If your trying to root your phone you have to use HTCdev.com to unlock your bootloader then follow captain throwbacks guide to get s-off after unlocking the bootloader http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...-18-HBOOT-with-HTCDev-com-No-More-Watermark!-)

Well from what has been said, there's a work around to the HTC unlock which will allow downgrading of the bootloader. Once this happens you are good to go. I honestly don't think HTC is gunna report every phone that has been unlocked, through thier unlocker, to Sprint.

Is it possible.

I'm pretty sure it is but personally I wouldn't try it.

If I remember correctly you can't. You need to be fully rooted meaning s-off. Basically s-off means radio sercurity off,among other things turned off. If you try to flash anything through clocklworkmod recovery without s-off,either nothing will happen or your phone will be bricked an you will have to buy a complete new phone. Best thing to do is fully root(s-off). If you need help rooting your phone,send me a pm,an ill help you out.

You're right that you must be rooted to flash in recovery, but you do not flash radios in recovery. They are flashed in the bootloader, and I'm not sure root access is required to flash a PD15IMG.zip file in the bootloader. I'm leaning towards root not being required, but I don't know for sure. Might as well go ahead and try it. The worst that could happen is you get the "access denied" message and the installation aborts.
I was thinking that about the radio, I just flashed my first one. After having my phone rooted for 6months. Only reason why I said root the phone. Is to make sure he has full control over the phone. An it takes some risks out,some but not all.

Yea, I was about to say you don't use cwm to flash a new radio but you got it. : P lol

Radios can be flashed in bootloader - otherwise stock firmware updates wouldn't be able to upgrade radios - but they most probably need to be signed to be flashed by S-ON bootloader. In that case, the answer to the OP would be "no".
Since I bought my htc desire z unlocked I wanted opinions before I mess ith it since I have no warrenty through my provider. After I updated to 2.3 my htc sense kept restarting. And that was a while ago now my entire phone keeps freezing then reboot along with the sense issue. Htc says I need to factory reset it,but I'm worried that will relock my phone and I can't afford to pay to have it unlocked again. I don't wanna risk flashing a new rom,I have done it before but this desire z is my favorite phone I've ever had. Suggestions plz?
A factory reset should not remove your root and not to mention there are very detailed guides here that will help you root your phone without having to pay for anything. Browse around the forum abit.

"Factory reset" = wipe data and cache..have to do that anytime you change roms so no it doesn't affect root or unlock. How did you install 2.3? When your phone is rooted the ota upgrade doesn't work

Yes Its just simunlocked, So are you sure?
100 % sure doing a factory reset will not relock your phone, it only wipes all personal data,absolutely nothing to worry about mate
Just in case I end up having to send it in for repairs or replacement does anyone know where I can get find the cheapest most reliable place to get the unlock code?

The easiest way to unlock it is to root it using gfree. Besides, once you root, trust me, you will never go back to stock. It really does make the phone much better.

Hello,
I am trying to unlock (s-off?) my desire z with official procedure at htcdev.com site.
Unfortunately I had an ota upgrade to 2.4.405.4 (perhaps bug fixing...)
Obviously OFFICIAL htc software does not recognize 2.4.405.4 version.....
What can I do now?
Thanks,
Mario
don't use official unlock, bad choice you will be so unhappy. look for the xda wiki guide how to root the proper way, or google cyanogen vision root wiki
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
if you have already unlocked the bootloader using the steps on htcdev.com you need to lock again the bootloader otherwise the xda guide will not work

Ok, but all guides say to backup with titanium backup before rooting. But titanium needs rooted phone to do backups...
How can I backup my phone????
Thanks,
Mario
well there is no need to back anything up but if you really want to, fully read the guide and it will show you how to temp root you phone and then use titanium to back things up. personally I feel this is unnecessary but do as you'd like

Does "any HTC device" include the Incredible 4G? We are having a lot of trouble with that one... Could use some help.

As long as the exploit has not been patched by HTC then it will work otherwise you need to dev-unlock and flash insecure boot.img then run HTC Quick Root.

The Incredible 4G is locked up tight. We can't get root via any exploit, and dev unlock was only available for a short time after release, then was removed. Nobody can get s-off, either. I bought mine thinking dev unlock still worked, then found out that it was revoked the very next day. Needless to say we need help rooting.
Thanks for the effort, though. If you have any ideas on the Incredible 4G, please share on the threads over there. We really need help.

I share your pain Captain. Stuck with the Inc4G myself with no s-off. Got it locked down tight, really missing my shift right about now
Doesn't work for the latest OTA of Evo Shift 4G. =/
There is a chance I might have done something wrong, but I have continuously tried different ways so I highly doubt it.
Good news for all of you R800x users. Sony Mobile has finally added MEID support for unlocking your phone through their website (this could apply to other phones that use MEID as well).
I just went through the instructions on the Sony's website for getting the unlock code and then followed Ridder's guide and the install ran without any trouble (I'm not entirely sure if his process will work with other roms, can someone confirm this?)
I'm now off Verizon's horrible rom and running CM9 .
Anyways I just wanted to let people know, enjoy
*If youre having trouble with flashtool, try doing it using using the methods discussed in the links I provided above (Sony Instructions and Ridder). Alsomake sure you have Sony's Fastboot drivers installed.
Awesome I guess, can anyone confirm this for Locked R800i models? Mine is a factory unlocked, I'm just curious if Sony decided to provide a free unlock for everyone since they abandoned us on Gingerbread.

Its worth a try. Follow the steps on the unlockbootloader link I gave above, it tells you how to check if you can unlock, and what else needs to be done.
Great news!

Yea It worked finally on CM 9!
Although my phones bootloader was unlocked over a year ago via the unlock code (thank you ashergrey) I have embedded a screenshot of what I see if I follow the prompts to unlock my phones BL, even though it is....
I just went ahead and listed my phones MEID # in the sony website and 3 seconds later had this in my email inbox.
See attachment.
As I am already unlocked it appears that Sony really is now unlocking VZ Xplays. My contract ends in 2 months and I am thinking of just getting an AT&T XP and unlocking that, can anyone with a AT&T XP see if it will work for them? That would be fantastic news if it will unlock AT&Ts as well.
Yay!

I cannot as my phone is factory unlocked, and even if I did relock my bootloader it isn't network locked so I could have always unlocked it,
My Att play still has a locked bootloader and apparently my MEID is 1 number too long. Eh, it was worth a try.

This just means R800x users will not have to pay for bootloader unlocks anymore, it doesn't effect cdma development because we have already been working with unlocked bootloaders for over a year
