Hello there, I've searched a bit on XDA developers and Google, but I can't find anything related to rooting HTC S.XL with ICS 4.
Is that even possible right now?
If yes, where is the thread I can read about this?
Seriously, I could not find any thread about rooting ICS 4 on HTC S.XL.
Thank you,

later update on market.

Hello,
@stona175: There is written that HBOOT must downgrade.
but i don't want to s-off and flash and downgrade hboot..
is there not possible like old version android 2.3.5 with some tool like DoomLord to rooting??
thx alot for a answer..
bls

Like i write.
Read there if you don't have unlocked bootloader or installed recovery.
This guide show you how to do that.
If you have unlocked bootloader and installed recovery you can only download file in the previous post and install it via recovery.
Put this files to sdcart, reboot phone to recovery and install.

Thanks to someone @goapk http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-1647299-1-1.html
The newest radio, you need to use for 2.3.3 roms!
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE
How To:
just put the PG32IMG.zip on the root of your SD Card and boot into fastboot
follow the instructions on the screen
Download
http://www.multiupload.com/JG3D1BODV7
The filename should be PG32IMG.zip
it's in the zip
just forget it at the guide
thanks

does it also work with s-on?
i guess
but i didn't tried it
but u don't need it because if you are having s-on you only can get 2.3.3 by using goldcard method which will flash the radio too
and how about an ota update? the ota does flash the radio either, or does it?
to put it in a nutshell i am going to s-off my phone this afternoon, so i need to know how to flash the newest CustomRom wich actually is the 2.3.3 rom correctly on my incS. so i need to flash this radio first?
doesn't matter what order you flash them in, I did ROM first then radio

thx my prophet
so
s-off -> rom and radio -> finish?! or did i miss something?
(BTW l0st.prophet your rom is already rootet, so if i flashed your rom on my incS i didnt need to flash or install anything else to finish, or do i?)
Best order is:
- S-OFF
- Root via SuperOneClick (psneuter)
- Install RonManager from the market and install clockworkmod
- Boot into recovery and install rom
- Reboot into HBoot and install radio
Iam sorry, but i really cant find the superonclick root by psneuter... Could you be so Kind, to Post the Link. Iam on the go...
Thx a lot!!

[Q] How to gain S-off on hboot 2.00.0001

Hello guys,
I have little trouble here, I own Incredible S with andorid 2.3.5 and HTC sense 3.0
and I was going to root it but befor rooting I needed to S-off and managed to do so.
Problem is that I failed, i tryed almost everthing, including revolutionary which I liked most but it doesn't work because of unsupported bhoot version.
supported versions are 1.09 and 1.13 But I have 2.00.0001 so it doesn't work..
I'm almost noob in android but want to have phone rooted so please give me some advice..
What is the easiest way to S off or to downgrade hboot to 1.13 or 1.09 (I don't even know if it's possible..)?
Thank you very much,
Nick.

If you want true S-Off then this is your only solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697
If you just want root and don't care about acknowledging to HTC that you are doing so, then check out the unlock procedure at HTCDEV.com. Note you will have to give HTC info about your phone that potentially void a warranty claim.
Well, main reason of rooting is to install georgian fonts.
As far as i know there is no way to install fonts on unrooted phone soo will that method help me to use fonts after rooting?

If after you unlock the bootloader, you would then be able to flash a custom recovery and this would allow you to flash the latest versio of SU-3.0.xxx.zip which would root your phone and allow you to install fonts.
thanks mate, is there any noob friendly guide to install SU ?

Is it possible that you have a file named PG32IMG.zip on your SD card? That's what it sounds like is happening. Delete this file and then start the process again.

Official OTA ICS update fails:

Hi All,
I need help for the following issue,
today i got notified by my incredible S that a software update is available,
I accepted and downloads starts, finished, choose install and the system checked the downloaded package, then phone rebooted to start the installation, then a blue android logo appear on the screen along with "!" inside a triangle, and phone was stuck on this for more then an hour before i took out the battery and restarted it and it is now back normal but on 2.3.5
anyone faced this matter and found a solution???
the phone is rooted, unlocked bootloader via HTCDEV website, and all the crappy HTC application uninstalled including htc sense and everything.
any help will be very appreciated,
thanks.
Problem solved:

OK, so if you have modded the stock ROM by removing HTC applications and Sense, then that is why the OTA update failed.
To accept and install the OTA you must have all the stock components in place, HBOOT, recovery and all the apps.
Download the stock ice ruu exe from the thread listing in the dev section.
Make a goldcard and then install.
Remember this method I think will work with a compleatly stock phone meaning s-on locked bootloader, no root and no custom recovery. Do this at your own risk. I have a inc s with cid 38, It worked for me.

i have checked your suggested rom but it seems not to work with my S ON hboot version
would it help if i do the following?:
restore all the stock application from titanium backup
and then try to accept the OTA update?
or as naathaanb96 suggested to simply unroot, lock bootloader?

As the previous poster suggested, just relock the bootloader and then run the official ICS RUU using a goldcard.
Then since you have unlocked your bootloader before, you can simply use the same unlock_code.bin to unlock the ICS bootloader and then you can add a custom recovery and root the system.

Unbranding Vodafone HTC One

Hi,
I have Vodafone UK's HTC ONE, and it's on 1.28.161.7 version.
I want to have the global stock version, 1.28.401.7, and get OTA updates.
My One is rooted with CWM Touch Recovery, Bootloader Unlocked.
I have read a lot on the Dev forums but only thing I found is how to go back to stock, and I need a DIFFERENT STOCK ROM.
Can you please help me ?
I have the stock odexed ROM + Stock recovery zip files, and the complete all-in-one Toolkit, so just guide me the steps
Thanks in advance !
Tzach Alon.

No you won't as it's a rooted phone. You'll need S-OFF and the stock RUU to debrand the phone (neither of which are available yet AFAIK)

Hi EddyOS, long time no speak, not since I moved here from the HOX forums!
Wouldn't flashing ARHD debrand the handset, it'd just mean he can't get OTAs?
You on a Nexus 4 now then?

First, Thanks again !
So if I understand it right, I will need to go through this process:
1) Unroot
2) Re-lock bootloader
3) Flash stock recovery
4) Flash stock RUU (from the toolkit ??)
and that's it ? will I need to flash the ODEXED stock ROM from this thread ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
And last one for now: If I'll take a Nandroid backup of CWM and unbranded HTC, will it work ?
I mean this one: "M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID HTC__001 / 1.28.401.7"
Sorry for all those questions - I have never tried to go back to stock or unbrand my device.. :angel:

Unfortunately that wouldnt work. Your phone will have a branded CID. The OTA update checks the phone for this. So it would see yours isnt HTC_001 and it would fail. You need to wait until S-Off has been found for this phone.

As soon as an OTA is out Mike updates ARHD anyway so he could just flash the new ROM, until S-Off it's the only way of doing it really.
Hopefully S-Off isn't too far away...

You said you updated hboot but you`re on 1.55. As I said in my first reply to you, update to hboot 1.57. And in the future, please read through the thread before posting. This has been discussed before. You can find the latest firmware with hboot 1.57 here.
I recommend updating firmware using the file from the link above, but if you only want to update your hboot, you can download this. It`s the same as the firmware above but with only hboot 1.57.

Do you tried update your hboot to 1.57
I'm unable to add a stock sense rom as secondary rom. Recovery says "unable to load boot.img" when flashing. Primary rom is GPE 4.4.4.
I tried two different stock sense roms I found on this forum.
Hello,
I recently installed the MultiROM app via Playstore on my HTC ONE m7 with teamvenom ONE and S-off.
After I pressed install it installed and downloaded some stuff but he cant enter recovery.
Now its just rebooting to the normal system without multirom.
edit: I installed flashify and reinstalled twrp....
I can't get multirom to work. Even with CWM Touch Recovery.
Somebody got a solution for this?
