So, I have gone through the whole process of rooting my phone, unlocking it. I have TWRP on it, Titanium backup (thankfully), Goo Manager. It is S-on. I have 2.09 Hboot. My TWRP-jewel is 2.5.0.0. Ok, now onto my question, I am trying to get CM-10 to load but it doesn't go any further than the load screen. No matter what I try. I have even tried switching to JellyBAM but all to no avail. Can someone offer me tips as to what I may have done or be doing wrong? Thanks in advance
[Q] trying to put CM10 on my rooted phone
Forgive me if I put this in the wrong group, but I feel this is probably the right one for it. I have Hboot 2.09. I have TWRP. I have S-on. I want to put CM10 with Gapps onto my phone but every way I have tried, CM10 just sits there and loops around, the longest being an hour. I figured some time was possible, but come on. Over on Google+, people are telling me to flash this and flash that, fastboot this or that. I have no idea what they are trying to say to me. I am loving learning all of this but I need a little more explanation than just flash something. I realize that flash has something to do with commands. I am running windows 8 if that helps on my laptop. My TWRP version is 2.5.0.0. I don't know if my phone has gone through the latest update or not. Thanks for any help you can give me!
You have to install the kernel separately from the ROM since you're S-on. Click the link in my sig for more info.
You most likely have the newest touch panel driver, so you can only use ROM's based off the latest OTA, software version 3.16. Your touchscreen won't work otherwise. You can gain S-off and downgrade your touch panel driver, at which point you can run AOSP ROM's like CM.

First of all you might be on the newest touch panel driver, and that's the first thing that gets you in trouble because aosp roms don't work with that, as of now, it might work later... Who knows... Secondly you need to flash the boot.img separately thru fastboot because your are s-on and on 2.09... To make your life easier try to get s-off either thru facepalm or dirty racun... That way you can flash any rom and also downgrade your touch panel driver to get aosp working on your phone... If you flash viper rom it has a senseless option so you can use nova and get stability and some sort of aosp look... Good luck!
Sent from my EVO
Yes, S-off is the way to go if you want to run CM. Otherwise, try meanbean or viper or sharkie or any other sense based Rom. They should work fine.

I have tried to do facepalm. When I put the code in (I'm assuming it goes in the command window), I get messages like "adb not valid command". Even though my phone is most definitely rooted, says unlocked. Should I redownload android-sdk? Thanks again!

ADB commands must be issued when the phone is mounted as media share not as fastboot. Connect your phone as if you were transferring files between it and your pc.
Something new to try since you're on the latest OTA.

I do have it connected to the computer like that. Do you mean I have to go into TWRP and mount it that way? I tried it that way too. I downloaded and whole new android SDK to see if that is the problem. If not, I am going to factory reset my phone and start over. I can't imagine why I was able to root the phone, get it unlocked, but now I can't do anything else with it. Not even get adb commands to recognize it.

This is for tabidee hey I was reading ur stuff on xda developers and I have a question. If u can help if not its cool. Ok so i got my sprint evo and I went to try to root it. I went thru a process that with the steps combined with htcdev site got me to say unlock my bootloader. I used hoot 2.09 and I was supposed to flash this pimg175 zip to i guess install a recovery. Well that won't work at all... I cant get my s on switched to s off and so i am stuck with according to the hoot screen a tampered, unlocked with s on, unrooted phone. I am so confused with all the steps and files I had to download, rename and save to various folders that I gave up. With my phone at its current state what do I do next? I deleted all the files from the day I unlocked it but if you can explain to me... And explain like if I was a five year old cuz I'm that dumbfounded on this subject... But if u can maybe walk me thru the rest of the process or walk me thru a undoing of what I done so far. I'm lisa. My email is [email protected]
Check out the link below. It's a GUI for rooting and has everything you need to get your phone rooted. You'll need to install the recovery first then superuser, which will give you root.

haven't seen anything posted yet. the best places to contact (or be in contact with) revolutionary is their irc channel on freenode, #revolutionary.
it will be interesting to see how they approach supporting the later version, i.e. whether they completely replace the bootloader or exploit htc's unlock method.
we all anxiously await!
Appreciate it. I've been searching for a week now.

I've been looking at these forums everyday for over a month and there's still no root. Does anyone have an idea of how close they are to obtaining root??
Sent from my EVO 3D using XDA App
htc method works for me. its a little annoying to flash a rom (need to do fastboot boot recovery to flash it) but it's still full root and stuff.
the title is a bit misleading. and I hope it breaks through soon
i just got my fone off of ebay today. it was already updated. guess im dead in the water for now
I used HTC's method to unlock and get root, I am on 2.5 and updated as well because my first intentions for the phone was not to root it, and now I am kicking my ass for updating to 1.50 Hboot. But either way, here is how HTC's method has worked for me in case any of you are thinking about doing it and wondering if it is worth the trouble. Yes, it is worth the trouble. Instructions and time to do it all in all wasn't even that bad in my opinion, and now at least I can flash roms (which I have been doing a lot this past week back and fourth). However I want a pure AOSP rom, with pretty much NOTHING sense, no sense dialer apk, contacts apk, evo stock messaging apk... a lot of the "AOSP" roms out there now still have some of these things that I have tried. So basically I want CM 7, cuz that's the best AOSP rom I have ever used... and I downloaded the Alpha build from Toast, but it requires S-OFF.. which doing HTC's method does not turn S-OFF... so it makes me sad So hopefully this gets kickin soon!

I had no idea HTC forces two or more men to engage in sexual acts just to get the boot loader unlocked. That is just not right!
Oh wait, I did the HTC method and had no sexual contact with another male. I think you'll be fine there pal.

But you have no clue what is happening in HTC's server room or software development office. The homosexual acts may be taking place on their side.
BTW, if some tech support person updated my phone for me automatically, I'd tell them I didn't want it and they can change the phone.
Haha, agreed with the user above me!

Here are the instructions I went to and followed and worked just fine. the website requires you to create an account before you view the goodness, but of course that is free. Other than that, you just need to download a few things; one being the HTC Sync program, and a couple of Zip files, but after you do that, follow the instructions and you'll be good to go!

I did the HTC 1.5 "rooting" method successfully.
My problem now is that adb won't recognize my phone when I'm in fastboot (trying to flash ROM/Kernal). If I'm in the ROM it recognizes it, if I'm in recovery it recognizes it, when I did the 1.5 "root" it recognized it.
However when I get to the point of trying to fastboot into recovery it doesn't see it using the "adb devices" command.
I've tried reinstalling SDK several times, I've tried reinstalling the USB drivers several times, I've tried all of it on two different computers (one xp, one windows seven), debugging is allowed and fast boot is not checked.
This is a problem for flashing ROMs AND Kernals obviously.
Any ideas?

that's because you need to use fastboot, not adb, when you're in fastboot. google htc fastboot drivers g1. they're for the g1 but work fine for all other htc phones. put it in the same directory as adb. and the command is
fastboot devices
so yeah, there's your problem

That's your current option at this point in time.
Team Revolutionary has already the patch.. i presume they're working on it and they'll release soon but there's no ETA .. we're on the same boat .. HBOOT 1.49.0011 and 1.50 same exploit tool i guess..
My advice to all - is to wait for team rev's update!
Cheer!
Before anyone gets mad, I know this has been posted before. But i just wanted to confirm everything before getting charged $700.
Today a new rezound came in the mail from verizon. I never ordered one, but my old one is scratched a little so whatever. I have to return it completely to stock. It's s-offed and obviously rooted and unlocked. I heard sometimes it reads relocked and sometimes locked. And i think i need it to say locked, right?
A lot of people just say to flash a stock RUU, is that really all I need to do?
Where do i start? Thank you!
mikeyk101 on droidforums says this:
"This is pretty simple. Just download the RUU for gingerbread and you can find it here: http://goo.im/stock/vigor/ruu You can either download the 2.01.606.11 zip or exe file. If you download the exe, you have to run it on your computer with the phone conected by a data cable. If you use the zip version, put that on your SD card, rename it PH98IMG.zip, restart the phone in bootloader, and let hboot install it. Once that is done, you will be back to fully stock with the exception of the S-off. To make it S-on again, you have to once again go back into bootloader but before you do, delete that PH98IMG.zip file. Then get into fastboot. Make sure that the phone is connected again to your computer by data cable. Hopefully you have a folder on your computer that has adb commands and fastboot. Open up a dos window and CD to the folder where you have the adb, fastboot, etc. Then run the following command: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 That should be all that is needed. Then you will have a fully stock S-on phone."
Is that correct?
It's correct.. even then, they really don't care about root/unlocked bootloaders.

After it is rooted and s-offed, you can simply restore your old backup and be right back where you were before you changed phones.
This I a good question, I am planning on returning my rezound for another one since I'm starting to see dead pixels everywhere. Saves me the time to look it up. Thanks

hey,
I bought HTC amaze 4g in Lahore, Pakistan. When I bought it, it was locked with S-ON and gingerbread v2.3.4 running on it. I waited for few days so i can get an ICS update through OTA but it never happened and there were slim chances that it would happen. Since i bought it here in Pakistan so there was no carrier attached to my phone so my stock ROM is not made for any specific carrier.
Now i have unlocked the phone (HTC BOOTLOADER METHOD) and then rooted my phone as well. So far its working fine with the stock ROM and everything. Now i want to update my amaze to ICS. i have read so much and tried to find some suitable way to achieve this but failed.
Can anyone guide me through this whole procedure with same case scenario as mine?? I have been sitting infront of the laptop for like 2 consecutive days and i have almost lost all hope to see my amaze running ICS ... so if anyone can help me out with this regard i would be very thankful ...

There's no unbranded RUU for the Amaze, so there isn't really any ICS update for you. The only thing you'll have to do is pick the T-Mobile ICS RUU and go on from there.

Thanks alot for your reply. But that is exactly what i want to do and being not able to do ...
Actually let me put my case more appropriately.
1. I want to update my phone to ICS but then again don't want to loose my warranty (which right now is lost as the phone is un locked and rooted). So before going to update my OS i would like to make sure i can un-lock/lock and root/un-root it? un-lock and rooting part is done now its the reverse mechanism i am seeking help with. No custom or stock rom has been flashed on my bootloader so far.
i have CWM recovery installed on my phone i have made a backup of my phone through it, which i saved on my pc as well as the phone storage now that would be my stock roms image please correct me if i am wrong?
2. And then in the second step i would like to update my os to ICS for that reason i had visited this thread
[Collection] HTC Ruby/Amaze 4G Stock ROMs (RUUs & OTAs)
Thread By: krook6023
and from here i can download the RUU you are talking about right? But wouldn't the software build or kernel version difference make it un successful updation?
if not then i will download one of those RUU's but guide me through with the next steps actually required to update it currently the phone is Un-locked, rooted and S-ON.
I know i am being too naive about things but this is my first android device and i really don't want to mess it up but that doesn't mean i haven't done research i have been reading stuff but as long as i don't get it done once by my hand i think i wont be comfortable doing it, hence require guidance.
Thanks in advance.

put the RUU into the root of the sdcard, it must be named PH85IMG.zip to be detected so rename it if it isnt.
turn off fastboot if its on (find it yourself) power off the phone and then power it on by holding pwr and down on the volume key
OR turn off the phone and then pull the battery, replace and power on using pwr and volume down. Then you will see the menu and choose fastboot it will check the RUU and take a long time then it will say press a key to flash the update, do it. wait a while. even if it seems to take a while dont pull the battery. when the phone boots do the setup and then in google market get ES file explorer and use it to rename the PH85IMG.zip to PH85IMG_1.zip or something so it wont detect it and start the long RUU check if you just want to get into the recovery.
I leave the RUU on my sd card just renamed cause ive had some funny problems and this can save your ass
hope this helped,

Hey,
Well i can help you with unlocking bootloader but i haven't done S-Off mine is still S-On. For unlocking your bootloader i am attaching this word file for you which contains all the steps that are required to unlock your bootloader.
And yes everything on your phones internal memory get wiped once you unlock the and reboot your phone. But things stored on the external memory wont be touched they will stay intact. So before unlocking do make a backup of all your applications and store it on your pc and later on put it back on your sd card and download the recovery software you used before to make backup to do restore this time... Hope that would help you.
Isnt your method for 2.3.6? This guy has ics. I have the same tmobile one I simply used hasoon tool to unlock bootloader install recovery and root. Havent done s=off yet. I dont see the point of s=off and supercid yet. Still confused as to if I need them or not

Hi,
Well with regard to just unlocking bootloader the method i sent him would work just fine whether it is ICS or GG. But to install recovery and rooting you need extra steps which he didn't asked for and yes you can do that with the hasoon all in one tool kit.
Can you tell me how you got s-off is wire trick the only way? If so youtube is blocked how can I get that video

Well daniyal i haven't done S-Off yet as i wrote in my previous posts and what i have read in the articles and discussions its a little cumbersome method to achieve that since i haven't done it myself. For youtube part if you want to use youtube you can download and use hotspot shield. Just download it and connect it and it will allow you to use youtube. I hope this helps you.
Also studying in Pakistan and a question does your phone have tmobile logo? If so then do the ph85img method mentioned earlier (don't worry it won't mess up your device) and you don't really need to s-off if you use 4ext recovery which is the best imo. Right now I am on vacation (back in us) but I come back first week of january if you still can't figure this out or feel too scared just call me up (I will pm you my number) and I can walk you through it on the phone quite simple (and if you want to s-off and I can help you with that too) would do it personally if you were in karachi...

Well this is great to have some to talk to in person. It would be doubly great if you could help out with the original questions i posted in the start of my thread. Thanks.
If you want to update it to ICS, most likely, you will have to S-Off it, as there are probably no RUUs that will work with your phone's CID.
It would be helpful if you told us what your CID was. To obtain the CID code from your phone, use the included attachment, extract it to an accessible location, and then boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode, not the BOOTLOADER mode. After you boot in there, plug in the USB cable to the computer.
After you've done that, double click on the file, CID.bat
Let the command run, and then go in the folder where you extracted the files to, and there should be a file called CIDNUMBER.log. Copy the result and then post it here.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there is a RUU you can use with that CID.
It *IS* possible to have the phone update to ICS, but what is *NOT* possible (as of now, because of no RUU for your CID), is to have the phone downgrade back to GB if you need it for warranty purposes. In this scenario, it's an one way street.
You have 2 options really, to leave your phone as is, or to S-OFF the phone in order to update the phone to ICS.

In either case to update to ICS or to get the locked (not relocked) status back with S-on for warranty purposes i need to do S-off isn't that right?
Well for now my amaze is unlocked and rooted so warranty is out of the window and i cant get it back to locked status it always says relocked so i would like to move forward and then with the help of guys like you i would like to get back to original stock if possible.
so whats the next step for me to get my phone to ICS? If i have to do S-off whats the easiest way of achieving it and after achieving it what are the next steps to perform upgradation?
I have a question. I have s-on and rooted my phone and installed twrp while having unlocked bootloader. I want to install 4ext as someone told me thats better on here. Do i have to uninstall twrp or I can just use hansoon tool to install 4ext and it will over right twrp?

Do share your findings when you do that....
My Evo has been completely trashed and I have no clue what to do.
I have hboot 1.19 s-on and I did the HTCdev unlock, and I rooted it and have the latest version TWRP (i think 2.3.something) with SuperSU installed. I tried to flash a ROM that was supposed to be compatible with with I had but i guess not. Everything was going great but I was stuck on the CM boot screen. After about 30 min of it sitting in that screen I figured something was wrong so i reset it and went back into TWRP. Someone told me to download MeanRom and flash that because its kernel and rom would fix everything. Here's where things get weird. I download MeanRom to my computer and mount my phone in TWRP to move the file over to the phone and when i went to factory reset before flashing it it kept saying unable to mount SD card and Internal Storage. I tried to do a restore my phone to an old back up and that wouldnt even work. So I wipe both caches and try to flash MeanRom anyway. i got a failed error and my phone shut off. Now my phone will only go into the Fastboot thing on the white screen and when i try to go into recovery, it just stays on the TWRP loading screen, not even letting me into the recovery program.
Is there anyway to fix this? My best buy insurance has expired because i missed 3 payments since I'm away at school and not working a whole bunch. So my whole smash it to pieces and get a new one solution is no longer an option.
I'm on a mac by the way so is there something I can enter into terminal to fix this? I don't care about losing any files or anything I'll do whatever I have to, to fix this.
Thanks in advance

Read om4's guide don't panic...hboot 119 s-on you have to flash kernels separately.

I ran into the same problem. Word for word, really. I use a Mac, too. I went through HTCdev unlock, tried to flash a CM10 nightly and ran into a boot loop. No matter what I did, it was stuck. I couldn't restore to a nandroid backup because internal storage wouldn't mount. Couldn't do anything. All I had access to was bootloader and TWRP recovery.
I don't know the specifics of how this fixed it (I'm nothing close to a developer), but this is what I did to get out of it. You will need access to a Windows machine onto which you can download things.
1) If you still have access to fastboot, unroot your phone to stock. Completely stock.
2) Use DirtyRacun S-OFF (you'll need a Windows computer for this). Go through the whole process.
3) Re-root.
Nothing I tried fixed it until I started fresh. I couldn't tell you how it worked, but if you're desperate you really have nothing to lose but a little bit of time by doing the same thing I did.
Hope you get this figured out.

How would i unroot if I cant get into SuperSU since i cant boot up my phone? Do I need to do that first or can i just run the RUU without Going into SuperSU and hitting Unroot?
Also what do I need windows for? Getting S-OFF? Or unrooting?
Also thank you! I really hope this work!
Relock your phone from fastboot then run the RUU. Now you're completely stock.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. But how do i re-lock it from fastboot?
U have to use the cmd window on your windows computer. I did it with mine before I ran dirty racun. It is a simple command but u have to be in the right directory ind the cmd line. Go through and look at the dirty racun guide and it tells u how to re-lock word for word I believe.

What's funny is that all you had to do with s-on is flash the boot.IMG from the ROM via fastboot, just like the first reply said to.
You're doing more work right now than you needed to.
I realize this is a little late, but if you're still having trouble and you're still s-on, go read om4's guide, or get s-off.
If you want to stick with s-on, you will have to fastboot flash the boot.IMG files from the ROM manually.

Yeah i couldn't figure out how to do that. I would ask a question on how to do that and i just kept on getting the response of "google it" "look it up on youtube" or look in the forums. and I wasn't ever sure really where to find it because all my searches for it came up useless.
I just did the RUU on my phone and its finally back up and running! What a relief!!!
Now I'm going to try to get DirtyRacun s-off. How do I put a Custom Rom on my phone with S-off?
With s-off you just flash it in twrp..no extra steps

I wish I'd ran into you when I had the same problem. I wasn't trying to make things more complicated for him, just telling him that when it happened to me, I went back to stock, went with S-OFF, and everything worked fine. At the very least I figured he probably would have just wanted his phone back.

No. You helped me soooooo much! I was literally about to sell my phone for parts or something because everything went wrong that could go wrong and on top of that I couldn't find anything at all on how to fix it. I just did what you said and my phone is fixed! I want to go s-off now but dirtyracun doesn't support windows 7 with 64 bit, it only supports windows 7 with 32bit which I don't have access to. So i'm trying to find another way that is reliable to go S-OFF. It seems like S-OFF is the way to go and it makes everything easier.
If I cant find out how to go S-OFF with the windows 7 64 bit computer, then I guess i'll go S-on HTCdev unlock again and hopefully figure out how to manually flash the ROM or whatever it is that you do with S-ON.

There is an app in the market called Flash Image GUI to use it all you have to do is click on browse in the app search where ever you downloaded your Rom or kernel select it and it will extract and flash the boot.IMG for you. So if you are s on and wanna flash a aosp Rom you can first flash the kernel using the app then it gives you the option to boot directly in to recovery then install as usual wipe system ,data, both caches and flash your Rom that you extracted the kernel from. You can also just flash just a kernel if you want to OC.

Okay so here's whats happens for me.
When i go bigdaddy's way: I put the MeanRom zip on my phone from my computer (MeanRom v64 or what ever the latest one is) I factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic chache, and then go to install find the app and swipe to flash.. everything seems fine until i get an error and fail. It also says there is no MD5 file when i do this.
When I go dandan's way: I have the MeanRom zip on my phone (i've tried this with v64 *or whatever the latest one is* and v34) then i go into flash image GUI and go through finding it and everything. Then i get an error right above the Flash Image button saying "zip file must contain only one of the following: recovery.img, zimage, or a type of boot.img!" On my computer I unzipped the file and looked inside and all I see the boot.img and some folders but no recover or zimage so i dont know what it is talking about.
I really dont want to go through the processes of unrooting and relocking my phone again so i want to do this right. Any help from here on out would be greatly appreciated!
If someone could give me a step by step to follow or something for putting the Latest version of MeanRom on my phone that would be great!! I think i read somewhere that you have to put on the old version of MeanRom first. If that is so, could you also include how i would go about updating from the old version to the new one?
(If you're going to help me please make sure your method supports the HTC EVO 4G LTE on hBoot 1.19 Software v. 2.13.651.1 71ORD HTCdev Unlocked and Rooted with SuperSU and TWRP. (GooManager, and Flash Image GUI are installed to)

I know this post is really long and I probably put waaayyy more information then I actually needed to but I just want to be safe. It seems like everything I try for putting any Roms on my phone goes wrong with an error or failed message and I really want to do this.
I should never have flashed my Evo 3D. I had no experience, but a buddy of mine talked me into it. It worked fine for a good while, but now...it just reboots itself randomly, and then freezes during the boot screen. I have to pull the battery to reset. I also can't use TONS of apps that I'd really like to have. Smart Glass, My Xbox 360, Bad Piggies, etc...

All I want to do is go back to a stock Sprint ROM. I'd like to get the latest OTA if possible. I tried that as well, but it just searches forever. I let it go overnight once, and woke up 9 hrs later, and the thingy was still spinning.
Anyway... Any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED! This thing is driving me crazy. I'll be getting a Note II soon, but I can't take this ROM anymore,

EDIT: Almost forgot... It isn't that I haven't tried anything. I grabbed a Stock ROM off of PPCGeeks, and connected my 3vo to my laptop. I ran the .exe, but it said it failed. I also got a different ROM, put it on the ROOT of my SD Card, navigated to the .zip in Recovery, and initiated a flash. Every attempt ended with the phone rebooting with the same old Synergy ROM. Once booted, I got a bunch of pop-up messages saying that various programs weren't able to run, or something like that. However, these programs included Sense, Phone, etc...

Follow this guide through Step1 and you will be 100% stock on the current Sprint ICS ROM. If any of the apps you want to run require root then you can complete Step2 as well. Since Step3 is for gaining S-OFF I doubt that you would need to do that in your situation.

THANKS! I'll give it a shot, and report back. I REALLY appreciate the help, good sir.
UPDATE: Yup...this is exactly what I did last night. All that happens is that it tells me it failed, and then reboots back to how it was. I just read a troubleshooting section, and it says to check if the bootloader is unlocked, and that if it is (via HTCDev) that it will stop this method from working. I'm pretty sure this is what's messing this up for me. However, they give no explanation as to how someone can change this. I don't even know where to look to make sure it's locked...

I just tried reading a tut, but it doesn't even say how to do this, and it also says that if it isn't done correctly, it will brick my phone. He says there is never a reason to go back to 'stock'.

If you want, i can help you get your phone to stock Gingerbread or ics fully locked and unrooted via team viewer or something..... Pm me your gmail address if you want. I'm 99% sure It won't brick or anything but then again I take no responsibility . STRANGE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED .....

Well, the thing is... I understand everything but re-locking this boot loader. That's all I have to do for this to work, but I just don't understand that thread at all. It's just gibberish to me. I mean, is it a program I have to use? Do I type something in? IDK... That thread is pretty hard to understand if you have no knowledge of this stuff.
I found this: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/9322-how-to-relocked-hboot-htc-root-method/ ...but it doesn't do anything when I type in the cmd.
Mogul, you could find a stock rooted Rom that would be essentially the same thing as returning to stock without having to relock. I'm sure RamJet will have a link as I'm at a restaurant ignoring my girlfriend.

He won't be able to take OTA updates from sprint if he don't relock.

You need to download the rootevo3dnew.zip attached in the link you posted above. Then extract it somewhere. If you are using win xp open cmd and navigate to that folder in cmd. If you are using newer version of windows then hold shift and right click the folder which you just extracted and click "open command window here." and then connect phone in fastboot mode and type the "fastboot oem lock". Then reboot the bootloader, you will re locked instead of unlocked at the top. Now you can run the ruu.
Or hit me up on gtalk when you have 20-30 mins time, i will guide you.
