So to get current I would just flash to the newest ruu, then root it (can you root 1.85?), then open the downloader, then flash cwm?
Just trying to cover my bases.

Is your objective to update to 1.85 and remain rooted?

If you are currently bootloader unlocked, then go into fastboot etc and "fastboot oem unlock" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675312).
If not, then flash new RUU.
Afterwards bootloader unlock.
Then flash CWM.
Finally flash Superuser through CWM.
Then you can flash custom ROMs (hopefully more are coming!!!).

I am not unlocked. I'm still on 1.72 just debloated and rooted. To unlock my bootloader, I just use htcdev right?
So I will flash current ruu, then unlock with htcdev, then flash cwm, and then flash the root and ill be ready?
I got a question, in the future will you always have to be on that certain ruu to flash that particular Rom? I come from the infuse where once you were rooted and had cwm, you could skip around rims by cwm every time, didn't have to do anything prior to each custom rom.

I need to S-OFF, Install ClockWork Recovery,and obtain SuperCID, then I install the custom rom.
I don't need to root it first, right?
You only need to root and install recovery,personally I never did the siper cid etc and I flash roms on mine.
It will take you ten mins tops but just make sure you read all the documentation first. Oh, do the nandroid back up also incase it goes tits up

I thought you need supercid to install custom rom. And if you want supercid, you need to install ClockWork Recovery and s-off. Am I right?

Super CID helps when you need to flash official HTC Roms/RUU from different carriers or unbranding a carrier phone using the HBoot method. It really doesn't come into play with custom Roms flashed with a custom recovery.
You do need to have either S-Off or an unlocked boot loader to flash a custom recovery such as ClockworkMod. Then you can either root your current Installed Rom or flash a custom rooted Rom.

You need to have ClockworkMod recovery installed to flash custom Roms.
There are 2 methods that allow you to flash ClockworkMod. 1. Run revolutionary to S-off your phone. 2. Use the HTC Unlocker to unlock the boot loader. Method 1 is the best option.
Sorry for the nooby question but what would be an advantage to having superCID and being able to flash other official Roms/RUU's?

I suppose if you bought a phone from a private seller that was unbranded or branded for another area, and you want to use the official ROM for your area.
Some people just like to play with stuff, so...
Other than that, I can't think of any, but who knows?
You can flash any custom ROM you want without SuperCID.
P.
I bought it yesterday and when I tried to go with the rooting process, when I rebooted into the bootloader, it said ***UNLOCKED*** and above that it said ***TAMPERED***. I figured that it was already unlocked so I resumed with the process. I installed the CWM recovery and the SuperSU.
However, it still say "Ship S-On" in the bootloader. Am I free to flash ROMs or am I supposed to get it to S-Off somehow?
S-Off rooting has not been achieved yet. Unlocking bootloader and rooting with the current methods will allow for custom ROM installation.
hTc One S
One s doesnt have S-off yet,but you can flash rom s anyway .you will just have to fastboot the boot or use twrp recovery ,
I would stick to fastboot tho as twrp doesn't always flash the boot for me.

So I flash the ROM first. Then If i want to install a kernel, I install through fastboot? In that order?
For example: I flash This ROM first and then I reboot into fastboot in the bootloader to flash This Kernel?
Ya you can flash kernel first or last doesn't matter , just fastboot boot.IMG reboot to recovery and flash Rom

I got my HOX about 2 weeks now. I really want to flash it with a custom Rom. Tried lots of rooting instructions with no success. Phone is now back to factory reset using RRU method. I got the bootloader unlock. No success loading Clockworkmod on boatloader recovery.

not sure how to remove the "tampered" status but i got it back to stock using RRU method and load a stock Rogers Rom. you need to re-lock it before using RRU. my status now is Tampered and Relock.

Did you use the 1.94 RUU or did you try to Flash the 1.73 original?
You must root on 1.85. Scripts don't work on any other version.

Best way to root at this moment would be to unlock your bootloader using HTCDEV and flash TWRP recovery and then flash CleanRom 4.5 which will give you root as long as you kepp that rom on your phone. There could be other roms out there that will give you root access but I've flashed a few and CleanRom 4.5 was the only one that got me rooted. Until they come up with a way to perm root on 1.94 I suggest using this method.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can root with any ROM.
If you unlock and flash a recovery-
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
and you cant get it to boot the custom recovery heres the trick, after you flash the recovery type
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img

Couple quick question regarding locking the re-locking the bootloader.
First off I have the ATT One X rooted with TWRP Recovery. To go back to stock if I so choose, would I have to reflash the stock recovery then do fastboot oem lock before running the ruu or can i just fastboot oem lock the bootloader without flashing the stock recovery, then run the ruu?
I think I have to reflash the stock recovery first before relocking the bootloader. If that's the case, can someone link to the stock recovery img file?
I also read that if you're currently rooted and has your CID, you can update to 2.20 and root again...is that still the case?
Thanks

You can just fastboot oem lock, the RUU will take care of restoring the original ROM.

If you want to go back to stock just fastboot oem lock then run the RUU. This is what I did. You can then re-unlock the bootloader and install SuperSU to reestablish root. It's pretty easy. Keep in mind, once you go to 2.20 you can not flash boot.img or radios from TWRP. You have to use adb to flash the boot.img, then boot into recovery and flash the ROM.
If you go into the Dev section, one of the first threads covers this and actually has a guide so you wouldn't have had to ask a question.

Here. You don't need the 1.85 RUU though. Just use 2.20 and skip the manual update from AT&T.

No, it's the opposite: You can't RUU until you relock. It will fail if you try.

Oh ok...gotcha...so fastboot lock bootloader then run the ruu...great.
Like I mentioned before...I just got a little confused because people on YouTube is also flashing a stock recovery IMG before running the ruu.

RUU will restore your recovery to the stock recovery.
Just keep in mind that once you lock your bootloader you won't be able to boot your phone until you run the RUU. So make sure you're ready to go with the RUU before you fastboot oem lock.
Hi everyone, I've yet to successfully load a custom ROM on my ville but I have got s-off and supercid. I'm currently on relocked bootloader running the total stock android 4.1. I'd just like to check through the steps I need to take to try a new 4.4.2 ROM. I was thinking of trying twistedkat.
1. Unlock bootloader (I already have the unlock file from htcdev)
2. Load custom recovery (I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 ready to go)
3. Flash SuperSU
4. Flash Rom file (do I need to unzip or flash the zip file in the recovery?)
5. Flash 4.4 Gapps
Any other steps I've missed? I'm on hboot 2.15, kernel 3.14 from the stock updater.
Thanks very much

1- if you didn't unlock your bootloader, you have to
2- i don't know which twrp you have but you shuld use the one from twistedkat thread (it's different from official one)
3- it's unrelated with custom rom flashing
4- DON'T unzip the rom, just flash the zip from recovery
5- you have to flash g-apps if want to use google's apps (gmail, playstore, etc.)
you don't need anything else AFAIK
have fun

By the way i recommend you to change your cid back to original, because supercid has no advantage over original cid. But one day you may want to turn back to stock and if you forget that your device has supercid it will brick the device
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
Do not forget to flash boot.img in fastboot! To do it, you need to extract boot.img from ROM zip file to same directory with fastboot on your computer and and reboot your device to fastboot mode. Then run this in terminal/cmd: fastboot flash boot boot.img . If you don't do this, your device won't boot to OS. Flashing SuperSU with a custom ROM is unnecessary since root usually is included in custom ROM.
EDIT: You don't need to flash boot.img, because you have S-OFF. Didn't notice it first.

Can I have sense as well? Is there a flashable sense zip file or something?

You will absolutely lose sense, and there is no way to install sense with kitkat roms right now for our one s
