This only really applies to those with S-ON Unlocked, HBOOT 1.45.0013. Once we figure out how to get S-OFF on all phones, this guide will become unneeded! In the meantime, this is here for those of us that are S-ON but want to play with ICS.
THIS TUTORIAL ALSO APPLIES TO ANY CUSTOM ROMS THAT REQUIRE A CUSTOM KERNEL.
If you're S-ON LOCKED, go HERE and UNLOCK your phone!
I'm assuming you have
Fastboot set up as a PATH, or copied to the folder you are extracting boot.img to
HTC Drivers installed
Clockwork Recovery
1.) Grab your ROM of choice.
2.) Open up your ROM in 7zip or another file compression program.
3.) Extract the "boot.img" file that's inside to a folder.
4.) Open the command prompt and go to the folder you extracted the "boot.img" file too.

}
"cd" in the command prompt stands for "change directory", so you will need to type that before the path to where your boot.img file is located.
5.) Reboot your phone into fastboot mode. To do this, turn off your phone by holding down the "Volume down" and "Power" buttons until the fastboot screen arrives. There should be three Androids on skateboards on the bottom.
6.) Press the power button once on the "fastboot" option. Your phone should now connect to the computer and it should say "fastboot usb" on your phone.
7.) In the command prompt, type the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
8.) Assuming you've done everything properly, this will overwrite the existing kernel on your phone with the kernel that comes with your ROM.
9.) Now, reboot your phone into Recovery. At this point, flash your ROM by flashing the zip file.
10.) Reboot and enjoy your new ROM!
Thanks to Blue6IX for telling me how to do this and to yogi2010 for making me realize I forgot to tell people to actually flash the ROM itself. Figured I'd make a guide for those that didn't know about it since it's probably hidden somewhere underneath pages and pages of comments on other ROMs.
probably worth stickying for a while till we get to know how to downgrade to an s-offable state?
Amazing work guys.
I'm also lucky the phone I purchased off Craigslist was root able.

I can confirm this does indeed work as advertised. I'm S-On Unlocked with latest HBOOT, installed pyr-o-ice 1.1.1 yesterday, its running as it should.

Will this method work for all of the ROMs we have here for the mt4gs? One I have been looking at is Bulletproof. If I use the same technique you've explained, will I get the same end result?
Just got a MT4GS a couple days ago. It was updated to 1.45.0013. I read up to see that it couldn't be S-OFF'd or rooted due to locked bootloader..."oh crap!". Searched more and ran into this... "hells yeah!" Worked like a charm! Now running Pyr-o-ice desensed...awesome stuff! Thanks a lot!

All of the ICS roms (and all of the custom GB roms as far as i know) are rooted here, and include the 'su' binary and superuser apk. That's what counts, so short answer:
yes
YESSSSS!!! But got damn I can't wait until S-OFF is a reality. This sucks lol but its better than having Tmobile take over ym phone with retarded apps. Thanks to all you DEV dudes who work hard for this device..

We'll nail it eventually. It's a tough nut to crack, but at least along the way we found a temporary fix.
We can now go back to S-ON from S-OFF, and the standard response to how to do that for the longest time was 'it's not possible'. Anything is possible with the right amount of effort invested. I am sure we'll come up with some more goodies along the way...some are brewing even now.
I've made S-ON to S-OFF my life's work until it's done, and have mostly given up on everything else I was working on to achieve that end.
There are a few other devs who have been spending a lot of time on this as well, and we are working together and unraveling the issue one layer at a time.
We'll get it, but it's the toughest nut to crack - the manufacturer is doing whatever they can to prevent us from being able to do so...there is a specific effort to block us from doing it that must be overcome.
Meantime, since we don't have a real RUU for this phone on any software version, the search for one came back with the leaked copy of the OTA as an official signed HTC package. ( To me it seemed like a consolation prize after the exhausting search for an RUU...didn't get one, but got at least this )
I'm glad someone went ahead and made a guide for people to use it to at least get unlocked since HTC broke the OTA they actually pushed over-the-air, this package is what it was supposed to be.
Hang in there, we'll get all you guys S-OFFed as soon as we can!
Y'all are doing a kickass job man. I'm sure once this phone is all the way opened up and dev see that, it will gain more publicity. I unlocked my phone with the htcdev.com, but haven't loaded up a rom yet. All I've really done is uninstalled a few bloatware apps, but can't wait until I can have total access to everything and see what this badboy has to offer.

ok.. noob question, can I flash boot after flashing custom rom?
First off: Thanks are due across the board, as well as to the man who made the .exe Noob-proof app it helped a little bit and worked great
Second: Okay.. I recieved a warranty replacement..new HBoot. following this guide I did all required.
UPON using fastboot command to boot the boot.img it reboots and starts to boot up PyroIce 1.1.2..... which you say isnt right since i need to flash the ROM again in Recovery..
If i Do that it wont boot again and hangs on the MT4GS splash screen, i think it is actually due to the fact that i also flash the adreno drivers patch, but i am not going to try and tinker with it.
bottom line, working... thanks so much guys

I've seen that boot.img is where the kernels are, and I've seen that to flash an ICS ROM in that thread that in order to flash an ICS ROM on a MT4GS you need to flash a kernel after the ROM, in the form of a boot.img.
So I'll say, hesitantly, "yes".
Unless, of course, you meant something else. That, or, I misunderstood something somewhere...

I don't know much about the whole ROM thing and Android in general. I come from G1 land, where everything was easy . You just flash the ROM and you're done. However, if I understand correctly, here you just flash the ROM you want (ICS whatever) and then the kernel (boot). Did I miss something along the way?
I would think that the kernel should be no different conceptually than the one in Linux (or Windows, or OS-X, or...). It's the interface between the software packages ("Android", plus the apks, framework, all that) and the hardware. So really, I don't see why any ROM shouldn't work as long as your kernel has everything the ROM needs to interface with the hardware and the framework has everything the ROM needs to interface with the software (or the software with the kernel). Do I understand correctly?
[EDIT]
I just reread that... you booted the hboot via fastboot instead of writing it to the phone first... which I guess is smarter than what I did -- cus if it won't work at least you don't brick it that way. Do you have a link to the howto for that? I'm sure it's simple and easy, I just have never done it...

Hello development community
I made this little windows app really quickly and wanted to see if you guys would test it for me. It's a simple flashing tool that that *should* quickly and easily flash roms to your phone.
It's in ALPHA currently and more than likely will NOT work, hence why I posted it in the development forum and not in any other forum. I only posted it to see what it does/doesn't work with so that I may work out all the kinks.
If you use this, please post your recovery.log with your recovery's name (Ex: Amon_RA v1.7) so that I may see if it detects any issues.
I'm pretty sure it'll work with the older CWM recovery but I'm unsure.
STATUS:
Everything should work besides rom/gapps flashing which I'm currently working on.
Working on compatibility with Amon_Ra Recovery and General Use

Beta? Lol its in Pre-Alpha.
It is totally safe though and when it works well will become fully open source so that others may review it for security.
The only downside is that it isn't fully tested hence why I posted it here. So in its current state, don't expect it to work.
With saying that, it is still fully safe due to the way it operates, so even if it doesn't work, it won't harm your device in any way.
I'm currently working on an update with a lot more features and will update the project status as I work on it.
If you try it out please tell me if it worked or not and what kind or recovery you have. Optionally, if you can, a recovery.log would also be nice
Cheers.

OK, now I need to ask you to tell me how to use fastboot like that... I already have H-boot - 1.33.2005 and radio version 2.22.19.261 installed, and im running cyanogenmod version 6... I installed those because they were in update.zips and i used amon-ra's to flash... sorry for being noob :/
based on my 2.xx radio version, do i still need to change radio? tnx in advance!
Ok, just google "windows fastboot.exe" and download it.
Next put it in a folder on your desktop with the radio and hboot in that same folder.
Rename the radio file to: radio.img
Rename the hboot file to: hboot.img
Now shift-click on that folder and click "open command window here"
Now type in "fastboot devices" and make sure that your device is listed.
Now type in these commands:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once done your bootloader should say that you have 1.33.0013d and the 2708 radio.

Also, if you want to do a kernel, you can just put it where the Rom goes but I suppose I could make a repetative tab to avoid confusion

Hey guys. Not new to rooting or flashing anything. But I have a strange situation. And help would be really appreciated.
I have a a MT4GS running Virtuous Inquisition senseless ICS ROM. I was going to switch over to Virtuous Infinity, to see what Sense 4 is about.
Downloaded the rom, put it on my SD card. Booted into CWM 5.0.2.7 (latest), made a backup, no error. Cleared /cache, no error. dalvik, no error. Factory reset, no error.
Then I tried to flash the ROM, which is where things got weird. First, I keep getting aborted installations with error "Status 1". Since I got that error the first time, every time I go into CWM, I get errors saying /cache/log can't mount or open. cache/last_log can't mount or open...
Rebooting just gets me stuck at the MyTouch logo.
Restoring from backup, CWM tells me my backup has no cache.img, system.img, data.img, and some other .img...so my backup got broken somehow.
I just am at a complete loss at to what the hell happened. Can anyone maybe provide something I can start on to try and get this working?
EDIT 1: For ****s and giggles, i tried flashing one more time. It worked. Weird. Flashed the corresponding boot.img file, no error there.
Now I am in a boot loop.

This is probably not the issue BUT.......it's very easy to accidently "reboot recovery" instead of going back to the main menu to "reboot system". If that's what you did, CWM 5.0.2.7 is notorious for giving you a boot loop. Other than that.....I'm Clueless.

The recovery wasn't the issue. I tried about 4 different CWM versions. They all did the same thing. I remember when I flashing Virtuous Inquisition, I never got any /cache/ errors. But when I tried it this time, (on the same recovery as last ROM), I started getting the errors. And the ROM wouldn't boot.
Idk. I'm lost. I can't even get fastboot to load the PG59IMG.zip file. It finds it, loads it, then checks it. Then nothing, back to fastboot main screen.
This is getting ridiculous.

Did you run ANY of the processes on CWM 6? It sounds like you must have and if you did you may have the 6th bricked device that it's produced. Most of those errors you're getting are the same as those of us that had to replace our MT4Gs.

Well, this is actually a replacement. My first I had for about 5 months, then it crapped out on me. Sent it into t-mobile, they told me it was water damaged (It wasn't), wouldn't let me dispute the claim. Charged me $190, replaced it. Had this one for maybe 3.5 weeks now...

If your bootloader is relocked and your splash & animations are TMobile's and it will go no further, BELIEVE me......TMobile won't give you ANY crap. But DO make sure you're taking it to a Main Corporate store and not just a branch office.
When I did, they just checked the water dot....did a couple more battery pulls....didn't EVEN KNOW to check HBoot for S-Off and I had a new one in the mail in 3 days. I only had to pay for shipping. (If that dot is still white.....don't take any crap from them about water damage & make a scene with customers around and demand the manager while you do).
Don't hate cell phones, my friend. It's just part of the learning process and you have learned (just like I have) to not test any alpha or beta system utilities. You can run all the beta ROMs that you want with impunity.

This is what my phone goes to every time it boots now. It was the T-Mobile MyTouch logo for like 1 second, then this. Every time.
I have a feeling they won't give me a replacement....unless I make up a story like how I tried to OTA and when I rebooted, this happened.
MAN! It sure looks to me like you are Good to GO! Completely S-On Radio Lock....proper bootloader...everything. And bootloader won't pick up the stock image? (Still odd to me) Nevertheless.....I don't think you'll have ANY problems. I think you just had a bad experience with TMo. Is there another bigger store in your town you could take it to this time? Sounds like you may have just been dealing with a know-nothing AHOLE before.
BTW......why NOT tell them that an OTA screwed it up? Other people have done that and come out smelling like a Rose. And beside......they HAVE screwed YOU over when they shouldn't have! An eye for an eye....KWIM?
This is why I'm still on v4.0.0.9

3.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
4.) if you are having problems with fastboot, try a usb 2.0 port.
5.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
6.) make sure other programs that interfere with adb and fastboot are uninstalled (PDANet, Kies, etc.)
7.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
8.) if you use a third party firewall, be sure to grant access to distiller.exe as it checks for updates
9.) MAKE SURE HTC SYNC IS UNINSTALLED
10.) YOU MUST UNZIP THE ARCHIVE BEFORE RUNNING DISTILLER. DO NOT JUST TRY TO RUN IT FROM THE ARCHIVE.

No, jelly bean (only for boost mobile is ics).
You have to look at the Software Number.
For ics you can use Supercid and Facepalm S-off (except boost mobile).
All devices now supported
Boost (k2_cl) cricket (k2_plc_cl) gsm lte(k2_ul) and gsm only (k2_u)
All one Sv users can install this, it only takes five minutes. Boost mobile is still in testing, but it fully works.
Thanks beaups and fuses. Without them this wouldn't be possible at all.

Like to thanks oldsplatterhead for his stock rom.
Thanks again.
P.s when HTC releases 4.2 obviously a new hboot will come with it, wonder if moonshine s-off can be carried over? Guess it's too early to ask.... but I have faith it will be cracked.

Install custom roms
Hi, is there a change that something can go wrong using this method? Because I have used it after htc dev-unlock an rooting, and have S-off, but my phone doesn't install a custom rom. I understand that you have to be S-off to be able to install custom roms, right?

If you see, that you are S-Off, you should be S-Off, i think.
And you don't need to be S-Off to flash custom Roms, you also can flash with S-On, but you need to flash boot.img with fastboot then.
As i have seen your phone info, you have hboot 2, that means you had already jb installed. So why do you want to use the stock, odexed rom instead?

I want that because my phone acts weird. It doesn't remember whether I want to use my launcher or Sense, if I put a widget on my homescreen the next day there's a grey area where the widget was, etc. So I thought if I can install a stable rom that might be over.

No, I haven't done that. I can with a guide root my phone and tablet, but I don't know what happens when I do something like that. Do I have to get rooted then again, or doesn't that change all that stuff like rooting and unlocking?

It doesn't change unlocking or S-Off. It deletes all user data, all you brought to your phone (not external sd, internal sd i'm not sure), but not things in system.
It sets the software itself to the point where the phone came to you.
Worked perfect!! Nice job.

You are already on JB, so there is no real profit for you, cause mine is not modded.
Here a quote from another forum (thanks to wetbiker):
wetbiker7 said:
Make sure you have removed HTC sync from you computer. Also, make sure USB debugging is enabled in developer settings on your phone.
If you have HTC sync, make sure that you reboot the pc and the phone so that everything is reset and the files are completely removed from the pc.
Unzip the Moonshine zip that you downloaded and place it in a folder. With your phone fully booted, plug in USB and connect to pc. Click on the distiller and follow the prompts. Also, make sure you have a good charge on your phone because it'll take it between 5 and 10 minutes.
Also, if you are running a custom kernel, you will need to reinstall it after you have finished with Moonshine.
Edit: disable anti-virus and run the distiller as administrator.
Hope this helps.

Hi.
Quick question, I'm trying to help someone back in France with this.
If you're on JB (official OTA update) and do this procedure, will you :
- keep your data as they were just before ?
- keep your rom as it was before (ie : will you be able to install the next OTA updates without any trouble) ?
In one word : does this process just does S-OFF or does it change anything else ?
Thanks a lot !

I'm under the assumption the wire-trick is still needed, but the toolkit has jbear built in, so you would go through the same steps but all files/tools/etc needed to go from stock to s-off is included in this one kit
But correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't tried this yet, just going off of what I know about this phone and how the emmc power cycles

No corrections necessary, my friend. That makes better sense. Just kinda caught me offguard. Still sounds like one heck of an accomplishment. Can't wait to get a little time to play around with it.
Has the S-Off function been confirmed? Is the wire trick still required? Either way looks like a nice tool!
I have never done the "wire trick". When I originally got my phone, it had the HBOOT 1.45.0007, I did S-OFF with Revolutionary, rooted, unlocked, and all was well. When the newer radio (11.59.3505.20_2) came out that also updated the HBOOT to 1.45.0013, I was told it would revert my phone to S-ON, but I don't think it did. It did update the HBOOT to 1.45.0013. I then had to relock the phone, go to HTCDEV and use the HTC unlock tool, then I re-rooted the phone. So, I've been HBOOT 1.45.0013, with radio 11.59.3504.20_2, and I'm S-OFF, unlocked, rooted, without ever doing a "wire trick".
I think OP should really have a writeup to explain what the different buttons do, and what exactly they are installing.

Wow, to the best of my knowledge this isn't possible as the s-off part part of the .07 would be due to a patched hboot, that just ignores the security flag checks. Flashing another bootloader would erase the old one which means erase the patch. Radio s-off is much lower level and flashing firmware would not return to s-on no matter the firmware flashed. So correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't the rev hboot just a patched bootloader? Just doesn't make sense how flashing a new bootloader and unlocking the phone would keep the radio secure flags turned off...

I don't know the technical details. I just know that my phone originally had 1.45.0007, now has 1.45.0013, and it is S-OFF and unlocked. I never did any "wire trick". When the new radio came out, there was lots of discussion about what to do to maintain S-OFF. I followed those discussions intently. I'm sure if I went back through the archives here on XDA I'd see where it was done, but I don't have the patience for that right now.
Some day I may dig through the old threads so I can wrap my head around this, seems strange to me but thanks for the reply. [/OT]
Is there anyone one out there that's unrooted or interested in bring their phone back to stock and test this all out?

This is a GUI program built using C# in Visual Studio 2013 that takes advantage of ADB and Fastboot commands and puts them into an easy-to-use toolkit. I will be continually developing it and trying out new features, so feel free to request any features you may want. Keep in mind that I am only 16 and have only been coding in C# since June, so I may not be able to implement every requested feature, and if it is possible, I may require assistance from our more skilled members. Any and all criticism is welcome, from the handling of a certain function to the misalignment of a button. I'm a neat freak myself, so no issue is too small! I hope you enjoy the toolkit! :fingers-crossed:
This toolkit uses the WinDroid HTC One X+ Toolkit as a base, so most features are universal besides the recoveries and S-OFF functions. If there is a feature, function or command that is more specific to the myTouch 4G Slide that would improve the toolkit, please let me know! :fingers-crossed:

Because the S-OFF methods here are based off of the current methods, most people will still need to do the wire trick.

The problem is, I forgot to enable smartflash(step 3A) before flashing the rom(same rom attached in step 4A).

And this message keeps popping up. Sometimes I'll remove the battery and turn it back on and this will come up:
And I will be able to go through the normal setup with the message popping up every 2 seconds. But as soon as I press "finish" after going through the setup, the phone will still not boot up properly and get stuck on either the htc logo or a blank screen.
I would truly appreciate any help, I've tried wiping data and rebooting as well, and I have no idea what to do now. Thanks!

did you not forget to flashing boot.img too after installing the new rom with manual flashing.. after you know it's that you already forgot to enabled smartflash form 4ext recovery..?
Go to recovery ( remove battery , insert battery , hold volume down and power button )
Wipe data cache ,
Enable smart flash and flash Rom again

I've tried that as well, but get no results. I also tried relocking bootloader and unlocking again, but i still end up and the lockscreen and go through setup wizard, only to end up stuck at the htc logo.
I tried doing RUU also, but I have a Bell Sensation, which is 3.32.666.13, and there isn't an ruu file available for that.
Any other ideas?

Thanks, but I think that is the older version(from gingerbread I think) and after I searched around I think that one will not work. I may be wrong, so you are certainly welcome to take a closer look whenever you have tim after getting home.
Thanks so much for taking the time to help me! At this moment, my phone will not boot up past the white screen with the htc logo(no quietly brilliant coming up) and I am getting very desperate. I wiped everything that I possibly could in recovery, reflashed the rom after enabling smartflash, and my result is being stuck on the same htc screen. Am I bricked beyond repair? I am seriously getting very scared now. Anyways thanks for helping, any other ideas are welcome.

Can you link me to one? I can't tell which ones are z710a and which ones aren't.
If you can find one on here that might work for me: http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/index...oads&Itemid=98
or here: http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid
or anywhere else you might be able to find one.
Again I have a bell sensation 3.32.666.13. I was able to find a zip file here: http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Pyramid (3rd one down)
but its a zip file, not exe, so not really sure what thats for. Thanks so much for the help!

your version show with zip file in here http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Pyramid is a update OTA version..not full completed RUU..
anyway may i know what custom rom do you installed before..?, did you already tried another custom rom..?
RUU

I've tried that as well, but get no results. I also tried relocking bootloader and unlocking again, but i still end up and the lockscreen and go through setup wizard, only to end up stuck at the htc logo.
I tried doing RUU also, but I have a Bell Sensation, which is 3.32.666.13, and there isn't an ruu file available for that.
Any other ideas?

I was following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
and went up to step 4A, and used the same rom linked to dropbox download in that step.
Problem was, I forget to enable smart flash before flashing(step 3A), so I followed extra step 1 in that same thread, which is flashing boot.img, but that didn't work either.

just tried installing another custom rom and don't forget to anabled smartflash first...try this ROM
then after that if your phone success to booting normally..then you can make a goldcard to prepare..if sometime while you needed return your phone to the stock..then you don't worried again to searching RUU that are suitable with your phone..

I don't know :\... but also you can try to turn off your device, and remove the battery, and put it back, then press power button + volume up button & choose factory rest, it might work
