[Q] Do I Need S-off to flash a sense 3.5 rom?

Hi Guys,
A friend of mine got a IncS with Hboot 2.00.000. I know how to install recovery by using the adb and fastboot. But is it necessary to S-off your phone? The phone is bootloader unlocked by htcdev. Is there any rom sense rom with beats audio where i don't need an S-off?
Many thanks to you!

I think you can flash the ROM's with S-ON, but you'll have to flash the boot.img manually trough fastboot.

Okay that's no problem for me.
For the one's who don't understand the question, you need to extract the rom after flashing and flash the boot.img in fastboot. You need the Android SDK Kit
Open CMD and go to your folder where you got the sdk it installed and enter then the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hi all,
I ve unlock bootloader via htcdev 3weeks ago bcause i need my Inc S is root. I was followed all instruction how to root Inc S hboot 1.16.but my boot still S-On. I ve root with CWM and finish root. I ve root,clear all data,and put costum room and finish instal rom.
Q: after finish install new costum rom I reboot and loading with Htc logo for 10minutes and not changing anything w/ my inc s.i am.confuse my phone cant load.what my problems help me guys since hboot 1.16 cant s-off
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

Manually flash the boot.img from the ROM using fastboot.

I think it needs a sticky that you can perfectly flash a custom rooted ROM with S-ON.
Oh, and also a sticky that you have to put the back cover on to get a good signal.

Mine is s-on, and running virtuous affinity rom with sense 3.5, as above, need to flash boot img through fastboot. Took a while to remember this when I flashed the quattro rom :banghead:

If you are relocked you will have to unlock again to flash a custom recovery, kernel, and rom. Also, this should have been posted in the general thread.

stock rom
No I am looking to flash the att stock room no costum rom or recovery.I want the stock
Recovery and stock att ics rom.and when I try to unlock
The phone get stock I select yes and press the power button butt nothing happens
The phone freeze and does not respond no matter what I do.so I have
To remove the battery and insert again to start the phone and it only
Goes to hboot.

Did you relock your bootloader by HTCdev before attempting any of this? If not, then all you have to do is boot into fastboot and input the command:
fastboot oem relock
Afterwards just run the RUU.

Dev's move this to general... wrong section buddy next time put it in the General area not development
And cruzin_cruzing's post should help you

Now i have to flash the stock RUU ROM right? if its yes i need the link of the ROM!!
thanx

Can you boot the device like normally? If so, just relock your device, install OTA and then unlock again. OTAs can't be flashed with unlocked bootloader or custom roms.

[Q] Reboots Straight to HBOOT/FASTBOOT

I need help with figuring how to solve my problem. Whenever I try to reboot it boots straight to hboot/fastboot. I can't update my system because of it. Can't unlock because it freezes at the screen where I choose to unlock or not. What should I do??

What have you done to your phone so far?
Have you unlocked your bootloader?
Have you installed TWRP Recovery?
Have you rooted your phone?
Have you flashed any new roms or kernels?
Can you still access your recovery? (TWRP or stock - stock is just black screen with a red triangle in the middle)
Please give a detailed description of the things you have done, the results of each of these things if any, and when your phone started rebooting straight to HBoot.
Also, is your phone the 32 bit US model, or the 64 bit Europian/Australian model?
There's still a chance your device's firmware is recoverable, but you probably shouldn't try anything until you get some advice from someone who has a lot of knowledge and a detailed description of how you ended up where you're at.
Good luck!

What have you done to your phone so far? I have unlocked it before, but end up re-locking it after failing to root it.
Have you unlocked your bootloader? I did and relocked it.
Have you installed TWRP Recovery? Couldn't and Can't
Have you rooted your phone? No
Have you flashed any new roms or kernels? No
Can you still access your recovery? (TWRP or stock - stock is just black screen with a red triangle in the middle) I can't enter recovery.
I have no .img files when entering hboot. I can't unlock because it freezes after choosing the unlock option. It shows entering recovery at the stop and a discalimer message at the botto and goes no where

How to fix the issue
The first thing is to do is to relock the boot loader by typing 'fastboot oem lock' and the appropriate RUU for your device and carrier and open the RUU and reflash the device and it will be good as new

You should not just lock the boot loader without first reinstalling the stock recovery! When you go to use the RUU if it doesn't see the stock recovery it's going to fail... First reinstall the stock recovery and then OEM lock then you can use the RUU!
P.S. I have no idea why you're replying to some post from 2014... This post was almost a year ago lmao...

You don't have to have stock recover I did it with TWRP Recovery and it put stock recovery for you

Htc bricked afetr lollipop update

my htc m7 got bricked and stuck in a bootloop after two days of being OTA updated to lollipop, knowing that it's S-on and bootloader locked, now when i try to unlock it through HTCDEv everything goes well but when the phone reboots it would still be locked and won't enter recovery! and when trying to flash a stock firmware instead of rebooting to bootloader (fastboot oem rebootRUU) the phone would reboot to system and stuck in boot loop, any solution to flash the phone back to normal?

If you are using Clockwork Mod, then there should be a way to get back into the rom flash option. Go into your "Power/Volume Down" page, and look for the option to flash from zip. Find the zip you used when ORIGINALLY flashing to your custom rom. Do not try to go to stock at first, work your way backwards. If you can get back to the working custom rom, from there you can use on screen functions to repair the phone back to stock.

Looks like you are having firmware or hardware issue. We often see this problem (not being able to unlock the bootloader) when the phone was relocked with a custom recovery still installed. But it doesn't seem to be your case since your phone is s-on and locked unless you tell me that you did re-locked the bootloader with a custom recovery installed...
Unfortunately the only walk around for this issue is to flash the same version stock firmware.zip in ruu mode which is not accessible in your case.
Why you can't access the ruu mode, I really don't know, it might confirm an firmware issue, maybe with the bootloader. Your not the first one stuck in that situation (not unlockable + ruu mode broken), its not common but you are not the first.
Btw is your phone a GPE or Sense variant? GPE variant have a well known bug which will prevent the bootloader to be unlocked. Does not apply to Sense variants.
I'm afraid there is nothing to do if you can't unlock or access ruu mode. Maybe a jtag repair could work or you'll have to send it for repair.
Sorry

OP said he was bootloader locked so he can't use a custom recovery.
Go into your "Power/Volume Down" page, and look for the option to flash from zip.

There is no such option for HTC devices. To flash stock zip on the M7 you must access RUU mode, OP said RUU mode is broken...
Find the zip you used when ORIGINALLY flashing to your custom rom. Do not try to go to stock at first, work your way backwards. If you can get back to the working custom rom, from there you can use on screen functions to repair the phone back to stock.

Don't understand why you are talking about custom roms, did you read the OP?

I appreciate your responds guys and i believe the only option left is the jtag i guess..
