Good tool but gives error on both Root Methods when trying on HTC Desire S. I wonder, if how its a quick tool, how about flashing boot.img by tool itself. I'm new to this rooting stuff. Kind of hard to find where is boot.img and even I was able to get it from RUU from named boot_signed.img. But it need to be unpack and blah blah. So much stress really. I just want to root my phone to calibrate battery and completely disable the vibrator. Pff, its PITA.:(

I've run this twice on my Desire S and it runs fine, all steps executed, no errors come up, no pauses, says operation complete. But no root according to Root checker and Rom toolbox. No Su, no busybox installed either. Gingerbread stock.

Problems with post-unrooting/HTC update

I just used your app (HTC Quick Root) to unroot my HTC Amaze and checked "Flash HBOOT image" and also had "Insecure Boot.img" selected. It went through the process and it said that my phone was unrooted. I'm new to this and not sure what I'm doing... What do I need to do next? I tried using the Hasson app to run the "Mainver Error Fix" to then install the stock image. I cannot get it to work. When trying to install the HTC system update it still comes up with the green "X."

I just want to bring my phone back to normal. Any help would be much appreciated!

Insecure boot.img

Where do I get "Insecure boot.img" I can extract boot.img from rom zip file and flash it in fastboot but I don't know what you mean by insecure boot.img or where to get it can you tell me please

That would be a modified boot.img what device do you have? What carrier
[Android Software Development] ooofest:
Figured it would be a longshot to use this tool (nice job, btw) on an Incredible 2 at 2.3.4 level of Gingerbread. It didn't work, of course, so I'll need to go the manual route.

EDIT: Ooh and even better, since attempting to root with this tool, I can't get the Incredible 2 recognized by this system. It did boot the phone when trying the "exploit" method, but something has changed for the worse in the attempt. Eek.

Hangs at initializing popup 1.1.12

Phone:

HTC Rezound

JB S-OFF/Locked boot loader

ICS firmware/radios

JB ICS hboot

Rom:

OTA-ICS+ v1.2 ROM

Everything seemed to working as expected.

I do have adb.exe (and its dll's), and fastboot.exe

in my system PATH, (which sometimes confuses

scripts and apps who supply their own),

When I initially ran the tool, it detected the

phone correctly. I wanted to run TWCTV

app which requires unrooted.

I told it to unroot using universal exploit.

It did its thing, then rebooted phone

to system, root checker reported

unroot successful. The app worked

as expected. I then went back to

re-root and the windows app hangs

at initializing.

In an cmd.exe window 'adb devices'

finds the phone correctly.

What am I doing wrong? :confused:

[Android Software Development] T-Macgnolia:
I tried this out because I would like to make this the subject of a post I make on the XDA Recognized Contributor Blog. I installed Visual Basic Power Pack 10.0, I have USB Debugging enabled, and fastboot is disabled. I also have my adb and fastboot in my path. When I click on the HTC Quick Root I git the below window and the below text is the entire text in the text field when I click "Details", Do you think my problem has something to do with the JIT Debugging?

Edit: I decided to preview my post and as I was letting the preview load I clicked the X on the window I posted below and the UI for the tool appeared. But I so far can not get any of the reboot or the Power Down functions to work. It says "Checking Device Connection... Device Connected! Rebooting Device..." but never reboots the device, I attached a scree shot of it. I also noticed everytime I start the tool I get a window that says "Device Not Connected" in red, but it does change to "Device Connecte" in green, I added a screen shot of ths. It takes a minute or two after it finally says the device is connected before I get the first error message I posted a screen shot of so I can close the window and then the UI for the tool appears.I have not tried any other tool feature of the tool as I really have no need to,

Can i root it whit The Universal Exploit or ...

Quote OP : The Universal Exploit WILL however fail if it has been patched by HTC on the Stock ROM you are using. ???

The HC updated by OTA isn't Stock ROM?

And for switch to S-Off ?

Don't think this will root the HTC One XL ..
[Android Software Development] lyriquidperfection:
For those who have confusion, this app WILL root any HTC. If the Universal Exploit doesn't work on your device then the Insecure boot.img method will providing you have unlocked your bootloader.

And for those that's asking if the app gives S-OFF, the answer is no. This is a root tool only.
[Android Software Development] drmclove69:
This won't give us s-off but we can flash another hboot while being s-on is that correct? This will work for EVO LTE?
[Android Software Development] drcrazy91:
a bit confused.

Supposed I've s-on htc, do i need to unlock bootloader by htc first?
[Android Software Development] lyriquidperfection:
Not for Universal Exploit. Otherwise you need to unlock bootloader to be able to flash an insecure boot image to root instead.

[Android Software Development] no.human.being:
But you said it will allow us to flash the HBOOT on an S-ON device. If this is true, you should be able to S-OFF most (all?) devices by flashing either an ENG HBOOT or an HBOOT that has been "patched" to S-OFF the phone (Revolutionary achieves S-OFF by installing a patched HBOOT image).

Basically if you can flash an HBOOT that is not signed by HTC (and bootloader alone is almost never signed, it's always full firmware images that are signed) the door to S-OFF is wiiiide open because you know S-ON/S-OFF is decided by the Radio and the bootloader is the component that installs all firmware updates, which includes updates for the Radio. This means that if you can install a custom bootloader, you can make that bootloader flash Radios that are not original by HTC and the Radio is the component that controls whether the device is S-ON or S-OFF. So if you had a "modified" bootloader that will install "unsigned" firmware, you could take a Radio image by HTC, modify it so that it is S-OFF and then flash it using that "hacked" bootloader. You understand? The difficult part is getting that "hacked bootloader", since the "actual" (persistent) bootloader code image "lies outside the (virtual) environment" you are running in. In fact it is part of the Radio itself so you usually cannot modify it.

Now you come and claim that you can flash an (unsigned?) HBOOT on an S-ON phone. You understand the excitement? ;)
[Android Software Development] lyriquidperfection:
I see what you are saying. For some reason, I can flash hboot using dd command after rooting on my device where as it does not allow me to flash through fastboot and I am S-ON.
[Android Software Development] serialtoon:
Wait, so just by flashing an old RUU. I can have the old hboot flashed? I guess I'll give it a shot later on.
[Android Software Development] no.human.being:
Well this won't work on our device (and probably most devices). First, the HBOOT is not on ANY partition that Android even "sees" under normal circumstances. We have to run a modified recovery image on the device to be able to even get some form of "access" to the boot code, because it lies in a special "unmapped memory region" that during "normal operation" of the device doesn't even have a partition number assigned. This "unmapped region" is normally never accessed by the "guest" (= Android) and any write access to this region will be inhibited by the hypervisor "trapping" on that write request. (Yes, we have tried. No chance. The memory pages are all marked as "bad" and every erase or write access returns "I/O error" and of course if you read the page again, the original content is still there. You cannot modify a single bit in that memory region.)

But this entire "virtualization" thing is large and complex, so I'm sure that there are weaknesses one might exploit if one digs deep enough. The problem is that the codebase is quite extensive, so we have a hard time understanding how this thing works. And of course most stuff is kept secret by the processor manufacturers, which seem to be extremely paranoid about the competition "spying on them", so you have to find out a lot of stuff using reverse-engineering because no documentation is available to the public.
