Hello XDA members
I was wondering, when the new android sandwich comes out, and you got a rooted and S-off HTC sensation. But not custom rom. What will happen to the root and S-off when you update to the new android sandwich?
Thanks
Want to know too ahehhe
We'll lose root but keep S-OFF I'd imagine
Cool, thanks for the answer
I have perm-rooted my Sensation and i was wondering when the new official update from HTC comes out will i be able to install it automatically like when i was not rooted or because i am S-Off it will not let me?
Thanks
i could be wrong but no you wont be able to perform an ota update. im only saying this because the last ota update failed because the update looks for the stock recovery in order to update the system. seeing that you are rooted i assume you have cwm installed and if this ota update does indeed look for the stock recovery than it will fail. the only way around this is to either instal a stock ruu and lose root or instal the stock recovery and again lose root. either way you are gonna lose root.
Could you give me a link where there is a guide to install the stock recovery?

If you check the development forum, there's a thread which has shipped roms in it. Flash one to restore stock recovery.

Depends. If you're just running the original rom which came on your phone but rooted, it should still allow ota updates, but you'll lose root (but keep s-off). If you're on a custom rom you won't receive an ota.
To OP, if you ran an ruu or ota of ice cream sandwich, as eddy says, you'll lose root but remain s-off. That said, a custom ics rom will probably come out weeks/months before an official HTC update
Well, when we got the RUU, we can extract and repack to our rooted ROM
It should be this if i am right ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559

That's true, but we'll see aosp ics roms long before we have sense skinned ones, as cyanogen et al don't need to spend months porting frameworks.

Yes I am running the stock rom so I will receive the pta update. I know that I will lose root in every scenario if I install the stock ROM one way or another.
Thanks.

So i just flash one of these roms, without deleting cache or doing a reset ?
not entirely true. i was rooted on stock rom when the last ota rolled out. i tried installing it but it failed. i did a lil search here and found a few people mentioned that it failed due to cwm and they also mentioned that you should try flashing back the stock recovery. i tried that and it installed successfully. easy way to get the stock recovery is to instal the correct ruu of your rom. but as we all know it wipes out everything off your phone. i did find this guide which the stigx has asked for (sorry buddy didnt see you there ) which shows you how to extracted the stock recovery off of the ruu and than flash it back to your phone.

But if I need to follow your guide i have to have the OTA update file,w hich haven't comet out yet. What do i Do? It seems so hard to remove root and custom recovery :'(
But thank for your answer !
well the general idea is to get your stock recovery back without losin your data. so really all you need to do is flash your stock recovery reboot your phone and check for updates. if updates are available: system>about phone>check for updates, download the update and install. it shouldnt fail cause you have stock recovery instead of cwm. in short just do the top part of the guide and skip the rest cause you dont have the updates file on your computer.
So if i do step 1-12 I will have normal phone? Just like I started or do i still keep root?
Thank you so much for your hep !

You can also use this software to install the stock recovery. that way you don't loose settings by installing RUU

yes you do 1-12 but you keep root. the only difference is that you will no longer have cwm for flashing, back up, and all other goodies. but once you run the ota and it installs you lose root.
but have a look at the link frederikh just posted. seems alot better than the current method. im reading over it now
Thanks for the answers!
I think i will go with the link frederikh gave me But God bless you Divine! Thank you for your help !
I just wanted to make sure that I understood the process of returning my phone to stock before I make a mistake.
All I've done since I purchased the phone was root it and unlock the bootloader. I have not loaded any custom roms.
So If I understand this correctly I need to:
1) Flash the Stock Image (which should include the stock recovery?)
2) Use fastboot to lock the bootloader
The reason I'm wanting to return the phone to stock is to receive OTA updates. I never use any apps requiring root, and don't plan on loading any custom roms.
I never did find a 2.3.4 stock image for the I9020A..
you should actually be able to get ota updates no problem. it'll just remove root every time you update.
it's probably not a good idea to lock the bootloader though cause if you ever want to unlock it again in the future you'll have to wipe everything from your phone. your best bet is to just flash stock recovery so you can install the update
i'm pretty sure that works, but hopefully someone else can verify just so you don't get some bad information lol
I heard the same thing about OTA updates. If you're phone is rooted and you're using the original rom, you'll get the update but you'll have to root your phone once again.
I haven't tried this myself so I cannot verify it.
It's just the word on the street, you know!

you need stock everything, so stock kernel, rom, radio, etc... the op should be fine to update if they flash stock recovery though. rooting is simple from there

Thanks again kibmcz, so I just completed the flash, then did a fastbook oem lock.
Seems to be working fine except for one thing...
When I go into settings and hit Sound I get a Force close when I try and select a new ringtone...
Should I try reflashing again?

Didn't happen on mine (In fact im using a self rooted rom based on that exact stock zip) try doing a wipe in stock recovery.
after flashing that does it take it back to out of box condition?
reason i ask is because i bought a already rooted and unlocked one here from market place and i want to return it to stock firmware, radio, kernel and such to recieve OTA updates and what not.
your info is greatly appreciated

Using my zip yes... it flashes Bootloader, Radio, Boot, System and on first boot (and any other time recovery changes) Recovery is flashed. All you got to to is lock the bootloader and that wipes user data and usb storage.
hey man i appreciate you coming forward with a solution, ive yet to recieve the phone but wanted to prepare.
my goal is to flash everything back to stock and start completly over whereas i have no clue what method was originally used to root and unlock the bootloader.

Just did the method using the stock ROM provided by kibmcz "thanks BTW!"
Phone is back to stock, working like it did when I first bought it. Had a little trouble with some Force Close issues but did a factory reset/data clear of the cache and all that before re-flashing, and it seems to be working Vanilla!

Hey guys I'm trying to keep the bootloader locked and have root access. Just got the OTA ICS update. Is this possible? I'm still stock everything.
No. Unlock it now if you want root. Unlocking it wipes everything off the phone.
Best time to do it is when the phone is new or now that you just got 4.0 you can wipe and fresh start with the new os

Thanks dude, I saw this guide here:

I tried to follow Part 3, to root without unlock and wipe but I get an error.
Thanks a lot, I'm just worried about warranty. Does Samsung care about unlocked bootloaders?
I just came from a HTC handset and HTC didn't seem to care too much.
The bootloader can be relocked on this device.
I've tried all the guides. The phone keeps reflashing the stock recovery and I flashed the superuser.zip I can't seem to get root access. I've unlocked bootloader.
Stock roms have a script in them that overwrites the recovery every boot. Probably already a 100 plus threads about it here. Search for it.
If you flashed the latest su.zip with a custom recovery you have root. You may have just flashed the binary and need to get superuser app from market or you flashed the old zip prior to ice cream sandwich.

I found out that it is possible to gain root access in an 'unrootable' update, IF you are S-OFF, by flashing ClockworkMod thru the bootloader, and then flashing Superuser thru ClockworkMod. I found out that this worked on the G2, as described here by rdmerck:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206930
So all i did was replace the android_info.txt and the recovery.img in his zip, with the ones for our device. I just tried it, and it worked! i have Superuser access in the new 1.55.531.3 ROM.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Pretty simple...
1. Download the 2 attached files, put them both on the root of your sdcard, and rename the CWM_HBOOT.zip to PG59IMG.zip.
2. Boot into the bootloader however you prefer, let it read the PG59IMG.zip, and press volume up to update when prompted. When it finishes, it will prompt you to press Power to reboot.
3. Now boot into recovery however you prefer, and it should be ClockworkMod(I used the Modaco 4.0.0.9 version, basically because i had it conveniently lying around in .img format. I'm sure Rom Manager could now be used to flash the latest 5.0.2.7 version of CWM). Choose 'install from sdcard', then 'choose zip from sdcard', then choose the Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip and choose 'yes'. As has happened in the past, i had to flash it 3 times until it successfully installed. But it did work.
4. Choose to reboot, and enjoy root access on the latest stock ROM!
I figure a lot of people probably won't need all that instruction, but i included it for people who are newer to flashing stuff thru the HBOOT and CWM. I also figure that the user base for this will probably be very small, as most folks who are S-OFF probably are not choosing to run the stock ROM. But anyway, if you DO have S-OFF, i wanted you to know that you can have root access on the latest update. I figure this will also enable us to make nandroid images of the new ROM, if that would help development at all.
Anyway, here are the 2 files:
ClockworkMod: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18474790/CWM_HBOOT.zip
Superuser: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18474790/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip
Note:
-This worked for me and should work for you, but use at your own risk.
-You must be S-OFF to do this.
-Hopefully this is only a temporary solution for those with S-OFF, until either Team Revolutionary cracks the update, or HTCDEV fixes whatever is preventing their bootloader unlocker tool from working on our device.

Well, since nobody has made a custom rom with the latest OTA bits, you will have to do what I did:
You'll need to downgrade yourself with the stock PG59IMG.zip, putting that file (found here) on the root of your sdcard and booting into the bootloader.
That will basically return your phone to stock and, IIRC, revert your status to S-OFF Locked. Then you'll need to boot up and check for system updates. You'll definitely be given the first small OTA update, but you very likely wont receive the latest OTA update via system updates.
For that you'll need to download it (from here) and flash it through the stock recovery. Once you've done that you can use the instructions in this thread to re-flash clockworkmod recovery and re-root.
Your phone will still be S-OFF but you'll have a locked bootloader.
Still can't figure out what I need to do to root my phone. That's on hboot 1.45.0013
Guess I might have to wait til Revo find a fix for it.

Since you're S-OFF, you could flash ClockworkMod on the update and then flash a custom ROM, but I believe that would leave you with an old ROM and the new radio, which seems to have caused issues for people. Since there aren't yet any custom ROMs based on the latest update, you should probably stay where you are if you want a custom ROM. But if you do install the update, you would still be able to downgrade and get back to where you are now.
Wonder how long it will/could be before revo crack the current HBOOT

You could run this ROM, which is based on the latest OTA release from HTC, so no OTA updates are needed. It is optimized, deodexed, and tweaked just a tad. I use it as my daily driver with great success. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12063-devrom12192011-stock-12853110-r2-deodexed-crtgpu/

I think possibly we've been thru this before, lol, but that ROM isn't the very latest... there has been a pretty big update since then that thus far is only available as an official OTA update package.
I have an HTC One X updated to 4.0.4, software number 2.20.502.7 710RD. I messed up my phone trying to install a cyanogenmod 10 preview but messed up flashing a recovery. Long story short, it would not boot into the regular firmware and wouldn't let me get access anything but the bootloader menu, flashboot, and cwm recovery menu. I ended up using the ruu, htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012. I heard that you can't root this new firmware unless you still have you unlock token id thing which i do. I tried running the same tool I used to root my phone before and it did unlock the bootloader but it didn't root it. It installed supersu but not the su binary. If someone would be willing to walk me though rooting my phone that would be great and if someone would be willing to link me to the most up to date clockwork mod recovery page that would be great. And if I misheard and it isn't possible to root at all right now then just say so and I'll shut up. Also all I want to do is install google now for ics on my phone, not flash a rom, because I heard that it wouldn't be safe to do that right now.

Not safe to flash a rom? Of course it's safe. Just flash one and you'll have root. Otherwise stay on stock with no root.

You can't. There's a dozen threads right now stating that you cannot root on 2.20.

This is true but not in his case he was unlocked prior to update so he can unlock and root again.
To the op
Don't use cwm use twrp its officilay supported for the one x download goo manager from the market and install it from the app as far the root not working try the process again because it should work.
Edit
Open Su and try to update the binary.

He can't just flash a rom with the new hboot you will need to flash the boot image from fastboot unless flashing a rom that is 2.20 or 2.23 base and even then he will.lose init.d support if he skips flashing the boot from fastboot

How to Root 4.04 w/ unlock token
Ok, this is what worked for me. First, make sure you have your bootloader unlocked with your unlock token. CIDspoofer will not give you root, but it will unlock your bootloader with the unlock token.
Next, go here http://theunlockr.com/2012/06/05/how-to-install-twrp-2-1-recovery-on-att-and-rogers-htc-one-x/ and download the twrp recovery image and flash it with adb running the commands in the instructions.
Get yourself the 4.04 stock rooted zip from here in the OP of this thread. Take your pick of ODEXED or DE-ODEXED. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459
Put zip on sd, reboot into recovery, flash the zip and you should be good to go. Stock, rooted update.
I hope this helps.
Ok, I am really excited now. Instead of flashing just a rooted version of the stock, would it be possible to flash to a jelly bean rom. If so how would i do that and which jelly bean rom is the most stable. I am really excited to use google now. I have flashed twrp and can flash the new firmware if i need but if I can get a jelly bean rom that would be preferable.

Just check the dev section. Whatever you find for Jellybean isn't going to be 100% since it's being worked on by the devs, and it's not official. If you don't care about camera and video not working, check out cyanogenmod 10 alpha in the original dev section.

You don't need Jellybean for Google Now anymore, there's a thread in general. You can just flash a .zip and get google now, that way you can get a really stable rom like cleanrom 4.5

SO I am sure I will get the barrage of no's but, of course I am dumb and have my HTCOX ATT stock at 2.20.502.7 never got a token at 1.85 and want to go Cyanagenmod 10 on my phone. Is there any way to revert firmware and then root using the 1.85 method? Or any other thoughts?

Please search before posting things like this. There is at least I mean at least 10 threads about this. If you upgraded and did not change your cid or unlock your bootloader you are out of luck until a new exploit is found or s off is achieved.
