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

if adb push is worked, we would have rooted the phone already.

I already dumped it from an S-off device.

Big Thanx to Paul from modaco!
Here you can find the link for Paul's solution. On my One S S3 works perfect.

But i will wait full version. Now we need to wait for roms? S4 roms do not work? ****.

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

Hello,
I can not find the original HTC One S Rom (RUU):

When is the HTC Sensation Rom on her ONE S Rome-based, but there is no download?
Where can I download it?
this was no update rom and is therefore not directly available. someone in this forum wanted to upload a dump though.
you can get most of it in the virtuous rom at rootzwiki...
I found this rom!

So I am looking for the original RUU

Restore the original state!
I have unlocked the bootloader HTCdev with but would like to restore the original condition. This goes as far as I know the rom with the original but I do not want to make the 1:47 on it.
Why do you guys keep posting in the wrong section?
This belongs in the General

once unlocked you can not lock the phone again, at least not by flashing some RUU.
maybe some hackers (alpharev? ) will find a solution some day...
How this is actually the S-Off?
When I unlocked the bootloader with HTCdev it is still not S-Off or?
Has anyone tried the rom from here?

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

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.

I think your supposed to install RUU's through fastboot

HTC One S updates

So recently i bought an HTC One S with an S3 processor which its country is of Asia. I am currently at europe. I still am on Android 4.0.3 and there doesnt seem to be an update for my phone. Now i know that 4.0.4 and also JB are rolling out, but not for my device. Is there anything I can do to solve this ?
Thanks :laugh:
I live in a country where HTC sell the S3 processor only. I had my cousin sent me HOS from US, big difference.
You might want to trade for an S4 though.
In the meantime you can search the development forum and look for an S3 ROM.
Not many but there are some.

HOS stands for Htc One S and a Rom is basically an operating system for your device that is nothing like stock, has tweaks here and there things that stock doesnt, and if you root you will.still be able to receive updates but you have to relock the phone and some other things I can't remember then you can apply the update, basically you can't apply update to a rooted phone its just gonna give you and installation error then reboot your phone I think but that's basically it for your questions, hopefully it was helpful to you

If you root, you can manually install all sorts of fun stuff. I think if you want to remain as close to stock and receive "official" updates, super cid is something you might wanna read about. There's a thread in the Dev Section by Torxx that I used to root my S4 you might wanna look over and see if that's for you. Make sure everything you decide to do is compatible with your S3 first though.
Edit: there's also another guide in the general section

Hi,
I've just rooted my htc one mini 4.2.2 before updating to 4.3 -_- (so i can't remove blinkfeed cause i get an error when i try to update)
I'm wondering how i can do that ? Do i have to unroot or can i bypass this error ?
After some searches :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598367
with dl links for the OTA file for 4.3
I could flash it with superCID "on"?
Or try the link before and update while in the system ?
Thanks
I'v followed the tuto before to get s-off and supercid (as i was s-ON). I had some difficulties but gaining root access by taping su in adb shell make it worked. I now have supercid and s-off but still can't install the OTA...
If i have well understand i should flash a stock rom before ? The fact is i didn't flash any rom i've just unlock the bootloader and root the device.
My build number is actually 1.32.401.2 and the thread i've followed to get supecid and s-off doesn't give this build number rom.
The dl links i've shown before points to an OTA file containing "1.32.401.2" in it's name so it may be compatible ? How can i trust those files as it's an 632Mb file (631.7) but the OTA is 630.55Mb . . .
OR,
I could directly flash the international 4.4 rom you gave in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665746 as my goal is having the most update system and sense (to remove blinkfeed) and be rooted to uninstall those f***ing gapps i don't want ?
It was much more easier with SGS3...

[Q] [i Need Help] Root Htc One X¿At&t? Official 4.2.2

Hello everybody on my first post in xda, i need your help, it is why i am here, i have a Htc One X of 16GB but with tegra 3, don't have Lte and it say that is from europe in the hardware info (Have HTC logo, don¡t company logo or at&t logo)(yoigo get that one to me, is free sim) and then i don't know if that one is at&t, evita, if is the XL, or simply one x international, i am just now
i was searching for how to root that one (and if possible flash that one) yesterday and today, i have linux installed, ubuntu 13.10, and all what i try to do fail or didn't work. (believe me, i read a long number of post and download a long number of files and try some different methods typing on the console.
I need your help to root my phone, i will accept to unlock bootloader, to edit hex, to flash 20 files, to downgrade my phone, and to burn my face (preffer to don't do it) if neccesary.
How can i do it?
All possible util data from my device:

Kernel 3.1.10-g7f360be
Compilation number 4.18.401.2 CL231174 (i was touch that 7 times then i am supposed developer)
Hboot 1.72
What is perfect to me?
My final purppose is flash cyanogenmod 10.2.1, if can't do want to simply get root access.
(Other possibility to me is flash that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2640571

You should have done some research before you installed the update, it patched the last exploit which means there's no way for you to unlock the bootloader or get root. You'll hav to wait and see IF a dev bothers to crack it on this device which is getting old now.

No you can't without unlocking the unlocking the bootloader and rooting. It's a fairly well established (and discussed) fact that official updates patch root exploits, that's why it pays to research before doing something like that.

When its answered on here there is no method to unlock the bootloader, this includes downgrading. If there was a downgrade method, you would have been directed to that. Downgrading is not allowed on Android without root.

By buying a phone from a source other than your carrier, and also asking to mod the phone to work beyond its intended features (even though WiFi hotspot is intended to work on just about any carrier version except AT&T) you put yourself out of the category of "normal phone user" and it also means you have to do the proper research. Not knowing is no excuse.
