Everything S-OFF - Think tank, General information, Q&A

---

Hi,

this is a development & collection Thread. The PH85IMG.ZIP files can be flashed through SD-CARD in HBoot Mode. This works only for S-OFF users. If you don't have S-OFF you cannot use the files. There is no way to get S-OFF on a normal S-ON phone now.

If you want to help, check if you have S-ON or S-OFF. Turn off the phone, reboot with the volume button held down, and check at the top of the white screen if it says "SHIP S-ON", "SHIP S-OFF" or "ENG S-OFF". S-ON is stock and not helpful, SHIP S-OFF could be useful, the really helpful ones are ENG S-OFF. Please don't post asking if you can help if you have S-ON.

HOW TO DUMP YOUR HBOOT (please remember this is only interesting if you already have S-OFF)

1. Download ADB: http://www.mediafire.com/?5d0v316g9bg97
2. Extract the contents of the zip to C:\
3. Run the commands below:

cd c:\adb
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img

Note: If your device is not detected, download and install HTC Sync.
4. Connect your phone in USB Mode, copy the hboot.img file from your SD card and upload it to Multiupload.


How To Flash Eng Hboot:
1. Comming soon

that would be more of a sim unlock feature, u would prob need to wait for a mod to unlock the sim, but it would be easier to call tmobile and get a code, or maybe even buying a code online.. that is if the code has been released from HTC yet.

I was able to get an unlock code for mine two weeks ago so I would think most if not all unlock codes would be available now.

Did you get this through T-Mo, HTC or a third party/pay site?

i have the same problem. i hold the volume down key and turn it on, then it boots like normal.

Power off is "quick"boot. You want to restart. And hold volume down.
