So if I send in my phone for warranty repair and they see that I have the leaked ENG boot that clearly says it is illegal to distribute outside of HTC, will I get in trouble for this?
You could take it back to stock if you want, just make sure you flash the stock hboot before relocking to avoid bricking.
This thread will provably be moved to the Q&A section shortly.
I put the badass in Team BAMF
Assuming the phone functions enough to flash back to stock, just do that. If it doesn't... You probably still have nothing to worry about. You're not the one distributing it. I suppose the person that leaked it could technically get in trouble though.

The answer is that yes, if they wanted to they could tell. I have sent mine back S-Off at least though (with stock firmware) and had no issues. It really depends on the case. They probably won't care though (though a non-stock hboot is more obvious than just "s-off"). Also, don't post this here. Post any questions in Q&A forum.
That's there on every unlocked phone iirc. Don't worry about it.

I need a link that I can download the pg05img.zip file that my thunderbolt had before the new ruu update. I think it was .6 or .0023 or something . My phone ran so much smoother with it. Also I was running the perfect storm v1.3 and had a kernel from ziggy .(1.7) that I cannot find now from his website. I have been looking forever and finally I thought id ask you freaks. Jk . Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

As far as the kernel you'll have to ask or pm the dev since they don't have it explicitly posted.
Ok well I flashed the .6 LTE and cdma but when I check the software on my phone it says I have the .9 I am so confused
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
That is because you are comparing all the wrong numbers. From Adrynalyne himself...
1.12.606.6= release software. This is what you started with.
1.12.605.9= leaked software, but same radios as .6.
1.13.605.7= leaked software, latest, new CDMA and LTE radio. These are what people flashed in the RUU thread or Das BAMF.
Thes numbers are software release numbers. Not radio numbers. The baseband number, I believe, is the radio number. So, if you flashed this file, you have the new RUU with the old radio.
If you downloaded this file from the OP of the Radio thread, then you have the stock radio.
Lastly (for now), we have the 1.12.605.6 CDMA/LTE radio combo.

To read is your best bet. I have been a "lurker" on these boards for some time. I read and read some more until I understand. Believe me, it is not fun reading through a couple hundred pages for just one thread, but you would be surprised what you would learn by doing so.
And to be quite honest, asking questions such as this only serves to solidify the reason for the responses you get from the more senior members. If you have to ask questions like this, you had no business rooting or loading a new radio in the first place.
Good luck
Whatever I am not going to spend hours on here reading about a phone. I actually have a life and it is not spent on my phone . Thanks for the help.

i have spend time to learn about this phone. I am just not familiar with the lingo. bro i have been from verizon (og droid) to at&t (aria) sprint (evo) and now back to Verizon only after having the samsung phone until the tbolt was out. I rooted every single one of those phones !!! i bricked the og droid and learned alot from that. havent bricked since. so don't tell me i don't spend time on here. you and alot of people on here spend more time complaining when you could be explaining. you would have saved a step in your last post had you just put the answer to my question. i build powerlines off helicopter skids for a living i don't have all day to spend on here "learning" the lingo. i just wanted simple help without you freaks getting your panties all bunched up because i apparently don't know what i am talking about. so if you cannot help me do not post back.
i am new to this website, as i have been finding all my information on google because i was afraid this would happen.
i rooted this phone having to install adb drivers on windows 7. do i just use shell command or whatever its called and push the files to the phone and make sure the md5sum is the same? all i was wanting to do was just go back before the leaked software. i was running the perfect storm 1.3 and ziggy mecha bfs kernel i think it was 1.7 but it was superfast. i live in los angeles and where i live i have full 4g all the time. now i lose 4g go to 3g then have to mess with it to get it back to 4g. that was until i lost root. so back to my question do i just push the files to the phone. i will have to fire up that old laptop again the only reason i used that one was because there wasnt a root guide for a mac back when the tb was released. is it easier on a mac fresh or on windows with the adb drivers and sdk already installed?

In the time it took you to insult everyone that can help you, you could have found the answer you were looking for. Just because there are people on here that have a vast knowledge about this and many other phones doesnt mean they have no life like someone who gets offended and calls the people that can help them "freaks". Next time you need assistance you might want to change your tact. Just my opinion.
i was just curious, because when i get the phone i may attempt it. but i do not know how to do it.
Not like they used to, that's for sure. AFAIK HTC hid the flag in a different partition than was previously stored. I know Binary and XB56 tried comparing partitions of a s=off device with a s=on.device and after countless hours, were unsuccessful.
Good luck
There was a thread that accrued a pledge of over $1k for whoever hacks the exploit, but it went nowhere. Can't get the right people the device I guess.

I would guess that XB or binary may have already thought of that. They were using some program that I can't remember (this is the prob when a dev becomes bigger than the community and pulls his work) that was compared the phones partitions... But there were so many and they weren't consistent so they hit a wall... That's my interpretation of the now removed thread

Well I looked around one of the posts said that HTC finished the ICS and is now sent to sprint for modifications. Aka adding bloatwares, sprint boot and etc. So if your going to complain to someone make sure its to Sprint. And once they are sent out it'll be in order by your Serial Number so that the OTA (On-The-Air) server doesn't overload. So your neighbor may get it while you don't. So don't worry. I'm going to remain locked and s-on until ICS comes out or somebody makes an ICS ROM based on the official release. So if your not rooted I recommend you do the same. Well its nice sharing all this that I know. And remember, this is all I know from twitters. Facebook, posts, sites, and everything else. Well with this I say goodbye and try to forget about the update so that time goes by faster.
------EDIT------
One of the reason for the thread is to express our knowledge about the ICS so that people don't have problems and they're questions are answered.

I would say the majority of folks on this forum probably DON'T want to upgrade to ICS over-the-air.
1. You'd have to wait until an unlock method is available, so you're pretty much stuck with what ya got (which may not be a bad thing to some).
2. You may or may not be able to "downgrade" to 1.4 HBOOT if you're on 1.6, if you have any intentions of obtaining S-OFF in the future.
3. Once it's available OTA, it's not going to be long before a full working ROM will be available on the board.
Just think hard and twice before you decide to take that OTA, and don't make the same mistake I did of accepting last time around with 1.5. I have performed the downgrade recently thanks to the hard work members on here have contributed.

Just wondering if anyone could answer this for me real quick. I had recently hard bricked my LGOG (did the most stupid, noob thing u could imagine) and had insurance on it thru ATT. Got them to send me a replacement and now I'm worried they will know that I had rooted/unlocked it and the cause of the 1st phones failure was caused by me and therefore voiding the warranty. The lady I spoke to about the warranty explained the process to me then explained to me what happens if warranty is voided, and its not pretty. Kind of nervous now. Anyone done this before or have knowledge on this subject?? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you have insurance... you can just say you lost the phone, which means you can't send it in. That way they have no idea the warranty was voided.

Well, you should honestly not exchange phones that you brick. You guys even have bootloader unlocked so you must have noobed hard to actually brick the phone. Why didn't you just use lgnpst?
I have no idea if they'll find out. But you said you had insurance, insurance covers basically anything with a deductible so as long as your ok paying the deductible I wouldn't worry too much.

Well that's what I thought too. Here's exactly what I did. I had the new stock JB 4.1.2. I had debloated it. U know, i customized it to my liking, ie, ME's super awesome B18c1 kernel, etc. ect. I had LGNPST'd it to the new JB. At&t phone BTW. Anyway when I first got this phone 1st thing I did was root/unlock and installed Snow's JB ROM. Once official JB came out along with the new 4.2.2 ROMs (vanilla root box, chaos) I wanted to try those and LGNPST'd to official like I stated earlier. Well, out of all those ROMs, and I don't know why but, Snow's JB ROM with ME's kernel worked so amazingly and I loved it. Most of all battery life was just retarded good. So, that's when i, without thinking too much about it, decided to flash back Snow's ROM over the JB ROM. Soon as I did that instant brick city. I just thought it may have had something to do with the TZ partition or something like that. I've soft bricked my phone a couple times by just not thinking clearly and never had any problems getting into download mode and LGNPST'ing back to whatever I needed. I'm just thinking now I should have LGNPST'd back to 4.0.4 or whatever it was before 4.1.2. Idk. Maybe someone can shed some light on the subject. Idk. Doesn't really matter now. I will never do that again. Anyway, thanks for the replies. I feel a little better. Thanks again. I really love the XDA community and love our little LGOG community!

I've returned two 'bricked' phones. I unrooted and set back to stock all my root changes, and then did a full factory reset, and the phone would fail to boot (softbrick most likely) and both times I didn't hear a peep. And this was without the boot failure being the reason for the return. So, if they don't ***** about that, you shouldn't have any trouble.
You can file an insurance claim for any reason, your fault or not so long as you don't mind paying the deductible. Warranty exchanges are what sometimes get people in trouble, they're for manufacturer hardware/ software issues.

This is my second hard bricked LGOG that I'm getting a replacement for via warranty. This last hard brick was from a teenybin which I found funny. Either way, my phone had a locked boot loader for the second round. 1st one was unlocked, rooted etc etc and no one noticed. You should be good.
