[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tweak-Man:
As you may have noticed, the revolutionary.io's website is now down for a few months, letting owners of old HTC's devices unable to S-OFF their devices.

However, I've been able to patch the revolutionary tool to avoid the need of a beta key, required and delivered from the revolutionary.io website in the past, to use the tool.

This patched version has been tested on my own HTC Desire, but I don't guarantee that it works for every supported phone (but normally it should).

I will *NOT* put this patched tool online until I have the permission from a member from AlphaRev/unrEVOked team (I tried to contact them directly but with no success).

When I'll have an answer, I'll upload my patched version online, but not before. Don't ask for ETA nor private messages before I have an official permission to do this.

Thanks for your understanding and hope to have an answer quickly, for all the old HTC devices to be unlocked.

EDIT

Waiting for an answer on their IRC channel, I've found their new website, available here: rev.alpharev.nl.

As the project is still up and running, I won't upload my patched version online. However, if AlphaRev or unrEVOked allow me to put this version online, I will.

Here are the HBOOT drivers: HBOOT drivers 3.0.0.007.exe

Here are the modified Android USB drivers: android-usb-driver.zip

Quick guide

Go on rev.alpharev.nl - If you have any problem to access the website, please try to use a proxy or Tor to route from Germany, France or Switzerland. Thanks to @Robcr for finding this !

Click on one of the download links (Windows or Linux, depending on your Operating System)

(The tool will be downloaded - decompress it somewhere on your computer)

Complete the form that appeared on rev.alpharev.nl with all the information (Operating System, your device, HBOOT version and Serial Number)

This will generate the right beta key for your phone using the provided information (JavaScript needs to be enabled

Launch the tool and enter the beta key received from the website when needed

Here you go, the magic should happen :)

I would like to ask you not to send me PMs to send you the patched version. If I release the patched version one day, it will be released here, and only here.

EDIT 2022-01-09

As stated in my latest post, I was finally able to release the patched version of the Revolutionary tool.

You can find the post here and you can download the tool here.

Thanks for your understanding,

Tweak-Man
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] miguemely:
Chances are, to be completely honest, the project isn't up and running, since it redirects to a deprecated revolutionary site. You should just publish it. We, users of the HTC Desire/HTC Incredible, have no other means of rooting.

Thanks,

Miguel R.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tweak-Man:
I totally agree that the project is dead, however you can still have access to the tool and the beta key from rev.alpharev.nl.

When this website will be dead without any other solution, I'll post my patch.

However, I'll post as soon as possible all the other tools needed (HTC HBOOT USB drivers, etc) as well as a completed guide :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JohnnyGipsy:
How i could access a beta key on that site (rev.alpharev.nl)?

I've updated the original post as well, for others. Let me know !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JohnnyGipsy:
Sorry but there is no link for revolutionary only a link to the down page.. Only download links for alpha rev 1.8. And if I click one of them it downloads alpha red that's all that happened. So where exactly I should click. Here is a picture what I see on that page.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tweak-Man:
You are not on the right website. On the screenshot, you are on alpharev.nl, not rev.alpharev.nl
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JohnnyGipsy:
I always be redirected to that site and in browser the right size are standing look.

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

Sorry tweak man I tried it on PC on phone many browsers but equal if I type rev I came always on the old alpha page. Also I cleared browser caches.

There is only that side. If you have a different one screenshots please.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tweak-Man:
Hmm I must admit I'm confused, I don't have any problem on my side. Anyone else has this problem?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JohnnyGipsy:
Mhhh strange I really could not access this page.

The only thing I was able to do, was to search with Google and it found the page you are talking about. If I click open in cache I see it but Java not working on cached sides, so I could not create a key. If I click normal on the link it open the old alpharev page.

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

OK I have a key. A online browser helped. I opened the page with a simulated browser in my browser. Normally used in country's like China to open forbidden pages but it worked. I wrote down the key but now I destroyed the USB cabel because I pulled to hard now the plug is broken. New one ordered.

Hi

I have hboot 1.20.0000 but it's not in list

What do I do?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tweak-Man:
You must find a way to downgrade your HBOOT version to one supported by Revolutionary. You can search here on XDA in your phone's section to see if it's possible. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alimoheb:
Do u know any page?

I can't find
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tweak-Man:
I can't help you much here, I don't even know your phone model. However, even if I had it, you must search in your device's section, I'm pretty sure there is something about downgrading HBOOT version. Hope you'll find out!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alimoheb:
Okey
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shrooblord:
Although a guide would be super useful, I'm sure I can figure my way through the process using all the various tutorials already available from years ago.

However, the one thing I do not have and do not have access to and definitely need are the HTC HBOOT USB drivers you mention. If you could upload those soon and please do so soon, you'd help me out so so much. Thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tweak-Man:
Here you go :)

The HBOOT drivers: HBOOT drivers 3.0.0.007.exe

The modified Android USB drivers: android-usb-driver.zip
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shrooblord:
Such a hero! I think people in the future will thank you also. ;)

I know that's how I got this far in the first place - thanks, 3-year old xda forum posts!

Follow this guide.

Near the end it's going to tell you to download a .19 rom, but the link is dead. Get it from here instead: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390331926465740909
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Robcr:
Any movement on the release of this?

Dont know about others, but the site is dead for me. Tried a number of browsers but no beta key etc although I do have rev with beta for my old phone.

Alpharev 1.8 and hboots all ok but no revolutionary
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tweak-Man:
As the website is still online (rev.alpharev.nl using Chromium) and didn't receive any news about the permission to release the patch, I will not do it now.

Have you tried to use a VPN or a proxy ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Robcr:
rev.alpharev.nl is available without a proxy, but we are referring to revolutionary.io linked from there
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tweak-Man:
Sorry, but I don't get what you are talking about. The website 'revolutionary.io' is definitely dead, they will not put it back online.

If you click on 'Download for Linux' or 'Download for Windows' from rev.alpharev.nl, a form appears and allows you to get a beta key that should work with the tool 'revolutionary.exe'.

Have I answered your question ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Robcr:
Nope

Saw the reference to 'click on download ....' mentioned here before (and i must have used it years ago), but like others have reported here, no matter what client I use or proxy, even through tor, I only get the downloads for splash screens, hboots (downloaded a few of those), the donate button still works, and the link to the revolionary.io that brings up a spam site.

NO download for windows or linux anywhere

If you get something else, are you sure yours isnt a cached page?

but thanks for taking the time to respond.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tweak-Man:
I finally got what happened. The website you are visiting is alpharev.nl. It is true that this website is a bit outdated (links redirect to revolutionary.io and you can only download the old and 'not used anymore' tool "AlphaRev 1.8" with its files (HBOOT and so). This website is only usefull for the HBOOTs.

The website that is working is rev.alpharev.nl. The difference is the 'rev.' before the domain name. I have tried to access to this website from many proxies and so, always working without any limitations.

Can you confirm that it is now working for you or even rev.alpharev.nl redirects you to alpharev.nl ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Robcr:
No that page is not working other than as I stated.

Def using the rev.alpharev - although both look and work exactly the same to my access. I've downloaded hboots from both

Both resolve to the same IP - even using external resolve like network tools site

(although my browser does treat them locally as different eg in what hboots change colour as downloaded)

So seems to me that any redirect issues would seem to be at shadowchild

or newer page only available through cache of people who accessed before when available

Happy to try other options
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Robcr:
After many attempts resulting in getting the older web page others here have also reported getting for both addresses, even when using a proxy and tor, I have just updated Tor and routed through France I have got the page tweak-man has been describing (thanks for help)

So it would seem like there is some issue with various routes to this page which will often return an older - or more likely redirect to the older page for many users.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjrj2000:
Looks like the site is dead again. I keep getting:

The rev.alpharev.nl page isn’t working

rev.alpharev.nl didn’t send any data.

ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Any help?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Robcr:
Offline through French and German proxies too

Note site is also reported as untrusted
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oceans852:
could you help :o

i can't access rev.alpharev.nl to get the beta key for HTC incredible s :(

always i get

This site can’t be reached

rev.alpharev.nl refused to connect.

tried different browsers and proxies even different PC :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tweak-Man:
As the website is back online, you should be able to get the beta keys from there.

I would like to ask you not to send me PMs to send you the patched version. If I release the patched version one day, it will be released here, and only here.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oceans852:
Thanks it finally works :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Robcr:
These issues with accessing the site might (appear to be) be more related to dns rather than proxy or browser

There are utilities to change your dns if you aren't aware of how, or want to do it easily

eg: dns jumper

Remember to flush DNS (a button with DNS jumper) and probably flush browser cache befor eretry with DNS change

I look at this in more detail when i get chance, but low on my priorities at moment as I haven't figured out how to get PVT4 desire back to a rev'able version of OS yet.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zeeBomb:
Does this site still work???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zseblampas:
The rev.alpharev.nl worked on 17.07.2018, now is down again. I really hope it will be available soon, there are still many people wanting to use (again) their Desire!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] evilcorp:
still not working as of 7 oct 2018:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zseblampas:
Guys, I found the alpharev site, the rev.alpharev page and the revolutionary.io site on the archive.org. The revo.io site still has the revolutionary executable, I can click on download, and now comes the best part: the box with the fillable fields is showing up for a fraction of second, but in the next moment the download screen pops up and all other things vanish. If someone has the skill to make it work, or to extract the javascript to make a working key generator, it would be great!

PS: the same thing is going on with the archived (rev.)alpharev site, but there you can download the alpharev.iso and the hboot versions too!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Darth Riker:
Hi,

I am trying to breathe back some life into my old HTC Incredible S. Since I am only trying to go through the process of unlocking the bootloader, rootiing, s-off, etc (using this guide https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2118187) now although a few links are no longer working.

I have managed to find all the files, though, and go through the steps I needed but now I am stuck with getting S-off because revolutionary.io, rev.alpharev.nl and alpharev.nl are all offline.

As Zseblampas posted you can access the revolutionary.io in the Wayback Machine website but it doesn't let you access the key generation tool properly.

Would you be able to post your version of the tool so those of us with these devices trying to get S-OFF can do so please?

Thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zseblampas:
Hi

The only way I know (which may or may not work for your device) is the S-Off iso, please be my guest and download from my Onedrive.

It worked with my Desire with PVT 3, not working with PVT 1 (tested)

Wait a minute, I just found out that the htcdev.com/bootloader page (needs registration) has the solution for your device too, not S-Off, but bootloader unlock, which should do the trick. Btw., they have the same tool for the original Desire too (Bravo, A8181).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Robcr:
https://web.archive.org/web/20180311050405/http://rev.alpharev.nl:80/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Darth Riker:
Hmm. Not sure if the iso will work for my Incredible S. They are different phones ...so possibly not. How would I go about installing the iso out of interest?

I know about HTC Dev. First step in the guide I'm using. My bootloader is unlocked, I have root access, just haven't bothered downgrading the HBOOT because I couldn't get access to the page to S-OFF.

How did you get access to the S-OFF iso by the way?

---------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

That doesn't work. As mentioned in the previous post.

The problem is when you click on the link to download the file (which I have done already) the blue window to enter the details pops up BUT the Wayback Machine then changes the page to the one hosting the file.

So, unfortunately, not useful.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BigChaz01:
Well, the "new" site is dead, too, I think it's time to release the patched version....

[EDIT]

or, at least the patch, so we can patch our own copy of the file, which I was finally able to find...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] silegeek:
Guys, this may or may not help, but since the guy who "patched" the file to not need the beta key has all but vanished (why not just bloody release it for f%^& sake?).

You can access the site using way back machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20180311050405/http://rev.alpharev.nl:80/ but the problem is, when you click download, the form appears, but then everything disapears.

I had no luck getting it to work, but when you press the download link, as fast as you can, press ESC at the same time. It stops the web page from loading further. It can take a few tries to get it to stay put, but it allows the form to stay put. I managed to fill it out and press generate, but nothing happens for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lewis102:
beta key

As the guy above commented. the patch needs released (with no disrepect to alpha rev ). or aleast the form reconstructing from the web archive so people can gen there own beta key. it seems the guy who came up with the patch is not even around these xda developer pages any more.

I bought a htc desire s to edit the radio functions with the s-off. after spending a day downgrading rooting, editing versions and getting to the correct hboot. i cant even turn the write protection off to do what i need with the phone . of course not having a go wouldnt be possible without these android devs just equally as frustrated that i cant achieve the s-off because of a downed webpage.

I do not know JavaScript and I may be wrong, but cannot there be a way to reverse-engineer the beta key geenrating function? I found this file and I belive it is responsible for generating the beta keys... But again I may be compleatly wrong.

Hello [MENTION=4714993]Tweak-Man[/MENTION],

As you can see, as of today (2019-09-15), no site is up to generate beta keys to S-OFF our ancient HTC devices.

If you're still around, would you consider releasing your patch to help us save the planet by extending our devices' life ?

I'm really sorry I didn't post the patch before, I completely forgot about this project and since I logged in for the first time in a long time, I only saw all your posts now.

Since the website is effectively dead and I haven't received any response from the Revolutionay team, I'm publishing the tool I patched in the past, hoping it will still be useful to some of you.

Again, I'm really sorry that I haven't answered your questions in all these years.

If some of you try the tool, can they validate for the rest of the community if it works and what model the tool was successful with?

Sorry again and take care,
