Hi all. I'm pretty much a DIY girl, rooted my Android phone last year with Revolutionary, and made it S-ON again yesterday so I can apply the updates, which has been long delayed considering the ICS and latest Sense are here and I still got Gingerbread and sense 2.1. I'm not sure though if I was successful in unrooting my phone. Here's what comes up when I press and hold volume-down and power:

When I try to install the system update, it turns off the phone and bring me to the fastboot/hboot white screen (you know what I mean), and I don't know how to continue from there so I just reboot my phone and return to its old software. I even tried to factory reset it but the same thing happened (Oh no, even the factory reset doesn't work now!). How do I get past this?
Just to note, I tried to make a gold card and install 5 different RUU... I just get "ERROR 131 CUSTOMER ID ERROR".
Please help me. I will be SO grateful. Thank you!
I rooted and rommed my own phone some time back without any problems, thanks to many excellent posts on this site. My boss kept moaning that his sensation kept crashing/hanging/behaving badly - so I told him that I would root and rom his phone, Which I have done. Problem is though there's no BT or WIFI. I have tried several variations on PG58IMG.ZIP but none even offer to carry out the upgrade. The phones CID is VODAP001 and the text from the HBOOT is as follows....

I cannot seem to change the CID (I tired to superCID it). I'm fairly sure that it's the radio.img that needs to be updated - can anyone help me as to why this isn't happening. What PG58IMG.ZIP should I be using are there any additional locks that Vodafone have put on that I need to remove. The OS seems to work fine except no wifi or bluetooth. The ROM I installed is the AKOP milestone 6. Please help, my boss might sack me! :crying:
You would probably be better getting the phone to have S-OFF first.
You've not stated if the phone has gone through the HTCdev unlock mechanism. Although, I don't know what that achieves in comparison to full S-OFF.
EDIT:
In About Phone -> Software information what does it say r.e.:
Software Number
More -> Baseband version
dev unlocked and s-off. Sorry, I thought that was implied where I said "root and rom his phone, Which I have done"

I've tried several PG%*IMG.zip files that appear to be the correct versions, but all they do is get as far as the Parsing... then returns me to the fastboot screen. Everything on the phone appears to work correctly except radio services (BT & Wifi) and the SD card won't mount on PC on USB mode, but I'm not bothered about that - if the Wifi works I can always network files onto the phone.

Hi,
According to your hboot,it says "S-ON" .
That is why no PG58IMG.zip will work
It seems that if you cannot see that,you should really not be playing with your boss's phone.
If you intend to carry on,look in my signature at the "Asskicker Thread "
That deals with s-on and flashing custom ROMS...
Hi all,
I have a big big problem.
My HOX is keep restarting.. and wont load anymore to my homescreen.
I'm having problems with the internal SD, cause I put a custom ROM on it WITHOUT making
a backup from my previous ROM (the original from HTC).
ClockWorkMod is not anymore on my phone, it wont start when i go to HBOOT and RECOVERY.
I cant put usb debugging on, cause I cant get into the android settings.
Also, I unlocked my HOX with fastboot, but now it says ***RELOCKED***?
Here is the information from my HOX:

Please can someone help me with this???
I really need some help with this!!!
Hi guys, I need some help. Well the thing is that I want to go back 100% stock, but I can't do it (because I'm a the biggest noob on earth and I don't have much experience with HTC devices) I'm currently on stock ROM, I don't care about having root functionalities anymore (I just wanted to SIM unlock my device with a method somewhere on the forums, that's all), the phone keeps restarting by itself and there's nothing I can do about it (it will boot as it should but after a few seconds restarts itself), and I have to wait until the battery dies, or when go into bootloader (or whatever the thing is) then go into FASTBOOT and selecting POWER DOWN. I just want my phone working again. I have the T-Mobile US variant.

EDIT: Nevermind I managed to restore my phone using RUU.
Hi All,
A friend has asked me to help root his HTC One SV, but it's been a while since I rooted my own HTC Desire. Back then I was pretty well versed in the process but having looked around the forums I now appear to be out of touch with the terminology somewhat!
It's a UK model One SV bought through T-Mobile, running Android 4.2.2. I've gotten to the point where I'm ready to unlock the bootloader (using the HTC Dev site) but stopped at the warning that the phone will be factory reset so we're going to make a few more backups first, just in case.
Then I have a copy of a Clockworkmod recover which I can flash, and a SuperUser.zip file to install, all as per the instructions here:
http://theunlockr.com/2013/07/16/how-to-root-the-htc-one-sv/
But what I'm not sure of when searching the forums are the references to Boost, Cricket, K2_U etc. Can someone advise me how I would find out what type this SV is?
I really just want to make sure I've got compatible versions of everything so I don't brick his phone!
If any details or version numbers are needed please just let me know.
Thanks everybody
ok.... I'm officially hijacking my own thread...!
I managed to get root on the SV, the guide I posted in the link worked fine. Now my question is - can I use something like Link2SD to allow space for more apps, as I used to on my old Desire?
I'm just using the rooted stock 4.2.2 (Sense 5) ROM at the moment.
Thanks again
Boost & Cricket are US carriers, so they are not important to you.
You can see what model you use in bootloader (k2u = without LTE; k2ul = with LTE).
And skip this files or you will fail!
Instead follow my index thread in my signature. You will find recovery and SuperSu.zip which are recommended and confirmed working for HTC One SV with Android 4.2.2.
Thanks splatterhead. In that case we must be k2u as it's not an LTE (4G) phone.
As I say I've managed OK to get rooted so I'm now using the rooted stock ROM. The problem we're now facing is that the App Storage partition still contains 2.8GB of "Other" !
So I'm wondering if Link2SD or any other way of moving more apps than is "standard" to either the SD card or the Internal Storage partition (as opposed to the App Storage partition)? Would I need a custom ROM for this?
Cheers
Whoops, actually, it appears I'm wrong! In HBOOT I see K2_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL !
So it appears this is an LTE handset...! Shouldn't rooting / unlocking bootloader have given me S-OFF, by the way? Can't remember if that was a separate / necessary process from the Desire days??
Unlocking bootloader does not give you S-off.
Lets bring more light into your device.
Connect your phone with fastboot and type into the cmd:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Put the output here (except your IMEI & Serial number).
I can't really believe, that CWM recovery is working with 4.2.2 software/hboot.
Thanks. Will have to come back to you tomorrow on this - it's a work friend and he's left for the day!
I've since read that a lot of people are preferring TWRP recovery on the One SV. Is that the recovery you would recommend?
I do notice some problems with the version of Clockworkmod that I flashed (from memory 6.0.something) - when navigating with the volume keys the screen shifts left and right.
If you can recommend a version of TWRP that would be best to flash I will gladly install it!
Yes, a known bug of this cwm build. TWRP is almost bugfree, recommended for 4.2.2 and most used.
But more important: this cwm build normally don't boot into recovery and is hanging on splash screen, after the firmware files are successfully updated to 4.2.2.
That is something that makes me curious and why should carry some info's about the device.
Ok, thanks very much for your help. I will pick this up in the morning and run the command you mentioned to report the phone details.
I've seen a recommendation to use TWRP version 2.7.0.1-k2_ul-k2u with Android 4.2.2 on the SV - should I flash this recover to get away from using the Clockworkmod one?
Yes.
Hi Splatterhead,
Here's the output from the getvar /all command I ran in fastboot (after flashing the TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery which is working very well and is much easier to use than the CWM!)
It does say failed at the end although much of the info seems to have come through correctly (not sure if something is missing though)

Again we've got rooted Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5.0 installed (the same as what was installed before we started, just with root access now)
Hope the info is useful - and any advice you can give on the possibility of using Link2SD would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much again

Ok, your device is for sure with LTE. Some LTE devices got a new hboot with 4.2.2, some not. Your device seems to be on the old hboot, thats why cwm is booting.
Please note: root is not root, lol. The device has a system write protection, which means everything you change with your root rights on system partition will be reverted after a reboot.
You can disable this with getting S-Off.
About your Link2SD i'm at least not the right "teacher", i never used that.
There is only another solution i can offer you.
You can swap your internal and external memory with this mod.
It's made for 4.1.2, but should work on 4.2.2 as well.
Oh, I see! So for "true" root, we would need to gain S-Off? I've read that this can be very difficult on the SV with JB?
The mod you posted looks interesting. Does this swap the "App Storage" partition with SD, or the "Phone Storage" partition? because this phone has 2 built in partitions - one around 4GB (with 2.8GB taken up by "other"!) and one around 16GB.
Many apps can only be installed to the App Storage partition which is causing us the problem with storage space.
You must try that yourself. I never used that mod myself in daily usuage, only for testing. But it swaps the whole partition. If that helps for your apps, i don't know.
S-off is not that hard. If you have a proper setup/knowledge (adb/fastboot/supersu/htc drivers installed) it should work fine.
OK, great. Thank you so much for helping get us this far. If we give this a try at least we can revert using the second script provided
And of course, we would be making a Nandroid backup from TWRP before trying it!
Thanks again for all your help. :good::good::good:
