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
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.

Make sure the filename isn't sappimg.zip.zip (Deselect the "Hide known file extensions option in Folder View), if not then try formatting the SD card and moving the file over again. Also, make sure your not downloading the file directly to the SD card.

This is what you need to do. If you downloaded the sappimg using your phone, I would suggest re-downloading using the computer as well.

I am very experienced in rooting Samsung phones. I would like to root my mom's phone, which, right now is on bone stock, without erasing any data. I need some help (I also want to keep her on stock, the only reason for this is to install RTL languages on her phone).

Wait, you bricked this phone? But how? And yeah, you could have done a "permanent root" then RUU'd back to stock/S-ON

About the only way your going to brick this phone is if you flash a corrupt radio or something not intended for the Shift. In a worst case scenario the phone can almost always be recovered by using the the RUU or the One zip back to stock.
Thank you.

No. With temp root changes will be reverted after a reboot.

You have to have the engineering boot loader in order for any /system changes to stick (including the su binary necessary for root access)

I believe that they are working on a way to break 2.3.4 still. I haven't noticed any post confirming a successful root of the OTA update.
There has been some talk about gingerbreak doing something but it was experimental and I didn't do a whole lot of digging so I wouldn't recommend even trying.

Does anyone know if there's an updated guide to downgrading? I think the links (like to download the JAVA JDK) needs to be updated. I've spent hours reading and trying to find exactly what I need to download. I've tried installing 3 different JDK and none of them will let me install the Android SDK.
Edit: I found a fix to my problem. The Android SDK wasn't detecting JDK, all I had to do was click back then next, WTF...

How can you not[/] turn s-off? Have you been using visionary or gfree?
Sent from my HoneySmartDroid Port using XDA Premium.
Yes there is.
Grab stock radio from the radio thread in the dev section.
Rename to PD15IMG
zip and place in root of sd card.
Verify MD5 sum
Reboot to recovery.
It will check for file and ask if you want to install. Select yes.
That's it. Just use visionary to get temp root, then gfree to achieve S-Off.
Ok I currently have Engineering hboot 85.007 on my phone. A lot of the stickies have 89.005. Which is better and/or the most current. Also what exactly can you do with the engineering bootloader? All it added to the list of options is system info? I'm trying to figure out if I have the right one, and if it is installed properly. I did read, but a lot of the guides are outdated.

What he said. The eng hboot lets you fastboot, which is one extra(and very formidable) protection against permabricking your phone. The other hboot is the standard "consumerized" one; it works fine for most purposes but you don't get the extra protection that constant flashers should have.

I have the 85.007 Engineering bl on mine, but my question is, 'Is 85.007 the best Engineering bl, or is 89.005 an Engineering bl also? I'm trying to understand how many Engineering bl there are, & if one is better than the other, etc. I would like to have the best one available on my device.
Sent from my customized mt4g using XDA premium
85.whatever is the only engineer bootloader. 89.whatever isn't an engineer hboot, that's the consumer one that Tmobile would prefer everyone to have on their phones. Think of the 85 bl as the rooted version and 89.whatever as the stock version.
I hope I don't get burned at the stake for making that analogy lol
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
The reason I am confused, is that in the DEV section, there is a sticky, written by mark manning, with custom recovery and engineering hboot. There are 3 different file packs and in each one, it states "engineering hboot 89.005" ? If that is wrong the maybe they should be changed? But thanks for explaining it to me.
