You have not asked a question. But as my thread is titled s-off for hboot 1.16 and above and yours is version 2, I think it's quite obvious... don't you?

Please accept my apologies... in my haste I mistook your post for another.... yes the post you mention does have a tutorial for downgrading and s off. I have followed it but unfortunately am not able to create a gold card and hence haven't been able to flash an ruu.

The script asks you if you want to create a goldcard. What happens when you select YES?
For additional feedback and assistance, it would be helpful if you posted the results of running the script.

Without the actual posting of the commands and your repsonses, it is hard to troubleshoot, but it sounds like you may not have the working directory set correctly in the command windows when you are running the script. Also please make sure that you open and run the command window as a Windows administrator.
Heres the errrors i am encoutering while running the script

------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Apply a temp root using the tacoroot exploit

Before u begin:
------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) backup everything you don't want to lose

OK, it looks like you did not unzip and install the script package in the same folder where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe installed.
The would be the reason your script is getting so many "path not found" errors when you run it.

[SOLVED] How incredibly DUMB of me...... I had not run the script from within its directory..so it could not find the relevant files... i.e the working directory was all wrong.. thanks so much for your tip...it solved my problem... the script worked beautifully... I had an error in the end ...it said " FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))" but I went ahead and ran the ruu anyway.. and it worked..i have now downgraded and have HBOOT 1.13.0000 with S-ON.
Now on to revolutionary for S-OFF...
Thank you again

Run the setup dcs in the Android ask folder and make sure you do it as admin in Vista and 7. You'll probably have to force http in options, most people do.

what fixed it?
AlphaRev X Beta is now available for Wildfire/Buzz users stuck on 2.2.1 with HBOOT 1.01.0001 and above. This will make your Wildfire/Buzz s-off and give you the ability to get root. Follow this excellent guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130881
If you have downgraded to a 2.1 rom and want to get back to official 2.2 rom to use Alpharev X Beta or have HBOOT 1.01.0002 and want official 2.2 with HBOOT 1.01.0001 to use Alpharev X Beta follow this excellent guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028
Thanks to all who made this method possible and to those who developed the tools used etc.... This is not my work just trying to simplify it.
I accept no responsability if you brake your phone
Will NOT downgrade the HBOOT but useful if you need to go back to stock 2.1 rom.
Right Here we go:-
Downloads you will need:
Android SDK:- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Google search for a guide to setting this up and read the guide carefully so you know how to use adb.
HTC Sync:- http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=316&cat=3&dl_id=1073 Basically for the drivers to use adb as these are included with htc sync you no longer have to install drivers from sdk to use adb.
HEX Editor:- http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD I suggest you find a guide on making a GOLD CARD as you will need a GOLD CARD any way, this will get you ready and use to using the hex editor later in this guide.
Super One Click:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10452428&postcount=43 Download un zip it and save to pc.
Flash_Image:- http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...-how-rebrand-o2-desire-fertig-flash_image.zip un zip and save somewhere on your pc you will remember.
A 2.1 rom RUU to downgrade to:- http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz Choose the one that best suits you WWE=Unbranded or chose one for your provider/carrier, download and save to ur pc.
Now your have set up the Android SDK you know what ADB is and how to use it (hopefully), you have created a GOLD CARD, you have installed HTC Sync, you have downloaded the 2.1 RUU.exe you want to downgrade to, you have downloaded Super One Click 1.5.5 and un zipped it and save it to ur pc and you have dowloaded the Flash_Image and un zipped it and place on ur pc.
Ready Here We Go:
Step1 - Open Super One Click and press SHELL ROOT it will run its commands and will give you temp root. You will see rooted at the bottom when its done. Try again if it says FAILED it may take a couple of attempts. ( Make sure you have adb working ) and (make sure usb debugging is ticked on your phone and unknown sources tho im not sure if unknown sources needs to be ticked, mine was and that when you plug your phone it the pc via the usb cable you select charge only on the phone)
step2 - open a cmd (command Prompt) on your pc and type adb shell (if you installed the android sdk and read about how to get to adb shell you will have no problem) (for me i type cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools and hit enter, the type adb shell. (if you see a $ try shell root in super one click again, if you see # your good to go).
step3 - copy the mtd0 file to sdcard.
(in cmd type) cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
step4 - move the misc.img to your pc and use the hex editor to edit it. (run HxD as administrator click extras, open disk image and select your misc.img you just got from your sd card).
step5 - go to 11th row down, you will find current version number at
the end of that row.
step6 - Change it to 1.25.405.1 if you want to use "Ruu_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1", the press file and save. (change the numbers to match the 2.1 RUU you are going to downgrade to (common sense) ok)
step7 - copy the flash_image (the one you downloaded at the start of this guide) and misc.img back to your sdcard.
step8 - (in cmd type) cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
step9 - (in cmd input) chmod 755 /data/flash_image
step10 - (in cmd input) /data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc.img
Now you can flash offical android 2.1 RUU rom you downloaded earlier (don't forget to make gold card).
Now your on Android 2.1 but your HBOOT is still version 1.01.0001, so Unrevoked still wont work. So still no full root as yet.
Once again not my work just trying to keep everything simple and in one place, ALL THANKS TO ORIGINAL DEVS AND GUIDE CREATERS. BUY THEM A BEER.
Thanks for making this clear, then i wont have to explain it in details
Notice Adb is included in the SuperOneClick directory

This How To works but its useless hboot cant flashed.
For clockwork-recovery is a flashed hboot needed to get Nandroid.
save your time and wait for unrevoked update
PS: find a way to zip a edited orginal rom with changed hboot or find a way to take of the siganture verification this is the way to get full root

Its not useless if you need to flash back to a 2.1 rom for any reason, which is why i made the guide because i was asked by a few people who did not like the 2.2 update or were experiencing problems on 2.2 that they were not on 2.1...

It gives you temp root so you can downgrade to a lower rom but I couldnt get it to work with titanium or get su permission in terminal app on the phone! have not really tested past the downgrading stage yet will update if I get any more info.

2.2 is more stable and use less of ram and the radio reception is better for most providers.
superoneklick cant give the access for root apps its shell root not file system root
I read somwhere a technique that involved fooling a RUU installer to apply an older rom by replacing some file(s) with older one(s).
I too am stuck with 2.2 and hope to see an easy way to set my phone free
Sent from my weak Wildfire, can't wait to trade in for HD2.
try this>>>>>
open the ruu setup and do not click on and let it open, look in the temp directory of your windows user, according to the extracted files of the setups and replace try something there maybe it will work, I have not tried it yet because most processed rom . zip files stop at the signature and the md5 check.
As if I wan to downgrade my wildfire in order to root . does it downgrade work ? Because u said tat "Will not downgrade the HBOOT" . Newbie here.. dont flame me~ thx..
wait for an other way to root. Downgrading the rom to 2.1 dont give a possible way to root because it will still have the new hboot. The unrevoked team say weeks a go that they are working on it but i guess still without succes. Just wait a read the forums.
I have extracted the 2.2.1 firmware and the rom.zip file within it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi i am unable to post in Dev area, I have managed to extract the .exe from the 2.2.1 to revel all the files including the rom.zip file to which the hboot file is in there.
Do you think we can change the hboot file and fake it to think its 1.01.001 when infact is a hboot file that can be rooted.
I am kind of new to the android platform but not to linux. My device came with 2.2.1 pre installed. This is just a idea weather it will work i don't know.
Could you post this question in the forum that you posted asking the same question with the words that i have managed to extract everything. Thanks

The Superboot root method boot.img for 2.3.2 is now live thanks to Paul over at Android @ MoDaCo.
"Superboot is a boot.img that when flashed, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash the system partition, no need to use ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just flash the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!"
Using Superboot
- Download the zip file and extract
- Connect Nexus S via USB cable (with debugging enabled - Settings->Applications->Development->Check "USB Debuggging")
- Boot into bootloader mode - (Turn on while holding 'volume up')
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
*Again, All credit goes to Paul at Android @ MoDaCo*

Figures. The answer was staring me in the face the whole time. I think I even remember unlocking it last time I rooted this way. I guess I should just leave it permanently unlocked then so it doesn't keep wiping every time I go to root after an update.

Ok buddy heres what you need to do, on the MAC, this is how i do it.:
DL the .zip in the OP.
Extract it on you're desktop
Rename the Extracted file to Nexus (thats what I name it)
youre device needs to have the bootlader Unlocked.
Open Terminal and type
cd desktop
cd nexus
chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh (press enter)
./install-superboot-mac.sh (press enter)
then you're done. hope this helps.
Let me know.
Simply amazing! Thanks for the breakdown.
Hi all,
I am trying to root an HTC One; I'm following the instruction at htconeroot.com.
For some reason, I am getting stuck at the stage at which I am supposed to install CWM SuperSU.
I have the Android app QuickSSHD installed on my phone.
Using scp on my Linux laptop (Linux Mint 16), I transfer the SuperSU zip file to the phone, copying it to /sdcard/.
If I browse the phone using ES FIle Manager app, I can verify the zip file is there, along with the various other subdirectories under /sdcard/
However, when I reboot and go to the bootloader, click on Install, and then go to /sdcard/, I see nothing. No zipfile, no subdirs. I am wondering whether /sdcard/ is in fact mounted; it would seem not.
I have tried copying the SuperSU zipfile to the root directory of the phone, but that isn't possible; I don't seem to have write permissions.
From the instructions:
Sign in through the setup process then copy the CWM-SuperSU-v1.30.zip file in HTCOneRoot folder to anywhere on your HTC One’s internal storage.

However, it isn't clear to me precisely how I am supposed to do this -- or where it should go.

Using scp on my Linux laptop (Linux Mint 16), I transfer the SuperSU zip file to the phone, copying it to /sdcard/.
If I browse the phone using ES FIle Manager app, I can verify the zip file is there, along with the various other subdirectories under /sdcard/
However, when I reboot and go to the bootloader, click on Install, and then go to /sdcard/, I see nothing. No zipfile, no subdirs. I am wondering whether /sdcard/ is in fact mounted; it would seem not.
I have tried copying the SuperSU zipfile to the root directory of the phone, but that isn't possible; I don't seem to have write permissions.
From the instructions: However, it isn't clear to me precisely how I am supposed to do this -- or where it should go.
Am I missing something here?

Are you S-Off and unlocked? If that's the case, I believe there's a flashable zip (and instructional videos) in the TWRP thread. If you're not S-Off and unlocked yet, you'll want to look here:

You'll use the "temp root" method, but I believe you'll still have to be on 4.3 for it to work.

Try moving the zip to /sdcard/0/ see if that helps at all...Let me know, thx lj
Moved to the HTC One Q&A (out of verizon) at the request of OP.
Thanks for moving this thread to the right place. Now, just to confirm: I have an HTC ONE which is unlocked; I bought it without a plan.

I see that sub-directory on my Nexus tablet, so I know what you are referring to, but I don't see it on the ONE.

Thanks, I am just getting up to speed here with the terminology. I've unlocked the booloader, but the phone is still S-ON.I'll try to get that sorted out now.
OK, I have used revone to set S-OFF
I have also installed, or at least run temproot.Yes, I see the # prompt.
But when I reboot and go into TWRP, it still can't see anything in /sdcard
It also says that the device does not appear to rooted.
Any thoughts on how best to move forward here?
I would like to be able to:
Install Kitkat
Deinstall some HTC cruft
Thanks

Yes i did. I installed intel driver and that was working perfectly.. no yellow marks were shown in adb driver and anywhere, i checked thoroughly. And also when i pluged my usb, its showed the mgs. "Installed successfully with a green tick as it does in Windows 7.
There was no issue in driver installation or extraction of files. I extracted the files with same name on desktop and opened the cmd as said.. unfortunately there was error.
"Fastboot"is not recognized as an internal or external command.........."

Did you have the file fastboot.exe in the folder? If not you need to download minimal adb and move the zip file into that folder then open cmd in that folder and follow the command
