i have been clicking all these threads and still cannot find a step by step process to unroot this amaze. I bought this used and it appears rooted. TMobile has sent a upgrade to ics but when I try to install, i get the android guy with yellow exclamation.
I have Hansoon2000 but I dont see where to unroot. Plus Im getting an error message device not found
Is there anywhere that gives STEP BY STEP instructions what I would need to do? From what I am reading i think i need to get some original files from tmobile to get this completed. What file do I need? Do I have to unroot to get ICS? the phone keeps asking me to update. It is also acting buggy lately so I think I need to go back to stock.
Sorry I just don't want to brick this phone.

Hi there,
the next days I receive my HTC Flyer.... how can I be sure which root method I need ? How to check if it got S-OFF ?
I really wanna make phone calls later and use honeycomb >.>
The bootloqder of this test device in this store shows s-on. Can there be something done if s-on ?
This forum has a search function...
I feel gloomy about it when you can't read and search in this forum by yourself
So, use the search function here, read a little bit and you will find the answers. And don't forget to be happy and thankful
Refer. To revolutionary. Or HTC unlock

Ah ok so things like GSM Calls are possible either on S-ON or not .... thats great ^-^
Although the amount of information on XDA can be intimidating, you should at least try to use the search function, browse through the Development subforum, and read and educate yourself before making a post like this. If every noob that came on here posted basic questions like this before doing any research, this forum would quickly be swamped with such posts and be completely useless.
I used this guide to get S-Off and root, and its quite easy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
I personally have not tried the HC install. Its fairly complicated, and not without risk. But plenty of folks on here have done it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248635
My advice, read up and understand as much as you can before starting either process. Then follow the instructions very carefully.
Unsure about Rooting etc... can I make a backup before ? What if Rooting etc. goes wrong ?
Download Tool + Desire = ROOTED ... but this is complicated... I will ask again how exactly is the most secure method to do it ;D

Unfortunately, there is no way to backup the ROM without root. If things go wrong during root, you may be able to recover using the official RUU, following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195688
Desire is a pretty old phone. HTC has been adding more and more security against rooting and S-Off for the past year, and its probably only going to get worse (or at least stay the same). So if your intent moving forward is learning how to root current and future HTC devices, you might as well get used to the increased complexity.
The S-Off and rooting guides I linked to is actually quite easy. I think I accomplished it all in about 15 minutes, including downloading the needed files. Really, the S-Off process is just to get your Flyer hooked up properly to your PC, run the Revolutionary app to get S-Off, and that's really it. Its just broken down in very simple steps, to make it very clear. If you look at the step, some of them are not even really steps. Like the first step is "read the documentation", which you should already be reading up as much as you can before you start, anyway.
Once you have S-Off, getting root is just a matter of putting a file on the Flyer, and flashing it. Again, its just broken down into so many steps, to make it really simple and clear.
Installing HC is another matter. I haven't ventured to try it myself, but it looks significantly more complicated and risky than rooting. Its a lot of REAL steps, and the guide itself says its recommend only for experts. If you aren't confident about performing the HC installation, I'd stay away from it until the official update is released.
same like with my desire =) ... but after root, just download clockworkmod and install ROM ?
Ok now I can be precise ;D
FLYER PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.07.0000
MICROP-0850
eMMC-boot
Now you can help me I hope ^^
someone ? I dont want to brick it when accessing Root (AND FINALLY) GSM Calls Funtion
Bump again .... I really dont wanna make a mistake

You install clockworkmod after you get S-Off with Revolutionary, and before you root. You need clockworkmod recovery to flash the root file.
After root, I would use clockworkmod to backup the stock ROM. But then yes, just flash your desired ROM from recovery after that.
Seriously, there are not a lot of steps or ways to mess them up. Just follow the instructions carefully. Don't mess with the phone (power off or unplug) while its flashing, and make sure you have plenty of battery before for each step (>50% should be plenty).
Yeah but your guides are for HBOOT 1.10 ;D ... I got 1.7 as I said ... thats why I am unsure :/ ....
USB Debug + Fastboot off .... and then ? Revolutionary -> ClockWork -> Backup -> Honeycomb Leak install -> GSM Call Activation ?
Like this ?
FIRST OF ALL, BE WARNED, YOUR WARRANTY MAY BE VOIDED IF YOU S-OFF YOUR FLYER
STEP 1
First, you have to make sure that your hboot version is compatible with the revolutionary tool. (Which yours are not, that adds a few more steps)
STEP 2
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198650 and follow the instructions.
STEP 3
After successfully patching your hboot to the ROM's version on that thread, you are ready to go! Go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709 and follow the instructions. PS: Remember to type Y and enter when it asks you wether you want to download and flash clockworkmod recovery. (S-OFF and root instructions are in the thread, just follow them, it's fairly simple)
STEP 4
Your Flyer is now S-OFFed and rooted, go to recovery (navigate from bootloader) and do a backup as you wish.
STEP 5
Download any ROM from this thread and flash it with recovery (navigate from bootloader -> install zip from sd card (Make sure you copied the rom to your SD card)-> Warning: This cannot be undone blah blah blah. YES)
STEP 6
Enjoy and hit the Thanks button if I helped.
#2 AFAIK - You need a Flyer that is HBOOT: 1.10.000

Step 2 in this one in your link ;D ... I got 1.7
There are no v1.7 hboot for Flyer, check again. Yours should be v1.07 and v1.07 is not supported right now.
so I MUST keep Gingerbread and there is NO CHANCE for me to get Honeycomb until release ?
Nope. Just follow the instructions in the second step of my instructions to upgrade your hboot to s-off.

I could do that... But the only thing is that I am unsure about the security.... I am afraid of bricking my Desire ... Then nobody can repair it :/ ....

Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197909 (viperRuu)
It has everything you need to get yor phone ready for a return, I've used it myself, it's pretty easy, download the drivers in that thread and you might need to install htc sync also, that maybe your main issue, get all the files from there and good luck.
Hello! So I rooted my htc evo 3d a few days ago and I have been trying to flash roms using 4 ext recovery. But I realized that I had hboot 1.58 and I needed to downgrade It in order to get the roms I want....
And in order to do THAT, I had to get S-OFF. So ive looked for multiple solutions and I've found a post by remanifiest, the s-off, root and fix everything post (site wont let me post links yet, sorry) and I am on using the preliminary steps, unrooting it to get s-off. According to the post, I need to download the RUU which is the last of the preliminary steps. Mind you, Im not on the official step one yet, Im just trying to unroot it to get s-off. My bootloader does says relocked and everything, I'm so close. I downloaded the files he provided and the RUU is out of date. I need 2.95 but all I could find were ones way older than mine. I very unsure of what to do next. Could someone please point me in the right direction?? Thank the heavens my Htc isn't bricked but I really want to be able to flash the roms that I want, I don't want this whole process to be a waste. Im relatively new to this also but Ive learned a lot. Please help??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
as your are on 2.95 you need to read the instructions very carefully. follow the whole guide and you should be fine
Sprint users: If the March OTA ((2.95.651.5) is installed and the phone is unrooted proceed directly to Step2. If the March OTA is installed and it's rooted see this post for instructions on how to prepare for flashing the RUU.

This is actually one of the post i had read. I downloaded the file (i am on virgin mobile btw) for VM users and it was out of date so i discontinued with the process..... in search for the latest RUU so i could get S-Off
Again back where i started
VM users: If the November VM OTA update (1.14.652.0) was installed and the phone is rooted with a custom recovery and ROM, please see this post for instructions on how to prepare the phone to run the RUU.exe. If both the November and March OTA (2.95.652.5) were installed there is no way to flash the RUU so proceed to Step2, or if already rooted flash a stock rooted ROM from this post then go directly to Step3.

unlock bootloader (you might need a new unlock token from htcdev.com) then flash that stock rom in recovery. then proceed with the wire trick. you'll need ubuntu or ubuntu livecd for that.

Hi there guys, I rooted my HTC One a couple of months ago. But now I want to go back to stock. So I watched this tutorial video on how to unroot my HTC One and got to the part where I'm supposed to relock my bootloader.
I had to stop the process because the application he recommended wouldn't run on my Windows 7.
So, I'm stuck with a relocked bootloader and S-on.
I thought about converting my device to Google Play Ed but realized that I may not have the right skills for that just yet so now, I just want to go back to stock 4.3 but when I selected Recovery, it showed "***Security Warning***" right below "***Tampered***" and "***Relocked***".
After 2 restarts it disappeared but I'm scared that it might appear again.
I really want to just go back to stock. I've looked in the past threads and didn't find a solution on how to unroot specifically for relocked bootloaders.
I would really appreciate some help please.

Did you use rumrunner to s-off? Are you using a patched/modified hboot? Whatever method you used to s-off, you have to use the reverse of that, or you could brick your device. The answer to your question lies in the method you used to s-off your device.
I'm not saying this is going to help you, but I did a simple google search when I did this, and this helped me:
http://androidforums.com/internatio...stock-revone-moonshine-s-off.html#post5918438
It says it's S-ON though.. Do I Make it S-OFF first then unroot it? I thought it would be S-OFF because I rooted it. Should i try rumrunner to turn it to S-OFF?

Hey guys,
I feel like this is a pretty dumb question to ask, but maybe someone can help me. I have to return my phone back to Verizon for a speaker issue on the phone. Anyway, mine says relocked at the very top, I have flashed it back to factory using RUU and I have changed my CID back to factory. Now I haven't gone to S-On yet, and I am following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41801200&postcount=2
As I stated it still says ***Relocked*** at the top and I didn't start following this till after I had flashed the RUU, What do I need to do to get it to back to locked? Any ideas as to the direction to move in? Do I need to unlock and root it again, then just follow that guide to get it back to stock?
Thanks
