Don't forget to root your phone after S-offing.
It's be important for flashing a custom rom
+1 for the recovery

If he install a custom rom.it ll be already rooted
Unless he install a ruu

Exactly, that's what I'm writing.
he must be S-off with RUU rom, and root too, without problem. It's more practice to making all operations in the same time.
But he said that he want to flash a custom rom, so he must be:
1 - S-off
2 - Root
3- Nand backup (more important)
4 - Flash rom custom
Our posts are complementary

I directly flashed a rom after s-off

Revolutionnary patch, do a quick search and you'll find link easily.

Oh come on
Nandroid backup is useless
I bought my ds and s-offed it directly
No nandroid
No root zip
When you install a recovery,you don t need nandroid unless you want to install a ruu
He want to install a rom,so if the rom is breaked,there is no problem.downloading it again,he can reflash it.
The only thing that is necessary, it s the recovery.with this you can do anything

I was on a lower firmware than the roms I was flashing
So I found a GB rom and flashed and it worked
Then I did S-off since it was already unlocked
Updated my firmware and now everything is fine I can flash any rom I want

You don't have to get s-off, what hboot you on? Do you know how to fastboot a boot.img? The download is on his Google drive under working folders.

I am running HBOOT 1.09.000...I am familiar with flash. Believe it or not I'm pretty savvy with all this. It's just the newer things to flash I'm not familiar with like the re locking...it's probably my ADD kicking in...lol

Of your s-on you'll have to relock your boot loader to run it. (fastboot oem lock then fastboot erase cache then fastboot reboot RUU once rebooted with silver/grey HTC logo then start RUU on computer)

Is there a specific Rom I should have already installed on my phone?

ruu updating??

Ok Im wanting to install some 3.4 kernel roms but needing to update to to the latest hboot and fw I am S-off, Super CID and rooted can I just run the ruu as it is? with out fear of a hard brick? or will I have to revert anything back, Im running slimbean and on 1.14 hboot

If you are s-off you can just run the ruu, flash recovery through fastboot , and then flash a ROM.

SuperCID will stay. You'll just need to flash recovery again, and then either flash superuser to stay stock rooted, or flash a custom ROM.

If running a ruu and s-off no need to flash a recovery. Ruu does it for you and no need to lock bootloader if your s-off as well

Yea thats what I always thought, was just bein sarcastic.. So for the sake of the thread and the O.P. To retain root you would have to flash recovery after running the RUU correct? Because the gentleman that I was originally responding to stated that theres no need to flash recovery, that the RUU does this for us...

Yes you need to flash TWRP again after you run an RUU. The RUU only flashes the stock recovery.

Ya I used that one click tool for XL to get the recovery..now on to further questions instead of making a new thread i decided to reuse this one.. anyways after I got through all that i decided to go ahead and flash some custom roms and ended up with the same results when ever someone sends me pics or videos through text, they will download fine until i connect to a wifi, then i get an error saying "couldn't download now, please try again later. Even when I disconnect from the wifi i get the same error and sometimes will not even get data untill I wipe and re flash but everything works fine with the stock rom.. what could cause this i have tried messing with the data options in settings and nothing works. rom's I have used are
Root box
slim bean
xylon
all of them have acted that same and all use the 3.4 kernel. so I'm stuck on stock until i can figure out whats going on :crying: so any help is greatly appreciated :good:

I've never used WiFi with those ROMs so I'm not sure. But are you sure your apn settings are correct? Also, have you tried toggling airplane mode on and off after disconnecting from WiFi?
Sent from my Evita

Ya tried the apn settings and no go also airplane mode toggle will bring back 4g most of the time but still can't download any mms messages
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Faults like this are usually caused by incorrect apn settings but I could be wrong.
Sent from my Evita

Is this on AT&T or a different carrier?
Am I reading correctly, WiFi data works in general, mobile data works in general, just mms is not working?

Yes wifi data and mobile data work but mms won't download with either on custom roms only but will work fine on stock
