[Q] s-off evo3d [solved]

Edit: solved using the juopunutbear's wire-trick.
Hi everybody!
Few months ago I have followed the guide of dryogeshd: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535987
I have unrooted but no s-off.
Now it's time to upgrade the ROM ( actually LeeDrOiD_3D_V5.3.0 ) and I looked to news about s-off.
My device is:
HTC EVO 3D X515m (shooteru-1.49.0012, Android: 2.3.4, ROM version: 1.24.165.1) cid VODAP405
unlocked

Am I too noob or is my version of device invincible? :laugh:

Hi,
I suppose, your device is not supported yet. You can try the following method.
Copy the PG86IMG to the root of your SD card, just let it flash through boot loader... Then try revolutionary tool.

Tnx dryogeshd.
You are right, revolutionary not support my device.
Flashing the pg86img (md5 429663bda14fc353f3ef64c9cab11620 ) don't change
hboot-1.49.0012.
I can't understand why in the old version of leedroid the wifi worked. Bad about the signal distance, but working.
Maybe using Free 3VO_V2 as changed something? (just relock the device and add RADIO-10.13.9020.29_M in fastboot, keep cid VODAP405)
I have now tried also a PG86IMG for 1.20.401.2RUU, find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218196
but another hole in the water.
What do you think about the wire trick?

Hi, I have solved using the juopunutbear's wire-trick.
Now I am s-off, hboot-1.49.9999.
Re-installing LeeDroid Final I have found that wifi is working.
Tnx everybody helped me! :highfive:

[Q] Phone needs an ENG Bootloader

Hi, my phone goes in a bootloop. This happened after running a RUU to go back to stock. Now i can't go into recovery and when trying to flash a recovery it says I need a ENG Bootloader. I've tried flashing a bootloader but it keeps on failing with a signature error

You can't flash ENG bootloader without getting S-OFF first.
You can't get S-OFF without a properly working phone.
So flash the RUU and make it right.

[Q] writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Hi, i have followed the tutorial for S-OFF my HTC sensation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864053). I'am right now S-OFF HBOOT 1.29 but when trying to flash recovery i get :

I'm not sure why its not working need a bit more info but why not just rename to PG58IMG and flash through hboot?
Or use 4ext app from playstore

You are s-off but your bootloader is locked. Unlock bootloader via HTC dev and the problem should be fixed.

Hi,
If you are s-off,then do NOT use HTCDEV.
This will probably screw up your phone.
@aranna
If you have a locked bootloader look HERE
Use the :
HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100)

Hmm...that happened to me after I s-offed my sensation and all I did to fix it was to unlock it via htc dev...i guess i did it the wrong way, but nothing bad happened to my phone though...

Hi,
I am glad nothing bad happened to your phone.
But I have seen many instances of problems caused by using HTCDEV with s-off.
Kohr-Ah's solution is simple and effective.

Hum... i hope i understand well.. Here my complete current data
HBOOT 1.29
version-main: 3.33.401.153
cid: HTC__203
mid: PG5813001
As i understand i should download this one
Step 1) HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100) => downgrade to HBOOT 1.27
Step 2) Flash recovery with fastboot (can i use 4Ext Recovery recovery bin image ?
Step 3) HBoot 1.29.0000 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.27.1100 to 1.29.0000) => Go Back to HBOOT 1.29
I'am right ?

No need for step #3
You can stay at 1.27.1100 hboot.. Changing to hboot 1.29 doesn't give you any advantage or benefit... There is technically no change between 1.29 hboot and 1.27.1100 hboot

do via fastboot way
copy the PG58IMG.zip to your adb/fastboot folder in PC
then connect the phone from bootloader to PC (if the phone says FASTBOOT USB that means it has proper connection)
then open command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder and type these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it )
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with green HTC )
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (this will do the flashing of hboot )

WONDERFULL !!!!!!!!!! WHAT ELSE !!!! EXCEPT MANY THANKS !!!! S-OFF / 4Ext installer / HD REVOLUTION

Today I want to flash the cwm custom recovery to gain root and further install 4EXT. I have never done this before.
But I stuck on the first step:
I used an other thread (click here, but it's German). At the beginning, the author provides a collections of tools including the cwm recovery for step 5.
After entering the command shows:

Here is a current photo of my bootloader.
I unlocked it with revolutionary while GingerBread was running. After that, I debranded my device and installed an official HTC RUU without branding (GingerBread) and did the update to ICS and via OTA to the latest provided version (see my signature). After that, it shows S-OFF but also *** locked ***
I´m not sure, what I have to do to gain my destination with 4EXT (requires root and this requires cwm) and finally Android Revolution HD or DarkForest.
Should I flash the universal firmware from here?
The command "fastboot getvar all" shows this:
C:\adb>fastboot getvar all

I don't want to brick my phone or my it unusable, so I´m very carefully.
*** EDIT:
I fixed the first step as follows:
I created a new zip file named "PG58IMG.zip". I put the recovery.img and the android-info.txt in it. The MID and CID in the txt-file have to match to my device. After that, I put the zip file onto my sdcard into the root directory. Then I started my device into bootloader and accepted the requested update. After that, I got my cwm recovery.

because you had a locked bootloader that's why you couldn't perform fastboot commands
you had to flash the pg58img.zip from bootloader as you did
it gave you also a patched hboot which is unlocked

[Q]htc one s internal sd is 48mb please help

I installed the maximus rom for htc one s,i installed the firmware for it,flashed the rom,i did everything but i went to recovery and it said 48mb storage.When i was using the rom i mounted it from the android its self and deleted the os(I was panicking). I read online and it said u have to install the recovery from the install package . So i installed the recovery file and got it back to normal. Today i panicked and put it on s-on. Then i tried adb side loading a rom and i couldn't figure it out so i went to fastboot usb and i did "fastboot flash zip Energyrom.zip" it didn't work and said failed so i went back to recovery and it is 48 mb again.I reflashed the recovery but that didn't work . What do i do i need my phone fixed asap. Please respond if you know the fix to the problem. (Im only 12 pleease help me). Thanks in advanced

Whats your hboot and what's your radio?
Sent from my HTC One S

my radio hboot is 2.16.0000
My radio is 1.20.50.05.16

How did you get the phone S-ON again? ?
I had the same issue as you for me it helped to install the TWRP 2.6.10 and then i made a sideload.
With any other Recovery your storage stays at 48mb you have to have this version of the TWRP recovery.
I will post some quotes as soon as the search function is avalible again.

Did you tried to flash it or did you flashed it? Its necessary to have it on your device with 2.16 HBOOT! Have you an working ADB on your computer? If not download it (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html).
Its much better than any toolkit. Error 99 just shows up because your SDK/ADB is outdated thats why its not working.
So first of all install the newest version of AndroidSDK (link above) then write back.

Sideload works just as i described in another post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45798359&postcount=825
Just open up TWRP and choose the sideload option and then just follow the link above (type the commands in the ADB to sideload the ROM, the you just click on install .zip and choose the "sideload.zip" but remember you have to have S-OFF again after Flashing MaximusHD)

My carier is Fido(Owned by rogers) So i can use the rogers ruu for ti but i don't know any compatible roms for the ruu

I Go on every day at 3:00 pm Eastern Time. Im going to try to side load the rom tomorrow
Edit: Also is there any way i can go back to how my recovery was ( With out sideloading ) So i can mount and flash instead ? Because im going to get a rom compatible with hboot 2.16 then put s-off again then im going to find out how to downgrade it back to normal. My only question is how do i install a ruu And which rom should i install it on.... Im going to get the rogers ruu for my htc one s.

1st of all only the maximushd ROM is compatible with the 2.16 hboot and not any other ROM yet. So you have to downgrade your hboot first. (i dont know exactly how it works but im sure you'll get help in this forum if you ask for it )
2nd: The right RUU for your One S depends on where you live for example (europe or "WWE" for world wide, or north america,) then you have to choose the right carrier for your phone but only if its carrier branded if not then take a non branded ruu.
Then you have to choose the version of the RUU for e.g. 4.1.1 for the latest one.
The right RUU for me would be the "OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301852xf01hejl416oev96.zip" one
3rd you cant simply flash a RUU via recovery. A RUU is an .exe file for your pc and your phone has to be connected to your pc to flash it. If the RUU setup shows errors, like "hboot is too new/unknown" you have to downgrade your hboot manually before flashing a RUU.

According to this thread, the Magiorom is compatible with 2.16 and S-ON. Give it a shot.

Stuck in BootLoader & unable to unlock the phone

Hi, I have a very frustrating problem with my HTC One Mini.
Out of nowhere, my phone won't boot into the OS but goes straight into the bootloader.
This is what my bootloader looks like:
Code:
*** LOCKED ***
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.22.0000
OS-4.09.401.3
eMMC-boot 1024MB
Jun 24 2014, 15:21:25 0
FASTBOOT USB
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
I can't perform a factory reset and I can't get into recovery either. I tried to unlock the phone so I could flash the recovery and install a ROM from there. So I went to htcdev.com and started the bootloader unlock process. I downloaded the Unlock_code.bin file and tried to flash the unlock token:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
target reported max download size of 800227328 bytes
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.156s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.172s
Nothing happens on the phone after this. I read on the forums I maybe had to run a RUU so I went to the HTC ROM download page and downloaded the RUU and ran it. The phone rebooted but didn't go into RUU mode. After some time, I get a USB Connection error (171).
I tried to get into RUU mode with fastboot but that also doesn't work.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Cmd18 polling status timed out, MCI_STATUS: 0x4C2000

(bootloader) [ERR] sdcc_command: sdcc_poll_status error, rc: 2
OKAY [ 1.953s]
finished. total time: 1.953s
From here, I don't know what to do next and I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the XDA forums, Vyperz52! I'm currently trying to solve a very similar problem with my HTC One Mini, and I have one suggestion that might help. Have you tried flashing some different form of recovery? Trying to flash TWRP recovery might work, it didn't for me but it's worth a try [https://twrp.me/devices/htconeminigsm.html]. Try the Fastboot install method (reading and accepting the risks that come with trying to install different recovery software).

Thank you for your reply.
I tried what you said but unfortunately, it's not working.

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

My phone is still locked so I think that's why flashing the recovery fails.

i have stuck in the 10th step of htcdev.com
any ideas why i cant see the warning on the phone?
btw the phone doesnt boot. i have access only to bootloader and fastboot on my phone

I contacted HTC about the bootloader unlock issue but they won't help because they don't recommend unlocking the BL because it can cause the phone to crash and become unusable. After which I replied to them that's already the case without doing the unlock.
