Help about unlock bootloader and install oficial ROM

Please, I need some basic help:
I have a HTC One V, he's unlocked bootloader and root.
I unlocked my bootloader using a tutorial that is here Forum HTC One S. Same method.
Now I want to install ROM an official from another country (I want a European ROM).
I need to lock the bootloader again?
Can I install this ROM for HTC Sync?
Could anyone help me with this question? Thank you for your attention.
(Please do not move the question for another forum, because no one in another forum, and devices V and S are nearly equal.)
Thanks.

for official ROMs you need an RUU. whether or not a One S RUU will run on a One V device is unknown..
RUU's can be found in development section

But, and the question about bootloader:
I need lock bootloader again, or not?
HTC Sync install RUU, with bootloader unlock ?
Thanks !

yeah. i have done it like that.. you should be fine..
but if your flashing One S stuff on a One V there is no guarantee it will work
you take the risk flashing files meant for a different phone.

I downloaded the RUU original HTC One V.
I will install using the HTC Sync then, since i do not need S-ON again.
Thanks for help.

I think your supposed to install RUU's through fastboot

Can we start an initiative to root the S3 HTC One S

Hi... more and more of us are getting the S3 version of the One S yet no root is available.
May I request for an initiative to root this version of the One S? Perhaps we can discuss here what is required to root it, for example a copy of the boot.img or something... and how the people who created the root for the S4 One S can help in the S3 too?

I second this motion.

find out how to dump the boot.img from your current build, compare it to that of an s4 version (rooted of course) and see how you get on.
it could be something simple, however you will need the right tools to view the boot.img file.
maybe a linux / ubuntu user can join forces with you
theres no point waiting for someone else to do it, if everyone had that attitude it will never get done

I can do it... can someone just tell me how.. and also... dump me a boot.img... as mine is.. well.. gone, as i was one of those early test pigs that tried a s4 recovery and realized it failed.

I have an S3 with me now, Can you tell me how to dump boot.img from my phone?:fingers-crossed:

Hy! Maybe you can try this:

C:\RootTools>adb push busybox /data/local/busybox
failed to copy 'busybox' to '/data/local/busybox': Permission denied
if adb push is worked, we would have rooted the phone already.

I already dumped it from an S-off device.

We don't even have a working root for S4 ora 1.78.......

A little upside on the S3 version is it will probably have some cross compatibility with Sensation (XE) that uses the same chip. That may boost efforts for developing custom ROMs for it. E.g. CM team posted a screenshot of Android 4.1 running on a Sensation already.

Do you know how change S-ON to S-OFF? And change the CID
I tried to change the CID by updating the file /dev/block/mmcblk0p4, apparently it works with S4 but I think with S-OFF not S-ON.
Thanks

So now i can easily root my One S C2? to unlock the bootloader I just follow the steps in the sticky thread ''Root, unlock, instal recovery...'?
And last question, can I unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and so get the warrenty back?

Yes, to unlock it you can follow the sticky. To root you go to the modaco.com forum and follow the steps there (thread is something like 'testing: superboot ...') You can Togo
Relock the bootloader but you can't get warranty back because it says 'relocked' instead of 'locked' in the bootloader

Read the stickies and search please
At least 5 people have asked this question over the last week and I, for one, am not going to help any more. All the information is out there if you just put the time and effort into looking for it.

Newly Rooted

Hello All,
I just rooted my HTC One X (on ATT 1.85 software version). I have still not unlocked bootloader. I am looking for some good stable Sense based ROM since my wife is going to use the phone. I am also looking to have OTG and MHL support on the ROM. Can anyone suggest a ROM for this? I looked around and found that ElemantalX V3.0 has OTG support. Can anyone suggest me a ROM?
Additionally, do I need to unlock bootloader to flash a new ROM? What kind of precaution I should take while flashing? I am doing it on SGS2, so I know bsasics but not familier with the process.
Thanks,

Hey there! If you're looking for a close to stock experience I suggest clean Rom...and yes you need to unlock bootllader..with HTC its either bl unlock or s-off and we don't have s-off yet

You're either already unlocked and don't know it, or you're not really rooted. You can't root without unlocking first.

Thanks Guys,
I will check for unlock (may be I don't know and am unlocked). I used 1.85 one click unlock, but didn't use HTCDev.
I will also checkout CleanROM.
By the way are there any Jellybean roms? I wanted to have ability of transferring photos using NFC.
Thanks again.

With 1.85 and the one click you are not bootloader unlocked. You still have to go through HTC Dev. As for ROMs, if you are trying to stay close to stock then I would go with CleanROM also.

Yeah there are plenty of JB ROMs in the original android development section. But since you want sense ROMs I would suggest looking in the android development section, the top 2 ROMs there seem to be CleanROM and ViperXL. There is also a JB sense ROM but it is very unstable.

[Q] How to get back to stock on Orange UK

Hi guys
I have been looking for a while for the ruu file for the sense 3.0 official update but I can't find the one for Orange UK
I tried footballs post and it wasn't there so I was wondering if anybody knows how to get it
My Desire S is rooted, S-OFF, unlocked boot loader and running custom rom and recovery
This might just be a stupid question but I am quite unfamiliar in some ways with the world of developing

Why would you want to get back to stock? And if you still want to, just run the official GB RUU, which is debranded with no Orange bloatware.
