Gain root access on the latest 1.55.531.3 update, ONLY IF you are S-OFF

I found out that it is possible to gain root access in an 'unrootable' update, IF you are S-OFF, by flashing ClockworkMod thru the bootloader, and then flashing Superuser thru ClockworkMod. I found out that this worked on the G2, as described here by rdmerck:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206930
So all i did was replace the android_info.txt and the recovery.img in his zip, with the ones for our device. I just tried it, and it worked! i have Superuser access in the new 1.55.531.3 ROM.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Pretty simple...
1. Download the 2 attached files, put them both on the root of your sdcard, and rename the CWM_HBOOT.zip to PG59IMG.zip.
2. Boot into the bootloader however you prefer, let it read the PG59IMG.zip, and press volume up to update when prompted. When it finishes, it will prompt you to press Power to reboot.
3. Now boot into recovery however you prefer, and it should be ClockworkMod(I used the Modaco 4.0.0.9 version, basically because i had it conveniently lying around in .img format. I'm sure Rom Manager could now be used to flash the latest 5.0.2.7 version of CWM). Choose 'install from sdcard', then 'choose zip from sdcard', then choose the Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip and choose 'yes'. As has happened in the past, i had to flash it 3 times until it successfully installed. But it did work.
4. Choose to reboot, and enjoy root access on the latest stock ROM!
I figure a lot of people probably won't need all that instruction, but i included it for people who are newer to flashing stuff thru the HBOOT and CWM. I also figure that the user base for this will probably be very small, as most folks who are S-OFF probably are not choosing to run the stock ROM. But anyway, if you DO have S-OFF, i wanted you to know that you can have root access on the latest update. I figure this will also enable us to make nandroid images of the new ROM, if that would help development at all.
Anyway, here are the 2 files:
ClockworkMod: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18474790/CWM_HBOOT.zip
Superuser: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18474790/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip
Note:
-This worked for me and should work for you, but use at your own risk.
-You must be S-OFF to do this.
-Hopefully this is only a temporary solution for those with S-OFF, until either Team Revolutionary cracks the update, or HTCDEV fixes whatever is preventing their bootloader unlocker tool from working on our device.

HTC Supertools has been out for a while. IDK, I got S-Off and Root on my Brothers DS. I got S-Off first, then ran the root exploit.

Yeah man, sounds good. I mean, perhaps this will be helpful to at least a few people, lol. It's an interesting and very simple idea tho... probably useful mainly on stock HBOOTs where fastboot is blocked, but S-OFF had been attained.

how do i upgrade to the latest OTA if i'm already on a rooted stock ROM?

Well, since nobody has made a custom rom with the latest OTA bits, you will have to do what I did:
You'll need to downgrade yourself with the stock PG59IMG.zip, putting that file (found here) on the root of your sdcard and booting into the bootloader.
That will basically return your phone to stock and, IIRC, revert your status to S-OFF Locked. Then you'll need to boot up and check for system updates. You'll definitely be given the first small OTA update, but you very likely wont receive the latest OTA update via system updates.
For that you'll need to download it (from here) and flash it through the stock recovery. Once you've done that you can use the instructions in this thread to re-flash clockworkmod recovery and re-root.
Your phone will still be S-OFF but you'll have a locked bootloader.

Still can't figure out what I need to do to root my phone. That's on hboot 1.45.0013
Guess I might have to wait til Revo find a fix for it.

Since you're S-OFF, you could flash ClockworkMod on the update and then flash a custom ROM, but I believe that would leave you with an old ROM and the new radio, which seems to have caused issues for people. Since there aren't yet any custom ROMs based on the latest update, you should probably stay where you are if you want a custom ROM. But if you do install the update, you would still be able to downgrade and get back to where you are now.

Wonder how long it will/could be before revo crack the current HBOOT

You could run this ROM, which is based on the latest OTA release from HTC, so no OTA updates are needed. It is optimized, deodexed, and tweaked just a tad. I use it as my daily driver with great success. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12063-devrom12192011-stock-12853110-r2-deodexed-crtgpu/

I think possibly we've been thru this before, lol, but that ROM isn't the very latest... there has been a pretty big update since then that thus far is only available as an official OTA update package.

How to upgrade to new latest Asus firmware through custom recovery

Check the device firmware type by going to Setting - about tablet - built number
Download the right firmware pack for your device.
http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_Infinity_TF700T/#download
Now extract the zip file and you will have another zip file.
Rename that zip file as "EP201_768_SDUPDATE" and place it to an external sd card if you do not have a custom recovery. If you are rooted and unlocked plus you have a custom recovery you don't need to rename it you can place it in internal sd is well.
Now turn off your device. Hold power button including the volume down button and enter custom recovery. For stock recovery it should detect it automatically and will install. once in custom recovery clear your cache and install the file with the name above or whatever name you have. once installation is complete. reboot the system be patient and you have the latest update.
You can obtain root easily using this method.
Just download the DebugfsRoot_Generic_v2.3.zip file from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1706588
extract the content and run RootDebugfs, then follow the on screen instruction and you will have root.
Make sure you have USB debugging on.
To get custom recovery. Download goomanager from playstore and you can install TWRP recovery from the option list. which is Option - install OpenRecoveryScript.
I am not responsible if you mess up your device. do these at your own risk. Nonetheless these steps work perfectly for me.

Renaming is not needed.

Wrong, flashing an official rom will make you loose the custom recover too, you will have a clean stock rom once you do that. AND also this thread has nothing to share with the development forum.

Where in there? Can;t find it?
1) If I am on a custom ROM can I flash the new update or I have to go back to STOCK first?
2) What's the big deal with loosing CWR and Root, it takes like 2 min to put it back, I mean there is another way to not loose it?
Thanks

I also have a question! Will this allow for OTA updates even if our bootloader is unlocked? And will we be able to flash the JB update from ASUS manually if not? Anyone know?

No. when you unlocked it clearly stated no more ota updates for you.
Yes. of course you can flash manually just like any other rom.

You don't need to have stock rom. As long as you have the stock kernel your ok. You will of course lose custom recovery but its easy to download again as i have mentioned in my first post.
There is a lengthy way to do this. But why do that when it takes you literally 2 minute to root it with DebugfsRoot .
Hope it went well for you.

Its easy, it requires ADB drivers instaled in PC and ADB commands to execute.
So, in TWRP you make a full WIPE, format data also.
Then you reboot recovery and over advanced you activate adb sideload.
Then connect phone to PC and send the zip file with command:
adb sideload name_of_the_rom.zip
Then just wait ADB send file to phone and then Recovery start flash of ROM .

With TWRP it works, i tested, other Recovery i dont know if they have sideload option.
Relative to OTA yes, with stock recovery you can have OTA. But i dont have stock recovery from this one since dump dont contain firmware.zip
Dont know if firmware.zip from 2.24.709.1 it will do the trick, but sincerelly i dont wait from OTA updates, its a loss of time

Another thing, you must unlock bootloader to flash TWRP.
If needed you can have S-OFF and flash latest RUU x.xx.401.x and you are good to GO.
Cheers

Would this work with T-Mobile/AT&T versions?
Also sideloading doesn't touch the "sdcard" content right. We would just need to do a factory reset.

Sideload dont touch anything over sdcard but if you are in 4.1.2 base a wipe data / factory reset and a format sdcard its advised....

[RUU] [OTA] T-Mobile US Android 4.3 OTA (3.24.531.3) w/ Nandroid, Firmware & Radio
T-Mobile USA OTA to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
Build: 3.24.531.3
Android 4.3, Sense 5.0
* includes Wi-Fi Calling​
This is the actual OTA Zip file that is downloaded and then flashed during the update process. I saw that T-Mobile's instructions tell users they must check through their phone, and are not providing a download link.
I extracted it off of my phone's SD Card before I updated, so it is untouched, it comes as T-Mobile distributed it.
DISCLAIMER
I am sharing this so everyone can have access to the official OTA. What you do with it from here is not my responsibility, nor do I care. Enjoy. I am not claiming ownership, nor am I claiming this will be much help by itself.
Update 10/23
The community has spoken, and this has brought a lot of stock options for the end user. As of 10/23 (today), we now have the OTA, a full Nandroid TWRP backup, two versions of the firmware, the radio only and now the RUU itself. The OP has been fully updated with links and credits to everything. Thank you to the Android community, this thread is a pretty great example of open source and people coming together with end products. Thanks for all the help here as well.

So after hours of searching through the forums, I just wanted to clarify a couple of questions.
I have S-Off and unlocked bootloader but Stock Rom - NOT rooted and stock recovery. I also have the original MID/CID - 0713000 / T-MOB010.
I can still get the latest OTA - 3.24.531.3? The only requirement for the OTA is CID/ MID, stock recovery and stock ROM, correct?
Also, If I go ahead update it, My HBOOT will be updated to 1.54 and Bootloader will be locked but I still will retain s-OFF, correct?
And the only way in future to flash a custom ROM is via, htcdev bootloader unlock?
Thank You!!

I am pretty sure you need to relock the bootloader, and have stock recovery. AFAIK those are the requirements. HBOOT may be 1.55 as that is the latest but you SHOULD still keep s-off. But i make no promises. lol But yes, you will have to go to HTCDEV and get your unlock key again if you wantt o flash another rom (its a really easy process though)

Anyways to get a nandroid or to pull /system on an installed update.

I'm currently on a custom 4.2.2 ROM with Firmware 2.24.401.1, HBOOT 1.54, S-OFF, Super CID, and TWRP 2.6 bootloader on T-Mobile HTC One.
What is the process to upgrade to this OTA? Or is there a better to go to latest base, firmware, etc.?

I was on a rooted stock TMo ROM in order to get the update. However, i kept my Bootloader unlocked S-OFF, and I was rooted. Only thing really required is the stock odexed 4.1.2 ROM and the Stoxk boot and Recovery. SOFF doesnt matter, for me it didnt.
I was on Viper 4.2.2. I restored a nandroid of my stock 4.1.2 rooted, and all I then did was flash TMO stock recovery in fastboot.

The OTA doesn't help developers, they need the patched APK's after the OTA is installed.

I was answering someone's question about if they need the bootloader relocked or not.
As far as the devs go, now they've got the OTA and can do whatever they or anyone else wants with it. Its not really a crime to share.

Thanks for the upload. Question, to flash this, its just like flashing a firmware update, with the silver HTC on the screen? Pushed through ADB?

I'm currently on a custom 4.2.2 ROM with Firmware 2.24.401.1, HBOOT 1.54, S-OFF, Super CID, and TWRP 2.6 bootloader on T-Mobile HTC One.
What is the process to upgrade to this OTA? Or is there a better to go to latest base, firmware, etc.?

1. Restore nandroid backup for stock 4.1.2
2. Make sure boot.img and recovery.img are from stock T-Mobile.
3. Get OTA
OR
Download and install the stock T-Mobile ODEX ROM. Flash the ROM, doesnt matter if its rooted or not. Make sure it has stock recovery and boot images. And you can get OTA.

Said by a developer
"ota is just a patch, patches the existing files, with new code, there isn't a whole apk there. is useless unless you have a phone to apply patch on and then pull system"
that's why I was asking. No ROM can include stuff like Wi-Fi calling without the patched APK's.

i noticed this is a higher build number compared to the att 4.3 version

Once again, i completely get this and for someone who wants to provide a full system dump would be great. But im not wiping yet, so i cant do that. Also, the OTA file contains an encrypted firmware.zip file which is completely independent of the patched apks. That's why Mikey posted the Radio. This is the whole reason I gave it to the community.
Anyway, im done. Im not trying to argue about some stupid OTA. If you don't want it, then don't download it.

So, I noticed a problem on 4.3 when trying to boot a recovery in fastboot. According to the following thread, Android 4.3 bootloader has changed the function of this fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery_twrp.img
Reference URL of same solved issue on N4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380675
Now, we have to retrigger the command somehow inputting the right information in. When i ran the regular command, it says downloading ...OK and goes through the regular steps, but the phone hangs on the bootloader screen.
It never actually loads the custom recovery, just completely freezes the bootloader. I tried a couple different recoveries (CWM, TWRP) and they just don't do anything except lock up the phone.
I want to preserve my stock partitions and make a backup. I plan to go back to my 4.1.2 and perform the update, then load it and wipe so i can provide the stock nandroid backup for full throttle development. So if anyone knows the current command to boot a custom recovery in fastboot on 4.3, let me know.

You ran this one correct,
Code:
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot twrp.img
because that's the only solution I've seen so far, I'll try to look further.

New update for boost k2 cl

Downloaded the new ota for boost. I am s-off with unlocked boot loader and installed twrp. Do I need to go back to stock recovery and relock to install? Thanks

i get the same thing, guess I will wait and see what they say.....

@banderz777 and @biga1, If you are S-Off you do not need to relock the bootloader. If you are S-On then you must relock the bootloader. You will need to flash your stock recovery to proceed with the OTA, then after it finishes you may flash back your TWRP recovery.

I don't have stock recovery for jb 422 , where can I find it....

Inside the original 4.2.2 OTA zip will be another zip called, firmware. Unzip firmware.zip and you will find your stock recovery.

@ biga1 are you S-OFF or S-ON ?, or just try locking your bootloader and see, you do still have the unlock bin from HTC.

@Modding.MyMind I am S-OFF. I do NOT have my unlock bin from HTC anymore :crying:

The OTA is applying a lot of patches to your system directory. It is always recommended that you have all apps whether bloatware or not which originally came on the device to insure the OTA doesn't abort. If what the OTA is updating isn't found on your phone then it will terminate. You can get another unlock_code.bin by simply redoing the steps again over at htcdev.

ahhhh. that makes sense. my phone is far from stock now and been debloated. I have my original stock backup that I can reinstall but is this ota update going to make a big difference? Thanks for all the help

I haven't accepted the update yet. Been reviewing the patches before I accept it. Also weary about the hboot image inside the firmware.zip that comes with the OTA. Not sure what affects it may have so I am snooping around a bit.

Ok. I feel better. You have been my barometer for this device. Thanks for all your support for the boost users.

Has anyone flashed the latest ota with success? And if so are there any notable improvements? Thanks

I haven't yet simply because my core.odex file is modified which will cause it to abort. But, I have mainly seen complaints about the OTA and nothing otherwise.

I've updated....nothing special.....no complaints about it here......but nothing new either
