Just checking if I got this right.
I'm about to sell my Legend (just ordered a Desire HD), so I want to revert back to stock. The phone is currently rooted and S-OFF using AlphaRev hboot patch.
Will the phone be completely reset if I run RUU? I just want to be 100% sure of this...
thanks.
It'll still be S-OFF

Even if hboot is flashed with the update? If so, how do I remove S-OFF?
Given that we can't downgrade the bootloader, even if the RUU does include one it won't flash it.

Isn't there any RUU with hboot 1.00 or 1.01? Considering my hboot is 0.43.0001
You're S-OFF with 0.43? Well, an RUU of 2.2 will do the trick then

Care to explain how you can have s-off with HBoot 0.43 when it's automatically uppdated to 1.0 when you run the s-off sequence?

Damn, you're right.. My bad! :/ HAdn't actually checked the version, I thought that the 0.43 vas patched, not updated.. Is there any way to restore 1.00?
I don't think so, you'd have to go higher to 1.01 by Froyo RUU...
If you are selling don't worry about removing S-off (since if you upgrade the purchaser cannot S-OFF anymore)
But if you are adamant :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870345 will do the trick and remove S-OFF
i just update to 2.3.3.. izzit mean that my dhd is now a s-off phone?
No, not at all!!!
S-off is something way different! ... there is radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF
You can learn the difference between them from HERE
You need to be rooted to do both of these. You can know what is needed to S-OFF (radio or ENG) from the links provided above.
i though htc announced that they will unlock all the bootlocker?

Hi all Wildfire owners
AlphaRev X Team says that HTC Buzz/Wildfire HBOOT 1.01 S-OFF is Coming Soon so let's hope that it will be out fast
http://youtu.be/mPNpqR-Y5ac
But is this mean the device is rooted or will need more work to do ?
I wish alpharev good luck, still waiting for S-OFF for my wildfire , but at the rate they're going, all the devices that will be getting s-off, won't be used that much and not many ppl will care anyway lol.
Still, i'd like to see some metamorphing happening on my wildfire ^_^, can't wait, i have paitience
although i don't blame them, they ARE doing it for free =)
Patience
Its been coming soon for quite some time :|

Never mind. Thought alpharev x will be the same as alpharev. Don't know about alpharev x. Let us hope it doesn't require root for making s-off.
But the result will be something like "ALL OR NONE". If it doesn't require root, then it is the complete solution. And if it requires root, it will be nothing untill wildfire gets rooted.

Yes he confirmed it just now. That was reliable and I'm starting to believe it now. That's really good.
Hope alpharev x comes soon and gives freedom to wildfire.

AlpharevX will not require permroot. It will require temproot via psneuter/gingerbreak (integrated).
And no, it has not 'been coming soon for some time'. AlpharevX is the first announcement about the possiblity to overcome HBOOT 1.x
AlphaRev in it's original form never could, nor was it ever stated it would work on HBOOT 1.x.
In other words, this supercedes AlphaRev (hence the newer name) and will provide a solution for most, if not all HTC generation devices that won't get an unlock.
A 'device' is not rooted. A rom gets 'rooted'. S-OFF enables for that su binary to actually stick, aka permroot.
Ok. Atleast now there is a good hope that 2.2 wildfire will be rooted in future. So let us stick with our device and be a little more patient for sometime. And ben confirmed that alpharev2 is ready for wildfire and is in testing phase for other devices. So, the ones with hboot 0.80 are close to their s-off.
And thanks to all those who are working for alpharev x. I wish u all the best.

Oooh I really love those guys it is incedible how they can make fun of a whole htc developer team just by giving us s-off in a way they developed in there own spare (!!) time.
If you read this, people from AlphaRev: know that I'm having deep respect here. And that I'm f*cking jalous that I can not do such things myself
W00t nice! Any info about the release date?

Yeah, sorry, i was confused between alpharev 2 and alpharev x. Eagerly awaiting it
good news
impresive, any hints on release day?
What's taking them so long to publish the process how to do it? I'm sure they are trying to make it simple.
I think nothing is simple when it comes to 2.2 wildfire.
It will take time for the alpharev x. The release date will be said at the time of release as usual. But really a good hope at the moment.

They are our only hope now , let's wish it will be out soon
Usually products from AlphaRev are for rooted devices, they've announced that on their website. So basicly, we cannot S-OFF wildfire without rooting it.
http://alpharev.nl/ Read it and carefully read the REQUIREMENTS
No lol. This one is alpharev x and it is confirmed that it won't need a prerooted device. This one is specially for hboot 1 + on all devices. So it roots + s-off the phone.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I think AlphaRev are planning to release s-off for wildfire hboot 1.01 along with 0.80 also with other devices that's y they are taking so much time but its good they are doing for as much devices as possible.. All the best for Alpha Team...
For those who want S-OFF with full NAND unlock, who have the new Hboot 2.18 and are S-ON, from a post by Captain Throwback.

Even though I haven't ever updated my hboot from 2.10 thank you sooooooooo much for showing me this. This is useful for me if I have to return to stock because of problems.
Also thank you Captain_Throwback!

Ty in advance
You need a PC to unlock your bootloader to root, unless you are already s-off. If you are only unlocked you still need a PC to fastboot flash recovery. Without USB support you're pretty much out of luck for rooting.
ETA: with your hboot version you may be able to use unrevoked to gain s-off but you will need to downgrade your radio for it to work and I'm not 100% sure you can downgrade radios with s-on, its been a while since I've flashed a radio on the evo, and I'm not sure unrevoked will work with radios above 2.10

Revolutionary is for 2.16, I misread it at first and tthought he had 2.18 but that's why I corrected it and said unrevoked works for hboot 2.10, I just don't know if it will work with 2.15 radio or if the radio needs to be downgraded. Unrevoked was the only way to get s-off without a PC for adb/fastboot commands. Without USB support its not going to be simple to root with radio and hboot being mismatched. The only option may be to upgrade to hboot 2.16 and run revolutionary or 2.18 and use htcdev then downgrade and gain s-off. Its not like there's a simple app to one-click s-off HTC devices, unfortunately. I'm not even sure which unrevoked would be needed to s-off 2.10 with 2.15 radio, and if the radio needs to be downgraded idk if you can downgrade em without s-off, its been a while since I've flashed radios on my evo and i haven't had to s-off it in a long time, I think my hboot is like 0.97 or something older than dirt by phone standards

Isn't hboot 2.10 good for unrevoked? Does radio really matter? I thought it was just hboot.
