Hi,
Did you do a "fastboot oem unlock" ? with cmd in Windows ?
In PARAMETERS / DEVELOPPEMENT OPTION / UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER, is it really on ?
"S-OFF (security off)"
"S-ON (security on)"
What makes the S-OFF ?
The S-OFF opened write access to the internal memory of absolutely completely unlock the bootloader and "root" device. :good:
There is no S-off. That is something only HTC uses.

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?
I have a HTC desire hd I want want to change rom to android revolution hd, I followed all the possible tutorials here, and I got all done until the recovery mode. I installed Rom Manager and the ClockWork Mod, but I cant get into recovery mode, i get the phone and the ! sign all the time, i reinstalled clockwork mod and reinstalled the rom manager, and nothing, all the time this problem.
I got permanroot with visionary, and it works.
Please help.
Thanks
Do you have S-OFF?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
i tried to do it, but i find some many guides about that, and i read that this can brick my dhd, so I didnt do it.
is it necessary?
Yep, you need it. Use my radio S-OFF tool, it is easy as pie. Nobody has bricked a DHD using my tool yet, the possibility of bricking is basically zero. You can find a link in my signature.
and how do i check that i have s-off??
i have done this s-off, but my phone is on the initial booting logo, htc and after the vodafone animation, and it is going over and over again.
thanks people for help. i had this that press vol - and power and you get into advance settings, then factory reset, then again root, and now is working.
thanks
solved
check my guide. regarding the ! sign, did you use "Flash clockworkmod recovery" BEFORE tapping on "reboot into recovery"?
I had that problem too but then I did s-off and clockworkmod worked. Now I need radio s-off , and I need help with choosing right radio to flash.

You need to have the radio which comes with the 1.32 you have installed.
Then use the Easy Radio tool v2.2 to make the Radio S-Off
Then you can flash the radio you need (the recommended one for the rom you are going to install) using fastboot (some tutorials there).
Hy, need some help please!
I rooted my phone, and do the s-off, and install custom rom. but what is eng s-off?
when I go to boot i have " ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF"
Do I have to make eng s-off or what or can I use my phone like that?
tnx
I'm sure if you have a little look on the forums you'll get the answer you're looking for...

ENG S-OFF is not essential, unless you want to flash a new radio although it is recommended to have it. Look in the Dev section, there is a very good tool to use.
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.
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.

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.
