[Q] Changing Radio with S-on ?

Hi there
My Desire S is currently Unlocked and S-On(HTC Dev) with HBoot 2.00.002 and radio 3822.10.08.04.
I've been using the Desire XS Rom with Amidabuddha's Tweaked 3 X kernel. I've been experiencing the camera issue with this ROM and the dev recommends that you upgrade the radio and hboot.
My problem stands with the fact that I can't upgrade them with S-On. I've searched and found no definitive explanations as how to do this. Could you please give me directions to follow as I can't brick this phone !

You can't change radio or HBOOT with S-ON.
You can install RUU that includes the newer radio and HBOOT, and then unlock again and install custom ROM again.
This should be enough info.

AW: [Q] Changing Radio with S-on ?
You have to be s-Off first.

You can't change your radio or hboot version with s-on, only way to do it would be to achieve s-off by xtc-clip or downgrade

I normally do.
Could someone please show me a link to an RUU with the HBoot and Radio as mentioned above ? Can't seem to find them in the index and HTC Dev is down.

Would this require me relocking my Hboot ?
EDIT :
So from quite a bit of searching, this is what I think I need to do...
1. Relock bootloader. From this thread I see that you relock the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" ?
2. Install an RUU with Hboot 0.98.00000. I need a link to this.
3. Unlock and S-Off the device using Revolutionary.
From here, I'm a bit lost as to how to proceed to get to Hboot 2.00.2002 and radio 3831.19.00.110.
Are my above steps correct ? Normally, I'm not so lost with these things, its just a bit confusing especially because I'm stuck with S-On and hboot 2.00.0002.

Nearly correct, just you'll have to use misc_version to change the software version reported by the phone before the ruu will install. Getting hold of an RUU could be the most difficult step at the moment, though.

Try this for RUUs http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...-stock-roms&catid=65:htc-downloads&Itemid=107

[Q] HTC One XL Evita trouble restoring to stock HELP

Hello,
So I have a HTC One XL Telstra (Australia) evita phone. I purchased it already rooted and I want to take it back to stock. I managed to RELOCK my phone back and now it only boots into the bootloader.
I have found the following RUU RUU_Evita_UL_Telstra_WWE_1.89.841.9_Radio_0.18c.32 .09.01_10.93a.32.20L_release_266699_signed but when I try to load it onto my phone I get an error that my bootloader is too new for this file. For the last two days I have been searching for a newer RUU but come up with nothing. Also CID hasnt been changed.
Now I am stuck, I am quite switched on with all OS but this is a first for me with Android. The following are the details in my bootloader:
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.14.0000
RADIO-0.23a.32.09.29
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also I don't have any backups.
Cheers!

You can't RUU backwards while you're s-on, that's your problem. Unlock your bootloader again, flash a custom rooted ROM, get s-off, then you can run any Evita RUU you want to.

Now this is where the fun starts, I thought of that but when I got to unlock it in htcdev the identification token is invaild for some unknown reason even though the CID hasnt been changed.
The idea is to just get it back to all stock.

Do you still have the original unlock token?
Sent from my Evita

Scratch that I just got a valid token but the whole purpose was to keep the bootloader locked with the stock OTA

Unlock. Twrp. Jb Rom. S-off. Ruu to older. Relock. Take stock otas.

I know what your purpose is, and the instructions I detailed will get you there. Now that you've unlocked, flash TWRP, flash rooted ROM, get s-off, run the RUU you want to run, relock bootloader, take OTA's. It's the only way to do it after the mistake you made.

Half way there, up to s-off. Do you know of any tutorials specifcally related to the one xl? Btw thanks for all the help.

There are two s-off methods for our phone, Facepalm and Rumrunner. Facepalm won't work for you because it requires SuperCID, so Rumrunner is the one you want. Just go to that website and it explains everything. I haven't personally used it because I got s-off ages ago but it looks like a piece of cake.

You can flash the Beastmode kernel to fix the problem but the real solution is to flash the 2.15 firmware package. You'll find it (along with detailed instructions) in Turge's stock Sense 5 ROM thread in our Android Development section.

Thanks for your answers.

There are a certain group of phones that have a slow SoC, basically they can't handle the Beastmode kernel. You'll need to get s-off and flash the firmware instead.

Thanks, i'm thinking return to stock rom. Do i have relock my bootloader right? And then run RUU or what do you recomend me to do?

Whatever you do don't run any RUU yet. If you want to return to stock you need to get s-off first. I know you think you don't have SuperCID but if your phone is an at&t model then there's no way you could have unlocked your bootloader without SuperCID. Basically, s-on + SuperCID + jb RUU = brick. So lets check your CID. I'm assuming you have adb/fastboot installed on your PC? If not you need to do that first. Once you have it installed you can connect your phone in fastboot mode (reboot to bootloader and connect), then you need to open a command prompt from within your fastboot folder on your PC (open folder where fastboot.exe is located, shift + right click, select open command prompt here), then issue this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
Tell me what it says.
Sent from my Evita

I was reading about s-off and super cid but I'm new doing this and sounds a little hard to do so don't you think it's better if I install a stock backup
That will solve my problem?

You were right I'm super-cid my cid is: 11111111

S-off is very easy if you already have SuperCID. The biggest obstacle is installing adb/fastboot, if you haven't already. Otherwise, don't worry about being new. We all were at one time. Just read up and understand the process, and follow the instructions carefully, and you will be fine.

I don't see how that is in any way "better". If you s-off, all you then need to do is install the 2.15 firmware package, and the signal drop and random reboot issues will disappear.
If you went through the trouble to be able to flash custom ROMs, let's keep it that way.

I thought so. Getting s-off is pretty easy, all you need to do is follow some instructions and enter some fastboot and adb commands. Basically, if you can read and type you can do it. As Redpoint said you do need adb/fastboot installed, if you don't already have those you can Google search 'minimal adb and fastboot' and the first result should be a thread that explains how to install it very easily.
We all started somewhere, it might seem a bit daunting at first but I guarantee you it isn't as hard as it seems. Once you get learning it becomes really easy to understand. If you have any questions and can't find answers after some thorough searching just ask, you've got some good people here to assist you.

how can i flush the image? (step 5)

That's one of the two s-off methods, yes. Your working directory is the folder on your PC where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe located. You have those installed now right? In order to open the command prompt from that location just shift + right click anywhere in the folder then select open command prompt here.

Did you read the instructions? It details exactly what you need to do, follow those directions to the letter. It tells you which zip needs to stay in zip format and which zip needs to be extracted. It tells you what commands to type when the command prompt returns text.

Hi, geeks,
For my AT&T HTC One X, I have followed you guys all the way to here now: with SuperCID, Bootloader Unlocked (via HTC Dev), Rooted of course, and S-OFF (with touchscreen firmware down-graded).

Thank you so much!

You can just flash a stock at&t ROM which you'll find in our Android Development section. Or you can run the 3.18 RUU. This will also flash stock recovery, hboot, radio, and other firmware modules. The ROM is probably the better and easier option.

One more question, timmaaa: after flashing RUU, the recovery partition will be replaced with the stock recovery, and the S-OFF and boot loader will be kept as it is (based on what I learned from other posts of you). What if I need to flash CM again? I am confused because not many people are doing what I am. Thanks!

Yes, the RUU will install the stock recovery. Your phone will still be s-off and will still have an unlocked bootloader.

If you think you might still want to flash custom ROMs, you need to ask yourself why you want to return to stock in the first place.
Going back to stock if you are s-off, custom recovery, etc. is a step backward, not forward. Aside from getting on the correct hboot, firmware, etc. (or selling/trading your phone like the guy above), there is no benefit to going through all the hassle to running the RUU to get back to stock. Just flash a stock rooted ROM as timmaaa originally mentioned.
EDIT: Missed the part in the OP where it mentioned ISIS. See my response below (#13).

An update (for the forum): In fastboot mode, I have flashed Stock RUU successfully, without locking boot loader. After this, even in stock ROM, ISIS still doesn't work. I think it's caused by the SuperCID and S-OFF.
Timmaaa, do you know how I can SAFELY get SuperCID and S-OFF fixed? Thank you!

Reading around, root seems to be the only mod that interferes with ISIS. Its unlikely that s-off would interfere with ISIS. SuperCID? Its possible. Changing from SuperCID is very easy with fastboot. Just search for the command.
Also, be aware that you need a ISIS compatible SIM ("secure element SIM") available from your carrier.

Could be. HTC One X is not available on att.com now, so your link can't explain at this moment.
From here, https://www.paywithisis.com/get-started.html, it says AT&T HTC One X is compatible.
In addition, I do have a ISIS compatible SIM card from AT&T. The reason I suspect it is due to CID is that it is “heard" from this forum that ISIS doesn't work if you put an AT&T SIM card in the T-mobile version of GN3 (unlocked).

It could also be that they are looking at the phone model number. So SuperCID is a possibility, but not certain.
Its easy to change from SuperCID with a simple fastboot command. Just search this forum for the proper syntax.

Here is the command to change from CID:

Thank you! I learned from this forum that changing S-OFF to S-ON is very risky, and currently S-OFF relies on a SuperCID, so I think it's also risky to change the CID back. Have you ever tried? I need more opinions on this before I take the risk.

I honestly doubt s-off is blocking ISIS. S-off is exclusively an HTC invention, and I doubt ISIS would care about such a thing. I would recommend to leave s-off alone.
I wouldn't say its "risky" to change CID. As long as you still have s-off, I don't see any reason to still have SuperCID. But even so, you can still use the correct exploit to change back to SuperCID.

Hi, timmaaa, could you please shed some lights on this (change back to stock CID) please? Thanks!

Everything that @redpoint73 has said is correct. There's pretty much no risk involved in changing your CID back to stock, having s-off does not rely on SuperCID. You can try changing your CID using the command that redpoint gave before.
There's pretty much no risk involved with going from s-off to s-on either. I don't know where you read that but I believe you're misunderstanding the information. Personally I wouldn't go back to s-on though because I don't believe that is affecting your ability to run ISIS. Plus getting s-off again can be tricky sometimes.

Upgrading my hboot???

Hello all, here is my situation.
I recently purchased two used HTC One X phones. After a bit of research, I found out that they are actually the international version, the XL or Evita as they also go by. This is not a problem to me. I struggled getting them to take custom ROMs and I was finally able to get Cyanogenmod 10.0 installed. They are working great as is, however I would like to be able to update further, as there are a couple very minor bugs. Whenever I try to install an update through clockwordmod recovery, I always get a bootloader error. The number is spits out is 2.14, which I know is a never version of hboot. So, my question is, should I update my hboot (currently in 1.14.0002) to 2.14 in order to install newer versions of Cyanogenmod? If so, can you please provide detailed step by step instructions, or link me to a forum that does? Thank you.

Ok, firstly it isn't the hboot you need to update, it's the firmware. It just happens that the firmware contains the hboot, and the hboot version is what's used by the ROM installer to tell whether you've updated or not. First thing you'll need to do is get s-off, that's required for flashing the firmware.

Okay, thanks. Yeah I'm aware you can't get boot without a firmware update. Will 2.14 allow me to update to cyanogenmod 11?

Yes it will but getting that firmware requires you to run an RUU, which also requires s-off, and is a lot harder than just flashing the firmware package.

Major problems. I now have s-off but my phone refuses to boot. It was in a boot loop, tried flashing boot.img again and now it tries to start then fails, black screen until I how the volume and power button to get back into bootloader. Any suggestions on that?

Flash a ROM, not really a major problem.

Tried it, still fails. Installed the ROM, gapps, and flashboot flash boot boot.img

Flashed the right boot.img (somehow had the wrong one) now back in boot loop again. Any ideas? I did have to change my CID because I did not turn on debugging for ADB. Would that have something to do with it?

What are your bootloader details now? What did you change your CID to? And what did that have to do with debugging? What ROM did you flash?

EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-11111111
HBOOT 1.14.0002
Flashed Cyanogenmod 10.0.0. I was unable to use the last command successfully on facepalm's tutorial without allow ADB in android debugging.

Ok, but what does changing your CID have to do with that? Update your recovery to the latest version and flash a more recent ROM. You no longer need to flash any boot.img when you have s-off.

Ummm... how do I transfer the new files to my phone if I can't get it to boot in the first place? I will need to transfer the files for the new ROM.
