[HBOOT][RUU] Here is the unlockable HBOOT from HTC Dev

This is the latest hboot from HTC for the DINC that allows the bootloader to be OEM unlocked.
HBOOT 1.02.0000
1. Enable usb debugging
2. Run RUU(make sure to use the HTC drivers or RUU wont work)
3. Use htc dev process to oem unlock bootloader
4. Enjoy pwnage of ur DINC
P.S. I have attached the PB31IMG.zip for those who dont kno how to RUU

Question (anyone)?
If you are already S-off, rooted, and using the .92 bootloader, will flashing the zip cause a loss of S-off, or any other disasters?
Considering giving it a shot, but don't want to spend the evening rerooting or getting into something I can't get back out of.
Input welcome...
sorry...I was on the phone

No. I did that and was fine. I used the PB31IMG.zip

OK flashed it fine. Now, I see that the unlocking process wipes the phone clean. Will I still be able to boot into CWM recovery and restore a nand backup? Or will I have to reflash CWM 5.0.2.0?
Edit: I'll still be S-off, right?

Actually I think the wipe process with unlocking fails if you're on CWM. I didn't lose CWM or data when I did it.
Yes. I still am S-OFF when I did it rooted.
But you may not need this unlocked bootloader as you can already flash radios and recoveries from the bootloader (HBOOT) and kernels, ROMs and recoveries from CWM with s-off alone.
I got it just so I could use fastboot to flash kernels which if you flash with fastboot on this device you may need to still manually push the corresponding wifi module if the version string changes - not necessarily each time you switch kernels either. For my gingersense kernels that would only be if you switch between gingertiny 2.6.35.10, gingertiny-v2 2.6.35.13 and gingertiny-2.6.35.14. For incredikernel that may be quite different.
Sorry, I'm rambiling and should be asleep but just so hyper.

Yeah, I know it wasn't needed. But I felt it had to be done. Anyhow, something got wiped, cause it hung on the boot screen forever. Finally pulled the battery, booted into recovery, and restored my fresh backup. 1.02 bootloader, unlocked, and up and running again.
Thanks for all the help. I see you edited your post about the same time I was banging away in command prompt. All my SDK tools were scattered around and needed updating, which stretched it out. Once again, that feeling you get when something works despite your best efforts.
Thanks+
After a gut-wrencher like that, some sleep sounds good.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread in which to post but I'm getting pretty confused. I have an HTC incredible I just received with S-Off
It says:

I am in fastboot usb, but I cannot flash the cwm 5.0.2.0 img,
I try fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-inc.img and receive the error:

sending 'recovery' (3064 KB)
OKAY [ 0.494s]
writing 'recovery'...

Does this mean that I don't have root access, even though I am S-off?

Not sure about flashing a newer recovery through fastboot.....but you can also download rom manager from the market and update your cwm that way....

The Bootloader
can you update the hboot while running a custom rom without bricking.

How are you trying to flash it? You just take this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip, and place it on your sdcard in no folders. Then boot to hboot and wait a few secs. It should automaticly find the file and prompt you to press vol up to update.
Fastboot flashing images wont work unless your bootloader in unlocked.
Edit: Didnt realize this post was so old.

Yes you can as long as your s-off. This thread is actually old and a newer version hboot 1.07
DOWNLOAD: http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip
MD5: http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip.md5 has been released. However if your s-off there is no need to update, as you can already flash thru hboot. The only advantage is being able to fastboot flash imgs.
If you s-on the only way to update is to do an ruu, which will wipe the phone and require you to reroot and flash a backup.

Oh really? s-off users can simply flash the new HBOOT in HBOOT then do the unlocking process on HTC-Dev?
That unlocks and keeps s-off?

You can get the md5 by adding .md5 to the download url. ( http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip.md5 ) All files on dinc.does-it.net have an md5.

Yeah.. I feel the same way! I was just confused since I didn't see the md5 posted. I wondered what I was missing.

So I kno its so late but I'd rather be sure than sorry lol...I can flash hboot 1.07(or what ever it is) and have both s-off and be unlocked? I thought you could only have one at a time? Someone help plz
Sent from my rooted GameBoy Advance! ^¬^

Yeah. Get S-OFF first if you haven't already. Then flash the latest HBOOT. You'll still have S-OFF after that. Then just unlock the bootloader on htcdev.com according to their directions.
Viola! S-OFF and unlocked bootloader.

Thanks will do!

[Request] HTC Raider Rogers ICS RUU

I think I may have soft bricked my HTC Raider.
I was attempting to flash CM9 on my HTC. I followed the pre-flash procedures (Wiping Data, etc). Then, once it was complete, I rebooted the phone. The phone could not get past the CM9 Blue Tunnel animation. I left it there for about an hour, but nothing happened. I can still access my recovery and bootloader. I have tried flashing another ROM, as well as restoring a Nandroid backup I made, but they all lead to the white HTC screen. My Raider has S-ON.
User MzzSarahx3 had an extremely similar case, except that person had an AT&T Vivid, as seen here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836&page=51
MzzSarahx3 managed to fix the problem by running an RUU, so that is why I believe I can fix my situation by doing the same. I am aware of the RUU Collection that Football uploaded, but clicking on a link on FileFactory will give me an error saying that all download slots are in use.
So could somebody please link me, or upload, an ICS RUU for the HTC Raider on Rogers? Help would be much appreciated.

I have been clicking on that link since this morning. And it still gives me the same message. I will continue to check, though.
Does anyone have an alternate solution?

The stock Bell ICS RUU should work fine on your Rogers Raider. ( I have a Bell Raider but installed it on my buddy's Rogers Raider).
I'm uploading the stock Bell ICS RUU to Depositfiles right now but its gonna take an hour. I'll update my post with the link when it's done.
You can probably find the stock Bell ICS RUU on various threads in the forum. I believe that's where I got it from originally.
Note that if you have unlocked your bootloader (via htcdev), the stock RUU will refuse to install !

Umm, well I downloaded the RUU file you kindly uploaded, but I have encountered a problem.

I have tried many times. Got this error every time. I guess it is because I have a Rogers phone and attempting to update using a Bell RUU.
Any suggestions?

Damn... I don't remember having to do that for my buddy's Rogers Raider. Sorry.. it was some time ago.
He's here so I just checked his phone... we must have put in the SuperCID back then (which may accept any RUU?)
C:\Users\Master>fastboot getvar cid

finished. total time: 0.000s
and I ran mine (actual Bell Raider).:
C:\Users\Master>fastboot getvar cid

Feeling adventurous? I'm not sure if you need to be S-OFF to do this (or have unlocked bootloader, or even both) but...
You can change the CID via fastboot.
Fastboot commands that you can do: (thank you jmone from showpost.php?p=25187040&postcount=199)
(to check your current CID - write it down?)
fastboot getvar cid
(to write a new CID to the phone)
fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (where the 11111111 contains the CID you want - you can try the 11111111 (is that known as SuperCID?) or you can try mine, which is BM___001 as specified above)
(then reboot into bootloader mode)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
(then if it reboots back into fastboot mode, you can run this to verify your desired CID made it)
fastboot getvar cid
Then maybe the RUU will allow itself to install?

Ahhh.. so you need to be S-OFF it seems. The S-OFF procedure isn't super easy, but it's nice to have (because with S-OFF, the custom roms you install will be able to automatically flash their kernel. With S-ON, to run a custom rom, you need to flash the kernel separately... not a huge deal, but having S-OFF is convenient if you like to try different custom roms). To S-OFF, you have to be willing to void your phone's warranty.
Theres gotta be the Roger RUU out there somewhere (that is ICS). I have the Rogers Gingerbread RUU... but I think it will only work if you havent upgraded your phone to ICS yet...

Amazing! Glad it worked out. Thanks for that link. I'll be archiving a copy of that Rogers RUU.
As for why your phone wouldnt boot with CM9... Is CM9 still in development? Maybe you should try a different ROM.
I'm using Pegasus right now and enjoying it. (As per kozmik I did have to do an extra step to get my LTE going, but it was pretty easy).
Remember to do a backup and your 4 wipes (data, cache, dalvik,and /system) before you install the rom, of course!

OK, thanks for the tips and the ROM suggestion.
I'll try Pegasus next.

Before Ii do this thing I just want a confirmation.
I received my bell incredible s with s-off via unknown means.
Every thing I read assumes you have s-on and goes through the steps fro there.
I gather I do not need to go to htcdev.com/bootloader. to unlock the bootloader.
do I still need to install revolutionary, or will I be able to flash roms without that?

+1 The 4ext recovery app on google play will download either the touch version or the classic version (your choice here) for you. With its installation is download and the flashing process so its really simple but I still prefer to do things the manual way

From all I read I need either s-off OR unlocked bootloader, not both.
Also the app says it needs root to work, something i can not do until I flash a recovery, and I do not see any way of installing 4ext before root.
please correct me if I am wrong for others that might read this,, because I am a major noob
Anyway, I just went ahead and downloaded and flashed revolutionary from http://revolutionary.io/ , and let it install ClockworkMod.

I think he is asking about what he will need to do if he needs to return to stock for a phone return/exchange.
brockyneo,
Since you are s-off you can reset everything needed before returning the phone if needed.
However since there is no RUU for your device, it will be a little harder than just re-installing a stock rom. Since you flashed a modified hboot you will need to reset all your sytem stuff back like hboot, splash screen, recovery, etc before you can relock the phone so it looks the same as it did out of the box.
I won't go into all the steps needed, but just know if you need to go back to stock there are many threads here that detail how to do so.
Just keep your bootloader unlocked and keep s-off until you need to return/exchange the device.

If you haven't flashed a custom recovery yet, do:
fastboot boot customrecovery.img
And do a backup. This will backup stock ROM and recovery. There is no 3 RUU and probably never will be, I don't know what their deal is..
Then to go back to stock, restore your backup, flash your recovery.img from your backup, change your CID back to original, flash a STOCK hboot, and last use Revone to lock the bootloader and then do s-on.
EDIT : just noticed on another thread you said you were running TrickDroid - disregard my post..

What have you been using to unlock/lock your bootloader? HTC-Dev? This is just a guess - probably wrong, but you may need to ask for a newer unlock token and try again?

You have to go back and request a new token at htcdev.
FYI -once your bootloader is unlocked and you have s-off, KEEP IT THAT WAY. There is not really a reason to keep flipping, only if you need to return/exchange the phone.
Bootloader should not have an effect on ADB sideload. I'm unlocked and I use that all the time. If you have an issue with sideloading or something else, just post about it and someone will help, but you shouldn't need to flip your bootloader.

the only way your phone can turn back to s-on is if you enter the right command manually "fastboot writesecureflag 3"
S-OFF will never turn back to S-ON by itself

Thank you for the quick reply.

running into a problem
First time back with an HTC since the nexus one. so bear with my on the of the HTC exclusive setting, options and what not.
I keep getting an error code "FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)" when i try and flash the ROM, I get the error code in the same spot i would get an error the first time I ran the code. this is a different code than what he said I would get. any direction on what i need to change is greatly appreciated!
Here is the code i get --------------------------------

That might be a corrupted download. Did you try redownloading it?

I may have actually found the problem. This phone is all sorts of messed up, when i got it, it had a custom ROM, (Which was stuck on the HTC Logo), a CWM recovery, but still S-ON.
I have ran firewater and Revone methods to turn S-Off. The first time i ran it is said successful, but I never bothered to confirm.
I got it working and i was able to grant root access to applications but their were reboots ever 1-2 minutes. so i flashed a new ROM.
now, i have a working ROM (still have the random reboots), SuperSU tells me i need to update my binaries, and i still have S-ON.
I am sure they are all related, and my main goal is to get S-OFF, but i don't know how. i should quit messing around with HTC and just stick with what i know, the Nexus phones.

you indeed need s-off to flash this ruu and you'll (maybe) have to change your cid/mid to match the android-info.txt file packed in that ruu.
Achieving s-off on hboot 1.44 is simple:
flash ARHD 31.6 (this rom is pre-rooted and have the correct unsecured kernel for the s-off exploit to work)
Then follow instructions from Revone thread.
when s-off is acheived, confirm that your cid and mid match the android-info.txt file of the ruu (or change CID/MID so they match)
Flash the ruu in RUU mode:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
fastboot reboot
Never s-on and relock bootloader when using GPE

Can I just flash the newest firmware? Or there is a different firmware for gpe?

htc one m7 convert GPE questions.
htc one m7
model pn07100
android 4.3
htc sense 5.0
hboot 1.55
unlocked
I want to convert my m7 to a GPE. before i do anything to my phone ,I have a few questions to ask...
i want to install the RUU-HTC_One_GE-4.4-3.62.1700.1.zip rom (non rooted) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
- does that mean i dont need to root my phone if im flashing the non rooted rom?
- my device is unlocked but in the bootloader is says that its locked in the menu. does that mean i still have to unlock the bootloader? is there a difference between having an unlocked phone and having an unlocked bootloader?
- do i need to install sync manager and install drivers for my phone?
- will i be able to receive updates from google OTA? do i need to flash stock recovery in order to receive OTA updates from google?
- how would i back up my stock rom (android 4.1.2 w/ htc sense 5.0) if i decide to go back.
- after the flash will i have to re-install all my apps?
thanks.

S-off mandatory
Hello, is absolutely essential s-off? If the device is only unlocked bootloader via HTCdev? The procedure will fail completely?

i installed the google play edition for htc one m7 4.4.2 rom. how do i add/remove panels? i dont see any personalize settings in the menu? i've tried a search and no results.

graphic glitches
I have successfully converted my phone to GPE4.4.2 using the exact methods. There is no problem with that. Problem started once I did an OTA to update it with 4.4.3 where there are graphic glitches on the status bar and the bottom part of the screen. Also the power off panel won't appear after pressing (holding) the power button. Anyone suffered this? any solutions?
Edited : Problem solved by changing phone's CID. I can't change the RUU android-info's CID because the glitch would be there as the OTA's CID is GOOGL001.

Sprint?
Hey guys, does this RUU work with Sprint yet?

when upgrade to lollipop
have this problem: mount failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p037 at /data device or resource busy
how to solve it ?
in 4.4.4, stuck recovery, unrooted

It doesn't affect anything. Just let it keep going. The update takes a while because it is using the older patch method.

recovery
where can I find stock recovery for gpe rom 4.4.4/4.9.1700.1 thanks in advance

wrong cid make sure your cid is compatible with the ruu
