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...

[Q] Need Help - Xe (ICS) bootloader says S-OFF but superuser says not rooted

Hi
I have a sensation xe. I rooted it before upgrading it to ICS (before is GB).
I upgraded it by flashing official ics rom due to I previously installed clockworkmod recovery which stop me from normal way of upgrade.
After upgrade everything's fine, but superuser and clockworkmod gone.
When I install superuser it says binary not found. but I checked my bootloader it says S-OFF.
What should I do?
Android - 4.0.3
Software number - 3.32.401.105
Hboot - 1.27.0000
Radio - 11.22.3504.07_M

Nevermind.

I don't know what is that, I think not.
I flashed it using RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_251961_signed.exe

If you find it locked you have to unlock first with htcdev.com but many user won't recommend it but at this time I think it the only way to unlock the bootloader, install the custom recovery(CWM) and install the superuser(root the phone).
You can get the details on this post.

But I already have it rooted before upgrade. I thought it will remain rooted? coz my bootloader shown S-OFF

OK, you have S-off. I guess you should be able to flash Revolutionary firmware from Boot loader, then use fast boot to flash the recovery, then flash root from the recovery you installed earlier and voila.

Or, flash a firmware that contains recovery and then flash super user (just make sure its the correct firmware.) (I don't remember exactly where I seen this firmware, but I'm sure I have. Maybe here or somewhere else)

If you are S-Off you can root it again (because you flashed a RUU you lost root)
1) need to have a custom recovery (CWN or 4EXT). There is a nice tool to instal 4ext recovery HERE or download this PG58IMG. Just put it in your sd card and flash it from bootloader.
2) Then Download and install from custom recovery the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Done!

They don't recommend it because it doesn't unlock the bootloader completely. Read more and please don't recommend it, it's incorrect. His bootloader is already unlocked, hence he is s off. As already mentioned he needs to root and install Recovery.

Not if you flash a PG58IMG from bootloader. Done hundreds of times
If you download from Market then yes, you need root.

Correct. By revolutionary you install CWM and then you can switch to 4ext. same as I did but in his case he doesn't need to use Revolutionary because already unlocked and s-Offed (and also because Revolutionary doesn't support Hboot 1.27). He needs just to install a custom recovery by a PG58IMG and superuser to get root again.

If the. Hboot is the issue why not just get an older one, put it in a zip called pjwhatever.zip (not sure I own a wildfire) and then just put into bootloader and flash it. He has s-off like.??

Hboot has nothing to do. The OP wants just root the phone again after upgrade to ICS.
Also, I think we are hitchhiking the thread with OT postings.
That said, this is my last post here.
For the OP: Follow instructions few posts above and good luck

ahh, sorry i misread. i thought the ruu had upgraded the hboot to the htcdev hboot that has the locked unlocked thing. my bad.

Thank you so much for teaching me. I have custom recovery and superuser now in my phone.
but I have 1 more question, what is the ***LOCKED*** means in my bootloader? Is that simlock?

It means you cannot use advanced fastboot commands. You're still s off, don't worry about locked.

suggestion to re lock his hox was mentioned but his reply didn't say if he locked it, just said he tried to run the ruu. Bet it still needs locking! Also OP do you have super cid? If so he doesnt need 1.85 right? He can use the 1.73. I would still probably use the 1.85 like rpopo recommended though. Also if you have done everything correct (re locked and 1.85 if not super cid) the USB drivers can make a difference. I was super cid and locked and ruu kept failing. uninstalled my HTC drivers and ran the HTC sync program and used those drivers...Worked first time after that! Just have to remember to not actually have HTC sync running!

Wats a super cid..? Srry I'm new to rooting

Try the 1.85 ruu. Relocking and running the 1.85ruu usually gets you back up and running.

You have to be able to use adb on your computer to relock. There is a sticky with the info on how to install drivers, use adb and relock your phone.

Then run 1.85 ruu, make sure you have the USB drivers for the phone installed and then once you do that, re-root and unlock the bootloader.

It works ran the 1.85 ruu. Ten minutes later running perfectly/ :laugh::good::good::good:

If you flashed a good ROM and your stuck in hboot, use fastboot and use the following command 'fastboot oem boot' that will force your phone to boot.

Stay unlocked push recovery in fastboot again
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Start the RUU. Finish the install, then back into hboot, select recovery
Invest in a copy of titanium backup and use between rom flashing hence there isn't a micro sd card slot in the HOX

I haven't seen anything specific to 1.94, but you could always unlock your bootloader through HTCDev and flash a custom recovery with ADB and flash the SU binary. I think you may be out of luck if you want a root option that doesn't involve unlocking the bootloader.

ericth18 said:
That's right, there no method to root on 1.94 at this moment. Only way I got my HOX rooted was by unlocking the bootloader using HTCDEV and flashing TWRP recovery and then flashing Cleanrom 4.5 which gave me root access. There might be a few other roms out there that will give you root after you flash them but I've tried a few and Cleanrom 4.5 was the only one that gave me root. It's a great rom so I'm happy with that.

With custom recovery/unlockedBL you just flash or push root right from recovery.

[Q] HTC One XL - Telstra

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.

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?

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.

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!
