Ok So I did s-off but used the stock firmware and on gingerbread. I want to install a rom with the new ics ruu leak but I already did s-off on gingerbread and installed the hboot. Do I have to go back to s-on then install ics ruu and go s-off again with the ics version? trying to not brick my phone. I should have changed the firmware before hand but didn't read the FAQ only the instructions. I don't know what to do.
No you can run the ruu without worrying or there's a thread in development with just the radios and firmware that you can flash without having to run the ruu. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614366

I'm not sure what you mean. I would go with the latest .10 I think it has jb hboot 2.2525. That way you have the latest radios and can fastboot flash your recovery without having to unlock

Either stock or JB HBoot should be fine, as long as its the 2.25 ICS 5-7 one. I'm on the stock one and have flashed several ICS ROMs just fine. Only reason you'd need the JB one is if you need extra fastboot commands I believe. Since I don't really do anything with fastboot, I just grabbed the stock one.

So here's another theory of mine, the OTA files check cid correct? this is located in the build.prop file? Any others this can be found in that it checks for it?
Dark Nightmare said:
So here's my idea, well first of all I wanna know what changes other than system files, kernel and recovery when you upgrade from gb to ics? Is the Hboot the only other major change?
Since hboots can be upgraded via hboot using a PH85IMG, can we pull the hboot image or possible use the newer shp image we have, upgrade the hboots of mobilicity users maybe their kernels and recoveries as well, though those can be flashes via recovery, yeah, so back to the point here, can we pull the new Hboot from someone on ics or use the one we have, upgrade the s-on gb users hboot then have them flash the system files to manually update to ics? I'm gonna test the theory but since I'm s-off, my results may differ, that's why I need your opinions before we do a test of it.

You can't push the radio without S-OFF, the radio is just as important as the hboot. The only way to flash the radio while S-ON is to flash the entire Update.zip through hboot screen. And if you are not on T-Mobile you need to be S OFF

Me too, this is actually for you guys, if it's possible, gonna make a flashable zip from the stock, try to include the stock recovery in the boot.img, but gotta gather some info first, then test.
If I'm not mistaken... People are flashing eu radios on the us One S and we don't have s=off

This isn't for a radio bro, though that makes me wonder why we can't do certain things on the amaze.
This is gonna be a cwm flashable of a telus stock with the mobilicity build.prop so users that are s-on stuck on GB due to them flashing a stock rom and not having a backup or it just not working for them to be able to flash my zip, restore the stock recovery and update with the OTA.
I would be so happy if this works .

Lock your bootloader put ruu in sdcard as ph85img.zip I think then let it do It's thing... But I'm not sure you should read the amaze bible gives you noob directions search it

That's an ota file, you have to be on complete stock GB to flash that....that's the purpose of this thread.

Got pass the cid check using the swapped build.prop file, ran into a system's patch error when it checked another app, pm sent to my app provider....
It's not really a smart move to change the CiD without knowing how the radio is for that carrier. And flashing a RUU from another carrier is possible if it's not changing things like hboots
That is some progress

doesn't need to be updated, just remember to flash an old firmware patch before you boot.
GB ruu it. While they may not notice if it has ics or gb, you're better off being safe than sorry.

You don't 'need' to do anything. However, if it is just out of the box I would recommend this : http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?13780-STEPS-TO-ICS-FIRMWARE-UNLOCK-ROOT-and-S-OFF
The tutorial takes through update of the firmware to unlocking/root to s-off and then whatever you desire after. :good:
At the minimum, I would update the firmware by running the RUU, and then unlocking. Don't unlock first because you'll just have to relock to run the RUU!
As a previous poster commented, you don't have to update the firmware, but I bet you will eventually so get er done now.
There are other tutorials/"all in ones" out there so look and read around.

FWIW, just activated a warranty replacement yesterday. My specific steps were:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash Amon Ra and do nandroid.
3. Flash 3.14.605.10 firmware & ICS leak from bootloader as PH98IMH.ZIP.
4. Run Juopunut's S-OFF
5. Reflash Amon Ra
6. Flash my ROM (see sig).
I also flash Titanium as a zip, and use App2zip. Not everything works when I do things that way, but it takes me most of the way home.

So I've been dying to try out the CM10 ROM but I found out the usual flashing doesn't work since I'm on the newest HBOOT, but if I flash an older rooted version of a stock ROM will it also put me on the older HBOOT so that I could flash it the usual way?

No, the ROM is separate from the bootloader. You can fastboot flash a kernel with the new hboot (which you'll need to do for cm10) by following the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794867
There is currently no way to downgrade you hboot version.

You dont need the older H-boot, all you need to do is learn how to correctly flash a kernel with your h-boot.

Hello
I wanted to back to stock ROM and need help about it. My phone is rooted, out of the box s-off and unlocked bootloader. Curently runing mdeejays ICS and have ics radio.
I was just wondering can i just relock bootloader and run RUU from PC? Do i need to change radio or the RUU will take care of that?

Oh. That wasn't clear and some people do.
You have two choices then: you can flash a stock rooted Rom if you want root, or you can just run the ruu.exe without locking first. This will put you back at stock Rom with stock recovery but still s-off.

It would be best to flash an ics ruu. I think you can flash a GB ruu and update since you are s-off, but I wouldn't.

Hi. If I didn't search thoroughly for a question like this, I apologize ahead of time. But I was curious if there is a way to s-off hboot 2.09 that is currently s-on?

I went s-on since day one after I got bored of stock and have never had any problems Tbh, I almost pity all the poor s-off folks who were too terrified to take the ota All it takes is a couple extra steps to flash anything and its been worth it so far. I preordered so I had plenty of chances to S-Off early on but I don't regret it at all.

Now s-on is not bad at all right? The only con is having to flash boot.img through fast boot when flashing a rom?

Another con is you can't update your firmware unless you relock and take the OTA or hope a recovery flashable zip comes along
So if your hboot was s-off, how is it any different than s-on? You still have to run the RUU to go back to stock then get the OTA right? Or are you talking about some other OTA?

There are Firmware zips available right now for 3.15 that can be flashed in the bootloader but you must be S-OFF to flash them.Just flash and everything is updated except hboot,kernel,and stock recovery.
Flashing those firmwares is the same as taking the OTA except for what I mentioned above

Ugh - took the OTA on an HTCdev unlocked boot loader and now it seems hboot 2.09 locks down the systems (can't update supersu binary, they locked down /system?). Now on viperboy stock rooted rom...
Hopefully they come out with an s-off technique for 2.09, need to be able to "hide" supersu/root binaries on my device...
Any news on s-off for hboot 2.09?
Hi, I'm am a noob, I got the JB update, then decided to root my phone. I am unlocked and rooted. I would like to turn s-off but my hboot is 2.09.
I am trying to flash mean bean and every time it gets to around 25%, my phone reboots. I am using twrp to try flashing it.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or what I need to do?
Thanks again.
