Hey folks,
First of all, I know this has probably been asked a gazillion times before, but here goes again lol.
I'm no noob when it comes to rooting, but this is the first time I'm trying to do that on a Nexus S, and I don't want to brick the phone.
This is what it says when in bootloader:
PRODUCT NAME: HERRING
HW VERSION: REV 52
BOOTLOADER VERSION: I9020XXKA3
BASEBAND VERSION: I9020XXKF1
CARRIER INFO: EUR
LOCK STATE: LOCKED (obviously lol)
Android version is 2.3.6
Build number: GRK39F
Is there a thread explaining how to root it and if so just paste the link here. You don't have to go into trouble explaining step by step.
I've read the 2 threads I could find on rooting it, but the problem is I have no idea which model it is (I9023 or other.)
Thanx a lot for your time.
check out nexusshcaks website.. he has explained everything.. with videos.. updated.. plus reviews of some gud roms as well..
Thanx a lot. I found those vids and am about to do the root. Can I flash any of the ROMs from here?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have found that most of the ROMS posted here work just fine, save for a few glitches depending on what provider you're with. Happy rooting!
Ok so I rooted and backed up the ROM I currently have, installed superuser, installed latest clocworkmod recovery and now when I want to flash a ROM, I reboot into recovery and get a triangle with android, which I guess means recovery isn't working. What now?
bro i have been in your shoes when this had happened to me, i cant exactly remembered how i fixed it, but this is what i remember:
1. Get Root Explorer
2. Open that app
3. Navigate to /system/etc/
3. Find a file named “install-recovery.sh”
4. Rename it to “install-recovery.sh.bak”
if you want it more detailed i can help
With stock ICS, every reboot destroyed my precious ClockworkMod recovery. I knew that there was a fix a la allenxx's helpful post above, but I ended up just reflashing recovery with fastboot when I wanted to mess with the custom recovery until I finally flashed a custom ROM (CodeName Android), which solved the problem for me.
HTC ONE X
i rooted my htc one x 2.20 firmware and opened the bootloader so i have twinwig or whatever its called but i stupidly wiped the system. i have NO os on my htc one x. i was wondering if there is any way i could get something on there. i could mount my sd card and install .zip files but i dont know if you could install a WHOLE os with a zip file. if there is a way please help! if there is a jelly bean os i could use and it would work i would prefer it because thats why i rooted my phone and now i feel stupid cause i messed up. there might be another post like this, but i couldnt find it. if you could help in anyway, please do so! anything will be appreciated! thank you

Are you unlocked/rooted/S-Off?
I have tried and tried several solutions all over the place to update. Nothing is working or maybe I am not understanding any of it. PLease please please someone help me with step by step process of updating the phone without having to unroot and root. It was days of efforts for me to get it rooted. would hate to go through that again. I am a rookie at this, so please bear with me if I am not able to understand some super techy words.
here's what I have:
One S from t-mobile.
Rooted. Have TWRP and SuperSu. Also have Titanium Backup Pro (set to backup weekly).
I think I am on stock ROM (how do I check that?)- unsure.

You need to have stock recovery to flash the ota update and it shouldn't remove root.

Pardon me for my ignorance. But...
1. How do I get stock recovery?
2. what next, lets say I get stock recovery. Do I run the OTA update? and then.... do you mind laying out some steps for me please. TIA.
Here for stock recovery, http://www.mediafire.com/view/?d8velqlrjor0wx9. Flash it with the all in one toolkit. Get update and let it update for you.
Hey man if u need some help holla my way I can walk you through it you want it rooted w/ a custom ROM its just better that way
Sent from my One S using xda premium
Not getting it still.
This is what i did.
1. I have phone connected to laptop. USB debugging on. on Data mode (as opposed to charge only).
2. downloaded stock recovery from the link specified above. it is called recovery.img. I have it on my computer's c drive. Also transferred it to phone's download directory. wasn't sure where i store it.
3. downloaded all in one kit on my pc.
4. clicked on "your own recovery". The phone went to bootloader mode. Meanwhile, my pc came up with a dialog box for me to pick recovery. i chose the recovery from my c: drive (phone was not even an option to pick from). it keeps asking to burn recovery.img to D drive (my dvd). no other option for me to chose. doesn't matter what i hit - burn or cancel. it keeps asking me the same thing.
something is not right.
Search for 'fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img' then...
Hi every one,
I've Huawei Honor running ICS 4.0.3. I'm having a problem in installing custom recovery.
Here are details of my phone:
Android: 4.0.3 (Rooted through this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28403132&postcount=799)
Baseband: 404029
Kernel: 3.0.8-perf-00061-g97a3097
Build No: U8860IV100R001C388B930
When I go to pink screen process to replace recovery.img, no drive displays in my computer. PC installs some drivers but no drive displays. Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
I'm a newbie and knows not much about these things but trying to learn hardly
As far I know after reading posts, I should have B919 rom installed to accomplish this. If I'm right, tell me and If I'm wrong, please guide me.
Thanks a lot.

Welcome to my stock rooted ROM thread!
These ROMs are built from either the official HTC RUUs posted here, or stock boot & system backups posted in the forum.
Code:
[CENTER][SIZE="3"]*** DISCLAIMER ***
Anything you flash from this thread is done AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
I will not be held responsible if something from this thread breaks your device![/SIZE][/CENTER]
Now that that's out of the way, here are the details:
ROM Features:
- Recovery-Flashable (TWRP Recommended)
- Rooted (SuperSU 2.65)
- Forced encryption disabled
- dm-verity disabled
Instructions:
- Unlock Bootloader
- Flash TWRP
- Format Data in TWRP to remove encryption (Wipe -> Format Data -> type "yes")
- Reboot Recovery
- Copy ROM of your choice to device over USB
- Flash ROM zip
- Reboot device (device will reboot once automatically at the beginning of the boot animation to install SuperSU)
- Profit!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- You cannot use the external SD card as internal storage, because that would require dm-verity to be enabled, which isn't possible on a custom ROM.
Available ROMs:
Unlocked/Developer Edition (GSM compatible):
1.57.617.20 Dev Edition - Android 6.0.1 - thanks @Wonders_Never_Cease

Is what for Sprint only? There are two ROMs.
Sprint Edition is for Sprint (obviously). Dev Edition is for GSM. There's also an AT&T RUU on the HTC site, but I haven't downloaded it. Hopefully someone else can do that and build their own ROM (one of the points of this thread).
That's what I needed to know. I still can't get it to go bast first boot image. It reboots after 6-10 seconds then never comes back on. I'm unlocked, supercid, on 1.12.617.6. Followed directions about wipe and format, flashed. Still nothing. I'll backup and punt for now. I tried numerous times.
My bad, just realized there is a deodexed version. Works great!
I've the same issue as Isun06.
Tryed the HIAE_DEV_EDITION_1.55.617.4_ROOTED_CPTB-deodex.zip and also HIAE_DEV_EDITION_1.55.617.4_ROOTED_CPTB-odex.zip on a European model (2PQ910000). It's S-Off and bootloader unlocked, Super-CID. MID changed to 2PQ912000.
I followed also the directions, but unfortunately it didn't work. I restored my backup which is working.

my previous reply, was luckily deleted, by me fortunately pressing f5,
"it didn't work", "it doesnt work", are not the most useful of statements, so 2 choices
start logging, from the recovery flash, the kmsg/ramoops (whatever this device uses), etc
you should also include what firmware you are running and so on and so forth,
seriously, people, the OP just released this a few hours ago, and he get's, yet another "it doesnt work" post?? -__-
what device do you have (specific, not vague)
getvar all (excluding IMEI, MEID, serial number)
what firmware are you running
has the ROM flashed properly in recovery
is the kernel in place
logcat, kmsg, etc
etc
if YOU want to help, i'm sure it would be appreciated, but the OP need specifics and exact details
I'm not trying to be one of those people, just simply stating I can't seem to get past the first boot . It reboots and is dead. I stated I'm on a fresh install of the dev unlocked 1.12.617.6. I went through the wipe format etc. I supercid. Mid is same as 2PQ912000.
In recovery it said completed and no issues. I'm sure its me. I was just stating I can't seem to move past that first boot.
Thank you for the work, I do appreciate the folks that work on these. Without you this site would be useless and, frankly, I would have stayed w apple years and years ago.

Have you tried installing the 6.0.1 Dev Edition firmware to see if that helps? Typically the ROM and firmware should correspond.
I flashed the img from the other topic that listed the convert from what I'm on now to the 6.0.1. I'm assuming it was the img as it stated it was to be flashed after the ROM backup. The 2PQxxx img. I'm assuming it's the firmware ? This phone is a different animal from the m8 and back. I've done numerous HTC phones and this one is confusing the hell out of me. It's my fault. Not yours.

fastboot getvar all from Download mode might help us see what situation your device is currently in. It sounds like you need to RUU and start over, tbh. A clean slate always helps.
You also need to be more specific with the information you provide. You're referring to vague files, so without knowing exactly what you flashed, it's difficult to help.
To be fair, the purpose of this topic is not to help people figure out why they can't flash a ROM; I already know the ROMs work. This is a Development thread to aggregate the stock rooted bases. As such, the spurious discussion really belongs in Q&A.
Is there anyway you could make a debloated version? Not trying to push it as I greatly appreciate your work done here!
@Captain_Throwback
Thank you for sharing your work.
I read the thread about rooting the A9 but it seems not all devices can be rooted (I am not sure), so I asked the OP there and waiting for his reply.
The one I have is 16GB/2GB model with Build number: 1.27.401.5 CL656287 release-keys, so would the method you mentioned work?
I also have another question but it is off topic, it is regarding the 2GB vs 3GB variants, where can I ask you regarding that? As someone was trying to help me and he told me that you can help.
Thank you so much

I don't know what the "method you mentioned" refers to, but I do know that the FAQ in the TWRP thread answers several root questions. The root method in @jcase's Root thread is largely deprecated with the advent of @Chainfire's latest Beta zips, which automatically patch the boot image. It seems to me that you're making it more complicated than necessary.
And all questions belong in the Q&A forum. If you have a question that you need my feedback on, just mention me and I'll see it.
Now please, let's get this thread back on topic.
I'm going to also upload the firmware extracted from these RUUs to the Downloads tab of the DevDB project. That may help with some of the compatibility issues people are having with the ROMs. Note, however, that the firmware is for people with S-OFF ONLY, and you may need to add your MID and/or CID to the android-info.txt included in the zip for it to flash on your variant. Before you do that, MAKE SURE THE FIRMWARE YOU'RE FLASHING IS FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR VARIANT!!!! That means - don't flash GSM firmware on your CDMA device and vice versa - the radios are incompatible and will undoubtedly break data for you.
I'm uploading the AT&T firmware now (from the HTC-posted RUU), as I'm about to build a stock rooted for that and upload.
