Hello,
I have an HTC One S (villec2) from India. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted when i had android 4.0.3 running. It is on that version ever since. Now i want to install CM10 for the villec2 which needs the updated HBOOT. I looked through a couple of threads in the Development forums but couldnt get a conclusive method. Because this may brick my phone if done wrongly please tell me the step by step method of updating my firmware using fastboot commands. I know how to flash a ROM so just the firmware update procedure will do.
Thank You

Hello
My phone received an update to 4.0.4 number 2.15.401.100
My question is: will i lost my root when apply that update? For now i'm waiting with downloading.
It will not work on a rooted device. Try unrooting, install update and then re-root

relock bootloader and install stock ruu then update and root again
i think it will raise your hboot above .13 if it isn't already
that will make it more difficult on flashing custom roms/kernels/radios, if you do that
i don't think you need to install ruu, just stock recovery and relock. i have seen different posts on whether you need to do both. might want to research that. definitly backup phone and sdcard first to pc
this should be in Q&A also
Hello, I've searched the forums and cant find anything specific on this so here goes:
I have a HTC ONE which I bought from three network in the UK. It is S-ON (CID is H3G_001) and I have unlocked the bootloader. I would like to install the latest Android revolution HD but I haven't been able to find the correct firmware which they recommend to flash after installing a new ROM. I know people have flashed this ROM already but I don't know the following:
-If your phone is locked to a network, does it affect any part of the (unlock bootloader, root, install rom process )?
- Has anyone installed this ROM on a HTC ONE M7 device with S-ON without flashing firmware.zip ?
Hope someone can help
Cheers
Hello friends
After going through so many guides here and elsewhere, I have become a little confused by something.
I have the hboot version 1.27 and firmware 3.32. Therefore I would be using the guide by auggie2k to gain S-OFF (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617)
but not this guide by Jon.W (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870233) as it is for firmware 3.33 - Correct me if I am wrong.
So assuming Auggie2k's exploit to be used, but first I need to be HTCDev unlocked (no problems here). And then I have to be "rooted".
Now, I am simply a par noob so please help me rooting my device.
do I have to download a fastboot package and clockworkmod recovery image and also SuperSU. And then flash the downloaded CWM recovery image with the help of fastboot package, then rebooting the device in recovery mode with the same recovery image?
Is there any handy guide for "rooting" only on these forums for htc sensation (I am getting a few methods on google search but to be honest I dont trust anyone else than xda-developer users).
Ask me any questions if you have any.
Thanks a lot.

2. Flashing a recovery
Hey guys, I have rooted my Htc One SV - K2_UL phone on :
- android 4.1.2 sense 4+.
- software number 2.14.61.8
- Network is T-mobile UK, although from research it seems the Orange UK equivalents will work.
- Bootloader shows ***tampered*** and ***unlocked*** however I am currently S-ON.
- flashed ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.2
- HBOOT 2.00.0000
(let me know if I have missed any info which is needed)
I am looking to update from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 with sense 5, but to my understanding, that will require the stock recovery.img, and so far I havnt been able to find it anywhere online and was wondering if anyone here could help me out. I originally rooted so I could flash cyanogenmod ect, only to find it wasn't available on the SV :L and now it bugs me not being up to date on software. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, or suggest another solution
Also, is there a chance any other stock recovery.img would work? should I try extracting the recovery.img from the 4.2.2 OTA update for my device and flashing that on my current 4.1.2? or is that just a fast-track to a bricked device... :S
Its not only stock recovery, its also stock boot.img, stock system partition (no apps deleted).
My guide here will bring you to 422, if you follow exactly the instructions.
The steps in short:
- get S-Off with moonshine
- downgrade hboot (see my guide)
- flash RUU to get all back stock (and unbrand in your case)
- run the updates
- enjoy
Hmm ok thanks for the reply, only since I don't have s-off, my system partition has system write protection which doesn't allow me to delete/modify the system partition. Should this not mean it is still 100% stock boot img? The only difference being the SU file in the partition, although my understanding may be wrong aha

Yes, you are right. But most people who have tried to go your way, had not much success.
But you can try it first of course.
You will find 4.1.2 files here.
Or you can try to use the 4.2.2, which you can unzip from this firmware.zip.
None of the k2ul files from that first link match my software number, would that not be an issue?

Just to keep you posted, I downloaded the 4.2.2 update on my phone, extracted the recovery.img through my PC, flashed the 4.2.2 recovery through CWM and deleted all SU and BUSYBOX files from my system partition and now it looks as if the update is successfully installing hopefull there are no disappointments when the update finished. Thanks for the help mate
No problem, keep us updated, if you had success.

Success! Phone is now running android 4.2.2 sense 5.0. Thanks man. I'll consider rooting again one day if there is ever more custom roms which support the SV, I was a huge fan of cyanogenmod on my old Desire S and was disappointed to find it couldnt be done on the SV
Hi there been a while since I've flashed stuff on htc devices and i'm trying to get dev edition 1.55.617.4 rooted odex rom on my device, i'm s-off and super cid rom installs but won't boot, i'm presuming its boot. Img or firmware related? Just after info if I extract boot. Img and firmware from the rom and flash separately will this solve the issue and will it remove twrp?
Currently on dev edition 1.12.617.6 CL639737
Thanks for any advice

Change the SUPER CID to BS_0001, install the original RUU from: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_HIA_AERO_UL_M60_SENSE7GP_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.56.617.1.exe, then proceed to install the TWRP and Root with Windroid.
Hi there it won't let me change the CID to what you've stated above it says invalid, also the link i think is for the ATT version, i'm in europe so believe i need the GSM version ?
I can change the CID to HTC__001 for example but not what you've quoted...
Really struggling to get my phone updated to 6.0.1 i've only had it a few days tried numerous methods but not getting anywhere fast I thought if i was S-off and Super CID you could pretty much flash anything as long as it was for your correct phone model ?
Hence me presuming my issue was more boot.img and recovery.img related ?
I downloaded the official Dev edition RUU from the HTC Dev download section but that won't install either...
Getting confused i'm sure i'm probably missing a pretty easy step somewhere...

I think you have the wrong forum ?
Got it sorted in the end, changed the info.txt file in the firmware to suit the phone, even though it said it failed when installing the firmware it had actually installed and then the 6.0.1 dev edition rooted rom installed... Happy days...
So i'm not sure if the Mid or Cid was the issue but either way when i changed the info.txt file to suit it worked...
