The easiest way to get s-off would be to read the sticky FAQ post FIRST

s-off isnt available. You dont need s-off to flash roms and kernels. You need root and your bootloader unlocked. Plenty of threads about how. look for hasoons toolkit.

This post is a little dead but I'd like to seek clarification at what exactly you can and can't do with S-on/off. It's still a little fuzzier there. Perhaps some concrete examples?

Nice, thanks for the link JoeDoe.
So s-off will be essential in playing with the radio bands, among a bunch of other stuff. Predictions on how long it takes our amazing devs to bust through s-on? (o:
The unrevoked did not give me s-off and other ideas. Thanks.

i don't think it is for the One
in time you will probably get it, but quicker and like the One S you'll get radio installers like Tecardo's and MrHydes that require no s-off. Some put the radio into System partition a way to bypass not having s-off
One S has no s-off but with these tools from the devs, no problem

Unrevoked is not for this device. It was initially developed for Evo 4g (unrEVOked). That thread was linked for clarification of ramifications of s-off. Generally you need s-off to update radios.

You can't get s-off yet. Just unlocked bootloader.

-Flashing different radios with different roms. (ie: there wouldn't have to be device specific roms and people wouldn't need certain hboots )
-Flashing a new bootsplash.
It'd be pretty nice to have S-off if I do say so myself.
S-off is indeed useful. I took it for granted on my old Incredible. I miss it.

Wondering if the revolutionary tool for the sensation can be modded to s-off the raider/vivid..

The Amaze seems to have just been successfully s-off'ed so hopefully some smart devs can work some magic.

Its coming!
Looks like another dev (or a few of them working together?) is working hard on s-off for the raider - just saw a post over in vivid development forum with some screenshots of before and after a successful s-off on the vivid. It says "coming soon....." on the op!

U can unlock the bootloader via the htcdev.com site.
The fact you have s-off is very special as every vivid I have seen is s-on

*PLEASE*, join us on IRC at #htc-holiday on freenode. We will help you to get what we need off of it, and this may very well lead us to a complete root / S-Off. I am IanWizard, and also, IOMonster, or any of the other users that are listed as "voiced" can help you, or put you in contact with us. This is very incredible. We hope to see you soon.

please share what s-off means, sim unlocked?
When rooting i think mine said off as well. Don't quote me on that will check and report back.
Don't have the phone with me.

Cruising through but s-off means security off. You can write to certain partitions like the radio ect which you can't do with HTC unlock
Sent from my Warm 3.5 Evo using XDA app
OMG!
!!Thank you!!
...I don't care how you got it - you have S-OFF on your phone!
**begins to drool**
..I wish I was a dev. Good luck to all those who are about to work on this - all the guys like me are looking forward to playing with the spoils of your labors..lol. If only I knew linux, I'd be glad to help.
So, here's some information that I've gathered from jcase so far about your phone...
It would appear that you have Radio S-OFF, which is great news for you and you only right now.
Basically, it means that you have full access to your /system partition and almost everything else without using the HTCDev unlock tool. Any root you attempt will stick just fine.
Some background information, as I understand it to be:
HBOOT gets it's s-on or s-off status by querying the radio and asking for the "secuflag" (might be "secflag"-- just going off the top of my memory). Once HBOOT receives it's answer, it proceeds to either lock or leave unlocked certain partitions.
All this is to say that the only thing different between your phone and say, mine, is the radio config partition where "secuflag" is stored. The problem lies in the fact that on our devices, we can't access the radio config partition (as far as I know) to manually set that flag.
However, it is possible that just having a copy of your radio config partition could lead to some interesting discoveries in regards to where the flag is and what value it should be set to if we wish to try it on our phones.
Either way, it'd be great if you could stop by #htc-holiday and ping me (IOMonster) or IanWizard on IRC. What you have could potentially be a huge help to us-- or just a special bonus for you and you alone
Thanks!
I just pray this leads to a full s-off method. I don't wanna root my Vivid until s-off is achieved. Too used to flashing with s-off from my Inspire.

Woow. S-off vivid. How did you got it or make it to s-off. I have an AT&T htc jetstream and want to s-off. Is there anyone can help me to unlock the secuflag on vivid and jetstream? I hate that at&t firmware.

Maybe HTC is getting tired of us harrasing them and leaked this? Cause they ... Care about Devs ....
Who wants to be able to flash completely from your phone without fastbooting the kernel?
Looks lot closer now.

Hey guys, my HTC Incredible S today gets an ICS OTA update. I have updated it. The version has become 4.0.4.
I have never S-Off or Root my device at all. My Hboot 2.02 and locked. Now I want to root my device.
Can anyone tell me how many ways I can S-Off my device? Are there any other ways beside HTCDev Unlock?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys soon.
There is a guide in development called All in one for noobs made by me. That's as easy as your gonna get if you want s off
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Thanks for your reply. I have read through your post. However, I saw the topic is for 1.16 and 2.0. That's why I feel reluctant whether my hboot is 2.02 which is higher than the topic you posted.
So you mean I can do it by your instructions?

Well since you have upgraded your HBOOT to 2.02.0002, the HTCDEV unlock method is your only choice right now. The tacoroot exploit that is used with the downgrade script does not work with HBOOT 2.02.0002.
Can you tell me how to get s-off after unlocking by HTCdev? As I know, it just unlock the device, cut the security is still on.

With the HTCDEV option you will be able to install custom recovery and then root the current ROM by installing su-3.1.3.zip, but you will not gain S-OFF.
Technically there is a difference, but people tend to use the terms interchangably.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Code:
I have a basics down of flashing roms. My bootloader is unlocked. I have the TWRP recovery.
But I want to S-OFF because it's easiar to flash roms and since I'm going out of the country I need to Sim - Unlock.
I haven't found any clear instuctions on how to S-Off. I'm going to use [URL="http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm"]Juopunutbears tool.[/URL]
I have ubuntu 12.04 32 bit installed. But I'm not entirelly sure what a stock RUU? Is it just a stock 4.0.1 rom? Is there a step by step video on how to S-off and sim-unlock?
Thanks!
DID IT!
59 views and no one said anything? Lol. Just find the S-Off thread in the development section and follow the instructions from the site you are directed to. You will need to revert back to stock using the RUU(.exe). I used Windows for that. It's all on the site

If youre reverting to stock via RUU, relock your bootloader. Run the RUU while connected in fastboot. Use the S-Off all in one located in I think its dev section, no ubuntu necessary, works in windows & has instructions. Super easy

being that we only have one s-off method, hassoon's toolkit was using this method for s-off. It does suck that the toolkit is gone, but everything it did is completely doable without..
I decided to randomly check my phone and noticed although I am "Tampered" & "Unlocked", my phone now says S-On. It use to say S-Off. So my question is, what steps do i take to regain S-Off? My phone runs great with my custom rom. I just dont want to run into any future problems if and when i decide to flash something else. Thank you in advance for any help given.

You never had S-off.
Boot loader unlock and S-off are two different things.
