[Q] How to get S-off for N1

Hi all,
I am newbie, my N1 get unlocked but still S-ON thus I cannot flash blackrose into hboot. I want to ask how can I get S-OFF? Here's what I see in my bootloader
*** UNLOCKED ***
NEXUSONE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.35.0017
MICROP-0b15
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0103
RADIO-5.12.00.08

If you just flash blackrose hboot, then there is no need of having S-OFF. I don't think flashing blackrose even requires your bootloader to be unlocked as it "fakes" that.

Please read Blackrose thread, or at least its first page, carefully and thoroughly.

I got it now, I misunderstand that I need to install blackrose hboot when my phone is at fastboot......
Everything works fine now!

In order to go from HBOOT 2.00.0000 to a S-OFF HBOOT, you will need to follow the Downgrade Procedure listed in the sticky posts of this forum.

But the thing i wanted to ask was...do i need to unlock my bootloader first and then go to with the downgrade procedure..or i can directly start the procedure with my locked bootloader....????

I have the same phone , For S-OFF I did the gold card method.

Are you talking about Indian version?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

yes its the indian version ,but my question is do i need to first unlock the bootloader fro HTCdev.com and then proceed with the hbot downgrade process or i can continue without unlocking my bootloader

The downgrade process is to run revolutionary and not sign away your belongings to HTC
So you do not have to use HTCdev at all with the downgrade
You either unlock via HTCdev or you downgrade to an older s offable hboot, and s off
Lynt's guide is the HTCdev unlock
If you want to downgrade, use nonverbose's guide

I think only going from gingerbread to froyo radio can brick
Not completely sure
Mine did not brick the two times I did it
You can always upgrade again

it would really be great if you can still confirm that changing the radios wont have a negative effect on my mobile

Nope , it worked fine for me...

As in upgrading/downgrading? It is no problem for me, if you flash the correct radio for our device, it is safe and will not cause damage
All I can say is that all the people here who have downgraded probably did not brick their phones
You are safe, but just remember to follow the instructions word for word
And none of us are responsible for any damage, obviously

If never rooted your mobile.
Try Removing battery and then turning on (You might have tried)
If this doesnt work and device is under warranty go to service center.
They will fix it for free
Else
You have to root your mobile.

Everything is OK.
By flashing an older GB ROM, you have a different bootloader which cannot be locked and unlocked. Based on the GB ROM you flashed, you probably have HBOOT version 1.13 on the phone is just fine, especially since you appear to have permanent S-OFF.

Den how can i unlock my boot loader and install custom roms?one more thing can i update my fone via ota?and yes hboot version 1.13

Since you have S-OFF, you just need to flash a custom recovery and then you can install custom ROMs. You don't need to worry about unlocking bootloader 1.13.

[Q] convert HTC One 4.2.2/Sense5 to Google Edition

now that I have re-experienced the Nexus experience with my new Nexus7/2013 I wanted to "quickly" convert my stock HTC One to Google Edition to have a more similar experience on both my prefered gadgets. but I can't get pass the first pass... I seem to be stuck thanks to HBOOT 1.54 not allowing me to switch to S-OFF, one of the requirements as I read.
So what do I have: stock HTC One 4.2.2 OTA with in bootloader showing me:
*** TAMPERED *** (no clue why it says this, did not try loading/running anything other then Revone and moonshine, without any luck by the way)
*** UNLOCKED *** (I got this via the official HTCDEV-route)

Hello.
Your bootloader is unlocked, so S-OFF or S-ON is not that important (though you cannot downgrade the hboot with S-ON, so you are stuck on 1.54 untill a tool for S-OFF on HBOOT 1.54 is made - im in the same situation by the way).
1. Flash custom recovery (TWRP or CWM)
2. Install a custom rom (im running with this one, based on android 4.3, GE (Google Edition) of Android.
3. Done
EDIT: No, S-OFF is not required, unless you want to flash CUSTOM firmwares or a few other things. Custom rom and custom recovery is doable as long as your bootloader is unlocked.
Kind Regards

This is good if he will only have the GE rom, if he will do a fully convert he need the s-off

Couldnt he flash the stock GE rom as a zip? Why is S-OFF needed? Because it must come as a RUU?
And thank you for the assistance in my earlier thread! :good: Recognized the sig instantly!

I think if your at 1.54 you can't s-off without some decent work. Have you tried some of the GE ROM's? I've been using the SinLessROM 4.1 GE and its better then stock GE if you ask me. Good luck with whatever path you take.

S-OFF is not avail for 1.54. Not without java-card and and only proof is a YT video - no tools: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF1CxtbPhV4

Thanks all for these clear and quick responses!
I would prefer the full monty: having an OTA updateable Google Edition
but for now a (as little as possible customized) GE-ROM will do fine
Which ROM can I flash, and what's the best way to do so?

Backup apps and settings with titanium backup. For the 3 dot menu there is an xposed mod for that. Note that installing xposed on the HTC one is different than usually, due to the system partition being protected in some way (changes are lost on reboot).

[Q] All roms going into boot loop

Hey guys been going at this for about 14 hours
Story
flashed amazing android hd 3.1 thinking i had 5.1, when i realized that, i downloaded 5.1 and flashed it. Seemed to work except as soon as phone began to boot i got a pink screen followed by the htc and beats audio screen (logos were different colors) at this point it wouldn't do anything else.
I rebooted and went in recovery (twrp 2.6.3.0) and wiped cache, tried re flashing and same thing so i went in twrp (im a nweb haven't done this since i had my hero) formatted the data. Yes everything was gone no OS to boot from so i tried using sideloader but it wouldnt go past start up process i resorted to using adb, i pushed the amazing android 3.1 rom and flashed it. everything seemed to go fine. Seemed to boot, when i went to unlock the screen to set the phone up it just rebooted, it kept doing that over and over. Installed insert coin rom and did the same thing. idk what else to do :/ tried loading stock ruu but it gave me a fail message (cant remember what it was)
I never made any back ups as i didnt care about losing any data
Would appreciate some help guys
Im on mac and windows 7

thanks, im about to give it a shot

good morning lol
ok since im on s-on 4.06 do i skip this?
If you are S-OFF flash the 3.04 s-off firmware or 3.05 s-off firmware or 3.05.651.6 s-off firmware or 4.06.651.4 s-off firmware and you are done. If you are already on 4.06.651.4 you will have to flash the 3.05.651.6 s-off firmware first...reason being is the 4.06 s-off firmware does not have the latest radio included (use the same commands from 5.)
1.Download the 3.04 s-on firmware or 3.05 s-on firmware or 3.05.651.6 s-on firmware or 4.06.651.4 s-on firmware
2.Rename it firmware.zip (put the firmware.zip into the platform tools folder or the folder attached below)
3.Boot to bootloader
4.Lock bootloader(fastboot oem lock)
5.Then use these commands:
and go straight to this?
7.Then unlock the bootloader again and re-flash TWRP 2.6.3.0. (before formatting go to setting/screen and disable screen timeout)
8.Within TWRP 2.6.3.0 select Wipe > Format Data(it will ask you to confirm by typing YES) once done adb push a rom to your phone (adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/ ).
8a. If you are using the 4.06.651.4 s-on firmware I would suggest you push this Stock Rooted Odexed Rom to your device or it may not boot.
8b. After flashing the 4.06.651.4 rom you will most likely need to flash the latest radio because the 4.06 firmware does not have a radio included find it HERE
9.Optional but recommended: S-OFF using Rumrunner or Firewater
10.Win lol
