Thank you.

Please Can you search the forum for the relevant answers and you will find them
shortlist;
Bootloader can be unlocked
S-OFF is not possible at this moment in time
Thank You

but...dont install roms which dont exist....currently theres 2/3 roms...not much difference in them either...i got 3 of them, working on getting more...get s-off by all means, but hang around for more roms
How much does he charge to only unlock it?
unlock you can do of our own using htcdev.com.
Follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465780 it will help u to unlock bootloader, flash cwm5 and increase ur internal memory
HTC has released a utility to unlock bootloader of your HTC device. If you get that, you can root your phone. No need to get a S-OFF. My salsa is S-ON yet rooted.
I am not sure what benifits S-off will offer over htc unlock bootloader. May be BigBearEvo can throw some light on it.
If you just want to root, htc unlock bootloader works fine.

HTC unlocking is same as u s-off...
more beneficial than normally unlocking using xtc clip.
in boot loader menu it shows as S-ON, but functions as S-OFF.
just check whether it shows "unlocked" in boot loader menu.
HTC unlocking is complete solution for root access.

Nope, I dont think HTCDEV Unlock bootloader will give you network unlock and radio unlock. If you get xtc-clip s-off it will let you change radio and network lock as well. I have never tried though.
go here....new added hboot updates for the s-off user only!

In order to use that procedure, you need to unlock the bootloader first since you have HBOOT 2.02.0002
but htcdev dont let me unlock my bootloader, because my hboot is 2.02. , so what can i do?

The device you pick from that drop-down does not have to match your device exactly. All that does is shows you the appropriate instructions you need to follow. The process will have you generate a device token based on your actual phone that you send to HTC to get an unlocked token, so just pick one of the IncS in the drop-down to get started on your journey.
Hi guys,
just one quick question. I have my phone stuck in S-ON after upgrading into new firmware (HBOOT 1.54). It is clear that revone (the one I used to S-OFF the first time) is currently unable to S-OFF my phone right now. Therefore now I'm considering S-OFF through HTC Dev. Will HTC Dev S-OFF work with 1.54 HBOOT?
Another question would be, apart from getting wiped and lose some application, what disadvantage will S-OFF through HTC Dev brings?
Thanks for the help
you can unlock the bootloader and install custom roms/kernels but no s-off, which might be a problem if you need to send your phone to warranty because they could deny warranty on the re/unlocked status of the bootloader.

Why did you s-on in the first place? You can't s-off, you're stuck for now. HTC Dev can only unlock your bootloader.

I didn't S-ON it on purpose. It went S-ON automatically after firmware update and few resets. I have no slightest idea why it went S-ON. So... it seems I'm doomed for now...

with htc dev unlock bootloader method you can, you dont need s-off to flash custom recovery and roms.

With the HTC ONE toolkit you can unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery.
Very easy. I'm in the same situation at this moment. hboot 1.54.
I also got a question about this.
When I'm in the toolkit and I want to use the mainver error fix I always get Device not Found. Is this also because i'm on hboot 1.54 or maybe not a correct setting somwhere (adb?).

But through the toolkit, the unlocking process will use the HTC Dev method which erases the phone's internal memory and some part which contains some apps right? Any other cons which shouldn't I unlock through HTC Dev?
Here it is but be careful

Go there, register an account
http://www.htcdev.com/
after that click on the "developer center" button and right in the middle you will find a "unlock bootloader" button
click on it, follow instructions, but make sure you have a full backup of your storage cause it will be erased
S-OFF is a security flag that gives you permission to "play" with organic partitions of the devices system in a way
you don't need it for having custom recovery, after you unlock you can flash a recovery the exact same way you did with S-OFF or restore a backup you did before reverting to complete stock
S-OFF for most users is only a solution to not losing warranty after unlocking as unlocking actually voids your software warranty and in a way the hardware warranty as HTC can claim that the unofficial software you used actually damaged the device.
If I helped to make you understand in any way I am glad but please if you don't understand what these procedures do or how they work in a general sense it's better not to use/perform them, if you are in any way like me who spent the better part of a salary to buy this phone it would be a shame wasting all that money bricking it out of ignorance, if not, it's still a shame.

Yea it wipes everything so I suggest you back up anything important to you before you unlock... And there aren't any other cons except the fact that it will wipe EVERYTHING (apps, contacts synced with phone, music, pictures, etc.), thats the only con to it

I think there is some confusion here for the OP.
First, S-off and unlocking your bootloader are 2 completely different things. To install custom recoveries, and therefore custom Roms and kernels, you need an unlocked bootloader (I am not sue what all the talk of relocking was about). The only way for you to unlock at this point is with HTCdev, and this will wipe your device unfortunately. Their are guides to unlocking and rooting your phone in this very forum

I sent the request to add the 2.15.970.1 firmware, not realising it needed to be unlocked first, but a bg thankyou to the dev anyway.
After i researched a bit I realised that to simply flash cusom roms s-off is unnecessary and a simple unlock is good enough.
Anyway i found this great guide htcsoku.info/htcsokudev-news/au-m7-215to105-downgrade/ on how to downgrade then s-off or unlock with revone.
I managed to unlock the sim by following the guide as as far as gaining root shell then used this guide htcsoku.info/htcsokudev-news/au-m7-device-sim-unlock/ to simply unock the sim without touching anything els.
I then used theguid to downgrade and unlock anotherday, although it may be possible to follow the guide as far as gaining root then trying revone without downgrading,
Sorry this is my first so xda prevented me from attaching actual links, hope this helps some people.

Im also having a very hard time with something.....
I really hope somebody here can help me. I'm desperate and have tried everything. I purchased my AU HTC J One and it had 4.1.2 (1.07.970.4) on it. I was anxious to start playing around with it so I followed an instruction on how to install TWRP. So I unlocked , Installed TWRP, then rooted. Everything was great until an OTA came out. I wanted to update but found out very quickly that without stock recovery I cannot do OTA. Well here is the real problem. I do not have the stock recovery any more and cannot find it. Another user gave me what he though was the stock recovery, I flashed it and then tried thee OTA. All I get is a picture of the phone with a big red triangle with an exclamation point. If I hold up volume and hit power I can see where it started the update and immediately aborted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really like to update to system 4.2.2 and hopefully in the future to 4.3 , 4.4 but as it stand now Im stuck with 4.1.2... I know there are some smart guys out there that could give me a hand with this. PLEASE>>>>

You have to s-off and get super cid before you can unlock the boot loader
Your software version should allow you follow this guide
Following that you can try the same steps I did, but well most likely need a different version of recovery, the non 4.2.2 version
