this is what my hboot says and im not sure why
LOCKED
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.11.0000
why is there a "RL" at the end of s-off
I don't know what the rl stands for and I'd like to know as well, but that is perfectly normal. I recommended the dev hboot if you intend to modify from here on out as unlocking with the htcdev will make it a pain to return to stock. (Relock, s-on, s-off then s-on again)

ive been s-off for a while now and i was on a modifided hboot with ics firmware and ics rom. i decided to downgrade my firmware to the 2.11 GB. after that is when the RL showed up at the end of s-off.
i never unlocked after s-offing and now its is acting like im locked and s-on.
i even had to flash recovery with fastboot as no other method would work.
i am going to unlock and s-off again. i just thought it was weird how it happend
nevermind, i just looked at a pic i had and the "RL" is there. i guess i just never noticed it before
Are you still s-off'd? Did you unlock yet? It's as easy as flashing a patched 2.11 hboot via ph98img to get fastboot commands to work again.
Do not bother to unlock once you have S-off. Trust me, just unwanted trouble.
Just flash a JuopunutBear hboot.
Edit: to elaborate just a bit, if you did need to do a warranty exchange or repair and wanted the bootloader to look stock by saying Locked/S-on:
Coming from Locked/S-off you'd just run a GB RUU and do a few fastboot commands to achieve S-on.
Coming from Unlocked/S-off, you'll need to do the RUU, relock bootloader, and do fastboot commands for S-on... then the whole S-off procedure again... then repeat RUU and fastboot S-on.

Followed the guide from Paul on Modac, while attempting to unlock the bootloader I ran into an error that was resolved by updating fastboot. I successfully rooted,flashed custom rom and booted. I noticed that while in bootloader I went from S-OFF to S-ON. The fast boot error came attempting " 'fastboot flash recovery revolutionary-cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.newhboot.img' " The error 'Locked' the bootloader. After I updated fastboot above command worked, BUT I was now back to S-On.
What part of the process should I redo in order to get S-OFF back?
What are my limitations with S-ON?
Any thoughts, comments, suggestions and especially solutions are appreciated.
Also the haptic buttons ( same row as pen button) do NOT work. They do not light and are not usable
Yeah the buttons don't work in honeycomb because you have the on screen buttons to do the job.
And It's normal to have s-on. HTC's method only unlocks the bootloader. I'm pretty sure you aren't able to flash kernels or something like that.

I was able to flash a custom rom.
Just got home from work. Revolutionary does not support the HC bootloader version 1.11.0006.
My question is, what part of the process caused my device to go from S-ON->S-OFF-> Back to S-ON?
I know I'm limited now, can I downgrade my bootloader version 1.11.0003 or 1.11.0000?
Thank for your help

When you first used revolutionary you got complete s-off, and then during the process of upgrading to honeycomb you flashed a new hboot which gave you s-on again because well..It's a new hboot. Lol. And the only way you can downgrade your hboot is to run the ruu for your model flyer to revert back to gingerbread. If you have the US 16gb version then you cannot go back to gingerbread because there isn't a ruu yet.
Hopefully I'm not confusing you more
Revolutionary does not support the HC bootloader version 1.11.0006.
but after unlock bootloader go htc dev.com and unlock bootloader from step by step guaid....after you see in fastboot
"""""""unlocked""""""""
FLYER PVT SHIP S-ON
And flash castom recovery
copy revolutionary-cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.newhboot.img in to dir (you create dir ,by htc dev guaid)
and run command in cmd
fastboot flash recovery revolutionary-cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.newhboot.img' this recovery support all castom Rom based on Honeycomb
S-Off not needed for you.
Sorry my bad English...

No not really confused by your explanation. What confuses me if is the process was suppose to give me S-OFF in the first place. I understand the logic of the new hboot being S-ON. But if you're following me you kinda see where I'm thinking 0_o lol.

So I'm not suppose to have S-OFF after running that command?
I think that's what he is saying. My bootloader was a totally different one. So I don't really have any knowledge. What I would do is go into the development forum and do a quick search and see if anyone answered the question or had a similar problem and fixed. It helps out a lot. I don't want to give you knowledge and mess anything up on your end.

haha the process of going to honeycomb was not supposed to give you s-off, simply an unlocked bootloader. I think i'm following you
My understanding of the situation is the hboot that is required to install HC sets s-on, and currently it is not possible to change it back to s-off without reverting back to the original hboot using the RUU. Even if you changed back to the original hboot, honeycomb would no longer boot.
At least, that's my understanding.
The only way right now to get S-OFF is with HBOOT versions 1.11.0000 and 1.11.0003. Since you have 1.11.0006, needed for running HC on the Flyer, Revolutionary doesn't support it, so right now you can only have the unlocked boot loader and S-ON. If you run the Revolutionary tool with HBOOT 1.11.0006, it will tell you it is not supported, and won't run.
The only way it would be supported is when the AlphaRev/Unrevoked team update their tool to support it. So running that command listed above does cause this, but it is required in order to run HC on the Flyer. Without it, I don't know if you'd have a $300 brick or what.

Thanks chief... I was just a little confused as the guides talked about permanent S-OFF... But if S-ON is how I'm suppose to be right now, then S-ON it is! lol...
I am in the same boat
Just Upgraded and noticed S-on as well...
what am I limited to with S-ON.. and whats the *UNLOCKED* mean?
*UNLOCKED*
FLYER PVT SHIP S_ON RL
HBOOT 1.11.006
MICROP 0850

*UNLOCKED*

I have exactly the same issue.
is there anyway out of S-ON?
I unlocked with HTCdev, installed AmonRa 3.15 recovery, flashed superuser through recovery, than S-offed with Jbear.
My bootloader showed unlocked until I s-offed. The last step of Jbear asked me if I wanted to install the Jbear modified hboot, however I took too long to answer, and it kicked me out. I am showing s-off, but locked.
Here is what my bootloader shows:
***LOCKED***

Whats my next step here? Do I need to load Jbear Hboot from unlimited.io for GB? I'm still on the latest GB OTA for the Rez.
Im going to run the ICS RUU to get the complete leak with radios, fireware and everything. So I will than need Jbear Hboot for ICS?
no, you dont need the Jbear Hboot

S-Off locked is the normal state after doing S-off. Be sure not to unlock your phone -- you will not be able to get back to "LOCKED" without doing S-Off again. You can either ICS RUU, then install the Jbear Hboot (be sure to use the right firmware version), or ICS RUU, then flash your recovery of choice via PH98IMG.zip. The first option gives you the normal fastboot commands. The second gives you a custom recovery with a stock Hboot.
Edit: Here's a post with the AR 3.15 in flashable zip format: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26261862&postcount=746
Just rename to PH98IMG.zip, put on the root of your SD card, and flash in bootloader.
Sweet, I hit S-off on my first shot. all while having sweaty hands, and checking my bank account to make sure I could afford a new phone.
It was far easier than I had expected.
So I bought a phone from a guy on Craigslist, while it works fine, there's something weird here. What I want to do is have it S-OFF, but here's whats up:
Bootloader is HBOOT 2.21.0000. It says ***UNLOCKED*** but also it says ***TAMPERED***. Also it says VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
Everything seems to be working fine; it currently has CleanROM 4.3 on it. I'm afraid to start doing anything until I know where to start. I *THINK* what I need to do is the following:
1. fastboot oem lock the bootloader
2. Flash latest ICS leak RUU twice.
3. Follow the Juopounut guide for S-OFF using the 2.21.0000 modified HBOOT
Does this sound right? Thanks for your help!
If its already unlocked, stay unlocked. Relocking it is going backwards toward s-off. Once s-off you will have a locked bootloader. I did not install the jbear modified hboot. I installed Amon ra as a ph img after s-off and ics ruu
You should just follow the jbear s-off instructions since you already have unlock
S-off prior to ics is my preferred method, if something goes wrong with the ruu, you're stuck.
Also, no need to unlock once you have s-off
I got it. I wanted to go back to the newest leak and then proceed. I flashed the latest leak RUU and then re-unlocked.
The ***TAMPERED*** appears once I flashed the amon-ra recovery. Guess thats normal on the ICS builds...
Mine does not show tampered. I am s-off, locked, ics 3.14 firmware with ruu hboot, amon ra recovery, running newts one xxx

Yep mine doesn't either. I'm just guessing but I think it might only been the 3.11.605.22 leak that did that.
Sent from my Sense4 ICS Rezound
Mine doesn't show it now that its truly S-OFF. Thanks all!
Hi Everyone. Now I'm on stock hboot 1.53.0007 S-ON and I'd like to do S-OFF. I understand that i should unlock via HTC Dev, then root and after that S-OFF. But my question is how does the bootloader looks after S-OFF via JuopunutBear? Does it make LOCKED and S-OFF? If not what should I do (if it's possible) to go back for a locked bootloader (not relocked)? And if JuopunutBear makes bootloader LOCKED i should be able to flash RUU, than use fastboot oem writesecure flag 3 to make S-ON and that's all? Cheers

You are most correct sir. After you perform the wire trick the end result is a "locked" bootloader with s-off. With s-off you can flash any version of your carrier and regions ruu. Definetely right after you flash ruu you would fastboot and use that command to get back on s-on. I hope I answered your questions. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need more help. Peace.
Please hit the thank you button if I helped you in anyway.
One more thing. When it comes to the end of S-OFF via JuopunutBear there is a question: Do you want to install juopunutbear modified hboot? What will happen when I'm going to choose No? I will be on stock locked hboot with S-OFF? What pros are with Juopunutbear modified hboot? And I understand that if I want to get rid of Juopunutbear hboot I must flash RUU? Cheers
With s-off you can flash any hboot you desire by renaming the file PG86IMG.zip, place it on root of sd, reboot bootloader.
Jbear hboots accept more adb commands than stock.
sudo passwd root
I need to relock my cell to S-ON as I need to send my cell to HTC for repairs as my GPS stopped working. How do I do that if I accomplished S-OFF with jbear and HTCDev method.
Thanks!

You need to start by flashing the 2.89.651.2 RUU, either using the RUU.exe from Windows or an RUU.zip renamed to PG86IMG.zip from the bootloader. If you didn't do the htcdev unlock again after the wire trick, the stock bootloader should show ***LOCKED*** with a version of 1.58. Since you are only getting the phone serviced, it's probably OK to leave it S-OFF, but if you want it 100% stock you need to issue the following command after you have verified that the bootloader is 1.58:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
Once you have issued this command your phone will be S-ON and you will have to do the wire trick again after you get it back to be S-OFF. My understanding is that most repair facilities, including Sprint, don't mind if you give it to them S-OFF. However, if you are sending it back to HTC it might be worth doing since with stock software, a locked bootloader and S-ON it will look "factory fresh" to them.
You might also want to test your GPS again once everything is back to stock, just to make sure it's not a ROM problem.
