[Q] noob questions - HTC Sensation XL

hi im a noob when it comes to htc devices...i was thinking of installing a new rom on my SXL...i have 3 questions..
1.after i install the cwm recovery i can back up my stock rom and revert back to it later on? or do i hve to install a stock rom again..?
2.After i unlock my bootloader and lock it again...is warranty voided?
3. when i try to root my phone using permanent root in the dev section i get the message 'the system cannot find the path specified'. is my phone one of those that cannot be rooted using this method?

1) After you install clockworkmod, it has a backup feature so you can backup your whole stock rom.
2) unlocking bootloader will void your warranty. Even if you relock it. Infact after you unlock bootloader you can never return it to a "locked" state. It will show as "relocked" meaning it has been unlocked at some point.
3) I can't really help you, as soon as i got my SXL i unlocked bootloader and rooted easy way

[Q] Display won't turn on - warranty questions

Hey guys,
last week I've rooted my Sensation XL and flashed an ICS rom I found in this forum, namely
[ROMs][ICS] XL 3.6 (v1.2) & [GB] XL 3.5 [More supported Languages including Arabic]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649402
everything worked pretty fine and the rom was really slick but last saturday, after a call, I noticed that the display would not turn on anymore.
I could still receive calls and the soft-keys also seemed to work but the display was just black. I tried to remove the battery for 30 minutes and turned the phone on again but still no reaction - i can't even see the htc logo or the boot animation - nothing.
So, I guess that the thing or the display is fried and I'm planning to send it to HTC for repairing.
My questions now are:
* is my warranty now void, because I rooted the phone and flashed a custom rom to it?
* is there a way to flash a stock RUU firmware via PC/Htc Sync even though the display doesn't work?
thanks in advance

Yes you void warranty when you unlock bootloader.

durin the unlocking process it said on the htc site that "it COULD void the warranty".
I read this part
It seems to be a hardware problems.

thanks... That's what I think.
That's the reason why I was planning to send it to HTC for repairing.
But I'm not sure at this point if the custom rom on the phone will cause any problems with my warranty. I also believe that the guys who will repair it, can see that there's a custom firmware installed on the phone, and that it is rooted, even though the display doesn't work.
I also was planning to flash a stock rom vie PC but I learned that I have to re-lock the bootloader and unroot the phone for this procedure. And I think that this all won't be possible without a funtioning screen.
So I'm waiting for some experts to confirm that my only option is to send that thing, as it is, back to htc...

If HTC can get out of repairing your phone for free they will. Unlocking bootloader on its own is enough for them to say no. And a custom rom will be the cherry on the cake for them.

So this has to be a known problem.
Do you know if your friend had a custom rom installed on his device and did he have problems with his warranty claim?
thank you
I used to have sensation XE and I S-OFF ed it then I realised the next day that it doesn't make phone calls so I took the phone back from where I bought it and the store give me a new phone without even checking if it is s-off/unlocked or not. So don't lose hope as they will not know if you unlocked it or not as the screen is not working

Thanks for your warning. I really would like to flash a stock rom (e.g. from Runnymede's Shipped ROM Collection) but I'm not sure if this is even possible without a display (for instance, how to select entries in the bootloader menu, how to relock the bootloader, etc.).
Do you know if I could manage to flash a stock rom without a display, salahfathi?

relocking the booloader is quite easy,even without display.
totally powered off,then long press power button and vol - for 10 second.
then wait 20s,press vol- once,power once to go into fastboot mode
now back to pc using fastboot oem lock to get it relocked.
flashing RUU is the same.you need to boot into fastboot mode then run ruu on your PC.

ok, I guess it's worth a try.
Is it necessary to have USB debugging enabled? If so, and if I DONT have it enabled right now, is there a way to enable it without using the phone screen?

USB debugging is an android feature and has no effect in bootloader so its not needed. Like the other user says, there is no need to look at the screen when relocking bootloader or flashing an ruu from fastboot. But HTC will still know the bootloader has been unlocked as it will show on there diognostic software as "relocked" not "locked"

Ok, that's really great news. As soon as I get home I will try to:
unroot the phone
relock the bootloader
flash a custom RUU firmware
I found "only" 3 Roms that are for the European region in Runnymede's Shipped ROM Collection. I guess I'll try this one:
RUU_Runnymede_HTC_Europe_1.02.401.1_Radio_20.51.30.0822_3822.10.00
It's Android 2.3.5. with Sense 3.5.
Do you agree or is there a stock rom that is more suitable (I hab a T-Mobile branded 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 before)?
thank u very much guys, you are a great help!
As its a display problem most likely linked to hardware your warranty should cover the screen. Can you see bootloader screen? Follow instructions to flash ruu file as you can guess by checking in adb if phone is connected. Adb devices in cmd prompt will list serial. If that is listed then most happens on PC and will get message saying successful at end

No, I can't see nothing on my screen. No bootloader menu, no boot animation, no htc logo, nothing. This thing is fried.
I'll let you know if flashing the stock rom worked.

And to be honest for your situation they should cover the screen for you cause this is hardware not software as it seems so .

thanks pal, that's very kind of you.
I just downloaded the stock rom and now I'm waiting another 10 minutes for the phone to recharge a bit.
A last question: Am I understanding this right, after I flash the stock rom on my rooted device, will it be automatically unrooted?
Hopefully this will work. I'll report back to you guys.

[Q] HTC ONE M7 - reset Custom Flash counter?

Hi there.
I had a samsung S3, where I could reset Custom Flash counter.
Can it be don, on my new HTC one M7?
Or, can´t HTC not see if it has been rooted or installede white another ROM?
Is there a guide to do it?, everything seems to be much more difficult to HTC than Samsung. ;-(
There is no triangle away like Samsung. Only unlock and relock status written in boot loader after unlock and relock which remain until soff is achieved.

I do not understand. Does this mean that you can´t hide that you have it rooted?
I am thinking of warranty by HTC and if I have to sell it again.
Hi
If you unlock your phone the warranty is void and you can retain you warranty only when we have soff for one

When you unlock the bootlader it will show "unlocked". When you lock the bootloader, it will show "relocked". Until S-off is acheived theres no way round this.
But your warranty isn't completely voided by unlocking, as some people think. Your warranty will still be honoured, unless something like the CPU overheats or you brick it, which is very difficult to do.
So unlocking it is not a big concern, even for warranty reasons.

Few basic queries!!! Need Answers.

Hey all. First of all i would like to congratulate all the members who own this ultimate device.. i am loving this phone upto now. But sometimes an idea just stucks on my mind to root this phone also as i did with my samsung galaxy note 2. But i am new to HTC and dunn know basics about this phone. I hv searched alot of topics and spend my time in understanding the rooting procedure. Wht i understood is i have to unlock my bootloader and turn s-off. After that i can flash cwm or twrp and start using custom roms
Now what i want to know is if i unlock my bootloader using htcdev.com then would this void tbe warranty fully?
Can i relock the bootloader and make it as it is now.
In samsung we can do this by using traingle away application but im not aware of htc as this is my first device..
Sorry for the noob questions.thanx in advance.

Unlocking your bootloader through HTCDEV will always carry the risk of HTC rejecting your warranty claim. Relocking the bootloader will change the lock status to RE-LOCKED instead of LOCKED (like stock).
With S-Off, you can bypass HTCDEV and unlock the bootloader. You can also change the status to LOCKED. Sequence of events would then be S-Off --> Unlock bootloader --> Flash a custom recovery --> Nandroid your stock ROM just in case --> Do whatever you want

Hi
greetings,
firstly welcome to HTC group.
the process of samsung and htc is different and rooting htc is a bit tough ( do not worry)
Unlocking bootloader from htcdev voids warranty completely
after unlocking booloader your bootloader says UNLOCKED and this is how HTC comes to know weather we have played with the phone or not
and after unlocking bootloader you can flash custom roms you do not have to be S-OFF.
now S-OFF means security off it gives us full access to the system which we do not achieve by unlocking bootloader.
so basically doing S-OFF you get access to all the system files of the phone including radio and all other stuff
and if you successfully achieve S-OFF( not a tough job) then you can get your warranty back by making our bootloader say LOCKED instead of UNLOCKED or RELOCKED
Thats it by this way you can have your warranty back
ENJOY FLASHING
DO NOT USE KYIES OVER HERE
So when i achieve s-off, my device will be unlocked or locked? Bcoz it bypass the htcdev process...
If it will be unlocked is there any way to make it locked bro?
Sent from my HTC One
yes you can relock. but with s-off it will say locked instead of relocked

HI
greetings,
if you do S-OFF first then your bootloader will say LOCKED
and you will have to patch the bootloader and then you can access the fastboot commands to flash recovery and install custom ROM.
and after S-OFF and unlocking bootloader you can make it LOCKED again
HTC generally don't mind if you unlock, I had to send mine back to the official HTC repair centre in England after a bad flash and I got a brand new SIM free phone back., no questions asked.

Took a month but that's only because I stupidly sent it via the shop where I bought it who then sent it to their repairs centre in Dublin who eventually decided they couldn't fix it and then sent it to HTC in England so the whole process took a month, moral of the story is, if you bork your phone assuming it's under warranty send it to HTC direct, much quicker.
Good luck

Basically i flashed a boot animation and i stupidly never had a nandroid backup so got constant boootloops, i foolishly not just done a factory reset but formatted system basically I panicked , wiped absolutely everything, spend days trying to sideload a ROM via command prompts but no matter what I done i couldn't get it sorted so sent it off, now I'm ultra careful and always ensure I have a nandroid backup.

[Q] New HTCOne owner who is confused with rooting it, help!

Hi, I just got my HTCOne and I want to root it because I want flash a custom rom (ViperOneRom)
But coming from Galaxy S3 this rooting thing with HTCOne makes me all confused... So I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with
1. Do I need to Unlock Bootloader to be able to flash custom roms (or to root)?
2. Can I unroot and get my warranty back? I have seen several videos and tutorials but they get the "relocked" thing in the bootloader and I don´t think the warrenty will be back if thats still there.
3. Is there any easy and safe way to root and unroot the keep my warranty?
4. What is s-off and s-on, what do I need it for and what can I do with it? Do I need to change anything there when I root/unroot? Can it be changed back and forth?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
1. Yes, you will need an unlocked bootloader. Also to flash a recovery.
2. You can only get back to 'locked' if you are able to use revone s-off. Otherwise you can relock the bootloader.
3. You can get back to stock, but before flashing a different Rom check if they have an ruu or cwm zip for your device. But you cannot make it seem you haven't unlocked the bootloader without revone.
4. S-Off doesn't root the device. And most of it's features are explained (kinda) above.
5. You can check out my toolkit in my signature below if you would like an easy way of doing all this. or try it manually yourself.
Hope this helps!!

1. Yes
2. Yes, if you're s-off
3. Yes, plenty of tutorials and toolkits available, just search.
4. s-off will allow you to flash firmware, radio, change your CID, change bootloader status etc.
I suggest you read up and familiarise yourself on everything before you root.

You can use s-off without rooting. Also you can check if you can use it by rebooting into fastboot mode. And looking at the hboot version.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
If you have hboot 1.44 you can s-off. This means you'll be able to turn off the tampered flag and lock the boot loader. You can also flash any RUU to return to stock. If you're on hboot 1.54 you have to use HTCDev to unlock the boot loader and will only be able to relock it. You will also have to use RUUs that match your CID, and they will need to be the same or newer than your current firmware.
Read up on s-off though, it may sound good, but it also greatly increases your ability to brick the phone.

Unlocking Htc One: S-Off And Warranty

Hi everyone, I have an Htc One (M7) still locked, original, not touched yet.
I want to unlock now, but I now I'll lose warranty, but I'm asking this:
If I unlock, ok I'll lose warranty (Is there any way to not lose?), but can I delete the message in bootloader relocked?
Thanks!

yes, you can revert to stock firmware through an RUU to claim warranty. U can remove the 'TAMPERED' flag and change 'RELOCKED to LOCKED'.
In short, u can revert to the EXACT same state ur phone came in.
BTW, u need S-OFF to revert ur phone 2 claim warranty
So now I unlocked my Htc, flashed recovery and I'm using a custom rom/kernel. Obviously I read Unlocked and Tampered...can I change this with Locked staying still with custom rom/kernel?

You need S-OFF to change back to LOCKED (not RE-LOCKED) and to remove the TAMPERED banner.
I'll recommend you to stay UNLOCKED as long as you will use a custom rom.
Ok thanks.
Other thing: is it possible dual boot like a sense rom and a miui/aosp?
