[Q] RESOLVED!!! Help with rooting ICS

My apologies if someone has already posted this, but i couldn'f find a post that was able to help me.
I had my HTC vivid rooted before updating to ics.
I relocked the bootloader and updated using the ruu.
After the update i unlocked the bootloader and needed some help rooting again.
I tired using the vivid all in one kit(thinking that would be the fastest) from the forum but that just made my phone freeze on the white htc screen.
i just "reinstalled" ics because that was the only way to get my phone to work again (phone works fine now)
So the question- How do i properly root my phone running ics

Someone correct if wrong. I dont think that tool will be compatible with ics. I to have updated to ics and I havent seen a post yet for an easy way to root or re root after upgrading to ics. I hope someone can find a flaw and bring back the one click root, like way back on the incredible with unrevoked.com. plug n click your phone boom all automated.

The easiest way is to use wild child's recovery.

Here is his site. You will have to register but he gives instructions and even a video on how to set it up.

He also provides awesome roms. Just read everything before you do anything!

uh? i dont see the vivid on his site? unless im missing something... whatever happened to just using cwm

You have to register first for the Vivid section to show up.

just got cwm on the phone hope this is helpful to someone else
dl recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img (got mine from the vivid all in one)
do the same you would if you were unlocking bootloader
instead of typing the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin)
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img"
obviously files have to be in the correct area mine are all under c:\
hopefully that helps someone

It is basically the same idea but it is called touch recovery. It also works with gb and ics. Just like poster above said, you have to register to see the vivid section. Just read everything on the process and you will have recovery in no time!

You can also go here:

It gives you information on the newest touch recovery, installation, etc.

now that i have cwm, how do i root my phone?

I think it installs root when you install the recovery. You should see superuser when you boot back up after installation.

No go, no superuser and no root either. tried using titan backup as a tester it says i dont have permissions

I guess I had perm root. Did you look in the dev section and try the root file there?
It's in the superguide.

It is in the stickied section and it is called superguide. It is under the devolopment tab here in the vivid forums.
It has a root file there you can apply in cwm.

oh yeah, ive tried that. the ph39img right?
i get an error saying that my main version is older or something of that sort.
wait nvm realized you were talking about the other one

If you don't figure it out let me know. I am about to play around with my phone and will see if I can figure anything out.

zomg i was being a complete idiot... phone seems to be rooted but titanium backup is still not working...
edit totally fixed
thanks mega

Glad I could help you! Just be careful with updating apps from tb. Try to avoid bringing data from gb to ics because it can cause problems. I would just install apps, you can try apps + data but sometimes it messes with things.

RESOLVED!!!!!
here's how i re-rooted my phone after ics ruu update
Unlock the bootloader following htcdev
dl recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img got mine from the vivid all in one tool (located inside the data folder, im sure you can find the file on this forum but i happened to have the all in one tool)
do the same steps you would if you were unlocking bootloader
instead of typing in cmd "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img"
that will get cwm onto your phone
Next follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
skip down to step 2
follow the steps but IGNORE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PH39IMG.ZIP
just boot into recovery with cwm and install from external sd the vivid_cwm_root ver.2
and voila fin!
this is probably not the most efficient way to do this but this is how i did it
hopefully this is helpful to someone

HTC One Bricked?

Ok so I recently rooted my HTC One and I think I might've bricked my phone. I tried out the Renovate ROM (I think it was the latest version) and it didn't work somehow, and my phone was stuck in boot, so I went into recovery, and factory reset but I accidently checked the button for system and then my OS was deleted. To fix that, I adb pushed Insert Coin ROM and flashed that, but when I booted my phone, it started up fine, but then after 10 seconds or so, the phone would just freeze and then reboot. I went back into recovery adb pushed the stock Sprint HTC One ROM and flashed that and the same thing is happening, but this time, when the phone turns on, it just shows a black screen with the notification bar at the top, and I can't use it in any way. It also freezes and reboots after like 10 second.
TL: DR
My Sprint HTC One keeps on freezing then rebooting after ten seconds, no matter what ROM I try.
Thanks in advance.

Yea....you understand you cant install gsm htc one roms. Thats what you did. Go download a ruu and run it while your in bootloader as i see adb is working for you

I believe I have done the same thing as I am very new to this. Is there a link or something to find this ruu? and doesn't it need to be a certain one?
Like my phone is a Sprint HTC One. I am stuck in a boot loop and no matter what ROM I try it just keeps rebooting? Please any help would be greatly appreciated!

You need to follow the dev instructions. If I were you though, I wouldn't do anything more until you understand some of the risks involved. A phone is a really, really inconvenient thing to have incapacitated when you're learning how to flash. For one, your device wasn't bricked (completely nonresponsive to input); for another, dev instructions are going to tell you to use fastboot (or a toolkit that runs fastboot for you).
Before you start again, you should learn how to use fastboot at the very least, and if you can, adb install/sideload (although it seems you tried that based on the OP). fastboot is often the only thing working if a flash goes awry.
A ROM is a ROM, no matter what device it's for. GSM/CDMA are separate network technologies that power your phone. In the U.S., Sprint and Verizon are the major CDMA carriers, while AT&T, T-Mobile, and essentially the rest of the world use GSM. The easiest way to tell the difference between the two is to remember if you needed a SIM card to activate the phone or not.
However, GSM and CDMA devices are set up differently on the software (and hardware, in terms of radios) side, and if you flash a ROM built for a GSM phone onto a CDMA equivalent, you'll probably break the device. For all intents and purposes, you should consider GSM phones to be wholly distinct devices. Also make sure you're only flashing ROMs built for Sprint, as there are often differences between Sprint and Verizon phones as well.

Thank you for all your information I really do appreciate it. I believe I understand fastboot alot better than when I started. I am starting to understand what I did wrong. I just have a few questions and I think I will be fine to just flash ROMs which is all I really want to do.
1. does it matter if s is off or not?
2. when I do flash a ROM should I flash just the IMG file or the whole ZIP?
I am sorry if this is inconvenient for you or other memebers I do apologize just trying to learn about this flashing ROMS

1) If all you are doing is flashing Roms right now you don't need to s-off.
2) You flash the zip.
and I will second the notion that you should do a lot of reading before you do too much. This is an easy process to screw up if you don't know what you are doing and taking your phone out of commission can be a real pain in the ass.
Good Luck!

We all have to start somewhere. There are some good guides in the forums if you search though that will be a lot more comprehensive than the answers we can give in each individual thread.
1. S-OFF matters if you want to make changes to /system during runtime. For example, if you used a root tool like Titanium Backup to move an app into /system with S-ON, the phone would crash because it detected a security violation (improper programic access to a secured location). S-OFF disables that check. You can still flash ROMs with S-ON though since the protection isn't active to the same extent in recovery, although I think it will block writing to the radio. Don't monkey with it more than you have to though, because it's easy to really screw yourself over with the wrong combination of software (unsigned boot software and S-ON will really brick your phone).
2. Read the thread. Almost all ROMs though are distributed in a flashable .zip, meaning you copy it over to the phone's storage and install through recovery (or use sideload). You shouldn't have to use the .imgs ever, although it's a good trick to know (use fastboot flash <> <>.img) in case something goes wrong. I had to do this recently when my fubared my /system but didn't feel like reflashing the whole ROM, so I extracted system.img from the ROM I used and just pushed that to device.

There was a really good one in one of the threads in the development section, but I can't for the life of me remember what ROM had it posted. I'll take another look for it later, but in the meantime I would try reading on XDA's wiki.

Oh I just remembered one more question. I have Viper ROM currently but if I wanted to ad a different one should I wipe the Viper first and install new one or would it install right over top of the Viper? Thanks any help is appreciated. You have been the best!!!

You can flash over it (which is often called a dirty flash) but you are much better off wiping first. I usually use This tool. Just put it on your sd card and flash it before you flash your new ROM.

[Q] Htc one stuck on bootloader.

Hey guys, I need some help, also Im new to this sorta and I apologize if this thread isnt where its supposed to be, anywho i rooted my phone and was installing different roms, just trying them out, i had installed the android rev HD 12.1 rom on to my HTC One and it was working fine, but I watched a couple of reviews on the viperone roms so i decided to switch over just to check it out, i started the flashing and all was going well at first but then it froze for a good while stuck at 0% so i decided to restart the phone... turns out that was a horrible idea because now my back ups are gone and my other roms are missing too. well that was the original problem, I looked around and everywhere they said I had to reinstall my ruu to basically factory reset the phone and the first step is re-locking the bootloader... so i did, now it says "tampered- re-locked" and every now and then it says "security warning." then i started looking for my comapnies ruu and i cant find one... can anyone help?
i forgot to mention i have a T-Mobile HTC One.

Basically, if you want to stay back on root, i suggest you unlock your bootloader again and reflash your custom recovery and move on from there. After that you should flash a stock rom if you want to,by just searching it up in the htc one forums. After you have done that you probably have to start over, which means making a nandroid backup and NOT FORGETTING TO BACK UP. Your roms and all your info will be gone after you unlock the bootloader so remember to back up all your contacts and such into your google acc. Have fun rooting! XD

This is probably the best advice for you.
Just something I wanted to add,
Unlock your boot loader then flash a custom recovery just like the first time you did it.
Then boot to recovery and "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ " to get a ROM on your phone, and flash away.

You just need to unlock your bootloader again using htc developer page. As long as you can get your phone to bootloader you should be ok. I have never used one of the all in one root etc.. things since it is so easy on htc.

[Q] Accidentally installed GSM ROM on CDMA Sprint HTC One

A couple of days ago I thought it would be a GREAT idea to install a GSM ROM (Android Revolution HD) on my Sprint HTC One. I am now able to go into the recovery and flash a different ROM, but the ROM will boot up but shut down several seconds after reaching the home screen. I have been told that using an RUU might help, but will that work even if my computer doesn't recognize my phone as a USB device? All help is appreciated

Maybe you screwed your radio but i'm not sure this is the answer to your problems... To be able to run a RUU your pc MUST recognize your phone in fastboot mode.

I repaired a friends device that did the same thing. When it boots you will see a lock screen with no wallpaper and then it will shutdown.

There's nothing special about an RUU, it's just a self extracting archive that uses fastboot to flash stuff.
It can be done by hand, such as with a nandroid backup.

I've heard that there's no new version of the Sprint RUU or something, will whatever I have work for it anyway?

If you have S-OFF it will...

These instructions are for the Sprint variant only
You will need to be unlocked and have twrp installed for this to work (I'm posting this here because of my work schedule if you need further assistance PM back hopefully you and Matt can get it working )
1. Follow this guide Guide - Get s-off on 1.31 HTC One (Sprint) Update:
You will get a failed warning after issuing the echo blah blah command this is normal and nothing to be worried about and after the echo command type exit to exit the adb shell and continue.
2. Get the RUU here click the first link in the thread(extract it to your desktop/open it and click setup it will scan your device,go thru the various screens reading the warnings and checking the boxes, once it starts it will take 10-20 minutes to complete) once it's done you will be back to completely stock.
Optional:
Use revone to gain s-off (if you go with this option once you are s-off you won't need to use HTC-Dev to unlock your bootloader because revone does it for you) A sidenote about revone it will fail several times just press the UP arrow on your keyboard to issue the same command and press enter.Watch the cmd window for instructions to reboot and continue.
or flash a Sprint rom from the Sprint forum
Any other questions or concerns post here or PM me
Good Luck

[Q] Tried to get my One back to Stock, gone wrong somehwere

Hi, recently the screen broke on my 2 week old HTC One.
Amazon were kind enough to send me a new one, but I had modded the hell out of the first one (using various online tutorials to root and then ROM it), and now have the need to return it.
So I followed various tutorials to try and restore it back to 100% stock. (Didn't bother making it "Locked" rather than "Unlocked").
What I did was I used the HTC One All-In-One Toolkit, and "relocked bootloader". I then tried to flash the RUU, all went well, but when I try to start it up after, it gives a blank black screen. However, after giving it a while, holding the power button, or pressing the back button sometimes results in a vibration, so I'm presuming that it is starting, but not displaying anything. I was hoping that my phone would come up in windows so I could re-flash twrp and flash Sense that way, but it does not appear.
I tried factory resetting in this state, but when I try boot it up after that, a logo comes up which is a phone, with 2 green arrows forming a circle inside it, then a green arrow pointing down inside that.
Also, flashing twrp.img seems to go well, but when select "recovery", nothing happens, it just seems to boot up normally.
I am now at a loss of ideas, as this process was suggested by all the sources I could find, and it works perfectly for them, see no reason for it not to for me.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please, please respond as quickly as possible, it has to be with Amazon by the 4th, and I have no clue what to do!
Thanks,
-Accudio

yeah i got the point here, just one question, are you S-OFF or not? if yes, which is you bootloader?

No, I'm S-ON, when I first did it I was a bit of a noob, and none of the tutorials I followed said anything about S-ON/S-OFF. Only just found out about it when researching how to put it back. :/

You can't access recovery because your phone is locked, so first off you need to unlock again your phone

OK, I have now unlocked it, I'd flash TWRP now yes?
EDIT: Now flashed TWRP, it's working fine, but how can I transfer the ROM zip across without having a version of android that works?

adb commands work in recovery too.
either use "adp push rom.zip /sdcard/" or use the sideload method

Thanks a lot guys, you've been a great help! 2 more questions for you if you don't mind:
1. The ROM I found doesn't seem to work properly, so have you got any ideas of ROMs of Sense 5, no root, so it will appear to amazon that it is stock, even if it isn't exactly, or do you know where I can get an RUU and how to flash it to get my phone back to exactly stock?
2. This won't be a big deal, but how could I achieve S-OFF to revert my HTC recovery to say "Locked" rather than "Tampered" and "Relocked"
If they aren't possible, no big deal, just would be nice if I can. Again, thanks a ton, you've saved my neck! xD
EDIT: I am downloading a different ROM to try, so hopefully that will work better.

1. Just download a stock odexed rom from the development section. There are many to choose from.
OR
Pick a RUU from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
2. Use this link to do that. Then read the instructions on how to reset the flags.
Did amazon really replace your broken phone for free? Thats what I call customer service. Too bad I bought mine from ATT.
THIRD OPTION:
Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353083
And remove supersu.apk from the zip file before you flash it.

Yeah, I dropped it onto my carpet and the screen cracked pretty majorly, so I contacted HTC pretty annoyed (as you can expect), and they said that I must have had a dodgy model for it to have broken so easily. Amazon was reluctant but because I had HTC's word they sent me a free replacement.

I have HBOOT version 1.54, so as the Revone thread says I cannot use that. Is there any other way or will I just not be able to do it? Had a quick look and couldn't find anything.

ohhh..that might be a problem. How did you manage to get on hboot 1.54? I don't think there is a S-off method for that yet. Do you still have the unlockcode.bin from when you unlocked it the first time?

I don't know, if I remember correctly it was actually on that when I got it, not certain though. I do have my first unlockcode.bin saved.

You should be able to unlock your bootloader again with the unlockcode.
If I'm not mistaken, in order to flash a RUU you need to:
- Flash stock recovery.img through bootloader+fastboot
- Flash stock boot.img through bootloader+fastboot
RUU should flash now whether bootloader is locked, unlocked or relocked.

as long as you used that file to unlock this phone, then it will work.

Ok, I'm getting an error saying:
"Unfortunately, HTC Sense has stopped."
and also
"Unfortunately Contacts Storage has stopped."
I had the Contacts srtorage one with my old S2, which I fixed by clearing data of contacts storage, but the one about HTC sense stops anything from working.

if you have a pc, before you push the rom to your phone, open the zip file and delete the apk in /system/app/supersu.apk
