Now you have unlocked bootloader and soff.
Do you need help with installing a custom recovery and then installed a custom rom?

No. I got all that done. Just was having trouble unlocking the bootloader. But I got it. Thanks though!

[Q] S-OFF with HBOOT 1.08.0000

When I saw the news for the HTC Thunderbolt ICS update finaly out I got so excited, I returned my phone to stock, ran the update, and was happy... not thinking "what if they update the HBOOT"...well THEY DID. Stupid me for not waiting one more day for the rooted release! So now Im unable to acheive S-OFF as my HBOOT is now 1.08.0000.
Perhaps its too soon to be asking this, but is there a way to S-OFF the new HBOOT?
Nope you're Sol until an exploit is found. Oh and there is an if there too because I don't know how much interest there will be in finding an exploit for an old device.

Well if anything came out of this, we now know for certain the results of accepting the update and hopefully warn others. I have to take this phone into best buy for repairs, and seeing as I already did this once and they just gave me a (defective) refurbished model, they most likely will do it again.
HBroot off
I have been able to get S-off via HTCdev after I requested the code to unlock the bootloader. I am stuck now with root and I would love to know if somebody knows how to push the root onto the ICS stock rom?

That can't be done. If you're s off flash the ics radios in Santods post in the developer section and then flash the ics rom.

I've tried it and it will not stick. Not sure why but I wish I had waited for the rooted rom before going back to stock and getting the OTA update.

Since I have been able to get the bootloader unlocked, I should be able to get root somehow.

Yes you should be able to flash superuser in recovery to get root. You won't be able to use the stock ICS ROM though if you're still s off

I had the OTA and after the update got S-OFF via HTCdev's site. I tried to flash a custom recovery but it will not stick. Any clue why?

You're still s on but unlocked like I thought. I don't have the link off hand but have you tried the all in one tool?

Yes but the tool (Thunderbolt tool) does not handle HBoot 1.08 at the moment. I wish it would because this would solve my problem
Find the thread that has the fastboot flash able form of cwm and then get back to me. I'm thinking that the root method may be different now though so I'm worried an ordinary version of superuser won't work.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I decided to take the plunge, and perform the OTA, after that hopped over to HTCDev to get the bootloader unlock to root. Flashed the handy dandy CWM recovery from fastboot, and rebooted into recovery. Flashed the SuperUser package. Guess What? No ROOT.

Then that says the root method is different.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I did a fastboot and flashed frev3vo, and ran adb shell.....although I wasn't root at the prompt, I was able to su root from adb shell, but I don't know at this point how to get back to root. I probably can't load an RUU either cause I lost S-OFF.
Try flashing this one in recovery. http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip?retrieve_file=1

Problem Solved. I had been installing the superuser.zip package to get root, but the SuperSU solved my problem, now I just have to get S-OFF again at some point, but for now I am happy root!!!! That Fixed IT

noob question

I have an GSM unlocked HTC One with bootloader unlocked. I didnt use lost the function of calc or sound recorder when unlocking that i have read. My question is will i still be able to receive OTA updates? and is there a very simple way to go back to stock or get the google play edition?
If you do anything to modify your phone you will not be able to accept OTA updates but you can always flash ruu's as long as you re lock the bootloader before you try to flash it. (which is also how you got to stock.) And currently the only way to run the play edition software is by flashing a custom Rom

So if I relock my bootloader and flash a stock ATT Ruu i will be able to accept the OTA updates? (if i understand you correctly)
I have only unlocked the sim and unlocked the bootloader via HTCDEV.com no rooting
Yes that's correct, SIM unlocking shouldn't affect anything, just the bootloader

You said you were on the stock Rom right? You probably can get away with just locking the bootloader. As for the ruu designgears has a thread in general

ok so I did that but now my wifi don't work and the sim card don't read right, under setting it still says 1.15, I'm guessing I just need to flash a 2.06 rom and I'll be good?

The downgrade is out there, DO NOT POST A LINK TO IT!!!! The thread will get closed again. Use your googling skills.
Has anyone tried this method with the bootloader unlocked? I'm just confused why the bootloader has to be re-locked.

When you run an RUU the bootloader has to be locked. You can always unlock it again. The HTC One toolkits make it really easy. Just save your email with the unlock.bin
Hello OP, may I ask which toolkit did you use to re-lock bootloader? Thanks!
Yeah it works. Im now s-off

i was in the same boat... make sure you are running the "ARUWizard" from the extracted folder and not the zip file. also do "fastboot reboot-bootloader" without the quotations. also update your drivers just to make sure. i got mine from hasoon's toolkit

Let's keep this about the info only please and not about banned members etc.

Yes the folder after you unzip the .zip file. Then go into the data files and run the application I told you.
Nope that reboots bootloader to ensure you are good to go.

[Q] HTC Droid dna bricked

Does anyone know to unbrick a droid dna. bootloader is locked and s-on with hboot 1.33. does anyone know how to unbrick it.
If it is still S-on, I'm pretty sure it's darn near impossible to really brick a DNA. How about some more details? How'd you get into this predicament? What did you do that caused the alleged brick? What have you tried to fix it?

I did not brick phone I figured out but I thought I did from a failed moonshine attempt. But then I was scared and was wondering what would happen if I bricked my droid dna with s-on and a locked bootloader. Is there a solution?

This happened with mine, but i was going back S-on and achieved s-on and locked but then forgot i still had CM on it. Tried the RUU several times and then tried flashing the extracted and decrypted .zip file via fastboot and through an error every time. something about the bootloader and then would stop.
Pretty sure im bricked 100% ive tried just about everything.
freezes at the white HTC screen and never gets past.

Read the thread. Although it doesn't have a radio and firmware. But u should have radio and if it doesn't work with moonshine just flash the firmware in moonshine thread.
