Ok, I'm really curious about this. I want to quickly know what ROMs can be flashed to a phone that is HTC Dev Unlocked and S-On.
Currently running MeanROM 1.91 (and HTC Dev Unlocked & S-On), but I would really like to run Cyanogenmod on it.
I understand you can flash the radio in an S-On phone, but it has to be done in recovery, vs doing it in the bootloader with an S-Off phone.

You can flash whatever ROM you want, as long as you have a custom recovery.
And you can flash radios through recovery as long as your HBOOT isn't the one from the latest OTA (1.15). In that case, you can't.
You can. just backup, and do a full wipe, and and flash.

I think the only thing you gain with s-off is the ability to update your firmware.

I got my phone a week ago (actually on the 13th), and as soon as I got it, I let it do the updated to 1.22.
I have TWRP 2.2 as my recovery. HBoot is 1.15. In that case, is there any ability at all to update the radio to something newer?

Well, currently there isn't a newer radio, but if there was, you'd have to relock and take whatever the new OTA would be to upgrade your firmware (including radio).
Radios cannot be flashed through recovery with the new 1.15 HBOOT, nor can splash screens or kernels.

So, to relock, I would have to follow one of the threads on unrooting and relocking the phone? You can't do that by just re-flashing the stock ROM (its how it worked with my LG Optimus S and Motorola Photon 4G)?
The point is, I want to run CM9 or 10 once it becomes stable for this phone (when camera, MMS, and everything else works)

Actually, you don't have to re-lock to take an OTA, if you're on stock. But being as though you want to run a custom ROM, you'd have to nandroid backup your current setup. Relock the bootloader ("fastboot oem lock"), and then flash the latest RUU, at which point you'd be updated to the latest firmware.

I'm sure there will be.
So, the process would be:
1.) relock the bootloader
2.) flash the latest RUU
3.) unlock the bootloader, and re-root
4.) flash to the latest CM9/10 port (and install the latest gapps)

I'm brand new to this phone and the rezound section on xda. I bought two of these phones yesterday and have both of them S=OFF at the moment. (Last night's fun)
In hboot they say "locked" even though S=OFF on both devices. I'd like to install an ICS ROM, but I'm not really sure what I need to install first before installing the ROM so it doesn't get all messed up.
I remember installing/flashing something on my Sensation to get ICS running on that device, but I'm just a little confused with the steps in the Development section because I'm new here.

woah wait what
what are you guys saying?
I was stock,GB,rooted, SOFF.
my hboot said 's-off' and '***LOCKED***'.
you don't need to do anything special, you are s-off!
just get the 600mb ph98img.zip from the latest leak and drop it on your SD card.
it'll have to flash twice (first reboot after boot/recovery is flashed, then it does the rest the second time through)
that's how i went to the leak, still locked and s-off. and it runs great!

So its just that simple for those of us SOFF and GB?
1) Put the PHxxxx.zip image on the SD
2) Boot it into HBoot twice (not flashing via recovery)
3) Flash over our favorite ICS Rom
No patches, no nothing? Is this right?

Do I install an ENG hboot... Do I install a ICS RUU file or a GB one? I'm assuming the bigger the number the newer RUU?

Is there something wrong with the Custom ROMs? (Please Developers don't stone me)
I just came from a device with tons of custom ROMs that were way better than anything stock and would install a kernel and everything through recovery when you were installing the ROM...
I'm just not used to the process yet with this device.
I don't think there's anything wrong with them.
I just haven't taken the plunge yet, still researching.... regardless, Once you're fully up to date on the latest RUU, going to a custom rom based on it will be a piece of cake. But i'm not sure the developers have updated their roms to all the latest leaks, in which case, check with the rom you're trying to upgrade to - I'm not certain they all include new kernels/radios...etc. like the leaked ICS does.

Great question, let me test that right now.
Edit: seems to not work straight up with the one from the market. i'll check a different .apk that I have here, i know the custom roms use their own .apk's usually.
as i recall from doing this on GB, you gotta configure it right, and then it'll work. But you DO need root, so after you RUU, install AmonRA 3.15, and run the su/superuser install from the recovery menu.
This thread is regarding RUU for HTC devices.
I've seen some similar threads but could not fully get the answer I was looking for.
From what I already understand, a RUU updates the ROM, the H-BOOT possibly and updates the recovery with a stock recovery. It cannot do anything that a BL-Unlocked user cannot do through adb or fastboot because the RUU uses only adb and fastboot. This means that the RUU does not (And cannot) update the radio. Am I correct in this?
And if so, what is the point of updating the RUU once you start flashing custom ROMs because they also flash the /system and /boot partitions and the only thing a custom ROM doesn't do is reflash the H-BOOT and the recovery.
And even if you update using a RUU for some reason (Whether it updates or if you just want to return to stock), do you have to choose the RUU that exactly matches your current radio version?
Assume for all the questions that the device is either BL-Unlocked or Stock (But S-ON either way).
Thanks in advance.

Hi, an ruu updates what you mentioned and a lot more. It will do things like change the splash screen, update the radio. and change the hboot which you cannot do with only an unlocked bootloader. It can do those things because its signed.
I had to use ruu's a few times, recently for an hboot downgrade to achieve s-off. Now that I have s-off I can flash any file I want in hboot asblong as its named correctly. Like a splash screen, or a lower hboot version.
Since an ruu updates the radio, it doesn't matter which version you choose, as long as its the same version you have or higher, but it won't let you flash a lower versionWith s-off I can flash any ruu version I want.
ok, so if I am currently running 2.3.4 and htc sense 3.0, does that mean that I can flash my phone with ics (4.0) as long as it is for the right phone and carrier???

I'm not sure for your device, but as long as the RUU is for it, it should work (boot loader version doesn't usually affect it).
hello, i wanted to know if RUU also achieves S-ON. I need to return my droid incredible to verizon for replacement due to screen malfunction. I cannot see anything on the display, but everything inside works fine.
I had unlocked bootloader using htcdev and rooted with S-OFF running 4.1.1. I am now on stock Froyo thanks to RUU, but I still need to get S-ON and bootloader locked.
So does the RUU achieve S-ON? I have downloaded the forever SON zip file. But I dont know how to flash it using ADB. Can someone guide me.

Well to start you need to decide if you want to s- off or not. If you don't i believe you can update firmware with the 1.12 hboot.
I'd update the firmware in consecutive order from where you are now. You want the firmware zips without the hboot img
Then you can flash the new rom you want.
I would follow the directions for s- off personally. It makes things alot easier

If I turn the device into s-off, then I can use TWRP to update from zip files right?
I read that I don't want to jump firmware to the latest or I could brick the device. So I thought the process might look like this.
PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG:
1. LazyPanda ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737123 )
to "s-off" the device
2. Run zip for 2.13.651.1 OTA (which one though?)

run zip for 3.16.651.3 OTA

Am I missing something?
What about the radio (comes with the firmware?)? What's the deal with the boot.img or not (I don't see the firmware WITHOUT boot.img included)?
Lazy panda is not technically supported anymore, so not sure how much luck you'll have there, but I would say run the 3.15 RUU, then s-off with dirty racun .
Stock with goodies is using the 3.16 base, so once you're s-off you can update to that firmware/radio version via the bootloader...assuming you're coming from 3.15. Just make sure to flash the 3.16 zip without the tp img, or your touch screen won't work with any other base.

That's what I was saying in another thread. With samsung phones you just flash and reboot. With these HTC phones you have to update this downgrade that just to flash a rom. I came from a one X and you had to flash the boot.img every time you wanted to flash a rom/kernel/modem.

No. Dont s-off then run dirty racun. S-off is what dirty racun does. He's saying Use RUU to get to 3.15, THEN use dirty racun (as per their instructions).
Then STAY at 3.15. Uncles you wanna use a 3.16 sense ROM (which is no different than a 3.15 ROM). If you S-off and update to 3.16 firmware AND flash the 3.16 touch panel image (tp.IMG), you will not be able to use any ROMs that aren't sense 3.16. I would suggest leaving your firmware where it is, and try the ROM you want. Generally, you DO NOT need current firmware to run a current ROM. The two are mutually exclusive (firmware and ROM). I always rock old radios. Newer isn't always better.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
1. S-OFF with DirtyRacun (doesn't really matter which RUU you choose)
2. Install custom recovery through fastboot (latest TWRP should be fine, depending on the ROM you choose - you might need 2.4.0.0 or older if flashing a ROM with an outdated update binary)
3. Flash ROM of your choice.
4. Update to latest firmware using most recent zip from firmware thread (this is done through the bootloader, not recovery)
5. Profit.
I feel pretty stupid with how confusing this is.
So
1. Use dirty Racun to go to s-off
2. I already have TWRP 2.1.8 for installing zip updates (Can I leave that version or do I need to change it?),,,
3. Install 3,15 firmware (or install 3.16 but without the tp img or my touchscreen in recovery will be busted.
Also, once I go to 3.16 I can only use 3.16 ROMS in the future.
4. Install any ROM which automatically changes me to the latest radio (is that true?).
I want this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701117
but does that mean I HAVE to have 3.16 firmware to use a 3.16 ROM? Or can I just leave it at 3.15?

2. The S-OFF process involved flashing an RUU, which will replace TWRP with the stock recovery. So like I said, you will need to flash TWRP. Since I don't know if flex has updated the update binary in that ROM, I would flash TWRP 2.4.0.0.
3. Just flash the 3.16 firmware. I've taken out anything that would be of concern, so you can flash whatever ROMs you want.

2. The S-OFF process involved flashing an RUU, which will replace TWRP with the stock recovery. So like I said, you will need to flash TWRP. Since I don't know if flex has updated the update binary in that ROM, I would flash TWRP 2.4.0.0.
3. Just flash the 3.16 firmware. I've taken out anything that would be of concern, so you can flash whatever ROMs you want.

Ok. I get it. I lose TWRP once I "s-off", so I have to put it back on.
Just flash 3.16...it doesn't matter anymore about the touchscreen, that's been fixed.
Radio is included in the 3.16 firmware, not the ROM.
Flash the Stock with goodies...and I'll be fine.
Phew.... I hope this is right.
Do not flash 3.16 firmware if you haven't already flashed 3.15 first. Will brick.
From my Evo LTE, yup.

No, it won't. Otherwise I would've said so. You obviously haven't been reading the firmware thread .

Funny you say that since 3.15 firmware was causing soft bricks with older hboots. The only problem with the latest update is that aosp roms are stuck with out touch screen support for now.

Alright. Guess I missed something. Last time I was in there , if you didn't do 3.15 prior to 3.16 you were hosed.
But I did see the firmware haus dropped that it was said would be OK regardless of 3.15 or not. Just hadn't seen anyone try it.
Definitely listen to Cap'n. He's the man when it comes to firmwares and radios.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
Okay, I wish I had read this before I did what I just did. My device seems to be bricked
Was running 1.22.651.3 and MeanROM-ICS-v65 and went to update things to JB. Updated using PJ75IMG_3.16.651.3_firmware in HBOOT and now the screen won't turn on and none of the LEDs light up when plugged in. The device manager shows QHSUSB_DLOAD when it's plugged into the PC.
Any way to unbrick this?

Did you not download the most recent firmware from my thread? Because there's no way it should've bricked you. I personally updated from 1.22 firmware up to 3.16 with no issues, and someone else updated from 1.13 firmware up to 3.16. What exact file did you use?
EDIT: I just looked, and I don't even have a file available with that name in my thread (anymore). The only one I have is this, which is the extended firmware which eliminates the bricking issue. Sounds like you had an old download.

Ouch. I'll have to update the Wiki. I'll be sure to mention it to Haus.
And no, your device is bricked. Time to get a replacement.
EDIT: Wiki updated with proper link.

Please let me know if you find out. I was wondering the same thing!
Let me try to help you guys.
What you guys need to do is to flash the original RUU for 1.27.531.11 from PC. Once you do that, you will be able to update OTA.
If you have unlocked bootloader and s-off, it will still carry over to the back to stock as well as OTA.
If you dont like it, just flash the older hboot and then recovery and another ROM.
I did it and works perfectly fine. Also no Root allow for Back to stock or OTA, you can do that later but not when trying to get update.
No custom recoveries, radio, boot, etc. Has to be stock ROM.
Ah, also please have sure the MID / CID is right before flashing to stock.

Unfortunately that only works on a Microsoft Windows computer. It won't work for Linux or Mac.
Are there any option for Linux/Mac users?

This is what I did. I was on a custom ROM, but -off, flashed 1.27 RUU, set basic settings up, then downloaded 4.3 update, still unlocked and -off. Painless.

The 1.27 RUU is stock ROM, bootloader, and recovery?
After upgrading did you re-flash a custom recovery and re-root?

Not yet. Gonna play with stock for awhile. I kind of like odexed and dont have a burning need to root. As for the "junk" in stock roms, there really isnt much, and what there is you can disable so not a big deal.

OK so just to clarify. I am currently on 1.27.531.11 rooted with a Unlocked S-off bootloader and TWRP recovery. All I need to do is, leave the bootloader unlocked and run the 1.27.531.11 RUU file. Once that is completed I can take the OTA to 4.3. Once this is complete will I still be S-Off and unlocked or S-off Locked? Then if I want to root (asuming bootloader is still unlocked) I would just need to flash the TWRP recovery and then flash SU, and I should then be updated to 4.3 rooted with a unlocked S-OFF bootloader. Is all of that correct? If not, please correct me before I attempt this. Thanks for any help.

Correct. You'll be s-off unlocked.
