[Q] HELP ? SuperCID

So i finally decided to root my phone. i rooted it and got CWM recovery and well i tried updating the firmwire to ics so i can flash an ics rom. and when i updated the firmwire it said cid error update failed. I rebooted my phone but it was stuck on bootloop. i assumed that the firmwire update went through since my phone would't boot up. So i went ahead and flashed the virtous rom and now that doesn't boot up either. i found out that i had to SuperCID first before i flash the ICS Firmwire. But in order to SuperCID my phone has to be On The Home Screen Wich i can not do since my phone is stuck on bootloop >.< ! Help ???

You are soff?
Did you have fastboot/adb setup?
Can you go into bootloader and post the hboot, radio, son/soff status.
(to go into bootloader remove battery... Put it again then press volume down and power button together... You'll get a white screen.. Post the details from that..)
First of all if you used PG58IMG.zip for firmware update then either remove the file from sdcard via a card reader.. Or just boot into bootloader without sdcard in your phone

You can either superCID or add YOUR cid to the firmware file.
Either one is pretty simple. I'm going to assume that you have adb set up already, but if not you'll need that first.
SuperCID:
remove or rename PG58IMG.zip from sdcard
reboot into bootloader (power+vol down)
from adb/fastboot directory:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
put PG58IMG.zip back on sdcard
boot into bootloader again and let flash complete
Edit PG58IMG.zip:
extract the zip file
locate the android_info.txt
edit the file with notepad++ to add your cid matching the format of the others listed
compress all extracted files into a new zip and flash

You need to go to fastboot from hboot screen use volume up/down buttons to browse through menu and use power button to enter it once you've selected fastboot.
Then connect your device to your pc
Your phone should read fastboot usb.. Once you've done this
Now go to you pc and
Type fastboot devices
If it shows your device serial number then good its connected
Now to SuperCID
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
This will do.. Make sure it has eight ones
Then after this you can update your firmware using the pg***file you got

Can someone walk me through what's needed to root/recovery/custom ROM with 2.00.0002?

I've been searching around for hours now trying to work this is and, as always happens here, the information is a mess and disparate.
Is anyone able to link me a good walkthrough to do this? I'm not new to rooting terminology generally but I am totally new to the Desire S.
HBOOT is as above, S-ON, 2.3.5.
Thanks.

There is a nice thread for beginners and others in the general section. Also there is an INDEX thread in the Development section. All the info you need is there. Only some info that you may not find explained in this guides:
currently there are 2 ways to achieve what you need:
1) unlock with htcdev.com (but stays S-ON)
2) S-OFF with the Revolutionary tool (only older bootloader supported - 0.98.0000 and 0.98.0002)
Option 1 will give you the ability to flash custom recoveries, kernels and ROMs. The cons of this way are as follows: you are officially agree with HTC that you are voiding your warranty. The kernel has to be flashed via fastboot or in other words you need a PC each time you want to flash a new ROM. Going this way also means that you cannot change your radio and bootloader to another version (not that there is a reason to do so...).
Option 2 will give you a completely unlocked device with the ability to flash anything you want on it, but to get it you have to downgrade your system to a supported by Revolutionary exploit. And the need to flash the kernel separately is not present here (IMO it is the main advantage)
I hope the above is clear enough and after making the decision of which will be your method the detailed steps can be found in the guides I have mentioned in the beginning.
Good luck

My main problem now is that I can't get ADB/HTC Drivers to work on this computer. I keep getting device not found.
So I can't perform the required steps in the guides for HBOOT downgrades :/

I've got it set up now on Ubuntu. The issue now is that the phone won't go into USB debugging mode. It just doesn't. I need it to do so to give permissions to ADB and to use ADB commands in general.
It's set to go into that mode in settings but just won't, any ideas?
For reference: ./adb devices see my phone when connect (ZTE Blade), albeit without permissions.
EDIT: also, probably unrelated, the HTC GPS goes haywire all the time. Opening itself without prompt and interrupting everything. It does it every time USB is plugged in too.
EDIT 2: also maybe unrelated but the phone cannot turn off.. holding the power button simply turns the screen off.
Edits may not be relevant but you can see why I'm so desperate to root this phone.
EDIT3: I managed to get the 8 digitis required for the device thanks to going into Fastboot via the bootloader but ADB still won't find it.
I am following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921169
The main issue does seem to be the phone refusing USB debugging mode :/

This sounds like a real mess. I would suggest another approach. Since fastboot is working you can check your main version and use a RUU. And your phone will be like new again

There are exactly 3 downgrade tutorials in the index thread about that
Sent from my HTC Desire S

For rooting my device i found this step. I have read a lot and have adjusted this steps to my needs... Maybe you or someone else can make profit off it.
1. to not avoid warrancy ( Dont use htcdev unlock!)
2. download adb tools http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595
3. install htc sync for drivers then disable/uninstall htc sync. (windows)
4. check your phone software and hboot version on boot menu (GUIDE LINK)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186401
5. downgrade to oldest RUU with hboot 0.90.xxx something if don’t want use htcdev unlock
1.28.401.1 RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
above ruu is only fore unbranded europe phones... YOU may need a different one!!!!!!!!!!!
6. to do this it depends on software on phone.
if its new like 2.11.xx-> use tacoroot guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636
if its older like 2.10.xx use the zergrush guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331&highlight=zergrush (deze heb ik moeten gebruiken)
7. use revolutionary guide to S-Off And root ( this is possible only in oldest version of original RUU).

8Update hboot naar eng hboot:

9. install 4ext recovery touch. do your backups.
We're going to install EXT4 recovery. But first download ''4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip'' and extract the recovery.img file to the folder where you installed fastboot and adb. If you followed the tutorial in step 1 the folder will be ''C:\android-tools''
Now make sure Fast Boot is turned off on your phone. Go to ''Settings > Power > Fast Boot'' to turn it off. Unplug your phone from your computer, it's time to turn of your phone and boot into your bootloader.
Press Volume Down Button and Power Button at the same time to boot into recovery. Now connect your phone to your computer and select fastboot.
(Power button to select, Volume Down/Up to navigate)
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
Type:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [press enter]
EXT4 recovery is now installed on your phone. Turn off your phone in bootloader menu.
EXT 4 later updaten naar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377745
10. download preferrable custom rom. Copy it to SDCARD root.
11. Flash custom rom. ( GUIDE LINK )
How To: Flash Custom ROMs using Recovery (Method 1)
(You can use your default recovery from Revolutionary tool but I recommend using 4EXTRecovery)
1. Copy your custom ROM "zip" file to your SD card (Root directory).
2. Turn off your phone.
3. Turn on your phone by holding the power button and the volume down button together.
4. Once you see the white screen, choose "Recovery"
5. Make a full wipe/format and clear all cache.
6. Choose "install from sdcard/zip file" and then choose your Custom ROM zip file from your SD card to flash your Custom ROM.
Optional: If you want to use 4EXTRecovery, just flash it like you are flashing your custom ROM(Step 6). Just do it before you flash your new ROM.
.
12. Enjoy and have a beer!
-when using Win7 you can start CMD in specific folder (avoid 5-10 cd's or long/path/to/folder) by holding shift+right click/open command window here)

How would I do this? Would this revert the HBOOT also?
Build number is 2.10.401.8 CL1536318. Phone seems unbranded. No bloatware or branded boot screen anyway.

It will be like you just bought it (and the hboot version will be the same as now). It will erase your data and apps so better make a Google sync and some backups.
Then reboot the phone to bootloader: power it off completely, then hold Volume down and press power. Still holding the Volume Down button release the Power button after several seconds.
When in the bootloader connect it to PC and make sure that you see FASTBOOT USB written on the phone screen.
Then open command prompt (you said that fastboot is working so I assume you know hot to use it) and type:
Code:
[B]fastboot devices[/B] - [I]your serial number should appear[/I]
[B]fastboot getvar version-main[/B] - [I]the output [B]should [/B]be 2.10.401.8[/I]
[B]fastboot getvar cidnum[/B] - [I]the output [B]must [/B]be one of these: HTC__001, HTC__E11, HTC__032, HTC__203, HTC__Y13, HTC__102, HTC__405, HTC__N34, HTC__304, HTC__A07, HTC__016[/I]
IF the you have the right output download RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe
Run it in Windows while your phone is connected in FASTBOOT USB mode as described above.
After RUU finishes your phone should be completely stock and if your problems are software based they should be gone.
IMPORTANT: the above is valid if you did not attempted to unlock the phone via htcdev.com or flash any RUU or other stuff. If you did then some additional steps may be required
Good luck

The problems persisted through the reflash :/
It did go into debug mode ONCE earlier today before I flashed it but it was short lived (and the laptop overheated and shutdown so the connection was lost :/

[Q] Bricked phone?

Hey everyone,
So I had a TWRP with stock 4.04 on my HTC One X ATT
I downloaded one of the 4.1.1 Stock ROMS posted today and tried to flash it in recovery. It said success and I rebooted.
This one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181399
It rebooted into a black screen and it's been stuck there since. Occasionally theres a white bar that flashes at the top.
If I hold down power + volume down, the capacitative buttons just flash several times and that's it.
Adb doesn't see my phone.
However, when I plug it in my PC recognizes it. It doesn't show it in my computer, but hardware manager shows "HTC One X"
I'm concerned it's permanently bricked.
Any advice?

I have HBOOT 1.14.0002
How should I go about doing that?
I downloaded everything and I'm ready to go but I'm not sure of what's next

you need to unzip your Rom, in there is in file called boot.img
put the boot.img in the same Folder as adb and fastboot
then put the phone in bootloader and put in the usb
open cmd on your pc and go to the ADB Fastboot Folder
now put in this:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
if it's done reboot your phone.
the procedure is almost the same as flashing the recovery.

Works like a charm, thank you !

you're welcome

[Q] [HELP] Another soft-bricked AT&T HTC One X

So my son rooted his AT&T HTC One X (Evita) and put AOKP 10.something (doesn't remember) but never got 4G data to work. He lived with it that way for a while because WiFi works and he has plenty of access at college. But recently he got fed up and wanted to go back to his stock rom to get 4G working again. He doesn't remember exactly what he did but he recalls going into recovery, wiping the cache, then updating TWRP to 2.5. That's when things went wrong. We get:
HTC
quietly brilliant
This build is for development purposes only...
It sits this way for a few minutes then the screen goes blank, but it appears the phone is still on because, when plugged-in to the USB port on my PC I don't get the alert sound that USB has disconnected. Then it reboots. Does this over and over.
I can get into the bootloader by holding-down power and volume-down.
Bootloader tells me:

*** UNLOCKED ***

I can also get into TWRP, but can't find any ROMS to install.
I've rooted a few of my androids and can follow instructions, but I'm not real familiar with all the tools and acronyms. Also, I have zero experience with the HTC One X. If there's a newb's guide for unbricking the Evita please point me in the right direction. Otherwise, please be gentle with me and I'll try not to make an ass of myself. ;^)
So far I've downloaded HTC Sync and Minimal ADB/Fastboot. The phone is plugged-in and charging. So I plan to pick up on this tomorrow night. If I understand things:
Install the drivers
Connect the phone
Pray that it is still in USB Debugging mode
Verify ADB detects the phone
Use ADB to push my choice of ROMs to the root of the sdcard internal storage device
Go into TWRP
Wipe the entire phone including system
Install the ROM
Wave dead chicken over head while singing the theme song from Evita
Reboot when done
Is that right?
Or should I use flashboot (never have before)?
Does "*** UNLOCKED ***" on the bootloader screen mean the bootloader is unlocked (as opposed to carrier unlock)?
Should I update TWRP to 2.6 first? If so, can I just push with ADB and Install with TWRP 2.5??
Do I need to S-OFF to flash TWRP or ROM? If so, how?
What the heck is an RUU file and do I need one?
And finally for tonight, while I know there's no such thing as the "best" ROM, which ROMs should I look at if my priorities are stability, functionality and battery life (most to least important)? I tend to put a ROM on my phone and not change for months, even years.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Adb won't work because that requires the ROM to be booted into an os. You don't need it yet anyhow. You will need fastboot though. You'll want to get rid of TWRP 2.5 because it's full of bugs. Here's how to install TWRP 2.6:
Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can enter recovery on your phone. Select mount from the menu, then mount usb storage while connected to a pc, it will now show up as a removable drive so you can copy a ROM to the device. For stability, stock ROMs are the best option, you'll find those here.
One you've downloaded a ROM, you need to extract the boot.img from the root of the zip and place it in your fastboot folder on your pc, we'll come back to that later. Now copy your entire ROM zip onto the phone. Enter recovery, do a full wipe (cache/dalvik cache/factory reset/system), go to install menu, install ROM.
Now, reboot to bootloader, connect to pc, make sure it shows fastboot usb on the screen. You now need to flash the boot.img because the phone is s-on. Do that by entering this command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now you should be able to reboot the phone into the ROM.

Thanks both Ken and Timaaa. You guys rock.
I'm leaning towards giving utkaar099's Stock/Deodexed JB 4.1.1 ROM and the HTC ATT 3.18 radio a try. I haven't figured S-OFF yet but once I get the ROM on and working I'm sure I'll figure it out.

I wanted to say thanks again for the help. The phone is now running again with the stock/deodexed JB 4.1.1.
I haven't tried flashing a radio file yet. I'm unclear if I have to S-OFF before flashing the radio. Still reading, but if you have a chance to answer this question I'd appreciate it.

S-off isn't required for flashing radios, you can just flash them in recovery. Just make sure you don't flash radio+RIL, or the cm radios, and you'll be fine.

Can't access recovery

A friend has given me his Desire S to fix what I originally thought was just a stuck power button that prevented it from starting up. But the button is now fixes and I've been trying the last few days to get it to start up.
What I have tried so far is to enter Recovery mode, but upon choosing it, the phone would just go to the HTC logo screen, fibrate once and then fibrate agian after a second or two for a few times and the screen would go blank. The same happens with normal bootup. It also seems that the phone is still running with the blank screen because I have to pull the battery to startup again.
I then tried to use the latest RUU (Android 4.0) from HTC but the phone is not recognized by the computer (I think it is because it didn't startup enough to be able to present itself to the computer). So I unlocked it and used fastboot (from Ubuntu as OS) to flash the recovery (recovery_signed.img) and boot (boot_signed.img) from the RUU. With this recovery and normal startup would remain at the HTC screen and wouldn't go blank as before - still fibrates a few times.
I also tried to rename the rom.zip to PG88IMG.zip and putting it on a SD and the bootloader does detect it, but presents the normal boot screen afterwards (I think it complains about it being incorrect - the display is too quick for me to see the error).
Now I also have a Desire S and made a backup of it before I installed a custom ROM. So I also tried the recovery.img that I have from this backup, but then recovery is stuck on the blank screen again.
Is there anything that I did wrong, missed or may not have tried yet? And how can I go about to fix it?

The PG88IMG wont work coz ur s-on. Ul need to extract the zip file and put the recovery.img in ur fastboot folder and then flash it from fastboot, volume down + power then select select fastboot then plug ur phone into pc and open a fastboot command window and type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Also a ruu u run from fastboot and u need to relock ur bootloader.
(i dunno how all this is done using ubuntu but thats how on windows so im sure ul know or figure it out)

Ok, didn't know that I needed S-OFF for PG88IMG - thanks for pointing that out . I did flash the recovery (paragraph 3), it is just named `recovery_signed.img` and not 'recovery.img` - I assume that there isn't a difference between the two?
Do I open the RUU while in fastboot on the phone (after relocking) or do I run it from a fastboot command?
(On Ubuntu fastboot is installed as a program so I can call it after I CD to the extracted rom folder and I assume it is working since I didn't get any errors)

Yh boot ur phone into fastboot, connect it to pc, relock bootloader and then run ruu. The ruu should be exe file so just double click it to run.

Ok, relocked it and went into fastboot mode and then opened the RUU, but was not recognized. Then followed this (droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/) since I used Win 8.1 for the RUU and it flashed successfully.
But it is still stuck on the HTC screen - gave it 30 minutes for the first boot after flash. Recovery is also still stuck, so I reflashed and same issue.
