Watched your video bro, Nice job I bookmarked it. My wifes is coming monday and I may go ahead and do it before she starts installing and configuring things.

[HTC Droid DNA] senfoo:
Great job on the videos!

Thank you for making the videos.

Unlock & root went flawlessly using a mac running os x.

None of this was possible without jcase. Thank you jcase!!
[HTC Droid DNA] v2.2v:
New to HTC

should i wait for S-off before I unlock and root? Is S-off achievable after root?
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
Yes, s-off is achievable after root, unfortunately, there is no s-off exploit for the DNA yet. So no.
[HTC Droid DNA] starscream86:
Awesome videos man! It really helps to see someone do it rather than just following a tutorial.

Also want to say jcase is an awesome guy! I ran into some trouble with the exploit but jcase jumped on team viewer and got me all straightened out.

We should all remember show the dev's the respect and appreciation they deserve.
[HTC Droid DNA] owenbeals:
Jcase is da man. I had some issues with my pc so he set up adb on my mac via teamviewer. I've never had that kind of support from a dev!
[HTC Droid DNA] v2.2v:
Ok cool. I'm just gonna root this thing I guess. Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] MePascal:
So....I have seen an unsecured kernel that in several forums originally posted by dsb.

I did not see "flashing the unsecured kernel" in any of your videos however in those kernel posts it (kernel) has been flashed in order access recovery and root.

Am I missing something?
[HTC Droid DNA] owenbeals:
Not needed that was prior to release
[HTC Droid DNA] bmorrisj:
thanks you for the videos, i unlocked/rooted my DNA with great success last night.
[HTC Droid DNA] skinniebone:
No success I get file exist and permission denie...is there something I'm doing wrong.
[HTC Droid DNA] Spaded21:
Will flashing a different recovery risk bricking the phone if an OTA comes out? Or does doing this disable OTAs?
[HTC Droid DNA] DammitCubs:
I am a little confused. I hear that S-OFF ins not available but then what is the two youtube videos for. I thought I saw it say "unlocked"
[HTC Droid DNA] jonah1234:
Unlocked and s-off are two different things.

Just wanted to say great work on the videos! :good: My bro just got his DNA and I've just spent the past couple of hours making sure I did everything correct and with your vids it went very smooth and he is now successfully rooted. Many thanks to the OP for taking the time to do this!
[HTC Droid DNA] rajuabju:
Thanks for the video's! Very helpful as a guide to see the actual process as I went through the instructions from jcase and make sure everything was proceeding properly on each step.
[HTC Droid DNA] azndan2:
Thank you so much. I used all of these videos in conjunction with Jcase's personal help in the IRC channel.

I just wanted to thank the the author of the thread and vid tutorials - they "held my hand" through the arduous process of setting up adb, exploit, unlock boot, and finally ROOT! I love this community!
[HTC Droid DNA] owenbeals:
You are welcome!
[HTC Droid DNA] Hackenstein:
Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome walkthrough. Just upgraded to the DNA from the Thunderbolt and first order of business was to unlock, root, and get free tethering back.

Everything worked like a charm.

Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] slimc84:
everything worked fine until i got to the htcdev website...i typed fastboot oem get_identifier_token and it just sits there and says waiting for device...

[HTC Droid DNA] uncanny03gt:
Great Guide!!

Rooted and Rom'd a friends DNA today... I was stuck at one point during exploit process, watched your video and it helped make sense of things!! :highfive:

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] Spaded21:
It would have been nice to know this was going to factory reset my phone. Guess I should have just assumed it would.
[HTC Droid DNA] owenbeals:
Im pretty sure it was mentioned in the video
[HTC Droid DNA] Spaded21:
Yeah, at the end. I'm not mad at anyone except myself though.
[HTC Droid DNA] Androidalchemist:
Having trouble getting the drivers to load, running, I installed HTC sync manager. And it showed drivers where there. But it's not picking up my device when I go to cmd adb devices.
[HTC Droid DNA] slimc84:
yup...drivers installed and computer reads phone fine and adb worked for the exploit just not working when i try to use htcdev
[HTC Droid DNA] owenbeals:
You might try running the exploit again
[HTC Droid DNA] owenbeals:
Be sure usb debugging is enabled
[HTC Droid DNA] slimc84:
exploit runs fine....htc dev still a no-go...
[HTC Droid DNA] owenbeals:
Stumped. Try contacting @TeamAndirc on twitter
[HTC Droid DNA] twistmycap:
Having the same thing happen, I go into CMD and type in adb devices, and i get this

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

what should i do? im kinda stuck:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[HTC Droid DNA] Amphibliam:
Does this wipe your user data off the phone?
[HTC Droid DNA] owenbeals:
It does wipe data
[HTC Droid DNA] owenbeals:
When is the last time you updated adb?
[HTC Droid DNA] rupret27:
After hours of frustration with the same thing I finally figured out what was causing the problem. In the instructions where you have to add the exception under environment variables it says to paste this"C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools". It actually has to be this";C:\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\platform-tools;C:\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\tools". this is due to the sdk bundle being changed. I hope this helps those with the same frustrations that I had and saves you the time.

I am having a problem with command prompt finding the CIDGen.apk and the runme.sh. both are in the same folder that adb is in but when I try running through command it says that it cannot start the runme.sh' no such file or directory. I was able to bypass the CIDGen by placing it into storage on the phone and install it there.
[HTC Droid DNA] zounduser:
U may have to cd into wherever your adb is? I had to cd c:\android, as that is where my adb is stored. This wasnt mentioned in the guide that i used. "video, and redmond pie" writeup. Hope this helps anyone who is having troubles.

RATTLED FROM MY ONE XL USING ICS TAPATALK 2
[HTC Droid DNA] owenbeals:
Good point. You can also open up the folder where adb is contained, right click, open command prompt here
[HTC Droid DNA] rupret27:
Thanks I will try both of those today. I would have yesterday but I had to work.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Big thanks to jcase!

And thanks to DMX for the videos!
[HTC Droid DNA] Picolini:
So does using the HTC dev site still work for unlocking the bootloader? The other (pinned) post says that it doesn't work "thanks to Verizon." The workaround in that thread seems tedious and risky if the process is messed up at all. I'd prefer to be able to do it the "official" way as shown in OPs video.

edit:

Oh, I watched the first video. This makes sense now.

Thanks OP for the videos, this makes me feel much more comfortable with the whole process. Hopefully I'll be unlocked and rooted within the hour :)
[HTC Droid DNA] KKellett:
Ok, couple of quick questions. I started this process but got stuck in back up, does it take a very long time for the restore? I chose the restore option and it greyed out and just sat there. Also when I put in a partition number to I use last number from device number or from imei? Lastly can I start this process over again? If so do I need to factory reset first or just begin process again.

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
It takes a while to restore, I thought I borked it so I started the pocess from the beginning without rebooting and it worked.
[HTC Droid DNA] KKellett:
Thanks,

Also I used the device serial # for partition, is that the right one or should I used IMEI#
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Last digit of the imei number.
[HTC Droid DNA] KKellett:
So am I still ok to just do over with new partition or do I need to reset?
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Where are you stuck?
[HTC Droid DNA] KKellett:
I stopped the restore part, but when it did the CIDGen I did partition 6(Last of Device #) not Partition 2(Last of IMEI) so wondering if that is what screwed up my restore. Wondering if I can do CIDGen 2 now or if I need to do a factory reset first
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I did not reboot. I uninstalled CIDGen (probably not required) and started the process over.
[HTC Droid DNA] KKellett:
Got it all squared away.

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Glad you got it worked out.
[HTC Droid DNA] edjm711:
I was attempting a restore and I realized the laptop I used had an out of date adb. Can I download the new SDK and replace adb in my sdk tools folder or should I factory reset and start fresh?

Edit. Updated and just reran did worked great.
[HTC Droid DNA] gobraves00:
Just got phone otherday and I have read a lot of the threads. I'm at command prompt and typed adb devices and it found my device. When I copy in Tue cidgen it isn't working. Don't know what else to do. I tried sound c:\platform-tools\adb install cidgen and still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Did you start the command prompt where cidgen is located.

Shift right click. And you don't do it in the folder adb is in, you do it where the exploit files are located, unless they are one and the same.
[HTC Droid DNA] bobojones:
I would definitely donate if someone made one...
[HTC Droid DNA] gobraves00:
Shift right click not doing anything. I have windows co if that makes any difference.
[HTC Droid DNA] uncanny03gt:
I had an issue with that as well, I then copied the APK to internal memory and used astro file manager to install CIDGEN.APK. Started App, placed last number of IMEI in, ran app to generate partition... Works like a charm!! :highfive:

[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Shift right click in the folder, not on a file.
[HTC Droid DNA] owenbeals:
also make sure nothing is highlighted in the folder and nothing is selected when you right click inside the folder

I just created 4 accounts and submitted the token 4 times. The bootloader email will not come. I had unlocked a Sensation last year and it came instantly whats going on? anyone get their email please let us know! and we will try again soon hopefully! hate stock lol

Is anybody having problems with their mic not being sensitive? If I hold my phone an inch or more away from my face it doesn't pick up any sound at all. I've done several tests with other phones and my DNA is the only phone that is suffering from this? It's a problem because the other person on the line can't hear me at all unless I talk really really loud?
[HTC Droid DNA] chalkitychalke:
I'm having the same issue. If I hold the phone even the smallest bit away from my face, it sounds like I'm on the other side of the room to the person on the other end. VZW technical support claimed it was the software and made me do a factory reset, even though anybody with the smallest bit of tech knowledge could tell you it's a hardware problem.
[HTC Droid DNA] Nickw1978:
Mic Issues

Actually I believe its a software problem and although I never had the issue with my dna, my friend paul did. With his phone, I was thinking it maybe a hardware issue at first but I found out that if you put his phone on speaker and then take it back off speaker it was fine. Also not only that but if you use the system test on his by dialing *#*#3424#*#* and then do a mic test, it would work perfectly there as well so if it were an actual hardware issue, it would be screwing up all the time, not just in phone calls before switching between modes and back again.

[General Questions and Answers] ravnecj:
Hello XDA,

I just have a very simply question that the experts here should have no problem answering.

Please spare me the knowledge :)

On my Coby Kyros 8042 which is fresh out of the box, un-tweaked in any way

I cant play my favored Glu Games like Eternity Warriors 2 and Lil' Kingdom.

As we know it doesn't have Google Play so I use

Black Market Alpha

and

1Mobile

The problem is that when I run the apps, they fail to download the resource files from the server,

which is if i'm not mistaken, the files that should be on andoid/obb

When I download the app from Blackmarket or 1Mobile, it only downloads the APK, not the obb file...

and when I run the app, sometimes it says:

"doanload failed because you might not have purchased this app" -BUT THOSE ARE FREE APPS?!?!

"cannot find resources to download"

"connecting to server" continuously flashes on and off of the screen

what might the problem be???

Please help..... I really want to play those games.... :(

Thanks all you guys... more power to XDA

PS: is there any other better providers than BMA and 1mobile?
[HTC One X+] hasoon2000:
So I want to speed up the process since I do get pretty busy in school. Let's create a list of safe to remove apps/files so I can have builds uploaded quicker and lighter! If I test everyone by myself, it'll take a while to do. So you guys tell me, what can be safely removed? Let's try to remove all the AT&T junk!
[HTC One X+] droidiac13:
Remember, 99% of the stuff removed can be downloaded through the Market. You could also create a separate zip to allow people to install the apps that were removed. Just a thought...
[HTC One X+] hasoon2000:
I'm saying like bloatware. HTC apps, AT&T apps, etc. Some HTC apps can be removed safely while others can't.

Sent From My HTC Amaze 4G via Someone's Room ;)
[HTC One X+] Ratzu:
Anything with AT&T on it can and should be removed. Just keep Beats audio in there, all I can tell you :P

Also, do we have an ETA on AT&T HOX+ CM10? Are there other AOSP-based ROMs in development for the One X+, particularly the AT&T version?
[HTC One X+] olorolo:
It would probably be easier to grab one of the international hox+ Roms that's been debloated and take a look to see what's missing to determine what can come out or at least use it as a base to know what can be removed....not a base to rom build though just to be clear

sent from my HOX+ running Illuminati
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
There's NEVER an ETA but here's one for you, expect CM10 before 2013 ;p
[HTC One X+] SysAdmNj:
I dont know but I'm happy I'm seeing threads like this :D
[HTC One X+] thezoolander:
Can we look at de-bloated At&t HOX ROMs to get an idea of what's safe to remove? Or at the very least, like someone else mentioned, we should compile a zip to have a safety net of sorts.

Also, I'm no expert but I'm more than willing to help test things and speed up our dev process. I should be getting my HOX+ middle of next week.
