Hello,
I updated my Evo to the 1.22.651.3 software version and then got it HTC unlocked. Is there a way to get S-off from HTC unlocked? If so, which guide do I use? All the guides I can find seem to suggest that if you updated to 1.22.651.3, then you can't do S-off at this point.
Thanks for your help.
Correct, you can't get s-off.

There is no s-off for you at the moment, might not be for some time
new base
Ok, thank you. Mean-Rom 3.5 and higher uses a new base and apparently without s-off I can't update past 3.4. I've tried a coupe times and get a black screen. Is there any work around for s-on phones trying to upgrade to a ROM with the new base?ne

Yes you can. You need to know the limitations of your bootloader.
You are trying to boot the ROM with the wrong kernel

Oh, I see. It's h boot 1.15. Thanks for the link. I should be able to figure out how to flash the kernel separate but where do I extract the kernel from the ROM? And will flashing the kernel ahead of the ROM do the trick? even with the new base?
Thanks a ton. Sorry for the noob stuff.

The kernel is in the boot.img. Open up the ROM and copy the boot.img to your adb folder if you are doing the fastboot method.
You can do it before or after the ROM flash, but the ROM wont boot till you have both

Not sure if you can downgrade the HBOOT but I dont see why you would need to. If it is because you need root follow these guides. Even if you already have a working goldcard make it again mine was working for other phones but wouldnt work for this.
Part 1
Part 2
Once you have finished them you should have HBOOT 1.01 with Android 2.1 full root with clockworkmod so you can flash any rom you would like.
thanks a lot
I get the way to root,I only want to know how to downgrade the HBOOT
English is not my mother tongue,so my English is not so good
pardon
For now no way to downgrade HBOOT 1.01 to HBOOT 1.00 or 0.43 .....
We wait for a solution ....

Now we have a "BECOUSE"...
AlphaRev has made S-OFF for our legends here.

But this is only possible with hboot 0.43
We will wait...
S-OFF is only really useful for real devs, not leaches like the rest of us.

Seems you don't need to sign zips for flashing with ROM Manager. Works for me anyway.
I don't have much need for S-OFF myself -- the only thing I can think of is that it should let adfree android work right after flashing CM. Saves me the extra reboot to flash my symlink-etc-hosts.zip..

Yeah, I know, I know. It's just me being lazy end letting ROM Manager do everything for me. Download through ROM Manager and then flash both zips from recovery might be the most convenient.
(..or just S-OFF, which I plan to do when I get back from vacation )
waiting and waiting. We should be pacient.
I don't even own a Legend, but I've lurked around the Desire, Desire Z and G2 forums - and I own a Nexus One.
I've noticed that procedures for downgrading the HBOOT on these devices seem to involve making a modification to the misc partition, which then fools the phone into accepting a RUU/PASSIMG/etc that downgrades HBOOT.
I see here a procedure that downgrades from the Froyo OTA using a similar idea:
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-legend-legend-modaco-com/323201/downgrading-from-froyo-ota/
But the resulting HBOOT is still 1.001.
Could this method be adapted to accept a RUU that will roll back the HBOOT even further?
Nope. Current HBOOT (1.x) does not allow to fool itself and this is the main problem. You may play with misc and downgrade rom, but HBOOT remains the same. The only 0.43 version of HBOOT allows downgrading.
This is a stock rooted EU Shooter 1.20.401.2 ROM (odex) to use as a base for everyone. This was extracted directly from the RUU.
The only MODS made to this were that it has been ROOTED and ZIPALIGNED.

With S-ON, no you can't.
But is this a way to root your evo3d? Or am i mistaken?
no this is pre-rooted rom. If you had a custom Recovery you could flash it. There is no way for the most of us yet, wait a little bit revolutionary Team is working on it already.

Hi,
Would you be able to do the same for RUU_Shooter_U_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.22.707.2_Radio_10.55.9020.00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_207422_signed.
I have flashed the Europe ROM by Virtuous Shooter and have Wifi Error. Need to revert back to Asia ROM deperately to get back the original ROM.
I cannot use the original Asia RUU to revert back as halfway thru it will give me error on device. I suspect this is due to using HTCdev bootloader unlock method
Got a question, if I got a euro EVO 3d then if i root and flash a different radio will it pick up different signals to better support it here in the USA or am I just stuck on edge??. If not is there any software adjustments that can be made to make it pick up at least 3g??

i suppose you could try flashing a rogers radio but i wouldnt recommend it. you may be able to make some tweaks in qpst or cdma workshop
TQ so much!!! Downloading now. Hopefully it works
Edit: YES!!! It Works
My phone is s-off but flash with based cmw not works error is status 0 solution?
Same here,have this recovery installed:
http://goo-inside.me/shooteru/clockworkmod
I tried now the Virtuous Shooter v.1.0.2 ROM with the same recovery
which I mentioned one post above.There are no problems!
Maybe something wrong with the "updater-script" at the ROM from this
thread.
Thanks Flashmaniac
why i dont can install this ROM?
im on the same Base, using GSM Evo and Clockwork.
Hi everyone, I feel very sorry for this question, I am a noob and not so well in Androis system and I get so confused on all the instruction that I've read on the discussion.
My question is this, I really dont know if I can flash custom ROM such as CoolFlyer or Leedroid ROM for my HTC Flyer WIFI, My HTC Flyer is
unlocked already but still S-ON, with HBOOT 1.11.0011, and it has also a Revolutionary CWM v.4.0.1.4. It is also in Stock Honeycomb ROM
Actually I paid only some Technician to root my phone and I gain S-ON Unlocked, the problem is he did'nt rollback it into Gingerbread thats why I am not sure on how will I installed custom ROM like CoolFlyer.
.3 or
Can someone to inform me how can i make it S-OFF, and if im S-ON still can I flash Custom ROM like Leedroid HC V.4.3 or Cool 3dHoney v.6?
Thanks and really appreciated your help.
Just follow the guides here in the Flyer Android Development forum
My honest opinion is that you should roll back to gb and gain s off. Anyone you paid should of done so. You can flash roms from your current state but it requiresyou to learn how to use fastboot commands
Flyer

Pretty much. Though you'll need to manually flash the boot.img file from the ROM after every installation, or the system won't boot and you'll be stuck on HTC logo screen, and of course a custom recovery to be able to flash ROMs

Just got my EVO LTE back after having it fixed aka replaced. The version I got back is not updated to 2.13.whatever and is still on 4.0.3 android.
Should I root as is, or is there a root for an updated version? Can somebody point me to the right guide? I was going to root immediately when I bought the phone but the camera didn't work. Thanks in advance for any help.

I am on the same version. I just unlocked the bootloader via HTCDEV and installed TWRP through fastboot. Then I installed ROM that was already rooted. Worked great, just sucks with our new HBOOT not being able to achieve S-OFF. Not a huge deal but I love flashing between ROMS that require me to flash kernels through fastboot and not fond of the extra step (Between Sense and AOSP roms that is)

Not to speak for him, but all he is saying that since you are S-ON u need to flash kernel (boot.img) separately when u flash roms for it to install correctly without bootloops.
There are a number of ways to do it. The new mean rom has an auto kernel installer so u don't have to do it separately. U can also use flashGUI apk available on the market to do it, but make sure u learn how to use fastboot command prompt before doing so.
Lurk some, you will find it if you search forums. I am S-off, so I am not familiar with any off top of my head. Sure any rom u want to install will have at least 30 posts about people whining the rom didn't take bc they're S-ON and have to be redirected to another link.

Thanks for the quick response.. I'll do some looking. Is the possibility of S-OFF still possible with 1.19 we just have to wait for source code to be released to do so? Or is this a permanent sort of deal...

It is not possible right now to have s-off w/ hboot 1.19. It is a possibility in the future that it could happen, but you really don't need it if you learn how to manage with S-ON. S-off really only eliminates a couple minutes at most to flash kernel is all. Plus to flash New radios you need to relock and run RUU for latest firmware which will also update your hboot on S-ON.
A few headaches, but nothing you can't live with. Good luck.

I just created the guide you need today.
If you want 3D to work you are going to have to go with a "de-Sensed" ROM that emulates AOSP. There are AOSP based ROM's that have working 4G but no 3D camera.

Yes. You wouldn't be rooted and would have the stock bootloader (hboot) and recovery, but if you want to run 100% stock that would be fine.
I suggest leaving it S-OFF though so if you change your mind it's easier to update those things.
