Hi,
Ive been meaning to S-Off my HTC ReZound in order to RUU back to Stock and hopefully get a replacement phone due to some issues. I only have a Macbook Pro but I do have Parallel 7 installed running Windows 8 Release Preview. I also have the necessary Fastboot and ABD files to HTCdev unlock and run commands. I just want to know how I can go about S-Off-ing my device, if possible, on my Mac
The follow is what my phone is currently at/running. Some detailed instructions on how to would be much appreciated. Thanks
S-ON

Yea I read all that, wondering which download/rom to use and if I'm on a correct firmware..
Looks like you're on ICS with 2.21 HBOOT. Get the ICS version...
This is an older thread but I'm reviving it as a mac user. I just recently got my (very old) original Intel imac back from my inlaws as they upgraded to a refurbished mac. The screen is going, and it can't be upgraded anymore to a higher OS as is not a Core Duo 2 chip. Anyway, as I don't have space to partition my Mac Air (yes I'm a Mac fanboy, but iphone hater) I used to have bootcamp on the old iMac and used to run windows XP on it. Back then I was first transitioning to Mac, so I wasn't going cold turkey. I'm windows free and have been for a while. Long story....getting to the point here, if I can find my old XP disc, I can reinstall Windows on it. Is it possible to S-off with Unlimited's Juopunutbear with XP? Again, I've been out of the Windows game for a while, so give me slap if I sound silly. I'm about ready to get this thing S-off and do the ROM thing again (Darn I miss the ease of my Dinc). My phone crapped out the other day and I was stuck on a white HTC screen, so I had to relock and run the global RUU again. But I'd like to try roms on the stock firmware, and with the most recent release, I'm sure some Roms might be built from that too.
Sugarhill, I may have missed it but was your rezound previously s-off? I only ask because you do not have to re s-off ever if your rez was s-off before. Unless you flashed a non engineering bootloader and ran the lock command from fastboot.

No Stang, I was never S-off on my Rezound. I'm a Mac only household, and my work computer (windows...and I barely use it) cannot download or install stuff without administrator privileges so I've never been able to S-off. I'd like to, and with the reaquisition of my old iMac, it has been previously licensed to run my copy of Windows XP on it through apple's bootcamp program.
I miss my dinc and getting your rooted versions of updates for it.

Ah ok, gotcha. Well even if it an older mac, how about just install Ubuntu on it and use the linux version of j bear's s-off? I don't really know if thats possible, but I do know the s-off does support ubuntu, I just don't know if it supports XP...
Yeah either install Ubuntu or find a copy of windows from the zeraw mart

Well then, let me be the first to introduce you to a whole new world of linux, by way of the flavor we all know as Ubuntu.
Download, burn to disk or thumb drive and install. Real easy

I know you're trying to help me, but I'm just not getting it. Still no idea what you're saying. Just read an article about somebody dual booting Ubuntu 12.04 on an original intel imac just fine. So I'm going to try that this weekend, and see if I can't finally get this thing S-off. I used to try Roms left and right on my Dinc. While I use my phone now more than ever during the day than I did back then, I won't be able to change quite so often, but some of the Roms I've looked into seem pretty awesome.

I'm sorry Embargho101, I don't quite understand where you're stuck. I'm happy to help. There are ISO burning instructions in post 3 (as well as instructions for doing the downgrade). You'll reboot your computer with the CD in your drive. This should boot up into the CD instead of Windows. If it doesn't, you may have to change the boot device or boot order on your computer. Typically, mashing down F12 while the computer is booting will bring up the boot menu. From there, you can select to boot from the CD-ROM drive. It does very from computer to computer though.

That's one of my major reasons for S-OFF. Flashing ROMs requires no extra magic on the to make it work. I can restore NANDroid backups from anywhere (Especially nice when Boot Manager doesn't like moving back to a ROM in another slot). You have the ability to flash radios. Oh, and also, if you haven't already unlocked your bootloader using HTC's method, they won't know that you unlocked.
Just for the sheer convenience of being able to flash ROMs without anything extra, it's worth it.

You need to boot into the CD. Before you boot into Windows, it'll give you the option to boot from another drive (on my desktop it's ESC, and on my laptop it's F12).

just out of curiosity.... why was this such an issue again? I have downgrade 3 devices using this method, with no issues.
and why would you want to re-lock your device? i don't get it.

I haven't heard of any issues with the rev unless you try it on a hboot above 1.5. 1.5 andlower should go over just fine as it has every time I have done it which must be about thirty times now. So idk . . .
I cant seem to get by this step. Stuck on step 9 of DirtyRacun
My RUU.zip is in the Dirtyracun folder on Ubuntu LiveCD and have verified the checksum. Ihave seen by a google search that other people outher have had this problem (pastebin) but I havent been able to find a solution. Can anyone help me? Everry thing has worked in the s-off process til now...
Have you tried the support channel? Are you on 3.16? If not you can use FacePalm
I had firefox crash on me and this RUU takes forever to download. Right now I am stuck at the HTC logo and cant move forward. I have tried the IRC but i sat there for 30 min looking at no response. I have downloaded this thing 4 times now.
if I ty fastboot reboot, it tells me I ont have fastboot installed? I wouldnt mind trying something else if I could get my phone back!
Hmmmm I never used DirtyRacun so can't really help much IRC is your only choice sorry
Edit did you try flushing it again?
Yes, like 3 or 4 times!..Downloading again...
Any luck?
Any luck yet? I'm getting the same error.

do you have htc sync installed? it seems that you need to have this installed to have the phone recognized for fastboot it happened to me and I have used dirty racun twice as I had my evo replaced twice this month, install it and then try to run the fast boot commands, good luck!
Mac problem?
Could the problem is that I'm running Ubuntu from my MAC? See this post:
Can't post the link, but found this on androidforums:
That's based on HTCdev unlock, so as mentioned, use MyBackup Pro and SMS Backup+ to save what you may, that unlock will do a factory data reset, all user data and apps will go away.
That will give you full root, with an s-on unlocked bootloader.
The option to get a s-off unlocked bootloader is only open to you if you have a Windows platform to run the Dirty Racun tool - either in Windows mode or from a Live CD using Ubuntu. (This has to do with how the Mac platform maps access to the usb ports, the Unlimited.IO team's stuff doesn't support it.)
If you do have a PC and want to try Dirty Racun, go here -

- I have Windows 8. I do not know how to run Linux or ubuntu.
- My phone is Hboot 2.09 with S-on and is 3.16. Oh, it is rooted, unlocked.
- I am trying to get CM10 loaded onto it.
I am very excited to be here and to be learning all of these things. I am perfectly willing to take the phone back to factory restore if I have to and start from the beginning or if someone wants to give me a little info on how to run Linux beside Windows, that would help too. Oh and then there is the minor problem of how to downgrade from 3.16.

Okay so I have been trying to root and I have tried everything I can find.
I have a fully upgraded phone so Revolutionary won't work for me out of the box and so I am trying to HTCDev unlock.
The problem though, is that I can't get Windows 8.1 to recognize my device. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times trying to get it to work. ADB works fine and can see the Thunderbolt but fastboot will not.
Nothing I have found has changed anything.
I also have a laptop with Ubuntu, would that work better?
You need to do it from a Windows 7 or lower computer. In order for the bolt to be seen in fastboot on Windows 8 it would require an update to the fastboot drivers on the phone which is very very unlikely.

Yes it should. Although, to unlock, s off and root ics on the bolt revolutionary isn't going to work straight up. You will have to downgrade the hboot version in order to be fully unlocked.

That is exactly what I needed to know. You need to go to infectedrom.com and use the guide that is there to unlock and s off. The problem with what you posted earlier is that even if you unlock with HTCdev your hboot is going to prevent revolutionary from working. You have to downgrade your hboot in order to use Revolutionary.

Okay, so I'm almost to the end...I'm to the point of putting the .19 ROM on my sd card and loading it into hboot.
What happens is that it recognizes it, loads it, checks it, and then goes back to hboot.
The suggestions from the post I am following say to try reformatting the SD card, or a different image. I have done both. Any other suggestions?
And by the way, thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

Make sure you don't have the file named PG05IMG.zip.zip
Windows, by default, hides well known file extensions, so it may have gotten zip attached to it twice, one of which is not visible.
So remove the visible ".zip" extension and try again...

Gotta downgrade the hboot to 1.4 and main version to 1.13 to be able to run Revolutionary S-OFF
Not the easiest process but you can do it. Lucky for you I just finished rooting my sprint CDMA with hboot 1.58 with the help of a couple other members. So I put together a step by step summary of how to do it. It involves bricking the phone intentionally, then booting up to linux and running the downgrade tool through the linux terminal, then upgrading the main version to 1.13, running REVOLUTIONARY S-OFF, then finally reupgrading everything back to stock(hboot 1.58 and main version 2.95)

Use URTLiveCD 1.0 which is included in unknownforce's thread. Just one boot disk tool, no ubuntu needed

so it looks as tho i cant write this to a cd because my cd drive i think is bad or what not ugh.. guess ill try my ubuntu way was there anything special you had to do while you were in ubuntu?
Yep you can do it through the ubuntu terminal. I did it this way too. You'll need to follow the instructions in unknown forces thread. Carry over the URT tool(ultimate.zip) to the home folder in ubuntu and run it through the ubintu terminal
Phone needs to be bricked before running URT

Did you brick the phone?
Yes you can use the trial version. You just need the linux terminal. When running the URT tool in linux, it will recognize the phone and give confirmation it has downgraded the bootloader...follow the instructions carefully in unknownforces downgrade thread

Yeah I was skeptical too...after you brick you can run it through the URT in ubuntu and boot up to hboot 1.4

Pull power 4-5 seconds during the time when it says updating bootloader
Important to note; don't try and boot up regularly after downgrading with URT. As in just pressing power, you will get security warning and be back on hboot 1.58 and have to start all over again. Always vol down + power boot to the bootloader throughout the process.

It will take a few tries...you may have to brick a second time too, if URT didn't lower your main version as well. That's in step 3, you will need to check your main version before running the 1.13 RUU

It is a different PG86IMG file than the one he uses in the video. Smaller and lighter / less load time.
Be sure you are pulling the power at the time it is updated "bootloader" and not any other option in the list.
Yeah it's frustrating but it can be done
What is phone's carrier btw?
