I wouldn't suggest doing that. That would create a hybrid MBR. When a hybrid MBR disk is read using MBR, only the first four partitions can be visible (after redefining the partition table in LBA0). If the disk is read using GPT, all the partitions will be visible. I don't know if Android and Linux prefer MBR over GPT, but if they do, you might lose access to partitions 5-8.

By the way, the '/mbr' option is for the diskpart tool from MSDOS and Windows :)

You're absolutely right. I had forgotten about this. Do you happen to know if those mmcblk0p# partitions are visible when the tablet is plugged into a Linux computer? If so, GPT fdisk can restore the partition table and GPT header from the backup GPT.

You would run something like this to restore the backup GPT:

EDIT: I found a version of gdisk compiled for Android by meghd00t (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24805392&postcount=74). You may be able to restore the backup GPT directly from the tablet :)

Thanks Chen, i plan to try the gptfdisk tonight when I get home from work and can post the result.

One thing i'm not sure about is access mmcblk0 from linux - does this mean I can access the internal mmcblk0 of the tf201 directly through a linux device? Right now I access mmcblk0 solely through adb shell to CWM recovery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chenxiaolong:
No problem :) There's also an option to backup the GPT header and partition table to file. I'd suggest doing that just in case anything goes wrong.

I'm not entirely sure if the internal memory can be accessed directly from Linux. But from what I've been reading in the forums today, it seems that it might not possible (I'm pretty new to Android).

Hopefully gptfdisk will work via adb shell :)

Hi All,

I would post this in the One Click Unlock thread, but I still need more posts (kind of a n00b here)

I used CID Getter to see if it worked, but mine still reads: 'CWS__001'. Is there a better method for checking CID, or is CID Getter accurate?

Here's the log from cmd below. It appears that it worked, although it did have an error with 'unlock_code.bin', but I'm assuming this is just because I don't have the .bin from HTCDev yet. Anyone seen this issue?

Once you are in bootloader mode, press any key to dump the cid and unlock token.

In order to get the unlock .bin file, don't we have to have super CID in the first place? And, then go to the HTCdev website to get the unlock .bin?

[Thunderbolt General] Nanashi1231:
Hey guys, my girlfriend's in need of some help. Her TBolt (stock) is having issues that haven't resolved (rather, they've gotten worse) after the recent OTA update, such as apps closing when going from portrait to landscape, random sms deletion, force-restarts of the phone, and general lag/screen un-responsiveness. She's got an update available in October, as well as replacement insurance. I'm encouraging her to root, but she's worried that won't solve anything and then she'll be without a way to get the phone replaced if things go wrong. Has anyone who was having these issues recently rooted and found that it fixed them? Thanks for your input.
[Thunderbolt General] Slack3r:
I had a lot of problems with the first OTA released, I just downloaded the full image of it and reflashed from the SD card, all of my issues went away. I did this to make sure I didn't have a lemon before I went ahead and rooted it. You'll lose all application data of course, and AFAIK this doesn't void your warranty.

[HTC One S] eminembdg:
I came from a T-Mobile vibrant. With those phones flashing a Rom meant simply going into recovery and flashing a zip file.

Now being on an HTC all I see with ROMs is having to push an IMG file. No simple process of just flashing a zip file from recovery

Is this because we don't have S-OFF yet? Or is this just an HTC thing?

[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
I don't know of any roms on here that need to be pushed to flash.

You may, if mentioned, need to fastboot (or run a dev executable) to install boot.img. Mainly if going to a 1.78 baseband. That has to do with s-off, but also some devs change the boot/ramdisk for their roms. Just need to be sure you have right rom version for US TMO--and do the usual nandroids

The RUU is differnet and is flashed from pc, not pushed

Reduces or eliminates a lot of heartache--

A lot of people never figured that out on my old N1 Forums--

I see here people are a lot better at reading OP and posts prior, but maybe because Forum is relatively new and threads don't have 1 to 2k+ posts yet--
[HTC One S] eminembdg:
Maybe that's the reason. It is a pain trying to find answers in threads that are like hundreds of pages long.

A good OP is someone that if there's new found answers in the thread like hundred pages in, they'll update the OP with that information. That way you aren't trying to skim thru backwards from someone's post saying "I answered that a few pages ago". Then you have to work backwards trying to find it

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] freshleysnipes:
I've noticed on a handful of threads here, people are wondering about locking your bootloader again to upgrade to the 1.85 RUU so I figured I'd post a little guide on how I did it.

If you're reading this I'm going to assume you are already on 1.82 with your bootloader unlocked. I will tell you how to relock it, upgrade, and unlock it again.

Just to make things simple, open the folder where you downloaded the tools to unlock your bootloader, and copy the adb.exe AdbWinApi.dll fastboot.exe and your Unlock_code.bin to C:\Android

First to Relock your device, you will want to boot into your bootloader and select fastboot. After you've selected fastboot plug your device into your pc and open a command prompt. You'll want to type 'cd C:\Android' and then 'fastboot oem lock' and your phone will restart with a locked bootloader. Now you can upgrade to the 1.85 RUU without any issues. Download 1.85 here: http://d-h.st/bS4 (thanks to kennethpenn)

Once you've finished upgrading to 1.85 you will want to boot into your bootloader again, with your device unplugged, and select fastboot. THEN plug your device in and run your command prompt again on your PC. Again, cd to C:\Android and type in the following command to unlock your bootloader again: 'fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin' (I've heard reports of some people having to type this command two or three times for it to work but it went the first time for me)

Now once you've finished unlocking your bootloader again you can install CWM Recovery the same way you did before.

I hope this helps! (And don't forget to hit thanks if it does) :)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
For those of you having trouble, try getting into recovery mode by sending the adb command:

adb reboot bootloader

Then unplug the cord as the phone is black

It should become filled with the bootloader, and then send the unlock command.

Its worked every time on the first time for me and I've done it 3 times.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jmattp:
I just tried this twice. I'm going to just wait for jcase's root and try it again from scratch.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] waleed90:
Root will not remain. Once you upgrade to 1.85 and unlock bootloader and get cwm recovery, you will need to put this file (https://www.dropbox.com/s/z5un4z0kqye5dg0/CWM-SuperSU-v0.89.zip) anywhere in your sdcard/. Then use CWM to install it. This will give you root.

Try this: Before you type in that command use this one "fastboot devices" hit enter, then use "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin".
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
I believe some guy went up to 50 times before it worked. I'd try it out for a couple more mins.

Just type the command the first time, and then after that if it fails just hit the up arrow and hit enter again. and keep repeating that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jmattp:
It's not just like it's failing though. I have to boot the phone up, skip through the setup screens, enable USB debugging, then start all over.

I'll give it a few more tries but I just don't see the logic in doing this so many times.

I bet this phone is pretty cool once you get to use it.

works for me on 2nd attempt. thank you. now to install su and dl custom rom
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jmattp:
Holy crap it finally worked. I apologize for my nay-saying.

What I did different:

I actually turned it off instead of rebooting it with adb. I used the button combo to boot into fastboot. The first time it asked if I wanted to unlock or not. The second time it just changed to "unlocked" when I pushed the unlock code.

That was probably one of the worst ways I could have ever spent four hours.

Thanks for all of your suggestions.

I have a little bit different of an issue with the unlocked bl upgrading to RUU 1.85. I keep getting an error when doing so that says "Signature verification failed". Looking at the the ruu logs, I see that is the case from the adb commands.

Here is what I have done. I am finally to the point of asking for some advice on this.

1. Stock 1.73, obtained root, unlocked bootloader through one-click method, obtaining superCID (verified it was such through fastboot)

2. Installed CWM

3. relocked phone via fastboot command (verified hboot said "relocked")

4. Tried to update via RUU, no dice

5. Went ahead and reunlocked, pulled the recovery image out of the 1.73 package, pushed that to phone, relocked, tried again, nothing

6. Tried to upgrade to 1.73 just in case, same error

7. Set CID back to CWS__01 just in case that was causing me some problems.

Same issues all around. I have been told by Scott that all my version numbers on an untouched device match mine.

I am trying to push the RUU from Windows XP running inside vmware fusion on my mac.
