I rootrd my Thunderbolt using Jcase's manual method shortly after the phone was released. I have the following (unimportant or matching info omitted):
MECHA XD ENG S-OFF
HBOOT 1.04.2000
A friend just rooted using Revolutionary and he has the following:
MECHA XD SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 6.04.1002
I've been reading some info about Revolutionary and it looks like the program essentially turns off security so you can install SuperUser and flash CWM Recovery. I assume it does not replace the stock (SHIP) bootloader. Does this limit the phone at all? Can he still flash radios through bootloader? What's the easiest/safest way to install the engineering bootloader, or is it even needed?
I noticed that bootloader and CWM both say Revolutionary as well now. Any modifications going on behind the scenes that I may need to know? I ask all of this because his phone has been force closing a lot and "messing up" so I'm going to be fixing it. I've onpy had my hands on the device for about 5 minutes so that's really all of the info I know about it.
Any/all feedback is appreciated!

Actually, Revolutionary does replace the bootloader. The difference between the ADB method and Revolutionary is that ADB uses a soft-patched engineering bootloader, whereas Revolutionary uses a hard-patched release version of the bootloader.
So basically what you're saying is I can flash another hboot over my hboot and it would take (i.e. I could act stupid and brick the phone) but if you use Revolutionary you can flash whatever in hboot but the actual hboot will not be replaced? Or is there a different meaning implied?

As far as I know, the Revolutionary hboot is patched to prevent flashing over. I don't know all the ins and outs. Never used the newer hboot because... if it's not broke, I don't fix it.
Alright, thanks for sending your thoughts. I don't think anything with the rooting method is causing his problem. I'll reflash the official MR2, do a full wipe, and install a fresh rom. He'll be good as new.

Correct. The only way to overwrite revolutionary hboot (that i know of) is to flash a new one with adb.

Is this root method like unrevoked forever? Is this at the radio level or just a hacked hboot?
If later on, an OTA gets applied, will the phone still be s-off so I can just flash a recovery again?
Please don't respond 'dont take OTAs', because that's not what I'm asking.

From what I have read it is at the radio level and OTA's shouldn't affect s-off.

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
From that page:
What does this do, then?
revolutionary will give you S-OFF either by a patched HBOOT or setting the secureflag to off on the device itself. This behaviour will depending on your particular device. Optionally it will also replace the stock Android recovery with a custom one, which adds many features including “nandroid” backups, the ability to use custom ROMs, and a greater amount of flexibility and customization of your Android phone.
Does this permanently unlock the NAND flash on my phone?
Yes. The default configuration of this tool disables the phone's security, which also disables the NAND locks placed on the storage by the bootloader.
All the info I know about is right there.
I also found this, which I'm not positive if this applies to our method, but I think it does. Interesting none the less: http://alpharev.nl/
From what I understand, S-off will remain no matter what, until you issue a fastboot command that is "fastboot oem setsecureflag3" You can see here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053 for a full tut on how to turn it back to S-on. SO yea, it's similar to unrevoked forever, where you're always S-off until you deliberately set it to S-on. Running an RUU doesn't even set it to S-on.
That all said, even though you said "don't tell me not to take OTA", I will remind you anyways, that it's always a sketchy thing, especially if HTC has included a new hboot in that OTA. To each their own though.
Thanks for the info, I missed that on the unrevoked site.
However, if it's S-Off in the radio, doesn't that mean that the hboot won't really matter? On the evo 4g at least, new hboots don't kill the s-off and you could always reflash a recovery from hboot.
I'm just wondering if you can flash a recovery with s-off from a stock hboot.

As soon as you decide to flash a stock RUU that has a HBOOT update in it, this hacked HBOOT will be overwritten.

So I'm getting a replacement thunderbolt in the mail sometime tomorrow I was told. My phone right now is unrooted and running MR2 with the MR2 radio as well. The thing is, is that I have s-off with Revolutionary. Is there any way to turn that back on? I don't even know if it will be a problem when I send it in, if they'll even look at that, but I'd rather be on the safe side.
Anyone know how I could get back to s-on after using Revolutionary?
Thanx for the help.
This file not only unroots your phone, it flashes the stock h boot as well. This worked for me 4 times, and I'll use it again later this week for the 5th time when I get my 6th t bolt.

I dont think that works for hboot if you used revolutionary method. At least it didnt for me. Only way i found was taking the hboot image out of that zip file and flashing it via adb. I think it has something to do with the revolutionary hboot being locked down to prevent it from being overwritten somehow.
And i really dont remember the adb commands used to flash it. I had to Google it.

There should be a link in my [q AND a] describing how to undo a Revolutionary S-off.
This is for old firmware folks only! IF ARE RUNNING THE ICS LEAK FIRMWARE, DON'T FLASH THIS!
If you S-ON your device with this installed, IT WILL BRICK.
What is this and why is it better than the ENG Hboot?
This is a patched version of the 2.11 Hboot. This is for GB firmware users. This was patched by the Juopunutbear team. It is very similar to their 2.21 patched hboot. It allows for fastboot commands without HTCDev.com unlock, but not the full engineering set. This is safer for users. This is also not a leaked HBoot like the ENG one was, so this should cause fewer issues with devices like the ENG hboot may have. If you are on the ENG hboot and do not need the extended subset of commands and/or are having issues with the ENG hboot, I recommend flashing this one.
Please thank the Juopunutbear team for developing this as a better alternative to the engineering hboot.
Installation:
-1.S-OFF the device
0. Make sure you aren't on ICS firmware
1. CHECK MD5!!!!
2. Rename file to PH98IMG.zip and place on SD card
3. Reboot to HBOOT
4. Flash bootloader when prompted with volume up.
Download: HERE
MD5: cf20a2a731b4415fa11a60920730747a
If any issues arise from the use of this hboot, please bring it to my attention so I can contact the Juopunutbear team. I am just the messenger with this one.
Again, flashing this or anything you find on the internet is your responsibility. Myself or the Juopunutbear team can't be held responsible.

Thanks for this, I wont be using as im on the ics leak but im sure those on 2.11 will find this useful
Just to make sure, I was on the ics leak before getting s-off then flashed the eng hboot GB firmware PH98IMG that suprchilpil posted. This would still be relevant for me if I didn't need the eng hboot right?
Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I guess better to ask and confirm.
Con, would you recommend downgrading if on the ICS leak and getting back to Hboot 2.11 ?
Con, you're a great man for what you do, but could you PLEASE make a wtf to do with s-off for dummies, (from incredible where everything was easy, only one hboot) Most of this confuses the hell out of me. If anyone could make a "what is all this" or whatever thread it would be of much thanks.
Edit: so in other words, i have no idea what any of this means lol.
I will stay on the 2.11 eng hboot for the time being as I have had no issues since downgrading from 2.21.
I will however download this and keep it handy just in case.
Thanks
I can write more notes tomorrow. I will have time in the next couple days to hopefully do a big info dump.

No, you're not rooted. You're unlocked...which is close, but no cigar. You'll have to "relock" your phone if you want to go back to 1.4 hboot with s-off. No biggie...took me half an hour at most. Just make sure you have the files you need at hand plus the live Linux cd/dvd.

You are rooted just fine. Never heard of half assed rooted.
The only thing is your S-On so the partition where the radio/firmware are, you won't be able to change unless you go S-Off.
To answer your question, you can still flash many roms. Some ICS roms will not work because they require the new radio and firmware. Any GB rom and many ICS you can flash right now with no problems.
If you flash the newest 4ext Recovery, it will save you from having to manually flash the boot.img file separately after you install the rom. Although flashing the boot.img through the adb fastboot is no big deal.

No such thing as half-assed root. Either you are rooted or not. He just has S-ON meaning he cannot flash a custom PG86IMG.zip from the bootloader. Only PG86IMG.zip that are signed by HTC. Also he is limited to which partitions he can flash to.
Being unlocked is better than being rooted. Think of it as a low-level root. Like being able to tweak your BIOS settings instead of just being the admin user of Windows.
No it sucks. I spent 3 hours in boot loops the other night because of this f**king S-ON bs. My phone will not flash ANY ICS rims and any kernel that has overclocking capabilities puts me right back in the boot loop even using adb. My Evo 4G was rooted via Revolutionary, but this S-ON sucks. I hate it, but I'm not going to brick my phone to downgrade.

You must be mistaking. S-ON devices are really hard to brick.
If they weren't HTC would be loosing lots of money.
The least trouble you will have to go by downgrasing is having a security warming on your bootloader which can be fixed by flashing the signed PG86IMG.zip file COMPLETELY.
And FYI, Downgrading isnt the only way possible to gain S-OFF.
There's also Juopunutbear S-OFF which can be found HERE.
Which will only require you to return to stock/unlocked with root access. and a simple wire trick.
Good luck in your future bootloops though and have a nice sunny day..

I don't understand why some are telling JeffMeister that he is not or just half rooted. If your bootloader says "hboot 1.5 S-ON Unlocked" and you have SU installed, that means you are rooted. Sure the boot partition is read-only, but theres easy ways around it.
I've had hboot 1.5 S-ON since I had my phone. I've never felt the need to get S-OFF because there are tools to get around that now. I've been flashing ROMS back and forth using various methods with no issues. For hboot 1.5 & S-ON users, the latest and greatest is 4EXT recovery. It did an excellent job at flashing custom roms & kernels as if I was S-OFF.
I suggest you read the basics about flashing and roms first. If you do use 4EXT Recovery, make sure "4EXT Smart Flash" is enabled(it will prompt you on first use).
So I just took the OTA from Sprint the other day, re-unlocked the HTCDEV way, and tried flashing a ROM, but kept getting bootloops. I think it has something to do with the fact that the ROM had a 2.17 base and now I have the 2.89 base. Is there any way to either revert back to 2.17 or am I kinda stuck where I'm at. Help please
Downgrade your bootloader using unknownforce's method. I had the same issue and it worked for me. I'm now back on 1.4 S-OFF instead of 1.58 Unlocked. Its very easy to do, and it negates the need for HTCDEV Unlock method.. just to be clear, I don't believe you can flash anything lower than what you currently have when it comes to firmware especially when you are S-ON since you cant write to those particular partitions where the kernel hboot etc etc are located.

IDK why you want to revert a previous and worse FW than actual. Why not flash a 2.89 Based ROM and problem gone? Just wait some days until devs make compatible the roms with latest base.
I have a 2.89 rom right now, but I've always loved certain aspects of Sense 3 and Sense 3.5 and I want to be able to try different roms to find the one I'm satisfied with, and since there's only 3 2.89 roms right now, all of them S3.6 I want to be able to go back to previous versions because S3.6 isn't my cup of tea
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
If you wanted that only you had to do was run 2.17 RUU and after that just Unlock it again and root. With 4ext after you ran the full RUU and unlocked with HTC Dev you can run GB and ICS Roms.
I tried that, the bootloader version doesn't work with the RUU

Yes i know that, I was saying before you upgraded to 2.89 FW and as far as i know there is no way to go back or run something made on a previous version for the base.
I kinda figured, I'm probably just gonna wait for the RUU for 2.89 comes out that way I can relock, run the ruu to get rid of the security warning, and downgrade to 1.40 and get s-off that way

Like I said, I did not try the wire trick LOL I prefer Unknown's simply because it was the only one available when I tried it. Phone's have a mind of their own IMHO LOL Well what you will need is the PG86IMG.zip for THAT particular part, then the 1.13 .exe file (which you can find anywhere!) thats the key part. Why do you think you need the RUU for 2.89? you can find the PG86IMG.zip file somewhere in the Dev section. replace the 2.17 zip file that most of us used to do it for the 2.89 .zip file and you're golden! As long as you can put it into EMMC recover mode, which you should be able to do so with the full ROM.zip file found in the Dev Section, just substitute 2.89 for 2.17 hope that helps man
Well from what I read, you need to flash the stock, unrooted OHHHHH wait just had an epiphany, I think I know what to do now, the only reason I thought you need the ruu was because in the video that shows you the bricking process, he said you need to run the ruu to remove the security flag so the pg86100.zip p****s

I want to go back simply because the performance of all of the new ICS roms is not on par with the GB roms available yet, especially with playing 2D and 3D games.

I screwed up...
This 2.89 crap is giving me a run for my money, I got a replacement phone, Totally unrooted of course
So my dumb a** accept the OTA, and now I'm hboot 1.58, SO, I figured I'd try to htc unlock and all that jazz, Which worked all up until install superuser.
CWM recovery would say installation complete but when I used Rootchecker or tried to use a root app just to try and get the prompt to see if I was rooted it was concluded that I wasn't, I Flashed SU 2.3.6.3 signed many many times hoping it would stick, But it didn't. So I got ballzy and tried to flash a (rooted) rom thinking that maybe it would go thourgh, But it didn't, So now I'm stuck on a splashscreen innevitably.
I'm about to try to flash meanrom with the new 2.89 base and maybe that'll boot, It's taking forever to download though, Anyone have some suggestions?? in case this rom doesn't work??
I feel like I need HTC to release the 2.89 RUU and I'll be gravy, Is this my only hope though??

have you tried a different recovery like TWRP to get it started instead of CWM? Nothing against OG's but TWRP seems to work a little better to get things off the ground a little more often than none.
