after a few hours finally began rooting my inspire. following attn1's guide and got to the s-off, superCID and more step. i let the cmd run its course and it stopped on:
"please wait - booting recovery to patch downgrade ROM.....
ECHO is off.
please wait"
and it hasnt moved for about 20 minutes now. my phone shows clockworkmod recovery v3.0.2.5 and a list of options under it. what is my next step?
Off the top of my head, are you sure you don't need to use the menus and select the downgrade zip to continue and it's just waiting on you instead?
I'm not too sure, the root process went flawlessly for me.
you need to install a custom rom
i got it figured out and i got a cm7 rom installed but there was no marketplace app. now everything i try to load through rom manager it says there was an error? i tried downgrading again and rom manager still gives me the error. any ideas?

What do you mean you tried downgrading again? You either have s-Off or you don't. Flash a stock,,rooted PD98IMG.zip, make sure stuff works, make sure clockwork recovery is flashed correctly, etc.
What ROM manager error?
Look, this isn't directed completely at you so don't get hurt, but...
people, noobs, whoever.... How can you expect help troubleshooting something when all anybody has to work with are error descriptions like...
"rom manager gave an error."
"I tried rooting and it failed."
"I rebooted and it did something weird and then froze."
See the absurdity of that?

sorry i wasnt clear enough. everything is working fine. the i flashed "cm7 nightly" with rom manager. now everything seems to be working but i couldnt find the market app anywhere. so then i repeated step 3 of the hack kit because i couldnt get rom manager to do anything.
when i boot up rom manager, it says "you must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use google search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone."
when i try to load any other rom through rom manager it says an error occured while attempting to run privelaged commands.
and i understand about noobs asking dumb questions, i see them in every section of the forum. its just hard not to when your phone quits working lol
i guess maybe i unrooted my phone by going back into the hack kit..im going to try flashing cm7 nightly again. any idea why the marketplace isnt there? thats the only problem i noticed.
i flashed cm7 nightly again the exact same way i did last time and the market is there now...no idea what happened.

Not to sounds snarky, but had you read the first post of the CM7 Nightly thread, you'd have seen that gapps has to be dl'ed and flashed through Clockwork Mod.
Here's the link for GAPPS. http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip

i got the market on there now but everytime i open it it says it will only be open one time unless i hit cancel. thanks for the info guys. im gonna do some googling and see if i cant figure out how to make market stay.
thanks again

Even though I read your more recent posts saying you got it at least functioning, and going off to do some searching about the market issue...
^^^^^ That's more like it.
That makes the problem much easier to figure out for people.
Glad you're on the road to getting things straightened out.
Hello,
I am new to the XDA Developers website and wasn't sure where to put this post.
Anyway, I'm trying to root my N9000 and so far not having any luck. I downloaded a driver from 4shared that was something like "MTKxx driver" I installed the driver correctly (or I think) next step was rooting the phone. I downloaded SuperOneClick and it didn't go past Step 7. I tried "MTKdroidTools" and I chose root and nothing seems to happen. The progress bar keeps going and going. Finally, I tried TPSparky and the first try it said, "failed on '/data/local/tmp' - Permission denied
link failed File exists
Rebooting - Continue once device finishes rebooting
Press any key to continue . . ."
I chose a key, it supposedly rooted my phone and said it worked. I checked and it wasn't rooted.
I really need help rooting my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

root many androids by bin4ry search here.will root no problem.
Whats up guys? First I just wanna say hi I am a new member and looks like you guys have a great little community here and I'm glad to be a part of it. I hope someone can help me out. Also, I did watch that noob video, I loved it. Before posting this I have searched found some similar but according to that video service provider matters. I guess no one uses virgin mobile..
Alright, so I have an HTC one S that I have had for almost a year now, bought it brand new through virgin mobile. I used for a while and liked the phone but my buddy at work had a galaxy phone and could do so much cool stuff with his that I wanted to do the same. So one day at work he came to this site and "Rooted" my phone. He was suppose to put a different operating system on it too but never did get around to it (he quit before he could). I didn't know him outside of work so I was stuck with just the root which is cool and all but now jellybean has just come out for my phone about 2 weeks ago. But here's where the problem lies, I go to update my phone and the download and install looks like it goes fine, the phone is plugged in while i update, When the phone restarts after the install, the update is not on it and my phone asks me again to update. I've tried this dozens of times with the same result. I have reformatted my phone in the settings and I lost everything I had on it, but that's no big deal. What I ultimately want is for this update to go through. My question: Is there any thing I can do so that it finally updates to jellybean and this damn notification goes away? Sorry if this is a noob question but I'm really stuck and don't have a lot of techie friends that can help me out.
Thanks in advance

I think your problem is that you're not on the stock recovery. Official updates require stock recovery to be properly installed.
To fix this, first download this http://d-h.st/rZW . It's the stock recovery image. Next you'll need fastboot executable on your computer. This comes with android sdk (google it) but i believe can also be found separately. Then you flash the stock recovery on your phone by first booting your phone into bootloader (by pressing volume down and power button when device is shut down) and then entering fastboot mode by selecting it in the bootloader and finally running a command: fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img. Now your phone should be able to install the update.
Option two: as your phone is rooted, you could probably also use an app called flash image gui. It's available in the themes and apps subforum. With it you just first download the file from http://d-h.st/rZW on your phone, then open the flash image gui, browse the downloaded img and flash. After a reboot the update should install.
Please note that I quickly googled for recovery image and even though its named like the correct recovery img I'm not 100% sure its legit. Here in he forums are links to the correct stock recovery if you look around a bit.
Hope this helps!

You can not because your recovery isn't stock so you have to download ruu or ota and flash it vie cmd
Thanks alot guys for the quick reply im going to try this out now. may take me awhile as it looks like i have alot to learn to do this by myself but im sure ill figure it out. and i hit both your little thanks button
All right so after trying both of those out I am still stumped. When I try my first option that adb sdk program package and tried to use the fastboot program on it I get an error. Now I typed this error into your forums and searched around and found some hope but once tried it still didn't work. It's an .".dll" file is missing when I get home to a computer I'll post a link for it. I do understand the steps just this fastboot program won't load.
Now option 2 is what really messes me up because I swear my phone was rooted but I'm scared from trying to factory reset this phone so may ways I may have it only half rooted if that's what its called. Because after I bought this IMG flash program downloaded the image to my phone the program says that there no root so I downloaded and payed for another of this dudes apps that tells me if my phone is rooted and it says sorry has no root access. But if my phone has no root access then why would it boot into that teamwin screen...
I even took a 3rd option and clicked the phone image button on the teamwin start screen. After that flashes I get another error saying that it didn't work so my question now. Is my phone even rooted? And have I ruined anything so far like could I send it in for warranty or is it considers tamperd.
I have tried to explain this the best I can apologize for spelling mistakes. But any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.again thanks in advance.

Install htc sync on your pc to get the drivers. Then download viper ROM along with its boot.img flash script. Flash viper through that "team win thing" (lol
Then put your phone into bootloader, then fastboot USB connected to pc and run the boot.img flash script.
That would be about the easiest way to get jellybean on your phone.
Pm me if you need more help our can't find links.

So last night I emailed the creator of the app I used to check my root and here is the msg I got back. Today is a day off and I'm just spending the day browsing the forums and looking for the right tools to fix it. if you get this in mean time can you maybe help to point me in the right way. I really don't want to bug you guys on this forum I know how you hate people like me but I live in a small town and am really relaying on this forum to completely teach me everything from scratch. hopefully without bricking my device that's sounds horrible. Here's my email I got back.
Hi,
The Root Checker Pro results show the device does not have root access setup and unless you've erased and re-installed Android, the device appears to have never had proper root access. I would suggest relying on the same forum to locate the latest and most accurate directions on unlocking the internal memory write protection and then gaining proper root access.
Flash Image GUI will loading custom kernels and assist with loading custom ROMs on devices that have internal memory write protection, such as your HTC One S.
Thanks for the support!

Is your bootloader unlocked? You can check by (with your phone on) hold "volume down" and "power" until button lights at bottom start blinking and the screen turns off... At that point let go of the power button but keep holding the volume down button And eventually you will see the boot loader screen. At the top of the screen it will either say locked or unlocked. Check and report back.

Ya its unlocked but now thats the only screen i can get to i tried to flash that stock image and when i did my phone went into some scfeen that showed a phone and some triangle with an explanation mark. my phone either boots up now to a htc quietly brilliant screen or if i hold the volume down button when its off it goes to that boot-loader screen that shows unlocked and tamperd at the top this is all i really know. Guys im sorry im trying to act like i know what im talking about but in all honesty i really have no idea. im really just pissed now that i even touched it cause it was working fine before besides the wifi constantly shutting down and bugging me to update to jelly bean.

I think what you should do is:
- find ruu matching to your carrier and download it
- relock the bootloader
- flash stock recovery
- boot into bootloader and go to fastboot mode
- connect use cable and wait till phone screen shows fastboot usb
- run the downloaded ruu.exe on pc and wait for it to complete
- on successful completion your phone will be same as you got from a store
Just note that flashing ruu will cause hboot upgrade as well.
If my post helps, remember to use the thanks button.

wouldnt that "ruu" be what the gentleman in the very first reply in option 1 gave me? i have the file and tried flashing with the one button root tool kit by hasoon2000 i clicked on flash recoveroy then chose the file ville_recovery_signed.img. and let the black screen (beleive its called cmd) do its thing but really it looks like its doing nothing and my phone wont boot up the main screen where i can receive texts or make calls. thanks
Ok so i found a friend that understands the way you guys have explained this. Now the unfortunate part is that the virgin mobile (canada) RUU file is extreamly difficult to find. So my question now is do you know where i can find this file i have searched the forums and google but with no luck. im sure once we find this file my phone will be fixed then im not touching it AGAIN! cant explain how much i appreciate all your guys help and patience with me.
Thanks again

I cannot seem to find an ruu for my phone from telus and trying to flash the recovery will not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I emailed HTC and asked for it. if i get it i will send it your way.
Heres my email back does this mean that my phone is broken and garbage now or could i flash it with rogers/telus/bell and then sell it to someone on that service provider or even switch mine???

Finally got it, reunlocked my phone, pushed out a stock recovery image using the One S all in one tool and was able to download and install the update.
really and you where in the same position as me but on telus right? My phone is still broken but is it good hands at the moment so hope its fixed soon really starting to miss having it.
Mine is the S3 model and its not rooted but the bootloader says it RELOCKED. So I get the notification yesterday and whenever I try to update it keeps rebooting back to the bootloader. Any solution?
so I have tried to root my phone 5 times now using the methods that are in other forms here. idk what I'm doing wrong the only thing that doesn't seem right is that when I go to download mode it says wait for the drivers to install well it never finishes it just stays at 0%. so ive finished the process and when it says wait for a moment and you will get a "#" to let you know its finished. it happens immediately after I hit enter I get that. so I don't know that's what I'm noticing that's off. someone please help. ive triple checked drivers and redownloaded every file
thanks in advance
In the same boat i believe it is because it has something to do with the zv8 update. I haven't seen much that say it word works with it. I have tired a member of times it says it has rooted but when i install supersu it says no binary installed
The root method is there in android development if im not mistaken I'm on ZV8 and rooted. You must not be following instructions as they are.
Read the forums. Solution is there.
If you really want help or have time to help me, you must know the full story
Guys please, I want your help, I am very, very tired of this problem
I had rooted my SM205F
I put it on "ODIN" and it really worked
And I rooted successfully
Now there is a problem
When I restart the phone or turn it off
Or when it runs out of battery and put it on charge
Suddenly back to Download Mode
And when I restart my phone, the same thing happens, which is going back to the Download Mode again
I thought for a while and said, "Ok, let me put the root file again and flash it, I think I'll get out of this mess." I did this and it worked, then I restarted my phone and then found myself also in the same place..When I put any file it really works, I am still in the same place and the only solution is that I am working completely software for the device
This means that I always delete everything on the device
This went on for two days and I couldn't bear it anymore
So I found another way to root
Which is to install "TWRP" recovery on the phone and root it instead of the "ODIN" program, and I did that today
And I succeeded in making a root
But I found out that I was still stuck too
I tried to find a way out by using "TWRP" or writing code, but it didn't help
I don't want to delete everything on my phone and do the same routine every day. This makes me hate my phone and hate something called root.
And I came here because I heard that this place is wonderful and that there are people who help each other solve other people's problems
This is a beautiful thing
Therefore, I want your help and benefit in order to overcome this problem
I have no problem getting stuck here
The problem is that I don't want to delete my phone data let me say for the 11th time
If you have a solution .. please help ..
Right now I'm still stuck, but I'm not going to do anything. I want your help
Thanks.
