[Q] - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi
begining statues of my phone:
my phone is one xl(evita) and relock , s-on then read more!
i did change cid of HTC__J15 to CW___001 and then s-on and relock the bootloader but now i can't unlock retry...!!
the old carrier was GCC but then relock is at&t !
please help me...
tnx

Why did you change it to the at&t CID? The at&t CID is blocked by htcdev. You need to go through the hassle of getting SuperCID so you can unlock your bootloader now. Plus, there's no advantage to having the at&t CID because you can't install any firmware from the standard Evita onto your middle eastern variant. This is a great example of why you shouldn't do anything when you don't know what you're doing. All of the information I've just given you is readily available in our forum hag you done some research. Anyway, what are your bootloader details?

What can I do to get My phone unlocking?
tnx

You can't do anything. You've gotten the phone to a point where it's impossible for you to unlock it now. You can't change the CID again because you're s-on. You can't use the usual way to get SuperCID because you don't have the 3.18 version installed. Why in the world did you do what you did?

Maybe. But I think it just won't work. You can take the risk and try but if it was me I wouldn't.

ok
now can i install RUU from at&t brand for upgrade frimware & then super cid?
As an example:
RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_ 0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed.exe

I don't know if it's safe. I've seen at least one person brick their phone by installing firmware from the standard Evita onto the middle eastern variant.

What should I do now?
I want to unlock...
please help me

Well first I'd edit out the imei from the post about your bootloader settings..
Like timmaaa said, you're at a point where you have very little options. You could try XPwn or RUU but it's a huge risk. See, this is why you read...so you don't do things like this...

You can't, that's what I've been trying to tell you. The things you've done to your phone have made it impossible.

S-OFF, LOCKED, Can't root

I've bought a phone which has S-OFF, ***LOCKED***, which I'm trying to root. I've seen many guides, read them but they are all from the point you have S-ON. I've tried manual ADB install of CWM but that fails, permission denied.
Any advice before I brick it ? The phone seems to be in a quasi state...not sure how I progress.

are you sure you are S-OFF? If so, you can try a pre-rooted rom.(Flash a recovery first)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183684
Have the same problem. It says ***Locked*** S-OFF. Don't know what to do. Before made RUU I have rooted my phone succesfully (one click root), but now can't do that in the same way. ;/
I wasn't sure if S-OFF was really off but everything I tried was failing. This was from a Win7 64 bit, I switch to Win7 32bit PC and SuperOneClick worked then!
I've got root, CWM recovery installed and all sorted so thank. Not sure why 64bit Windows 7 was causing a problem, nothing indicated it was but a 32 bit pc everything worked perfectly.
How you switch to windows 32bit?
Generally, when S-OFF, the only thing needed to be able to do just about anything - is to use a special PG88IMG.ZIP that includes latest reengineered bootloader and custom recovery.
I'm not sure if there is one in this forum, but it's easy to create.

Where could I get this? Or how it is called? Because I have no clue what I need to enter in google.
To begin with, search for PG88IMG.ZIP to understand, what it is and what it does.
You need to unlock the bootloader, the ***locked*** indicates its still locked. Use HTCDev or some other tool to unlock your bootloader. Not sure how S-off works for this phone, it might have just been re-locked, so try "fastboot oem unlock" i think is the command and it should unlock
Then you can flash a recovery image and then flash a zip file containing the su binary and app via recovery

Just flash a ROM from the INDEX
Do you have a custom recovery?

Please, do not give suggestions when you don't know how things work - see the bold part of your own post. You wouldn't want someone that doesn't know exactly how motor works to fix your car, would you?
If he has S-OFF, there is no need to unlock bootloader and void warranty. Moreover, having S-OFF is better and more powerful than having unlocked bootloader. All the info is in the stickies, and you should go read them too.

Dont talk to me like i dont know what im talking about. Ive rooted and messed with plenty of phones. I based my advice off of my experience. Just because i dont know all of the specifics of a particular device doesnt really matter, all of HTCs devices operate basically the same. So maybe you shouldnt be worried about me and more worried about helping this guy like everyone else is. Its not up to you to decide if he wants to take my advice or not, thats for him to decide.

You basically wrote that you don't know what you're talking about, and by suggesting to unlock bootloader on S-OFF phone you made it obvious beyond any doubt. Indeed, all of HTC devices operate the same, all of HTC devices have bootloader security, all of them more or less since eMMC introduction block write access to /system in bootloader, all of them can be unblocked by turning S-OFF or unlocking the bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty and prevents /boot from being flashed from recovery, subjecting the user to constant kernel flashing through FASTBOOT for any ROM he wants to flash, while S-OFF allows full and undisturbed recovery functionality. Thus, bootloader unlock is inferior solution that should be avoided if possible, and suggesting it for a phone that already has S-OFF is BAD/not smart/pick whatever negative adjective you want.
Of course, all that is written in stickies, as I said, but I guess that you can't be bothered reading before writing, and when suggested to do so, prefer going all defensive. Yes, you don't know what you're talking about. I'm glad you rooted zillion devices, if you think it makes you know everything - read the info above again.
I already did my part to help the guy, and I don't have enough time for people that want everything laid out for them. If he's willing to use some Google and read - he'll get to his solution using my pointer, or somebody will point him to the relevant guide (and there is one in INDEX thread, AFAIK). The old debate of giving someone a fish vs teaching him fishing. I picked my side a long time ago.
Guys, don't be angry at each other
Thank you, you both helped me a lot. Big thanks )
Rooted my phone. If it's interesting I can tell how

Lucky!
Looks like you're S-OFF'd and have SuperCID, which means you should be able to install any rom you like.
If I'm guessing correctly you have ENG hboot 2.00?
Just ignore the ***Locked***, as you're S-OFF'd you should do anything. How did you try to flash cwm?
Fastboot flash recovery?

It looks like a xtcclip s-off so you've got a permanent s-off regardless which hboot you use.
Hi guys, i have the same problem. I'm *****Locked***** but s-off, so i made this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100 but as i'm s-offed i don't need the 2nd pass (i think).. so in 3rd pass when i make this, the cmd tells me that im not allowed to install the recovery. What's wrong?

[Q] How to return to stock or s-off without matching hboot ,firmware,cid

i have a sensation 4g that I had rooted , super cid, and s-off using revolutionary method ,i'm thinking i have a wrong s-on / soft brick maybe that returned my phone to s- on but still rooted and super cid , I have tried the junopbear s-off method , various ruu , and everything else I could find after doing much research with no luck , in the process i lost super cid and now have T-MOB010 cid with htc unlock and rooted .
the problem I think I have had trying to run a ruu to just put back to stock is that I have hboot 1.29 with version 1.50.531.1 and cid T-MOB010 and cannot find a ruu that will match those or update without an error

[Q] Bootloader Help HTC Sensation XE

Hi all,
I successfully unlockes, rooted and S-off my Sensation XE and I think I also SIM-unlocked the phone.
To be able to do this, I had to downgrade my bootloader from 1.29.0000 to 1.17.000 to be able to S-Off it.
I also restored the original backup from the SD card. I never had any errors.
The poblem now is that the phones gets into endless cycles of rebooting and I'm not able to switch it on. I can still asily get into the bootloader. I think the problem lies in the Bootloader version and I tried to find my phone's up-to-date hboot version (I guess it has to be 1.29.1111 now). Any help would be highly appreciated. Links and easy explanation as I'm still a noob please.
Many thanks.

Hi, I used the same link in the begining of this post, added by malybru and downloaded the firmware 1.17 initially and flashed it. I then followed this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864053 (only the S-off section though as I've rooted and unlocked my phone earlier via HTCDev.com). Then I restored the backup.
when it didn't work as decribed in the begining of my post, I downloaded the newest firmware, but my mistake was that I left the old file (1.17) in the download folder on my pc which led to automatic addition of ''(1)'' to the end of the newest firmware file name. this led to the phone not seeing it as a firmware file and hence not using it.
When Malybru posted the same link, I had more confidence in the file and retried the file 1 more time and this time, I noted the change to the firmware name and corrected it. It all work like a charm.
Good luck.

but the OP said, he had to downgrade first before to be able to S-Off it.
so that mean, he was S-ON when downgrading right?

Sorry for the confusion. On careful recounting the steps I took, I did indeed S-off it first, using the link in my last post before being able to downgrade. The reason I downgraded was because when using the file PG58DIAG.nbh, I used to get an error msg about S-OFF, so I S-offed it but I kept getting the same error msg; so when researched online, I noticed that another cause for this error could be the wrong firmware so then I had to downgrade...
So I guess you're right rzr86.

[Q] How do I remove S-On, Super CID, unroot and get completely back to stock

My phone has been having audio issues and I've ruled out everything on the software side.
Going to send it to HTC but I need to get back to stock obviously. Is there a specific order I should do these in? How does one get back to s-on? I assume removing super cid would be just like getting it only change the cid to HTC_001 or whatever, right?
How do I unroot?
And then of course I need to relock the bootloader, which if I'm not mistaken is as simple as running fastboot oem lock, right?
I basically need a step by step guide. I've searched around but haven't found everything exactly as I need it. Perhaps this could become a useful thread for others, with everything in one place.
Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

I basically need a step by step guide. I've searched around but haven't found everything exactly as I need it. Perhaps this could become a useful thread for others, with everything in one place.
Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

IIRC the RUU for your device reverts all of that. Not 100% sure about the S-ON though.
I've read somewhere in another guild that it's necessary to first Relock your bootloader (using the oem lock command) and afterwards use the right RUU for your device...
I thought this could be helpful
Thanks for the tips.
Since I'm super cid, I can flash any RUU at this point. Any idea if locking my bootloader first will cause this to not be the case?

I think to get S-OFF you have to use for example the All-in-one toolkit, I don't think relocking your bootloader will cause a S-on... But I think others may have more info about that. Planning on running an RUU for the first time myself

Yeah, I'm assuming I'd have to do some more then just run the RUU.
I'd gladly give it a go but like I posted earlier, I'd like to know if there is a certain order to do this in. If I run the RUU before removing s-off, will that make things easier? Harder? No different?
Anyone?
Personally, I think it's easier to first run the RUU and then go back to S-ON, because while you're S-OFF you won't have problems with the RUU for your CID, and the All-in-one kit says that you need to run stock Rom and stock recovery before you can S-OFF. So actually, I don't think it's recommended first going S-ON and then running an RUU.

Hmmm, all right. I've never used the all-in-one kit but I've noticed it has a "back to s-on" function so I'll give it a try. I'm on Linux so I need to run it in Wine (Windows emulator) so hopefully there's no hiccups.

My phone has been having audio issues and I've ruled out everything on the software side.
Going to send it to HTC but I need to get back to stock obviously. Is there a specific order I should do these in? How does one get back to s-on? I assume removing super cid would be just like getting it only change the cid to HTC_001 or whatever, right?

1)If you have put on a modified HBoot (such as to remove tampered or red warning) return to stock.
(only added this because if you S-on with modified HBoot it will brick your phone)
2)Run RUU.exe
3)Reset lock status flag
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155955
4)S-ON your phone

Edited that, If anyone notices a problem please post.
So, little question for myself.
Do I need to first Relock my bootloader?
Or can I just go and run an RUU? (I'm S-OFF)

No, it doesn't need to be locked when S-OFF.
The most important is running the RUU that matches your CID. (since you are s-off it is easy to change the CID to whatever you want, and thus run whatever RUU you want)
i have bought a used htc one s and it had sense 5.5 based JB4.2.2 rom but i want to downgrade to stock firmware. kindly tell me which RUU i should use and how should i procede.

[Q] SIM Unlock Code Not Working

Hi, I got the SIM unlock code from my carrier for my HTC One S but it doesn't appear to work. It's also a lot shorter than the code I used on my Xperia Z1 (same carrier) but they say that it's supposed to be valid.
My HTC One S has the bootloader unlocked and CyanogenMod 10.2 installed on it. Could not having a locked bootloader and stock ROM be the reason the unlock code doesn't work?
Thanks!

You probably need the non modified stock firmware installed.
BTW you can also unlock it for FREE
Well, I did get the code for free
Yeah, I've been trying to restore everything to stock to find out but I'm having problems with that also. Perhaps I'll try the link you posted to verify the code. Maybe it's slightly different. Thanks!
Well, the code is the same, guess it just won't unlock without being stock ROM or something and I can't get it back to stock

Why can't you get it back to stock?
Any of the guides I follow don't seem to work. I relock the bootloader but then I can't seem to apply the matching RUU for the phone. What looks like the matching one (hboot and radio) is a ZIP file (OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TELUS_WWE_3.16.661.4_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_307532nohrvy5j6i2o2i8i.zip) and I'm not sure how to apply it. The exe RUU versions don't work either because, I'm assuming, they don't match my hboot and radio. I feel like a pretty competent guy when it comes to rooting and imaging Android devices but this just isn't working for me Thanks for your help.

Flash Viper 2.2 as sense base stock rom.
Use rumrunner to gain S-OFF
Flash any RUU you like
Thanks! I'll give that a try. I read you need SuperCID for S-OFF, does rumrunner do that for you?

Rumrunner will get you S-OFF. Then you can change the CID.
Perhaps you know, I'm getting this when I try to image that Viper ROM.
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "ville"

Try to first flash the included boot.img before flashing Viper 2.1.0
or try try Viper 3
You need any sense based rom to get S-OFF
Ok, so, I guess I missed the part of installing Viper where it says to have TWRP and not ClockworkMod recovery >_<
Got TWRP on there, was able to flash Viper 2.1 EASILY. And it unlocked like a charm. THANKS!! Didn't have to get S-OFF for the unlock. What ROM is the best for the One S in your humble opinion? Should I still get S-OFF?

S-OFF means you can flash any stock RUU e.g unbranded and flash any radio version e.g. 1.20 and the kernel (boot.img) get flashed with the rom via recovery and has not to be flashed by fastboot command.
I actually use Candy 5 v1.5.0 but I can't say what fits your needs best
Does Candy have decent battery life? What is your general experience with it? I really want to put Lollipop on this phone
Also, do you have a good tutorial to remove the red Dev warning on boot?

Battery performance is very good for me with Candy 5. I use my phone mainy for messaging and making calls (Its a phone lol). I can't say how long last the battery when you play games or surf the web heavily. For me the battery easy lasts two days.
For getting rid of the red warning you can flash a modded HBoot which can be found HERE. Make sure you use the same version number that is actually installed on your phone but "modded"

Hmmm. I have 2.15 but I seem to be getting an error during the flash: FAILED (remote: 41 model id check fail)
Is that the variance in model that you mentioned earlier?

Seems so And I don't know how to solve it for PJ4011000. May be you can ask or look in the thread if somebody has successfully done it for your model. You probably can edit the flashable file, but I you should NOT try it, if you not exactly know how.
