Thanks for the reply guys. However, I still have a problem.

S-off doesnt seem to be working. When I boot from the s-off ISO image, it is stuck at the stage where it pushes necessary files to my phone and nothing happens. I waited for around 20 mins and no joy.

And "rm -r" doesnt seem to be working as well. Same error message as plain 'rm' :-(

Ok... s-off didnt work with VMWare, but worked with Virtualbox. All ok now. I have deleted everything HTC from the phone now :huh:

Thanks for the replies guys. Much appreciated :rolleyes:
