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.

You can use every bootloader with every recovery.
You just need s-off to flash a custom recovery.

So... I have a S-on Desire S unlocked with HTCdev, rooted with superoneclick but I can not get the 4EXT recovery working. App is installed and all my partitions are ext4.
I get the red triangle when I go in to Recovery but I even haven't flashed anything. Just trying to make a backup first.
Is there anything else I have to do to get the recovery working ?
Try flash recovery in fastboot. 100% need to work then

Do you mean I have to install it in fastboot?
In start I was on clockworkmod but later I got cache probelms and I changed to 4ext but clockwork I did flash in fastboot.

OK. I uninstalled 4EXT and flashed the recovery image with adb / fastboot.
Now I have a recovery indeed. Thanks man...
I used this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314629 more specific the quote from "Skanob " how to flash it.
Next step is to install the (touch) app again end see if that works to...
i was craving some aosp so I wiped then flashed aokp. Want to switch back now, so I rebooted to recovery but twrp splashscreen shows for 2 seconds, then screen goes black. then the phone reboots into normal os. i tried reinstalling twrp via goomanager to no avail. will flashing the img make any difference? any one else have this issue?
ok i tried flashing the twrp img and still no go. gonna try ruu'ing now unless someone jumps in with a solution.
Are you rooted and bootloader unlocked?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
yes... i've been around here for ages. just this problem is very weird. tried erasing recovery via fastboot and says fastboot remote not allowed FAILED. gonna ruu now.
if ruu dosent work try relocking bootloader by using the "fastboot oem lock" command i believe and then ruu

Not sure if this is really a tip or not, but this worked for me. I hate seeing that "Tampered" warning in my Bootloader.
Now that I am S-OFF, when I flash a new radio via fastboot, then reboot my bootloader, the "Tampered" warning goes away. Can anyone else confirm this? Thanks.

Flash the radio.img via fastboot, not the zip.

Here's exactly what I did:
Downloaded the new OTA that Behold provided yesterday.
Unzipped it, then unzipped the firmware zip that was inside.
Pulled the radio.img from inside the firmware folder.
Flashed the radio via fastboot, (it will probably fail depending on your HBOOT) then rebooted my bootloader, and the "Tampered" was gone and hasn't came back.

Ya I trying to be lazy lol but will try that in a bit.
Writing radio with fastboot flash radio fails here, doesn't matter which one. hboot is 1.06, device is s-off.
D:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (34345 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.590s]
writing 'radio'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 2.621s
fastboot reboot-bootloader right after didn't do the trick as well. ****
This didn't work for me either with hboot 1.06/s-off. I understood we needed and engineering hboot to flash a radio from fastboot.
I have hboot 1.06, before s-off i can flash radio with fastboot without any problem, with S-OFF i can't flash with fastboot.
But i can flash on recovery with this Sense-Radio-Installer-V4.zip

The link is in the General thread named "Just another 50mb update"....I am on HBOOT 1.14
Again, the radio flash failed, which is what I expected, but the warning did disappear for me.

Tried it, it pretended to be successful but was not and tampered is still there. I am on hboot 1.06 with s-off.

Interesting. I'll try this method on my HTC One XL. So far it hasn't worked, but I'm very curious now. My HOX has HBOOT 1.09 so I guess it might not work. Regardless I'm going to experiment.

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?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
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.
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

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.

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

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!
