I think l know why it reverts to original hboot after scanning for diag files. It first loads hboot and checks if sdcard is there. if sdcard is there checks diag files and loads hboot again with flashing mode, else it just sits on hboot doesn't load again. this is why it locks up when there is no sdcard.
This is my theory about hboot.

Two methods are better than one :D
I'd say we keep one of them as a backup,preferably the one that is 'Noob Friendly' so that we dont get "My phone's bricked!!! &%!@ You" from Non-readers

I've been following this thread for about a week or so now, and I've been reading through what you guys have been writing, even though I only understand about 10% of it myself. I know I'm not exactly contributing to this thread with this, but with two methods under your belt now, how long will it be until a guide to S-OFF is released? Perhaps a week or 2?

Without testers it will not! :) First you need to test if RUU (with diferent partition layout) is instalable to phone (that have another partition layout), than we can test exploit! Another thing. How you expect that s-off will be finished when no one want to test an simple ruu thing? Do not forget, wfs phone have two versions, one version is diferent than another version, there diference is only in two diferent nand partition layout... did you ever tried to install that diferent ruu that have diferent partition layout than your curent rom installed... etc? I just waiting that info first!

then unfortunately I can not help you and test it. 1.03.0001 is a cdma variant hboot.
gsm only has 1.03.0000

Ok, found here unbranded rom http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19094201&postcount=45 that contain hboot 1.03.0000 so I must to patch that hboot :( but ok I will do it for you if you are ready to test! First try to install that rom and let me know if you have success! If you have allready an rom that you tested allready (contain hboot 1.03.0000 than you no need to install http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19094201&postcount=45) please let me know

Haha... so funny... I would if it wasn't main phone...

But haven't I risked a bit with custom roms etc... or are HTC just being over cautious (when you unlock bootloader)

Unlocking the bootloader the htc way has a low risk of bricking the phone. also installing custom roms. you can always restore everything you changed if you just have unlocked bootloader. well, basically

S-OFF is the real risky thing. because then you can also change things that you are not supposed to by htc.

RUU_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.66.401.1_Radio_47.10g.35.3032H_7.49.36.01M_release_209754_signed

attached new misc according to above RUU
Well, I patched misc.img just for test (without risk for brick) but before I continue to prepare hboot, first I want to be sure if misc exploit working! What you need to test now? You need to install this patched misc.img! Best way to do that is:
- reboot to recovery
- adb push misc.img /
- adb shell erase_image misc
- adb shell flash_image misc /misc.img
Than (this step is very needed, just you need to dump misc again and you need to be sure if patched misc is installed to nand!!!). If is installed sucesfully than:
- adb shell reboot bootloader
- fastboot getvar mainver

If your screen going black after command "fastboot getvar mainver" that we are ready for misc exploit! :) Please let me know! Password for archive I will send you by pm!
