if you ran the s-off from the unlimited site before you did this than all you need to do is unlock the bootloader with the Unlock_code.bin that you got from the htc dev site
the unlimited s-off is permanent and doesn't need to be done again.
And if you're still s-on, the instructions are on the unlimited site. Pretty sure I had my phone unlocked when I did s-off personally.

Hi Guys,
I just got my EVO 3d Today. Am really excited needless to say.
Ive managed to unlock the boot loader using the official HTC Bootloader unlock tool(Since my software version was 1.20). Now it says unlocked but still has "S ON". Been going crazy for hours now trying to root it. Even tried going into recovery but just get an error symbol.
Would appericiate if anyone can tell me how to go about it or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

easiest way to fix it is to download the stock root 2.3.3 in the devolpement thread and it will give u root after u flash it mape sure u data/wipe and dalvik wipe its in advanced if u need anymore help just pm me
edit: if it still says s-on the go to development thread got to rom guides and use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root its really easy to do

Thanks for the input. The problem is that i can't go into recovery. Every time i try i get a Red Triangle with an !.
I have ONLY used the HTC Dev unlock method and nothing else. Do i need to do/install something more in order to go into recovery?
Just use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root it would be your best bet now i was helping a friend do it the other day and he. Messed but i have a fix if after u do it u get s-off but not root if u need me to help u will going through doing I can but u will have to wait a few hour I am about to go to. Bed u can pm me or hit me up on g+ because my link is in my signature

Totally lost here.
Umm... you need to flash a recovery through fast boot...the red triangle means you don't have one... also if you are unlocked push su through adb and you should have root. I never used HTC official unlock but have rooted several phones... after you unlock the bootloader you push su and flash a recovery

from my understanding, once you use the htc unlock method you can't get s-off for now, until theres an exploit found. I followed a vid on htcevohacks.com and got mine rooted using 2.3.4 but I stil have s-on... not sure if it even matters because i can still go into recovery and flash roms.

Unfortunately its for software number 2.08.651.2 and above. Im on 1.20.401.2. Even when i click on check for updates it says device is up to date.
So basically this method can't work for me .
Guys issue resolved. Even though my device was initially unlocked using HTC Official unlock method i just ran revolution, followed the steps and now I'm unlocked AND rooted by revolution. Just wanted to share that.
Thanks for all the help people.

I really want to flash a recovery for my T-Mobile htc one that was debranded using s-off and adb. I changed my cid to 1111111, but I want to flash a recovery so that I will be able to flash a different radio. Will I be able to use hasoons all in one toolkit ?

I'm not new to rooting, I've rooted Samsung phones, Motorola and nexus. This is my first HTC phone and man is everything different. Could some one please explain to me what S-off is using dummy terms lol. I mean if I root but stay s-on can you still flash Roms?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Getting Soff can unlock you boot loader and if u do it through htc devs it unlocks your our boot loader but keeps Son but it's you use revone , it would unlock Son to soff and you are able to change CID and flash radios thru hboot but you can flash any rom that is compatible to the htc one but just unlocking the bootloader. You don't necessary need soff to flash Roma but it's good to have off thru if u want to return you phone back to the carrier and remove Tampered and return done back to stock !!!!

I'm not sure the last post was clear for a NOOB. S-On / Off refers to the security of the device. With S-On, the phone will only allow you to flash things built for your device. This prevents you from messing up the phone by flashing the wrong stuff or wrong area of the memory.
You can unlock your phone without S-Off, root it, and flash any ROMs you like, so long as they are for your particular phone model.

You can generate a new one. As long as your mid and/or cid haven't changed it will be the same exact token.

How to root (with links) is explained on my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Also, much of the "HTC specific" lingo is explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52484527
I would suggest reading up (and making sure you understand all the terms and processes) for at least a couple hours before trying anything on the phone. I do this every time I buy a new device, even having own quite a few HTC phones. In fact, I usually start reading and researching before I have the phone in hand.

also is there a way were i can go back to stock when i need to thanks

If your talking about ROM, then take a full backup of your ROM before flashing custom ROM using titanium/nandroid etc.
Or if your talking about root,
Just unroot using unroot apps from play store or the respected app you get after rooting.

As the above reply stated, it depends on what you are talking about.
If you just want the stock ROM, recovery, etc. one option is to relock the bootloader and just run the RUU. It will return you to stock software. The only thing not "stock" will be the bootloader will say RELOCKED instead of LOCKED. You need s-off to make it say LOCKED again (after unlocking it).

so this is what i want to do i want to unlock bootloader then root which i know how to do but i was woundering would i be able to install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/rom-sd-4-0-sense7-port-sdkernel-t3062367

You should be good to go, then. Just unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery and flash the Skydragon ROM you linked.

You can return to stock with a RELOCKED bootloader with s-on.
You do need s-off if you want to make the bootloader say LOCKED as it was from the factory. But the only reason to ever do this is for warranty purposes. And if you bought the phone from AT&T, you should note that your warranty is through AT&T, not HTC. And AT&T doesn't give a crap if the bootloader is unlocked, or whatever (folks have even successfully sent in phones for warranty with custom ROMs on them).
If you are seeing warranty service through HTC (you didn't purchase from AT&T) that is another story. But that is the only reason I'd bother going back to LOCKED.
In normal usage, I recommend leaving the bootloader UNLOCKED as it give you more flexibility to flash ROMs whenever you want, etc. The only reason IMO to relock the bootloader in normal usage is to run the RUU.
S-off is nice have if you want to flash radios, modified hboots, and some other things (you also don't need to relock to RUU with s-off). It certainly doesn't hurt, and some folks like to make the phone as customizable as possible right away. In fact, I did s-off to the phone the second day I had it (although s-off was free back then). But for you, its not strictly "needed" at this time unless you want to do the things mentioned.
so heres the thing again sorry for the manny questions i am just making sure if i do this everything will work so heres the thing the rom i linked if i were to flash it will my at&t sevice work since it would be a different baseband
can you link me the latest twrp recovery for the at&t htc m8 so i can flash once i unlock the boatloader

The baseband isn't determined by the ROM, its determined by flashing a different baseband/radio (which requires s-off).
There are some folks that have had issues on AT&T's LTE network using some custom ROMs. Namely, not receiving or sending voice calls while on LTE. But this seems somewhat random, and not the ROMs fault per se; but probably changes that AT&T is making to their network. The most you can do is flash the Skydragon ROM, and if you have problems, try another ROM or revert to stock.
Make a backup of your stock ROM with TWRP before you flash anything, to be sure you have something to revert to if you have problems. This is good general advice before you flash any custom ROMs, root mods, etc.
I'm using the ROM your linked (Skydragon Sense 7) on AT&T, and it works fine for me.
