Dear,
Am using Wildfire...I have rooted it and using DK Custom Froyo V4.4
My boot loader shows
BAZZ PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT- 0.80.0007
MI CROP- 0622
.......
My Noob Ques
1. Is the phone fully rooted..??
2. What I not able to do with S-ON and What with S-Off
3. Any screenshot how to S-off the Wildfire??
please reply...
no need to worry
you want S-off (security-off) only if you have hboot 1.0.xx so you can root.
-ur phone is rooted (with custom recovery installed).
-u can access the ROOT ONLY APPS on ur phone.
-u can enjoy custom roms on ur phone
-dont know whether u can use a custom splash image for boot screen.
coming to the s-off point, it is disabling the nand security. U will get access to additional advanced options on doing this,
u can see the advantages of s-off here on post #3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041530
and regarding how to s-off the wildfire, there are 2 options
-xtc clip (which is expensive, ur phone is already rooted and and no one will recommend u to go with this just for making s-off)
-alpharev2 (a freeware software solution for u which is not yet released, wait for its relese)
check for news on alpharev2 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794421 (also ur screenshot there, but its not how to s-off)

and regarding post #2

if u think of s-off for just rooting a present wildfire, that will be correct.
s-off is not only for rooting a wildfire, but also has several advantages like i gave u in the above link.
s-off by alpharev has additional options like "fastboot extended commands will be enabled".
and for hboot 1.01, even if they are rooted (maybe in future) with s-on, they are not compatible with alpharev2.
and for hboot 1.01 users who made s-off by xtc clip, can use alpharev2 in conjunction to make use of the advantages of alpharev2.
thats all dude, someone correct me if im wrong.

I am in need of warranty services so I installed stock vha rom and did a factory reset, etc.
Problem is the phone is still s-on and rooted.
I can remove root in visionary... How do i s-on? I would not like any traces of hacking left over. thanks.
You have to flash a stock RUU

uhm can you explain?
I need that too
thanks in advance
If we hard reset our phone without keeping the backup and untick the option of installing the backup from the options, then i think we loose the root and the S-OFF.
I am interested also too, to remove the s-off
Antonios, no, S-OFF would remain. Also using stock RUU is not enough in most cases, as it would fail at hboot version checking while flashing OR Radio S-OFF would remain in the phone nevertheless. One tried, tested and simple way to S-ON from pretty much any phone state is to:
- Do Radio S-OFF (yes, S-OFF) with my tool if not already (link in sig)
- Follow the instructions in my Radio tool thread to go S-ON
It will remove clockworkmod, eng hboot, custom rom, everything. Your device will be completely stock after the process.
Should be sticky in Desire HD Android Development section. no?
When I start my phone in hboot bootloader screen it is showing S-ON at the top of the screen yet I was able to root it with unrevoked and flash it with custom rom Cyanogenmod 6.1. So what exactly does S-OFF actually allow you to do?

Flash recoveries on the fly, resize internal memory partitions. You need to search.

S-OFF by xtc clip allows u not only to root but also has several advantages.
S-OFF in general by any method has advantages.

You are rooted and can flash whatever you want from what you described. Getting s-off is different. Please click my name and see the links thread I started, it has links to both s-off methods for heroc. It unlocks your bootloader, go read about it. Again, you don't really need it, but it's kinda cool.

Can you help me to fix my htc desire 816 i accident delete the file framework after that its blinking and shutting down when i open again cant open. I try to wipe or format using power botoon and v+ but useless help me please . What is the other way to fix that.
UPDATE: Topic title should read 'unlocked'.
Had to start another topic for this. Just recently got my DZ but it came with android 2.3.3 so I thought 'bugger' and thought I would need to downgrade. I bought my phone 'factory unlocked' which I assumed just meant network unlocked.
BUT, I've just booted into the bootloader and it says I'm S-OFF. Does this mean it's a real S-OFF or similar to the engineering HBOOT S-OFF?
Would there be any way to root it without downgrading/custom rom do you think?
Anyone more experienced shed some light?
if it says SHIP S-OFF then you should have true s-off.
In which case getting perm root is simple, follow this guide, but only run the 'Gaining Temp Root' and '
Temp-Rooting to Backup' sections.
This should stick with a reboot, so you will have perm-root.

Brilliant! This will definitely work even on the stock rom won't it? I only want root for setcpu for underclocking.
Gonna charge it up and give it a shot. Does my hboot version or anything else matter before I try this?
Just for info it says this in bootloader:
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0013
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 11 2011,23:36:27
Thanks.
Well I went ahead and tried it and it worked great, I now have root!
I have noticed however that setcpu doesn't appear to allow underclocking with the stock rom. I thought maybe that would be ok. When I move the sliders, nothing changes.
Now that I'm rooted with S-OFF on gingerbread, can I install custom kernels?
If you install rom manager you can install clockworkmod recovery, and install a new rom/kernel through that.

Good stuff, you answered my next question which was how to get clockworkmod on.
Many Thanks.
Can I downgrade from HBOOT-1.33.0014 to HBOOT-1.33.0013.
After updating hboot through HTC Unlock Bootloader hoping for benefits, now I can't flash some ROMs because not being at least 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d.
How can I revert to original spl?
This is my actual information:
myTouch 3G with 3.5mm jack (1.2) - White
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0014 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.28.25

Would appreciate any suggestion, thanks.
Solved!
1. Relocked the bootloader in fastboot using: fastboot oem lock.
2. Download misc-edited.img
http://www.4shared.com/file/M7NfPvFO/misc-edited.html
3. Copy misc-edited.img to sdcard
4. With Rom Manager installed type this in a terminal emulator.
# /data/data/com.koushikdutta.rommanager/files/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc-edited.img
5. After that use the stock-sappimg.zip. Rename it to sappimg.zip and copy it to the sdcard.
http://www.4shared.com/zip/CgyRRX4O/stock-sappimg.html
(stock android 1.6 sappimg for the mytouch 3g 3.55mm)
6. Turn off the phone and then press volume down + power button until bootloader shows. It should pick up the sappimg.zip and flash it.
7. Root with UniversalAndroot_1.5.3.apk (disable antivirus before download it)
http://www.4shared.com/android/ay4Js6MY/UniversalAndroot_153.html
8. Install ROM Manager 4.4.0.6 and flash a recovery.
http://www.4shared.com/android/87Z5gzSF/comkoushikduttarommanager.html
9. Reboot the phone.
10. Download radio 2.22.28.25 and flash it through recovery like any zip file.
http://www.4shared.com/zip/jGsW4akC/update_2222825_S.html
11. Reboot the phone.
Now I have:

Good work! Now let's see you get S-OFF and an ENG SPL

Thanks, this is a tricky device and I don't have a clear idea in how to accomplish that in a safe environment. Do you think it's worth the chance? What are the practical benefits in doing so? For now I only know one bonus using ENG SPL in this device and that is erasing everything from fastboot (for that I use superwipe) but flashing still not possible, all other good commands are still excluded.
Please, make me wrong and make me a gift with your guidance.

Heh, I was just joking. What you really get with S-OFF and an ENG SPL are more ways to fix things and more ways to break things.
With S-OFF, the phone won't check the signatures of things you flash using HBOOT or fastboot, so you can get the phone to flash something that's been modified... but you can already do that if you have a custom recovery.
With ENG SPL, you can change just about every setting in the phone and access all of the fastboot commands without getting "remote not allow"... But, again, most of the things that you'd want to do (flashing a custom ROM) can be done with the custom recovery.
And, if I remember correctly, if you use an ENG SPL on a myTouch 1.2, you lose half of your available RAM, at least until you go back to a magic SPL.
I suggest making your life easy and not doing any of these things

That's what I thought too, better leave it unTouch. Thanks for your help.
Yes, using anything but 1.33.0013(d) spl and a newer radio will decrease available ram (by 18mb on 32b, and half on 1.2), and will break headphone Jack and other stuff on the 1.2 until you flash back.
Is that my misc-edited btw? just checked md5sums, seems to be. glad to see someone actually made use of it. you now have all the benefits of a goldcard, without going through the complicated process of making one.
Also, roms can probably be easily updated to support 1.33.0014 ), most likely a 1 line edit to the updater-script
Pmerced, could you dump your current misc partition for me? I have never had the opportunity to look at what happened to my edits after an update.

Here it is.
thank you.
it did exactly what i thought it would. it has the goldcard cid (you can flash any sappimg.zip or ruu), and it updated the main version like normal.

so . idon't know what i donig to install recovery she is tell me in fastboot (remot not allwo) i tired pleeeeeeeeeeez help me
i am using ubuntu 13.4 thanx for help and im so sorry
iam sorry for bad englsh
You can't flash from fastboot on this device unless you have an eng spl.
The normal process of getting a custom rom on the dream/sapphire is first rooting your stock rom, then flashing a recovery from there. Then you update radio/spl as needed and flash a rom.
I have never messed with the 1.33.0014 spl, but from what I've heard, it gives no benefit, just headache.
