Firstly, thanks to everyone who contributes to this site. It has started me on a great journey of playing with these devices, starting with the Nook Color last year. Now I have a Rezound (trying to S-Off), and a new Nexus 7.
I have unlocked the bootloader using the HTCdev tool. I'm unsure where to go from here. I have the Hasoon2000 s-off tool, but it seems I need to root the phone. I haven't found any instructions for getting me through the rooting part. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can advance?
Thank you very much,
MT

+1 sorry i dont really want to start another threat because im kind of the same situation. My phone is htcdev unlock s-on h-boot 2.10 (yeah i know)
Amonra-recovery custom Rom. I want to s-off but my question is. Im i good to go to s-off how my phone is right now or do I have to change H-boot? and if I do which would you recommend?
Go to:
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Download the latest download for ARM. Devices. Flash via recovery and you will be rooted.
HTC Rezound
You need to flash a recovery and use it to flash Superuser or SuperSU. Hansoon2000 has a different all-in-one toolkit for the Rezound that can help you with all of that. It's linked under the sticky thread in Development. There's also other threads with manual instructions for the steps.
Thanks for your help, everyone. I was able to get things working correctly, and installed ViperRez 1.0.3. Very cool indeed!
Edit: I ended up going for the CM9 stock build instead. I really don't like Sense much, and much prefer the stock ICS interface.

How do I achieve s-off? Can I revese HTC unlock method? Is there a thread or answer available? I'm not a complete noob at rooting but got excited and didn't read thoroughly before committing to the HTC process. Started sifting through threads and haven't discovered an answer yet... Please help
I've been trying to sift through them as well just out of curiosity. Here is what I have gleaned from all of the threads on this subject:
1) Unless you previously had s-off through revolutionary, the HTC method will not give you or currently allow you to get s-off
2) Although the HTC method does unlock the boot loader, other things are still locked preventing you from flashing a custom recovery.
3) Currently there is no way to root or get super user access once you've applied the HTC method
4) Currently there is no way to undo the HTC method.
Probably not what you wanted to hear but that is my understanding as it is currently. That doesn't mean that a Dev won't figure out how to allow you to do those things in the next few days or weeks. You'll just have to keep checking.
Thank you, maybe ill just "lose" my phone and get it replaced
I would wait a week or so. Someone will probably figure it out.
Try this thread. Apparently this version of CWM recovery will work with the 1.50 hboot.

I think if you search other threads you'll see that it only works if you have previously had s-off.

There you go! That didn't take long at all. Now you don't have to "lose" your phone.
thank you
I really appreciate the info... I'll check it out tonight and let you all know how it goes. This is my absolute favorite forum bar none. By the way, I was being facetious when I made the statement about "losing" my phone... laugh every once in a while! I did when I basically noobed my own phone.
Dear fellow XDA members,
I am in need of some assistance. I just got my HTC EVO VIEW 4G and unfortunately, I accidentally upgraded to Android 3.2 HoneyComb without doing the Revolutionary S-OFF, so currently I did an HTC Dev unlock on my View but it still says "EXPRESS PVT SHIP S-ON RL" and it also updated the "HBOOT-1.14.0005." I tried checking out Revolutionary website and it does not support HBOOT-1.14.0005, so I was wondering what can I do? Do I need S-OFF for anything? I currently have Clockwork Mod installed on my View but it still has S-ON so I was scared about flashing ROMS. I am trying to flash Desensed 1.5 but is scared that I need S-OFF to do so... Can anyone chime in to help me please...
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
PS: BTW, I been searching and reading and rereading.... I just don't understand..
1) You'll need to downgrade to GB
2) you'll then need to run revolutionary for S-OFF
3) you can then re-upgrade to HC S-OFF

I don't think there is anything in the tool, that globatron hasn't already written a guide for on the Flyer. And none of them are hard to do. Anything particular you are trying to do?
ive done the OTA update, and then unlocked using HTC-DEV method becasue my HBOOT is 11.11.0011 and revolutionary didnt liost that hboot as being compatible. Ive been able to install a revolutionary Clockwork mod nad then went ahead and flashed LeeDriods ROM. But now it just starts up with the R2D2 sounds, boots a little and restarts.
Ive been reading and I think it either needs to flashed from fastboot or need to downgrade to GB and relevant hboot.
Also even though I have unlocked the bootlaoder from htc-dev it still says "s-on"?
I'm in the same boat. My flyer is
Hboot 1.11.001
OTA to HC
Unlocked the bootloader using HTC method
Load CW recovery.
Can I just follow the directions to down grade?
sorry to ask people for help again.. but there are alot of guides for unlocking/downgrading/flashing etc. could someone just point me in the right direction of one guide that is applicable to my particular case?
thank you.

I don't know why people keep coming on here and asking why they still have S-On after HTC Unlock. Its never been stated that HTC Unlock gets you S-Off, it just gives you an unlocked bootloader, which is not the same thing.
If you want real S-Off, downgrade and root using globatron's guide:
htthttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307759p://
Then you can upgrade back to HC if you want using the following guide (also by globatron, becuase he's the man). You will also need to have the HC Hboot if you want to flash a HC custom ROM, which is also described in the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
If you want to flash a custom ROM without getting S-Off, from my understanding you can do so using fastboot. But I haven't seen any step-by-step guide. You might start reading here:

It might be just me but I don't see anything in these guides with anything to downgrade the hboot on 16gb Flyer to gain compatibility with Rev. root method. It is not for me personally but seems others here are having that issue. With those newer hboot versions is there even anything that can be done at this time?
My understanding is that when unlocked with HTC dev you can flash recovery then adb push gb hboot while in recovery then run appropriate gb ruu. Once on gb rev s off then update to hc s off

Hey guys, I love the EVOLTE so far, but sense is slowing it down way to much, so I'd like to get CM10 nightly on it. A few questions:
1) I'm on Hboot 1.9, so I assume I can't go S-OFF yet, can I install CM10 with S-ON?
2) What do I need to do first before I can reach these steps? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29417266&postcount=1397
3) From the CMX zip, all I need is the boot.img right?
4) This video seems to be what I need to do, but not knowing any of these terms is providing a stumbling block http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdHQsYhb-Fw&list=UU7YzoWkkb6woYwCnbWLn3ZA&index=60&feature=plcp

1) Nope, you cant get S-OFF
2) Root the device?
3) Yes, fastboot flash your kernel (boot.img) http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-h-boot-1-15-a.html
You'll need to use HTC dev to root. Regawmods rooter might work as well

My best advice is to read the information posted, read the how to's and read threads where people have failed, this is the best way youre going to learn, videos can help but often times the person assumes you have some knowledge and that causes problems. dont youtube anything without learning what you can here
I honestly think the best guide on the net for what you need to know is posted here

I'm on hboot 1.9 s-on running synergy. What I did was first unlock the phone through HTC dev... Once unlocked I then dled twrp 2.2.0 and flashed the IMG through fastboot. After that did a nandroid backup and then flashed latest version of supersu through twrp to gain root access. I then dled Flash Image GUI (playstore app) which this helps for flashing kernals instead of doing through fastboot. When done flashing whatever kernal for watever Rom you choose which I'm sure cm10 you then go into recovery and flash the Rom like normal. One thing though I remember reading something about flashing a aosp or aokp kernal over a sense one could brick ur phone but look into that and you'll be all set. Hope it helps.

Have a 1.5 year old evo 3d on which I did the latest OTA ICS update. Been having issues (possibly digitizer?) with phone locking up and not responding to touch commands. So i decided to finally get into "ROOTING"
Did some reading and decided to do the HTC DEV unlock method. Performed successfully. The video tutorial that I followed included the following recovery. TeamWin Recovery Project (twrp) v1.1.1. I then installed. MeanRom 2.6. While it looks cool the Wifi/4g does not work (I do not blame the developer by any means... I might have done something wrong here).
Where I am:
UNLOCKED
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
hboot 1.58
MeanRom v2.6
Wifi and 4G not working.
Where I'd like to be:
Would like to have an ICS ROM with good battery mods and wifi tethering. Bloatfree (None of that Nascar or Blockbuster app stuff) [I dont know if it's possible to use someone's ROM but not use some of their programs].
From what I see I'm limited with having S-on. As there arent many ICS ROMS out for that ::shrug::?
I'm pretty much a NOOB to rooting and have been following tutorials. I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the info and decided to post. Thank you all in advance.
I suggest you follow ramjet's guide. It really is a noob friendly easy to follow one.

I am finally deciding to upgrade my TB to the DNA. It has been out a while, so I figure any bugs are worked out. I have a few questions...
1. What is the easiest rooting app / procedure for the DNA? and where can it be found?, and also, the reversibility of the rooting process should be considered, in the event that it needs to be unrooted for a return or warranty
2. Does the rooting process include the S-Off, or is that a separate procedure?, or is it event necessary?
3. A couple of the places where I read about rooting the DNA state that you need to flash either CWM or TWRP...is the 4EXT considered an acceptable recovery for the DNA rooting procedure? How would it be loaded in the rooting / flashing procedure?
4. I'm partial to Virus's and Santod's Eternity ROMs for the TB over at Infected, and have been using them for two years now; is there one out there close enough that I would be happy with, comparing it to Eternity?
Any and all information that you would be able to provide and point me to would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I'll be doing the same shortly. If I get to it before you I'll let you know what I did?

Rumrunner is the S-off and unlock method. Since htcdev blocked unlocking this device, we get both in one.
Reverting s-off unlock is simple and has instructions in a thread, will find and edit post with link soon.
CWM and TWRP are the only two custom recoveries that I know of.
I don't have experience with those roms to give you insight.
