Dude! I know it is the latest one cause I've been searching about it for a whole day. but, what is the benefit of it. I mean I know what is Rom, Kernel, etc. I just still don't know what an hboot really represents! Can you tell me a short guide?:good:

Its basically just compatibility
Many roms need blackrose to flash, (dont ask why)
Its better to have latest to be on the safe side.

Not really full of details but thanks anyway. At least I know the basic thing about hboot.

Placeholder again
Already thinking about this as a slightly better HTC Aria
Something just so compelling about a small form factor that can still rock.

I think it's a better idea to look at it as a follow-up of the HTC Legend.
is there any method anyone has used to successfully root this phone?
I have got the superuser app for it i have it installed, but it doesn't work which is annoying, i tried to install busybox but it has got to be rooted thought it might of helped bypass it but nope lol
i hope S-off, rooting and custom ROM support darktremor app2sd will appear very soon
i've tried all the rooting options on this with no luck yet
Is there any possibilities someone can root this device?
Seem no particular developer working on this

[Q] help with installing rom

Hey guys,
I know this has been asked several times and I apologize for this but I need help with S-OFFing/installing a rom on my IncS.
I am using hboot 2.00
The problem is I dont understand it all... I see Radio this? RUU That? And its totally confused me.
I am looking to install 'Android Revolution HD' so any advice would be helpful.
I have written down my radio number just in case but as I said, its confused me so I dont know what to do.

You need to read and research so that these terms are not confusing.
Since you are on HBOOT 2.00, you need to check out the HTCDEV unlocking procedure at HTCDEV.com. Also you need to get familiar with using adb.exe and Fastboot.exe.
With the newer HTC ROMs, the days of a simple one-click root option are no longer available at the moment. An educated user you must become...
Could you link me to some threads that I will need to read? Sorry for asking stupid questions.

A great place to start is read the sticky posts in the forums.
Yes you can use Android Revolution but you will also need to use EXT4 recovery instead of CWM recovery as that is a requirement of the ROM.

/facepalm
List of ROMs you installed while "trying out different ROMs". Nine to ten odds you accidentally grabbed something out of the international forums.
Either way, you will likely need to RUU to stock.
More information please. Are you rooted? Do you have a custom recovery? Which is it? Have you tried to access your recovery? If you can get into recovery, you can flash a new ROM, if you have one in memory. If not, you can sideload one. And as the guy above posted, what ROMs have you tried to flash so far? You cannot flash any ROM that does not specifically say m7spr in the title. Ours is a different device, regardless of how they are the same hardware.

You should be s-off before flashing any third-part roms or recovery...

Incorrect. S-ON and custom works fine as long as you're not trying to make changes to /system during runtime.

Correct until you have a bad flash or flash a GSM Rom and need to RUU.

Which to me is essentially the same as saying "a case is not necessary to your phone until you smash your phone." Bad flashes do happen, I'll admit that, but they're rarer than they used to be. Flashing the wrong ROM has basically always been a cause for problems, and people need to take more care not to do it to begin with.

Yeah you should live life from that stand point dont wrap it until you get someone pregnant. And if you think people arent flashing GSM roms often you need to lurk this forum more, its like a plague for the HTC One.

Wow, talk about hyperbolic exaggeration. I'm well aware that people are being idiots and flashing GSM ROMs, but if you don't know what you're doing you're just as likely to screw up getting S-OFF or fail to do an RUU. The point is that no amount of precautionary measures are going to save someone from carelessness.

rumrunner is the one that might work for you.
If you need help unlocking/rooting I'd suggest using this toolkit.

S-off

I know this question is directed more towards the T-Mobile version but I was hoping to find guidance here as well. I have a One that currently has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. The hboot is version 1.57. I've been trying to get the s-off for a while now but I'm not having any luck. I tried downgrading to different roms but I don't think that was the answer. I'm guessing it's because of my hboot version. Is there anyway to downgrad my hboot without already having the s-off? I've been doing a lot of research but I can't find anything that applies to the T-Mobile version and in my specific situation. I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with this or let me know that it is totally impossible to do right now. I've been working on this for days but I'm determined haha
