[HTC First] russian392:
Thanks guys you have been a great help. Finaly i sort of understand how this works...never thought that the Genius of android devices aka HTC would make something so complicated. on my lg, it was just hit a button and ur rooted.

thanks thanks thanks thanks and again...thanks:good:

now i can just go over to rasheds house and let him use my phone :laugh: so he could port CM and test it!!!

EDIT

so...all i do is

1. Unlock Boot Loader...by following instructions on HTC Dev website

2. Go into H boot by holding power and volume down. Selecting Fast Boot (while phone is plugged into pc) on pc command prompt type in command to flash recovery.

Thats it? did i miss anything?
[HTC First] Kendosis:
Yeah that's it and to S-OFF just follow the instructions in the other thread.
[HTC First] russian392:
oh ya...forgot.
[HTC First] russian392:
The other thread tells me what to do, but doesn't explain how to do it
[HTC First] russian392:
So let me get this straight.

I must go to the HTC Dev website, and folow all instructions their to unlock the boot loader. Once i have unlocked the bootloader i must put the recovery and superuser files onto the root of my sd card/phone storage, boot into HBoot, select Fast Boot, hook up the phone to pc, and on my pc, in comand prompt type the folowing comands:

> c:\fastboot

> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

(if those codes are incorrect, please let me know)

After that, i simply wait for the recovery to flash (idk how long, or what do i look for to know that it is completed?????).

Once it is flashed, i tell it in recovery to flash supersu, or superuser. which ever one it does.

Once that is done, reboot, put moonshine/rumrunner on to the root of my sdcard/phone storage, reboot into recovery, and flash it. that will turn Security (s) off.

if any of that is incorrect, please tell me. cause this is so confusing. Like details i need is

1. when where do i plug in the phone to the computer

2. do i boot into hboot first, then plug in the phone, or do i plug in first, then reboot into hboot

3. do i need to run any ddms.bat or fastboot.bat files beforehand?

4. i flash moonshine in recovery, or comand it from pc?

see...i need DETAILS, not like: flash recovery. I understand that i need to flash the recovery... HOW and WHEN is what i need to know...does that make more sense of what my problem is?

EDIT

BTW, FXXX it, im not rooting this thing till 1 of 2 things happens. 1, i get a normal explanation, that will walk me through step by step on how to do this. i dont need screenshots nesicarily, just a detailed explanation...this isnt just for me, but for tons of other people who have the HTC First. or 2. someone makes a noob proof program that you simply hook up your phone to ur pc and hit root.
[HTC First] killall-q:
You flash recovery from a file on your computer. With your current setup, put recovery.img where fastboot.exe is and run that command. It should only take a couple seconds, if it hangs press Ctrl+C to terminate, type "adb devices" to check if the device is detected, if not type "adb kill-server" and try again.

You don't need superuser to moonshine, that's for getting you root when you're done and booted up.

1. Before doing anything that involves the phone and the computer communicating via USB. -.-

2. Doesn't matter, the phone doesn't need to be unplugged for any part of this so it doesn't hurt to leave it plugged in.

3. What? Don't just run stuff without knowing what it does.

4. Run moonshine from your computer.

Let's go over the basics a little:

To boot into recovery once it's installed, turn off the phone and then hold down power and volume down until the softkeys flash. Release the power button before releasing the volume button. That will bring you to HBOOT. Use the volume keys to scroll to, and power to select, "BOOTLOADER", then "RECOVERY". The alternative less painful method is to type "adb reboot recovery" from your computer.

All you need to root this phone is to install Superuser via a recovery such as ClockworkMod or TWRP. You do that by putting Superuser.zip in the phone's storage, installing recovery as above, then boot into recovery and choose "Install zip" and find the zip on /sdcard0.

S-OFF is not required to run apps with root permissions, but it is required to make permanent changes to system files such as any mods, and to flash ROMs.

A quirk with moonshine is that if you relock the bootloader after S-OFF, you will be unable to reunlock until you RUU (return to factory image) the phone.
[HTC First] russian392:
wow thanks man.

Um.

1. how do i RUU and what does it stand for?

2. yes. i see the recovery and boot files within my fastboot folder on my c drive. the recovery is TWRP, what is the boot file?

3. can anyone show some screenshots of the actual code typing. like show me command prompt with the codes typed it and ran?

4. if anyone can, make a video walk through of the basics, not necessarily rooting, but simply so i could see the darn stuff in action?

5. should i relock the bootloader after s-off? what happens if i do/do not relock?

THANKS SO MUCH GUYS

this is not only a help to me, but a help to anyone else who buys this device. thanks alot, i am now piecing together the pieces and see a vague picture!
[HTC First] Kendosis:
I'll reset my device later and reroot it and try to screen shot the process.
[HTC First] Kendosis:
Here I made a pic collage, if you still don't understand I can't help you lol. The process is way too simple.

And here's the link for the ruu program.

At the end after you click recovery your device will reboot just enter hboot mode again but holder the power button and volume down rocker and go back to recovery.

[HTC First] russian392:
Alright I think I got this down.

This really isn't simple, on my lg, I plugged it up to PC, hit a button, rooted. Downloaded cwm app, hit install recovery, done.
[HTC First] atstein:
Thanks for the guide in this thread.. I am trying to root my First as well but, and I have the Unlock_code.bin file. I am trying to push that back to the device, but the process seems to freeze when I do the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" I have let it sit there for several minutes. Any ideas? I am on a fresh install of Win7.

Thanks again for this guide.
[HTC First] russian392:
I don't think its a windows problem. Is android debug on? Is your phone found by the android SDK ddms? Did you install HTC drivers?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rccar:
Some of you may have seen in the past I had a problem with my camera app, every time I would open up the camera, whether it be the camera app or 3rd party, sometimes it would show black or green graphical defects. So I called Google and got a replacement, thinking it was the camera. I get the new one, tested for a whole day it worked fine. So I rooted it, installed cataclysm, and Franco kernel and the camera mod and it's doing the EXACT same thing as the first nexus 5. What gives?! It must be something software related. There is no way I got two defective phones in a row. No one else has this issue? It only happens sometimes and gets fixed with a reboot.

CID -> not in the android-info.txt

so as [MENTION=4265139]jerrycoffman45[/MENTION] mentioned, let's change your CID (temporarlily at least):

fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (8 digits!!)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44

fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44 <- just in case the first one didnt do it.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

if you want to go back to your CID

fastboot oem writecid HTC__M27 (2 underscores)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

alternatively, you can edit the "android-info.txt" file in the zip to add your CID

i dont actually know for sure it just seems to be the common factor. most i have seen is when rumrunner fails and they dont get s-off maybe the op will tell us how he got s-off. also i think rumrunner installs a custom hboot but i really have not read that thread as i used revone when it first came out.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] foxnolds:
Jasjar Pocket IE (and Terminal Server Client) will NOT use existing WiFi connection yet other 3rd party Applications have no such problem!

MS Pocket IE (and MS Terminal Server Client) always tries to use GPRS connection and if I turn flight-mode on, it fails altogether rather than use an existing WiFi connection.

The following applications work fine over WiFi suggesting my network setup is OK:-

AvantGo Client Connect Updates

Weather Panel Updates

Opera Browser v8.5 Beta

My home WiFi hub is a Linksys WRT54G. Works fine with my old XDA II by the way.

Are there any Registry settings I need to change :?:

I have tried searching Tweaks2K2.net for a solution but no luck.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vikasmal:
The alternative is that you could connect to your WIFI with your EXEC first and then open PIE. That is the procedure I follow. Click on the icon next to the signal bars on the top bar and you will be presented with a pop up window. Click on Connect to WIFI and after done, open PIE or Netfront and surf using WIFI.

Cheers, Vikas.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] foxnolds:
Thanks Vikas for your reply.

Sorry, but it was of little help..

Yes, I have a tower-like Icon with to and from arrows showing an existing WiFi connection. The Connectivity Dialog Box that appears when I click the Icon only gives option to "Turn off Wi-Fi", Jump to "Settings" or to "Hide" the dialog. It also shows the WiFi connection name and a bar graph showing connected signal strength.

When I hide the dialog then click on Start->Internet Explorer it shows a start page:

file://\windows\default.htm

If I click on a link on this page e.g. "club i-mate", I get a "connecting..." progress bar at the bottom of the screen shortly followed by a connection Dialog saying it is trying to connect to GPRS, 3G that I must cancel because it costs $0.02 per Kbyte! No page loads. :roll:

If I use Opera Browser, it uses the WiFi link and pages appear as expected.

Clear as mud :?:

I guess the O2 Exec ROM is OK but the i-mate Jasjar ROM has problems on my device. Easy money for Opera guys, they scored my US$29...
