As always I upload here new full RUU for EVO4G

Enjoy!
THIS ROM CANNOT BE ROOTED AND IF YOU INSTALL THIS ROM YOU WILL LOSE ROOT

Can we have a big disclaimer that this is NOT rootable and people will lose ROOT if they use this?

Thank you.
People are going to be dumb anyway but at least its there.

I want to see someone with Unrevoked Forever flash this and then see if they can indeed regain root...

a thanks to conflipper may be in order

Just tested and indeed S-Off remained so I was able to re-gain root with Unrevoked forever!
Edit: BTW I had to update to .79 HBOOT before using this it kept failing with ENG (.76) HBOOT...

Can anyone else confirm that? I'm sure that HTC must be able to patch up the S-OFF somehow, right? I doubt that you can be rooted 'forever'

does this install PRI 1.4?

Got a link to the .79 HBOOT? I'm thinking about trying it as well, what steps did you take to re-gain root?

Sure they can, but they will also do damage to all of their own test phones that have S-OFF.
And if they do, then I'm sure the Unrevoked team will do it again...LOLOLOL...

I can confirm that after using this I was able to regain root being as though I had previously installed unrevoked forever. Unlike a previous poster I did not have to upgrade to hboot .79. I just has to rerun the exe when I got the error.

Great question. Only one way to find out though. I'm downloading it now and will run it through DSIXDA's kitchen when it's done. If you beat me to the punch why don't you let the rest of us know

OK dude, I copied the rom.zip file from this .exe file, loaded it into DSIXDA's kitchen and, yeah, it's working just fine as a base ROM for cooking so far. I'll add root perms to the ROM, zipalign it and get it loaded into an AVD to see how it goes from there. I've been looking for this

[SOLVED] Best way to Root only

Hello!
Just wondering what the best way to gain root only is on my Desire S. Would it be SuperOneClick or Gingerbreak? That is, no custom ROMS or recovery, just root so I can run Titanium Backup and a couple of other root-only apps.
My Firmware info:
Baseband: 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
Build: 1.47.161.2 CL78999
HBoot: 0.98.0002
Radio: 0-3805.06.02.03_M
If it matters, I'm on a Vodafone UK branded model.
Oh, and like anything else, to reverse root, it'd just be to delete all instances of su and busybox on the file system?
Thanks a lot
Edit: Whoops! Forgot my disclaimer - I'm not a noob, but I'm not entirely sure what the best method is with the latest firmware without making any 'irreversible' changes to the bootloader.

You can run either of them. I used gingerbreak because of its simplicity. Just an apk which you install and run.
Also are you s-on or s-off?
Im pretty sure you can unroot using those two methods. But double check if you want.
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium

I'm S-ON. I'm willing to make it S-OFF if necessary - but I'll take a look at Gingerbreak. (Which I think will only give me Temp Root, which will be fine as I only want to back up a couple of apps!)
Thanks!

Well , I will say you should go with Superoneclick , As it has 99.9% success rate, where as Gingerbreak is at work everytime. I rooted my DS with SuperOneClick. Well if u r going with gingerbreak then Good Luck..

The only reason i didnt recommend superoneclick is because when i rooted my phone superoneclick wasnt available for desire s so i didnt want to recommend it but obviously if your saying its better than gingerbreak then it probably is. Plus gingerbreak worked first time for me. I think when you s-off it should give you permanent root

Both SuperOneClick and Gingerbreak didn't work, so I ended up using Revolutionary.io.
Seems to have worked well, even though I've voided all warranty (and the phone is only 3 days old!).

It's good practice to update this thread title with a prefix of [SOLVED] now that the issue is resolved, you can do this by editing post #1 and then clicking the Advanced edit button.

[SOLVED] Cannot for the life of me flash hboot on 2.2

i have an htc evo shift 4g that originally had 2.3.4 on it. i successfully (i think) downgraded the system to 2.2. but every single time i try to flash the hboot_eng.nb0 to gain S-off the md5sum comes back different than its supposed to be. funny thing is, its perm-rooted somehow. i decided to go ahead and reboot anyway and attempt perm-root and it stuck. no brick, no errors, no nothing. its fine. but as far as i have read i need to have S-off to be able to flash custom roms.
am i correct in this assumption?
before anyone tries to point me to an hboot flashing tutorial, be aware i have looked at ABSOLUTELY EVERY SINGLE ONE AND FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS TO A T!!!!!
any help would be absolutely appreciated
EDIT: SOLVED
ok so after thinking i did everything right (which i sorta did) i glanced through all the tutorials again and found the answer.
CREDIT GOES TO gzetski and unbrkshft AT ANDROIDFORUMS.COM
All I had to do was re-install 2.2 per gzetski's instructions. Then I followed the rooting instructions at the top of this post as if I was running 2.3.4. It was flawless. I was able to downgrade the hboot and S-OFF. The phone is now running CM7 and the owner is quite pleased.

so basically read the instructions found HERE but follow the instructions for 2.3.4
now im happily running JellyBelly CM10 :highfive:

You don't have to be S-Off to flash custom ROMs... but it sure makes it easier. Go into bootloader and let us know exactly what it says at the top, there should be about 4 lines.

Re: [Q] Cannot for the life of me flash hboot on 2.2
Yup, if you're s-on you can flash roms but you have to flash the kernel seperately, which means you have to carry around a computer with you whenever you go on a flashing spree

[Q/A][VILLEC2][ONE S C2] is there a S-OFF?

been reading about s-off and stuff like that and trying out things like that but it just wouldn't work,so i am curious is there a S-OFF for my device? or for all the S3 One S C2? all i can see is s4 variants..

nope, no s-off
[16:26] <jcase> lux, get supercid on your device
[16:26] <jcase> if possible
[16:26] <jcase> then come see me
[16:26] <dert> well i dont know lux, i m just curious with my s4 s.off i can run ruu
[16:26] <dert> ok thank jcase!!!!;-
[16:27] <lux> no method for geting superCid on s3
[16:27] <jcase> no method for s-off at this time then
[16:27] <lux> ok
[16:27] <jcase> lux, if the Htc One community wants to get an s3 model to me, i'll look at it
[16:28] <jcase> with the full knowledge ill possibly brick it

okay.. so lets just hope that someone will make s-off happen for our device

Maybe start with supercid first
i understood that we need to get supercid before we can get s-off?
So i think we have to start dig around mmcblks with a hex editor to achive that.
i did a little search and i think it could be somewhere in /misc, but don't let my n00biness guide you wrong. they have it in S4 on mmcblk04. i did same mod to my HOSs3 but cid didn't change so the S4-method doesn't work . Does anyone have any knowledge about the whereabouts of the cid?

yes, superCID is starting point for getting s-off

In fact, with this method cid will change. But spl will re-write it back at next boot. So it is not mmcblk0p4.

Just sitting there and doing nothing won't do anything. If you have basic knowledge of the Android/HTC filesystem and some adb commands you can try different things if they work. I'm searching on the internet how other HTC devices got supercid and I try the same thing on the One S. But it's not working out well because of the r/w bug on Trickdroid 6.

Thats good so u wont need a goldcard, u can use a wwe/eu ruu.
Unlock ur bootloader via htcdev then flash 4ext recovery. Click the link and download, then extract the PG88IMG of 4ext recovery and flash the recovery.img.
Plenty of guides here how to do that. Let me know once thats done.

Well I have 4ext recovery well pretty much everything I can flash custom just would like s-off so where would I find these ruu because HTC dev don't have them apart from Android 4.0 which is hboot 2. Unless you mean PG88IMG is like flashing a different version of 4ext? I'm sorry for all these questions just want a clear enough picture before I attempt the downgrade and thank you for helping me hopefully this one should be my last.

Can you check CID? That will help us to choose right RUU for your phone.
When you do misc_version successfully you have to reboot in bootloader and start RUU.RUU install from bootloader.Then it will check is your misc_version is ok.
