Fixed Nexus but Cannot Root

Got my phone back from HTC with power button repaired. Happy days. Or so i thought...
Now I have stock 2.3.4 GRJ22 installed, and want to root so I can get back to CM7. However I don't want to unlock the bootloader.
I've tried downloading previous PASSIMG and trying to flash them to downgrade to exploitable versions.
However all I keep getting is failed, main version is older.
It would seem to be impossible to accomplish at this point in time. Any suggestions (apart from unlocking the bootloader)??

To be honest, it was nice not having to jump through loops to get the phone rooted. I just did the fastboot OEM unlock. Then flash your custom recovery then flash the rom of your choice. I am way out of warranty so unlocking the bootloader was nice. Regarding your issue, I have no idea.

Yes it's tempting to unlock the bootloader. However I still have warranty and don't want to muddy the waters in that respect.
Do I have no other choice than to sit and wait for a new exploit then?

Cheers for the reply . I did try that one last night, but still got the error message. Will try it again later when I'm on wifi just to be doubly sure.
If anyone else has more suggestions then please let me know

Tried that version again, but no joy. Still getting the error main version is newer. Damn!

I didn't read through that thread, but maybe there is even a newer one further in there. Did you see if there were any other links in that thread?

Hmm, looks like that won't work.
My phone which has GRJ22 2.3.4 is MainVer: 3.10.1700.1
The passimg on that thread has MainVer: 2.18.1700.1
I've read the full thread and there's nothing else there.
Thanks for offering the advice nonetheless

Yeah the only choice you have once you are on 3.10.1700.1-GRJ22 is to unlock the bootloader.

You can't update via OTA if you have a custom recovery and rom, you need to go back to stock if you want to do so

I agree with the first reply. Just return it. I completely bricked my first One and took it back to Best Buy. They didn't even turn it on. They just made sure there wasn't a rock in there instead of the phone. LOL
You're good. Just do it. :good:

OK so now I have an OTA update available for my HTC One. When I try to update it takes me to my custom Recovery TWRP. Will this help me to obtain stock status? Also what is the next step after booting into TWRP?? Sorry I am a noob to this but I can hold my own with good instructions. TIA!!

I don't believe the OTA update is going to help you at all. Here's what I would do. The factory RUU (ROM Update Utility) that HTC provides is an executable that you run from your Windows PC (XP preferred). You don't have to load it to the phone - your phone just has to be connected.
A couple questions before we begin:
1 - Which phone did you get? DEV 64 - AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile?
2 - Do you want to save anything on that phone?
If no to 2, just continue. But if you want to save anything you'll need to use either Titanium Backup or Go Backup & Restore Pro (my favorite). Back up to the cloud or copy your backed up items off your phone if you wish to keep them because you're about to wipe it clean.
You can find the RUU for the DEV unit here - http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads. You may need to register at htcdev.com to access this page. But here you'll find a list of downloads - some are CRC (kernel source code) and one is RUU (WWE stands for World Wide Edition). Download that to your PC.
Not sure if this is necessary, but I would boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset my phone. This will erase anything that you have on it. I'd also wipe the cache and davlik.
Next once the RUU is downloaded and you're sure you've backed up EVERYTHING you want to keep, double click on the RUU. It should be cake from there. It'll restore your One back to factory standards and you should be able to send this puppy back.:highfive:

Also, if you bought the unlocked version from HTC like I did then you're fine with having it factory unlocked with an unlocked bootloader. You don't need to re-lock that.
By the way, here's a graphic of the file you'll want to download and run on your computer when you're ready to restore the phone.

Ok, I don't think so. Sorry. The RUU appears to be for the Dev edition only. That was the mistake I made and I completely hosed my previous phone. I see the one that you bought here: http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41589
Until HTC releases an RUU for that device we can't go that route.
The only other route would be to flash the stock ROM to your phone at the link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
Follow the instructions. You'll end up adb flashing the stock boot.img and stock recovery back to your phone. Those files are discussed in the first post.
It's a little more work, but this is the kind of stuff that I love staying up late for. Good luck and sorry we couldn't do it with an RUU.
:fingers-crossed:
Let us know how you make out with this.

I meant AT&T. Shoot.
I have Tampered/Relocked/Security Warning on the phone atm. I though I downgraded the boot.img right but then decided just to reflash the stock RUU. I guess I'll reach out to him then.

For AT&T you can grab the RUU straight from HTC's support site.

I must have missed it then

You only need the old boot.img. Apply the latest RUU and then fastboot flash the boot.img from the first OTA.

Got it. I was thinking of you using it to flash CWM which seems to be better compatible with the ROM zips:
http://androidfiles.org/?developer=MystUL&folder=Stock_Roms
after the ROM is installed you can flash back to TWRP, if desired.

[Q] bootloop/no service Sprint HTC One

Before I did anything I updated to the newest firmware. Then using twrp I created back ups and transfured them to my computer. I flash the Android Rev 4.3 not knowing it was GSM only. The phone never would go past the boot loader. So i restored from my twrp back up. All of my stuff came back but I had no service and after about a min the phone would reboot it self. So i did the factory wipe and have been trying to get a rom to flash since then. I was finally able to get one to load today but i still have the same no service/reboot issue, however now i can't access the menu. When i swipe up it just says HTC till it reboots it self.
I have resorted to using ADB to load roms I have even used super wipe with no changes. I'm out of ideas here.

Please forgive me as my flashing back to stock experience goes back to my Motorola Photon days. If I soft-bricked my device I would SBF (Motorola's RUU) back. Any version would work. Once I had the device reloaded I would then re-unlock and try again with my favorite choice of ROM.
Honestly at this point what do you have to lose? I would try any and all RUU's to try and un-brick your phone.

All you need is to flash a radio bro. If your phone comes on with no service it's missing a radio at boot. Just go to recovery, hit advanced, hit adb sideload with phone connected open command window with platform tools and type adb sideload (radio name) and hit enter. No parenthesis.

If the device can't be s-off'ed then how do you flash radio.img file? Doesn't it say signature verifying failed? How do you overcome that? (using fastboot)
Or directly using the radios from here http://www.mofirouz.com/wordpress/2011/03/htc-desire-radios/ in recovery mode, but these zips don't have the update-binary and are not up to date with the edify script. How do you create update-binary for each zip then? Or where from do you get latest radios?

Rumrunner has a bug that it modifies the radio of your phone and because of that, on hboot you get vibrations due to buggy radio...There is a clear instruction stating this error/bug on their official website...
This is an unrecoverable state, also mentioned on their website...I guess, you would have to live with it now...

Yes, living with it. Need developer for later works/mods? PM.

Check the General Forum for S-OFF .... Rumrunner exploited for Desire C but be warned that if you are on HBOOT 1.31.xxx it may not reboot....
Looking into it to get 1.31.xxx working.
The multiple vibrations are still present and warned of, must be a side effect of the exploit.

Works fine with 1.31
Clear some space on the PC and start a comparison between S-ON/S-OFF RADIOS but I'm willing to bet it's at a lower level than the RADIO that causes the 7 vibrations on Boot.
My thoughts are it's to do with cfg data and gpio pins on boot that secures the MSM chip :what:
