Revolutionary doesn't give root either, it gives s-off through modified bootloader.

Does that mean i can't get Custom Firmware for are HTC Raiders????!
Hey I just got my friends HTC Raider from Rogers running Holics last weekend. I had to go the LONG way around.
S-Off -> CID Changed to 11111111 -> Relock bootloader -> Install BM Ginger Bread RUU -> Install BM ICS RUU -> Holics 0.8
Works FINE. I thought everyone else knew.
I could throw together a manual if someone wants to go through it with me.
I rather have official Rom first than custom roms..

So stop once you get to ICS install.

Not sure why you would want a carrier ROM. Rogers is known for all the craptastic bloatware they put in their ROMs, and the updates are slow. Just get one of the stock RUU based ROMs. It's the same thing the carriers base their ROMs on, but no bloat

For one, it's the only way to get the proper radio for your device-carrier combination.
U agree with you..

So still no official Rogers ICS update yet? I'm looking to pickup a Raider for my wife, but the only ones I can find are Rogers and we're with Bell. I'd get an unlocked one to use, but I don't want to have to go wiping the phone again if there isn't already ICS on it for her to learn/use.

The AT&T ICS RUU seems to work fine, as I've been running it for months. Also, more to the point, I meant more why he would want to STAY with the carrier ROM. I understand the purpose of upgrading to the carrier ROM in order to gain the specific radio or HBOOT you need, but after that, drop it like it's hot.
Still no update?

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

+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.

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.

What is hboot?

So I've had my phone for over a year now, am s-off and flashed numerous ROMs, but not quite sure what the hboot is? I am s-off via alpha rev and currently running 4ext recovery touch. I have hboot 1.09.1000, but some new ROMs are saying I need blackrose to flash, especially tpblake's new ROMs. Is this the case as not really keen on changing my hboot, considering I don't even know what it is!
Thanks in advance from a rather sheepish member

In your case, the AlphaRevX HBOOT 1.09.1000 is what is allowing your phone to be S-OFF. Another term for HBOOT is the bootloader.
In your case, you are running a modified bootloader that has the SECURITY_FLAG turned OFF, thus the acronym S-OFF.
Can I flash with this or should I update to blackrose as you say in your ROM thread

You can flash most of the custom ROMs with your current HBOOT just fine. You could easily upgrade to BlackRose just fine without losing anything. It is really up to you. What do you want to flash?

Yes then you will need to upgrade your HBOOT to BlackRose in order to flash the stock, rooted ICS ROMs I have posted.
Go read the BlackRose link I posted on the stock, rooted ICS ROM thread.

Yep all installing blackrose involves, provided that you have set up for it is for you to click on the .exe and it does it all for you. I for one was amazed by the simplicity when I finally flashed it yesterday. Not much to be scared of (I was a bit scared of playing with partitions and hboots)

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467607
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.
