[SOLVED] Rooting a Factory-S-OFF'ed Desire S (need assistance)

Hi all,
so I've been reading around here for a few weeks now. Found a few guides on rooting the Desire S and tried to get basic orientation.
Now I'd like to discuss my particular situation for a bit with you guys, before I attempt to actually do the job on my phone.
There is a slight difference between where I'm finding myself and where all the rooting guides seem to aim:
I bought my Desire S already S-OFF'ed.
You can see my exact specs at the lower end of this post.
As it appears, AlphaRev and Revolutionary are supposed to be used with S-ON devices. I'm not sure what would happen if I run these tools with my S-OFF device.
GingerBreak doesn't work with HBOOT-0.98.0002. So that won't help me either.
The most promising method i found so far is the Temproot + Revolutionary method by Silver Bullet, which has been tested on a device with the exact same Hboot and ROM build as mine, with the only exception, that I am on S-OFF.
Today I've been successful in achieving temporary root access, using the commands from Silvers thread. (I got the # prompt.)
Sof far, so good. Now I've got and S-OFF'ed device with temporary root access possibility.
Silver proposed this in a personal message (hope it's ok I'm posting it here):
You could try to get temporary root access using the commands I have posted in my guide. If you get the "#" prompt then you have root access, so you could use dd from the command prompt to a) backup your current HBOOT, just in case, and b) flash the recovery manager of your choice.
With the recovery manager in place, you'd be able to flash whatever rom you like.
Please note that I have no means to test this procedure on my own!
You should take your risks if you dare!
Now I don't understand how I "use dd from the command prompt to a) backup your current HBOOT, just in case, and b) flash the recovery manager of your choice."
So what do all of you think about this approach? Do you see it as safe? If not, what could possibly be a safer method? Any other suggestions/comments?
Also, could anyone kindly direct me to some info about how exactly do I flash a recovery in this setup?
Thanxalot!

since you are already s-off i think you should be able to install a custom recovery on your device(im not sure about this you may want to wait for someone else to confirm this just to be safe)
once you have a custom recovery you can install a custom ROM or a prerooted stock ROM to gain ROOT access
try this recovery
this is the link to the DS index thread for easy access to more useful threads

If you are s-off, you have fastboot so you can flash a recovery with adb. And flash a new rom

Yea, I've been thinking in the same direction.
So there are two possibilities I can think of right now, as to how to install 4EXT recovery.
1) Download "4EXT Recovery UPDATER" to my phone -> then -> Enter temporary root state using adb -> then -> download & flash 4EXT recovery automatically using "4EXT updater"
or
2) Download "4EXTRecovery_v2.1.0_saga.zip" to computer -> then -> enter temporary root state using adb -> then -> flash "4EXTRecovery_v2.1.0_saga.zip" from computer using fastboot.
Agreed? Which one seems more reasonable to you guys?

Could someone experienced please confirm that I'm getting this right?
Flashing 4EXT recovery via fastboot:
1) download <4EXTRecovery_v2.1.0_saga.zip>
2) extract the <recovery.img> file from that zip archive
3) run these commands: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Correct? Do I need to wipe something first or can I just flash right away?
Secondly, Silver was talking about first backing up my current Hboot using adb, before I attempt to flash the 4EXT recovery. Does anyone please know how to do this? Can't find it anywhere explained.
Thanks

You'll first need to download and extract the adb & fastboot links from my signature and esnure that you have the HTC Drivers installed on your PC (also in my links in my signature).
Then follow the instructions within the Flash CWM & su via fastboot link that's in my signature.
That will put CWM (clock work mod a custom recovery and make you root by installing the su (super user) )
I'd say follow this and then once you've CWM and are root simply install the 4EXT from the market and update recovery to 4EXT (again link in my sig).
Any question then fire away?

Ok, got you ben_pyett. Thanks for clear instructions.
So no way (or need) to backup hboot prior to flashing recovery?
And no need to enter temporary root state before flashing WCM?
Gonna give it a try.

You can always get the original HBOOT (recovery) back from a stock ROM RUU if and when you need, see link to STOCK ROMS in the thread DEV INDEX
you may be able to do it via temp root fr3vo and adb but I'm not 100% . Temp root - If you're S-OFF I don't think you need to, but be sure to flash correct verison of CWM (saga) or else there is trouble.

I downloaded the newest CWM (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img) for saga from the Clockworkmod website.
Attempted to flesh it simply using fastboot. This is what I got.

So perhaps the next step could be 1) get into temporary root state 2) flash
Comments?
edit: Ok, I see now the difference - to do it via temproot + adb I need to work with android up and running.

was your device in HBOOT, FASTBOOT USB ?
How to start Fastboot USB mode:
Unplug USB
Turn the device off
Hold volume down button (HOLD IT) and press power
Hboot will start.
Wait for sdcard scan to complete.
Plug in USB cord connected to the computer
Press power ONCE and Fastboot USB mode starts

Yes, it was. That's why I get the device listed when I do the <fastboot devices> command
I tried the same procedure also in hboot mode, but there I get a <waiting for device>
When the phone is in fastboot I get <FAILED (remote: not allowed)> now.
Thanks for your assistance ben_pyett. Appreciate it.
edit: So something changed, since I'm not getting the <FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))> anymore, but now it's <FAILED (remote: not allowed)>

Ensure that you device has device has "Debug USB" enabled
Boot and then Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging = YES (tick)
and then try again

Unfortunately that's not the problem. The phone has been in debugging mode from the beginning. It also shows the <usb debugging connected> in status bar when I connect it.
I found an older thread where people seem to have been successful rooting s-off devices with superoneclick. Will read through it.

Thinking back to what I did after I'd Made my s devices s-off although I used xtc
Although first question, have you tried running ginger break? You'll find a link to it from within the root section of the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601DEV INDEX a sticky in that forum on the root sub section
Anyway what I did myself I've I was s-off was to Install a boot image that then enabled me to simply run one click, which gave me root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105763 Link to boot image post
You find link the link to ginger break and super one click used with in the Dev INDEX within the root sub section
So try ginger break first and if that doesn't work, then boot image and super one click which is literally that easy
Once you're root simply download ROM manager from Android market and use that to install Cwm as it's only one click
Good luck
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium

Great help, thanks!
I tried Gingerbrake a few weeks ago without success. A far as I know it doesn't work with HBOOT-0.98.0002. Some folks propose downgrading the hboot but I noticed that it's supposed to be dangerous. However I'll give it another try.
The one click method you propose looks good, thanks. I remember though that I tried to flash something using a "PG88IMG.zip" during my few initial attempts to get root, and my phone refused to read it from the sd card.
Would love to try it right away, have to leave though...
Cheers.

Hi ben_pyett,
it clicked! (pun fully intended)
I first flashed the boot image and then ran SuperOneClick.
I have SuperUser installed. RootChecker confirmed full root access. Right now Im doing a Nandroid backup from CWM recovery.
Loved to see that recovery screen again (I'm coming from Wildfire)
So thank you ben_pyett for your patience and willingness to offer not-just-sporadic support.
_______________________________________​
There were slight complications occurring during the root process. Superoneclick hanged at step 6. After disabling USB debugging it showed a few more lines in the right window section and after enabling USB debugging again it finished the root procedure without further problems.
It seems to me that the phone now takes longer to shut down plus, more importantly, Wifi stopped working. It gives an error message on the Wifi tab in settings.
Actually the phone appears generally unstable now. It just gave me a <Tell HTC> notification with something like "the phone just recovered from an abnormal reboot."
Hope I can sort this out by flashing a new rom...
So far, so good. Go to bed now.

Now you have root you can get custom recovery and from there you can Custom ROMS, there are loads to choose from.
All the problems you report are fixable.....wifi fails as boot image is missing Wifi do modules, but a custom well resolve that, glad you got there in the end.
Ensure that you have Settings->Power->Fastboot set to OFF (un-ticked)

Bootloader unlocked, what next?

Hi everyone,
I would like to install a custom ROM onto my HTC Desire S but I can't seem to find a guide that I can understand. I do have some experience in flashing a LG Arena if that would help.
Anyway, I have unlocked my bootloader with the official HTC tool yesterday and I have a bit of a problem.
If I want to S-OFF my phone with Revolutionary, I can't select my current HBOOT version (2.00.0002 or so).
My question is; what do I do next?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

I'm pretty sure there are other ways to s-off now. If you do a search you should find them. But I'm not even sure if you need s-off to install roms if you have unlocked the bootloader
Sent from my DesireS using xda premium

You cannot S-Off with hboot 2.00.0002 (at least there's no way I saw here). You can though downgrade the hboot to 0.98.0000 following the steps in THIS guide, then you can S-Off with Revolutionary.
Even you decide not to downgrade, you should still be able to flash ROMs following the instructions from another topic (all credits should go to Skanob):

1. Get 4ext recovery.img
2. connect phone on fastboot
3. In cmd use these command to push the recovery image:
fastboot flash recovery D:\recovery.img (<- should be directory of 4ext recovery image)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should have 4ext recovery.

Once you have 4EXT Recovery installed, just reboot in recovery and flash the ROM you want

Alright, that helps me a lot! But don't I have to root my phone before I'll be able to install a custom ROM?
EDIT // If I browse to the 4ext website, I cannot download the .img but I can download the app, although it says that it can only be used on S-OFF devices. Where can I get this image file and how do I apply it to my phone? I'm very confused right now.
EDIT // When I was browsing through my Downloads folder, I saw a folder "4EXTRecovery_v2.1.0_bravo" that contained a file "recovery.img". I've used this earlier to unlock my bootloader. Can I use this one in Recovery as well?

You can also just obtain temporary root using for example the zergRush exploit:

No you don't need root at that point. With the method described by Skanob you can flash 4EXT Recovery and after that you can flash a rooted ROM (all ROMs here at XDA are rooted anyways)

Sorry cause I was not very clear from the beginning. I don't find it right now, there was a 4EXT flashable zip somewhere from which you could extract the recovery.img file. You can download THIS file (credits goes to caelli) then perform the following:
1. Rename file to PG88IMG.ZIP and place it on the root of your sdcard
2. Boot with vol down + power
3. Wait till the image is recognized (PG88IMG.ZIP is the standard name for radio images and system will recognize and try to flash it)
4. Press vol down for YES (to flash it)
5. Reboot (it'll ask you to press vol down or up for reboot)
After having that flashed, either enter recovery via powerup with vol down pressed and choosing Recovery from boot menu or by issuing on the computer adb reboot recovery command (with phone connected with USB cable). Either ways you'll end up in recovery from where you can flash a rooted ROM of your choice.
As alternative, you can extract the recovery.img from this zip file and follow the instructions that I've give to you in the previous post.

That is the file you should find though I don't know if it'll work. The one I've linked above works for Desire S since it was used by one of the members (you can find his post in the same topic where Skanob gives the instructions).
Good luck...

Well, it's been a while and I haven't get a single step closer to installing a custom ROM.
This website says that unlocking the bootloader also makes you perm root, is that true?
Anyway, I've tried rooting my phone using this guide but as soon as I press "root", SuperOneClick freezes and I can't do anything any more.

No need, download the 4ext app, start it, go to online upgrade.
Choose the latest touch version (i would recommend it, but you can choose whatever you like) and hit download only.
Copy the received recovery.img to your pc and flash it at the commandline with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
.
Now you have a recovery.
Download the ROM you like and flash it with recovery.
Reboot to bootloader (no normal reboot in between, it's the last option in 4ext).
Flash the boot.img from the downloaded rom zip with
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Swyped from my Desire S far away from my PC (maybe)

How do I flash this exactly? Where do I put "fastboot flash boot boot.img", or are these the options when in recovery mode?
EDIT // When I try to upgrade in 4EXT, it says I have to install BusyBox first. BusyBox then says I don't have my phone rooted. What should I do now? I have the free version of 4EXT, if that helps.

Ok, another way, download the Android sdk and instal it.
When your finished open a terminal and type adb devices, if your device is shown as combination of letters and digits your good to go, otherwise download htc sync, instal it and afterwards uninstall it (it's just for the drivers, they won't be removed at uninstall).
Download the attached recovery.img, reboot your device to bootloader and attach it to pc.
Open a terminal and execute the recovery command (make sure you are in the folder where the img file is).
Afterwards boot to recovery flash the ROM and the boot img.
Here is the recovery.img
Pls tell me when you downloaded it, because i will delete the link afterwards.

I downloaded it! I'll try it now. Thanks a lot!
EDIT // I got into 4EXT Recovery, now what? Should I put my desired ROM onto my SD-card?

Since you unlocked with htcdev, you need to flash the boot.img of your desired ROM separately. You have to do this each time you install a new ROM.
on your PC, extract the boot.img from your ROM file. put both ROM file (probably zip) and the boot.img on your Sd card. (You might create an extra folder for stuff like that on your SD card)
Get into recovery, make backup and wipe and format all. (not SD card
Then choose "flash zip from Sd card"when you're in recovery and flash the ROM first, second the boot.img.
Reboot your phone and you're done.
Edit: try endymion 3.4

I'm really glad you all helped me!

[Guide / Tool][10/15/12] - Update to Official Jellybean Then Root or Custom ROM!

I wrote this guide do to the general lack of information for users about the Jellybean update. This guide is basic in nature and will provide you with all the tools and links you need to update from an ICS based ROM to the official JB ROM then re-root or prepare for custom ROM.
If you already have the Official JB Update simply unlock it and proceed to Section #2. This guide was intially intended for those who cannot update because of Asus stupid lock out program once you unlock.
Warning
I have tested this guide on my device multiple times and never have one single issue. I cannot say it will work perfect for you! I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong including but not limited to; A $500 brick! The economy imploding worse, Nuclear war, End of the world on 12/12/12!
Pre-requisites
Unlocked bootloader
Custom Recovery
Any version of TF700T
Windows 7 or Windows 8 PC
General Overview
Flash Asus JB update
Flash TWRP 2.2.3
Flash SuperSU or Custom ROM
Profit!
Please do not be afraid to ask for help!
This guide was written for people who need help. I didint write it for myself because I already know how to do it, lol

Section 1 - Flash Asus JB update
Obtain the appropriate Jellybean update from the Asus Support Site HERE
Go to Downloads and pick the local / region specific update file for your device. For the intent of this guide I will focus on the US Based variant but all other devices will follow the exact same steps.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After you download the Jellybean update you must extract the zip file in the zip (I dont know why they did this!). The name of the first zip file will be "US_epad_user_10_4_4_16_UpdateLauncher.zip"
The zip file inside of that will be "US_epad-user-10.4.4.16.zip" This is the file we will flash to update to JB!
To do this open the first zip file with your zip [rogram of choice, (as you can see I use 7zip) and pull out the only other zip file in there (US_epad-user-10.4.4.16.zip).
Once you have that file copy it to you internal SD card. Although, untested, external SD should work too.
Now.... Reboot to recovery. To do this power down the device, and then Hold Volume Down and then press power untill you get a menu that says press XX key to boot to recvoery.
Once in recovery you MUST wipe data before you continue!
Now flash the ROM file you just copied like it was a plain old fashioned custom ROM or Root.zip. Just select it and flash!
Once the flash is done reboot. Dont be scared... This will take a LONG time... Maybe in upwards of 3 to 5 minutes. This is normal. Its completely rebuilding the device!
Once the device is all booted up and you are at your desktop we can proceed to Section 2.

Section 2 - Flash TWRP 2.2.2.3
First we need to obtain TWRPREcovery. You are free to use any version you want, including ClockworkMod (although I highly discourage CWM and recomend TWRP).
You can find TWRP HERE. Remember I recommend the 2.2.2.3 version. 2.3.0.0 gave me some issues.
Now that you have the file download you need to rename it to "recovery.blob" for use with my tool!
Now download the attached tool and unzip it. It contains the fastboot and ADB files you will need to flash the recovery.
Next place the recovery.blob in the folder
Turn on USB Degging in the developer menu of the device. This is very important otherwise you will be just sitting there forever, lol
Now initiate the "Recovery Install Tool.bat" file. This will reboot you to bootloader and flash the recovery for you ;c)
Done!

Section 3 - Flash SuperSU or Custom ROM
Needless to say I am partial to custom ROMS ;c) But I know some may be content with just flashing root so I will show you how to obtain the correct root file and or ROM and give a brief over view on how to flash them. This section will be pretty routine and will not contain a lot of new info for most of you!
Obtain my favorite root app, SuperSU, from HERE
Copy to storage
Reboot to recovery
Flash and Be rooted!
Same steps for a custom ROM. The best Custom ROM can be found HERE! ;c)

Section 4 - Thanks!
Thanks to Dess_troy for making TWRP for our devices!
Thanks to Chainfire for the root app!
Thanks to all the Developers on XDA that have taught me (in one way or another) everything I know!
Special Thanks to all the CleanROM users who have inspired me to push CleanROM to be the premier custom ROM for your Android Device!

Please feel free to rebuild this for the Linux or Mac platform and re-distrubute!

So, the very first step is unlocking the bootloader, correct?

A number of people have asked and I have usually replied that it is possible to use the Asus provided UnLock tool - the one on the website that says is only compatible with ICS - with a tablet that has been updated to JB.
In short the Unlock tool works in Jellybean!
You might want to add this as an addendum to your original post.

i apologize for my beligerant question but if i want to try the new cwm touch recovery, do i just rename it to recovery.blob? when i downloaded it it was the usual iso. when renamed it didnt change anything so i dont wanna brick my tab. figured id ask first. thanks for the awesome walk through tho man. i really apreciate it. loving your roms. have 2.0 downloaded already. also can you pm the link to your tf300 kernel you used? i need to show off some high quadrant numbers lol

Confused...
How do I get a custom recovery on my tablet before this whole process? I've read thru some threads, do I need to be rooted first on ICS before starting this process of updating to JB? I'm not getting the official ASUS JB OTA...I've checked for the update about 500 times, I'm just not getting it.
At this point, I have an unlocked but unrooted, and wiped stock TF700T on ICS. Whats my next step?

This guide is for people who have already unlocked there device any may have had a custom ROM installed pre-JB.
You fall into a unique and rather off situation. I have never heard of some one not getting the OTA.
You could follow these steps but as a pre-step...
Download and unlock with the Asus unlock tool. Its on the same download page.
Download an ICS based recovery and use that in in place of the one noted for now. And then just start at Section 2. Then start back over at Section 1.
Basically we will put a recovery on your device in Section 2. Then start over at step 1 by applying the JB build then put a recovery back on, as it gets wiped off by Asus builds and your all set.

So I got the OTA JB update from Asus. I unlocked the boot loader using the Asus app. I downloaded and extracted US_epad-user-10.4.4.16.zip then threw it on the insternal SD card ( /storage/sdcard0 ). I rebooted with the volume key press and selected recovery. It gave me a message saying "booting recovery kernel". The next thing I see is an android on his back with a red exclamation sign.
What am I doing wrong?

The stock recovery will only flash firmware zips with a certain name. Rename the zip to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP and try again.

I upgraded to jb firmware and lost root. My 700T is unlocked. I thought I followed the procedure correctly but I did not get the message correct message when I ran the program. My device is not rooted. Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong.

yes you lose root. this will make your tf700 like the factory jellybean firmware which is not rooted. go back to op and keep reading. each section builds on the previous. first get the jellybean firmware. im still playing with mine stock its so damn smooth. then you flash a custom recovery using his tool. then you flash the zip which gives you root. then i would make a back up so you can always get back to that point. then you can look into custom roms like scotts sweet clean rom for tf700 series

If you have the JB Update why ware you trying to install it again? Proceed to section #2. You just need the Recovery and the Root portion. Skip step 1.

CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip
Hello,
thanks a lot for the guide, it is really clear and detailed.
My question is something I did not find on the previous question and it is more a double check to be sure I am not doing something I should not.
You say to install SU with the package copied on the internal SD, and you added a link to the SU thread. in this thread, the only SU as a package you can find is CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip, as it is CWM, will it work if I install it with TWRP? or there is special settings in this package that will not be recognised by TWRP?
Thanks in advance for your help

[Q] Root and Custom recovery not sticking...

curious if there is something i'm missing here... i've unlocked my bootloader successfully but whenever i fastboot flash a recovery or flash root files in recovery nothing seems to stick... not sure whats going on... i've heard of having to flash recovery everytime on devices with a locked bootloader but i didn't think that would apply here... any help is much appreciated... (this is also my first samsung/nexus device so i'm more familiar with methods used on the EVO line)

Make sure you're using a perm root method. and make sure you have the correct updated SU application. My root wouldn't come through because I didn't have the latest SU.
Hopefully I helped.

By default, any recovery you flash on the system will be gone by the next reboot. This is a security measure the android os does I think.
1. You can flash a ROM. Anyone. I prefer aokp or cna. That way the recovery sticks (the recovery sticks on all the ROMs besides stock)
OR
P.S. You will need the latest cwm recovery
2. So all you need to do is to flash the recovery of your choice. I would recommend CWM for this short guide. Then once flashed go to the recovery make a backup. Then if it reboots flash the same recovery again. Boot into it and restore that backup. When you restore it and go reboot system now it should come up with a menu saying recovery flash fix (or something around those lines). Hit/navigate to yes and you should get a sticky recovery from there. BTW I have not tried this method.
You cannot blame me for bricking, damaging or done anything to your phone
Hope this helps.
Regards,
UselessSniper001
P.S. I don't know how root isn't sticking. I mean if you have flashed the su is the recovery already well then you are all set to go. Unless you haven't actually flashed the su in the recovery. Then flash the recovery from your PC boot into the recovery and flash the su files in the recovery. Reboot and enjoy. Then follow this guide above. Or follow this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875&page=2

I finally figured out the SU and CWM I was flashing was ancient so I found the newest and they stuck with help of the fix ya mentioned inside CWM... Thanks

OnePlus One not getting OTA

Hi there,
A while ago I got a OnePlus One which came with ColorOS loaded. I of course googled my way to get the Cyanogenmod and followed these instructions.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDKOEtN9pbo
I'm currently on the 25R firmware and I know there are some updates after that but the phone doesnt detect any update release. I would like to know why the OTA updates are not being picked up from the phone. Was it simply the easy method mentioned above?
I also thought of reflashing it properly and found some instructions on the web.
Code:
Install Android tools (and drivers if you use Windows-crap). You need the fastboot and adb tools
Get http://dist01.slc.cy...ed-fastboot.zip and unpack it
Enable USB debugging on the phone
Run adb reboot-bootloader
Once bootloader started run: fastboot oem unlock
After automatic reboot, do steps 3 & 4 again
In the directory where you unpacked it, run in a console
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata_64g.img (or userdata.img for 16G version)
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
These instructions will somehow get the OTA updates working, am I right to assume that this method would rewrite everything and I would lose the recovery software of the ColorOS? Also are the Android tools these?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Fastboot and ADB, I can use this one right?

Hi scabbie, from the looks of the file its an incremental update. Do I just run it from the OPO with Cyanogenmod? If this is a long tedious method, I would rather do a fresh install and get the OTA updates to work. Also part of the reason I want a clean install is because the phone is acting up and my screen goes black when I call someone and then when I want to hang up the screen is still black and I cant hang up. and physical buttons dont respond either.
I dont know if this incremental update will fix this kind of problem, so hence my option to do some clean install.
Cheers

A toolbox is completely unnecessary, and they're more trouble than they're worth. Plus, nobody learns anything even using a toolbox, and that knowledge is crucial for when things go wrong.

Love the guide you put up, I was having a read through this and I'm slightly confused on your comments. http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...-to-guides-t2839471/post56731494#post56731494
You mentioned just go straight to Section 8, but in the link above you mentioned go through 1-4 then go to 8. I dont think I need to root on section 4 but for 1, 2 and 3, I would like to know, particularly in section 2 and 3 if you can explain to a novice like me. As I'm understanding this, I think the ColorOS phone has some recovery software, thats how I did the easy flashing method thing, so for section 2 your instructions will overwrite the ColorOS one?
For Section 3 the nandroid backup seems like a snapshot of the phone (which includes recovery, phone OS and other things) before installing custom rom?
Please let me know if my interpretation is correct and correct me along the way, I am here to learn what I can, so that I can successfully flash the OPO phone.

I was assuming that because you're on the 25R build of CM11S that you've already unlocked your bootloader and installed TWRP recovery, if this isn't the case then you will need to follow sections 1, 2, and 3 before moving on to section 8.
The phone definitely already has some kind of recovery on it (every phone does), but you do need to install a custom recovery in order to make a backup of your current ROM. It will overwrite the existing recovery when you install it, and then later on when you flash the fastboot images (in section 8) the stock recovery will overwrite the custom recovery. So why bother flashing the custom recovery if it'll just be overwritten? Because insurance. It'll allow you to make a nandroid backup of your current setup to fall back on just in case something goes wrong.
A nandroid is like a snapshot of the phone, but it doesn't include your recovery partition, it includes the /system partition (where the os resides), the /data partition (where your apps and settings reside), and the /boot partition (the kernel). You should always have at least one nandroid on your phone at all times. Personally, I make one before I flash anything, that way if I don't like whatever I'm flashing or if something goes wrong, I can just restore my backup and boot the phone up, and it's exactly how I left it.
After you've made your backup make sure you transfer it to your PC (and anything else important on the phone), because flashing the fastboot images is going to wipe your whole phone, including all of your user data.
If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I see, so even if my phone doesnt have much inside it should still be recommended, because of the listed above are operational and if something were to happen on the newly flashed phone, I have no way of retracing my steps.
So in a hypothetical situation I unlocked the bootloader and proceed to section 2. The recovery software provided when I first got the phone will be overwritten by the TWRP recovery and I will have lost the old one. I will then perform a nandroid backup where I can preserve a last known working configuration as an insurance, if future flashes fail. I assume you restore nandroid backup through the TWRP recovery? Also the nandroid backup is made on the phone? so I will need to transfer that to my PC before flashing?
At this stage all I changed is the bootloader and recovery partition with custom recovery. When I jump to section 8 it should be smooth sailing, provided I follow them clearly and the drivers work on the PC.
I apologise for being a pain in the butt! I just like to clarify before I do something horrible and have no idea what to do next.

You do indeed restore a nandroid backup with the recovery that you made the backup with. And yes it is saved on the phone so you will need to transfer it to your PC. You're not being a pain in the butt, you're doing the right thing and researching before attempting something.
Transmitted via Bacon

Yeah I agree users like you that research crap before attempting something are much preferred over users that blindly use a toolbox then come complaining cuz they messed something up but dunno how to fix it. I always do my research before flashing just like you are doing. Just make sure you install the drivers I linked to computer wide on your windows computer and you should have no problems, no need to install separate SDK for android and copy the files you're flashing into a special folder, etc
