hello guys i am s-on...have unlocked the bootloader(i know how to re-lock) and running buisness sense 4 rom....in juopunutbear guide said that i have to be fully stock...can i revert so i can proceed with s-off!
i have used awesomerecoverytoolv2 and have created and PH98IMG of latest official global ruu..if i relock bootloader and flash this will work?i am not doing it as i will wait some proper answer..the phone is new and don't want to damage it
Run a 3.14.605.12 RUU. You will then be on the OTA firmware and rom. The Global isn't official btw. Shouldn't had to unlock your bootloader in the first place.
i am downloading now...i just have to put the PH98IMG.zip and run it on the hboot...and then i will revert to stock?

Yup. If you need your full hboot commands back reflash the 2.25.2525 JB hboot after the RUU. If you want COMPLETELY BONE STOCK keep the stock hboot and s-on. Keep in mind you will want to backup your internal sd as I am pretty sure it will be wiped.

Misread your OP a touch, thought you were already s-off. .Since you have already obtained and flashed the Global leak all you need is a deodexed & rooted 3.14.605.1x rom & the JB S-off 2.25 installer. PM Izzaeroth for a download link for the rom.

Was looking at the RUU files with 7z, would it break signature if you copied the android-info.txt out and dragged/dropped it back in?? If not then there is a possibility to rollback the radios/RUU back to Gingerbread, by changing the main ver text in the latest leak. Any thoughts? Can't be bothered to attempt this right now as I am due to receive alot of calls today.

If you see here this is partially the reason why I ask, not totally related.

I think the problem isn't that check , but the hboot version check. The leak upgraded the hboot to 2.21 so it would fail the hboot check before it checked the kernel version.
Thought so but wasn't too sure.
Yeah thats the only reason im still on gb with a ics theme. Until we can get rid of that tampered on hboot and be able to downgrade to gb ill hold off on the leaks.
I don't think the official OTA is going to change the tampered part when you flash a different recovery.
I'm guessing that will stay.

since you posted the OTA almost 3 weeks before the official one, can we expect the kernel source from you soon?

if u run this ruu it will still be unlocked but it will update your firmware to ics and hboot, but just install a custom recovery and root and youre set. it will wipe your data so be sure to use TB

Is there any advantage to being on ICS hboot/firmware? I have been flashing roms but I went s-off last night to make the process easier. I suppose I don't mind flashing the GB patch. Thanks for the quick reply
Im currently s-on unlocked running Clean rom 4.5 developers edition and my hboot version is 2.10 with the GB patch. I've been thinking about attempting s-off but so far the one step I need to figure out is how to get back to a stock gb or ics rom (prerequisite to performing s-off I believe)
What are my options here? Do I need to re-lock my phone, run a ruu, then unlock again?
Is there a zip file I can flash to get a stock rom loaded without re-locking then unlocking?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
Jbear s-off wants a stock rooted phone because it is too much for their tech support people to deal with all the many ROMs in existence.
A Rom that is close to stock like cleanrom has a good chance of working with the jbear s-off process, but I do not know for sure.
Since you have gingerbread firmware, you should use the gingerbread rezound jbear download, IF you decide to attempt it.
On the other hand we have official ics now, and you might as well move onto it rather than using gingerbread firmware and a ROM that will never get updated because the author moved on to buy a different smart phone.
The ics ruu will do a factory reset and wipe the internal sdcard. The removable microSD card should be left untouched. you will need to relock the bootloader to run the ruu, but it easy to relock with hansoon's all in one toolkit if you have saved your htcdev.com unlock bin file.
Here is the official ics ruu file, if you decide to install it.

Thanks for the response! I've downloaded the ruu for ics & I still have the htc unlock code. I will give this a try hopefully this weekend

confused semi-noob, please help
Currently running rezrom ex v.3.4 with ics 3.11.605.22. I have seen this question asked a few times in different places throughout the forum but am still a little unsure as to what is best or whether it matters at all. I've heard it is best to return to stock rom before attempting s-off but I've also heard that others with my rom have not had any problems. So if I s-off with my current rom, and it works, I will still have root and be able to flash the most current ruu, right? Where as if I were to try to flash the most current ruu now, I would have to first relock the bootloader, then once on the new ruu, I would have to unlock from htcdev again and flash amon ra again and re-root before being able to s-off. If I have this right, then there is no real downside (besides it possibly not working) to trying to s-off now with my current rom. In fact, it would be less time consuming and less confusing, correct? I've been trying to read everything possible on getting my phone to s-off, but I think at this point, I'm just getting more confused with the more I read.
I wish I had an answer for you. Im in the same boat as you, read a lot, still confused.
I think im in boat number two, re lock, flash newest ics ruu, unlock, try to s-off, but what im not 100% sure of is which juopuntobear to download & use.
Post back in the thread if you are able to s-off with the rom your running. Maybe I will try with the rom im running & just say screw it.

re
You are supposed to use the version that is current with the ruu that your running. For instance, mine is the early ics leak. If you update to a more current ruu when reverting to stock, you should choose one that jb made a exploit for (v. 3.13..., or 3.14...). Of course, I'm still semi-noon so this is just my best educated guess from my studying of these forums. I would be very grateful if one of the devs would correct me though... Please.
i did it!
So I decided to s-off with my current Rom installed. It worked but my phone didn't recognize my ext sd. I tried all the fixes available and nothing worked, so instead, I flashed the newest ruu. That fixed my problem but I didn't have recovery anymore. I found a ph98img for an older version of amon ra and replaced the IMG file in the zip with a recent version and edited the text file to show my current mainver. I flashed the new ph98img rough bootloader and now have amon ra and was able to flash a new Rom. The reason I used a ph98img was because I was no longer around a pc to flash it through fastboot. It all worked great but took a bit of time.
Nice! Glad it all worked out. I guess I would need to download juopuntobear for gb & try that.maybe I will give it a try.

latest RUU is 4.03.605.2 which i think has 2.22.10.0801r, 2.22.10.0803r
with 2.27 Hboot which you can check by going into bootloader
im not a radio genius. So someone correct me if I'm wrong
but check the rest of your "about phone section" for RUU information
4.03.605.2 is the newest radio just google i and you will find it. I use this one and I think it has more stable 4G signal,
Be advised that 4.03.605.2 is a Leak. Since you are s-on if you flash the global leak you will not be able to take any official OTAs.
I would use the official RUU which will update you and then take the OTA that just came out a couple weeks ago. Find the RUU here:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor
It's the top one, 3.14.605.12
Then if you are not happy with your reception you can always go up to the global leak if you want, you just can't go back down to a lower version without s-off.
Before you do this back up everything you need as this will wipe your phone and put it to factory stock.
You need to relock your phone to run it:
fastboot oem lock
And then you'll need to unlock again and flash Amon Ra before flashing a custom ROM again.

So, this build number is confusing me. This is what I presently have and I'm not sure how I got here
Baseband 2.22.10.0801 /....803
Hboot 2027
Build 1.11.401.110
Seems like everyone else with this radio combo is on build 4.03 or something like that.
Is there any advantage to me upgrading to that build? I am S-Off and hate the prospect of relocking or having my internal SD wiped if I don't have to go through that.
Build number has nothing to do with firmware. It's set by the ROM. You're already on the global firmware.

You CAN S-Off from a custom rom... it's not recommended as it has only been tried (successfully so far) by a handful of users...the link above is how I did it just a couple weeks ago. YMMV of course...
Obviously skip the S-on part at the end unless you really want to... and why would you once you are s-off?
