I'm completely lost
I followed all the instructions I have found and successfully Unocked via HTCDev, and installed CWM 6.0.1.1.
I am on 1.11.0011, running a WiFi Flyer
I would like the ability to install a debloated GB Stock ROM and I believe I need S-OFF to achieve this.
Please help!!!

And this is the guide I used, but it is outdated and the RUU link in the 2nd step goes to a dead page on here.
Folks have posted RUUs for your hboot in various other threads. So just search around, and you should be able to find what you need.

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

Or are there still GB Hboot versions not supported by Revolutionary?
Ok so i have searched the forums and there seems to be loads of different answers and ways. Here is what i want for my GSM 3D
1. If possible i would like to keep the stock ROM
2. S-OFF if i even need S-OFF, all i want to do is use Fasterfix and Adfree
So whats the most up to date guide on doing this? there seems to be loads that are all different
Im not TOO MUCH of a n00b, S-OFF'd rooted etc my Desire.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
As stated in multiple threads and stickies, it all depends on what hboot your phone is.
And yes, what you want to do is simple. If you don't want to flash rom's or anything, you just need root access and Superuser.
Right ill find that out!
And you sure for adfree? i had to have S-OFF for that on my desire so will i not for this too?
Thanks for the help
HBOOT 1.49.0018
Will try have a go now!
This is correct yes?

What about for S-OFF?
For S-Off, I would recommend reading up on the HTC Unlock method. It is pretty simple and you become an Online Dev for HTC in the process Wish you luck!
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
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I apologize if my search through the forums didn't find the links I need.

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
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte...panda-s-htc-dev-ltevo-root-dummies-guide.html
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.

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.
I've been googling from last two weeks but didn't find the solution.. I went through tons of xda posts but none of them helped.
Please tell me how s-off flyer with hboot 1.11.0011? I've unlocked through htcdev site( after giving up). Now how to s-off and then root and recovery.
HTC flyer p510e
Honeycomb stock Rom
unlocked via htcdev
(In a hope how to s-off)
Hi. Why do you want to s-off your device? If you unlocked it through htcdev.com you don't need to s-off and can install custom recovery and root it using quickroot 1.1.3. Mine for example rooted+custom ROM without s-off.
I've been said that we MUST S-OFF or else we would face bootloop or brick situation !!! Is that true? Please provide me the link where I can continue further with rooting,recovery and custom Rom installation. curretly I've only unlocked via htcdev.

Bootloop and brick doesn't depend on s-off. It depends on head and hands (and may be luck a bit). Here is the link for rooting your device (quickroot 1.1.3). It perfectly roots almost ANY HTC device. There is an explanation, so read carefuly!!! After installation you'll free to use any app that requires root. And try to install custom recoveries from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775840 and from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413915. Detailed instructions can be found in the corresponding threads. After you install custom recovery download custom ROM for your device and flash it through recovery. Good luck with flashing .

Hi,
What I did was downgrade back to GB by flashing the stock ROM which shipped with the Flyer this can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062184
In my case it was RUU_Flyer_BrightstarUS_WWE_2.27.1540.31_R_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204116_signed
Make sure that your Device is locked/re-locked before flashing the RUU
After which my Hboot was returned to 1.11.003, I then used revolutionary to gain S-Off.

You talking about this thread mentioned above?
Its got nothing to do with your number of posts. Looks like the links were dead, so the thread was placed in the trash.
If you look around on other threads, someone may have uploaded a mirror for the RUU you are looking for, or you may have to Google around.
