So my onex is unlocked and supercid. But I installed the ota. My cid is still 111111 and my bootloader is unlocked. Is there any way to install recovery and root?

Can you get to bootloader?
If so, it's just a matter of fastboot flash recovery [filename], then copy over a rooted rom and flash.

So to get current I would just flash to the newest ruu, then root it (can you root 1.85?), then open the downloader, then flash cwm?
Just trying to cover my bases.

Is your objective to update to 1.85 and remain rooted?

If you are currently bootloader unlocked, then go into fastboot etc and "fastboot oem unlock" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675312).
If not, then flash new RUU.
Afterwards bootloader unlock.
Then flash CWM.
Finally flash Superuser through CWM.
Then you can flash custom ROMs (hopefully more are coming!!!).

I am not unlocked. I'm still on 1.72 just debloated and rooted. To unlock my bootloader, I just use htcdev right?
So I will flash current ruu, then unlock with htcdev, then flash cwm, and then flash the root and ill be ready?
I got a question, in the future will you always have to be on that certain ruu to flash that particular Rom? I come from the infuse where once you were rooted and had cwm, you could skip around rims by cwm every time, didn't have to do anything prior to each custom rom.

I've been going through some Rom/Flashing issues with my HTC One S and having the RUU for my device to start all over again flashing back to stock recovery, relocking the phone and using the RUU to get myself back to stock.
To give you a run down. I just got my phone and I've spent the last month figuring this whole thing out due to this amazing online community on here.
I use TWRP 2.2 as my recovery, unfortunately I dived in, and failed to back up my original non-rooted stock Rom but that's still ok.
[I know nooby but bearing in mind this has all taken place within like, two weeks.] I used to switch effortlessly between MIUI v4 and the stock rooted HTC Sense 4.0.4 android just by backing up and restoring the roms but then I flashed to Paranoid Android and I think I fiddled with something during that flashing process which is why I'm probably getting some arbitrary technical issues now and I'd like to start over!
So anyways, any of you fine gentlemen and possibly ladies out there who could point me in the direction of a Uk HTC One S T-mobile RUU?
Thanks
Unfortunately none. I need one, too.

What do you need yours for exactly? Maybe I can help you out

I have a tampered bootloader, and the flag needs to be reset. That's why I need one. And I have a T-Mobile CID.
I know there are ways to tamper and/or change the CID but I don't particularly want to do that myself.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I can't change CID, because I don't have an unlocked bootloader.

You can use hassoon's HTC one s all in one kit to unlock the bootloader can't you?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Do a full wipe, flash something like ARHD, change the CID, flash HTC Europe RUUs.
Yes, but I don't want to root... I need to restore from an RUU because that will remove my tampered flag.

I had a similar issue with my orange uk branded one s but after installing twrp i was able to change my cid from orange to a generic htc cid. I then re installed stock recovery, relocked the bootloader and then was able to install the european ruu. This worked fine and bootloader no longer says tampered although it does say relocked. I believe this is the best you can get if the bootloader has been unlocked at some stage.

How do you change the CID using twrp? What rom do you flash?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
I have never unlocked though. Only tampered. So it's still locked but tampered.

Is there an easier way of rooting after running ruu 3.18 update if I was already s-off?

If your bootloader is unlocked just flash twrp 2.3.3.1 or under. Then you can flash su or wipe everything and flash a ROM.

I've unlocked bootloader and installed twrp also flashed su and tried to flash CM10. I wiped cashe and and then installed CM10.1 and now it freezes on "HTC quitly briliant" screen and some warning notes under it.. what to do?
Is it necessary tu S-off?
Wipe everything not just cache. Then fastboot flash boot boot.IMG right before or after flashing the ROM. The boot.img should be extracted from the ROM you're flashing.

No. RUU doesn't "lock" anything. If S-on, you typically need to relock the bootloader to run an RUU (but as mentioned, running the 3.18 RUU with S-on and SuperCID will brick the device).
But with S-off, it doesn't matter if bootloader is locked or not.
Just bought a used One x At&t..I want to Root it but i dont know if its bootloader is locked or unlocked.It has got the Stock Rom & Stock recovery.
It says S-off in the bootloader menu..I want to Root it..Should i just go & Flash Custom recovery then go for the Rooting?
Well if you flash recovery and the bootloader is locked it will fail so there's not really any harm in trying.
Though it says In the bootloader if it's locked unlocked or relocked

Bootloader is locked..Guess i have to unlock it first :crying:
Plug it in, fire up cmd prompt and type adb getvar cid
If it comes back as 11111111 simply unlock with htc dev, its super simple.
Then fastboot recovery.
You can always try the fastboot cmd
Fastboot oem unlock
Can't remember if that works or not lol. Probably not though just a thought since its already s-off
Since it is s-off you will ALWAYS be able to root very easily. :thumbup:

What's it matter if your phone has a tampered and unlocked tag?

Hello,
First thanks to any for all help I'm sure I'll receive. Im pretty sure of what I need to do but I'm a resident physician and can't afford to not have a phone by making a stupid mistake.
So I currently have supercid, am unlocked and rooted with boot loader 1.14. To update basically any roms or my current AOKP ROM I need 2.14. To get 2.14 I need to S-off, relock boot loader and run the 3.18 ruu, and reflash recovery.
Is this correct? The only other I'm confused of is relocking the bootloader, and them unlocking it again.
Thanks for any help.

You only need s-off to run the 3.18 RUU, locking the bootloader isn't necessary and only creates more work afterwards. So all you need to do is go here and get s-off, then you can download the RUU from here and run it. Your unlocked bootloader and s-off status will survive the RUU process but you will need to install TWRP recovery again afterwards.

Will /SD survive the process as well? I have TWRP 2.6.00 on /SD at the root level and have been able to access it from the bootloader.
Thanks again, Timmaaa!
Your sd card shouldn't be wiped during the RUU process but you might want to make a backup just in case.

how do I root again after RUU? do I just need to flash recovery image?
Just flash recovery and then a rooted ROM.

This might be a dumb question but how do u run the 3.18 RUU? Do i plug my phone via usb and then run it? What do i do?
It's an exe file, so all you need to do is open it in Windows while your phone is connected in fastboot mode, then just follow the prompts. Make sure HTC Sync Manager is uninstalled, make sure no other programs are running, make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off.
