Ive tried everything from factory reset to rebooting to removing the battery, I dont understand why my HTC Hero is in safe mode i havent downloaded any apps all i have done is tried to root my phone. I followed all the steps and got all the way to the "UNREVOKED" in the command prompt but i didnt get the "superuser permission" app in my app tray and im thinking its because the phone is in safe mode, anyone got answers about this that could help me out?
Mine was in safe mode after rooting 2.1 as well. I rebooted and it went back to normal. Then again, I notice that you haven't gained root yet. Running Unrevoked should have installed the SU app. If it didn't, I would try running the program again. Other than that, you haven't done anything that will corrupt the system, so I would still reboot and try the whole process again.
Im trying to root it now and everytime i go through the process im not getting the SU app in my app tray, anything you can think of that im missing?

if your not gonna help me than don't bother posting anything, im knew to this and was just looking for help.
Hi guys, successful root (used regaw's guide), installed darchdroid v2.8, now i'm having problems. I stumbled accross the DS updater app that came with this rom, thought it was going to update my custom rom but seemed like it put me back with htc sense?? I did a nandroid restore but seems like since I messed with it I've lost root access? My wifi tether isn't working anymore, keeps saying unable to start tethering please try again. I decided I was going to start over and run the RUU supplied in regaw's thread, re-root, and re-flash the rom. Whenever I try and run the RUU I keep getting a "ERROR [107]: USB CONNECTION ERROR." Sorry if this in the wrong place or already been discussed. Any ideas? Help?
Run the RUU again while the phone is frozen like that.

Keep getting 2.2.1 updates after root. How can this be stopped? Its annoying to keep rooting only to get the system updates again and again. I'm rooting with a signed fr91 file. Any way to stop this?

Upgrade to 2.2.1 frg83 then use the one click super root to root 2.2.1 you won't get the update any more u can find it in nexus wiki
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Download 'Quick Boot' from the market and use it to reboot the phone. Then, clear the update notification from the notification menu. The update message should go away for a while (mine lasted a week before it came back).
I'm still somewhat hesitant to upgrade to FRG83 and use SuperOneClick since some people in the thread are reporting problems. I love my phone how it is right now!

Are you and Memnoch30 referring to the post you laid out in another thread? I'm pretty sure you wrote detailed instructions on how to do the manual rage root using adb. Will this method work fine if all I want is to run stock 2.2.1 with root-requiring apps like setcpu and move2sd enabler? Sorry for being such a noob

Yes: Instructions
But read the whole thread to make sure you know what you are doing!!
Any other options? I'm not going to fr83 and unfamiliar with rage root.

Why don't you install a custom rom and be done with it.

I just installed 2.2.1 and used the SuperOneClick method to root the phone again. I had to turn the phone off, run the program, and then boot the phone for it to work. I suggest you try this method. It couldn't be much simpler.
Now i keep getting the new firmware update message and i cant seem to turn it off even with the quickboot. Any ideas?
Install the update, root again. Now really, this "idea" is 1 message above yours - what made you post?
Hm i tried to update but failed, could be due to tampering of the build number that I did previously but after that it didn't bug me anymore, at least not for now. Will try the superoneclick one next time. Thanks.
It might be back in several days, but if you've tampered with the system and advanced the build number - it shouldn't appear anymore.
yeah i sure hope so. will know in a few days
USE FROYO RUU TO GO TO STOCK FROYO AND USE UNREVOKED TO ROOT PHONE AGAIN
*I HAVE NOT tried this with an S-ON incredible yet. You can use this to root your device if you want to wipe everything clean and start over, OR you could return to stock and receive the OTA update then stay with stock.*
So for some reason I unrooted my phone and wanted to receive the newest OTA from Verizon to check it out. Well it turns out that I missed rooting. So I had S-OFF on my phone, but the stock android 2.3.4 and sense 1.0 image. To get back to stock froyo and later use unrevoked i did this...
1. Download this... (http://dev-host.org/hhfe0ddz0igb/RU...4k_NV_1.70_PRL58006_release_152016_signed.exe) and save somewhere on your COMPUTER.
2. Plug phone into computer.
3. Run this file on your computer and follow on screen instructions. ***CAUTION: This will erase all data on phone and I would advise you to backup your sd card contents on a folder on your computer!***
4. When it says complete, it will appear that it is in a bootloop, hold on
5. Remove battery and go to hboot (volume down button + power button)
6. Select factory reset and let it do its thing.
7. Once that is over, you will need to activate the device so follow the instructions on your phone.
8. BOOM! now you have a stock froyo, unrooted device.... now what.
9. In case you forgot... download unrevoked (http://unrevoked.com/#inc)
10. Follow these preliminary instructions as well if you are on windows (http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install)
11. Run unrevoked and well congrats..... youre rooted!!! FLASH AWAY!!
Great
I just completed the "downgrade to 2.2 using unrevoked 3.22". This would have been much easier. At least I had a learning opportunity.

Confused, did you have s off or s on when you did this?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
The reason I ask is if you were already S off all you needed to regain root was to flash su and clockwork recovery thru hboot. If you were S on the downgrade with a ruu would not have worked. Did I miss something on your situation?

I have not tried it using an S-ON phone.. whomever uses this technique can re-root that way or return to stock the same way, receiving the OTA updates shortly after setting it up.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Ok, so would it be more appropiate to be titled easy root with s off? AFAIK the downgrade method with two versions of unrevoked is the only method to obtain root with 2.3.4 and s on.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
I'm confused... the title says S-ON and your post says S-OFF.
edit: Sorry, had the page loaded from earlier today and didn't see the other posts till now
Okay, so before i go ahead and post this, I'm well aware of where i should be posting it, but i'm apparently a new member and therefore cannot post in the HTC One Development section.
I'm using the T-Mobile HTC One (M7_ul) and i wanted to convert into the Google Play Edition. I took the OTA update from t-mobile that bumped me up to 1.27.531.11, and it took me about an hour to realize that t-mobile decided to block all ways to s-off with that update, and that i would somehow have to get back to .8. My bootloader is unlocked, with TWRP 2.5.0.0. and root. I flashed the Stock Sense 5 1.27.531.8 rom (although rather buggy, i keep getting errors with the phone program abruptly stopping, but its not an issue seeing as im not staying with this rom). Im under the assumption that if i did that, as long as my hboot was still 1.44, i'd be able to use Moonshine or revone to s-off. I tried both, and neither of them were a go. I keep getting an Error-2 with revone, and moonshine gets to Moonshining (10) and then says Error: dont drink and shine. Now i'm not a complete noob when it comes to unlocking and rooting HTC devices, but ive never decided to take that extra step to s-off. everytime i think i have it right, moonshine and revone give me errors. would someone please tell me what im doing wrong, or at least point me in the right direction? please?
Your phone was updated to .11 it's more than just the Rom that was updated, you just gotta wait. I do too my phone came with .11.

I see. so if i'm understanding you correctly, I can't just flash the .8 rom and do s-off, T-Mobile patched it and im screwed?
Yeah that's it, I've read that one person has got it to work but idk if they actually took the ota or not. There would be a workaround if we had an RUU for .7 or .8 but we don't. So I guess we just gotta wait for someone to figure something out.

that's why you can't, you should not have posted in dev section (and not here either but in Q&A) anyway did you try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398717
You could use HTC dev unlock until then though, just reset everything when s-off does come? That's what I've done and I'll just use s-off to make it look like nothing when (hopefully) it comes around again

This post seems to have eluded me. It doesn't matter at this point, because there's no link in the post for a T-Mobile RUU

I'm unlocked already, I'd just really rather convert completely to the GPE using the mid/cid change method, so if HTC decides to upgrade the One to KLP when its released, I won't have to go back to stock Sense 5 to get the OTA

ask (in the thread not via pm)the author of that guide if flasking a firmware package + stock rom would do and what other steps you would need to take
you can find the firmware packages here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355814
It says in the op that the firmware zips are unsigned, which means I would have to be S-off to flash them.

those firmwares in that thread are official and signed, so that's why I think you could have a chance of getting it working
Ok I see the signed link now. I have a job interview but when I get back I'll give it a shot and post my results. Fingers crossed!

so updating all you fellas, no method i tried worked I managed to find a stable rom for 1.27.531.7. my thought process was to flash to .7, unroot, reflash stock recovery, relock the bootloader, and try to install the .8 OTA. Didnt work. I tried to bypass, got the OTA .zip from my storage, rebootRUU and flash the OTA firmware. Didnt work either. The progress bar hung at about 75%(i tried this 6 times, same result). so i unlocked the bootloader again, reflashed twrp 2.5.0.0 and had planned on just restoring the nan i made. I didnt realize that when you flash a RUU, even if it doesnt finish, it still formats your /sd/data, so backup was gone, by this point i had already done the wipe expecting it to be there, so through all this, i ended up stuck in twrp with no OS, and for some reason the ADB sideload feature didnt work so i couldnt push a .zip to the phone. after an hour and a half of frantically searching, i just decided to run the .11 official RUU, so after 14 hours, im back to where i started. Wayyyyy more trouble than its worth. just gonna flash a stock rooted 4.3 GPE rom, and when HTC and T-Mobile decide to stop screwing around and push the 4.2.2 update, ill just reflash the RUU.
Thanks for all the help, gents.

Dude, you were doing some serious stuff to your phone, you have to slow down a little. I recommend reading as much as you can before you attempt anything you just did. The reason I am saying this is that, when flashing firmware, the progress bar always sticks at about 75%, that is normal, then you reboot and it finishes the install. You probably got that firmware from the OTA you're talking about installed and didn't know it.

I let it reboot completely about 5 times, and checked the fw version each time. i promise you i didnt get it. I know the bar hanging on the OTA is normal, i had plenty of learning experience with that on the One V
