You don't think it'll unroot me? I'm trying not to flash one but I suppose I could do that.

It'll un-root you. But have to use the same RUU that goes with your hboot. So it doesn't get affected.
Don't use RUU.exe's. It'll put you s-on... Unless that's what you want.

Why the ruse? If you are trading it in to Best Buy, then why does it matter if you are not rooted. They would probably prefer the phone s-on and stock anyway.

my girlfriend's phone just told her that there is an update available she has the latest software and hboot 1.5. The update is 9.3 mb. Does anyone know what this is? I downloaded it on her 3D, she is not unlocked or rooted. I rooted my 3D via 1.5 S-on HTC method. Is there a way to take it apart and analyze it. Heard rumors of random ota that revert hboot.

She still on 2.08 ? Why not update to 2.17 ? Then take root? The latest ota is 2.17 which updates a bit of stuff and removes the CIQ thingy....
Is there anything possibly in this that will help get s off? It is update. Maybe some clues. Can I upload the file via the XDA app?

I doubt it the guy that said he had a update of the such wasn't true...
His phone was a previously owned device that had S-off already the store sold him one that was returned in that 14day period...
So it was already rooted prior to him buying it.. With S-off lets you do some more playin around... The person that owned it before him had rooted it with the REV method on root... So that was how he been boucing back and forth on the hboot thing...

From what I read newer radios offer better reception all the other stuff. I prefer to stay on the latest updates that come out. Really can't break a radio down in difference. Newer generally better .

There is other ways to update.. I prefer to wipe not the SD. Then RELOCK and use the lateset RUU 2.17 CDMA exe then redo the unlock code and flash a recovery then
fastboot boot recovery.img and wipe and flash rom

From what i heard , you dont need to relock or unroot then re-unlock, then re-root. You can just flash stock recovery and take the update, if bootloader gets locked then unlock it again.
I might be wrong but thats what i have heard.....i mean read.

You'll get a new code. Just follow the same steps as before.

Best suggestion is to save it to your fastboot file easiest way to save the coffee for later the you should be able to use the same one. I've done every update through the RUU and never gotten a new code. Its been the same since day one.

Just out of curiosity, is it actually a new code or is it just going through the same process? I thought the ID that you had to send in was essentially just a unique ID for the phone itself.

Just flash a kernel and Rom based on the old firmware, and flash the old radios if you are s off.

Since we have the original file, has anyone tried to RUU back/downgrade to the previous version? I feel like this is too obvious and won't work.

Yeap there's safeguards in place to keep people from flashing firmware older than what's currently installed on a locked device.

I offered $20 to the first person to post a working exploit to unlock the bootloader after taking the OTA. Just thought I would repost this offer here. I prob won't monitor both threads. PM me if you posted first and want the cash! Thanks in advance.

You should contact the guy who was offering to s off via the oem jtag method. His price was very reasonable, and a quick turnaround. His thread is titled something along the lines of "S-off for the impatient"
His s off service wasn't much more expensive than the $20 you put up for bounty money.

In the past I had an epic 4g and the root process was completely different. But I just got this phone and it was already rooted and is running a custom rom right now. I want to flash one of the jb rims but when I go into hboot it still says locked on the top of the screen. To my understanding doesn't the bootloader need to be unlocked in order to flash anything? (I can also boot into the 4ext recovery)

Ok guys, I've looked everywhere so don't flame me please, lol. My wife needs to return her phone cuz it won't hardly charge. How do I get back to stock? Meaning, where do I find the stock Rom, how do i do it etc. Thanks in advance for the help.

Even if the phone is rooted. If it's an actual charger port issue then Tmobile would replace it anyways. I think. But first return to STOCK by flashing the RUU. (I would give you a link but I'm sure you will find it faster on your computer then I would on my phone).
I'm never too sure though. I think there is a way to change the bootloader to-day "LOCKED" but idk what it was.

Hey have you flashed correct RUU.??
Bcoz many people tried it and it is worked for them very well..
Try again.
No issue of relocked.
Bcoz relock status will be shown if you lock your bootloader through oem lock process.
Try to follow next step...
