Ok I'm new here and have zero knowledge about anything Android-hacking. Following ikhzter's guide I get a roadblock everytime at the point of waiting for fastboot on xp sp3 on my macbook pro via vmware.
This is how it goes-
Zerging Root... this may take a minute or so..
Sending in Caroline...
Cleaning up...
Rebooting to fastboot...
Whien life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take back the lemons
Waiting for fastboot...
Rebooting to fastboot (again)...
Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try Again.
Press (almost) any key to exit.
Now on trying the alternative, linux which is a bit too alien to me I can't even get the Revolutionary.exe to run (open) on it. Help!
It does that in Windows, just reboot the phone and run it again. After 3 times it'll say it's done and ask if you wanna install CWM
As for the .EXE not running in Linux, that's cause it's a Windows .EXE - there's the Linux version on the Revo website
Having said all that, if you don't know what you're doing then you shouldn't really be trying it anyway
Thanks but I'm pretty sure I got the Linux version. And ultimately I want to flash the Android Revolution HD custom ROM. So I know what I'm doing.

I had the same thing happen on Windows. Try going into USB connections and check the HTC sync option, it worked for me.
Also, when it lost communication I tried again and it worked despite loosing communication.

So.... to be 100% clear, you're using VMWare Fusion on your MacBook Pro running XP SP3 as a guest OS and using trying to run a linux executable?
I thought you said you knew what you were doing....

Having said that... I'll go into detail so as not to be considered flaming.
Choose an OS and choose your method. I'd suggest you step back from your current testing and abandon it all.
Using VMWare Fusion boot into, or install if you have not yet already, your Linux guest OS
Using your guest OS browser, navigate to revolutionary and download the Linux package.
Navigate to your download directory within a linux terminal -- most likely : cd ~/Download
Sometimes in Ubuntu, maybe other distros as well, to protect your machine the browser will not keep the executable permissions of the file you download. To be certain chmod 777 revolutionary
./revolutionary
That's no help at all but thanks anyway. To be clear, I've downloaded a made-to-run-on-Linux revolutionary file on the Linux OS that I installed through VMWare. Completely fails to understand why anyone would rather think of the absurd.

I ran into this, MAKE SURE YOUR ENTERING THE CORRECT SERIAL NUMBER, not the imei or whatever. Then with correct serial number go threw the process and see what happens. Revolutionary will recognize your device with both serial and imei number and produce a root code for you, but only with the code from your serial number entry will the process find and root your device.
Remember to give THANKS were THANKS is due.

I am using linux Revolutionary, ubuntu quantal, HBOOT 1.35 is less than required <1.45. Revolutionary 0.4pre4
In a term, sudo revolutionary, it recognizes my phone, says Zerging, quits.
I tried HTC Thunderbolt in power on mode and HTC sync mode. Many times, irritating to enter beta code over and over.
I guess I could try the serial number over but I think revolutionary is checking that before accepting beta code.
---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------
Annoying re-entering of beta code may be avoided by putting beta code into a file, then redirecting the file into revolutionary.
Code:
sudo ./revolutionary < ./beta_key
...but all I get is Zerging and failing.

I am having issues with this revolutionary method as well. i download the zip, extract it, download the fastboot, get the key code, run the extracted program, and the window says waiting for device. so i ran it again with mounting my sensation before running and same thing. It hasnt yet given me a chance to enter the key code. im only assuming i have to enter it cause it is not taking the code it pops up with when you enter your information. I Just bought a PC so I can to root my phones better without waiting for a MAC version of every thing. If anyone knows the step I am missing, please let me know. I would love to experiment with COREdroid but i have to get S-OFF first.

This was the missing step for me i could only get it to work once i uninstalled HTC Sync..
The Quickest way in solving this issue is just to install the HTC Drivers. With that, follow the Guide on the Dev section and it should be okay.
For future reference of Linux users who may find this thread, don't forget to run revolutionary, fastboot, or adb as a root user.
That'll usually solve all that plagues you with problems like "waiting for device" and such.

I've tried the new supertool v3 and the aahk hack and it doesnt seem to do anything. It might be my computers fault cause it keeps giving me weird errors like my usb device has malfuctioned or windows doesnt recognize it. I'm lot and would like some assistance if someone could help
thanks,
mike
finally figured out it was my other computer so i moved to a different computer and am using the supertool hack and i prepped it like it said and it seemed to do something, then i went to #3 cause it says attempt perm root so i clicked that and it seemed to be doing something and then flashed at me and said rooted! and my phone turned white and i had 4 option like bootloader, reboot, reboot botloader, and something else i forgot. I'm not sure what i should do from here so i clicked just bootloader and it took me to a different screen then i just restarted it and i downloaded terminal emulator and typed in su to see if it was rooted and it wasnt. I'm confused once my screen turns white and asks me what to do
By "Supertool", do you mean Bubby's root method?
Idk who its from, but i got it from this website and its called htc supertool and says it works on almost every htc phone
No he mean the HTC supertool from the general android section. Use the Ace hack kit. It is the only proven way that I know of. We have all used it at one time or another and as long as you read the manual you will be fine.
This maybe a little exaggerated, but you may download Ubuntu and run from a USB drive for example and run aahk from there...

It's not recommended to run from a USB drive. Use a live CD instead. (It's in the effen manual for aahk).
You can install the live CD in a usb with unebooting, that's what I mean

lol what are you saying? The Hack Kit is the best way to go. The OP has been instructed to use this tool and if he still runs into a problem, the OP should re-read the the first post in the hack kit thread and the manual to be sure he/she didn't miss a thing. If problems still persist I believe the IRC chatroom is still in service.
I should stop writing short replies, I mean you can install the live CD in the USB with unebooting or other tool, from there use the aahk

:crying: please somebody help me, im desperate, my dad just bought me the htc one x at&t for a gift after my galaxy s 2 got stolen a while back, i had previous exerience rooting, unlocking, and modding basic stuff, the only thing i didnt like about the phone was the multitasking button instead of a menu button, so i rooted it and unlocked the bootloader using the method on onexroot.com and it all worked and i installed twrp recovery, but when i flashed the button remap (cant remember which one) it now gets stuck at the one x screen, i figured this wasnt a problem and i could just download another rom and flash it, but from recovery usb wont moun it get and error something like
something about the sdcard
checking partitions
E: cant mount sd card
E: failed to open lunfile (doesnt exist)
i might be messing up but i am unable to get it to appear in adb always says device not found
am i screwed? am i stuck with a broken rom that cant be fixed?
Please help, it will mean the world to me
Uh read up on ODIN. I used it to get my friends SGS out of a soft brick. I'm not sure if it's for the one x though. What it does is after you put your phone into recovery mode or force pushes a ROM to the SD card then flashes it. Also try googling a tool to force it into recovery. ODIN might I'm not too sure though.

Can you load into the bootloader..?
<Hold power button for ~10 seconds until the buttons flash at the bottom>
<Once its off, hold the power button and the Volume Down [NOT UP = Very bad]>
That should load up the bootloader. Then you can attempt to go into the recovery again OR reinstall it through bootloader.
Now if that doesn't work, You can attempt running the 1.85 RUU from your computer. It <might> overwrite all existing partitions and create a solid and fresh foundation for re-rooting and all.
And to answer your question if you're screwed, in my experience it is almost never an issue to get your phone out of a soft brick as long as you can access some sort of recovery.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
heres the rundown
bootloader - yes
recovery - yes
adb - no
fastboot - yes
mount storage - no (makes recovery kinda useless)
i sure hope im not screwed, but since i cant find a way to get a clean rom on the phone i dont see a way to fix it, odin is strictly samsung sadly, and i know nothing about ruu, i dont care about root or anything anymore i just want my phone to work so whatever it takes
Ok, I wasnt sure about ODIN. Try an RUU. Basically an RUU is an .exe or executable file that is almost completely automated that flashes the complete package (Rom, radio, kernel). It might not work depending on what you have installed on windows (drivers and such). You might have to uninstall HTC drivers & sync and try again if that doesn't work install the drivers only then rerun the RUU. RUU is your best bet now. Download one and start the exe. Remember if you're on Mac OSX or linux you're going to have to use a Virtual machine or windows emulator to run the RUU

your help is much appreciated
Mac OSX is not the right platform to be using nor is windows 8 (because it is unproven and still in beta). I would recommend using a fresh installation. If you have a windows 7 .ISO you can install it and use it for 30 days before they lock you out with out a key.
Here is a helpful tool to install it as fast as possible VIA USB (provided you have a >4GB drive) http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
If you are running Mac OSX here is an XDA developers guide for linux (Mac OSX is based off of Free BSD a linux distribution) by Jeepfreak. The process will differ some but not a lot.

Transfer the RUU's to your Vista comp using a USB drive.
Make sure you don't have HTC Sync or if you do it is not running in the background.
ok so i download the ruu, got that, i think i have the android sdk on that computer, will that cover any drivers i need? and for the ruu what to i have to do on the phone end?
i ran "fastboot getvar version-main" and it returned "version-main: 1.73.502.1" will the difference between .502 vs .502.1 make a differnece?
Shouldn't make a difference.... And i would try running the RUU first then download the necessary drivers if that doesn't work...

Yeah, like I said, HTC Sync didn't solve my problem for whatever reason.
However, it occurred to me that I've never had to worry about Android drivers with Mac and Linux, and I was able to use fastboot without a problem from a Ubuntu LiveCD, without resorting to downgrading my hboot. Granted it meant downloading and configuring the android tools in Ubuntu, and I wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis, but it's okay as a workaround, and this whole fiasco has me seriously considering switching my laptop to Ubuntu from Win8 (I could dual-boot), but I don't really have enough disk space for 2 operating systems).

Next find andriod , it should be greyed out. If you don't find install win 64 bit driver. It will still not recongize android when plugged in so click greyed out android and choose Manuel update. Then click browse for driver and go into win 64 drivers and manually choose. There is a lot of utube and other tutorials if you Google manuel install HTC drivers for win 8. Hope this helps ya.

I was able to get mine working with the combo of
1. uninstalling any HTC sync or sync manager and the HTC BMP USB Driver. Basically anything HTC.
2. Install HTC sync. Not sync manager. Go to the HTC support page and you'll see both listed. If you go to the specific phone support page it might not be there. (One S doesn't have the sync program, just sync manager iirc.)
3. Download PDAnet. When installing, It'll give a warning that you already have drivers installed and ask if you want to fix them or leave as is. I chose it to fix and it went though its process and I had working drivers after that.
I think this was already suggested before. I going back and giving thanks wherever due after this post. (On the mobile app right now)
Other easy way if you're using a One S is to download Hasoon2000's All-On-One Toolkit. He's updated the drivers for windows 8. I haven't tried it yet as mine are working so haven't had the need. I would assume his tool for any of the other phones he supports would have the updated drivers too.
I'm using a new out of the box Verizon HTC One M8, Android v4.4.2, software version 1.12.605.11, Sense v6.0. I've managed to get root with WeakSauce easily enough. But I have to wait about 30 seconds after reboot for root to return after doing adb reboot from the Firewater instructions.
Once root returns, which is always does, I try running firewater and it just drops back to the command line, does nothing at all.
Any ideas? I could really use some help!
Yes I got the same thing

I had to use my Windows machine (was trying on a Mac) to do it, then it worked. It shouldn't matter, but it did.
Oh I tried multiple times. It worked for mine but my bros phone no go

There is nothing about Windows that adds any magic to the process. If anything, dealing with drivers adds another level of complexity. I have used Firewater S-off from Linux with no issues.

Thanks - that's the guide I followed and eventually got it all working
the weird thing on the mac is firewater downloads as a generic document instead of a unix executable file - once I changed that it worked correctly

Firewater won't work no matter what version you use. It was server dependant and that server has been taken down. Sunshine or a Java card are the only options now. If you're on lollipop, the Java card is the only option you have at this time.
