Hey guys, just had a couple noob questions:

1) I understand that this will wipe data/cache/app partitions, but does this process also wipe sdcard (dcim, music, etc...)?

2) Does rooting the stock ROM stop over the air updates?

Thanks guys, I would greatly appreciate if someone can just shoot a quick answer. Thanks again!
[HTC One S] :
Hey CSP--

if you are getting ready to unlock, it will wipe all but sdcard--backup first anyway

i don't think you will receive OTA's, but you need to unlock to safely install them anyway. there are threads on it

i am running LeeDroid 2.1, 1.78 baseband and see no reason to worry about OTA's as like our N1 the devs have this stuff out before the Carriers do--
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
Thank you so much! I wasn't thinking straight lol. I would love to get the stock ROM off as there is so much bloat ware! Thanks again for straightening it up, cant wait to get back to root!
[HTC One S] :
sorry CSP, I meant to say relock before installing an OTA

just watch the OP pages on flashing instructions

it is a little more tricky with the different basebands and EU roms than the N1

some roms require fastbooting the boot.img first, then the rom

i have read almost all the rom threads and info/wiki threads front to back, just to be safe--but, I am OCD--:)

I'm having trouble on step 2 of this guide...every time I try to fastboot flash on cmd it gives me the error message "unknown partition" & "error: cannot determine image filename for "recovery.img"

what am I doing wrong?

edit: solved!!
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
My bad, had wrong login, please ignore :D
[HTC One S] :
what exactly are you typing at command prompt

you need to have usb debugging checked on phone

you need the recovery image in same folder as your fastboot.exe/adb files

you need to cd to that directory/folder

you need the recovery image in that same folder

you need to be booted into bootloader with fastboot highlighted

and phone plugged into pc

you have to type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

where recovery.img is the exact name of the recovery image image you put in the folder where fastboot/adb is--usually tools or platform tools of your sdk

you can check the exact name by right clicking the recovery image in the folder and going to properties. I usually just copy and paste that into the command line
[HTC One S] GoreTan:
i solved it! i was missing the command fastboot flash "recovery" keyword before the recovery name! :D im dumb! lol thanks though
[HTC One S] :
glad you got

guess I typed a lot more than I needed to

but may help some one else--:)

Hello.

A rapid question only.....

Is there possible the inverse process of Unlock Hboot?

That is to say, to put the Hboot ' Lock '. Does it do across Htcdevs?

How would it be?

It is the only thing that is around my head, at the time of beginning.:D

Thank you, in advance.

Greetings.

Works perfekt!

Works perfekt,﻿ this tutorial is good! Now I can install apps which needs root!

I completed it with HTC ONE S, Android-Version 4.0.3, HTC-Sense Vers 4.0, Software-Number 1.78.401.2

My german translation of this tutorial: mediafire.com/?z0em0njz5n9aih4
[HTC One S] elbee222:
The command is: fastboot oem lock

Hboot will be "relocked" but it will not display the same message that existed before it was unlocked. In other words, the message will be "relocked" not "locked." To unlock again, I'd go through the htcdev process over again. (From what I've read, I would advise against using the same unlock_code.bin file that you got when you unlocked hboot the first time.)
[HTC One S] alkasteve:
I'm probably being very thick here - but I'm having problems getting recovery to boot. I've unlocked the boot loader and flashed the CWM with fastboot and thats seems to run fine. If I then select the recovery option I get the HTC message "This build is for development purposes only...." and nothing else. For example I can't do step 3 and flash SuperSU because I can't get any of the CWM options up. Any clues where I've gone wrong?

(Just moved from a Galaxy S so i'm still getting my head round the different way of flashing things)
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Use fastboot or adb to reboot recovery, If it still fails to boot, Reflash it.
[HTC One S] alkasteve:
I've definately reflashed it a few times and that didn't help - I'll try tonight and see if rebooting into recovery will work or not, thanks anyway.
[HTC One S] alkasteve:
Got a chance to try fastboot and adb and rebooting into recovery on both doesn't make any difference

[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:

Get that tool here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604677

I have to say I got a little freaked out when it kept rebooting but after the third time it was all good, just got the phone today and so far so good. everything worked out great so thanks for the listing.

On a side note the T-Mobile rep did say the Galaxy Note is coming June 12th and the SGS3 is July 18th confirmed. I figure these will be the last three devices I pick up for a long time but hell I'm siked this one works so well.

Thanks again man.
[HTC One S] Serious_Beans:
How the hell can I boot into recovery? I flashed it like 10 times and I keep clicking "recovery" from bootloader and it says "this is for development purposes only blah blah blah" and then it just boots into the phone. Can someone help? THANKS
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
reflash the recovery.img

use adb to boot into recovery. Chances are the recovery didnt flash successfully, This has happened to me a few times
[HTC One S] rpachecoh:
I have changed to superCID, I've downloaded the official Europe_HTC RUUs (1.53 and 1.78), installed the stock recovery and relocked the bootloader. Once I did all this, I unlocked it again, installed recovery, backed up the rom and test some other things. Now I've reflashed the latest version, 1.78, I can't unlock the bootloader again, and I don't know why. It says ok, but when I go back to the bootloader it says relocked.

Any help?

Thanks
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
You need a new unlock token from HTC dev after changing CID :)
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
sure this isn't exactly the same issue described by @vega89xi at the SuperCID thread?

It sounds like the same issue and there is no solution yet i have heard of.

Hi

Just moved from xperia arc and I'm try to get to terms with HTC forum

So on the arc ota updates were a no go after unlocking the bl as it would brick phone ,is it the same here?

Will ota updates brick my nice new phone (rooted,bl unlocked and cwm installed)?

Appreciate any help .

Thanks
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
OTA updates will not even proceed with the installation if you are unlocked/rooted.
[HTC One S] pushtostop:
Excellent thanks for your quick reply.
[HTC One S] KazeMurasaki:
I'm stuck with the HTC and "This build is..." after trying to install CWM, but I can't seem to push anything now. I managed to install the Interim recovery using the aio-toolkit, but then when I try to push the rom.zip I get an error in cmd saying 'protocol failure'. The file tho appears in the 'choose file from sd', but when I try to flash it I get this: Finding update package... Opening update package... E: Can't open /sdcard/rom_name.zip (bad) Installation aborted.

Edit:

SOLVED

Mounting and unmounting the sdcard a few times did the trick. I managed to successfully adb push miui with no errors. And a little tip, in my case only the modaco recovery seemed to work, I also tried the newest CWM that comes with the All-In-One Toolkit 1.1, but I couldn't boot into recovery.
[HTC One S] Kaotika:
Do all the rooting methods at minimum do a factory reset, or is it possible to root stock ROM without any resets or some such? (I have unlocked the bootloader at htcdev, so that reset has been done already)
[HTC One S] jntdroid:
Every time I've done it, I've had to flash recovery twice. The first time, I flash it, attempt to boot into it, and the phone boots up. I reboot into the bootloader, flash it again, and it goes into recovery fine. Typically, the second time around, hboot says "tampered" and that red message you referenced comes up - but it still goes into recovery. For what it's worth, I've only ever flashed CWM 5.8.3.1 (non-touch). I think the key is making sure you flash it that second time, instead of just continuing to attempt to get into recovery.

As of now, the only way to root is to unlock the bootloader. So, essentially, the answer to your question is yes, b/c when you unlock the bootloader, it wipes the phone like a factory reset. However, rooting itself (flashing custom recovery then flashing the .zip) doesn't wipe anything - so in your case, since you already unlocked, it shouldn't wipe anything.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

Actually they should (keyword being "should" :rolleyes:), as long as you flash the stock recovery back on there before you try and install the OTA, and as long as you haven't removed any system apps, files, etc.

[HTC One S] petersm:
Hi guys, I have a n00b question. I'm new to android rooting, have always had a HD2 with android (CWM + HSPL) which worked fine.

I rooted my brand new One S sucesfully last week, following the steps in the OP. I still have stock rom, just wanted to have a rooted device. Therefore I unlocked the bootloader. But now I seem to be unable to download OTA. I used the search button and I found that I had to return to stock in order to install OTA. But I’m not quite confident what to do:

Do I only have to relock the bootloader? Or do I also have to unroot the device? How do I do that? I'd rather not loose my apps, messages etc. Is there a way to unroot/relock, install OTA and then unlock/root again, without having to install apps etc. again?

If somebody could explain the steps (If possible in detail because I’m new to android modding) then I would be very grateful!

Thanks!

P.S: I am living in Holland and my Carrier is Vodafone.
[HTC One S] :
Since you are already rooted, flash a custom recovery like cwm or twrp and do a nandroid backup. Then relock and install stock recovery--there are threads on this, I have not done it. Rooted first day I got phone and started running custom roms. No need to unroot, OTA may do that anyway--that's how I remember reading it.

There are exact steps back thru this thread--this is just the basics I remember reading about

Then you can unlock, root, flash custom recovery and restore your nandroid.

I will say some have had trouble re-unlocking. So, I would flash cwm recovery and one of the custom roms for EU that has the update and some additional features.

No matter what you do, I would flash cwm at minimum, nandroid and copy nandroid/sdcard to pc
[HTC One S] baseballfanz:
I didn't relock the bootloader,

I only fastboot flash the stock recovery, ota update and fastboot flash twrp recovery again.

Try OTA Rootkeeper to save root as I did loose root after the OTA update and had to root again.

I am sorry but I can't seem to find any helpful answer, the manual adb reboot recovery, gets me the same result... Please give me a hint.

I think most these issues are incorrect initial setup or wrong commands

Go back and make sure you are unlocked and have all drivers installed and can type adb devices and fastboot devices and get the phone recognized in the command window

then reflash the recovery, cwm latest version, correct command line
[HTC One S] qzem:
The phone was recognized, and everything was successful but I think that it is the problem that I have S3 version of the phone, and this recover is for S4, is this correct? Where can I get the correct recovery, if even exists? Or how to root my phone?

Any ROM? Including the CM and MIUI? Also, I've been doing a little bit of research and it says that I have to flash a kernel through hboot/fastboot, is this true?

How would I go about it?

Flash ROM, then reboot into the system, then reboot to bootloader, and then flash the kernel?
[HTC One S] :
yes, all the roms will work--read the Op pages carefully and scan first/last 20 pages of thread

if you are using twrp recovery, no need to flash kernel/boot image separate--just wipe all including system thru recovery

if using clockwork recovery fastboot kernel first thru command window fastboot flash boot boot.img where boot.img is exact name of the boot image. you will need to download the kernel to pc then extract the boot image to your fastboot.exe folder, normally in tools under your sdk/android folder

once you fastboot it reboot into bootloader then boot into recovery from phone screen and wipe all and flash rom

I'm on the rooting part 3. I turn off phone; load into recover, and it shows a picture of my phone with a red exclamation point and I am unable to install CWN-SuperSU-v0.87.zip...any help would be appreciated. Maybe I am missing something? I have debugged mode on and fastboot off.

Thanks
