Need help on blackrose installation!

Can anyone help in installing blackrose. I got revolutionary s-off 6.13.1002. When plugged in my device to my usb cable in 'charge mode' with usb debugging on, launch blackrose_IS.exe, got this message 'failed to check device model'. Any help on this?

This is the offical blackrose thread, there were couple of issues when entering fastboot, so if install doesent work, enter fastboot, then activate install. All you need is htc drivers,make sure that the phone i recognised by the system, and usb debug is activated.

Installing MIUI

Hi,
I have some experience with flashing, I have successfully installed CM7 and Nik's Project X on my Vivo. But when it comes to MIUI, I can only get the Chinese version working, not the English one. Stuck on Htc logo. Any ideas? Using 4EXT...

Try an other English version.
Full Wipe
Flash
(If you're a safety person, full wipe again)
Or try updating your Radio.

u must flash boot.img via adb i think

Depends on the ROM. Usually it's said if you have to use it or not but you can try to flash it anyway as it is a step forward anyway Or at least no step backwards Did you try another build already?

As Cyrus says, you could try manually extracting the boot.img from the ROM zip and pushing it via ADB once you've flashed the ROM. This was the only way to get the ROM booting on previous versions, and I'm not sure that it's been fixed yet. Give it a go.

It's not clear in the MIUI thread, but you must flash this specific boot.img to get MIUI to boot up. After you have a booted up a couple of times, you can proceed to install Redux BlackR Sense 3.6.

Ended up using another ROM by Nik recommended in this forum, and am more than happy with this one.. Will hopefully try MIUI some other time, too much trouble getting it to work.

So how exactly do I root?

Now I just bought an Incredible S and I want to root it and install a custom ROM but it seems as though HTC seems to hate devs and there are tons of crap blocking it so I was wondering how exactly do I root it?

There are multiple guides on XDA. I made one myself its in my sig
Compared to other phones, this phone is actually quite the headache to root and achieve S-OFF

Power off the phone and then hold the Volume Down key while pressing the Power button. This will boot you into the bootloader screen which lists the HBOOT version, the lock status and the radio version.

This is a very reliable guide. I used it first before achieving S-OFF. I would recommend S-OFF over just root though. Allows you to flash kernels, radios, splash screen, anything.

S-off -> root -> custom rom

errr... root and s-off are entirely different things. I looked at this thread in phandroid forums, and according to it, root just gives you superuser permissions. It gives you the ability to flash things to your phone, custom ROMs. However, when you root your phone, the Radio NVRAM section of the phone prevents you from completely overwriting system partition or at least from changing it. With S-OFF, you flash a custom HBOOT which gives you the ability to overwrite this system partition or in other words, literally do whatever you want to your phone.

I know. Not all of the custom rom require s-off. I suggest to him to s-off -> root -> the install custom rom. Forgot to put i suggest

[Q] Upgrading Firmware

Hi guys,
I'm looking to S-OFF my HTC One (hboot - 1.54.0000). However, it seems I am incapable of using rumrunner because I am currently using a firmware that it doesn't support. My current base is 3.17.401.2 It seems my only course of action is to flash in a new firmware that is compatible with rumrunner i.e.3.17.502.3 but unfortunately, my CID (HTC__039) means that I cannot flash any of them on.
So, my question is, what am I do now?
Cheers.

If you are currently s-on then your firmware must be 2.24.980.2 if it is HTC__039. Check it using fastboot getvar all then check the main version. Then use the same Rom and head to rumrunner for s-off.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium HD app

Cheers for the quick response buddy. Yes you're right. My main version is 2.24.980.2. It seems that rumrunner doesn't support that version, going up to only 2.24.841.1. I think that means that rumrunner won't be capable for me.

Doesn't always need to match. I was running the same version as u and I s off'd using rumrunner 2.24.709.1 the first day it came out

Haha. Thanks for the reply buddy. You know what? I'm going to take your word for it buddy and attempt the same thing. Seeing as you and I are from Melbourne, maybe we both have the same phones from the same batch.

I'm also using ARHD 21.0 with ElementalX kernel. That shouldn't be a problem right?
