YOU ARE Doing these well, if you flash ARev.HD later you can go back flashing an stok rom take this link for choose your OFFICIAL RUU...
http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
but i think that if you taste a cooked rom you are not going back to RUU OFFICIAL ROM hahahah
CERTAINLY.. have you made HBOOT S OFF ENG-SPL????(its fully reversible flashing an stok rom) and It makes possible to recover the system of a bad flash recovery...
sorry for my bad english

What I think SERGI.3210 is trying to say, is that you need ENG HBoot or ENG S-OFF before you can flash radios.
Here are the threads you should read,
ENG S-OFF
RADIO S-OFF

I did not flash (well, I dont think I did) hboot and i don't now how to do this either the tekst in bootloader says this:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
How do I make HBOOT S OFF ENG-SPL and is their a way to check if I already have it?
And what does this do?

uups!!! thanks andyharney! i forgot to put that you need ENG S-OFF to flash radios!!
certainly... take this XDA´S LINK for go back to OFICIAL RUU:
http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/

Use the ENG S-OFF tool in the first link to get ENG S-OFF. Without this you cannot flash radio.img's via fastboot.
Once you have ENG S-OFF use the other link to get Radio S-OFF. The tools are very easy to use and 99.9999999999999999% safe.

I took another look at the article i used to root and it said this:
you will have permanent root (S-OFF), as well as subsidy unlock and SuperCID. At this point, you can also choose to flash the engineering hboot
If you don't want the engineering hboot, just reboot your phone. You can verify you have permanent root by holding volume down while powering on (you'll see S-OFF in the first line of the bootloader). You are now free to install a new recovery and start flashing custom ROMs. If you don't want to flash a new ROM, it's safe to uninstall the Visionary app at this point.
Does this mean i already have radio S-OFF?

[Q]restore S-on when not rooted

i have been having problems with my phone and tried updating it to the GB RUU. It still had problems so i sent in for a new one and i came in the mail today. The problem is that it is still S-off and i was wondering if it could be madse S-on while not rooted and if not is there a way to root it since it is S-off

To get s-on you would need a custom recovery installed and the stock froyo radio 2.15.00.07.28 then flash the s-on patch on the unrevoked site. Since your s-off all you need to do is flash clockwork recovery thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip. Then flash the stock froyo radio also as a PB31IMG.zip. Then flash the s-on patch thru recovery. After that just run an ruu and your phone will be complete stock again. You can find all the files you need here http://pvillecomp.com/, except the s-on patch wich you can get on the unrevoked forever site here http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever .

[Q] I cant figure out how to get S-OFF.

I ran revolutionary a while ago which gave me access to superuser but when i went to install busy box it failed i looked at the phone in boot mode says s-off, looked thru some guides havent found anything exactly like this?
HTC EVO 4G
SUPERSONIC EVT2-2 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-6.17.0001
RADIO 2.15.00.0808

I don't remember having to install busybox,i know that all custom roms have it built in,if you have a working recovery,then go ahead and download and install a custom rom.

Busybox is integrated into most custom ROMs, like Diablo67 states. If you're S-ON, you're going to need to boot into recovery via fastboot, to flash your kernel/ROM simultaneously.

Your device is not S-OFF. It appears to be in the middle of the process to return it to stock. You'll need to flash a stock ROM to it to normalize the HBOOT version, and then you can re-root with Revolutionary.

You don't install a PC36IMG in recovery; it's flashed through the bootloader.

finally figured it out thanks for your help.

Do I need s-off to flash roms?

I just unlocked my cousins evo 4g. I was wondering if I need s-off to flash Roms. If so. Can someone give me a link to a tutorial .

Well, you need Clockworkmod but you can't install clockworkmod without S-off, my Evo actually has S-on with clockworkmod and I can install roms no problem I don't even know how S turned back on but it did lol... It's really easy to google and find a guide on rooting/turning s-off but regardless here ya go, it's a list of a ton of guides for the Evo and rooting involves turning s-off.

I did install clockworkmod while on s-on

If you are like me, and would rather visually see it happen, go check out the beloved YouTube. There are lots of videos of people showing you exactly how to do it, step by step.
Hit thanks if I turned you in the right direction!
Good Luck!

Unrevoked rev works well to root it if you didn't take the latest OTA Clockwork mod 4.0 works well for it afterwards to flash and wipe.

If you are s-on (OOW unlocked) on hboot 2.18 u can used fastboot to flash a recovery, you should be using Amon RA on the evo and not cwm or twrp. If you are on hboot 2.15/.16 you need to use revolutionary.io to achieve s-off and gain recovery and the flash SU and SU binaries. Any hboot prior to 2.16 you use unrevoked or one of its variants to get s-off. If you're hboot 2.18 s-on locked you use htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader from there you can use fastboot to flash recovery or you can follow captain throwbacks guide to downgrade your hboot to an earlier version and achieve s-off. With s-on unlocked you can do (almost) anything you can do with s-off except you won't be able to flash PC36IMG.zip files, which include recoveries, radio updates, splashscreens, and RUU files.

Hey -EViL-KoNCEPTz-
You got me kinda confused now. I thought the new CWM got the problems fixed with clearing the cache? If not, then is the Amon RA safe to use, it hasn't been updated in for ever. If you still recommend Amon RA, how do I change to that?
Also, I still have s-on.
Mine says:
*** UNLOCKED***
Supersonic EVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-2.18.0001
How do I get it to S-OFF or do I need to?
I've been flashing back and forth to different Roms for a few days now. I'm still trying to find the one I like where everything works.

I'm in the same boat as custm2007 except it's on my friends phone. What would be the best way to get s-off after rooting it or do I even need to? I'll be doing everything for him so he won't be flashing much at all.

http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...-18-HBOOT-with-HTCDev-com-No-More-Watermark!-

To actually answer the question... No you do not need to be s-off to flash rom's. Once unlocked you can flash a recovery through fastboot and flash rom's to your hearts content. This is currently how my phone is, and I have no complaints. Please see my blog for a tutorial for flashing recovery and su binaries.

This was how i did it way back when. It was the easiest method for me.

Can't get Unroot to Work

Here are my specs, I appreciate if someone could help. I want to take it in to Sprint because I've been having bad battery problems. I've googled alot and obivously read all thru the forum but I can't seem to get it. When I tried to roll my radio back, I got an error. I don't want to brick so I figured I'd ask. Thanks in Advance!

What you need to do is google the RUU for the .93 hboot. What I would recommend since I am most familiar [and easiest method] is to search for the radios thread in the dev section > flash the 2.10 hboot. After you flash the hboot, go to the unrevoked site > flash the s-on zip in recovery. Verify in your bootloader that it is s-on > afterwards, track down the 3.70 RUU [appropriate for that bootloader] > name it PC36IMG.zip > flash in bootloader. If you can't find the RUU, let me know; I have it on my dropbox.

Thank you for the reply! One question, if they won't swap it out, will it be difficult to reroot?

No it won't since its the 2.10 bootloader, you just need to run the unrevoked program, after enabling usb debugging, installing the unrevoked drivers. One of the easiest rooting methods. Just DO NOT take any firmware updates after you unroot.

Just flash a stock rooted ROM of latest ota...delete superuser apk make sure you have the sprint bootani and splash screen...as long as they dont get into bootloader menu you are golden....worked for me they didnt have a clue i was rooted...got home put custom bootani and splashscreen back on dl superuser again no harm no foul

Yes you can do that, though I've seen plenty of users do that and the service rep check the bootloader, then have their account flagged because of it.

For unrEVOked, the bootloader version doesn't matter - it's the Baseband version that needs to be supported. Upgrading HBOOT won't make the unrEVOked S-ON zip work.
I recommend flashing the 2.15.00.11.19 Radio from Calk's Radio thread. Then the unrevoked S-ON zip will work, and finally an RUU can be run, or PC36IMG.zip flashed in bootloader for the stock unrooted ROM version of choice.

See, I couldn't remember, so good looking out. And actually that is the best radio to use, just about every other one gives you that error. Thanks for your input.

For the record this worked PERFECTLY! FLAWLESS VICTORY!!
In doing all of that...Sprint said my device was perfectly fine, however they did give me a new battery. I guess I have to deal with it until Aug when I can get an upgrade. That said.....I'm on 2.2 Froyo...what's the easiest way to root back??
