Hey man, thanks again.. feels so nice being able to boot and have Viper! Now got something new for you..

Trying to do the Rumrunner S-Off method now, but running into an error msg. I've read your Rumrunner XL thread in the General section as well, but thought I'd just post this here.

Anyway, I'm on the rumrunner site and have read all their instructions carefully and believe I've met all the criteria.. HTC drivers installed (Device Manager says everything is working properly), HTC Sync Manager uninstalled from PC, USB debugging enabled on phone, fast boot unchecked on phone.

I'm USB mounted from TWRP v2.6.0.0, my PC recognizes my phone, and it appears as Drive E under My Computer. I opened ADB and fastboot just to test my connection and my phone appears as a listed device there too. (screenshot below)

I've downloaded the universal Windows version (rumrunner_HTC_0.5.0) from their site and unzipped everything.

But I keep getting this same error (screenshot below) every time I try running soju.exe - "no adb connection to device. Debugging on? Drivers?"

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The ADB command lists my device so I assume I'm connected, Device Manager says my drivers are all up to date and working properly, and USB debugging is definitely active on my phone.

Do I possibly need to be out of TWRP Recovery while running soju.exe? Should I be in regular hboot bootloader while doing this instead? Or be out of bootloader entirely? Many thanks again..

Running:

hboot 2.14

ViperXL 4.2

Android 4.2.2

Sense 5.0

TWRP 2.6.0.0
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stile1121:
Nevermind, it worked out. I was able to move the .zip once I finally got the USB mount through TWRP.

Installing correct ViperXL now, thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You should be booted into Android while attempting Rumrunner.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droydr:
Now getting the attached error, is it possible I lost root yesterday when I had to wipe my sdcard, flash TWRP, and Viper rom?

Also, Viper comes with its own kernel, correct? Is it not unsecure? If not, is there a way to unsecure its kernel.. or would I have to flash a different unsecure kernel (maybe beastmode)? Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Viper comes with root, but have you enabled usb debugging in Developer Options? Every ROM has a kernel included otherwise the phone wouldn't boot or be usable at all. I would have thought it'd be unsecured but I could be wrong. You could try flashing Beastmode but that ended badly for you last time. Kickdroid is known to be a ROM that's Rumrunner friendly. Do you have SuperCID? Is it an at&t model?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droydr:
Yeah, that's what I thought.. already rooted.

Yes, USB debugging enabled within Developer Options. When soju.exe is running, it also says USB connected and debugging at top of phone.

I hear you about Beastmode. At the same time, it was working fine after I installed it in Default mode. It wasn't until I I tried reinstalling it with Customized CPU clock settings that it screwed up everything. If I'm not comfortable with that, then Kickdroid.

In your rumrunner thread, you suggested Elemental 4.1 to another user who was in a similar situation.. would Elemental version 4.2.2 for me be another potential option as a kernel?

No SuperCID - if I install that, would that resolve either part of the 'root and unsecure kernel' error msg from rumrunner without having to flash a different kernel?

Not sure if you noticed, but the error msg also says "su or FU!" at the end.. is that suggesting another possible solution to these errors?

Yes, phone is AT&T model HOXL. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The problem with Elemental is that I believe it might require s-off to be flashed, so I'm not sure why I said that. Have a look at the thread though, it'll tell you there.

If the phone is an at&t model then it must have SuperCID, as it's impossible to unlock the bootloader without it. Check by issuing this fastboot command:

fastboot oem readcid

I'm not sure about the fu error but su usually means superuser. When attempting Rumrunner you should make sure the device is on and ensure that the screen doesn't lock, there may be a pop-up that asks you to grant superuser access.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droydr:
My mistake. I said I didn't have SuperCID in my last post because CID or SuperCID wasn't showing up in my bootloader details. I thought you only had SuperCID if it was listed in bootloader. Anyway, I ran that fastboot command and it said: CID-11111111. Not sure if that's just regular CID or 'super' CID, but it's there nonetheless. Screenshot below..

Yeah, the phone was always on with no lock screen and booted into Android.

Anyway, I just tried running it again a few more times and it finally worked! I actually changed USB ports on my computer after the first few attempts failed. I remembered you mentioned in your rumrunner thread that it might help to try a different port on your computer, so maybe that's what did it for me.

It took about 20 minutes for the rumrunner to finish and the log said it had to pour 3 different shots for it work, but it did in the end! :D

Now I'm just trying to figure out what new firmware I should install. My goal is to run kitkat, so obviously it has to be compatible with that. I'll start reading the different threads about the kitkat package.

Another small thing I want to do is erase the red text on the HTC splash screen and the "Tampered" text on bootloader. In the threads about doing those things, it mentioned I needed S-Off to do that, hence why I started with rumrunner first.

Thanks again! :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You can install the 2.15 firmware if you want to but it isn't actually necessary for KitKat, only for Sense 5 ROMs..I'd advise against editing your hboot in any way, including removing the red text, I've seen it create more problems than it's worth. If you want to install a KitKat ROM all you need to do is make sure you have the right version of TWRP installed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droydr:
Thanks for the tip man! That's a bit disappointing to hear, but I'll forget about deleting the HTC splash screen red text and the 'tampered' bootloader text. It's just a small cosmetic annoyance, definitely not worth the risk of screwing something up at the core.

Great, I'm gonna start reading through the different kitkat rom options. I've already been on two different versions of TWRP, so if it needs to be upgraded again to accommodate a kitkat rom, then no worries.

I'm really glad rumrunner finally worked without me having to try a different kernel, I was feeling kinda hesitant about that.. just want to leave stock Viper alone until I decide on another rom.

Curious, what processes require a new firmware/hboot? Been reading different threads dedicated to just upgrading firmware, so I'm a bit confused. Thanks again.

Hey guys,

Big thanks to timmaaa and everyone else who has contributed to the guides on here. Coming from a Samsung which was easy as flashing with a recovery with Odin and being done, HTC was a stressful gig with bootloaders, RUUs, S-OFF, etc. I got my evita almost 22 months ago on a contract so I didn't want to void the warranty with bootloaders and S-OFF and then I also got frustrated by the lack of external storage so I picked up a Samsung GS3 a few months later. Lucky I was able to put CM on that easily otherwise that wouldn't have lasted long with me which is what's happening with my Note 3. There is CM for it now but it's not that stable and with the whole KNOX crap, I'm just over Samsung so I'm selling it.

So long story short, this means I'm downgrading back to my trusty evita in the short term. I managed to get the CM nightlies on it and it's running great but I'm really missing the ergonomic power button of the Samsung. I've done a few searches around but I'm getting bits of info here and there. Could someone please confirm if the only way to get double tap to wake is from flashing a different kernel? If so which kernel(s) and is it compatible with CM? I'd rather not flash another kernel because it's a bit excessive just for 1 feature but I guess you guys might give me the answer that one.

Thanks all. :)

EDIT: Actually backtracked a few posts from my searches and got my answer. I think DT2W and S2W are kernel level functions so I went ahead and installed Torched kernel then installed Trickster Mod and now I have DT2W and S2W/S2S working perfectly. XDA ftw! :)

I assume that I will have to flash Torched kernel after every CM nightly update?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There's really only one way to flash new firmware to your device, that's using fastboot. You'll find it in the first post of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45122768

It's really simple, takes about a minute to do.

[EDIT]

Now that I think about it, there's an FUU (firmware update utility) tool that [MENTION=4678269]Flashalot[/MENTION] developed which allows you to change firmware pretty easily, I just can't remember which section it's in, probably our Android Development section.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yep, Torched is the way to go. You will have to flash it again after each ROM flash.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droydr:
Gotcha and thanks for the link.. went ahead and upgraded to 2.15, was a breeze like you said. I'm out of Thanks for the day, but will hit you later.

With respect to firmware updates, how do you actually know when it's necessary to upgrade firmware? For example, in your signature, I see you're running AICP 4.4.2 and firmware 2.14 on your Evita. Just curious, is there a reason you haven't upgraded to 2.15, 2.18, or 2.20?

Guess what I'm asking is.. what really dictates that your firmware should (or must) be upgraded?

Interesting, I'll look into that.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I actually have upgraded to the 2.15 firmware, not because I needed to but like of curiosity. I need to update my signature. Basically for all current aosp ROMs you must have at least the firmware which contains the 2.14 hboot (from the 3.18 RUU). But if you're on a Sense 5 ROM you must have the firmware that contains the 2.15 firmware or above. As far as I can tell there's no real difference between the firmwares that contain the 2.15, 2.17, and 2.18 hboots, apart from the radio that's bundled into them.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droydr:
Thanks, makes sense.

Well, I think I'm addicted to flashing now and want to try AICP 4.4.2 after reading Techinstein's and your Q&A thread about it.

One thing that's stopping me - it doesn't appear there's an MD5 available for the AICP zip file on either Tech's Google Doc site DL link or on the mirror site DL link that was posted here.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2640571

Is there a way to find the MD5 of the AICP file some other way?

I've downloaded it to my PC, along with Banks' GApps zip and the Torched-KK kernel Build #3.6 (latest version) zip. Just don't want to do the full wipe in TWRP and start installing anything until I know if there should be an MD5 to check against for the AICP zip.

One other question - for Trickster Mod, I can't find a dedicated link within this forum for an Evita supported version - does one exist? Or, is the officially supported Endeavoru Trickster version on the Play Store ok to use from here? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod

Many thanks again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Oh yeah, I noticed the same thing with AICP. Sometimes there isn't an md5 listed so you don't really have a choice but to just flash it. Unless the download was interrupted you should be fine. In regards to Trickster Mod, just download it from the Play Store.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droydr:
Cool, glad I asked about the md5 just in case. Will just grab the store version of Trickster from my phone as well.

Thanks for the quick reply sir, looking fwd to seeing kitkat on this puppy! :o

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droydr:
Hah, you weren't kidding man.. this ROM and KitKat are nuts! It's like a totally new experience.. just feels more mature than different ROMs. I think an AOSP-based ROM is exactly what I was looking for ;)

I'm guessing this is the most 'true' Android experience we're gonna get on the Evita without any Sense stuff? It's basically transformed the device into just an HTC shell with a full Google OS.

And Trickster is another level of tweaking.. I don't even know what 75% of this stuff does :laugh: Love the S2W and DT2W, now I can stop wearing out the Power button. Can't seem to get S2S to work though despite enabling, perhaps it's not supported by Torched 3.6.. ah well.

I can't wait to see what AICP 2.5 and 3.0 look like.. I know Tech is crazy busy with managing a bunch of ROMs and his regular school work, but this is incredible stuff!

Hello everyone,

Currently my device works with CleanROM 7.0 is a great rom, very smooth and ALMOST completely stable, is because sometimes my phone is working normally and suddenly restarts without any reason, I would like to know if anyone has gone something like this and if already find any solution?

grateful to their opinions, it would be helpful :good:

Hi guys!

I'm new to this forum and just wanted to ask you a few questions on the whole process of upgraiding the device.

I've read FAQ and a guide for beginners, but I think I didn't get quite right the order I must follow to be able to install any rom on my phone

As far as I know, the order is following:

1. unlock the bootloader by following instructions it the first table of this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2593382

2. unlocking the phone via htcdev

3. then I flash a custom recovery

4. next step is getting s-off by following this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155071

5. then I can install the rom of my choice via recovery

is it ok? I just didn't come across any ordered instruction on this matter, only separated methods

by the way, my hboot is 2.14 and firmware is 3.18, never modified

will be grateful for your help, mates!:good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
That all looks fine, except between steps three and four you will need to flash Superuser or SuperSU to get root before getting s-off via the Facepalm method. Either that or flash a ROM like Kickdroid and get s-off via the Rumrunner method.

Couple more for you..

- Is there a way to know if your Evita is sim unlocked

without

having to insert a different carrier's sim card? Like are there any command statements you can run from ADB/fastboot (or similar type of application) which will specifically tell you one way or another? Have searched, but can't find such a discussion on here already.

- Is there an XDA endorsed method to sim unlock an Evita

without

having to get an unlock code from AT&T or third party online site? The manual process to do so for the HTC Sensation was discussed here.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1693491

I found only one somewhat relevant discussion here about sim unlocking for Evita, but all it basically explains is that you must have an unlock code from your carrier and be running a stock Sense rom. Naturally, I'm wanting to manually hack like the One S method, but not sure if HTC encrypted the unlock code on the Evita like it did for the Sensation?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
As far as I know there's no way to tell apart from putting a different SIM card in it. If it's an at&t model though it's most likely SIM locked. SIM unlocking can be very hit and miss, the sure fire way to get it done is via the carrier. There are various traders online that offer SIM unlock codes, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Even reputable traders have issues. The manual method you described for the One S might transfer across to our device, however, the partition layout for the two devices are different so the location is probably not the same and will prove to be difficult to find. All in all, I'd say do some research on the third party traders and find one with a decent reputation, if the code doesn't work they'll generally refund your payment.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droydr:
Thanks boss, pretty much what I was expecting to hear but good to get the confirm. That's interesting to know the One S has a different partition layout than ours, really enjoyed reading that hack thread.

I'll probably drop by again soon to bother you about something else. Just wanted to sincerely thank you again for all your help and patience since I bought the phone from its prior owner a couple weeks ago. Couldn't even charge the thing to begin, then started flashing without really knowing what I was doing, then soft bricking where I lost the sdcard and OS. Really had me stressed out, kinda hard to sleep. To say I'm relieved that I can run KK now and feel some confidence about the device and software would be an understatement.

This is my first smartphone, so the process has been a blessing in disguise because it's really forced me to slow down, learn, and read all the dev work and your FAQ/Q&A's that have already been done. Just don't know what I'm going to do about my flashing addiction now. :cyclops:

Curious, you planning on keeping your Evita for a decent bit longer? This forum seems like it'd be lost without ya! ;):good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It's no problem at all, I started this thread because I enjoy helping people out. It's awesome that you've learnt so much through all this trouble you've had, knowledge is a very valuable thing. I'll be keeping this phone for a while, I'm only one of a few great people in our forum though.

TWRP can be flashed easily if necisary (<<dont know how to spell that sorry lolzz :D)

Okay so i saw that there was an OTA update available to upgrade my HOX from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2 so i went into settings and clicked htc updater and that didnt work to update(my phone was still working at this point in time)

So i did some research and found this thing called HTC RUU which i proceded to download.

this is the link to the RUU >>>EDIT<<< they say i cant post the link cuz im new lolzz:eek:

That still didnt work. So i did some more research and found out that my bootloader needed to be relocked. (i got the phone a week ago and used the EZ Toolkit Cloud Evita to unlock the bootloader , install TWRP recovery and root , tried to S-OFF but no luck there)

So i watched some stupid vid and it said to use >fastboot oem lock< in cmd to lock the bootloader and i did that sucessfully.

Then i started the RUU it seemed to install properly untill this box came up to i clicked close program (whatelse would i have done) and then surprisingly this box came up i hit finish and the phone rebooted to show the htc logo like this then this (taken with my trusty nokia 2700 going strong for 3+ years) yea but anyways it just bootloops there

what i tried:

1)when reinstall TWRP this stopped showing and it just hung and bootlooped on the htc logo

i reunlocked the bootloader sucessfuly the ii relocked and tried the RUU again. did the same thing described above

2)reinstalled TWRP again and wiped everything, dalvik cache, sdcard, system etc.. and tried the RUU again, and it just does the same thing, boot and show the HTC logo then the down abd arround arrows..

SORRY if this was asked already, SORRY if this is the wrong thread, SORRY for wrong spelling , SORRY if i did $#!T and F&$#ed my phone.

:fingers-crossed:Can someone plzz help:fingers-crossed:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I'd just suggest forgetting about the RUU altogether, unless you want a ROM with missing/broken features. There are several 4.2.2 ROMs available in our development section which are much better than anything at&t would release.

So what you'll need to do is this: unlock your bootloader again, install TWRP 2.6 from here, find and install a 4.2.2 ROM from our development section here, enjoy. If you need any tutorials just check out my How-To Guide For Beginners thread, the link is in my signature.
