Hello,
I have an sensation xl (s-off, hboot 1.25.0004 , with fardjadb method) after that I do it in s-off, I've found that the internal storage was 4Gb but no other storage on the phone
then I've try to install an custom rom after flash trwp recovery, but it failed cause the device is not rooted !
But the problem now is that I have access only in bootloader and recovery; and all the methods that I've found dont give me the root, cause I'm in bootloader and not from the system
Then I wish that somebody give me the good method to root the device from fastboot
thank you very much
Please read every thread in detail before doing thigs because:
Fardfab's S-OFF is just partial and deprecated he said that in his thread, we use the one's from unlimited.io.
You ROOT from recovery.
You flash rom's from recovery.
You flash recoveries from bootloader.

Hi Guys,
A friend of mine got a IncS with Hboot 2.00.000. I know how to install recovery by using the adb and fastboot. But is it necessary to S-off your phone? The phone is bootloader unlocked by htcdev. Is there any rom sense rom with beats audio where i don't need an S-off?
Many thanks to you!
I think you can flash the ROM's with S-ON, but you'll have to flash the boot.img manually trough fastboot.
Okay that's no problem for me.
For the one's who don't understand the question, you need to extract the rom after flashing and flash the boot.img in fastboot. You need the Android SDK Kit
Open CMD and go to your folder where you got the sdk it installed and enter then the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Manually flash the boot.img from the ROM using fastboot.
I think it needs a sticky that you can perfectly flash a custom rooted ROM with S-ON.
Oh, and also a sticky that you have to put the back cover on to get a good signal.
Mine is s-on, and running virtuous affinity rom with sense 3.5, as above, need to flash boot img through fastboot. Took a while to remember this when I flashed the quattro rom :banghead:
i Unlocked the bootloader form HTCDev.com according to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105 guide to the point but after unlocking the bootloader i installed RunnyDroid v5.1 it gave me force closes of almost every app and even the screen hung while locking or unlocking the mobile (the power button ) .,,,so i tried virtuos rom even that gave me the same thing...what could be the reason ..??? rom is not overclocked and i have HBoot 2.000 my incredible s is S-ON by the way
I think the kernel(boot.img) doesn't installed very well because S-on with unlocked devices must flash the boot.IMG via the computer manually.
Command here
"fastboot flash boot boot.IMG"

have already done that the issue stated is after installing the kernel from the command promt
Which recovery you have installed?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA
Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
Try to install 4EXTrecovery. Revolutionary recovery is too old.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA
But can the recovery be an issue..???? can i directly flash 4ext recovery over CWM ..???
Maybe a filesystem problem. Now all roms are preformatted the devices with ext4 fiflesystem for a better performance. I think revolutionary recovery doesn't support ext4 so the FC problem is occurred.
Also Android Revolution HD will flash the latest recovery after install the Rom. This Rom is modified from the stock. So the Rom may boot successfully. For more details, take a look on its description and the changelog.

Yes the recovery can be an issue. CWM 4.01 is an older version. For ARHD you definitely need 4Ext recovery.
Or you can extract the zip file and flash the recovery manually.
Command here
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Just go on 4ext.net on your phone and download the updater. Then click install and it will over write your old recovery with the latest one

Hi Guys,
My heads sorta spinning from information overload so I'm hoping one of you guys can help me. I have a Incredible S and I used this guide to downgrade my HBOOT and get my S-OFF using revolutionary and flash clockwork, which I did successfully. I then decided to install this ROM which requires Blackrose. So I installed blackrose beta sucessfully overwriting the revolutionary HBOOT. This is where it all starts to go wrong. I then set about doing a full wipe and tried to install the ROM using Clockwork and the installation completed sucessfully. But when I try to boot up my phone I get stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant screen. I also restored a backup I took with Clockwork with the same results; stuck at the boot screen. I tried following the steps in the thread of the ROM (listed below) with no avail.
Here are some steps you can try if the ROM hangs on the HTC splash screen
1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH (MD5 SUM: 83dd68b32d39c994b3069d8813b3c3ea)
2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.
3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash lib lib.img
4. Wipe Data/System Reset.
5. Wipe Dalvik Cache.
6. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_8.zip
Do any of you guys have any suggestions or know whats wrong? Even if I can get back to the latest stock ROM while preserving my root I would be happy.
Thanks Guys!!!
BTW i would have posted in the rom thread on I dont have enough posts :crying:
No need blackrose on this rom. Just flash and install rom if you S-On flash boot.img manual via adb flash.
Before, i ve used that rom & back to my prev rom like Stock and Nik Rom.
++no need blackrose++

It says in the ROM thread "This ROM requires that you upgrade Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13.to BlackRose 2.02.0002 because of space issues with the ICS /system partition."

What version of HBOOT does your phone now show?
Did the flashing of thr lib.img in FASTBOOT USB mode show any errors?
What is the exact file name of the vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36 rom?
Which version of ClockworkMod are you using?
Things have went from bad to worse. I uninstalled blackrose now I'm back to revolutionary hboot 1.13.0000. But now I cannot boot at all or even get to the white htc screen. I am stuck in bootloader and have lost recovery. Thereby my phone will not charge enough to accept a RRU. I tried to reflash recovery by fastboot but I keep getting a Remote:signature verify fail error Have I bricked my phone? :crying::crying::crying:

The only option you have at this point is to flash an official PG32IMG.zip file extracted from a RUU and copy it to your SD card. Then when you boot into bootloader it will find the file, flash it and that should get you going.
It sound like you need to use the 2.30.405.1 RUU from here:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...5AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe
DUDE! This is no lie. You are a legend!!! That worked. I had myself prepared for buying a new phone!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH
I want to know if its possible to fastboot boot customrecovery.img.
What I want to do:
I have the m7_u, completely stock. I love the DSP Manager effects, so I want to install it, but for it to work properly, you need to flash it via a recovery. You also need to be rooted. But, if I flash a custom recovery, I'll get ***TAMPERED*** on my bootloader screen, which I don't want :crying: So, is it possible to do this:
1. Unlock bootloader via HTCDev
2. fastboot boot twrp.img
3. Flash root zip in recovery
4. Flash DSP manager zip in recovery
5. Reboot and no tampered message on bootloader, rooted and with DSP manager installed.
I have HBOOT 1.54, so no s-off for me :crying: .. That would have solved all of this
Can't be done on the new HBOOT, even if S-OFF - HTC stopped that
So what would be the best way for me to go ahead? Any ideas? I'd just be happy if I could do all of this any other way without getting the tampered message..

There are probably a ton of threads asking the same thing but I need help...lol
I have Sprint HTC ONE M7 (m7wls)
Recovery - ClockworkMod v6.0.4.3
OS - 6.23.651.10
HBOOT - 1.61.0000
Current ROM - CANDY5
TAMPERED
UNLOCKED
S-ON
I tried to flash the zip of the stock rom i found here on xda but i got zip signature verification FAILED...Help
First of all, you might consider using TWRP instead of Clockwork Mod to flash the zip. I've had more luck with TWRP on my One.
Personally, anytime I want to run stock rooted (which is most of the time honestly), I use it as an excuse to do the ultimate cleanup of my phone by running the RUU. I've written a guide on how to do that if you need the help. The guide will get you back to completely stock unrooted. At that point, you will need to reunlock using the HTC site (since you are s-on), flash a custom recovery (the latest TWRP works fine for me) and then use TWRP to flash the SuperSU zip. At that point, you'll be stock rooted.
