[Q] TacoRoot working?

hey there,
first of all
my desire s
*** LOCKED ***
saga pvt eng s-off
hboot 2.00.2002 (pg8810000)
i'd like to know if the "taco root" is working for my desire s and my aims.
since i cant download it anymore i cant try it, but i like to know if it would work if i get it somehow. sooner or later it should be up again.
my aim is to flash a unbranded stockrom like "RUU Saga S HTC Europe 2 10 401 8 Radio 20 4801 30 0822U 3822 10 08 04 M release 225161 signed exe" and root it afterwards (is it the best choice?) there for i need a supercid right?
to get there i need an unlocked bootloader like revolutionary would provide me. but for revolutionary i need another hboot version, which i can only downgrade if i alrdy got a unlocked bootloader. right?
is there anyway to get where i wanna get to without using htcdev? for some reason i dont wanna use htcdev.
else i should go for:
unlock with htcdev.
downgrade to HBOOT 0.98.0000
use revolutionary for s-off
change cid
run unbranded ruu
gingerbreaker
thats it?
thanks so far

[Q] HTC One X (AT&T) HTCdev Unlock problems

My friend and I are having problems unlocking his HTC One X. we've tried various tutorials and followed many threads but have had no luck. We've tried the One_X_ATT_All_In_Kit_v2.1.1, Root-one-x and OneXRootOneClick with no luck. The bootloader will not unlock, we kept getting an error code 160 and MID not allowed. So no Unlock_Bin was generated. It has been upgraded to 4.1 via the AT&T update.
Bootloader screen reads:
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.14.0000
RADIO-0.24p.32.09.06
OpenDSP-V34.1.0.45.1219
eMMC-boot
Nov 26, 2012, 18:37:14:-1
If anybody can point us in the direction of where we can go to root the phone, that'd be great.

Try asking in the Evita forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
This forum is for the International version (Endevor)

I'm sorry about that, is there anyway a Mod can move this over to that forum? I don't want to create another thread for the same issue

Request sent.

2.14 vs 1.14
Thanks Elvis.
Yea too bad we can't spoof the cid as before.
Sent from my HOX w/CM10.1 4.2.2 s-off

I believe, via the all in one toolkit, we were able to get the CID to change to 111111, but only after a few tries. I'll have to check back with him if it indeed did change.
So what you guys are saying, is unless somebody finds a way to crack JB, there is no way to unlock the bootloader/root?
Is it not possible to run the RUU that would place him back to the android and hboot he had before? (Don't know if it was ICS or what it was)

Can't run a ruu for older firmware without s-off.
But if you actually achieved supercid, you should be able to unlock, root, and s-off.

Are you positive about that? Because I was able to run an older RUU on my HTC Evo 3d, and got the phone to an older firmware without S-Off..
We'll have to check for sure on the CID and report back when we can.

Different phone. Newer ruu's check for hboot versions. Won't work on this one.

[Q] Telstra One XL Help.....

His profile says he is

Yeah, but still needed to check. Have you thought about re-unlocking your bootloader? It's been modified in the past which might have something to do with your update problem. If you unlock your bootloader you'll be able to install a custom recovery and then you can install whatever ROM you like. We have the stock Telstra Sense 5 Android 4.2.2 ROM in our development section. We also have a few other Sense 5 ROMs to choose from, ranging from stock to tweaked.

The thing is that it hasnt been messed with.I got the phone from a HTC rep that i know ... he had it in his draw for over six months ...I just wanted the stock update but maybe rooting might be the easier way

It definitely has been messed with, phones that are s-off and have SuperCID don't come out of the factory like that. Somewhere along the way someone has done those alterations to the device.
There is just one problem I've realised, your phone has a SuperCID of 11111111 which has been blocked by htcdev. You're s-off though so you can actually change that as many times as you like using fastboot. If you want to unlock your phone you'll need to change it to 22222222 using the following fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 22222222
You can then check the new CID by using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
Once that's done you can go to htcdev and go through with the unlock bootloader process.
In order to do the above process you will need to install adb/fastboot and HTC drivers.

No problem ... thanks for that ....I have rooted my one x before HTC_023 fairly basic but my mate swears that the phone came straight from HTC as a Tell us what you think before we send you more kind of thing .. Cheers for the info ...
Actually one more thing ... is it possible to do a RUU update with this to 4.2.2?

There is no RUU for 4.2.2, the only way is to run an earlier RUU and take OTA updates to get there. Since you can't get the OTA I guess that isn't an option though.

Within 30 minutes drive from me no doubt
Supercid and s-off from factory or not still means you are off the official path.
Things I might do:
fastboot oem writecid TELST001
Then try the OTA again
or
RUU back to 1.89.841.9 as a RUU exists for that, then ota forwards to 5.06.841.1
or
Unlock bootloader
Flash Turges 5.08 firmware zip and then take one of the Sense 5 ROMs. There is a stock Telstra ROM even.
PS nag the HTC rep for a more recent RUU, eg 2.40.841.4, 3.17.841.2, 3.17.841.9 or 5.06.841.1 and share with us

He has s-off does he need a token or even need to unlock at all?

I have often wondered the same thing, but I've been assuming that in order to flash TWRP recovery you need an unlocked bootloader.
It's nice to see a few Aussies on here by the way, I'm in Melbourne myself.

Just in case .. i got the unlock code from htc deV But when my cid was 11111111 .....would that matter if i use that code now that my cis is telst001?

Htc one x help scared croatian :(

Hello guys
Sorry for my bad english but il try to be precise as i can. I bought my htc on ebay it says new and it feels new. But after i read may treads here it seems its not new . I have problems with automatic software update it freezes on 20% then it reboots after few minutes, if i regard this problem the phone works fine. But im fustrated i want new software . Now i got in boot loader in this is what it says:
++++locked+++++ - in one tread i read this should be relocked
evita pvt ship s-off rl - i belive this is s-off i need your confirmation
cid - 11111111 - i dont understand fully this yet but its a good thing i belive
h-boot 1.09.0000 - dont understand what this means
RADIO - 0.16a.32.09.17_2 - i belive this is software for my phones antena
open dsp - v25-1-0-32-0405 - dont know if this is imortant
emmc -boot
Apr 2 2012, 21:08:24 - is this last known software update i manufacturing date
Know i need you help to explain this thing to me and if its safe and what do i have to do to install new software. Which software whould you
recommend and maybe can i install viper xl
Thanks

The phone definitely isn't new. You have SuperCID (11111111) and s-off which means it has been unlocked at some point. But the good news is you can easily unlock the bootloader at htcdev, then install a custom recovery, and then install Viper if you wish.
Sent from my Evita

Thanks for the reply, now i never unlocked bootloader can you give me some advice on the safest way to do that and where can i see when bootloader is unlocked, sorry for dumb questions but if i dont ask ill never learn

Can somebody send me some links where can i find instructions on how to unlock bootloader, make recovery image and then how to install viper xl rom

Is your phone an at&t model? If it is it'll have the at&t logo above the screen, otherwise it'll just have the HTC logo.

You already have SuperCID so you can go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader.

The phone is s-off, does the OP even need to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP, flash ROM, etc.?
You typically won't receive OTAs for AT&T phones outside of North America. So that is probably why the update is failing.

[Q] Where do I begin?

Hi guys,
I was in the rooting scene for the HTC One S in its first year of release with the Viper Rom. After the phone overheated, HTC replaced the motherboard, and removed literally everything I had done to it. A couple months later, I re-rooted my phone with HBOOT 2.15 Roms to only notice that I was stuck on the 2G-Only issue, and HTC was happy to fix that and remove everything again.
So here I am with a nothing-done-to phone, It has been almost a year since I did anything to the phone (yes running pure stock for a year is hell), and I do not know where to start. Anyway, here is my phone's information:
CPU 1512 Mhz
Android Version: 4.1.1
Software Number: 3.14.531.19.710RD
Kernel Version: 3.4.10-g0f5103e
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT: 2.15.0000
RADIO: 1.13.50.05.31
I am familiar with the terms because I have been a long time user in the HTC One S forums. I just need a guide so I don't ruin my phone because I'm a little rusty. Do not give me a step by step, just tell me what I need to do in chronological order, and I think I can find my way around the forums for the tutorials. For example, should I unlock bootloader first then S-OFF. or should I S-OFF first before anything.
Please help me out, as I think I have been far out of the game for too long. And I am very eager to get back to work on this phone. I miss being rooted.

oh, and I want to be able to use the most stable LIBERTY ROM without being stuck on 2G

I would try and get S-OFF if possible. This phone needs it.
Try moonshine.io. If it works, it will do practically everything for you (unlock bootloader, S-OFF etc...).

Okay, in what order should I do it?

or Unlock bootloader then S-OFF?

Read the moonshine.io page. It tells you what it does.
Good luck!

The latest moonshine for One S T-mobile is for version 3.14.531.11. Would that work for 3.14.531.19?

you have to make sure you have devunlocked, root access, and adb fastboot files working.
