Please work on S-Off hboot 2.02.0002 without using HTCDEV

Hi, guys. I know that some of you are brilliant at making the ways to S-Off the previous Hboot. Currently, the Hboot from official update is 2.02.0002. And I heard that only HTCDEV unlock is the only way to gain root access.
However, I still hope that you guys can kindly work on making other ways beside using HTCdev. Incredible S users will appreciate your kindness.
Thank you.

The problem is that with HTCDEV unlock the S- remain on ON even the root access is possible (but I have to understand what is the advantage to have S-OFF)

One main thing with s on is that you have to manually fastboot flash boot.img after new roms / kernels

The advantage of S-OFF???
- you still have warranty ( in order to claim it, u have to re-lock your phone)
- you can flash rom from recovery app
- you can flash rom from recovery without pushing kernerl ( or whole rom dunno) with console.

I have install the WE WANT ICS v4 ROM without flashing boot.img and all (seems) works, but maybe is because the previous ROM was the official HTC ICS ROM

one request from me too. It would be awesome

+1 for the 2.02 root + s- off utility.
I'd be really happy to see a rooting utility for linux, everything I ve seen so far is in windows.
Keep up the great work guys!

With the unlocked bootloader you can flash a custom ROM and then you can flash either SuperSU or su-3.1.3 and give the Sense 3.6 ROM root access.

Thanks !

There is a script that lets you downgrade your 1.16/2.00/2.01 HBOOT to version 1.13 which can then use Revolutionary to gain S-OFF.
The current script uses tacoroot exploit to gain temproot which does not currently work with HBOOT 2.02. That is what this thread discussion is about and in reference to.

S-off achieved.. what now?

Hey.
Managed to s-off my HTC incredible s with revolutionary, All works well and no issues. But what are the bennifits of this? Can I flash any rom made for my incS with out fastbooting the boot.img? I'm confused because some roms still don't boot.
Thanks :thumbup:

Yes with Revolutionary S-OFF you will be able to flash custom ROMs while in recovery without needing to manually flash the boot.img in FASTBOOT mode.
There are several reasons why some ROMs may not boot. If you allowed Revolutionary to install Revolutionary CWM recovery, then that is an older version. You may want to install 4EXT touch recovery instead. In other cases, the ROMs have specific wipe instructions that you must follow before you flash the ROM. If you do not follow them, it could cause issues with the ROM.
If you have problems with specific ROMs, then I would search the ROM's thread to see if others have run into the issue or if more detailed process may have been posted based on users' experiences.

Okay thanks, I don't use clockwork mod I had flashed 4EXTRecovery flashed with recovery.img. I will give a look into into it and play with some roms then get back to you. Thanks

htc vivid

My question is my HTC vivid is carrier unlocked and I want flash custom Rom. Now if I do this will it relock back to att thanks in adavnc

No. It won't.

thanks and i just flashed the blitz rom and it is bootloopin, so i am downloading a ph39img file hopefully that will get it back to at least working

Is your phone S-ON, the kernel may need to be flashed separately from the rom. This may be the cause of your bootloop?

Why are you hanging out here bro? Head over to the Sprint forums!
Anyway, dont do that! Why not flash OMJ's ROM? There are a couple of bugs, I believe, but they're probably minor.

Anyway, the only req for taking update is stock recovery. And stock ROM, of course. You can flash the stock recovery.
No need to RUU or relock boot loader.
