Default [Q] From Alpharevx to HTCDEV?

I was with cyanogen mod 7.2 RC and ext4 for recovery and I wanted to test cyanogen 9 (Now on cyanogen 9 thread it is writen need a device htcdev Unlocked)
My device was Soff with revolutionary alpharevx....
I try HTCDEV unlock impossible (no token with the oem command)
So i read many pages on this desire S forum to downgrad boot ect...
I use DD command to flash eng HBOOT 0.98.0000
Now on my device start i have:
Saga PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.98.0000
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMMC-boot
(no eng :/ but 0.98 boot)
My recovery do not works anymore but my phone is not bricked i can fastboot but not adb
I can't download on filefactory (no more free slot) other RUU but I have EUR RUU 2.10.401.9 but it refuse to install (bad Id ... something like that)
i try to flash the recovery from the RUU rom.zip but he refuses: remote signature verify fail.
Do i need another RUU my GOAL is to S-OFF with HTCDEV to have cyanogenmod rom (7.2 and 9?) works.
What file i need to flash (flashboot sd card) ?
Plz help me i am really getting lost.

I'm quite confused. You wanted to switch ROMs, so where did HTC-DEV come into it?

HTC Desire S .:. AlphaRevX S-OFF
ROM .:. Andromadus
Kernel .:. Custom 3.0 Kernel
Recovery .:. 4EXT Recovery

C'est juste une précision, comme quoi les gens qui ont utilisé htc-dev doivent flasher le boot.img séparément avec fastboot. Ca ne veux pas dire que tu dois obligatoirement passer par htc-dev. Tu es S-OFF, tu pouvais installer la rom directement comme n'importe quelle autre.

Sorry for answering in french.

Yeah you screwed up badly. The guide doesn't say you need it, its saying if you are HTCdev unlocked you need to flash the boot.img. if you are soff all you do is flash the ROM.

Rather install a 0.98 hboot RUU so you can s-off again afterwards.....

Should have asked or done some more research before acting...

Wait for a free slot.

HTCDEV is strongly discouraged. If you didn't have USB debugging on, I see no reason why ADB should work.

Calm down. Set the phone aside for a day. Rather than making posts, read through relevant posts and use the search button as often as you get the urge. Remember, Google search is as well your friend.
If I've helped you in any way, please press the "THANKS" button.

I can see how a non English speaker could have easily miss understood those instructions though, so I've suggested that nexx change the wording so that no one else makes the same mistake
