I never heard of a remote s-off or any s-off solution beside xtc or alpharev (coming soon in beta) but i can always be wrong, can anyone confirm this.
Btw i got this as a private message.

Haha, stop teasing!!!

unlocked bootloader from HTC (official, coming soon..)

well.. to my surprise I got a phone call yesterday from HTC support regarding a letter I sent weeks ago about the locked S-ON phones..
from what they told me (it's customer support after all which means more marketing not technicians.. ) they are getting ready an unlocked bootloader which will be ready soon.. (don't ask me they wouldn't tell me when..)
seams kind of funny after AlpharevX but it's a good move from HTC anyway..

What did they specifically say?
Did they say that they were rolling out unlocked bootloaders for HTC Incredible S and/or other previously released phones?
I am assuming they did because I doubt you would post here if they didn't. But, I just thought I might ask.

well since they called me about the IS (I don't own another HTC phone) and said that they are preparing an unlocked bootloader for my phone (not only my phone I guess )

The 'coming soon' card has been played by HTC ever since they announced they were going to unlock the bootloaders.

I take it with a grain of salt. Coming soon can be anythinng from now to the end of the year.

I guess we don't need it any more now do we ?

they released that statement before they released the HTC Sensation, so why is sensation still locked?

It's probably because they'd already built and tested the locked bootloader prior to its release and it was too late to change it before shipping the devices. Now they'll have to build and test an unlocked one before releasing that.

your radio is still s-on,
unless you used the hardware method,
and also when you reflash your entire phone, tada, s-on
so, do you need it...?

got a Bell Inc S 3 weeks ago and mine was the same way... never thought to look until i booted to bootloader. you can flash a custom recovery and ROM, but you'll have to use the ENG hboot to flash a radio, e.g., to use the custom Unity ROM 1.27, you'll need a GB radio.

Wow that is amazing... Only if mine were shipped S-Off.

with you 2 that makes 3 confirmed S-OFF reports

So that means HTC started to unlock bootloaders by new phones ? Or only by shipped phones down example like there from.Canada ? Does anyone know when HTC is going to Do a update for the other phones ?

Wow!! They're being shipped S-Off now? You guys are lucky!!

nope

Nope this has been happening since day one in Canada, i have no idea why

I want to know too。

Lol lucky people. If only my Inc S was shipped S-OFF. :'c.
Well I suppose it's my own fault though.
I was actually stupid enough to update it fully (2.30.405.1) before even exploring my options on XDA :l.
Oh well. Challenge accepted ;D
Here's to hoping AlphaRevX will find a temproot.

HTC finally announced OTA Updates for our lovely IncS

http://www.htcinside.de/htc-beschenkt-uns-mit-updates-im-dezember/
it's in german language but im sure you can understand the dates ;-)

i translated with bing and read it
thank you for the info though

question:
if i heave s-off with revolutionary and roted phone but with original rom v 2.3.3,can do the update from setings/check for update or not?or nedet the phone be s-on again?

i'm not 100% sure, but i think i read that you need original bootloader to install the OTA updates. and if you are s-off you have a manipulated bootloader.

An OTA will check to see if you have both the previous HBOOT version and the HTC recovery in place before it attempts to apply the update. So if you are S-OFF using Revolutionary, you have both a modified HBOOT and custom recovery (CWM/Ext4) so the OTA will fail.

Will it work if I flash stock Rom

Yess! Was wating for this one.

yes, imho flashing a signed RUU rom should bring your s-on back.

Alpharevx may not work anymore for those who want OTA update because they gonna push newer Hboot into your devices. Be careful!
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

..frankly I was expecting something more for a phone paid 550€ on day one.

Finally!
I think that this is same update which Desire S got sometime ago. SMS Delay/Radio bug is fixed.
EDIT: How Desire S will get 2.3.5 & Sense 3.0 update so late? In Finland it was published in couple months ago.

Alpharevx/Revolutionary hasn't been working since the June 2011 OTA update (which contained Hboot 1.16.000), so clearly won't work on this OTA update.
So, if you're thinking of taking the OTA, consider the fact that Alpharevx/Revolutionary won't work anymore.

good news.. am sure it will work with s-off too. they are only OTA updates and should not matter if s-off or s-on
thanks

No problem for our rooted devices, someone will eventually make it flashable like what they did with the desire s. so we will just have to wait a little more until so, and after that we will have the new official rom rooted and optimized

That depends on how you S-offed in the first place. Anyway I would not think that S-off would effect OTA, its custom recovery that makes OTA fail as far as I know ?

Help

My phone always worked fine. Im using roms for a while, and yesterday suddenly the light indicator at the bottom of the phone is not working anymore. The buttons work but the light is gone, sometimes its flickering.
Can anyone help me????

S-off, and now flashed virtuous qauttro rom. Working great for now but my button lights flickering. What u mean with htcdev unlock?
tnx

Sounds like a loose connection as they should never flicker. Either repair yourself or pay HTC to fix it. I think its 150 to repair broken screens so it'll be something like that.

Virtuous Quattro has some problems with the light on the buttons, have you enabled Auto-Brightness?

the flickering lights didnt start when i was using virtuous quattro. Thats not the problem, i hope it was.
150 to fix-_-
Hmm isnt there any other way i could try?

Looks like a hardware problem as you have tried other roms as well. You are s-off by xtc clip or alpharevx or revolutionary or htcdev? You can give it to the service centre after s-on (not if it is by xtc clip) and flashing a official rom.

Only if your warranty is valid. Don't go stock unless it is.
