Well I started off theme'ing, then moved to modding apps, now playing with source, it has only taken me 2 years lol!!!

What is the easier way Mr Hofs? Just for anyone else who might ask? or if I need to do it again etc? :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You only needed to install the 1.26, 1.28, 1.29 or the 2.17 ruu....they will work right away. A JB ruu only works when you are on at least a 2.17 based software.

Or flash the JB firmware right away. This will actually lift the hboot directly to 1.39.....

It could be done in 2 posts ;) ..... but we are all here to learn so this all has been a very good experience :thumbup:

Ow and losing the touch function on the official newer base is no problem at all, all the cwm recoverys can be controlled with the volume and power button !
[HTC One X] hpnxfox:
I don't argue with Mr Hofs :), he is expert :) and have all info in his head, i just can blindly follow his instructions :) without struggling :laugh:
[HTC One X] mattmanwrx:
But as I was on 0.43 hboot, I couldnt flash the firware.zip to bring hboot up? or could I... I was in the understanding of I needed newer than 0.43 to flash a newer hboot...

But also, it would have helped me to know that I cannot go straight to JB RUU from 0.43 - that would have saved me a lot of time lol!!

anyways, i flashed the 1.28, which bought me up to 0.96 (I think), then changed hboot to 1.39 - so all is fine for me now :)

Thanks for the suggestions though, I might need them for when I buy my HTC One lol
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yeah that's good too no problem there.

The thing is that the standalone firmware flash to upgrade the hboot can be done from any low hboot.

Only the JB ruu can be installed from the 1.12 or higher...
[HTC One X] mattmanwrx:
Well, all I know, is that is is done now!! lol...

So I'm happy... and I guess can make this thread as "Solved" :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Very true ! And a :thumbup: up for hpn !

I will answer you PM tonight Mr Hpn ;)

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Hi everyone at XDA! You might have bought your HTC Explorer, and, even had decided to root it, but, didn't still try because you were on linux, and most of the tutorials talked about using Microsoft Windows? :( :( :(

That isn't a problem anymore. If you have some basic knowledge of linux, you can easily root your device, on a linux machine!!!

There are some advantages of using a traditional linux machine, instead of Microsoft Windows, to root your device. The first and foremost among them, is linux not requiring special drivers. Microsoft Windows needs drivers for almost every smartphone nowadays, but, this is not the case with linux. It is very versatile, and supports many smartphones, natively, without the need to install any extra drivers. The next being that, Android is based on Linux. So, most of the features that you can find on any Linux machine, you can find on Android too (if you know where exactly to look).

Why this tutorial? Many are finding it difficult to unlock their bootloaders on a linux machine, and many, are also finding it difficult, to use linux to root their device.

First, you need to get an understanding of what this “rooting” process is all about.

“Unlocking your bootloader” and “rooting” your device are completely different steps, and unless you get an understanding of them both, you wouldn't be able to go about doing these steps.

To quote [MENTION=1668738]mikevipsr[/MENTION] at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1839477,

So, now that unlocking the bootloader is the first step towards gaining root priviledges, you must also know what “rooting” exactly means.

Ok, so, the risks are permanent damage to device, or an inoperable device. Frankly speaking, I never even bothered about what would happen to my device if I messed up while unlocking the bootloader or rooting it. And, its not because I can afford another phone. Its because I had the hope that I can resurrect it if I mess up things :p

All to be said has been said. Now, if you wish, you can proceed to unlock your bootloader, or, turn back, having your same old device, with the Stock firmware (and the additional bloatware that comes with it) :p

Flashing a Recovery

Now, execute the following command:

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

View attachment 1904855

You will see the following screen in your terminal.

View attachment 1904856

You will see the following screen in your device. Make sure you select “Yes” using the “Volume keys” to navigate between “Yes” and “No”.

View attachment 1904859

View attachment 1904860 View attachment 1904861

On selecting "Yes", your phone will automatically reboot into the operating system. But, that's not what we want. We want to root the device. So, let it boot into your operating system. After it does, pull out the battery again, and boot your phone into “Fastboot” using the “Power button + Volume Down” button key combination. Select “Fastboot” and make sure your device is connected and your device reads “Fastboot USB” on the screen.

Download the following file: http://www.mediafire.com/?a17t0atwqg4tai7

Copy-Paste the file into the “android” folder in your root directory. Now, execute the following command in your phone.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

then,

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Your device will reboot into bootloader.

Make sure that “Bootloader” is selected and press the “Power” button.

Now, make sure that “Recovery” is selected, and press the power button. If you see a similar image in your device, then, you have successfully unlocked the bootloader of your device, and even flashed a “recovery” which is used to flash custom ROMs.

View attachment 1904866

Go to “Reboot” and reboot your phone (system), as we have to copy some files to your SD Card.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Rooting the Device!

Now we have to root the device.

Download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/0b71k7maak05asx/Superuser.zip

Copy this file to your SD Card by whatever means possible :p

Reboot your phone into “Recovery” and go to “Install”. Browse to the place where you have kept the “Superuser.zip” file.

View attachment 1904879 View attachment 1904880

Swipe to confirm flashing the file. Then, “Reboot system”.

Thus, you have successfully rooted your phone.

If you ran into any troubles, please notify in the thread.

Thanks for the credit :o

Great work too :D
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SC54:
First of all thanks! I've been trying to get my phone unlocked and rooted for the longest time and nothing seemed to work for me, I used your guide for my HTC One S and it worked perfectly, I just substituted and renamed Paul's Recovery: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1579584 and Chainfire's SuperSU: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1538053 to make it work. I don't know if either of those steps are necessary, but it worked regardless!

Thanks again!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Thanks for the appreciation.

Renaming the recovery wouldn't have been needed. You could have directly done

fastboot flash recovery [I]*name-of-your-recovery*[/I].img

I had added that step to reduce the confusion.

Meanwhile, Chanfire's SuperSU is what I had originally intended to add in this tutorial, but, decided that it would be better to add the same which jaggyjags had decided to use. Then, users can add any superuser app that they want. You needn't have had renamed the zip file to superuser.zip. You could have just copied the file to your sdcard, and flashed it, whatever its name might be :D

No Recovery Window

Hi,

I have done fine every step in your tutorial...

But in this process I think I am not flashing good the recovery.img because, after executing that flash command (I have all Ok in command line), but when I went to Recovery Option in Bootloader I do not get that image which is the one I need to Root the phone. Every time I select "recovery" the only thing I see in the phone is a white screen with the HTC Logo and a red text telling me something like "This built is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action."

What is wrong?

Since Every step I followed is OK.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Strange....

When you executed this command:

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

were you able to see the following screen?

View attachment 1991798

If yes, did you select yes?

And, were you able to flash the recovery.img successfully using the command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

What I would recommend is that you try to reflash the recovery.img, using the above command, and note if any errors/warnings show up. Then, try rebooting into the recovery.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] maurici0m0ra:
Hi!

The problem was that my HTC is not a Explorer one, is a HTC One V PrimoU GSM.

So I needed another Recovery.IMG

I found the right one and now I already rooted my phone after installing and following the TWRP recovery tool steps for my phone.

I am new here, this is the first time I have rooted an Android phone.

Now I have to look for a good ROM and Gapps and Kernel, the right ones for my phone :D

I think I am gonna try CyanogenMod CM10.

Thank you very much for your answer.

I personally think this Android world is very messy, there is not a good place for the newbies. Some where not so confusing. But I am a Linux user and I am used to that, trying to fix software problems as root.

Bye and thank you again.

And of course!

I am never going to use Windows to root an Android phone. And less if Android in fact is Linux!

Shame on me if I do that! :D

7 years on Linux, and hacking Android in Windows? hahaha! No way!

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:

Yeah! Android is "base"ically linux! And, I forgot to mention that this is the second "non-Explorer" phone which has been rooted with the help of this tutorial! So, Linux is pretty versatile I guess!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] maurici0m0ra:
Now, what I want to know is how to see the partition table of my internal whole phone memory.

In linux I use gParted. Is there a way to see the whole file system of this phone?

And, I suppose that if I format my SDcard in EXT4, Android would be capable to read and write on it, would not be?

Replies, one by one. And, sorry for the late reply :3

The partition table of your internal phone's memory, I seriously haven't tried it yet. But, you can:

Get any file manager that has "root support", and go to the system's root partition, and check the properties of each folder. You will know the total available space :) (This is the one I have been doing so far.)

Else, try www.google.com :p Its fun learning new things and doing things on your own. I am going to try this soon.

Android will be capable of reading an EXT4 partition if the kernel supports it.

The above ROM does support EXT4 partition. If you look at the "features", you will find this:

Ext4 File system with Alignment

The error log clearly quotes this:

wrong updater binary API; expected 1 or 2, got 3

Therefore, I would like to know, which is the device that you are flashing the Superuser.zip on. If its another device, please look into the rooting tutorials of that device, and get a "Superuser.zip" or an equivalent from that tutorial.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Oblidor:
I can see that the logs say that, but it doesn't really tell me what the problem is. :) As I'm doing this on a HTC Explorer I would expect that the recovery image and Superuser.zip files are compatible :)

After much testing yesterday until late evening I managed to get it working using:

This recovery image: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=913094&d=1329843100

and this Superuser.zip: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=832400&d=1325076959

After I tried to format the SD card to ext2, but the phone could not recognise it so I defaulted back to two partitions with FAT32 :(

But at least it worked and now my wife can use the phone again, as I managed to free up space on the puny internal space. :cyclops:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Glad you could get this working.

Note that the kernel of the ROM should support ext2/3/4 partitions. The stock kernel doesn't support ext2/3/4 partitions. So, I would recommend you use the Link2SD app here (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD), as you already have 2 fat32 partitions. Select Fat32 as the partition format the first time you run the app.

Derp around a little bit, you will learn how to use the application.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Oblidor:
Yes I'm using the Link2SD. That was the reason I rooted the phone as the stock apps where eating all the space and gmail could no longer be synced. I had misunderstood in that I though also the stock ROM supported ext-fses. But I see that custom ROMs can handle this without Link2SD. Anyway it works with Link2SD so I leave it as it is. Saved me a lot of $ as alternative would be getting a new phone. So again thanks very much for your tutorial :) :good:

Hi,

I can't seem to get pass the <<waiting for device>> when i execute "fastboot flash recovery..." command.

I am trying to flash twrp recovery and root an HTC sensation with unlocked bootloader.

Please help. Thanks.

---------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: I just had to add super user permissions :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
So, working???
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] halifage:
Yes! Thanks for the quick reply.

I have another quick question: is there a way to flash boot.img in TWRP after flashing rom without using fastboot? the device is S-ON and rooted.

Alternatively, is there a way to S-OFF using linux?

I find it a bit annoying to have to go back to the machine after flashing each rom.

Thanks.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Hmm... ROMs have their own boot.imgs, and they get automatically flashed when you flash your ROM. These lines trigger it:

assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

Else, if you want to alternatively flash separate boot.imgs, everytime, you could use the "flash_image" utility of the recovery. Connect your phone to the computer, and push the boot.img to /tmp/ using

adb push boot.img /tmp/

Then, flash it using

flash_image boot /tmp/boot.img

About s-off... I see this (http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm) is a way for doing, it, and they're great! Their first pre-requisite is this:

And, about you s-off'ing your device, be sure to read a lot about it, the risks involved, and then go for it :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] halifage:
Thanks.

So where and when do i insert the trigger lines so that the roms flash their own boot image?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
They automatically do that, so, no worries! :highfive:

Every ROM's zip file has a boot.img. Open up a ROM file's zip, and you'd find a boot.img :D And, when you are installing it via TWRP, the boot.img is automatically flashed from the ROM's zip file :cowboy:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] halifage:
Great! Thanks a million man!

But when i flashed Viper yesterday i had to flash the boot image separately.

So now i just need to write these command lines and I'll never have to worry about that right?

I'll try and update you :thumbup:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Thats strange :confused: I am really confused right now, most probably because I haven't any idea about your phone's internal partitions and stuff...

Anyways, the adb push boot.img /tmp/, and flash_image boot boot.img should get you going :)
