[Q] s-off on hboot 1.16

Is it possible to make s- off with hboot 1.16 with 2.3.3 STOCK OPTUS ROM?
If so, can anyone link me to a proper guide?
I searched and found contradictions, some say yes, some say no....

There is no current method available to truly gain S-OFF status with HBOOT 1.16. However, that being said, you can use the HTCDEV site to unlock HBOOT 1.16 so that you can flash a custom recovery such as ClockworkMod and then flash a custom ROM. The thing to keep in mind with this solution is after you flash the custom ROM you will probably have to manually flash the boot.img file from the custom ROM using 'fastboot flash boot [path to image file]\boot.img'
There is also some thread posts about downgrading HBOOT 1.16 to HBOOT 1.13 and then you can use Revolutionary to get a true S-OFF HBOOT.

Unzip the EXT4.zip file and extract the recovery.img file to your PC. Then with your phone connect to the PC in FASTBOOT mode, type the following command:
fastboot flash recovery [path to your image file]\recovery.img
The command window on your PC should have the working directory set to where you have installed the Android SDK tools with adb.exe and fastboot.exe.

[Q]

Dear All,
After i installed CMW Recovery and rooted, i install 4EXT recovery updater and install the recovery.
But i still cannot enter into 4EXT recovery mode.
Whenever i go into recovery, it goes directly to CMW.
Is there anything i am missing or do i need to install again?
Can some mod edit the title ? i forgot to add it.. thank
Thanks

Just flash the 4EXT recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command:
fastboot flash recovery [path to the recovery.img file]
It is best to just copy the recovery.img file to the directory where you run FASTBOOT.exe from.

What you have described is normal for the downgrade script. Just try running the RUU now.

[Q] Relocking/returning to stock recovery/boot without RUU

Hi. I unlocked and rooted my M7 and I'd like to return to stock recovery/boot for the OTA. The problem is after searching for a while only method I could find is with RUU but there seems to be no RUU file for my 1.29.401.17 rom.
I havent changed CID and my boot displays: S-ON, TAMPERED, UNLOCKED.
My recovery is: Team Win Recovery 2.5.0.0.
Any ideas how I can go back to stock recovery/boot without RUU?

Find the recovery/boot for 1.29 and go into fastboot and type fastboot flash recovery file.img and fastboot flash boot file.img

Thank you. Is this the file I should use:
OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.12-1.28.401.7_release_315849_signedp7vl8dqsvls0h1t0.zip
It's the closest version to mine I could find. There is a boot.img in this file in the firmware.zip, I should use that file is that correct?

You can use the boot.img from that I reckon it should be fine.

[Q] Doesn't work recovery

Doesn't work any recovery on my incredible s (when I go to recovery, I see only HTC logo), boot loader is unlocked but phone haven't s-off. May be cause of trouble in s-on?

How did you install these custom recoveries? You need to flash them in FASTBOOT USB mode with an unlocked bootloader.
You need to copy the recovery's img file to the same directory where you install and run ADB.exe and FASTBOOT.exe from and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery.img file]

I did so

And did you get any errors? Was the write successful?

Hope the process of flashing didn't show "FAILED"...if then everything should be fine.

No errors, write is successful, but doesn't work

I forgot to say, that hboot shows "eMMC-boot", what does it mean?

Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery, push the rom to your phone and install it.
You can't flash a rom from fastboot, it must be done from recovery.

This is my biggest problem I cannot boot into recovery, it bootloops after 15 seconds I choose it in the fastboot menu. I even tried to (fastboot boot recovery. img) and it also bootloops.
I cannot boot into android also, I am in big trouble. Any ideas??

First are you sure you have flashed the recovery and then erased cache and rebooted before attempting to boot in recovery mode?
Have you checked the MD5 value of your recovery before flashing?
"fastboot boot recovery.img" was only available on hboot 1.44

I literally tried all of the recovery images I found for that device , I always check the md5 , and erase cache.
It looks like it is finishes flashing properly with no errors , but when I try to boot into recovery it bootloops.
Ok I found it no worries
If someone can help me find the ruu for vodap001 x. xx. 161.x would be my savior right now
