Hi, I tried to install the first CM12 nightly this morning and got the error saying my device had bootloader 3.16.0.0000 and needed at least 3.18.0.0000 or 3.19.0.0000. How do I go about updating the bootloader? Tried googling and that didn't really help. Any help would be much appreciated:fingers-crossed:fingers-crossed:

Figured it out last night before bed! Visit this thread, follow the steps and you're good to go!
Thanks! I am having problems getting my M8 on Bell to S-Off, so I need to figure that out first (I've tried it many times, no luck). Changing the CID doesn't work for me for some reason.

you could try CID then htc dev unlock

If you were a bit silly like me, perhaps you flashed the JB OTA on your Telus HOX before you rooted, unlocked, got SuperCID and S-Off. I didn't have much luck searching the forum for exact steps on how to get that stuff after taking the OTA. All the info is here, but I was confused what applied to my Telus phone and what would work even after the JB OTA. So I figured I'd detail my steps here in case someone else wants a detailed guide. Obviously the credit for everything below goes to the original authors of the techniques. I'm just linking stuff.
Unlock
1.Register at HTCDev and follow the directions to unlock your bootloader. Its pretty straightforward. You don't need to download the whole huge 300+ Android SDK. You can just get the adb-fastboot package from this thread.
Flash Recovery
I flashed TWRP with one-click via this AIO toolkit. There is probably tons of other ways to do it.
Root
Not sure its possible to root the stock JB unless you install a different ROM. So I did a system reset in TWRP and the flashed the Viper XL ROM. Its pre-rooted.
SuperCID
Its quite easy - just follow this guide exactly.
S-Off
Follow this guide and you shouldn't have a problem.
Once you have all that, you can downgrade your touch firmware. The reason to do this is if you want to install AOSP-based ROMs like CyanogenMod or AOKP. I haven't done that yet because I'm pretty happy with ViperXL. If you want to stick with Sense-based ROMs it isn't necessary to downgrade.
As a final note, once you've got ViperXL and S-Off I'd highly recommend trying the ElementalX Kernel.

You can. I was able to root my stock JB (had to install SuperSU manually) after installing the custom recovery through fastboot.

Whoops--corrected.
if i have the unlock token i can root 3.18 AT T ota?
Yup, if you managed to unlock the bootloader then you're clear to go all the way to s-off (and you should).
I have a htc one S , but this SuperCID doesn't work on my device.
Does it work after the JB OTA with the One X ?
I'm unable to use my Phone without using custom ROMs, 'cause I can't flash any RUU (CID is T-MOB101).
(I had battery problems after JB OTA-Update)
This isn't the One S forum. I'd advise asking in the appropriate forum.
Ok i can bearly find any info i'm sorry if im in the wrong place but the one x plus from [email protected] just got an ota is it still posible to root after this update? I tryed hysoon200's tool kit but the htc dev website claims my unlock key is too short i coppied it perfectly several times infact the last time i almost bricked it the screen was black for a half hour and after 2-5 mins holding the power button it booted back up can someone please point my retarted a$$ to the rite direction?
Hey, the One X+ is a totally different phone so I can' t really say what's the best direction. You are best off posting in the One X+ forum.

i wound up following the htc steps and manually made a folder and it gave me the correct token so needless to say it's unlocked flashed the su.zip made a nandroid and now i got full root thanks for your help thoe but now i'm looking at roms i keep hearing viper is the thing to have but i'm impartial to cyanogen so i'm looking for unofficial portss i wish they would crack s-off so i could do a normal flash without the dang adb lol
If I do this, will I lose my SIM unlock? I am using an unlocked Telus One X with Fido. Thanks.
You can s-off. You just need to change yiur cid to 11111111 first. Aosp roms are all in the original android development section of this forum.
I believe carrier unlock is done at the bootloader layer so it should not affect your sim unlock

I just unlocked the bootloader. Now I want to flash TWRP, but do I need to run the X Factor exploit in the AIO toolkit? Thanks.
Just a quick question, I did all the steps including downgrading the touch firmware (thanks for the help!), but I just have one more question. I was looking at CM 10.1 ROM and it said and update to RUU 3.18 is required. How can I check my RUU? Do I need to update? Thanks for any help.
Just checked my RUU, it's 3.17.

3.17 is fine. If that cm10.1 doesn't boot, ruu again, flash recovery, downgrade touchscreen and flash it again.
Sorry for the repeating post, I know there are many threads out there regarding this problem but I had problems after following those.
I used TWRP and installed "cos-0.7-20130427-NIGHTLY-evita", bootloader is unlocked (via HTCDev) and rooted. But my phone is still returning "ROGER001" when I search for supercid and s-on, hboot 2.14.
I followed this post (to turn s-off) "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071", but after step 5, I got FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail) and for the touchscreen firmware (downgrade), I need s-off.
Can anyone help step by step or should I revert back to stock ROM? If I have no other option but reverting back, is there any thread I can follow?
Thanks in advance!
You need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware to get the 4.2.2 since your on hboot 2.14. There's a sticky at the top of the original android thread. as for getting s-off it may take a couple times, I had to changes roms from cm to viper to get mine s-off(ed)

I saw that post to downgrade the touchscreen firmware, but pre-req for that is to turn s-off, can you please guide me how you did the s-off.
All I can recommend is switching to a Sense based rom if your on an AOSP based one. I was on cm10 or 10.1 when I first tried it, I got the same error 99 or 96 not sure. I tried it about 5 times on cm before switching to Viper 3.2.5 and it worked first try. other than that and fallowing the directions perfectly that's all i got. If you have any other problems I'd try the thread for s-off

Press and hold power until the phone shuts off. this will simulate a battery pull. Reboot the PC and then try again. Repeat that until you get error 92. I don't want to say it's normal that you're getting error 99 but it certainly is extremely common. It's not that you're doing anything wrong, it's just the way the exploit works.

tried that 5-6 times, still no luck. Is it windows 8 that is causing the problem or how do I check if my phone has SuperCID or not? (it returns "ROGER001" in supercid)
Then it doesn't have supercid. It needs to be 11111111.

you need to edit your cid in mmcblck0p4. look into hex edit mmcblck0p4. There's a couple guides floating around in Q&A and General section. I am not sure if you will be able to push the file back since 2.14 introduced write protection of system files.. There was a thread where beaups helped someone to do it in Q&A but I'm at work and can't find it for you right now. If I manage to find out before you I will post it here.

Thanks for your help, I tried that already but didn't work. I flashed my phone with ViperXL rom (with Sense) and its working fine now. I will untill the release of 4.2.2 rom which will have the firmware for touchscreen.

False. That only works with s-off or if you already have supercid you can change it once without s-off

Well I tried everything, supercid in fastboot, changing cid manually, tried htc one x all-in-one toolkit. But nothing worked for me, still if there is something else I can try, I will try that.
Downgrade your hboot with jet tool then hex edit your cid.

I'd like to return to stock JB for moonshine S-OFF, and the software version that was last installed before I rooted was 3.14.531.17 710RD. This was the small update that was released to fix the battery drain after the release of JB for the One S. It was released right after 3.14.531.11, which I see an RUU for. My question is: Can I use the 3.14.531.11 RUU (detailed RUU name: RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2) even though I upgraded, before rooting and installing CM10.1, to 3.14.531.17? All other relevant information matches.
Thanks.
EDIT: Nevermind, stupid question. Of course that number denotes the software version so I'll be fine for S-OFF as long as I don't OTA upgrade to 3.14.531.17.
can someone confirm this? been trying to find info on this, having no luck.
I don't know if you need them to match but I do know here is the link for the last updates RUU

Yes, this is correct. Use that RUU.exe to return to stock, and it will also work when using Moonshine.
That RUU.exe is for U.S. tmobile users.

You knew exactly what I was trying to achieve there. Success!! Got s-off, and supercid. Running MaximusHD 10.0.0 right now. One more quick question though if you don't mind. Can there be issues switching between mods, as long as I don't go ruu obviously. Thanks for your time.

Mods? I don't use any mods on Maximus, so I don't know about that.
If you mean switching between ROMs when you have Maximus installed, then yes, you need to downgrade your firmware to try any other rom after Maximus is installed.

So my note 2 blew up on me this past weekend so I got my daughters MT4GS. it was running stock and I couldn't handle it. I had been a little turned off by the wire trick that needs to be done with the current method. I would have attempted it if that team had not pulled their links for the windows version. After cruising some other htc threads I came across rumrunner s-off. Turns out the universal method works just fine on this device. I am currently s-off and flashing roms with no issues. If anyone needs more info or thinks I should write it into a guide just let me know.

yeah all that's fine bootlocker unlocked for some time - but this phone was running GB stock as of yesterday, think one of the OTA updates made it so revolutionary doesn't work (RevIO is what I have most experience with) - but ill give Rumrunner a shot, given this was a short thread and i had a few other questions on radios and what not, moved discussion to new thread.
I wanted to get my Verizon M8 on 4.4.2 back to stock, and I found and followed this guide.
Flashed RUU
Relocked Bootloader
S-On
I got through everything successfully, except I can't get SuperSU permanently removed now. The in-app remove thing doesn't work and the Universal Unroot app didn't work. I Googled furiously and found things like this (part 2) and this, but nothing is working.
Is there anything else I can try?

I had this same problem man. I first had to run Dottats 4.4.4 RUU that was rooted, reset all flags and them run his non rooted RUU. I didin't s-on as I still wanted the option to mod my device if I changed my mind about complete stock later, but according to the thread you should still be able to RUU. This completely got rid of SU for me.
