones since the SD card is in use.
What guide did you use to unlock your bootloader? Was it complicated? And does having a custom rom (CM9 Beta) matter when unlocking it.

First of all the rom you choose to flash has nothing to do with unlocking bootloader (not sure what you meant there). I've rooted my phone a year ago so the boot locker method wasn't available then but I can tell you the previous method was a lot more tedious and took a few days to figure it out. The boot loader guides are already posted in this forum section so check it asap

The first "root" which was gained on the Eris was via a leaked HTC "Engineering" ROM which had the 1.49.2000 S-OFF bootloader. An "S-OFF" bootloader has normal security checks suppressed, so that you can use the "fastboot" utility with the phone's bootloader in "FASTBOOT USB" mode to write to various partitions, including the recovery partition. In addition, that same Engineering ROM allowed you to obtain a root shell via the "adb" (Android Device Bridge) tool in the SDK, so you could also write to partitions (including the recovery partition) with the OS of the phone booted.
The way that rooting occurred in most of the early cases was similar to what we do now: as a first step, the recovery boot partition is replaced with a custom recovery (Amon_RA v1.6.2), and then after that a replacement OS is flashed via the (Amon_RA) recovery boot. In a way, the S-OFF bootloader was sort of "free" - you had to apply the Root-ROM (PB00IMG.ZIP) file to the phone using the bootloader HBOOT mode, and this would flash all partitions on the phone.
In any event, if you look at earlier posts, they are dominated by discussions of "what bootloader version do you have" - because if you had a 1.46.0000 S-ON, or 1.47.0000 S-ON bootloader, it was possible to apply the Root-ROM flash using HBOOT; whereas if you had jumped the gun and applied any of the other HTC 2.1 Test release ROMs (which became known as "Leak-V1", "Leak-V2", or "Leak-V3", and had a 1.49.0000 S-ON bootloader installed as a result of that), then it was impossible to apply the "Root ROM" to the phone using HBOOT.
The newly-discovered methods exploit a different hole in the booting of the main OS, so the bootloader is not touched - a permission bug is exploited so that the recovery partition can be overwritten by any user on the phone (root isn't even needed!). Therefore, the recovery partition can be replaced without flashing the entire phone (just as it was in "the wayback").
So, if you look through those old threads where someone asked "I think I rooted, but I am not sure", other folks in the know would ask "does your bootloader say S-ON or S-OFF?"
But now we can gain privilege on the phone by directly overwriting the recovery partition with a custom recovery , and then booting that (which always has root privilege). You can now get a "rooted" recovery, and then a "rooted" ROM installed afterward onto the phone without ever touching the bootloader.
In practice, nobody has been able to detect any noticeable dependencies of the OS on version of the bootloader; if you can get a new OS installed onto the phone by hook or by crook, neither the bootloader nor the OS seem to care what the version of the other is.
That's the long explanation for "you don't need to worry too much about it any longer".
Having an S-OFF bootloader provides just a little bit more flexibility for emergency recovery of the phone; on the other hand, flashing the bootloader is the absolute most dangerous flashing operation that happens on the phone. Everything on the phone springs to life via the bootloader - it has to be intact for anything else on the phone to work.
So, I'd say - "don't worry, be happy". And leave your bootloader as it is.

You downgraded and then you unlocked the bootloader? Had never heard of doing any phone in that order
FWIK and from my personal experience with HTCDEV unlock is that you will never have S-Off, not without an Eng-HBoot. Hacked HBoot's and other exploits can help gain it but "S-On" is in reference to a security feature in relation to the kernel and recovery partition, it was a safety measure to (in theory) keep you from bricking your phone by flashing an unstable kernel on it through recovery mode and possibly being unable to restore your previous nand by effing your recovery up. That is a simplified explanation and not all the reasons but you get the idea. I hope you can get it fixed. Best way to try to fix it is to go back and start from the beginning with just getting an Eng-HBoot or a hacked one that will allow writing to the secure kernel partition through recovery (one that will allow you to copy the NAND part of your device and it's kernel, htcdev unlock only allows nand no matter what the recovery's log says), if you can't do that then try using fastboot in a cmd window to boot a saved recovery image from the fastboot directory on your computer, that may allow you to fix your issues, good luck, hope it helps

Have you tried using fastboot as a way to reboot the bootloader? I mean, my big thing is if you can get the pg img for the eng-hboot then you should be able to put it on your SD and then reboot the bootloader to let it try to boot the Pg, I know that I had a panic moment on the original EVO before they figured out a downgrade fix that I nearly bricked it, it wouldn't run the PG img check on first boot of the bootloader until I used fastboot to actually reflash the partitions on the phone (i may hate heimdall when I am working with samsungs but fastboot damn near broke me ha) the best thing to do it get a more intimate knowledge of the process and of fastboot and adb, they are great things to know how to use. Like I said I don't have a Thunderbolt but in dealing with HTC and HTCDEVs unlock tool I am pretty knowledgeable after working with it multiple times, I do know I had to downgrade my EVO (original) by manual partition flashing after I used the HTCDEV unlock tool, it unlocked the bootloader to allow me to boot what I flashed, but the kernel partition was still secure (S-On) this is what the tool, it seems that it was an attempt to cover their ass to ensure that those who don't know what their doing couldn't fully eff things up without more knowledge of the system and could reverse anything that may be unstable.
You can unlock your htc legend at HTC DEV.
Once the new file is installed and the phone is s-off, how do I re-root the phone?
Exactly! Also my question! They want you to upgrade your Bootloader which will disable you from rooting (all methods I've heard of require old versions Bootloader).
Any solution before we dive into this WONDERFUL UNLOCKED REALM?
Hi, just signed up to HTC dev to see what's going on with bootloader unlock, I started the procedure but told me it wants to delete everything on my phone, bugger that.
This is HTC official root method, it says you can load custom rom's and change the recovery but it is still s-on to protect the radio and sim lock (network).
Now if u are not already rooted then its gonna make it hard, esspecialy to backup, however we still have revolutionary temp root to backup with titanium.
For those already rooted, I'm not sure if there is any advantage, except you can flash custom recovery, we have fakeflash so not much point IMO.
Oh, just realised it gives unrestricted access to /system folder so that might make it worth while after all..

Do you plan on doing it on yours?
I noticed that there is also a wifi security update out for the legend too,
The bootloader unlock is 3.15.405.5, and the wifi fix is 3.15.405.6, so I guess it has to be in that order or the bootloader unlock wont run.
Good,Now my phone has hboot unlocked, but is there a way to disable the security flag and finally get SOFF now ?
Stevenstrike,
Did you install that update on top of your cm custom rom?
Any problems at all?
No
Just find a HTC stock rom for your legend, then update the rom via OTA if needed, then try to apply the hboot update, after that use the htcsupertoolv3 to gain perm root, and if you want, flash cwm fastboot to access cwm as recovery.

After I unlock my Legend with HTCDev,
I used the wildfire path on unrevoked.com
unrevoked installed clockwork mod and everything, so I just needed to put the cyanogenmod zip on my sd card and install from recovery.
very easy
I did pretty much the same thing as ranger4740. I used HTCSuperTool v3 to gain root but had problems flashing CWM Recovery from the stock recovery. So I did a bit of researching and ended up having to put my phone into fastboot and use adb to push the recovery image onto my Legend and flash it. After that I've had no problems with my rooted Legend Once I'm able to post links (because I'm still pretty new here) I hope to write a full updated root guide
The unrevoked method is seriously the easiest one and I've tried heaps of methods
Took me a half hour and I was playing with cyanogen 7.
I can put up some instructions if u like, but it would have to wait until I get back to the laptop, and honestly, its incredibly straight forward.

Check your hboot. If your hboot is less than 1.00 than unrevoke is the fastest way. Dont bother to bootloader unlock phone via htcdev. Since unrevoke also flash a cwm recovery. You can flash any rom directly from there.
But else follow the htc dev guide to unlock bootloader. Once your bootloader got unlocked. Use fastboot to flash your recovery to cwm. With this cwm recovery you can flash cm7 directly.
Before htcdev gave bootloader unlock for our legend, The only reason i found why we of thouse with hboot 1.00 and above need to downgrade to eclare is to also downgrade stock recovery to e2 from e3 which came during froyo. Because our cwn fakeflash update.zip only able to load from e2. Thus from eclare you can flash cm7.
The guides are there. Its already there. Many of us has use it successfully.

Hi yall,
So you just got that brand new rezound, you've used it for a few days and you are figuring that you need to change something about it. This is a very simple guide to unlocking bootloader and getting s-off. This guide assumes that you are still on gingerbread. But first we define the terms
What is bootloader and why do I have to unlock it
Bootloader is simply a basic level of security that is put in place by HTC to ensure that roms that are not signed by HTC cannot be flashed. Unlocking the boot loader allows you to flash custom roms,
What is s-off and why I need it
S-ON is the second level of security that HTC places in their phones. S-On means that you will have a hard time flashing custom kernels and radios.
RUU
To put it simply, this is a ROM developed by hTC and signed, again, by HTC.
So we now have a fair understanding of this three big words that you see been thrown around in the forums. Lets go on.
Do you have bootloader unlocked? Very simple way to verify. Power off your phone and then press POWER and VOL- simultaneously. This will bring you to a white screen. This is bootloader. At the very top, you will find something similar to this:
***LOCKED***
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL
This means your bootloader is locked and you have s-on.
Before taking any other step, lets flash the ICS leak so as to update the firmware. This will save you a lot of trouble later with old/new firmware later on. Note, this is only if you have both bootloader and s-on.
Download any RUU in the links below
http://www.mediafire.com/?s8gttwdf32fx8
Links courtesy of uToTMeH8
select the ics 3.11 link and download all the links in that page.
Do you have winrar installed? I f you have, simply double click the part1.rar and it will automtically recombine all the files into one file that is approximately 610Mb. Rename the file to PH98IMG and copy it into your sd card. Do not put it in any file!
Now power down your phone and reboot into bootloader as described above. You remember, right?
The phone will automatically detect the RUU and will begin installation. Click the power button when it asks you to and give it some time. The installation process takes anywhere from 5-10minutes. Your are now on the new firmware!!!
Now the next step is to unlock the bootloader. Boot up your phone. The quickest way to avoid the setup process is to boot the phone without the simcard. After you have skipped the set up process, go to settings--->developer options and enable USB debugging.
Now download this simple application the rezound all in one kit
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504824
Once download is complete, right click on it and run as administrator. Follow the processes from 1to5. This should unlock your bootloader. Once bootloader is unlocked, go to the extras menu and click the permroot and run.
If at any one time you find the programme unresponsive, simply close it and open agin as administrator.
Note that the unlock_code that you download must be placed in the data folder of the program inorder to unlock the bootloader.
Also, install a custom recovery, preferably AMonRa. This makes it easy to flash ROMs.
The next step is to get s-off. Follow the proceedure here
http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/instructions/htc-rezound/
Once you get s-off, you are now ready to go to the development section and install roms. Test a few ROMs until you find one that suits your tastes. We are unique after all.
Just place the rom you have downloaded in your sd card and boot into recovery using the rezound all in one kit by selecting reboot into recovery. Scroll down to the flash zip menu and select the ROM.
Press the power button to confirm ROM installation and voila! Welcome to your first custom ROM
Warning
After unlocking bootloader and s-off, the two basic security checks, you need to always check the MD5 of any custom rom you download just to make sure that all files are intact. The MD5 checksum is usually a string of numbers that confirm the zip file integrity. Most devs usually post the MD5 checksum on the download page of the ROM. Download the application from the following link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?doyvy4ird10j8ym
To check the MD5 checksum, copy the string of characters and numbers and run the program. It will immediately paste the characters in the first slot. Select the ROM you have downloaded by clicking the browse button. The application will run and tell you whether the chesum matches or not. If it does not match, DO NOT FLASH THE ROM
Redownload the rom and verify the checksum again
Any questions? Just ask and I will do my best to answer them
Just wanna say good job. Many people will be happy. I could've used this when I first got my rezound. Most instruction threads don't put things in noob terms like you did. Good job.
