What does S-ON and S-OFF stand for?

Hi, I was checking my phone versions using fastboot. In the description after PVT 32B, it says S-ON for one phone and S-OFF for another phone. Does anyone know what the S stands for?
Carrier: T-Mobile
Phone name: Google Ion
Phone version: SAPPHIRE PVT 32B DEV S-ON G
SPL/HBOOT: 1.33.3004 (SAPP30000)
Radio: 2.22.19.26I
Mod version: CyanogenMod-3.9.11.2
Recovery Image: CyanogenMod v1.4
Carrier: T-Mobile
Phone name: G1
Phone version: DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
SPL/HBOOT: 1.33.2005 (DREA10000)
Radio: 2.22.19.26I
Mod version: CyanogenMod-4.0.1
Recovery Image: CyanogenMod v1.4

Where they purchased far apart from each other, timewise?

I believe it has something to do with the signature check when trying to flash something like an SPL that it has to verify. The S-OFF i believe that was the one that was able to be flashed by Hykuros spl for the phone and the one that said S-ON wouldnt flash .. until the goldcard came out

Just figured it out. One of your phones is the Google Ion, the other is the G1. Same "brand", different "model".

maybe its the security lock ?
sim lock or something like that ?

* S-ON : Security On (does NOT write directly boot from NAND)
* S-OFF : Security Off (writes directly boot from NAND)

Help.Problem Downgrade+Rooting Htc Dream Movistar

I bought a black HTC Dream,it`s from Movistar (Spain) provider,it is unlocked.
I tried all the steps on this forum, i tried to downgrade to rc29,but when i press the camera+power button, appears a white background (with some android skaters down), and when it reads the Dreamimg.nbh , it says model id incorrect.
I tried to do the cupcake update(that is what i want to do) and when i go into the bootloader with home+power,hit alt+l and alt+s, an error cannot verify package.
If someone has this kind of problems and solved it,i would be very gratefull if u can help me.Thanks in advance.
In the camera+power it says:
Dream PVT 32B SHIP S-ON

Perfect SPL + 32B EBI1

Hi. So I got my HTC branded Dream two days ago. Things are going great but I'm getting the urge to mod. I seem to read different 'facts' everywhere. Also people use EBI1 and 32A interchangably. If you guys could could just tell me if I'm on the right track or about to kill my phone...
SPL states:
Dream PVT 32B SHip s-on d
HBOOT-1.33.0010 (DREA20000)
CPLD-4
radio-3.22.20.17
So thats a 32B board with a EBI1 radio with the perfect SPL.
To get to cyanogenMod 4.2.5 from stock:
1.) Install FlashRec 1.1.3
2.) Use to flash Cyanogen 1.4.32A recovery image (cm-recovery-1.4-32A.img)
3.) Boot to recovery and Flash normal Android 1.6 Recovery Image (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)
4.) Flash CyanogenMod ROM (update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip)
5.) Flash EBI1 radio port (bc-4.2.5a-ebi1-signed.zip)
Questions:
Is that right?
Will the phone will be rooted in the process?
Can I change to developer SPL .0005 safely?
Can use any theme for regular G1s?
Does this mean I have 288MB?
Thx

and....? did it work?

You have to be rooted to do all that first.

It'll work, but you'll need specific 32B/EBI kernels for the ROMS. And not all EBI patches are alike.
And no, it won't magically give you extra memory.

[Q] Which Rom to use for Rogers HTC dream 32B?

Can someone shade some light? I have a rooted HTC Dream from Rogers Canada showing the following information:
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

Now coming to downloading Rom images should I go with the one Compatible with:
HTC Dream (32a): RogersDream, Vodafone Dream or HTC Dream (32b): T-Mobile G1 / HTC ADP1
Please note mine has 32b board.

A) there is no such thing as a 32a dream
B) the radio determines the memory layout ebi0 for 1.x and 2.x radios, ebi1 for 3.x radios, nothing else works on a dream at this point in time
C) magic32a devices where the first with the ebi1 radio/kernel so many of the ebi1 roms are called 32a (the 32a radio does allow access to the extended memory on a 32a magic, however this is impossible on 32b magic/dreams due to the lack of phyisical ram)
D) you can switch to a 2.x radio with fastboot, only thimg to note: it may not be calabrated as well for 2g networks and if you are a rogers customer you may need to call to retain your data if the online wavier fails
Note use of recovery to flash a 2.x radio will brick your phone so don't do it that way.
As for what should you install, if there is no radio or spl in the upgrade.zip it will not brick your phone, if its for the wrong radio type it will not boot.. thus you need ebi1 roms unless you use fastboot to install an ebi0 radio.

I just dusted off my Rogers Dream and I'm running exactly what you posted above on CyanogenMod 6.0.0-DS.
I noticed your signature states Ginger Yoshi now for the Dream, what did you do or instructions did you follow?

[Q] What's my capabilities. Rogers Dream

I'm trying to figure out whether or not I'm post or prior to the 911 patch. Here are some of the specs to my phone.
