HBOOT 2.15

I have an international version S4. rooted. custom kernel.

My HBOOT is 2.15.

Will this method work with my HBOOT? is there anything i should keep in mind?
[HTC One S] Cero92:
1- Is your phone rooted?

2- It can't change, if it changes you're writing some more characters (or some less).

Has anyone tried to change their imei number while they're in there?
[HTC One S] rootrider:
After changing from T-MOB101 to 11111111 I can confirm that you can flash a different RUU.

I flashed RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258480_signed.exe

over RUU_Ville_U_TMO_DE_1.77.111.5_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_259421_signed.exe

Practically my phone is no longer branded.

Now lets see if CWM works and restore my other stuff.

--- new edit ---

Use the old Unlock_code.bin. The bootloader seems to lock automatically upon reboot when using a new one. Also I'm stuck with reinstalling su atm!

--- edit ---

And don't forget to relock your bootloader before flashing a RUU. For unlocking take the new Unlock_code.bin.
[HTC One S] Stroid01:
Can you elaborate on what you mean by this? I just used the guide above and got SuperCID 11111111 , not following your post about the bootloader.

Thanks
[HTC One S] rootrider:
Sorry. These are two different things. You need to lock your bootloader before flashing a new/different RUU. This has got nothing to do with changing to SuperCID.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Its VERY difficult to Change IMEI number, Deleting it and modifying it works temporarily, But upon a reboot it will revert back.. Where the hidden folder is that makes this happen.. I dont know.

I suggest you DO NOT attempt to try this, It is ILLEGAL in many parts of the world and getting caught can leave you with VERY SERIOUS consequences. In the UK you can risk going to prison for it !!!
[HTC One S] Stroid01:
Gotcha, well can you elaborate on that as well lol
[HTC One S] dami_cool:
So did you manage you install stock ruu on no.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
It is possible. with supercid you can flash ANY RUU on ANY version of the One S.
[HTC One S] wardy:
Is it confirmed that you really need root?
[HTC One S] rootrider:
For doing what?
[HTC One S] wardy:
For changing CID this way , do you need root ?
[HTC One S] cannondale0815:
Brilliant mate -- thank you very much for pointing this out!
[HTC One S] dami_cool:
Great just changed the cid and flashed a stock rom successfully.

But dont change to supercid 11111111 as this is the developement id and wont recieve any sort of future updates, Change to htc__001. But remember replace 8 numbers with 8 and do not delete the IMei
[HTC One S] mkutsen:
Super CID->flash new radio Utility anyone?

So to get a new radio one would have to:

1.) follow the 11 step process from the OP

2.) re-lock the boodloader

3.) flash the new radio

4.) unlock the boodloader again

Is that true?

Can all of this be done without wiping data? Or even without wiping the current ROM.

I wish there was somebody who could automate the whole process like troxx, hasoon2000, or LeeDroid....
[HTC One S] rootrider:
For step 3 you still need s-off on your device. As this is not possible atm your steps should look like this:

1.) follow the 11 step process from the OP

2.) flash any RUU (as it includes a new radio).

3.) unlock your device

4.) restore su (root) with r3-ville-superboot or any other confirmed method

5.) install rom manager

6.) restore your nandroid backup

Flashing an RUU will do a factory reset on your phone but not wipe the data on your sd card. So after restoring a nandroid backup everything will be fine again and you have the new radio.

I personally didn't try any OTAs, so I can't give an advice here. And if dami_cool in post #33 is right, I'd change CID to htc__001, as an OTA won't do a factory reset on your phone. You will still get a new radio if it's included.
[HTC One S] unk2009:
This is Great, thanks
[HTC One S] dc211:
I can't remember using ADB without root. Rooting is always the first thing I do on a new device. But I like 99% sure you need root, I can't imagine doing something like this without it.

If you want to find out for yourself do step 1 & 2. If you get a # after putting in su then your good.

Sounds like a rom problem, nothing to do with cid 11111111. Which rom have you installed, on which cid?
[HTC One S] adeebulrehman:
Hi Cero,

Yes the phone is rooted, HBoot 2.15,

Another issue is I',m unable to install stock rom of Tmobile and i can only flash custom rom.

I check by unlocking and re-locking HBoot.

2. Got your point File sizing dosnt chnage if you character is 8 digit. (Check Yesterday).
[HTC One S] Cero92:
As far as i know, if you're S-ON and unlocked, you can't flash stock ROMs.

So now your only issue is about the "su" executable?

That's really strange because su is the executable that allows you to run something as root, so it should be there.

Try to run it from a terminal emulator on the phone.
[HTC One S] adeebulrehman:
Hi Cero,

Just Came to know that after OTA updates you can't change CID nor S-Off.
[HTC One S] Cero92:
This is true but it shouldn't give you errors while running su

Not Figure Out Yet
[HTC One S] cuiltheory:
What I was wondering, why not work on a vulnerability (on 2.15 hboot s-on) to take a downgrade ruu? I looked through the unbrick thread, but that seems awfully risky. I am going to brain storm on a way to undo the ota. I bought one with s-on jb update.
[HTC One S] Evil-Monkey:
Downgrade method is definitely risky. However, its successful if you properly follow the steps. I really couldn't stand not being able to flash radios so I took that leap. I knew nothing of linux. And it was actually harder (IMO) to install the ubuntu part on my pc. I tried live CD / usb but they wouldn't recognize my device. So I installed ubuntu 12.04 along side my desktop. Everything went well after that. But at this point I think that method might be the only way until an exploitat is found again.

echó en Android
[HTC One S] cuiltheory:
So, your telling me that you succesfully downgraded the bootloader from 2.15 (JB OTA) to a bootloader that allowed super cid?

If so, are there any tips or tricks that you could suggest to ensure that everything goes smoothly? Anything in that guide needs to be clarified before I get started?
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
Had anyone on 2.15 completed that successfully? I did it on 1.13 and all was well, but I've only heard of bricks using the old downgrade while on 2.15. If I remember correctly, people could not enumerate the partitions, or go any further...the device would keep resetting to quickly.

If you read through that thread, it's nothing but success until 2.15, then the thread drastically changes.

[HTC One S] Evil-Monkey:
No.

I was on 1.14 and downgraded to 1.06 when that tutorial came out.

However, if I was in your shoes I'd try it as long as you're comfortable potentially losing your device. I would definitely message that OP and see his take on the OTA 2.15 hboot but I'm definitely speculating that it will work.

If it were to work. I would suggest you install a ubuntu 12.04 lts partition on your pc. Ever since my downgrade I have converted my lap top into a linux machine. Took linux off my desktop. Its a good combo imo.

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

I remember reading all that. I will read later to see if there were any successfull 2.15 downgrades but at that time I just assumed people weren't following directions/completely understood the process. I was one of those people lol. I alsmost unplugged the phone mid process because it seemed like it wasnt taking.

It would be a break through if it was just people freaking out mid process (because its quite lenthy) and 2.15 is changeable.

echó en Android
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
The only person who I've read actually completed it was sneakyghost, but eventually his led to a brick. Whether or not It was caused by the downgrade is impossible to say, It could have been anything, Possibly something that happened during the downgrade or it could be something completely unrelated.

I guess the worst case scenario would be loss of use of the device, while it's sent off to Tecardo for Jtag. As well as a donation for his troubles.

If this is your main phone I wouldn't attempt it, but if there is somebody using the HTC one S as a second device or it's just sitting there collecting dust it would be A very helpful experiment (with risk, although there is recourse available)

If I had insurance on my phone i would wanna try it.

But I remember his SDcard bricked at one point. I also don't remember when his croaked or why but I would have to re-read all that and I'm very curious now. His devices were always stubborn and wouldn't take RUUs if not mistaken. Regardless of the eventual brick, if it was accomplished, that says that its do-able to some extent.

yo guys i know it's a noob question but a friend of mine gave me a dobut: i'm superCid (11111111) s-off hboot 1.06, can i run all the ruu i want without bick right?
[HTC One S] Evil-Monkey:
You can run RUUs compatible with your corresponding hboot. Ex. Can't run 3.16 RUU with Hboot 1.06 you would have to upgrade 2.15.

I was also on 1.06 hboot(brickdown grade) and supercid/s-off. Had to flash 2.15 so I could run 3.16 base. Didn't relock bootloader. Installed stock recovery. Ran RUU. Went back to CWM recovery. Bootloader stayed unlocked and maintained s-off and s-cid. Since then I went to 1.06 and I'm back on 2.15 just cause I wanted to be "up to date"

I heard OTAs bricks with supercid but to answer your question. Yes and no. But you might wanna look around this thread and the s-off one too for better details.

Not to run this thread off topic, but I'm a little confused. I bought this phone today for my brother (his first smartphone) via craiglist and managed to get everything working except super cid. after googling for many hours, reading through threads it sounds like for the most part we are not longer able to successfully complete this. Fine, understandable. However another forum seems to suggest I can still flash custom roms, just not through your typical way through TWRP or CWR? Is that true? I've tried flashing CM10 and other variants with no success (just hangs or bootloops) but if theres a way I can flash ROM without Super Cid that would be great. Thanks for any help.

No, no.That is not what it means, it's the procedure that is not compatible with all. Your good to go. Flash any ROM you want. Just remember, the phone is less forgiving now that you have full read write access. If you screw up a vital partition by accidentally flashing something to the wrong place, you can actually do some damage rather than just getting an error message.

Assuming that I can still use it, the thing that confuses me is what to do first. On the thread, it says you must first have supercid to s-off, but when I search youtube vids on how to supercid (the hex thing is new to me), a lot of the responses say you need to s-off first, and other ones show what to do immediately after you first unlock bootloader. So yeah it's been a year and I still haven't done anything...
[HTC One S] donverse:
Are you sure though? I've never read this before (doesn't mean it can't be the case, but I actually waited for the latest OTA update so I didn't have to take the manual update procedure... To my knowledge, there is no limitation to Facepalm...

Please somebody clear this up.

Well I would be happy to help you, but I want the before mentioned issue to be cleared before. Otherwise we might brick your phone which won't be fun at all.
[HTC One S] Flashalot:
Well there is you need super cid to use facepalm and you can't get super cid (well the lucky ones) on the jb build (3.14/hboot 2.15)

You need moonshine

Look at the ops in facepalm and moonshine

If your on 2.15 moonshine the jb build moonshine

On the ics build its facepalm
[HTC One S] donverse:
If Moonshine works for asdfasdfvful, then use it. It's probably easier.

But to Flashalot: I haven't found a single word, which says you can't use Facepalm? Sure, you would need to Unlock via HTCdev (same as moonshine probably) and obtain SuperCID but as far as I know, this works for every build.

Pro Moonshine: Easier, faster

Pro Facepalm: Works for every build, ever BUT have to obtain S-OFF

(in my mind)
[HTC One S] Flashalot:
For face palm to work you need supercid

Look back in this thread people have talked about that after they updated they could not get super cid you after you hex edited and pushed it to your phone it would still stay the same

Even with the write protection file in the Rom

trust me I had this problem after I got my replacement I even posted in here about it and I could not get super cid so thus no s-off until moonshine for

3.14/hboot 2.15
[HTC One S] donverse:
Okay, so while I do get your point, this exact method worked for

me

. I achieved SuperCID without a problem. I have not read of anyone having a problem with that, but since I'm really not into that, I might have overread that.

So we have to different points here: I took the jb OTA and then got superCID and S-OFF via facepalm while it wouldn't work for you / for other people which obvioulsy sucks.

Conclusively that doesn't make it easier for someone who is already unsure of what he is supposed to do..
