S-on, unlocked, H-Boot 2.09.000, Radio 1.12.11.1119.
Going to try and get s-off tomorrow. Tried a few times a few months ago and failed but now that MeanBean isn't being updated I am on an old ROM and want to get stuff up to date, including the touch panel driver so I'll devote most of the late morning and early afternoon to doing it.

Wish me luck!

So far so good. Only one error so far but I don't think it mattered.
ubuntu@ubuntu: ~/Downloads/DirtyRacun$ sudo ./fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 534642040 (0x1FDDFD78)
FAILED (status read failed (No such device))
finished. total time: 5.941s

The phone was rebooting I think when this error happened. I have continued to move on to flashing the RUU.zip.

NICE!!!!!!

sorry, been kind of busy today.....glad you got s-off.

i saw one of your posts mentioning updating your phone......never accept an ota if you plan on rooting or have rooted your phone. with each new ota's it makes rooting that much harder to do.

as far as roms go.....meanbean, viper, carbon and pacman are the one's the i like......but i'm more of an aosp rom person and right now i'm on jellybeer and it is pretty good so far.

I went back to MeanBean 3.09 since I was used to it. I went out of town unexpectedly so I am glad I had a familiar one. I also downloaded SuperJelly, haven't tried it yet. I'll give Viper a try, I looked at that one a while back.

Thanks for the informative posts, I wouldn't have gotten anything done with all the pieces that are spread around the internet.
