[GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF (HBOOT 1.27.0000 with 3.32 ICS Firmware)

[joaquinf]

one carefully question... does this guide/tutrial also work with the new HBOOT-1.29.0000?

Wrong tread, too many tabs opened . Please delete.

Sorry

Hey guys, if there's a way to get RID of this S-OFF, I'm welcome to hear it. I want my warranty back and think I have pretty much messed up my phone. WiFi doesn't work, it gives "Error" when I try to turn it on, and stuff. I want to get it fixed without going to the HTC Service Centre... and I want to get back the stock S-ON bootloader, not JuopunutBear. Please help.

Oh, and auggie2k, a possible reason why I'm getting the wifi error may be because your rooted ROM version is 3.32.401.3, while my stock version is 3.32.707.110. I think the 3rd set of numbers makes a difference. So where do I get a stock ROM that's my version?

Well in my guide, at the top I highly recommending backing up and starting fresh with a clean stock ROM (I posted) and then running Bear.

But if S-OFF was successful, you need to do the same procedure I explained in my last post and extract the boot.img out of your 3.32.707.110 ROM ZIP instead and flash that in Fastboot to resolve the Wi-Fi error. This error has been around a while and it's what fixed my issue initially.

Probably a mis-match between kernel and wifi module... just use an RRU to return to (mostly) stock. You will still be S-OFF, but everything else will be stock. Also being S-OFF isn't really a reason for HTC to refuse you a warranty claim.

I sent my Nexus One to HTC to be repaired, and it came back from them as S-OFF (it was S-ON when I sent it, as no-one had bothered figuring out how to S-OFF them 'til recently).

on an unrelated topic. what is the difference between flashing roms unlocked and flashing roms s-off?

 

[T-Macgnolia]

S-off=security off/all partitions can be written to

Unlocked= only your Recovery, System, and boot partitions can be written to

Tried this with my version of the RUU... And fixed the error. Thanks so much..

Is there any chance to do that without booting the device and turn on usb debugging? Because my phone won't boot at the moment.

My experience

Brilliant guide, well done.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

Maybe somebody are learning from my experience

1. I had HTC Sensation classic hboot 1.27 and S-on ( unlocked by htcdev)
2. I try a lot metods to root my phone and nothing so I tried to install Android revolution HD with beats so ...it's coming with superuser installed so after that was rooted
3. So I could run ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN and after 10-15 times was at final S-off without rebooting and marked that didn't find /system/bin/rebooting but didn't know that was S-off after I tried to run ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN and was wrote that already S-off
4. Other strange thing ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN didn't wipe anything from my sd card after all.

I hope that is helpful for somebody. Good luck

Awesome guide, thank you very much. Worked flawlessly and received s-off at my third try! Perhaps this will help some people!

Work - tnx

What is interesting is that even though you are S-OFF, Fastboot Commander will fail to flash anything since phone is locked. Kinda defy the S-OFF procedure, don't you think?

So ControlBear.exe couldn't find any devices after reboot, and now on the screen of my phone there is just JuopnutBear and it won't go away, how do I get my phone back to normal?

Thanks

I don't have time to search for the post and link it right now. But one XDA member posted in this thread or the thread in development that they did the HTC Dev unlock again after gaining S-off Juopunutbear. And they stated they were unlocked after doing the HTC Dev unlock again.

If you can boot into Hboot ypou are not bricked. Boot to Hboot and select fastboot and then use either fast boot commands to flash the boot.img and system.img again.

What are the exact commands and where do I find those 2 images? I don't have them. Thanks.
My phone is also stuck, I can't boot it any more.

 

[T-Macgnolia]

Both can be found in the ROM's .zip file. Just extract the contents of the .zip file and you will find them. I do apologize as the system is not a .img file but just a regular file named system.

Thanks, and what are the fastboot commands to flash them?
