Hi I was wondering if I need to supercid if I were to install a kernel like Elemental X because my bootloader is unlocked already via HTCdev and my Cid btw is Roger001. Would I have to supercid it still even if it's unlocked and could I s-off without supercid thank you
That's a bit confusing, are you asking two questions there? You don't need SuperCID to install a kernel. You must have SuperCID to get s-off.

What i'm trying to ask is Do you need SuperCID for flashing the Elemental X Kernal? I have an unlocked bootloader with HTCDev Do I need SuperCID?

No. But you may need to flash the boot.img... what's your hboot?
My hboot is 2.14.0000
evita pvt ship s-on RL
eMMC-boot
You're s-on so you would need to flash the boot.img via fastboot after flashing a ROM or kernel. But, Elemental has an aroma installer so there is no boot.img within the zip. I believe you'd need to get s-off first, it's a good thing to have anyway. You need SuperCID to get s-off so make sure you're SuperCID before even trying the s-off process.

How would i supercid with a ROGER001 CID i tried xfactor and it has all failed

Thanks for the help! It worked
I finished the superCID but when i do the s-off I can't seem to get pass adb shell chmod 744 /data/local/tmp
Do you have developed options enabled and usb debugging enabled? Depending on what ROM you're on you also need to grant root access to adb.

Yes I have developed options and usb debugging enabled i'm on the latest ViperXL rom i tried it again and when i put adb shell chmod 744 /data/local/tmp/soffbin3 it says /system/bin/sh: chmod744: not found

Some people have reported having trouble getting s-off while on the Sense 5 ROMs, so you might need to change ROMs for it to work.
Also, it says the file isn't found, so maybe you entered the command correctly? Or you haven't extracted the zip into the adb/fastboot folder.

I'm sure i typed the command correctly should i flash another rom? or its just sense 5 roms that i would have trouble getting s-off when i fastboot oem boot i got this error at the end

That "too many links" error is completely normal during this process. I'd suggest flashing an older Sense 4 ROM purely to get s-off.
Sent from my Evita
Okay which one do you suggest and is it possible to clean the previous rom? I had the clean rom 7.0 originally then i flashed ViperXL. Since I did that it took up more space right? Would i be able to delete clean rom 7.0 files and flashing a rom with a clean sd card?

I can't really suggest any, it's only a temporary solution so any Sense 4 ROM will do. And no it doesn't take up more space, each new ROM you flash overwrites the previous one. The system isn't stored on the sd partition anyway, it's a completely separate partition. Just make sure you perform full wipes between flashing ROMs (cache/dalvik/factory reset/system).

sorry about all the updates i am trying to remember as i go along with the help of the comments below, we will get this working as i know it does
i have actually managed it i used fre3vo from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
but i combined the instructions with post 4 from the downgrade thread ( part where you have to chmod the version file then change the version.
first download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=591335&d=1304969547
and also this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661246&d=1311240968
extract them to the same folder then open a command prompt in that folder and follow these instructions pressing enter at the end of each step
(big thanks to Jorgen2009 for cleaning up the instructions)
Instructions:
1. adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
2. adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
3. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
4. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
5. reboot the phone with the cable attached to the computer
6. adb shell (this gives a $-prompt)
7. /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF (when everything is OK you'll go back to your own prompt, not the phones)
8. adb shell (you'll have a #-prompt now, cause the the is temp-rooted)
9. /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
10. install the earliest RUU version you can find. I used RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed
11. after rebooting your phone has the old HBOOT (0.98.0000)
12. enable USB Debugging (Settings - Applications - Development) and reboot the phone again
13. Run the AlphaRevX binary and don't install the CWM recovery, we'll use 4EXTRecovery lateron
congratulations, your phone is now S-OFF!
download the latest EXT4Recovery from here
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery [PATH TO recovery.img]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
go to the recovery and install any ROM you like
hope this helps everyone.

5. Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo'
If all goes well, you'll be kicked back to your computer's command prompt.
run 'adb shell' and you should have a '#' prompt instead of $
6. cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
From here you can then install the update/downgrade from the ruu exe for your phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
then you can just follow the alpharevx instructions as normal because you will be able to run gingerbreak etc, this works on the latest updates as i couldnt use gingerbreak to downgrade due to the vodafone uk update and i am now on a custom rom and s offed
hope this helps everyone.

Unfortunately it's not working for me I get stuck at point 5 running the fre3vo binary. I waited 20 minutes for it to complete, but it's still saying "please wait" with a blinking cursor. For the record, I'm using this rom: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed. That could be the problem perhaps.
I also noticed that the the fre3vo link from your article is a bit older then the fre3vo version on the fre3vo thread. Of course i tried that one too, but it gives the same result for me
Any ideas?
Cheers
not a clue jorgen sorry i should maybe add the words "some"
just a thought when you ran the fre3vo command where you in adb shell or at the command prompt >, i seem to remember it happened to me the first time i tried it but i cant remember how i got it wrong, ithink you have to enter the adb shell command first then enter /data/local/tmp/fre3vo next or it may be enter them both together as one line i cant really remember, i was so surprised it worked if anyone else gets this to work could you please clarify the fre3vo steps and i will update the main post thanks, hope this helps, also i only used the link version not any newer one

Hello, you're right there appears to is a slight mistake above, from my understanding of this the commands they should be entered as I've shown below from your PC within a command shell window with a <RETURN> at the end of every line.
Code:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Support Tools> [B]adb shell [/B]
$ [B]chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo[/B]
$ [B]chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version[/B]
$ [B]/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF[/B]

are you using the exe version of the ruu, if you are maybe try making your sdcard into a gold card
SEEMS TO WORK ONLY WITH VERSIONS THAT GOT THEIR UPDATE BEFORE NOVEMBER (EUROPE SHOULD WORK, ASIA/INDIA I DO NOT KNOW!!!)
IF THERE IS A NEW TEMPROOT EXPLOIT AVAILABLE IT SHOULD WORK FOR NEWER VERSIONS ALSO
okay now more in detail
first you have to know that you will loose all data on your system, please backup bevor doing anything!!
what you will need:
- misc_version http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/wiki/misc_version
this will change your version information on your desire s later
- zergRush https://github.com/revolutionary/zergRush/downloads
this will give you temporary root privilieges (so that you can change the version number)
- phone
- chargecable
- adb-shell (see this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595)
- windows os on your pc
- RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
--> please notice: if you have a branded device, use a branded RUU to downgrade!!
1. Connect your phone to your PC in debug mode (Set option in settings (application --> developer)
2. unzip the downloaded files in a folder (e.g. c:/Users/yourName/Downloads)
3. run the Terminal (Windowsbutton + R --> cmd) and change into the folder where the files are (change folder with 'cd')
4. now type to the terminal (every line is one command!)
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
now type
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp/
./zergRush
--> now adb shell closes and restarts, instead of having a $ you have a # which means root
5. now type
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
--> this will change your version information
6. now you can doubleclick on the privous downloaded RUU and follow the steps. it may tell you from going down from version 2.xx to 1.xx but it is possible.
7. phone reboots and when it is up again you should have android 2.3.3 hboot 0.98.0000 S-ON
8. now just download revolutionary from http://revolutionary.io and create a beta key and start programm

if it was helpful, please use the thanks button!!
(i'm newbie) i don't understand step 3..
This Howto describes how to get down from hboot 2.00.0002 to 0.98.0000
without using htcdev unlock
Requirements:
- misc_version
- zergRush from xda)
- Desire S
- adb-shell (HTC Sync contains it i think)
- RUU from earlier Version 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 - download now for free. File sharing. Software file sharing. Free file hosting. File upload. FileFactory.com
1. connect phone with chargecable, debug mode on, only charge
2. start terminal (Windows+R --> cmd)
cd .. (so on)
go in to the folder where zergRush and misc_version are
3.
type following
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/zergRush
4. when u got from $ to # (which means root) type the following
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
5. your desire s thinks its a version earlier
6. dobleclick the RUU und follow the steps
--ATTENTION YOU LOOSE YOUR DATA -- PLEASE BACKUP!!!
7.phone reboots with hboot 0.98.0000 S-On
8. follow the other steps from revolutionary to get s-off
PS: i tried the other way around and i am successful s-on again! (so no loss of warranty)
Is there anyone else who tried this method?
3 people in german android-hilfe.de forum.
but some seem to have problems when their desire is branded (dont know if the use branded ruu or not)
Hi,
Im reall sorry if im being stupid but what is misc_version?
It is a script that lets u change the Version on your phone. I will look for one

Is this safe?
for me it worked on first try. But be sure that you backuped everything! The downgrade will erase everything! ! !

What's the difference between using the misc_version here to "change" your version compared to getting your phones misc version .img from "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p17.img" and then altering it and re uploading it?
To my understanding the one uploaded just patches your misc version where the other one you do it manually.
Or am I so lost I should go home?
should work either. but with the script it is easier, isnt it?
Because its easier for newbies to understand and your way uses more adb
Not that many people understand adb
Thanks, was just wondering.

It is not wise to link a specific RUU, since there are already new versions for all regions (Europe, Asia, etc.) and soon the branded will join also.
However a link to the sticky Stock ROMs thread should be handy
I can not find them
Do I need to flash the downgrade.zip?

Hello all.

Rooted the phone tried the ICS from sensation and kinda want to go back but not unroot.

yeah, what you are looking for doesn't exist at the moment. i too thought about making a nandroid of the the new ROM for people to flash, but since the new setup comes with a new radio, new kernel, new HBOOT, etc., i'm not sure how it would fly if someone just flashed the nandroid?
Hboot n radio would be the only thing missing... Kernels sits in recovery....

I know I made a flashable package out of the Google Talk apk file, and either did or meant to make some out of the other apps in it - I'm not sure which thread it's in.
I can check later and link it. Not sure what else anyone did with it, if wifi calling wasn't pulled forward from it I'll have a package for that sometime soon anyway.
I also never did get a chance to check what the gps changes were I remember being in it.
Edit:
Link to Gtalk flashable zip package from that update.

Do you have the stock rom for 1.55.531.3 that I can flash on my mt4gs? I would really appreciate it

It would be flashed as if restoring a nandroid. I would flash the above link. If you really want it I can send it

Thanks. Okay, this is where I am:
Unlocked bootloader with htcdev
s-on
hboot 1.45.0013
software 1.55.531.3
Would like to achieve root so that I can flash custom roms/use titanium backup. From what I can tell, nlarge was able to accomplish this. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474933&page=6). However, couldn't post on that thread because I have less than 10 posts....sorry.

Press any key to continue . . .
So, I understand, permission denied/operation not permitted, I assume because I don't have root.
When I look at superuser, it says "su binary voutdated" and when I tap to check for updates, automatic update fails and error message "su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary.
Can't boot into recovery mode, phone just sits on mytouch 4g slide screen. Again, I assume because no root. Same thing happens if I try to factory reset, just stays on the mytouch 4g slide screen.
Anyone have any suggestions? I am going crazy trying to get this phone to work. I would really appreciate the help!
Flash clock work recovery... I think I linked it somewhere... Or Google will help

Now find yourself a nice recovery image (CWM), boot phone into fastboot mode, "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
When this is done you will have a free and open recovery image, and can use that to write/install the su binary and apk (either with flashable zip or through adb shell, either will work).

Have tried flashing new and old versions of cwr and the earlier links from blue with no luck. Trying to do it manually through the computer with fastboot, results in 'waiting for device' message. All drivers installed, usb debug, have tried charge only/mount as disk drive options. Neither work. Have tried flashing manually by converting .img to .zip without compression and flashing through phone. No error message but nothing changes.
Cannot use cwm to flash because not error message says not rooted. Not sure what else to do. BTW, you guys are awesome for helping me out Thanks!
Put your phone in fastboot. Pull battery, hold down and power then try again

(hah, thanked but meant to hit quote)
What you need to do is go here: http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Scroll down the list and find the recovery for our device (5.0.2.7 for the myTouch 4G Slide) - download this.
Put it in the same folder as 'fastboot.exe' on your computer. Rename it to recovery.img
On your phone, turn off 'fastboot' in power options.
Power off the phone.
Now, give it a minute to power off - then hold the volume down button and press power.
Now it will boot up to the hboot menu. The list presented will have you highlighted on the word 'fastboot' - press power to choose this.
Now you are presented with the fastboot menu. It should say fastboot with a red highlight around it near the top.
At this time you should plug the USB cord from your computer into the phone. It will update to say fastboot USB in red highlight now.
-okay-
We have the phone booted up in fastboot, attached to the computer, and ready to work with.
Open up your command prompt, and navigate to the folder where you have the fastboot command. This is the same folder that you have the new clockworkmod recovery.img in from before.
In your terminal now type:
Code:
fastboot devices
This will come back with your device, serial number, and show you it is connected and ready to go. (if it is not something is wrong)
Now type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Let's break this down:
fastboot = activates the fastboot.exe command, and says that what's typed next uses the definitions in that fastboot.exe file.
flash = command that says write to
recovery = destination (name of partition) being written to
recovery.img = file written to previously defined location.
----
Since you have the new clockworkmod recovery file in the same folder as fastboot.exe, and you renamed it to recovery.img, then the previously shown command will overwrite your stock recovery with the new image you are providing it.
At this point you should have clockworkmod recovery in place of your stock recovery when you boot the device to hboot menu and select recovery.
Let us know if you have any other problems.
Good explanation blue.... It sounded like he knew what he was doing, hence my quick correction...
Hate typing a lot out from phone!

It's all good, I know being a chick I'm in the minority here. Either way, thank you so much.
So it looks like both nlarge and boltinghouse rooted s-on phones. Is there any reason not to go ahead and root that way? Is there any reason you need/want s-off?
it depends on what you want to do with your phone...
If you just want to be able to make recovery and flash ROMS than you dont need s-off
If you want to play with other stuff(radios and mounts) then you need s-off.
I personally like doing things to my phone so I would like to get to s-off. I am ok with it for now, but S-off will give me the full control I want.

Yes it is the right thread to follows, but keep in mind that the ZergRush file linked there is the source code (zergrush.c) and will not work. You need the binary (file named zergrush). If you are rooted you do not need ZergRush to use misc_version. After the ICS update your main software version became 14.01.401.2. To be able to downgrade to lower (for example 1.28.401.1) version you have to change it, otherwise the RUU will not continue. This is what misc_version is used for.
Follow the instructions carefully and you will make it.

If you have "limited information" it is because you are refusing to read. Everything that you could possibly need is on the forum already. Read the stickies, read the major threads, make sure you understand what you are doing and why. It isn't rocket science - but people will not spoon-feed you the answers all day long as we have far better things to do with our lives.

3) Open a terminal emulator on phone using same app as above and type following:
su (enter)
cd /data/local/tmp (enter)
chmod 755 revone.bin (enter)
./revone.bin -P (enter)
Reboot
4) Open terminal again and type:
su (enter)
cd /data/local/tmp (enter)
./revone.bin -s 0 -u (That would be a ZERO) (enter)
Reboot
5) That’s it! To get rid of the tampered, or relock, follow instructions below
To remove “tampered”
open terminal
cd /data/local/tmp
su
./revone.bin -t
These are other commands that you can fill in above to
-u – Unlock the device
-l – Lock the device (as if it was never unlocked)
-r – Relock the device (mark the device as relocked)
-t – Reset the device’s tamper flag.
