hey all,
I temporarily have access to a N1 with the ENG s-off SPL, and I'm wondering if anyone has an idea based off previous phones of how to dump it into a file as something useful.
I'll keep looking around but I thought I'd throw the question out there.

I believe we already have the engineering SPL. We just can't flash it. Really appreciate that you would be willing to do that, though.

Thanks, I actually updated the holiday phone from 0.33.2008 with this without a problem, still ENG s-off.

why aren't we able to flash it? Because we have non-holiday phones and they came with s-on?

How did you flash? fastboot flash boot hboot.img ??
What is the holiday phone?

It's the engineering nexus 1... aka, the phone with S-off... which allows you to flash any ROM even if it is not officially signed

S-On and if you look at the hboot size, they are different. Eng N1 is 768kb and Shipping is 512kb
Fastboot flash hboot hboot.img Do not flash to your boot partition.
what will happen if i try to flash the SPL above? or will i not be able to due to s-on?

you might be able to, but it will most likely brick your phone.

S-off and S-on : Security on and off (writing directly to nand or not) , most probably not SPL linked, S-on prevents you to downgrade.

So its a phone hardware thing.
Good to know, thanks a bunch!

I've heard people are looking for a way to relock the SPL on the nexus one, and to do that they need a copy of an original SPL. So I was wondering, and I am sure other android n00bs out there want to know as well, what goes in to dumping an SPL, or any image for that matter, and how come we can't dump the SPL that ships on the nexus one?
I am literally losing my mind!
About a month ago, I successfully rooted my Incredible S with Revolutionary, which updated my HBoot to 6.13.x, and then flashed Cyanogenmod 7 through ClockworkMod Recovery. For various reasons, I needed to give my phone to someone in stock form, so I tried using the rom.zip file from the stock RUU of my phone I found on these forums. After it seemingly completed successfully, except for the fact that it said it couldn't roll back HBoot, it asked to reboot, and ever since then, it repeatedly turns on and off, only making it as far as the first HTC logo. Bootloader still works, while recovery doesn't. Selecting recovery restarts the on-off problem. What should I do to revert to stock? Thanks in advance for ALL help.
Phone is from Bell Mobility, I think.
***Note: I know I shouldn't post unless going through EVERYTHING similar or related, which I've been literally doing for the past ten hours. Nothing has worked.

You need to flash the vivo_downgrade.img in fastboot mode before running an RUU if you have revolutionary s-off
Code:
fastboot flash hboot vivo_downgrade.img
grab it here http://alpharev.nl/vivo_downgrade.img

After you do the fastboot command, you can then run the RUU again and it should then change the HBOOT.

Yeah I did run the RUU after, and after it once again seemingly finished successfully, I rebooted to the same problem, so I just dismissed it. Looking at it now, the Hboot has downgraded. Does this mean that if I run the RUU once more, I"ll be back to stock? Also, S-ON is on as well. Thanks for the help.

If the HBOOT version changed after running the RUU then you are already back to stock.

I'm not sure, but I think the problem I'm having may be that I've been using an RUU that's not Gingerbread, and my radio version is too high to accept it. Could that be it? Radio is 3805.04.03.X.

The radio version changes when the ruu is completed. The version you posted is quite low already, why not install a GB ruu anyway? Could you provide a link to the one that you did run?

I didn't post a radio version before, and this is the link to the original RUU I tried running: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c13...0802U_38.02.01.17_M_release_174461_signed.exe

Yes run the gb ruu, its usually a bad idea to run anything froyo anyway as it usually results in a brick.

Yep, it's fixed now. The problem was that I was using the Froyo ROM when I should have been using the GB ROM, as was pointed out, as well as my HBoot needed downgrading to accept the proper ROM as well. Thank you both for all the help, extremely appreciated.

use the all in one toolkit
Enter the following command - fastboot getvar version-main, which will tell you which ruu or nandroid version you will need.

i need to download the relevant RUU to force back into stock, the RUU i need is only in OTA.ZIP format which the All In One tool (that was so kindly pressented to me on a silver platter ) doesnt like. I am an expert in unlocking / locking the bootloader though...

Not to worry. When we have S-OFF you can flash any RUU you like. So it will be back to stock. The only bad thing is if you REALLY want to have all the Vodafone bloatware back that came from your original ROM. But there are other vodafone RUUs I think, but just not from your region.

Yes you can S-ON after you S-OFF with revone: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 to S-ON again
Yeah, just make sure you have a stock hboot before doing so. You may want to also lock the bootloader first.

A better question is why would go from s-off to s-on anyway? You might mess up later and wish you still had s-off so you could fix it.

With S-OFF, yes.
If you have an unsigned hboot and then S-On, you'll probably brick your phone.
S-on: you only can flash roms and kernels
S-off: you will also be able to update hboot, and firmware, flash splashscreens and remove red warning text from splashscreen and change radio

You can still flash radios with S-on. Agree with the others, you'll regret going S-on unless you need to return the phone under warranty.

get a stock ROM(insertcoin android revolution, etc.), open up the zip and extract the boot.img from the zip file, put it in your Android SDK folder (probably C:/Android), then boot into bootloader, connect USB and get into fastboot mode, and fastboot flash boot boot.img in a command prompt from your Android SDK folder. Backup with your custom recovery and you MIGHT need to wipe data and reinstall ROM (most probably not). You'll know you need to wipe data if you get a bootloop after flashing the Stock Kernel. Just backup before, that's a great rule of thumb

hey yall I been searching and reading all forums on going back to stock. theres only regular sprint htc m8 version and nothing on the hk edition so I can get the new ota and remain on stock. ive lost my back up file when I upload a custom rom. ive tried a bunch of things like using ruu and that but kept getting an error like a 32 and a 99. I cant get the s-on to turn off to get more. idk if im doing something wrong or what but im hoping someone can shine some light this way and help me out. yes I tired the sunshine apk but it pops up need based rom etc. so.........
You have to relock to use an RUU when you're still S-ON, and you must make sure that you're using an HK RUU.

Yes, relock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock). That'll prevent the error 92 or whichever it was. It doesn't matter what recovery is on there, as the RUU will overwrite it with stock.
