The currect way

I Have HTC Desire S with original Rom 2.10.401.8 and HBOOT 2.00.0002 S-On

My goal is to install the Endymon

I read many thread and i understood that the curret way to do this is:

Downgrade My ROM from 2.3.5 ( 2.10.401.8 with HBOOT 2.00.0002) to a ROM 2.3.3 with HBOOT 0.98.00000 (Ex: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe)

To do this i need to follow the steps from 1 to 7 of this

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20535265&postcount=26

Now i need to change HBOOT, Change Recovery and Root the phone. To do this i need to use Revolutionary tool for Windows from http://revolutionary.io/ and follow the istruction.

Now i can download the custom Rom and install using this way:

Is It right?

Thanks

Hello, I just want to share my experience on how i managed to S-OFF my phone. My main problem was that I had the latest ruu on 2.10.401.8 and couldnt downgrade. Even though i unlocked the bootloader using the htcdev .bin file I couldnt install the proper recovery (clockwork mod) nor a previous ruu. So here is what I did.

I first unlocked the phone using the htcdev.

Then I followed those pretty 7 steps mentioned on prev post.

and changed my version to a prev one.

I r e l o c k e d my phone using htc supertool and

clicked my 1.47 ruu exe file. That worked and it downgraded my phone.

After that it was a piece of cake to use the revolutionary tool to S-OFF.

Thanks all the xda community for the infos i got and managed to do it....

cheers

Sarina,

No need to wipe dalvik cache?

bcoz few ROM's developers days it a must!!!!

I trying to flash CM7.1 stable version.
[HTC Desire S] pandollar:
Many thanks for this it has helped me get S-off again after a very frustrating weekend.
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
Firstly, you will have to install your phone's drivers from htc sync, after thats done, uninstall it.

Secondly, go to htcdev.com and do the bootloader unlock process. Its easy to do so you might not bump into any issues.

Thirdly, during the process, you will have the android folder containing fastboot.exe. (Best put at c:\ drive)

Next, get clockworkmod recovery at clockworkmod.com (Find the one for your incredible s).

Now boot your phone into bootloader and select fastboot, and then connect into your pc. Open the cmd and type:

cd c:\android

fastboot flash recovery <path to img file>\recovery.img

(might wanna change the name of the img file for shorter typing).

Now grab a custom rom (like nik's trinity rom), put into the root of your sdcard and boot into recovery. Select install zip to sdcard, choose zip from sdcard and select the rom. (High chance for not having problems to do a full wipe and clear dalvik cache. Do a backup of your current rom via recovery at backup and restore > backup).

Now reboot back to bootloader and select fastboot. Get the rom that you downloaded earlier on, unzip and grab the boot.img file.

Connect phone to pc, open cmd and type:

fastboot flash boot <path to img file>\boot.img

And now you're good to go ^^

P.S. Clear dalvik cache again after finishing the flashing process. About root access, every custom roms will have superuser, so no worries.

Thanks to Lynt for this amazing guide. So I've created a straight forward version of it.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You can modify the title to include both HBOOT 1.16 and 2.00 as this procedure will also work for the latest OTA update.
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
Ok. Thanks for the info.
[HTC Incredible S] anonymousss:
Can u please tell me how to flash android revolution hd Rom on my incredible s, its still unrooted and s-on and hboot is at 2.00 and I don't know how to do the clockwerkmod task.

I am a little noob at this. And do I need to root it and make security off before flashing or not?

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

And how to wipe data as you mentioned in the p.s. ?

And when to do it?

Things like this could cause people like me to jump ship for a company whose devices I'd never really considered buying before.

Why?

They not only acknowledge that people like me exist, they actually CATER TO US!
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Wow...that's awesome. Stuff like that will definitely be factored in when I buy my next phone.

The way HTC has become.. I'm certain that I currently own my last device made by them. Sad too
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
too bad SonyEricsson doesn't unlock CDMA phones....and the fact ive never much liked any one of their phones really. least not compared to the HTC motorola Samsung ones.

could it be they have a less market share and thats why they are able to pull this off without many complaints.

Still though i dunno why itd be so bad for the companies to be more open and offer it out to devs out here to test. if anything they will get better feedback and provide a better product in the end to the regular non rooted users out there.
[HTC EVO 3D] alexnaoumi:
haweui and samsung have done this also
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
I'm more mad that THIS has happened already for the GS2!

Man i miss Sniper's blog. Its times like these that it was soooo valuable as he always had the leaks out before anyone else on there. Sucks its gone, and seems gone forever at this point.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Oh really? I didn't know that..damn
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
hell i didn't know they even unlocked phones till i went to the site itself and it stated at the bottom CDMA phones not supported.

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

Now back to the GS2 leak of ICS. WTF, can't believe they left their boring launcher on there. why would you do that? what feature's does TouchWiz have that ICS doesn't? (i have no clue here as i never owned a touchwiz phone)

I wont be happy but could understand if HTC leaves its Rosie in place but least its not so dang boring and vanilla like the touchwiz one is.
[HTC EVO 3D] cheddaface:
Htc needs to hurry up i need me some ics
[HTC EVO 3D] Bowdowntozoltan:
I like how everyone is so concerned about ics. It was the same way when gingerbread came out, countless threads from idiots wondering where the latest version of android is just so they can tell they're friends they have it.

Be patient. And yeah its a bigass company, they don't give a **** about the little guy. Got to wait it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Yeah but ICS actually adds a lot of useful features that most people would definitely want to use. I can't wait for stuff like the new UI, face unlock, disable and re-enable apps, smoother preformance, etc. etc. in CM9 when it is released.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
first take that "idiot" comment and shove it.

If you knew wtf you were talking about you'd understand ICS is NOTHING like GB update was. the GB update was mainly some under the hood stuff. ICS is a giant change in terms of the OS steps we've been taking.

And the point you say they dont care about the little guy? umm they cared when we demanded unlocked bootloaders....

take the negative ish outa here bud
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
I think I'm done with HTC too. The locking down of the Evo 3D just ruined it for me.

I'll probably go with a Samsung next. Or maybe Motorola, depending on what Google does with them.
[HTC EVO 3D] XDAuser1919:
they unlocked the bootloader, maybe you missed that...
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Still no s-off. So flashing a ROM is cumbersome, requires you to do it from a computer, and no flashing radios. Not only that, but you have to register with them and void your warranty.

Not the type of company I want to commit to going forward.
[HTC EVO 3D] maek_it_happen:
I'm watching Motorola closely .....but it would be great to get a sense 4.0 Ics update
[HTC EVO 3D] Redfro1979:
"You must unlock your phone using Sony Ericsson’s Unlock boot loader service, and agree to all the legal and warranty conditions that apply. Please note that you may void the warranty of your phone and/or any warranty from your operator if you unlock the boot loader of your phone. Sony Ericsson can then no longer guarantee the full functionality of your phone, and will not be responsible... Also, if you unlock the boot loader, you will not be able to download and install the final Ice Cream Sandwich software upgrade from Sony Ericsson. For additional information on limitations and warranty, please see the Sony Ericsson Unlock boot loader service."

-so they ask devs to test this and then say they cannot download the final version!? If that is what they are saying that is lame.
[HTC EVO 3D] healer82:
the only reason Sony is doing that with ics is because they took a lot of flak over they way they handled the x10. They really screwed a lot of people over so in reality you don't want HTC to be more like sony.

Trust me, my previous phone was an x10 and after that mess I will never consider one of their phones again.

Ics will come I don't understand why everyone is in such a rush. If you want upgrades quick then buy a nexus.

Every company has its faults but most people don't realize it until after they buy the device.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
The same reason HTC will leave sense on it even though they shouldn't
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Least Sense's launcher is somewhat different. Touch Wiz Rosie looked so boring and more android vanilla. Which is why if it was like that i can't see why not just have the ICS rosie instead.

I can't seem to find any root information on bell atrix 2.3.6 either.

I've got super one click working but superuser keeps denying all my root permissions without giving me a prompt.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpyper2010:
DANGER!

So I tried SuperOneClick 2.3.1 and got my Bell Atrix 2.3.6 rooted.... all seemed good and Root Checker told me I was rooted. Light Flow got Super User permission and I thought I was gold!

Then my phone started freezing up and rebooting. Now I can't use the phone because it is crashing every 30 seconds. I would say avoid SuperOneClick (at least this version) for now!!

Oh, and SuperOneClick won't unroot my device so I'm kind of stuck. I would rather not reset my device and have to reinstall all my apps (which are backed up with Titanium Back-up, but which of course needs root to work...).

I'm just trying GingerBreak to unroot so we'll see how that goes.....

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallyg8r:
I tried wit Pete's first and it failed but super one click worked right from the first attempt. Before doing that though, I did a factory reset and started from scratch. Then I restored my apps only with TB. All is OK except that in market my apps list is empty with a message saying that my purchased apps will appear here. I have read that it is a known problem, but not necessarily with this update or because of rooting. In my experience super one click has otherwise been OK. Hope that helps. Don't have a solution for you except maybe trying to do a factory reset first if you are able to and then try again.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpyper2010:
Hey thanks. Yes, I ended up having to do a reset from the boot menu (power+vol down) and do an 'Android Recovery' which apparently wipes the system files and reinstalls the OS. My TB backups are still sitting on the internal SD but I am hesitant to re-root so I can reinstall TB and restore... what build of SuperOneClick did you use?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superkev:
I tried with SuperOneClick 2.3.1.0 (latest). It says that it worked, but even after rebooting, my apps are being denied root access.

UPDATE:

I tried the manual instructions from here: http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root

Step 6 failed for me, possibly because I had used this method to root 2.3.4. The rest of it went perfectly. I think the 2.3.6 update changed the permissions of the su binary, so these instructions just reset that to what they're supposed to be. I am rooted again!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colesy56:
I just updated to 2.3.6 and used the Briefmobile method to root and can also confirm that it is working. I had previously used this method to do 2.3.4 and had no issues on 2.3.6. Cheers
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] das8nt:
I might caution those who are not on AT&T about using the "manual" root method from BriefMobile. It was built with AT&T 2.3.4 files. Flashing the root.img in fastboot flashes those files to your /preinstall folder possibly hosing your Bell specific files. This has in the past, and possibly could in the future cause issues when trying to install future updates.

For those of you who have done it, can you look in /preinstall/md5 and see if you have att files?

superoneclick 2.3.1.0

this works flawlessly and on first attempt. so easy!

gingerbreak 1.2 didn't work this time, but it was useful to me for unrooting.

just make sure you do that before installing the update, and follow the superoneclick instructions.

too early to comment on battery life, and other than the keyboard I don't notice any aesthetic changes.

That directory does contain some ATT and Cingular files. However, I used this method to root 2.3.4 and it didn't prevent me from installing the 2.3.6 update. I'm hoping I won't have any trouble going to ICS (fingers crossed that such a thing will even happen!)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] das8nt:
Good deal. I had to help a few revert that folder when updating from 2.2.2 to 2.3.4 due to missing the gameloft stuff, but if it didn't effect your update that's good news.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitebreadstyle:
that's weird. you definitely don't need internet access to perform the root (i was offline), provided you have superoneclick and phone drivers installed i'd say. does the driver check feature complain about it too?

Yeah, i thought it was strange too. It doesn't give me that error with the driver check, only when it is going through the install process of the exe.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatastamoutrasas:
So, this is what has happened so far:

I googled for a small and easy to follow guide to unlock my phone so that I can later on install a custom rom. I followed the steps provided here:

http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/

What I didn't notice on the first place was the "UPDATE: DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE INSTEAD Please see new root method which works on all Nexus S and Nexus S 4G!" link. Don't ask why - really don't know.

The result was having my Nexus S stuck on a screen that shows Google logo on the middle and an unlocked padlock on the bottom.

It seemed, or to be exact, I figured out that, the problem was the .img file mentioned on some point in the middle of this.. tutorial.

So, I decided to follow the newer guide that can be found here:

http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-new/

Although all went well (didn't have to go all over the same processes up to the .img installatin point), I ended up with the same screen that shows Google logo on the middle and an unlocked padlock on the bottom.

I figured out that I could just install a rom at this point, and decided that I should go back to stock. So, I followed this guide here:

http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-unroot-nexus-s-i9020ti9020ai9023/

But, when I choose to install the .zip file, I get this error:

assert failed: "getprop ("ro.product.device") == "crespo" || "getprop ("ro.product.device") == "crespo"

E: Error in /sdcard/i9020t_i9023.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborded

..let me add to this point that I have bought my Nexus S from EU, it is an i9023. Let me also add that all I wanted is to flash an ICS rom and I think I have ended with a f****d device I don't know what to do with!

Any help, really, would be so much appreciated since I need to use this phone. I have a backup for calls etc but I need some smartphone features!
