Are you trying to root your phone or what?

@op, check your PM's please.

Holy ****. S-off with 1.17bootloader with the stock bootloader...

I'm envious to say the least, where did this phone come from? Network? Supplier?

Would you mind dumping your hboot and uploading it to a dropbox/upload site?
Code:
cd c:\adb
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img
It would be useful to have this hboot version.

You'll need to install the android sdk, download the google usb drivers from it and get your phone set up as a ADB Composite Interface. Then make sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone and you'll be able to run the above commands.

You shouldn't be getting a root denial from that command. It looks like HTC *really* bolted it down. Out of curiosity, have you tried downloading Superuser from market? If you have an unlocked boot loader, there is a very very VERY slight chance that you might be able to su out of the box. Doubtful but its worth a try.

just updated everything and got this also SU didnt work ]:
Code:
C:\Users\********>cd c:\sdk\tools

Really?? read his post he has a link where you have to read if you want to install it.

Good stuff

Thanks for your work.
When I run the .bat, there is an issue with the first command and I get the message:
remount failed: Operation not permitted
It then runs through the rest of the process, chucking up errors here and there and ultimately, after a reboot, seems to have had no effect.
Any ideas? I have USB debugging enabled, the correct drivers, etc.
Thanks,

Hi,
I don´t know anything about mac and adb/apktool. I think they exist, so first you may use them for SystemUI.apk & BlueSky.apk. Extract my zip and copy files from both Updatefolders in your proper decompiled folders. Recompile & sign, then push to phone.
Regards
idephili

yeah, s-off, root, but standard rom.
I have flashed a different battery indicator if that makes any difference?
(Thanks for the quick reply btw)

Maybe "adb root" will help.

Hmm, it seems there is an issue with how my phone is rooted.
adb root returns 'adbd cannot run as root in production builds' and abd shell gives '$', but then su permission denied?
Phone is rooted though with Superuser installed and working, and TB, so not sure what is going on.

rosie nav bar
Would it possible to do something like this for the rosie nav bar, to make it transparent or glass even?

Maybe a dumb question, but is your system mounted before you try to run the batch file? If you're not sure, try adb remount and run the batch file again.
I remember having some similar weirdness back before Revolutionary when I tried to run the Easy Fr3vo OC/UV batch file package, but I hadn't mounted the system before I ran it.

Hi,
I have a question :
to install need to connect phone (debug usb on) only chrage, right ?
and, maybe it works for EVO 3D gsm versione ?

[Hack][Root] SIM Unlock for FREE Desire S

Right i been searching around trying to unlock my friends Desire S this method Worked perfectly.
1) You need root
2) You need Terminal Emulator (free from the market)
Open the Terminal Emulator app and type:
su [enter]
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 [enter]
you will then get loads of codes and other stuff.
Look for your IMEI number and the unlock code will be above. If u get just a date then sorry you cant get the unlock code Write the unlock code down and put a sim that normally wouldnt work into your phone and power it on. then enter your unlock code u just wrote down
look at the piccy below the unlock code is marked with the arrow.

This will only work with Sim LOCKED devices. as mine is already sim unlocked by htc i cant unlock mine and i get a weird code. but my friends unlocked fine with his code I take NO responsibility if u break or damage your device. this is for educational purpose only
the code may not exist in a factory-unlocked phone (only a carrier-locked one).

i need people to confirm this working for them

I also got the same key. 00000108 as in your screenshot. I've not tried yet. As I'm in the office and I don't have any other sim card with me now.
Is there a way , a shortcut key or somewhere in settings where I can put the key. ?

colleagues whom I can ask for their sim have iphone, and their sim doesn't fit in desire s.
there should be a secret code to enter the key.

I've just tried it, but after entering the strings command the reply is "strings not found" are you sure that the command is written correct (with all the spaces correct). Or maybe I am doing something else wrong? I have root and s-off...

I've just tried it and the command works fine for me. i got the similar result as shown in the screenshot. Hope this helps.
This is what I entered in the console.
su [enter]
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 [enter]

I get the same code.... 00000108 and i don't think all sim locked Desire s have the same code.

I tried according to the instruction and It didn't worked.

Has this worked for anyone? Did this ever work for anyone from the HTC v forum where it originally came?
Swyped from my DesireS

I'll take another look I know that the only code I used to unlock a phone so I know thas the command but I think I might have done the wrong block location. I'll update it 2morrow guys been really really busy

any updates HTC-phones?

But have a look at my "adb and fastboot. what is it?" thread. It will tell you how to ensure you have everything you need installed first. You cn get to it via the sticky roll-up link in my signature.

Red my thread. Ensure fastboot is set up correctly and test if fastboot can see your device please. We cant really troubleshoot unless you do this.
If fastboot CAN see your device, flash the images separately (manually)
eg
flash system, then flash cache, etc

you clearly did not read the thread and links within the thread.
go read what rootsu told you to read now or you wont get anymore assistance.

[Completed] Xperia Z 1 s locked bootloader and cannot Mount system in RW

I have Xperia Z 1 s, that I manage to network unlock but the bootloader is locked and it says it cannot be unlocked.
Apart consequence of this is I cannot Mount the system partition in read write mode using various command suggested in other XDA posts. I am not really very eager to use a custom rom but I can always use one if it is not such a bother.
I would like to know if anyone had luck mounting the system in read write mode with a bootloader that is permanently locked. If I can Mount system in read write I will be able to uninstall all the crap ware ... and have the equivalent of custom install using the stock ROM.
So there are two aspects to this question I would like to know how bootloader can be unlocked which is marked as "unlock no" ( we attach pictures) and you that is not possible at least give me a sure shot method of mounting system in read write mode.
From what I know about the the bootloader unlocking there is TA partition and some posters are warning about replacing the TA partition which will cause permanent bricking off the device
Still I wanted to know if anyone has achieved success in changing the bootloader unlock no flag to unlock yes
And if unlocking bootloader is not possible then how do I Mount /system in read write mode
Thank you very much
