[Q] Is my phone s-off ?

[basentv]

Hi ,

I was trying to root and install a custom rom on my htc sensation. I did dev-unlock as instructed in

http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

after this it says its unlocked and it shows the the below information in my boot menu.

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
RADIO 11.22.3504.07_M

Does that mean my phone is already S-OFF ?

Or do I need to follow the instruction as explained in the below thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631

the below thread says, if the phone menu shows the below one its S-OFF. But in my phone it doesnt show S-OFF at the highlighted (in red) part

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000 S-OFF

It seems that your phone was shipped as S-OFF. It's quite rare, but it does happen. Just flash recovery and treat your phone as S-Off.

Thank you Astar26. So now can I go ahead and install any ROM of my choice ?

Once you have a custom recovery installed you can, yes. It will be super easy.

Getting S-Off is the hard part. Since you already have it, it's an easy road for you.

Hi,

I installed a Custom ROM . Its working great. Thanks a lot for the support.

I had bought this mobile from grey market so is it possible that this phone was a used one as it was already S-OFF when I bought it ?

It is possible, but there are also phones that were shipped as S-Off. You can know if your phone was used befor by removing the back cover, after some use it tends to collect some dust. Replacing the back cover itself is easy and it makes the phone look new. However, if your phone functions properly, there is absolutely no problem.

Enjoy your new Sensation
