Hi All,
I am fairly new to all this, I have read countless posts and done everything I can but I am stuck.
I have a HBOOT 2.14 currently with S-ON.
I have installed TWRP in recovery but no custom mods work due to the HBOOT version.
SuperCID is 111111111 and is already set.
I want to be able to S-OFF my device so i can downgrade the HBOOT and use the custom roms.
I ran through the facepalm S-OFF procedure, it all runs correctly, although upon reboot it still says S-ON.
Does anyone know why this would be? Is there something I am missing?
I am doing this some the TWRP recovery mode as that is the only place I can access adb commands currently.
There is no working ROM currently installed, CM 10.1 is installed although it can't be used because the touchscreen doesn't work.
Any information people can provide me to get all this working would be of great help.
Happy to donate/pay someone to help me via teamviewer or whatever.
Thanks,
Tabmowtez
What version of twrp are you using? 2.3.3.1 ?

v2.4.4.0
I have heard that 2.3.3.1 works better for your hboot and you can also downgrade your touch panel firmware and get cm to work.

Really? I haven't seen this said anywhere? Do you have any references to the procedures or the TP firmware?
There is a thread down the page hboot question that addresses this.

Yes that's the one I posted, it still requires S-OFF.
It seems all the fixes need S-OFF and that is the one thing I can't seem to get working as there is no ROM installed so I can't use supersu?
Have you tried flashing a sense based Rom like viper using adb to flash boot image? Just to see if you can get phone working?

I will download ViperX3.4.0.zip and use the boot.img to flash it from adb and see how it goes.
I have tried AOSP and CM Roms and all have had the same issue of the TP not working though.
I'll see how this goes.
Just to confirm, it seems all ROMS based off of the 3.17 kernel and higher work with S-ON.
I have the HatkaXL-evita-v4.2.5_Sense5Elements ROM working after I did the following steps:
Place boot.img in sdk platform tools folder
Boot phone into fastboot usb
open your command prompt from the sdk files folder. (shift+right click-select open command window)
type: fastboot erase cache
type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
type: fastboot erase cache (just to be safe)
On phone select bootloader, then recovery.
Once TWRP loads (I'm using 2.4.4.0) go to wipe and select factory reset then wipe system and both caches
Then install the rom and go through setup
once setup is complete, UNCHECK restart now so it leaves the rom and goes back to TWRP.
Click on clear cache/davlik and then click reboot
Settings application keeps on crashing so I am going to try the aokp_evita_jb-mr1_build-4 ROM now after a backup.
I still have issues getting adb to recognise the device once the ROM is booted but that's a separate issue for now...
Are you sure your getting error 92 and not 99 when you flash the zip for s-off cause if your getting 99 you need to fastboot write your cid then reboot and try again
Sent from my One X using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
I'm definitely getting the error 92. My CID is already a SuperCID so would I have to do that again?
I have the ViperX ROM running now so I am happy, would still like to S-OFF though so I can try CM etc. after a hboot downgrade.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
When I did the s-off to my One XL, the error 92 is normal and I just followed the steps in this thread and it worked fine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
That is the same thread I follow, I will try again now that I have a working ROM and see how it goes.

All good, I successfully S-OFF'd my device and downgraded my hboot to 1.09. Hopefully this means I can put any mod on now without flashing from fastboot first and having the touchscreen work!

suggestion to re lock his hox was mentioned but his reply didn't say if he locked it, just said he tried to run the ruu. Bet it still needs locking! Also OP do you have super cid? If so he doesnt need 1.85 right? He can use the 1.73. I would still probably use the 1.85 like rpopo recommended though. Also if you have done everything correct (re locked and 1.85 if not super cid) the USB drivers can make a difference. I was super cid and locked and ruu kept failing. uninstalled my HTC drivers and ran the HTC sync program and used those drivers...Worked first time after that! Just have to remember to not actually have HTC sync running!
Wats a super cid..? Srry I'm new to rooting

Try the 1.85 ruu. Relocking and running the 1.85ruu usually gets you back up and running.

You have to be able to use adb on your computer to relock. There is a sticky with the info on how to install drivers, use adb and relock your phone.

Then run 1.85 ruu, make sure you have the USB drivers for the phone installed and then once you do that, re-root and unlock the bootloader.
It works ran the 1.85 ruu. Ten minutes later running perfectly/ :laugh::good::good::good:

If you flashed a good ROM and your stuck in hboot, use fastboot and use the following command 'fastboot oem boot' that will force your phone to boot.
Stay unlocked push recovery in fastboot again
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Start the RUU. Finish the install, then back into hboot, select recovery
Invest in a copy of titanium backup and use between rom flashing hence there isn't a micro sd card slot in the HOX

Hi I have an HTC one X at&t with aokp installed now im triying to install the stock rom with ruu I try 3 of them and is not working, The RUU is not recognizing my current image. I do factory reset, I try installing in Boot mode but not luck, please help.
First, make sure you have the correct ruu or it won't run.
Second, you have to relock your bootloader before you run an ruu. Go into fastboot on your phone, then open the fastboot cmd prompt, type 'fastboot oem lock' and your bootloader will be locked.

I've been running AOSP ROM's on my evita for a while now, but apparently with the 3.4 kernel you now need hboot 2.14 or higher and mine's at 1.09. My phone was unlocked with S-ON, but I did "fastboot oem lock" this morning because I read that it's necessary for an RUU. I downloaded the 2.20 RUU and tried to run the installer but I always get an Error [170] USB Connection Error. I have the HTC and adb drivers installed successfully and have tried to run the RUU as admin in both Sense and fastboot (bootloader). I'm a bit stumped and would really like to get AOSP back on my phone.
You need to S-off first.

Should I use facepalm for that then?
EDIT
I got s-off, but still no go. Still the error 170.
I know on my old Incredible I was able to rename the rom.zip from the RUU as PB99IMG.zip and put it on the root of my sdcard. Then in hboot it would detect it and ask to flash it. This isn't happening on my evita though. Is there a way to do that, or is that only for older htc devices?
Put phone into fastboot and try again. Check error log to see if it fails to identify your phone.
Open command prompt and type adb devices, if it does not see it then try installing new drivers. If it does see it then enter " adb shell reboot oem-78" that will reboot your phone in to RUU ready fastboot. Open ruu and try running it again.

Okay, I think I found out what I've been doing wrong. I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119610 and it turns out that the file I've been trying does NOT include the 2.14 hboot that I need. The one I need is the latest JB release, but someone said that if you flash it with superCID and S-ON that it will brick your device. I have superCID but S-OFF, does anyone think that will brick my device? Should I flash the RUU with the 1.09 hboot (which I'm running) first, and then flash the newest RUU? Also, it looks like the link I provided offers flashable OTA's of each update. Would those work/be recommended for TWRP?
Change cid to cingular "cws_001" I think. Super cid can cause brick.

Well I didn't do that...haha. I read on another forum that TWRP doesn't support that cid check function or something and to just remove it from the updater-script so I tried that and flashed the latest OTA zip in TWRP and it failed after a few steps. I tried booting and it didn't get to the boot animation so I rebooted to recovery and restored my backup. I'm going to try a stock zip without the modified updater-script and restore my CID to normal and try again.

Well, I restored the CID to CWS__001 and I still get that check_cid error

AT&T HOX from Android 4.2.1, with 3.18 firmware. Attempting to get to CM 10.1
Rooted and flashed TWRP via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41830252&postcount=201
Moved on to Facepalm S-off http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071, was getting error 99.
Used the Viper solution from ChongoDroid on page 17 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38186473&postcount=163 using viper from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443
Install Viper from TWRP, Viper install stops at 0.00%, will not progress. Hard restart via power button battery remove sim, attempted s-off again. At some point I ended up getting the correct error 92. Success! Run 'fastboot oem boot', get list of errors, wait for boot into Android. Boot stops at white HTC splash screen, android will not boot.
Panic, hard restart back into bootloader, and this is where things go hazy (it was 5 in the morning by now). At this point I'm sure I put in some commands I should not have via adb (don't remember which ones), and did a factory reset via hboot. Recovery now brings me back into the bootloader. Bootloader shows *** TAMPERED ***, ***RELOCKED *** and *** Security Warning ***. I'm still S-ON with hboot 2.14.0000.
When in fastboot, my phone will not list via 'adb devices'. FAQ Q16 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172) says if I did a factory reset in hboot, my SD mem is wiped and i need to format it from device manager. Device Manager shows my phone as Android USB Devices > My HTC and options are Update Driver Software..., Disable, and Uninstall. Updating drivers gives me a drivers up to date notice. No option to format the SD
Word is that if it turns on, it isn't bricked, but if I can't get my adb to recognize my phone, what is there that I can do to fix it? I'm on 64 bit Windows 7.
alright, first off, you flashed a ROM for the international quad core One X and you're lucky not to have bricked your phone. Secondly, what you're gonna need to do is run the 3.18 ruu and restore your phone to factory settings with that. That's the only way to recover from factory reset in bootloader. Before you do, you need to be S-Off. Which you are, correct?
Edit: re-reading this, it appears you're not s-off. I'm gonna need to call in some help here because 3.18 ruu with SuperCID will brick you, but I don't think you can use a lower RUU since you're s-on. Anyone know what to do? If you are s-off and I just misread your post, then go ahead and run the ruu.
If it turns on, there's always a way to fix it!
Adb requires an os to work, since you can't boot to your os, no Adb
That being said, in bootloader, you should be able to access your phone with fastboot. Boot to bootloader/fastboot with your phone plugged in to your pc.
Do: fastboot devices and confirm that fastboot commands reach your phone, then we will move on to the next step.

Yes, sorry. I realized my mistake as soon as I posted, but since I'm a new member I can only edit or reply every 5 minutes.
Yes, I am S-ON. S-ON, not S-OFF.
And aha, yes. 'fastboot devices' does list my phone.
Good good. So first you'll want to unlock your bootloader again since it's relocked. Just flash the unlock_code.bin or whatever it's called again that you previously used.
Sometimes if you're relocked it does the unlock process like it's going to unlock but then leaves you relocked. If this happens press and hold power to simulate a battery pull and try again. It should work eventually. Might take several tries.

So I'm waiting on ViperXL to download (going very slowly), but if I'm looking to get to CM 10.1, and have root with TWRP, do I need to flash a ROM with TWRP first or can I do the Facepalm S-Off and move straight to CM 10.1 without flashing a middle-man ROM?

So I'm waiting on ViperXL to download (going very slowly), but if I'm looking to get to CM 10.1, and have root with TWRP, do I need to flash a ROM with TWRP first or can I do the Facepalm S-Off and move straight to CM 10.1 without flashing a middle-man ROM?

Viper xl will work fine that's what I used to s-off. Not with the new cm10.1 kernel you have to ruu up to 3.18 before you install it.

hes already on 3.18
If I'm using ViperXL as my ROM during S-Off, will I want to use ChongoDroid's extra steps when installing ViperXL or should I only need to do those if the Facepalm S-Off steps don't work by themselves?

You should be able to S-OFF with viperxl without any problems just by flashing viperxl and following the S-OFF thread right after.
So ViperXL finally finished downloading, and I've sent the command to push the .zip to /sdcard in prep to install it with TWRP, but it's been stuck there for 15+ minutes. Should I be worried? Should I restart?
Hey Guys,
This is my first post, so excuse me if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about.
a few days ago i tried to connect to my wifi at home and it was not picking it up although i was inside my own house. so i thought i should restart my phone. well after trying to restart it it got stuck in a boot loop. it would load the htc screen then start loading the venom logo then it shuts off and reboots the htc screen. i tried installing the back up, re installing the latest venom rom and even trying to put on a entire new rom but nothing has worked(it wont even let me install a new rom it errors out when i try) i doubt you will even get this but its my last effort Ive spent the entire day and all night looking for some way to fix this but i have yet to find anything. please if anyone one has any know how about this i could really used the help. i rooted my att htc one xl(evita) about 7 months ago using the method from onexroot.com and have never had an issue with this phone till now.
when i try to install a new rom via twerp it said install failed, im really stuck with this and could use some help thanks in advance.
just incase its not clear the phone is rooted running a custom rom(team venom) and im using twerp as my recovery program
evita pvt ship s-on rl
hboot-1.14.0002
radio-0.19as.32.09.11_2
opendep-v29.1.0.45.0622
emcc-boot
not sure if that helps at all

flash twrp 2.6 advanced wipe everything except sd card, reflash.
also since youre s-on you have to extract the boot.img from the rom zip and flash it with fastboot after flashing most roms. should not be the case with viper but i would do it anyway if vier doesn't boot after the above steps.
fastboot flash boot boot.img

well so far nothing has changed.
Like Exad said, you're s-on so you need to manually flash the boot.img from the ROM using fastboot.

Try running an RUU. This fault (or at least a very similar fault) happened with my fiance's phone and now there's only one ROM that will boot on it (an old build of cm10.1). You may be facing a hardware fault (that's what's wrong my fiance's phone), but I'd suggest running an RUU to see if that helps.

You might brick if you ruu, I would try flashing other roms first. Make sure to check the md5 to make sure that the download isn't corrupt.
But
If you must ruu make sure it isn't 3.18. And you will have to change your cid back and relock.
Fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
To change your cid back.
If you ruu, you cannot ever the the 3.18+ ota until you reroot and achieve s-off

so i should just try a diffrent rom? when doing that i should flash the boot img using fastboot then install the rom and then do a cache whipe correct?
Did you Wipe system in advanced Wipe last time before flashing the rom?
For any rom you ever flash always follow the steps I layer out in my earlier post. It will not be different for any rom.
