Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool

At last, the time has come -- unrevoked and AlphaRev have come together to join our strengths and build an S-OFF tool for the next wave of phones. We're very excited about this, and we hope that you will be too! We've been working on this for a while, and we'd like you, our fellow developers, to get early access, so you can build awesome applications and amazing ROMs for everyone to use. So, today, we're releasing for you a developer preview of something that we call Revolutionary.

Revolutionary? Why the name? Well, this tool is revolutionary in a couple of ways. It's the first major collaboration between two development groups that we know of -- and in honesty, we've stood on the shoulders of other giants, too, in building this! It's revolutionary in some of the mechanisms by which we gain S-OFF; we have worked quite a while to build this, and we think that we've come up with a robust solution. And, we'd like to think of it not just as a revolutionary tool, but as a revolutionary itself! Over the past few months, our community has successfully convinced HTC and other vendors of the need to provide unlocked bootloaders for their phones. As we build this tool out to work with the unlocked updates, we're excited about the next wave of innovation that this tool can help spark.

Let's get started!

This software is a developer preview. We still haven't made it perfectly easy to use for everyone, but we want power users and developers to be able to get started. If you're not a developer, feel free to try it out anyway; but you'll have to be patient with us while we iron out the wrinkles.

All devices included in this release have been pretested. Please note, however, that bugs could still be present! If you're willing to accept the risks anyway, download the binary for your OS below, and generate a beta key through the application form that appears. In case we need to make changes to the tool, every phone has a unique beta key, so in this developer preview, you'll have to get a key for each phone you wish to unlock.

Before you begin, please carefully read our documentation page for this tool; that page also lists which devices (and which versions of those devices) are supported.

Okay. Ready?

Downloads

Download for Linux • Download for Windows

(The beta key form will appear once you cilck on a download link -- if it doesn't, make sure that you have JavaScript enabled.)

The new REVOLUTIONARY!
[Android Software Development] MohamedYousri:
unfortunately it doesn't work with Desire HD !
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Well, you can get true radio S-OFF on the Desire with gfree, so I don't understand why you care.
[Android Software Development] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
So, what exactly does this do now? I'm no developer :/
[Android Software Development] MohamedYousri:
Cuz i have the latest update of GB and i have to downgrade before rooting the device and i want to root the device and keep the original ROM
[Android Software Development] abtxpress:
Will this work on the Incredible 2 with the Gingerbread OTA?
[Android Software Development] NoSubstitute:
Is this something you see will be solved in the foreseeable future, or will that have to be another project?
[Android Software Development] teorouge:
Hello, thanks for the news! Any chance you're still working on Legend (HBOOT > 1.00)?
[Android Software Development] Bingley:
Any chance this would be working for the Desire 2.3 update?
[Android Software Development] teorouge:
People tried, it doesn't (yet? maybe future releases?).
[Android Software Development] manle010:
I installed the revolutionary software, plugged in my phone and it says waiting for device. Do I need to be in recovery for the program to recognize my phone. I'm pretty sure it doesn't need to be in the disk drive mode.

[Android Software Development] ste1164:
Make sure you have installed then uninstalled HTC Sync for the USB drivers, also make sure your phone has USB debugging enabled.

This could do with a boost to the new hboot for the 2.3 Desire ruu, if possible :)
[Android Software Development] AntonJart:
Are there any chances to get this working on the Glacier 2.3.4 update? I see that old gfree is not working anymore (
[Android Software Development] B. East:
would this program work on a mac? and would it work on the desire hd latest build some time in the future?

Would like to root my phone, but have searched most forums but cannot seam to find a method that is specific to using a mac for the whole process ie. downgrading, S-off, and flashing.
[Android Software Development] mrobo:
Can I run it on windows 7?
[Android Software Development] YOSEFE:
Yes you can. I ran mine on windows 7 64bit. You will be fine even on 32bit.
[Android Software Development] texmaxx:
Quick and easy! Perfect work! Thanks!
[Android Software Development] syncopy:
I have a rooted desire and already running a custom ROM with no issues.

This is my only query:

Can I run this *just* to achieve S-OFF? If yes, do I lose any data?

P.S I do know that you can achieve "S-off" using alpharev. So, just asking basically.

Does this work on rooted and NON-S-OFFed phones to achieve the same?
[Android Software Development] thewillb:
no good on dinc2 :(
[Android Software Development] Theonew:
If you have any of these HBOOTs: HTC Desire (bravo) 0.93.0001 or HTC Desire CDMA (bravoc) 1.06.0000, then yes you can run it to achieve S-OFF and no you won't lose any data. It should work on rooted, S-ON devices because it is just the security flag it's gonna turn off.
[Android Software Development] Sharro:
For the time being I have no time to try it as the 2 x Incredible S are in my coleague's hands.

But to whom should I donate ? Unrevoked or AlphaRev X ? Do you have a "gathering" donation ?

All the best,

Sharro
[Android Software Development] syncopy:
Yes, the HBOOT version on my phone is 0.93.0001. Thanks for the heads-up.
[Android Software Development] Kamal_halder:

[Android Software Development] jrm422:
agreed! i had a bunch of lowercase Ls and i wasn't sure if they were 1s or what.
[Android Software Development] madffrogs:
Had a lot of invalid beta keys on this, entered the key varies ways, changed noughts to O's and back changed the capitals and what not, kept getting

invalid beta key, eventually got a result with copy and paste, googled how to copy and paste into cmd and bobs your uncle it worked staight away.

Not sure what changed with the copy and paste as everything was the same

but until I did the c&p, I kept getting invalid key.

So now I'm S -off yeah.:)

I found it very quick and easy to use, wish I'd done it sooner, loved the Portal 2 reference also :cool:

Many thanks to the Devs and everyone behind this, I really appreciate the time and effort put in :D
[Android Software Development] Humanio:
Same. Im assuming it doesnt work with gingerbread yet. :/
[Android Software Development] dastin1015:
It works with Gingerbread. There is a specific device list and specific hboots that this tool works with.

Sent from my Hero that never dies! ;D
[Android Software Development] Humanio:
Is there something I'm doing wrong then? I ran the tool, says it found my device ADR6350 (droid 2 inc) Vivow-0.97.0000, android 2.3.3

I enter the beta key, says its acquiring root method 2, then fails to get root.

Htc Drivers were installed successfully, usb debugging is on. Not sure what might be going wrong.

[Android Software Development] -Torres-:
i'm also having an issue. it started to work at first, input the beta key and it started to process (method 3) then after a little bit it says it lost connection. the FAQ said to uninstall any apps that may try to connect through USB and sync anything, and i remembered i still had HTC sync on my phone. uninstalled it, then went to run revolutionary again and now it says my device is not supported. my hboot version doesn't match. guess i'm SOL for now?
[Android Software Development] Kamal_halder:
Thanks You all Great Men Developed this fantastic Application I was able to S Off My device and Installed a Custom Rom ... I. Has to follow those 2nd Post in order to get a temp root then only it was. Possible to use the app provided.
[Android Software Development] IzaacJ:
Hello. Got an advice for you guys. It would be awesome if you could include supported versions of Android.

My gf has an IncS with HBOOT 1.13 and Android 2.3.3 and it is not working on it since there is no temp or permanent root for it. And I guess that there are a few people who has tried this on their devices.
[Android Software Development] mft39:
It helped to remove HTCDriver Installer and method 1 worked well for me. Just couldn't download new recovery 'cause Windows prompted me to close application and when i was trying to run it again it told me that my device is already S-OFF and offered me to Abort ...
[Android Software Development] emm_stra:
i own a sensation device

if i use this revolutionary tool to s-off, recovery and root, is it possible to s-on later? (e.g. to give my phone to htc service to be in warranty)

If i just use the ruuxxxxxx.exe for my device to put the official rom , the phone will be s-on again? or is there any other way?

and wht about official OTA updates? how is going to be achieved?
[Android Software Development] rmg2:
0.4pre1 version is out!!!!

Anyone had try the new tool with 1.02.0001 hboot for desire?

- Added support for more devices and expanded/improved support for existing
[Android Software Development] radiotrib:
Worked for me OK but ...

I had a rooted desire that was rooted when 0.83.001 was still the hboot version, so I never had access to the 0.93.001 OTA upgrade.

As a result, Revolutionary refused my device, so heres what I did:

I used downgrade23 to bring my Android back to factory,locked status,

then ran the official OTA upgrade, and

then S-OFFed with Revolutionary.

All went as clean as a whistle, and I'm now running CoolSensation v6a so I can play with Gingerbread and Sense 3.0. Thanks guys.
[Android Software Development] Tekn010933:
Where is the Donation Button or can someone point me to a link please?
[Android Software Development] emm_stra:

[Android Software Development] Dave2582:

I believe if you just use RUU, you will still be S-OFF. Read the above thread.

How to root Desire-S?

Hi guys,

with Revolutionary, I managed to s-off my Desire-S. Worked great. However, I have been unsuccessful in gaining root. Tested gingerbreak, superoneclick and to flash su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip. Nothing worked.

Maybe I'm just too stupid: How do I go ahead and exactly use that su zip file anyway?

Thanks and best regards

Patrick
[Android Software Development] Patrick-Mav:
Figured out how to root

to anwer my own question: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14693680

I used the cwm recovery from that thread and su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (check http://revolutionary.io/). This worked despite me having done the OTA update a couple weeks back (hboot0002 and Software 1.47.401.4).

I am now happily s-offed and rooted. :cool:

Hello,

I tried to s-off & root a Sensation, but everytime I tried, it stops here

(no root on the phone after that)

revolutionary reboots the bootloader, but says directly "Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted", whitout give the phone enough time to reboot ...

oh, and I tried on 2 different PCs, one on XP and the other one with Seven.

No HTC sync installed, and I installed the HTC drivers.

any idea ?

thanks
[Android Software Development] Tekn010933:
This happend to me on a Epic, but it was the factory usb cable, factory cables suck! I am now using htc evo 4G on an epic since I have both. T

This for sure I know, sometimes a cable will show "charging" but it doesnt transmitt data.

Your usb debugging enabled?

virus and htc sync disabled?

Options redownload the revolutionary root.exe file, it might be just a corrupted download.

[Android Software Development] remizik:
I did not checked after the 4th time, I gave back the phone to my friend (it's not mine), but it worked ! this morning he told me that he has the "revolutionary" & S-OFF on the top of the HBoot screen :D

That's pretty weird, looks like the workaround is to do it 4 times :confused: :p

Just to answer you :

Your usb debugging enabled? yes

virus and htc sync disabled? yes & no htc sync installed

official HTC cable (working fine, I use it to root/flash desires every week :D)

[Android Software Development] vszulc:
Hey guys,

I've rooted two or three HTC phones so far with your excellent tool, so thanks a lot!

Just wanted to ask a quick question... I recently updated my Evo3D, and the update included a new bootloader... 1.49.0018.

AFAIK revolutionary isn't compatible with that one, so any plans on updating to Revolutionary to support the new bootloaders? If so, what's the approximate timeline? Just roughly, weeks or months?

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it!

I realize there must be a lot of device support requests, but we over in the HTC Vivid forum are trying to find a way to unlock HBOOT, and I was wondering if Revolutionary might be compatible, or if I might be able to get some info on how we might make it compatible. I'd be more than happy to help with any actual development and testing!

0.80 HBOOT --> Revolutionary compatible HBOOT

First of all, thank you for your hard work and the contribution you make to the community.

Now, as the subjects says, I am a bit confused on how to upgrade my HBOOT to a Revolutionary compatible one.

TL;DR: I have 0.80 and I want to upgrade it. How can I do that?

Not working at new T-Mobile Desire

Hello,

I got a new (refreshed) Desire with HBOOT 093.001 from T-Mobile. At this device AlphaRev, Unrevoked and Revolutionary are not working. After downgrading to Hboot 0.80 (without branding) with old downgrade script I can use Fakeflash utility, but only flash signed firmware or signed packages.

It seems, I can't disable signature checkiing now.

A goldcard is in the phone.
