[Q] question about bubby's guide

Is the second post that has the download for bubby's program the one i need to get if i am trying to root? I do have the new gingerbread official leak installed, but i decided it wasnt fast enough so decided to root.
thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961406
If not, do i need to use another tool, and where can i find it?
Please and thanks! (i would've posted this in the above thread, but im still under 10 posts so cant post in the development forum)

I used it to root. His program runs you through everything, including the gold card stuff. Once you're finished, just flash whatever you want.

kk, well i just downloaded it just to see if my antivirus would quarantine rage like people said it would (i use avast internet security), but i checked the virus chest and all it has in it is some stuff from awhile back. Does this mean rage didnt get quarantined, or did avast just not even let me see the rage quarantine?

Wait, you have the AT&T (Cingular 2.47.502.7) GB ROM Installed as-is stock on a non-rooted Inspire? If so, then currently no rooting methods will work for you. You'll need to do it by hand with fre3vo instead of rage or psneuter.

ah kk, thank you. From what i have read Fr3vo is only a temp root, is that true? cause im going for full root so i can get a kingdom rom (it seems the fastest from what ive seen, and it has sense 3.0, which is a + for me)

Yeah its for temp root but you need temp root first in order to trick your phone into a downgrade then achieve full soff

ah kk, i think i will just wait a bit until bubby's is updated to be able to root my phone cause i dont wanna brick it on my first root ever. I'd probably ask someone here just to guide me through it through IM or something, but i tend to not be on at times when most would probably be on.

You think bubby is going to update this? I haven't seen that guy on these threads....ever actually since he stopped supporting it by the time I got here a few months ago.

ATTN1 might update his method...he's around from time to time, and it's a better method than Bubby's anyway. But yeah I'm sure anybody who comes up with a scripted solution will be welcome with open arms .

I just heard from ATTN1 that he's tested Fre3vo and it works on Inspire and will be part of the next revision to the hack kit.
Meanwhile, I'm nearly finished with my all-in-one factory S-ON complete factory reset tool.

I don't see why it should matter. A gold card is a gold card.

Ok, so i had gotten the exception error message, and i found it out. the adb.exe from my first time of opening the program was still running, and stopping the CID process from running.

I'm not taking a shot at your english but from the sounds of it you rooted, you had a custom ROM installed? and then you put in your sim and re-ran the hack kit? I'm not 100% sure what you actually did but if the hack kit ran and you were rooted and using the rcmix rom, running the hack kit again is explicitly stated not a good idea and will jam you up. If you did this, consult the IRC chat room in the OP of the Hack Kit Thread, I'm sure attn1 and those guys have seen this situation before.

Ido not know how to enter IRC chat.. I tried it and not let me write anything

My friend, if you cannot enter an IRC chatroom, rooting your phone and installing ROMs may be a little out of your league then. I just clicked the link, typed in any username I want,typed the verification code in and I was able to enter the chatroom and type.

Can you get to hboot by powering up holding volume down and power button at the same time. Ifso see if it is s-off? If so you might be able to enter rocovery this way and flash a rom.
Usually when I have an issue with a rom or phone I flash the stock rooted att rom (pd98 zip) and start over with changing the rom. Sorry I can't give you the zip file I'm on the road all day today but if you search q&a section you will find it.
Hope it helps.

what it sounds like this user did was ran the hack kit and rooted fine (assumption), the mention of the RCmix ROM makes me believe he installed the ROM and then realized the SIM card wasn't in, so for some reason he/she ran the hack kit again? which if you read the OP of the hack kit, Attn1 explicitly states don't do that or you will get jammed up. I'm assuming Attn1 can fix this quickly since I imagine this issue has happened on more then one occasions and he'll be a better resource to fix this rather then us trying to troubleshoot this from the trial and error side. But if this user cannot get into the IRC chatroom, there isn't much more any of us can do.

So true some people just want to jump into situations without researching. We try to help I dont like to see someone turning their phone into a $400 paper weight lol

agreed. if people dont research HOW to root the phone, likely they dont know WHY to root the phone.

So if I can enter HBOOT. but when I try to enter recoveryel phone does the same. htc logo appears and disappears until it almost off the screen ..

and yes is it s-off.

There's a thread at the top of the Inspire General forum that explains exactly how to fix this. It's been there for a month. Do your research and you'll find the answers you need.

If the rooting process worked correctly.
Here is the rooted updated ATT Gingerbread ROM. Just place PD98 in root of SD card then go into bootloader and let it do its thing. When it ask to install volume up for yes. AS ADVICED " RESEARCH"
Place it in the root of your SD card (you will have to remove SD card and use adapter to move zip file to root of SD card if PC does not recognize phone with USB cable) and power phone off then power back up holding down power button and volume down button at same time. Phone should go to bootloader then it will recognize the PD98 zip file and ask if you want to istall. Volume up for yes and it will do its thing. No need to try to get into recover phone will do it itself with the PD98 zip file. Zip is (ATT ROM 2.47.502.7 w/Radio - 26.10.04.03_M)
This is for Rooted Stck ROM
http://www.fileserve.com/file/RtVn4Re/PD98IMG.zip
NO NEED TO RENAME JUST DOWNLOAD AND PLACE IN ROOT OF SD
Hope it helps
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT ANYTHING ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING.

Then you can flash a custom ROM if you like.

Been there
same thing happened to me, tried flashing cm7, it got stuck in an infinite loop so I did the same thing and had to get a new phone.
Just make up an alibi don't tell them u rooted and make sure there is no damage to ur phone. They just gave me a refurb phone and now I am using RCmix3d.
my parents took my phone away, spending too much time on it lol

Sorry if I'm totally off base here but I do believe reading on XDA somewhere that with the HTC One series phones when you unlock the bootloader it locks the phone from being able to flash recoverys.
This is the reason why I have waited to do the bootloader unlock I didnt want to screw myself from ever being able to flash custom roms.

you have to use this unlock method for the bootloader so why would it screw anything else up? It opens up all possibilities, not close them.

Nope. I have flashed CWM recovery at least 4 times on an international One X AFTER unlocking the bootloader. I wish that were it....
I think you may be thinking of firmware, which is a real mess, because unlocking your bootloader can set your CID to "none", and thus, you can't flash different firmware (i.e., an EU firmware on an Asian phone)...not that that would matter for these carrier-branded phones...

Good job and great progress. Unfortunately, none of us AT&T users can join in on the fun.

If that was completely true, then the Tegra 3 model's would not have cwm recovery... yet they do.
We just havent figured out a working method for ours.

i think what Killathehnoob is trying to say is that its only the ROGERS version of the ONE X that when unlocking the BLer HTC has somehow lock the other partitions so that custom recoveries and kernels are not able to be flashed to the phone...which essentially could be the case because all they said they will "unlock" the BLer...BUT they never said they would NOT do anything else in the process. maybe its a possibillity that has been over looked...just THINK TANKING is all

I understand what you mean
I wonder if the fact that its new proprietary qualcomm chip is the reason why its being 'limited'... so we may have to rethink the whole initialization process.
we cant even get to the point that the logcat is able to start logging. So we're flying blind.
We've extended the time between loading to the soft reboot after the flash... but that doesnt tell us much.

Interesting. I think the lack is fastboot boot is what they are referring to. This would prevent custom kernel development on an s-off device, but should still allow flashing of insecure stock boot images, as with the int. HOX, althoug i read it again, anf maybe they are talking about more than that. I am not sure that the article is saying that there is something different with the Rogers version vs other versions, but it seems like there may be, and obviously with the Att version. I think I will spend a day just reading, trying to pick other devs' brains, and start fresh...thanks for the input.

OK, that's what I was hoping to do. I noticed in the JB instructions that it said I must be a stock RUU not a custom ROM or something to that effect. I am on CWM 5.Something so a rom flash is NP. Any recommended ROMs? I.e One that worked for you? I tried the wire trick about 100 times over the course of an hour or so(on cm9.1), but then reread the bit shout the rom again.
Thanks for all the responses so far!

Any stock based ROM will do. I went with MikTouch myself and it worked like a charm! (on the 4th try so be patient....)

yeah, Ive been running root since my MT3G way back when...couldnt stand how laggy that thing was with all the bloat... wasnt even that great with CM6 but still night and day better than stock (=hooked on rooting). then upgraded to the MT4g and now this thing... was fairly concerned about all the extra hoops but wouldve just chosen another platform had I borked it...glad I didnt, saved me some funds!
On a related note, what radios are you guys running? Are there any issues between the GB radios and ICS ones? Im assuming so, but with the custom ROMs/kernels anything should be able to be overcome I'm hoping... I know I def. had issues on CM7 -> CM9 on the reg. 4G when swapping radios...

I don't generally swap my radios around since there are only two that I'm aware of. But I DID find that the new one (when I replaced my phone) seemed to lock a signal a bit quicker but for me the original radio gets MUCH better phone reception. Depends on your phone I suppose.
(you'll be glad you went with this phone though. basically a Sensation with a keyboard)

cool, I just flashed the older one today... been having really crappy recption on campus lately (esp. since switching from the MT4G) better reception is what I'd rather have... ill give this one a week or so and see if I think its any better... I like the phone a lot already... i still use the soft keyboard from time to time as I forget the other one is there, but it comes in really handy on certain sites...

Hello guys, I've been lurking the forums for hours trying to find a thread with an issue close to mine, and this is the closest I got. I followed all the necessary steps on the first page, but the problem I'm having is when I try to flash the PG59IMG.zip file, it says "Loading... PG59IMG.zip", but then it says "Checking....PG59IMG.zip" and afterwards it says "Wrong zipped image!" Any ideas what it could mean? I just want to get it back to stock. Any help is greatly appreciated.

THIS MAY HELP YOU

Thanks for the link. It said I need to relock the phone in order to flash the image, but when i type "fastboot oem lock" into command prompt, I get a message saying 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, inoperable program or batch file." I'm guessing this means my fastboot wasn't set up correctly, but I don't know where to go from here. As always, thanks again for any help or advice.

It was made for the g2 so don't use the drivers in it, but it will at least give you an idea of what to do

Does fastboot work like this
./fastboot oem lock
On my PC some of my fastboot commands need that.

Thanks so much for your help guys. I followed the instructions on the pathing link, and the phone is currently flashing the image. I'll post a final time once I can confirm everything is fine.

Bricked HTC One X

Hey guys.....
I tried flashing IceColdJelly on my HTC One X ATT and i was rushing and i just remembered a notice before i rebooted the phone that it says there was no OS something something to this rom and i clicked OK and it attempted to reboot. Now its not turning on at all. Cannot get into download mode or ANYTHING. Don't tell me to try pressing any more buttons because i've been doing that for the past 3 hours. I know my way around phones and this is my biggest problem i've ever faced. I put in the phone to the computer and it recognizes it but has 3 beeps after basically cannot do anything to the phone. I have TWRP recovery on it btw. Basically, its a paperweight. Cannot turn on a single freaking thing. Please help. I cannot thank you guys enough if you can help in any way....
Thanks.

You can recover if you had anything less than hboot 1.14 so if you were on software 2.20 before you rooted your out of luck

Taking the time to research before flashing a ROM that is not even meant for your phone would have saved a lot of heartache:

I thought the ICJ Bricking Crew was no more. I guess those clowns are trying to make a comeback.

I have downgraded using JET from 1.14 to 2.20. Process includes bricking your phone to get into special recovery mode that give RW access to hboot, but you do need TWRP at some point I think (not sure though) to get in bricked, before you start downgrade, so you might not be able to downgrade.
However, I don't think you are SOL. Look into manual steps of downgrading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32761598&postcount=107
OP gives you there way to verify that device is connected and part of the steps is listing partitions. If you can get partitions listed on your PC, then I think you can just dd system image and it should come back to life... also have you tried 2.20 RUU? I had a corrupted system partition (bad sector causing reboot when I would try to access system - including booting phone or into twrp recovery). I ended up using RUU (which also failed from the same bug, but It actually reformatted my system partition giving me access to twrp and then I was able to restore).

This method will not work because he's corrupted his extended partition table. All that's left is the write-protected hboot, which the processor can't find because the partition table is gone. So he can't boot into recovery.
People have been working on this issue for a long time and there is currently no solution if you're on 2.20.
To the OP, where did you get a copy of ICJ? The latest version is supposed to contain asserts to prevent flashing on this phone. You can get this repaired by HTC for $150 or something. Or, if your ethics allow it, people have played dumb and gotten warranty replacements.
Next time don't go rooting and romming the day you get your phone.

If there is no ROM loaded onto the phone, as in doing a full /system wipe, the asserts will not work.
The assert that's being flashed looks at the build.prop that's already loaded onto the phone.

And of course, it's good practice to wipe /system when changing roms. I didn't think of that. That's obviously why people are still getting in trouble.

I don't ever wipe /system when flashing ROMs. It gets wiped when you flash anyway. I always wipe user data (factor reset), Dalvik and cache. But that's it.

Yep, if you format /system, the build.prop is gone, and the assert looks to the build.prop.. why it flashes, I don't know.
The way its set up seems like it would only flash if "ro.device=endeavoru" or whatever the line is, is present. I guess there is no fail safe to stop the process if the build.prop isn't present

Yeah, i'll skip the playing dumb idea. I prefer just going straight up to HTC about this. Would i be able to call in to HTC and ask them how much it costs? That is, if they accept these kinds of repairs.

They do and you're not the first to ask. I think they just swap up the motherboard.

They can fix any software corruption they have the tools too they know their phones front to back and can rewrite anything to them...just tell them what happened and they'll tell you the cost( maybe they'll feel bad and give a nice price) honesty can get you in good places sometimes

Thanks. Will send everyone who replied a thank button. Regardless of what type of comment...... I'll need to check the cost. Hopefully its below 100....
