New idea for getting perm root.... - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

What if we took the Rogers RUU, extracted the rom.zip, created a goldcard, put the rom.zip as "PH39IMG.zip" on the root of SD, rebooted in bootloader, let it install the zip, then go to htcdev.com with a (hopefully) Rogers CID, and be done with it?
Too late to try for me, but any thoughts?

tried that, doesnt flash

So, anybody know WHY it doesn't flash? Isn't a goldcard supposed to allow us to flash any HTC signed Rom?

From what I've read is S-Off is base security off completely and bootloader unlock isnt needed. Im just leaving my bootloader unlocked in case.
Hi
greetings,
unlock bootloader gives access to partial system files
where as S-OFF which means security off will give you full system access
if your s-off and locked bootloader then you can not use fastboot\abd commands. for that you need a unlocked bootloader.
but you being S-OFF you can directly flash a patched hboot which will give access to bootloader option ( do not know if its available right now)
so you will have to unlock your hboot or flash a patched hboot.
you need fastboot\abd commands to flash recovery and that needs unlocked bootloader.
I don't believe that's true. You have to use fastboot to unlock the bootloader and I used fastboot getvar all while locked.
I just wanna know if I can flash a Rom with locked bootloader and s-off.

I have a HTC butterfly and I already did that we now have s off and we can change our relocked to locked on our bootloader. Once ur s off u can use custom recovery and root and also flash roms when bootloader is locked I did it couple times jus make sure u have cwm or twrp as the recovery. But for ur phone I don't think so because we don't use fastboot oem lock command no more we use a flashable zip to lock
Sent from my HTC Butterfly using xda premium
Yes you can flash a ROM with S-OFF and locked but you can't flash a custom recovery whilst locked unless you have a ZIP you can flash via fastboot (like it used to be with the Sensation/Desire). Leaving it unlocked doesn't actually matter as if you ever need to send it back to HTC you can reload the stock ROM and lock it again before doing so. Everyone wins
Thank you for the answer.

[Q] 4.2.2 Update error, help please

I got OTA 4.2.2 on my ONE, which i bought used, was Relocked & Tempered. But now after Revone, I made it S-ON. During the flashing of OTA, the phone restarts itself once, and second time when the OTA is being flashed, it stops midway with a RED exclamation mark.
I am not getting what could be the problem here
Any suggestions....I did not flash any recovery or anything...
I recommend you to root the phone and update the firmware manually and apply a custom rom... Or make sure to follow the exact steps to go back to stock.
I'm pretty sure there are some missing files hence the update doesn't find the right checksum to proceed with the update.
Have you relocked the bootloader? Worth giving that a try if not
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
OTAs will usually fail if any system files are missing. If your phone was debloated at any point, even if it's s-on and relocked, that could be enough to stop the OTA from installing.
To flash an OTA, you typically have to be completely stock.
What do you suggest i should do... Right now doing revone method... I am S-on and bootloader is locked...... I want the official OTA... Amy kind suggestions plz

revone will not take you back to stock. You have to run a RUU for your carrier, or flash a fully stock rom if no RUU is available. For the latter, you need to be unlocked, but you can then relock and should be able to apply the OTA.
Edit: sorry, for the latter, you also have to flash the stock recovery in fastboot. You can find that in the firmware threads, though you'll need to pull recovery.img file out of the zip file.
Can some one help me find the correct RUU for me... I have posted the screen shot...

There's no RUU for your version.
The 1.28.401.7 is for the HTC One UL variant (or was it the U variant?). Anyway the 1.28.401.7 will have a different MID to yours so you can't use that RUU unless you change your MID.
EDIT:
I found the 1.29.401.16.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43316694&postcount=1157 and use this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40734501&postcount=1 to flash it so you should be back to stock.

Do you have TWRP or CWM recovery installed?
If yes that is the problem. To update you need to be on stock recovery.

Not going to work. If you flash an international ROM you hose your storage partitions. Generally the only way to recover from this is via an RUU, but I'm guessing the user is S-ON so they'll have to wait for an updated RUU to turn up.
Need to try to get s-off, which will allow you to flash older ruu. Also I suggest in the future you read OP of any Rom you want to flash to make sure it's compatible with sprint

i have flashe internatinal rom trying to fix my gsm signal on my unlocked sprint htc one with no luck and the same has happened so ive fixed it by flashing recovery with the one click too or by using adb. Im s-off and unlocked though
same thing
I did the exact same thing. Flashed the revolution rom and selected the international version of it because it said that one applies to all carriers not listed below. stupid thing to overlook on my part. at first after doing so I was unable to get into my recovery then i used fastboot erase cache and once i did that I was able to fastboot flash the recovery image and navigate into it from the bootloader. ive tried everything i could think of once in my recovery, which is a version of cwm btw. Ive formatted data, erased cache and delvik, after that i tried installing my cyanogen 10.1 zip which i was successfully running without any problems for a day before i got greedy and tried to flash that international rom :crying: i made a backup of that working one but regardless of what I try doing whether it be restoring the back up that was working properly or re installing the cyan zip, every time it starts booting for about 30 secs then crashes reboots and tries again. it continues this loop for eternity and theres nothing i can do.looks like somebody said i messed up my internal storage partitions and im sol until a new ruu update comes out. I would greatly appreciate if someone would elaborate on that or point me in the direction of a good place to do some research on it. my bootloader says tampered, unlocked, s-on. there was also somebody that said try to get s-off and flash and older ruu. is this a possible fix?? i dont care how hard it is ill figure it out but right now im hurting for some help or direction. i appreciate any help. thanks

Are you trying this in fastboot? If you are just in the bootloader then the computer won't detect anything, but if you're in fastboot mode your computer should at least register an unknown device. And I don't think there are any 4.3 RUU's yet either...
You need to RUU, try this and see if it works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44243635
You might be screwed in till there is an updated RUU.

I got my HTC one about two weeks ago and rooted it right away. Then today I mistakenly followed this guide here to upgrade to 4.3

(I put in a space in the link above since I am too new to the forum so can't post links)
Now I'm stuck in a bootloop. Tried restore backup, factory reset, clean cache etc. to no avail. I am a noob here could someone please help me??? Should I get S-OFF and install RUU? How do I do that?

My bootloader screen now says "relocked" with S-ON, maybe I can go ahead with the RUU then.
Question: how do you find out which RUU version I have on my phone right now?

[Q] OOOPS!

Accidentally flashed international version of a rom. Now i can get into recovery and fastboot, but can't get a rom to run properly. It'll start and go to a black screen with the status bar showing. Is there a 3.04 RUU out? I already took the update and have no idea how to get my phone going again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You're ok... All you have to do is run the old RUU In fastboot. OMJ has the thread laying around here somewhere. It's the 1.29.651.10 RUU. It's saved my ass many times

You can flash the new firmware with fastboot. Note it needs to be the full firmware, not the one that says s-off only. You are s-on so you can only flash unmodified firmwares. You may need to reflash the recovery too
Here's a link for the full firmware
