Hi,
I tried to upgrade my Dream to a version of And 2.2, after flashing my phone was boot looping, so re reflashed to rc29 using xda's return to stock guide. It boots fine now in normal mode, but now I can't get into recovery and I cant get anything to flash, not even rc29 again. If I try flashing using the phone I get Model ID incorrect, with fastboot I get remote: not allow. Very few threads mention HBOOT 1.33.0014, maybe its the problem? Any help would be appreciated
DREAM PVT 32B
HBOOT 1.33.0014
CPLD-4
RADIO-3.22.26.17
Forgot to mention, its Rogers but I don't have a sim card
Use the telnet method to flash a new recovery, in the future if you ever get stuck and have to flash the orange.nbh not the dreaimg.nbh

I tried reflashing with orange also, same message, though I didn't try with telnet because I couldn't get it connected to localhost.
typed telnetd at home screen
started telnet when I click connect
I get either server refused
or null

you should make a gold card (just goole it)
or well can you update via ota, under settings look for updates, if you can get to 1.5 then you can use androot or maybe see if THIS GUIDE helps.
ive only rooted one rogers branded g1, and you dont do the dreaimg.nbh method rather
LIKE SO but at this point you need to move on, try some of the above stuff

ok went searching for update in settings and noticed firmware is at 1.5 , I didn't think it could update automatically without a sim? so I'm guessing DREAIMG.nbh didn't take? Just messed my recovery? I installed Androot and it says I'm "already rooted, root again?" The first guide you pointed to THIS GUIDE says for "Tmobile G1 only", should I go ahead anyway? The last one LIKE SO , I would like to try the rogers_1.89.631.1.nbh but it seems to have disappeared from the net. I'll look into the gold card idea this weekend. Thx for your input :good:

Well made a gold card, but got a message "main version is older" when I tried to update the image, I think the problem is finding the right image file. I thought Gold cards got around that? I guess I'll just use 1.5, doesn't have everything I want, but its working at least. thx for the help just the same
The gold card didn't take, may need to use a different sd.
But did you say you have root? Do you have a custom recovery? Maybe you can go about this in a different way, can you post everything on your bootloader screen?

I read your post to m3talmouth:
Find amonra recovery in xda, latest is 1.7 something
Put on root of sd card and name it recovery.img
Open a terminal and type
su
If you see a # procees
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
If you have an error it could be you need to add the flash image bianary or you have a bad download or named it wrong,
I figured It might work for me, now I have AmonRA recovery 1.7 :good:
So now following the guide you posted earlier http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Dream/Rooting_Branded_EBI1s, I should install the engineering SPL, then the EB1 port file, then flash cm 6.1.zip?
Hey good! Well if you have a custom recovery you are most of the way there, now remember you have a rogers dream and need tgo flash the proper radio and spl, make sure they are listed for your phone, check md5sums, flash radio first then spl then id recomend cm5 (faster) flash rom and gapps
Do this right, just the other day someone flashed either spl first or a curropt image and got a brick. Only warning so you don't but as long as you do what I said above you'll be safe

Well...I i did a nandroid backup, tried i now have the eng SPL installed, tried the CM 6.1 as it was easier to find for my phone + the port file, but it stuck at rogers boot screen. I've seen some posts for 2708 kernel but it never mentions this in any of the install guides. I have found CM 5 roms but only with the 2708 kernel and no mention of rogers, so I'm staying clear of those for the moment. Will search some more for CM 5, its not Android 2.2 though is it?
Cm5 is 2.1 but smoother than cm6 on these phones. You can flash the one in cm wiki just flash the right kernel on top of it. If you want to do the 2708+ update (I say a good idea) then just follow ezterrys instruction in his thread. Download radio and SPL, check md5sums, and then flash via fastboot. Now they can also be flashed in recovery but I don't recommend it. After that you can flash any of the newer ROMs and it won't mater that your phone was once rogers. But older ROMs (mostly eclair and older) will need a different kernel flashed on top of them

Success!!!!! I have CM 5.08 + 2708 installed and working, thx for everything, will try this mod for a while to see if it covers all I need, if so I'm good to go. :laugh: :good:
Awesome! You may need to move to froyo if apps you need aren't avalible on 2.1, there are many good aosp and cm variants just straight cm6 is kinda poor on these phones, try a few out, make nandroids so you can change back easy, there are about a dozen 2.3 and 2.2 roms that I feel run great on the dream and I personally keep a back up of each for a quick change

Do not forget that your phone is no longer EBI1.
You will no longer need to flash EBI1 ports.
On a side note, looks like you somehow got the 1.33.0014 update.
1.33.0014 is a bootloader released by HTC somewhere last year for HTC Dream. They claimed it was unlockable, and you could flash with it. I did the unlock process, and I can promise you that HTC duped us. It's not unlockable. The unlock does absolutely nothing other than change the text at the top. I even had someone reverse some of the code, and they claimed the code for doing fastboot flash doesn't seem to be there.
yeah the .0014 official unlocked bootloader is a crock, when it first came out i was about to test it and someone else here tried first, turned into a nightmare for him so i tell all to stay away! some phones it actually isnt too bad if better ways like hacked bootloaders or radio s-off has been found for it, but its a pain and you usually need to flash a rom in recovery, extract the kernel from the .zip and then flash the kernel through fastboot.
so yeah any phone that you dont need this option, stay far away from it!

Ok so here's the deal. I was putting a new Rom on my g1 which I've done many times before. Before I I put this Rom on I had to put certain aol and ratio on first. So I put the radio on successfully . And everything was fine (radio: 2.22.27.08) .but then I flashed the hoot (1.33.0013d) it work and its on my phone but soon as it did I noticed it turned s-on . And I'm sure that's what caused it. And I tried to restore back up roms and won't boot up. None of my roms will. It just gets to the G1 screen and shuts off and true to boot again.over and over. So my question is . Is how do I turn s-on back to s-off? Please help me
You had the same problem I was having. Which ROM are you trying to flash? I don't know if it matters or not if S is ON or OFF. Mine currently is S-ON. And up and running.
Yoshiginger something. but I gave up. and just changed the hboot and radio back and that worked. but I got another question you might can help me with about my brothers magic. his s-off changed to s-on to. the only problem is on his the recovery isn't working. so is there anyway that I can flash a hboot through bootloader or any other alternate way like maybe terminal emulated?
The other way I know is adb fastboot. He might be able to download the FlashRec.apk and install it on his phone. Then flash the recovery of his choice to see if the Recovery mode will come back.
Ok we will try it. Is that Rom you got good? Never heard of it before

1.33.0013d is S-ON but modified a little so it doesn't have all of the normal restrictions
if you use 1.33.0013d and 2708 or 2825 radio you *must* use a compatible kernel
all of the solutions to your confusion are in that post linked above
in future you should take some time to read ( and understand ) things before doing

ezterry's gingerbread is way better than yoshiginger imo
basically yoshiginger is an earlier version of ezterry's gingerbread with some cyanogen apks added
there is no good reason to use a cut and shut job when you can use the real thing
You can also try SuperAosp. It have 15MB root additional. I am currently using it. It also works with this SPL/radio combo.

That was what I was going for at first, or something similiar. And I end up with what I have. LOL!
So my not so brilliant girlfriend tried to flash a ROM herself and its now in a reboot loop with HTC white screen and a sprint load screen. No backup, computer does not recognize the phone when plugged in, it does charge though. Hboot 1.47 does work and so does CWR 2.5.07....I tried to flash HERCIMG.ZIP but its not finding it in Hboot. I can see the file in recovery though. It is S-On, so I know there may be issues with that as well. I did format the SD card via my computer card reader as well.
I have another phone for her but I really just want to see if I can fix it. Anyone have any longshot ideas?
go here,,,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759955,, its an s-off tool. install it and you may be able to flash your HERCIMG.img file. Or you can possibly get an RUU thats flashable through HBOOT and then reroot and start from scratch... later man
Im obviously cool with going back to factory at this point. Given cuurent state of the loop, anything do needs to be flashable I think.
I know you can find RUU's here in developement.somewhere that are flashable from hboot and some from recovery which ever you prefere or are able to. Iust sewrch the developement thread, youll fond what your lookinh for. Going bqck to stock and rerooting is my best advice , that will wipe out what ever your"not so bright girlfreind" may have borked....later

You need to be s-off the flash a HERCIMG file from h-boot, you can ruu though. If toy can get into recovery, just flash a new Rom and gapps. Make sure you format everything in cwm multiple times. I format boot, system, cache and data 3x. Sounds like overkill, but it cleans out the dingleberries.
You think Meth is bad? Try being a flash whore with a Gingerbread habit and a legacy device! It ain't pretty.

If you use the HERCIMG that is for S-ON it will downgrade your radio automatically.

Have you checked to make sure that you haven't named it HERCIMG.zip.zip? If you put .zip in the name, it will show up twice. If you can get into recovery, I don't see why you want to ruu when you could use something more optimized (like NFX sense roms) or custom CM7, AOSP, etc.
You should be able to ruu without changing the radio. It will change it when you flash the ruu. Use Darchs SPL ENG for S-off and you don't have to change the radio I believe for that one. Regaws is permanent and you need to downgrade I think.
I rooted my hero almost 3 years ago, i believe it was some method using the cmd in windows. So i just checked today for the first time if i had S-Off but i have S-On. I haven't had any issues with flashing, wiping, etc but i want to make it S-Off anyway. Would i have to re-root using a modern method?

I figured out that it was my radio..so i downloaded the .27 radio but my recovery couldn't flash that radio and i can't find any links for 2.5.0.7 so i'll try flashing Amon RA and then flashing the radio and unrevoked.
Okaaaay my TE is blind. I extracted Darchstar's ra zip to my sdcard and i got the img file. So i go into TE and type "su", then "flash_image recovery /sdcard/Darchstar_ra.img" but when i type that it says "flash_image: not found" I have it right on the root of my sdcard. I even tried flashing the zip via recovery but it failed lol, anyway can someone help me out please. Either a 2.5.x.x img of clockwork that i can flash or helping me with whatever the problem is for T.E
If you want to go go back to 2.5.0.7 use rom manager, once you get it back you should be good to go for.the unrevoked zips.

You can flash to s-off with darchstar's Eng-SPL with .29 radio. Follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13955725&postcount=19. You can get the flashable zip with Eng-SPL here for now: http://tinyurl.com/863zya4

Except, I'm not fully sure what this buys me that I didn't already have with root. I know I can flash recoveries from my terminal emulator, now.

I keep a recovery.img in my HERCIMG.zip on my sdcard. I use firerats so whenever I want to try a different ROM, I boot into HBOOT and then update my recovery which gets rid of firerats. Then I can boot right to recovery. Saves me having to type out the flash_image command.
I also have a HERCIMG with a rooted stock ROM. I can then flash through HBOOT on the phone and use that to update PRL's without having to restore through recovery. If you browse around, way back someone posted a HERCIMG with the 651.7 RUU as well. That HERCIMG will remove this S-OFF.
It also enables you to use the fastboot commands.
Seems more convenient to me anyway.
Ok, nice! That would be great to be able to flash recoveries (or system images) that way.
Except, i have tried it every way I can think of and HBOOT won't recognize my HERCIMG.zip (or HERCIMG.ZIP...tried both, but i doubt its case sensitive). It always says "No image!" for HERCIMG.ZIP. The zip contains a recovery.img and the android-info.txt files.
I also tried:
-re-formatting my sdcard in recovery and placing the HERCIMG.zip back in there
-updating the android-info.txt for 2.31 or 2.27 versions...not sure that matters for flashing recoveries.
any ideas? Is there an issue with version 1.46 HBOOT? Do i need to be on 1.47 with S-OFF? I'm on 1.46.2000 with ENG S-OFF and a .29 radio.
I've seen a lot of other threads about this, but there doesn't seem to be one sure fire way to get them to be recognized.

No dice. Same thing. Says "no image!" when it gets to the HERCIMG.zip part of the HBOOT.
Does it matter how I got it to the root of my sdcard? I copied it via USB/windows.

Make sure you name the HERCIMG.zip just "HERCIMG", it automatically becomes a HERCIMG.zip. Check the properties/details and make sure it is not named HERCIMG.zip.zip, then it won't recognize it. Also, make sure that the image inside the zip is named recovery.img and not something else, that has caused me problems in the past. S-off has saved me a few times when I have lost recovery. I also always keep a HERCIMG on my sd card with a recovery and it works great for Ruu's too!
Thanks for the help guys...but, still doesn't recognize anything. I've tried everything i can think of. Using HERCIMG files supplied by others, ones i found on xda, and created my own (in windows and in astro file manager on my phone). It has never recognized any of them. I even made sure by checking the file names in the terminal emulator that the extension/filename was correct (no zip.zip's). I also tried every combination of case (i.e. hercimg.zip, HERCIMG.zip, HERCIMG.ZIP). Looking in the terminal made me wonder if its a permissions thing with the filenames? Can't imagine that's it, b/c its got to be root user who's executing the process, right?
I'm at a loss on this one. I'm sure there's a solution, but i'm about to give up. This sH(* is annoying.
What else do you have in the zip? Is there an android-info.txt in there? What steps are you doing to install? Here is the HERCIMG that I use- http://db.tt?URG9r5L9, it's an Orange Lantern 4.0.1.4 Unofficial Clockwork.
I just reread and saw that you do have the android-info.txt. I have the same H-Boot and radio as you do too. You shouldn't need to do anything but put on the root of the SD card (don't pop in a file) and click the trackball from H-boot. It should install and then ask if you want to reboot. Press phone then home to get into recovery from there. Good luck and let me know if you pull the HERCIMG from my link.
Cool, thanks, i'll try that when i get home, since big brother is watching my downloads at work.
Did you use darch's ENG SPL method? I read a lot of threads where people had to downgrade their radio to the .27 before getting S-OFF. I never did that. Just flashed the HBOOT zip referred to earlier in this thread (referred by poashll).
Looks like its just a link to dropbox.com...not getting a file. Am i missing something?
So im using my spare G1 phone as a backup due to my Mytouch 4g crapping out. I don't want to spend the money on a new phone yet because i heard the Galaxy S4 is suppose to come out next year. I rather save my money and get that. On the other hand my G1 is slow and sluggish at times and so i wanted to update it to make it run smooth and faster. I did some searching and came across a guy who was showing a tutorial video on how to go from 1.6 to 2.2 android. Im new to this and this is my first time actually attempting to do this.
I went ahead and downgraded whatever version my G1 was to a RC29 like how the guy instructed me to and everything installed and booted right up like how it is suppose to. Now the next step is is to get the Telnet app which i did and when i was trying to type one specific command like (....... recovery recover.img) the telnet says no such file or something. I tried it again and nothing so i dont know maybe i might have done something wrong. So now the question is.. what can i do now? MY phone works fine but i rather have it updated. My friend who does this talks about like Cupcake being what he uses on his newer phone? Where can i go from here?
If you succesfully downgraded you are on android 1.0 and of course don't want to stay there. You need a recovery image put on the root of sd card. Then you need to open keyboard and hit enter twice
Then do nothing more than open telnet and hit ok
Then type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
You'll see ##
Then reboot to recovery (hold home while powering on) flash a new rom. To go further you need to update your spl and radio. Then again update to the .28 radio and .13d spl, been a while since I have done this so read a guide quick. Google search
Cyanogen wiki root dream - get you links and instructions here
And flash cyanogen4
Make sure all is working then find ezterry's guide in the developers threar called 2708+ update or something to that extent. You'll need to know how to use fastboot (well it can be done in recovery but its not as safe)
Now you can flash newer roms.
If you get stumped search, if you're still stuck feel free to ask again

I think that is what i dont have.. is that root image. When i enter to the talnetd and enter that command to do the ".... recovery.img".. it says file not found. What do i have to go do? And yes i dont want to be stuck lol.
keep trying.
i like to put a telnet icon on the home screen then i do this and only
*be on home screen with nothing open
*open keypad and hit enter key twice and type telnetd
*close keypad
*press home
*touch telnet icon
*select ok
*type, flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (notice spaces)
*wait for ## (3seconds)
boot to recovery
========make sure you named image recovery.img (windows may hide file extensions so you may want to name it just recovery)
dang now i gotta go find that video with the commands to type in. I totally forgot which one lol. let me seee
No need for a video
Google search cyanogen wiki root dream
Its all spelled out nicely

So i found that wiki page... still having that same problem. I installed and updated and rebooted the phone to the RC29. Now after downloading the "Amon_Ra's Recovery" file it says to rename the file to "recovery.img" and to copy to the sd card. So im guessing that is the K drive that i ahve the phone showing up as right? I did that and then open up telnet to type in the command "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img".. then it says "No such file or directory". So maybe i didnt send the recovery file to where it needs to go?
Download a file explorer and check, I believe linda works on 1.0

Ok i downloaded the fiel viewer and i see what i did wrong... when i renamed the file to "Recovery.img" the file on the sd card reads "recovery.img.img" lol Let me see if i can go thru it again using that file name. If not then i will have to do everything all over again.
Soooo i downloaded the Telnet and typed in the command "recover.img.img" and it worked. The (2) # signs showed up so now the Amon_Ra' file is installed. Now the next step for me to do is "Flashing the Radio"?
Yeah windows can hide file extensions some times.
Follow the radio update in the wiki
Then the spl update
Then flash cm5
Play around and then we can work on further upgrades to get newer roms working well

Ok i updated the Radio now and i went to check and see what i have DangerSPL.. my phone says in boot mode
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.23.02
..... now what do i do next?
Oh so i went ahead and DL the DangerSPL... installed it.. updated it... now im running on 2.2 i guess. I was trying to get the CyanogenMod6 but the wiki links are down... so i searched and stumbled onto this site
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-6-android-2-2-froyo-on-htc-dream-g1/
which had the DL link to Mod6 and the google apps.
So now the phone is rooted and ready to go furthere?
Make sure you have a fully functioning os, see what it is like, find a rom called super e or super d and see if you like those.
You can upgrade further if you feel it necessary.
To do so find ezterrys 2708+ thread and install new radio and spl via fastboot
All links will be found in the xda developers thread within the first couple pages

Ok i will try that out. Are those one of the nicer programs to go with? Also will it have the google play market? Because i know the andriod market sucks ass and it doesnt have anything on there at all.
Yeah you have to be at least at froyo or possibly gingerbread for the play market.

Update... So in the end i ended up going with the Cyanogemod 6 only because it was easier to follow the steps. This is my first time ever doing this to a phone lol. Again i would like to thank you for your time and helping me out. Sooner or later ill probably update with a different rom and overall i learned how to flash and root phones lol. Thanks again!
Right on, cm5 is faster on our phones especially if you haven't upgraded to the .13d hboot yet. But congrats, play around and enjoy! Make sure to make a nandroid backup in recovery before flashing something else so you can quickly revert back

Oh i didnt know that lol i just assumed the cm6 was good only because it was a higher number. Yes i will for sure back it up and all. Thanks!
Hello all,
I'm sorry to interrupt you all, but this is rather important!
I tried to root my girlfriends Velocity 4G which she got with her contract with A1 (austrian carrier).
I already flashed a One S and knew of the complications a root for HTC could bring.
So I tried to get everything together before flashing and then I did it...
Got the bootloader unlocked, installed TWRP and flashed sun_dreams rom.
Don't worry, I wiped all clean and think I did it the right way (already flashed 4 other phones, but samsungs').
But I seem to have missed something as I got in a neverending bootanimation (white background with green htc logo).
I know, that you sometimes have to wait a few minutes, but after about 5 minutes or so, I thought I was stuck on boot loop.
So I rebooted, flashed it again and rebooted and nothing changed.
I then read about the boot.img... So I extracted the boot.img and did a full wipe, then installed it, after that the rom and then (just to be safe) three times again the boot.img.
Rebooted and now I got the reboot loop (white background with green logo, then black, then white background again and so on)
I tried everything and as I was about to give up, read about the final solution: the RUU or PH39IMG.zip.
Now the problem is: I cant get either of them to work. At all. When trying to flash the RUU (with bootloader relocked), the programm says: "ERROR 170: No device connected".
I read about some other people having the same problem, so I tried the solution given to them: go to the first screen, then to your temp data, extract the rom.zip, rename it and flash that one, via putting it on the external sd and booting into bootloader.
Didn't work either: Wrong CID. Same for all RUUs I could find even closely related to my phone.
As I couldn't find the real correct RUU, I tried to cheat and use the goldcard to overgo the cid-problem.
Because I couldn't boot up the Velocity 4G I tried to make one with my own Galaxy S2, which worked.
Seems to be the wrong way, since it's the wrong CID anyways, when trying to install the PH39IMG (still all RUUs say ERROR 170).
I might need to mention I didn't do the S-OFF thing, as I didn#t want to mess with the hardware... Is that necessary for my problem to getting fixed?
Maybe I just need the one correct RUU for my model, but I can't find it anywhere!
please help me somebody, as I feel very guilty because of wrecking my girlfriends phone! :crying:
any help is appreciated!!!
greetings

OK... Vodafone is still on gingerbread...
Soooo... You need a gingerbread ROM... And a gingerbread boot.img... Then get it to boot...
After that I would s-off, super cid, get to ICS hboot... Then flash the ROM of your choice

So far so good... but where do I get it from?
I have this one:
RUU_HOLIDAY_SENSE3_5_Vodafone_DE_2.38.162.1_Radio_3.02.4740.09_34.20.701040.19_release_241518_signed
But this one won't work either...
What complicates the search, is that this phone goes by so many different names (vivid, velocity, holiday, raider, etc...)
Should I post a getvar all?
Concerning your further steps: I would be very happy to get it to run at all, maybe then think of reflashing something.
I don't know if I manage that s-off thing and I don't want to hard brick it and give it the final punch...
anyways, thanks for the fast response!
Can you get the ph39img from it?

I already did that with all the RUUs I found, but none worked...
EDIT: so I tried a solution offered by another poster in another forum which said to install CM10 on a clean wipe.
did that and it booted in the cm boot screen and loads the "first install wizard"... well, at least to the language selection screen, then it freezes and reboots again.
but at least we bought us some time at the start.

Its because of a wrong hboot...
It will happen with all of the ICS+ ROMs...
I wish you hadn't relocked your bootloader...
Can you reunlock...
Iirc there is a thread with hboot updated... Maybe try that... Or download the Wcxroot thingy and flash the juopenut hboot...

so, you're basically saying i might be able to get it to work without any RUUs or PH39IMGs?
Wow, that would be good news at last.
I already reunlocked before i flashed the CM10 rom and i didn't forget to flash the boot.img afterwards and even went back again to recovery to wipe cache and dalvik and fixed permissions.
Which one should i try?
thank you for your help!! :good:
is updating the hboot even possible without s-off?
so it seems i have to obtain s-off to flash anything else than stock rom...
as far as i read you have to be on stock ruu to obtain s-off, is that correct?
because that would be bad, as i don't have the stock ruu for my phone.
is it possible to acquire s-off without being on stock rom and would it be possible with the state my phone is in?

i already wrote a pm. do you have any ideas left? maybe try and install a gb rom and then try that ruu again?
ps: i did manage to start the ruu.exe (by reinstalling the htc sync) and it stopped with the error 131. installing the rom.zip (or PH39IMG.zip) still won't work as it says customer id check failed...

Okay, so I did manage to fix it, as it seems... :laugh:
This is what I did:
1. reunlocked bootloader
2. installed TWRP and booted into recovery
3. mounted the internal SD as mass storage
4. copied over VJRaiders GB rom
5. did a full wipe
6. installed VJRaiders rom
7. rebooted into bootloader
8. fastboot flashed the kernel found in the rom thread (twice)
9. rebooted and it worked...
I don't know how and why, but the problem seemed to be that I always tried to flash non-GB roms. As simple as that.
I have no idea why the RUU and PH39IMG didn't work tho...
Well. I won't touch that thing for a looong time, as it works and I had enough problems getting there!
The reason that you had problems with ics and upward roms is because your phone still has the gb hboot. This is because boss never released the ics update. To install ics roms you need the ics hboot.

Which I'm only able to attain with s-off, am I right?
Correct, I believe. If you didn't get an official update to ICS, you'll have to S-Off. It's honestly not as bad as it sounds, I did mine with some speaker wire...probably the worst part of it is getting the cover off of the section where you have to ground out the point. Just take your time, and make sure you're in a well lit area, with a little bit of working space, and you'll be fine.
well, the problem is, that we are not longer on a stock rom and can't seem to flash the original ruu, as we don't find it anywhere...
and as far as i know it is not recommended or possible to go s-off without being on stock rom!?
AFAIK it is UNTESTED... Not impossible
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk
If this is anything like other HTC devices, i'd say your best shot if you're willing to try an untested idea, would be to give it a shot with a sense rom, as they tend to be (under the hood anyways) a lot closer to stock than non sense roms.
