Well, the windows version is not working.. so you need to try the linux one

If you have a version of Hboot that is newer then 98.0 then i think you need downgrade... but if you didnt touch it i dont think you need.
[HTC Desire S] v7znay:
Download the regular ISO ubuntu (a lot faster) and than mount it with Deamon tools or something. It'll give you the option to run wubi and install ubuntu trough windows.
[HTC Desire S] codeXcalibur:
It worked great with Arch Linux! Very fast, < 1 min

Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] ghuk:
after entering sudo ./alpharevx it says password for my machine. I put my password and then it says "command not found" help please
[HTC Desire S] wassss:
please, how getting a beta release key ?
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
click on the linux download and it will appear
[HTC Desire S] ieftm:
In regards to RUU'ing for S-ON:

These hboots are 'downgrade protected'. This is to ensure you don't accidently take an OTA or RUU, overwriting HBOOT, losing S-OFF (and might leave you in an unrootable state).

We will be releasing downgrader HBOOTs for several devices as soon as time permits.

You flash these first, then RUU, and go back to stock S-ON.

TBH: If you immediately want to revert to S-ON, why the hell are you flashing S-OFF in the first place? (except for warranty purposes - hw defects)

But I'm assuming that won't spontaneously happen 5 minutes after you S-OFF, right? So have some patience. It will be revertable.
[HTC Desire S] jorisvdende:
Thanks a lot guys!

I just got S-OFF on my girls' Desire S.

I ran an USB Ubuntu boot on my Win7 rig, followed instructions and it worked like a charm! Thanks again guys! AlphaRevX FTW! :D
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
I had the same problem here is what to do:

Put alpharevx on ubuntu desktop

right click to options for alpharevx and check allow executing file as program

open terminal type:

cd /home/<username>/Desktop

sudo ./alpharevx

Phone has to be connected in "Charge only" mode and "USB Debuging" must be ON

Look i found a photo on google :)
[HTC Desire S] slvrbllt:
I understood that several users wanted to know whether S-OFF was revertable at all before even trying AlphaRevX.

So I first executed AlphaRevX to S-OFF my device then tried to revert it back just for the sake of knowledge.

I S-OFFed my device in the first place because that is what I wanted (and I still do)!!

Nonetheless my device could need assistance anytime, maybe 5 minute after S-OFF, maybe 1 month, maybe never... who knows.

I wanted to know how to solve the issue should I face it.

...and I have patience enough.

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
A question, how do I make "full wipe" after S-OFF before flashing any custom ROMS ?
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
I just wiped everything i could fiind in that recovery :D (except SD card)

How do you get the Serial key for Windows? Is it the same as for Linux? Anyone can confirmed Windows Version is working?
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
Can You give us a list of things You did, as when I tried it, it got stuck at that long wait (15+ minutes) thing.
[HTC Desire S] gr3yh0und:
The beta key for linux does not work on windows it sayss Invalid serial Key Aborting
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
So if I never tried to root it before I'm good to go and nothing shall be wiped? (not interested in flashing new rom)
[HTC Desire S] ieftm:
I'm not going to repeat myself again. Do. not. distribute. the windows version. it doesn't WORK. You're only confusing the **** out of people.

Stop trolling already.

[HTC Desire S] ghuk:
hi I need help. I manage to s-off my device, install gingerbreak, install busybox, install ROM manager, Flash CWM via Rom manager, but when I reboot to recovery mode, I only see a phone icon with Red triangle and exclamation mark inside it. I tried to flash again the CWM then reboot to recovery again but still I see the same red triangle icon
[HTC Desire S] zole:
I did it using VMWare on Windows7 OS, and i installed Centos 5.5 on vmware.

works great
[HTC Desire S] alexander.kilian:
Try "sudu <application>" to get root access on Linux, worked for me.
[HTC Desire S] hookguy:
Did it using wubi, allows you to install linux without removing your windows installation and without a cd or usb.

S-OFFd, but does this unlock your phone to all carriers?

[HTC Desire S] v7znay:
S-OFF! time to try some custom roms now :cool:
[HTC Desire S] ieftm:
Excuse me, can we pull our own stuff when we created it perhaps?

We never said it was open source, as it is not.

I thought you got your DS s-off with a clip? And told everyone to kiss your ass?

Stop being so ungrateful to the people developing this for the community. But I guess behaving normally is unknown to you.
[HTC Desire S] chipsjesjeng:
Excellent work Alpharev X........i quick installed VMware and mounted Ubuntu......

[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Thank you! Worked flawlessly using Linux version on Ubuntu USB Stick. Didn't take 5 mins to S-OFF.

You guys rock!!! \m/,

Now off to install custom roms.. yes!
[HTC Desire S] deadwilder:

thanks guys!
[HTC Desire S] craig1965:
Just one question after s-off does the phone still boot with the why so serious splash screen or has that been replaced

Ok cleaned the troll junk up :)

F... YEAH! :D windows version works well as hell. THANK YOU alpharev x team! kudos to YOU guys. :D
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
Works great!...
[HTC Desire S] davidreece:
just a quick question for the guys from alpharevx, great job by the way and just ignore anyone acting ungrateful they are a minority :) i have tried to downgrade but so far unsuccessfully and was wondering whether 98.0002 will be supported in the future? again thanks for your great work.
[HTC Desire S] thunder9111:
sigh.. i was so happy about this and prepared all the software and everything,

about to s-off.. then i found out my hboot was 0.98.0002...

hopefully it will be supported in the near future. :)
[HTC Desire S] stanny2k:
Is there a dumb ass step by step guide for Windows? Thx

Scrap that, the Linux guide is pretty simples. I'll give that a bash.

Good work Alpharev
[HTC Desire S] jh787:
what problems are you having?
[HTC Desire S] jh787:
remember to reset phone to factory settings after copying the required file to computer for editing.

Also you need to have everything ready to copy it back once the second temp root has taken place as you dont get much time.

Have command window entries ready by typing them in notepad or similar so you can quickly copy-paste-enter.
[HTC Desire S] stanny2k:
A factory reset is required for S-Off?

Fail.

How can I backup my apps? i.e. navigon and maps... That's the only one I care about really
[HTC Desire S] chrishull85:
S-OFF here now using the new windows version :). Great work custom rom time :D
[HTC Desire S] jh787:
that's what i did but i think you can get away with just deleting certain temp files from somewhere but i cant seem to find the post where i read that.

maybe someone here can help or request help in the desire s downgrade thread and they should be able to help.

I am talking about downgrading hboot so it is ready for s-off procedure.

The s-off will need to be done after the downgrade of hboot.

I used windows version on W7 Pro x64.

PS though after third try.

If not working try one more time and be patient!! it can take about 20 min with flashing CWM after s-offing.
[HTC Desire S] davidreece:
been following the guide on this forum and it doesnt mention any of that stuff, think im going to give it a miss, dont mind confusion but when there is a chance of bricking, forget it, someone needs to write a proper step by step downgrading guide as there seems to be a lot of steps missed out on the existing ones

Hi,

Please if you do have any solution for this. I can't get the sim unlocking work properly. The phone is s-Off and rooted with a custom ROM (SAGA LBC MOD v0.5.2).

[HTC Desire S] jh787:
Do you have the sim unlock code?

I had a similar problem when i tried to unlock a previous phone. (Desire)

I think the phone only removes the network lock Properly when it is a stock rom. I had an issue when i was running a custom rom and the code would be accepted but there was no service and when i rebooted it would always ask for the code again. I reinstalled a stock HTC rom and it unlocked properly first time and had to go through the root process again and then flash the rom back on.
[HTC Desire S] jh787:
are you using the original HTC cable?

Do you have another you could try?

Hi all

First of all, great job!!!

But I need your help. My DS 0.98.0000 and I try to s off my device, but no working. Ill try and try, nothing, just wrong beta key - aborted. Any help???
[HTC Desire S] jh787:
the key is case sensitive

make sure it is typed correctly
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
This doesn't sound like the soff software process is failing but simply that the website key generation or your serial number input or beta key input is causing you the problem
[HTC Desire S] konzul:
Ill typed correctly code, but aborted. Ok Ill wait and try again tomorow.... :-)
[HTC Desire S] sympathy:
thanks!

I was talking about Network Lock. I can't use another SIM Card besides Orange France one. When I put that SIM it works properly. When I insert any other card, I'm not able to get access even to the phone functionnalities.
[HTC Desire S] jh787:
Click on download again and get the key again ensuring you choose correct operating system and input correct serial number for phone (not imei)

it should give you the same key, if this is not the case then you may have made an error last time.

[HTC Desire S] FRASEB1:
an idea?
[HTC Desire S] jh787:
Sorry. that's what i meant.(network lock)

I think you will need to flash a stock rom first to network unlock it properly ( At least i did )
[HTC Desire S] jh787:
try putting the serial number in !!
[HTC Desire S] FRASEB1:
I 'll just see my mistake, :)))) i m nasty sorry^^ :)

I flashed with this ROM : RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release

When the phone started with Orange SIM Card I get a screen to choose Orange or other service providers using Orange Network in France.

When using a different SIM Card, I have a message asking me for a PIN Code to unlock the network and I can get access to the phone.

Edit 1: Now, CWM recovery mode is no longer available replaced by HTC after flashing. Went back to flash with alpharevx no way.
[HTC Desire S] jh787:
1. You need an unlock code from Orange or you can go to htcimeiunlock.com and get it from there.

2. Like i said earlier you will have to root phone again afterwards (which means going back to alpharev x for s-off if it is s-on again.)

[HTC Desire S] jh787:
Why don't you try flashing a stock ruu? Was s-off done with a clip or alpha revx?
[HTC Desire S] slvrbllt:
Like I reported in my previous post, flashing a stock RUU wouldn't work, since the HBOOT has been locked (by reporting itself to be version 6.98.0002 thus preventing a "downgrade" to 0.98.0000)

AlphaRevX is to release a tool that should restore the correct version number. After that you should be able to flash the original HBOOT again.

No ETA has been given though. Nonetheless I believe it is becoming quite urgent for AlphaRevX team to provide us with a rollback feature. The more people do S-OFF their device, the higher is the chance that one of these devices just needs repair.

(See posts #57, #88 and #91 for your own information)

[Atrix 4G General] SolidHelix:
do we need wake on volume keys? it seems to me it's already in there stock. oh wait that's because i have no lock installed. yeah, if you install no lock volume keys will wake
[Atrix 4G General] adrianaxente:
yes that is true if you have the lock installed then the volume keys will wake.
[Atrix 4G General] SolidHelix:
According to ^ maledyris' thread, it will cause a bootloop on this build
[Atrix 4G General] adrianaxente:
I it is very possible to cause boot loops because things changed from 2.3.4 HKTW.

You can try apply updates made to HKTW but before that wipe everything (data, dalvik caches, etc) from CWM recovery.If you apply those updates even if it works you will do a kind of downgrade. So I don't advise.
[Atrix 4G General] adrianaxente:
I took the new files from the rom and modified them to avoid putting back an old "apk", "prop", "so", "jar" or other kind of system files.
[Atrix 4G General] Gandalf:
will this work with the beta 5 ?

and would you be able to script it so it's similar to the script for the wake on volume keys? where you can individually choose which mods are installed?

because i know personally, i would like some of these, but not others
[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
I was on the motorola forums and I heard someone from Moto saying the hardware can easily handle the 1080p compression but the software is no where near optimized enough. Still too choppy IMO. I wonder if they will get it working right.

Thanks for this quick little zip file though, makes life a lot easier.
