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.

Ok i have it installed.
The problem now is i wiped and installed a custum rom (bliss with sense 3.5) and got a stock on htc then tried to go on fastboot usb then flash the img file and still stock at htc. Any ideas?
Edit: never mind forgot to wipe boot.works like a charm thanks again .
Not sure if I am in the right place to ask this question, well, i'll ask anyway.
I unlocked my bootloader using Revolutionary. I now need to revert to stock for warranty. I downloaded the INDIA RUU from goo manager.
I managed to replace the Revolutionary HBOOT by changing mainver. However, my radio is not getting replaced, no matter what I try. As a result, my phone bootloops though the RUU install was successful. So I had to revert to Revolutionary by installing WWE ASIA RUU. This was successful because the Radios are the same ie 3805.04.03.27_M.
I am currently on
HBOOT - 6.13.1002
Radio-3805.04.03.27_M
How can I go back to HBOOT 1.13 and Radio 38.02.01.11_M?
HBOOT - 6.13.1002 is still Revolutionary HBOOT?
I think that this is the easiest way to get stock bootloader and rom back. You need to find the latest WWE ASIA RUU for that.
Is that this one: RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.09.707.1_Radio_20.4802.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M_release_226940_signed.exe ?
If you have the latest RUU succesfully installed including the HBOOT, you're OK.

thanks for the reply...but i don't think i explained my problem properly.
I first downloaded PG32IMG_Vivo_hTC_Asia_India_1.36.720.1_Radio_Radio_20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.11_M_release_172022_signed.zip from Goo Manager. This is India RUU, but Froyo. This was what was installed on my phone first.
I first changed the mainver and renamed this RUU to PG32IMG.zip and let the bootloader install it. The HBOOT flashed perfectly, so my HBOOT became 1.09 but my radio was stuck at the same. This led the phone to bootloop because of incompatible radios.
So i tried extracting radio.img from PG32IMG_Vivo_hTC_Asia_India_1.36.720.1_Radio_Radio_20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.11_M_release_172022_signed.zip and renamed to PG32IMG.zip and bootloader flash it. But it does not flash. My question is how do I replace the current radio with 38.02.01.11_M? The current radio is 3805.04.03.27_M.

If you currently have a GB ROM on your phone you also have a GB radio. If you attempt to flash the Froyo RUU you have downloaded, you are going to brick your phone because you cannot flash an older Froyo radio over a GB radio. This is a sure way to brick your phone.

yeah, you are right...i now remember that this will brick my phone, a risk not worth taking.
just a quick question, my phone is factory unlocked (the user I bought if from bought it on amazon.de) and currently I have an ICS rom with ICS radio, can I flash the GB RUU and then update to oficial ICS?
Do I still have to make goldcards and stuff?

With Revolutionary S-OFF, the RUU will not successfully overwrite the HBOOT and you will end up with a phone that won't boot past the HTC screen.
You would need to follow this procedure to allow the GB RUU to run successfully:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15732727&postcount=14
This would leave you with a stock, unrooted phone. You woud be able to use HTCDEV.com to ulock the bootloader so you could root, but you are much better off staying S-OFF and using custom ICS ROMs.

cannot load 'rom.zip'
and the same if I try the vivo_downgrade.img
But if I do fastboot reboot-bootloader

exnerjan said:
This procedure is tested only AplhaRevX.
1. Install RUU ROM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1033922
2. Downgrade HBOOT
2a. download this file: http://alpharev.nl/vivo_downgrade.img
2aa. Connect your phone to the USB
2b.Turn your phone into FastBoot not to HBOOT!!! (VOL DOWN + POWER Button)
2c. Install over fastboot: cmd: "fastboot flash hboot vivo_downgrade.img" (you must install sdk tools)
2d. still fastboot cmd: fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. Start Installation RUU ROM, but DON´T INSTALL !!!!
3a. go tu C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp and at last folder find rom.zip

Make sure that you have vivo_downgrade.img in the same folder where you run fastboot from.
Also, you cannot flash a ROM.zip file using the command fastboot flash hboot.

So I do I do?
edit:
Just found it:
6. Rename this "rom.zip" file to "PG32IMG.zip"
7. Now take your SD card from Phone and connect it to your PC using a card reader or some other phone.
8. Paste that renamed "PG32IMG.zip" at the root of your SD Card.
9. Now power off your phone. Pull out the battery.
10. Insert the SD Card back in the phone. Insert the battery.
11. Now hold your volume down key and press power button. Keep the volume down key pressed. It will start your phone in boot-loader menu.
12. Select FASTBOOT if its not already selected and press power button.
13. It will search your SD Card for files and will find "PG32IMG.zip" file and will ask if you want to update.
14. Press the volume up button as instructed to continue and then sit back and relax.
Once finished it will ask you to reboot. Once rebooted, you'll be back on stock ROM with S-On.

The only way is to load a stock RUU/ROM that has bootloader 1.13. If you have a ROM that uses HBOOT 2.00-2.02 then it will always show RELOCKED or UNLOCKED.

I think i read your post regarding the same yesterday.
you did not that you have a custom recovery installed...
in this case you will not be able to flash the ruu as you are required to be stock with s-on

In order to install the ICS OTA after it has been downloaded, you will need to restore the stock HTC recovery and then relock your bootloader.

Grab a RUU and extract the recovery.img file from the ROM.zip. Then flash the recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode using
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Did you already relock the bootloader? You need to flash the stock recovery first, then relock the bootloader.
Did you extract the recovery.img file from the PG32IMG.zip file or are you just trying to have the bootloader flash the PG32IMG.zip?
The signature checking failure leads me to believe that the bootloader is locked/relocked.

How did you end up flashing the recovery? Did you use the PG32IMG.zip and copy it to your sd card or did you extract the recovery.img file and manually flash it?
If you used the PG32IMG.zip file then that probably changed the mainver value and that's why the OTA is not running.
Well guess what, my device is now crashed !, it is stock at the green HTC logo, I can not access anything except for the bootloader !.
i've installed the Android Revolution HD but it didn't work as well, my device is now in mess.

You never did answer my question about how you flashed the HTC stock recovery.
Anyway, If you unlocked your bootloader and reinstalled a custom Recovery and then attempted to install ARHD, did you manually extract and flash the boot.img file in FASTBOOT USB mode?
That may be all you need to do to get the phone booted.
Please any help would be great. I have no os on my HTC one nothing. I can go to recovery and fastboot mode I tried using RUU but my HBOOT is higher.
I have S-on please any idea's.

You're right, you cant use RUU if your hboot version is higher and you are s-on.
You can try to install a custom recovery (twrp or cwm) then install rom ''guru reset'' that match your phone spec. this is a ''stock rom'' that will enable you to have future ota updates. Read this: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/
How did you erased your os?

Hi all,
i was s-off and unlocked and need to go back to stock.
I flashed RUU Zip M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4.zip from fastboot,
then installed TWRP and rooted, then used revone to lock boot loader, and then i did
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
to s-on.
at this point i expected to be able to use an RUU exe to clear up the recovery and then do OTA updates.
But, the RUU fails each time with an unknown error.
So i have rooted again and attempted to s-off again with revone, but revone fails with error -1.
My boot loader screen now shows TAMPERED and UNLOCKED, and i have boot 1.43
Im not sure how to proceed. I've now got an old rom, s-on and am unable to update to anything newer.
Anyone have any ideas please?
thanks
