[Q] Stuck at HTC logo

Hey,
I couldn't find any help regarding this one:
I have unlocked my bootloader using the htcdev site (i am aware of the warranty issues).
So i've got this super sexy device, with unlocked bootloader, RUU 1.16.000, S-ON CWM recovery and root access.
I've tried to install the Revolution HD rom (3 times now) and after each time i got stuck at the HTC logo screen, not the one that says"quietly brilliant", but the one the says only "HTC". So luckily (again) i've done nandroid and used it to get my operator's ROM back.
So i've got 2 questions:
1) am i a failure ? what am i doing wrong?
2) is it possible to remove all the annoying operator's apps? and how? (fastboot/adb...)
3) What the heck is Goldcard?
Thanks a lot,

1) There is a sticky in this forum. Search it for your reference.
2) You cant remove the apps cause it is located in /system/app. You might wanna try deleting them using a file manager
3) As far as I know, for incredible s, its used for downgrading hboot 1.16/2.00 to 1.13 (there is a thread somewhere around this forum) so that it could be s-off'd using revolutionary.io
Hope this helps! ^^

If you dont want to downgrade and s-off your phone you need to manualy flash boot.img via fastboot after you flashed the rom.

[Q] Need some help with Rooting the HTC Raider

Hi,
I am thinking about rooting my HTC Raider (Bell) X710a. I am, however, unable to find a simple enough method.
I came across this tool for the HTC Vivid (ATT) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003 And was wondering if I could use the tool on my HTC Raider.
If Not, Is there a super simple way to root my phone? I am really new to smartphones and am also fairly new to technology in general
Any Help would be greatly appreciated and thanked!

That's the method I used. I have the raider on rogers. I'm pretty sure it works for yours to. You have to unlock the bootloader first tho.
By the way that method is very simple. It doesn't get any easier in my opinion. Watch his video and follow the steps.

well when i did it it really didnt root it but unlock bootloader and flash the wildchild recovery when i go into hboot it says S-On so im guessing i didnt root it at all with the tool but i was able to flash a custom recoveyr

It won't say s-off even if you root the phone. You have to take certain steps to get s-off which is being worked on now. You should still be able to root your phone through wild child recovery. The option is there.

Go here, a video shows you how to root using the recovery.

Thanks and more

sir perhaps you'd be able to help me out since i got the phone from rogers as well. so i did try to follow this tool and watch the video, but to no avail, still im not able to root my htc raider
now the video doesnt seem like a step by step tutorial for me so i just did exactly wht he was sayin. now due to prev attemt before using this tool, i was only successful with unlocking my bootloader; so i skiped the part where i have to unlock it.
i was able to flash the CWM 5.5.0.4 and used the backup/restore to make sure if anything happen i'd be bale to restore my phone. after that i went straight to permroot, and all i got on the promt command was some adb stuff out of date. i assumed maybe i had to flash kernel first to make it work, but thats the part where i got stock on the htc white screen logo. im not sure what i missed; maybe you could help me out and give me a step by step procedure...
i could really use some help

1) you are not supposed to post a question in development forum
2) you should've searched in the forum before you posted because there are several discussions and guides regarding this

First of all, welcome to XDA.
Second, you dont need to "unlock bootloader" for themes and apps. Root is enough.
You can find how to root it in Development section of Xperia Z1 forum.
For any question, write here, and i will reply as soon i can.

Hello its a new person as you can see. I do have a few questions for concerning root. I am in the process of trying to learn how to root my phone which is the Z1 S. Would you be able to explain the difference in root with lock boot loader and a root with unlocked boot loader? I have tried the search button but came up little info on it. I would like to be able install roms, themeing, apps,modz, wifi and blue tooth tethering the whole nine yards lol. Maybe I should be asking which method would be best for all that. Locked or unlocked bootloader?
Thank you for all the help and your time it is greatly appreciated.

You are using Z1s so you cant unlock your bootloader. It's locked by request of T-Mobile...
However you can root without unlock bootloader
Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53407127&postcount=1004
or just use Towelroot to root
You can install recovery (must have for rooted device), ROM, any many things...but no Kernel for now (require unlocked bootloader...)

Unlocked bootloader is always rootable. But there is no difrence if you achive root with BL or UBL.
ROOT is just admin right and gives you option to mess around your phone.
And if you aim just to modify your phone a little bit, always try to root it without unlocking bootloader.

Hello again I am hoping someone would be willing to help me understand whats in this link a little more!! There are a few things I dont understand. Like what does he mean by some on boot app to run as root. Does he mean like titanium backup? Also would I run this command in adb? /system/xbin/kill_ric.sh. Thank yall a bunch for the help its greatly appreciated!!!! Below is the link I need help with thanks again
