Get an normal watch and ignore your computer monitor...phone in your hand...press enter and look 3 seconds on the watch then press the power button on the phone(step 1)... wait for your phone to reboot... press enter and look 4 seconds on the watch then press the power button on the phone(step 2)... just wait and you are s-off...
That's how i did it
anybody updated to hboot 1.8? do we need to repeat the entire procedure?

thanks worked like a charm with this method

Hi, now i have s-off legend and alphared hboot 1.0. But in the 3rd step my legend was 15 mins saying me flahsing .... : ok. And in my phone only flash hboot and no recovery, i flash it later. I had to reflash my rom for my phone start normaly and not start in Hboot. This is normal?

I have a rom blayo rom with a2sd.

Thanks, now i have hboot alpharev 1.0 and clockmodrecovery.

I'm not sure if this has been answered or not, but when I try to do the power-button bit my phone is frozen as soon as the message comes up. I managed to get to the next step anyway by rebooting into fastboot then plugging it back in, but it froze for that step too. I did the same thing and plugged it back in, and it rebooted normally and the program went into a terminal. Will the timing thing (3s then 4s) work? And do I need to press it 3s after I press any key on the comp or before?

Follow the onscreen instructions... If you get the timing right, the rest is pretty much straightforward.

I did follow the onscreen instructions, but when the "Press the power button on your phone NOW" came up, it was already frozen, and didn't work. I was pressing it repeatedly for about a minute and nothing happened.

This its exactly why you have to do the 3s/4s count.. It has been described several times.. Read thus thread again..

What worked for me was to start pressing the Power button as soon as you hit Enter (as opposed to waiting for the on-screen prompt).

 

[Ravrahn]

I got past that part with the counting method, but it seems to have stuck on "Flashing new bootblock: OK". It's done nothing for half an hour now, and I don't know whether to leave it be for the next 3 hours (I have to go out) or take it out. I can't tell if it's done or not.

I use that site when I'm doing a hard reset on my routers using the 30-30-30 method

I pulled it out, and rebooted - it would only boot into recovery until I re-flashed CM7, and it's been working as it had been since then. I'm not sure if it worked, though - it said it had flashed HBOOT successfully, and the bootloader has a label on it saying "--- AlphaRev ---", and it says S-OFF, but the error and that a font changer app didn't work suggests to me that it may not have worked. Is there any way to test?

has ur splash screen changed to alpharev...
try to uninstall a system app from titanium

 

[Ravrahn]

I retained the default CM7 spashscreen, but I successfully uninstalled Email with Titanium Backup. That means it works, right?

 

[Catnap]

Just go back into the bootloader menu, s-off will be displayed there. Volume up + power on.

The bootloader splash screen is before the CM7 splash. Does it say HTC or Alpharev?

 

[Ravrahn]

HTC, and, as I said, it does say S-OFF in the bootloader.

u r using s-off features and still having doubts about being s-off or not?!!!
surely your phone is s-off

 

[Ravrahn]

The "That means it works, right?" was pretty much when the doubt went away. Thanks for the help, everyone.

Still, I wonder what went wrong? The unchanged splashscreen and the phone not booting until a reflash I think means the procedure failed, but I've still got S-OFF.

I just posted this in another thread:


As far as I'm aware of it there were some devices shipped with S-OFF, but it was incomplete in terms of actual write access to the /system and /recovery partitions.

I'm curious, if you do "adb remount" after booting and write a file to /system does it stay there after a reboot?
