I cannot figure out how to turn off security for my magic
Stop posting so many threads. Flash an eng spl. But flash back when you are done

I have ship s-off and root. Then eng s-off is still necessary for using this ROM ? Thanks.

Ship S-OFF is fine for flashing ROMs, ENG S-OFF allows you to use fastboot to flash new Radio's and such.
Thanks. I see now

so i was updating my radio to 2.22.28.25 and my spl to 1.33.0013d and it turned it to s-on and i cant boot into recovery or boot up past splash screen. so im stuck. i tried using gui v4.1 radio switcher app to change things and it says im not even rooted now so it wont let me change anything through that app so i dont know what to do any help would be great.
Try finding a sappimg.zip and flash that from hboot

Put you back to stock so you can re-root and get things working again

According to a post from attn1 it is possible and from threads I've read on other devices it can be done via fastboot.best thing to do would be jump on the irc and ask for help.

I don't see any guides with 6.17.0001 listed?
Your hboot means your s-off with revolutionary all you have to do is flash a custom recovery and superuser.zip

Thanks for the reply. Should I try to flash a recovery even when it says S-ON?
It says s-on? If so you have to rerun a RUU to get the hboot back to 2.16 and then use revolutionary.io to unlock and root it again

It's like that because the previous owner didn't rerun the RUU to return it to normal hboot he just flashed the hex edited hboot to get s-on

It really bothers me when lazy people don't follow ALL of my instructions. evo4gnoob is right; that's actually the next step in the process. People seem to think S-ON is enough (it probably is, in most cases), but a true EVOphile will know that 6.17 isn't a "real" (i.e. from HTC) HBOOT version.
I've tried the 1 or 2 things in the Bible and its not working. Still s-off. I flashed the newest gingerbread PD1.zip hoping that might install a new s-on bootloader but no. It's still the PVT 0.86.

Read it carefully. There's a section that says, procedure to revert. Follow that and it should work
