I am on 1.73 rooted. I am not unlocked. There are so many different questions it is confusing. Hoping someone can help. Since I am only rooted on 1.73 can I just upgrade to 1.85 and then unlock and then root? Just that simple? All that lock re-lock downgrading upgrading yada yada. I think I just need to Ruu the 1.85 then unlock then root in that order. Would that be correct? Thank you for your help.

Correction, you need to root before you unlock, it's a prerequisite. Also, rooting 1.85 seems like a bit of a pain right now...You may be better off waiting for a one-click solution if you can.
Take a backup of your user data with the instructions in this thread. Then unlock (user data wiped), and relock in order to upgrade. Then install the 1.85 RUU (user data wiped again). Unlock again, use the same token (user data wiped yet again). Install CWM and then root through CWM. Finally, restore your user data according to the thread.
You'll be on 1.85, the latest, rooted and unlocked, with all your data, apps, and settings 100% intact.
Does 1.85 work with rogers?

I believe it's an AT&T leak only.

Noob to htc here.. I previously owned a skyrocket before i made the switch to this beautiful phone, and i gotta say the skyrocket is a very noob friendly phone. All I had to do was root, get cwm, and flash roms. So you can imagine all this bootloader stuff is a bit overwhelming. Anyways, I would love to update to 1.85. but ive already rooted/unlocked bootloader. So now i must re-lock it to install 1.85? I've tried to moved to 1.85 three times now from 1.73 with no luck and the bit about re-locking my phone confuses me. Care to elaborate? I've tried searching a lot of the threads in the def section but dear lord those threads get long fast..

Haha, yeah samsungs are like that. I had a captivate and my parents have a skyrocket and a note. This phone's design beats everything by far.
Go into the folder where you downloaded your one click unlock, open a command prompt, put the phone into bootloader and type "fastboot oem lock" to relock. After you upgrade, do the same but type "fastboot flash unlocktoken (name of your unlock file)" to unlock again.

Is there any advantage of backing up the data with that method instead of using something like tibu

You need to relock your bootloader again before it will allow you to upgrade, once the upgrade is complete you can unlock it again. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675312

Is it necessary to unlock your bootloader in the first place, can't you just upgrade from 1.73 to 1.85 without unlocking and then re-locking?

Nope, it is not necessary to unlock your bootloader to upgrade to 1.85. But if you plan to unlock it at all, you need to unlock it before upgrading because you cannot get root access on 1.85 without having CWM Recovery installed. The guy I replied to already unlocked his before upgrading so he needs to relock it to install 1.85
Okay I thought you had to be unlocked before uping to 1.85 because there is no root for now on 1.85 but if you have an unlocked boot then you can root through cwm..
There is alot of confusing info here. locked, unlocked rooted, relocked... I have a new phone, just activated it, want to unlock and root. I havn't done anything yet.
1) should I wait until official update, download update, then unlock, root?
2)root, unlock, flash ruu?
3) other
Thanks for any help

the latest leaked update 1.85 isn't rootable so if you want to unlock your bootloader and get in on that fun you should go ahead and do it rather than wait.

i'm still on 1.73 and looking to root only for the purpose of being able to install root-only apps, and not for the purpose of flashing custom roms. if you say that 1.85 isn't rootable, does this mean i should root before getting the update (whenever it becomes available from Rogers)? and if i do take this route, will the update unroot my phone?

1.85 is possible to root and Bootloader unlock. First root your phone ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167)
Then use this tool ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672284 ). That will unlock your bootloader and install SuperCID (that's why we do it, for SCID).
After unlocked, you must relock your bootloader, flash 1.85 RUU, then unlock again, flash cwm, and flash Superuser ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676101 ).
Good luck. It can happen, it's just a long process.

That method is incompatible with 1.85. You will receive an error when trying to root it with that.
With all the bootloader unlocking and flashing up to different RUU's, etc..
Will there be a way that someone might be able to come up with a procedure to revert back to complete stock?
Just wondering if you get going flashing roms and encounter a problem where you will need to exchange or take back your phone, a way to get it to stock form.
thanks
1.change you cid back to your original one.
2. relock your bootloader.
3. flash a ruu..

Has anyone came up with a way to change the cid back to stock
and I thought if you were on 1.85, you simply couldnt flash a prior ruu

one you have unlocked your bootloader, your phone will either say unlocked or relocked. There's nothing that we can do about that. even if you changed the CID back to the AT&T one.
SuperCID means you can flash any RUU you want

So I guess the best we can do is flash the stock ruu at the time and relock it and hope for the best.

you worried about returning a phone? It's been my experience that they don't look.
so my brother gave me this phone but he updated to 2.2 with ATT, is there anyway at all to flash back with ruu 1.85 so that i can unlock my bootloader and flash cm10
Yes, it is possible to revert back to 1.85.
We just havent figured out exactly how at this point :beer:
Hi everyone. Well, i`m not totally noob, but i`m not a developer. Because the language i dont understand somethings, my english its not sooo good.
I`ve successfully unlock htc amaze 4g, htc desire hd, so i know how to follow instructions as well. My problem is:
I`ve bought a HOX AT&T Locked, and before get the unlock code, i unlock the bootloader and rooted the phone follow this steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957193
Everything its OK, i'm with the JELLYBAM ROM, and everything works fine. But when i put the unlock code, it didn't work. Says that failure.
The man who sends me the unlock code saids that the phone have to be in the stock rom to work.
SO, my question is what the correct steps to follow now to get my stock rom back.
My hboot its 1.14
My old stock ROM its 2.2
Its only follow these steps?

I Need to relock the booatloader?
Thank you in advance. And sorry for my english, i'm from Brazil.
yes relock your bootloader and while you are in bootloader hook your phone to your computer you should see fastbootusb come up then run the ruu and when it is doen your phone will be like out of box stock
you don't need to be stock, you just need to be on a sense rom
i wouldn't run the ruu just to have to reunlock and all that later, but if you run into problems later you do have to relock your bootloader to run the ruu. you run "fastboot oem lock" and then run the ruu from fastboot screen.

So i have to relock the bootloader before flash the rom.. OK, i will search how to relock it.
And to install the stock rom? Its just run the .exe file while i`m at the boatloader?
