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.

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:

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?

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!

AlphaRevX doesn't give you radio S-OFF, that's why you're having problems.

That's what I'm saying - your phone has an unlocked HBOOT (bootloader) but the radio is still locked. There is at least one thread on the forum here explaining how to flash a radio manually. Radio S-OFF can only be achieved using a hardware solution like an XTC clip, as far as I know.
test this out?

Ok so either the rom u r using does not have root permissions, or maybe you are not allowing root permissions on your phone when you type "su" in adb shell, ... what i mean is, after typing "su" in adb shell, on your phone a popup should appear asking for root permissions. U need ROOT permissions and busybox installed to flash eng-boot.
MY phone came shipped to me with s-off, i didnt use an xtc clip.

Sweet. Nice one, well done.
once you have flashed the radio, there is no need for the "eng-hboot" so if you were feeling confident...
download the attached zip.
extract and place hboot_1.13.0000_CRC_8a731c6e_0401.img [MD5=C0845E6348123828F918FDB48B74F349] in the same place you put the radio.img

Well that i do not know %100. I wouldnt think so tho. I cannot test this for you as I didnt need to use AlphaRevX to s-off
It kinda worries me though... If I get ENG HBOOT and it returns to S-ON then would there be a way to S-OFF it again? Or would I be stuck forever?

Well there is only one way to find out, All I can say is that my phone came with s-off, flashing the eng-hboot did not return me to s-on, the eng-boot is an engeering hboot so i dont see that it would return to s-on
EDIT: this from your other thread..
vimfreak said:
Flashing RUU will return S-ON.
I've S-OFF my phone with alpharevx and then flashed official GB RUU - phone was S-ON again.
However its not a big deal since you can use alpharevx trick again - phone will be S-OFF again (worked for me)
Click to expand...

It depends on whether or not it checks if the hardware is S-OFF or not... Because if it does then Im screwed... But Ive looked at the Desire Z forum and they soft mod S-OFF and are able to install ENG HBOOT S-OFF... But... If it does happen to fail, since Im already rooted, wouldnt I be able to flash a HBOOT from the Optus rom or something?
EDIT: yes, but AlphaRevX relies on the stock HBOOTs to operate...
EDIT 2: did some research... ENG HBOOT is unlocked by nature... Apparently its impossible for it to revert you to S-ON xD thanks for your help

OK, I searched, read stickies etc. Thank you for all the great info.
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?

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.
Hello All,
Here's my dilemma. I successfully rooted my HTC One (AT&T), and was recently attempting to unroot it. I followed this one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823. Since I have the AT&T version, I downloaded the first one the list found there, however it wouldn't verify. Next I downloaded the AT&T AIO here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242635. I was able to use that to figure out according to the info it displayed that I actually needed the Google Edition one from the previous link. I thought that was weird since I dont have the google edition one. But when I fast booted that one, everything appeared to go through with a hitch.....Until it restarted.
After it restarted, I only have a black screen. No start up. I restarted the phone and went into the bootloader and to my surprise, the bootloader was black instead of the normal white.
I've tried several RUUs found here http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=M7
I've tried both the exe and flashing the zip.
I have no clue what to try next. Please XDA, your my only hope.
Are you s-off? I would assume so if you've been able to run multiple RUUs and are getting weird signature results. What mods/roms did you do to your phone before you started all this?
If you can get to bootloader, you're not bricked. You're on the 3.06 GE hboot, but it's not clear why you can't boot up.

Were you ever s-off? You should not have been able to run that GE RUU on an s-on AT&T phone.

You bought it new? Not used from someone else? If so, it was always s-on.
You're on GE firmware somehow. It's possible you have a conflict with your model or carrier ID. Can you run through the exact steps you took when you started trying to unroot? Exactly which files you used and how you ran them?

I received the phone directly from HTC through a sell to earn contest.
Not sure if it matters much but I unlocked the bootloader through HTC Dev.
To unroot,
1) Put phone in bootloader with fastboot
2) Relocked bootloader
3) fastboot oem rebootRUU
4) fastboot flash zip 2.24.401.1.zip (failed)
Used one of the AIOs that stated I had modelid: PN0712000 and cidnum: CWS__001. That when I grabbed the GE version.
5) fastboot flash zip 3.06.1700.10.zip
6) Phone finished, rebooted to a black screen
7) Rebooted into bootloader (Which is now black instead of white)
8) Sad ever since....
Where did you get that GE zip? I'm not sure why the AIO toolkit told you that you were GE but I'd like to check the file.
I suspect the problem is that you have 4.3 GE firmware but a 4.1 OS. Flashing a 4.2 or 4.3 rom might fix.

:facepalm: Just realized the issue.
Your bootloader is locked and you still have custom recovery installed, I'm guessing. Can you select Recovery in bootloader and see what happens? If you're still with TWRP or CWM, that's the issue; you can't boot locked on custom recovery.
You have to unlock again or flash the stock recovery in fastboot. Unlocking will wipe your phone, unfortunately.
Flashing recovery in fastboot is easy if you have the stock recovery file.

You are right about having the recovery option in the bootloader but when I try to select that option, Android shows up with the spinning blue thing in it's stomach, then it dies with a red triangle.
I'll try flashing the recovery again. After I find a stock recovery img. LOL
Thanks again!!!

Actually, I think that red triangle is stock recovery. I think to get to the recovery options you press power+vol up on that screen. But it doesn't matter because clearly you're not on custom recovery.
I don't see that 3.06 firmware package in the OP of that thread. Can you find the post you found it attached to?

If you click on the download link in that post for the GE it downloads as that 3.06 firmware..
Also, not sure if it was smart or not but I unlocked the bootloader again to see if it would fix the conflicts you mentioned before. Haven't tried flashing anything yet...
ADD: I just successfully flashed the stock recovery.... Too scared to muck something up so I'll waif for your superior guidance!

I forgot Mike updated that link.
Okay, I see what you did now. You've essentially upgraded your phone to a GE because the android-info.txt in this official firmware matched your MID and CID; that allowed it to run. The problem is that you can't go back now because you're s-on. Your phone won't boot because you have the GE kernel installed but I assume a Sense rom.
This should be easy to fix. You can flash custom recovery now that you've unlocked, then flash a custom rom. This will get your kernel and rom consistent again and you should be able to boot.
Unrooting is a different story. You can't go back to the stock configuration you had when you got the phone without s-off, which you can't get on 1.54 hboot. I'm afraid you're stuck until AT&T releases 4.3 and you can run a RUU.

So no getting my white bootloader back till next release? That's ok.
However, how do I flash the custom ROM. I got the customer recovery going but I don't know how to get the ROM on there.... Flashing isn't working, still getting signature failures.
Sorry

You can only run a later firmware. When the signed 4.3 Sense firmware is released (it may be there now), you should be able to run that and get back the stock HTC bootloader.
You need to adb push the rom file onto your phone. There is a tutorial for doing it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317986

Thank you so much! I believe I can take it from here.....Until I brick my phone when the signed 4.3 comes out. LOL
Until next time. Thanks iElivis you are a BADA$$!:good::good::good:
so I took my sprint htc one with viperone loaded and did an ruu back to 4.3 version wiping everything, I successfully got my over the air update to 4.4.2 and decided I'd try to back down to 4.3 so I could restore my twrp viper backup however twrp won't flash currently and I think I caused issues with my bootloader. Since there is no 4.4.2 ruu available yet and I can still get to bootloader, but not recovery, I think I'm still not completely bricked. I've tried a factory restore but I end up at the white screen with green htc letters and it never goes further. Could flashing the 4.4.2 stock recovery fix my issue?
Any attempt to do manual ruu flash, fastboot flash zip rom.zip, fails with this message

ran fastboot oem lock

I get error [155] unknown error
this worked to flash from viper one then take all the OTA updates to 4.4.2 but now I get this 155 error
I think I have to wait for the 4.4.2 ruu to be released to get back to a fully functioning but I wanted to check around.

looks like firewater requires being able to boot into android and I can't get past the white screen with green HTC letters, I can get into the bootloader and fastboot but can't get further than that.
btw I really do appreciate the comments and suggestions, I feel like I'm just being negative and shooting each one down but I really am trying them as you post them before replying just in case I've missed something.
I can understand the older ruu versions failing as it won't let you downgrade firmwares with s-on but I'd think that some of the posted roms would work. is it possible to extract the boot and recovery from a 4.4.2 upgraded handset for flashing on another?

Reflash the latest TWRP and than flash a 4.4.2 rom, I don't see why it shouldn't work. If you really messed up(flashed some gsm rom or whatever) you'll probably have to wait for the 4.4.2 ruu to come out
