PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL text,
also i used a method from here to remove simlock, and it work great , but it still says simlock in the list with FASTBOOT, RECOVERY ...

The latest OTA/RUU installed the new HBOOT which can be UNLOCKED using the HTC Unlock method. Since you were previously S-OFF before the OTA/RUU, you still have S-OFF even with the LOCKED HBOOT, so you should be good to go.

don't forget to enable usb debuging mode from settings
have you installed htc drivers?
also use usb 2.0 ports
and make sure that in your bootloader screen it says fastboot usb(when you connect the device to pc)

Depending which method you use, but I would suggest to remove all usb devices connected to your PC (not keyboard and mouse) before you start.

This is the error I am getting in the bios
Sending unlocktoken in <0kb>
Okay [0.156s]
Writing unlocktoken
Failed remote: unlock token check

Is there something wrong or does it seem I am doing something wrong?

Hi
greetings
1 just tell me did you got your motherboard changed as after changing motherboard you cannot use htcdev.com unlock method
2 If you cannot use this method to unlock your bootloader its totally fine use the link which i have given you before ,you can s off with that meathod and then their will be no need for unlocking bootloader
regards
3 i just checked that your token shows 0kb are you sure as mine was 1kb it dosent make a difference but i think download the unlock token again and see

I had to send my phone off for repairs so maybe I will try the method you have posted, and yes its wierd the file it 1kb but its saying 0kb in cmd

[Q] Re root after OTA JB Update?

okay so ive already bricked 1 device because of the ota update my question is can i root/re-unlock the boot loader with out bricking this device? also ive been reading that htcdev now blocks supercid 111111 so if going to try getting another unlocktoken will i need to fastboot write cid 222222? also if my device is S-Off then why is it when i try to write in fastboot it returns the error Failed(Remote Not Allowed)... where in my evo 3d allows writing and it also is S-Off and Relocked

S-off on our device does not let you write certain things with a locked bootloader. Why? I'm not really sure.
You can't brick unlocking the bootloader unless you're crazy stupid and doing things wrong.
Do you not have the original unlock token from when you unlocked last time?
If not, does your current rom have root? If so you should be able to hex edit your Cid.
If not you're sol until 3.18 root comes out.

You'll have to wait until 3.18 root is achieved then unfortunately as you cannot change your CID in your phone's current state.
For future reference, don't bother relocking the bootloader after achieving s-off on this phone. It's pointless and creates issues like this.

okay but to verify i am s-off if i flash the unlock token what are the chances of a brick? mainly asking because i am wanting to do the 3 button remap mod and the new elemental kernel as well and only reason i relocked the bootloader and ran the JB ruu is because my basebands all except for lte kept losing signal at random

Can he not write a different cid since he's s off?

Apparently not. Which doesn't surprise me as there are many things I could not do with s-off and a locked bootloader. This seems to be a quirk of the one xl

With the evita, s-off + super cid is not enough, you require an unlocked bootloader aswell.

SuperCID + S-Off. for unlocked bootloader Evita

Hi Guys
I am trying to get SuperCID, S-Off, then --> 3.18RUU and TWRP2.6.0.0 --> CM10.1 or 10.2
I have a phone that i Unlocked bootloader on HTCDev a long time ago. Rooted, TWRP2.6.0.0 running CM10.1 but because newer kernels require newer HBOOT so i am trying to get it.
I have TELST001 as CID
the phone in bootloader shows

This should work too:
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne "11111111" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20

Once you get Super CID, you can get S-Off using the method found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
which worked wonderfully for me just this morning.
Then, once you've verified that you have S-Off, you can update your HBoot using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156686
I used the third zip listed, worked just fine.
If you do not have S-Off and you attempt this, the chance of bricking your phone is incredibly high.
When you get to green bar, as mentioned in the instructions, let it sit for a few seconds, and then move on to the next step without waiting for it to go away (because it won't...).
Once you're done with that, I would clear the cache using <fastboot erase cache>, flash your recovery software using <fastboot flash recovery "recovery software name here"> and then boot to that to flash your rom.
As I said, I just did this all this morning, and I'm happily running a rom that requires the updated HBoot. So best of luck!:good:

That's not entirely correct. It's not just the hboot you're meant to update. You really should run an RUU.

but when i go into recovery it gives me a big exclamation mark
so presumably the TWRP is gone
So i used goomanager to install. that didn't work.
there's no root (after RUU) presumably normal
what is the best way to get TWRP on, then flash latest CM10.1
Many thanks for your help!

Yeah just boot into TWRP, do a full wipe (cache/dalvik cache/system/factory reset), and flash your ROM (and gapps if it's an aosp ROM).

Help with S-off, relock boot loader, and 3.18 ruu

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.
Sent from my One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

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.
