[AlphaRev] = FULL ROOT, AlphaRev soon to WILDFIRE (Proved working!)

HTC implemented security on their newer generation phones. This flag, called @secuflag, controls whether your phone has
it's NAND or flash unlocked. Most noticeably, S-ON (security on) will read-lock your /system and /recovery partition, to name a few. Also, secuflag controls whether zip files being flashed through recovery or fastboot, are signed by HTC.
The now notorious S-OFF (security off) will disable this NAND security.
Since we are unable to access the Radio NVRAM itself (where secuflag is stored), we turned our attention to HBOOT.
AlphaRev has patched HBOOT images for several phones, whereas the HTC Desire (GSM) was our first victim.
Soon to be supported devices:
HTC Legend GSM
HTC Aria GSM (Liberty)
HTC Wildfire GSM (Buzz)
The following patches were made:
First and foremost, the security flag is ignored. HBOOT now always thinks the phone is S-OFF.
Second, Fastboot extended commands are enabled. This is similar to engineering HBOOTS, these allow you to use commands like 'fastboot flash system system.img' (flashing a system image), or 'fastboot boot boot.img' (downloading and directly booting a kernel image and ramdisk).
Is there any risk involved?
Yes, there is. Flashing HBOOT will flash a critical part of your phone, if that gets corrupted, your phone WILL be bricked.
We do not accept any responsibility for bricked phones, even though we've attempted to make the actual flashing method as safe as possible.
If your phone no longer turns on anymore, please return to HTC for warranty purposes.
Should you still run this hack/program, you then hereby accept full responsibility.
So how does this work?
The image provided is an ISO image. You can either burn that on CD, and boot it. Instructions will be provided when you run the CD.
The actual tool is packaged in a Linux livecd, to ensure maximum compatibility.
On a sidenote: yes, you should be able to run this in VMWare or Virtualbox, as long as you enable the USB device to be routed to the livecd running.
Will my phone stay S-OFF forever?
Yes and no. As soon as you decide to flash a stock RUU that has a HBOOT update in it, this hacked HBOOT will be overwritten.
You do have the option to remove the HBOOT update from the rom.zip inside the RUU. Since your phone no longer checks signatures, you could easily do that.
Also, you then still have the option to flash custom recovery, or different kernels using the fastboot functions described above (fastboot flash, et al).

That means we can flash new roms (or single images) via `adb fastboot [...]`?
Great news tho.

I have a smile on my dial, was kickin meself last week when i put on the RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_142189_signed rom and found I could no longer flash stuff.
Gonna make sure I never flash a boot image again once this is done.

Isn't this what Unrevoked Forever does?

[SOLVED]Can't unlock bootloader-fake Hong Kong HTC One version

After a lot of troubles I finally determined that my HTC One is actually a fake Hong Kong custom version with different hardware but amazingly similar look. If your HTC One:
- doesn't have Sense preinstalled,
- lack proper identification,
- came with BeatsAudio headphones,
- is made of plastic,
- has Chinese factory mode,
- different barebone bootloader
- and anything else which doesn't look right in regard to HTC One
There's even post on Engadget.
It's probably fake...
After I found that I have different bootloader then usual one I tried to unlock it but when I come to 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token' step cmd just outputs tree dots so I left it for a while but nothing happens after that. It's same for every other oem command. Device is recognized by fastboot and every command that I try works like it should, 'fastboot reboot' reboots device, 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' boots to bootloader, 'fastboot -w' clears userdata and cache so it doesn't seem that adb and drivers aren't set properly.

Where did you get this one?

I got it second hand but I checked via IMEI and H/P on HTC site and they say it's valid device from England.

Have you tried the Revone S-Off method, I know it's still in early stages, but it worked great for me.
No need for the OEM token method if you use it.
I know it took a few tries but just keep at it and you shoul get there

Thanks for answer, I already tried that but I keep getting same error all over time which other users don't get(as far as I saw)

I kept on getting errors even following the instructions to the T. it took me about 2 and a half hours of trying-rebooting and trying again.
But which errros are you recieving?

I always get error code 1

try this unlock toolkit by hasoon2000 .. worked for me ..

Thanks, tried that too but didn't help.

The only other thing I could suggest is to go back to stock with an RUU and try it all again bro

Yea...I gave a try to that too but I can't figure out CID and other needed ID, getvar in fastboot display nothing related to CID and as I said in main post I can't execute oem commands for flashing. Anything else...

From you've said it's either a custom HBOOT or it's a fake...

If I flash other HBOOT and something go wrong, can I fix things? You can't access fastboot without it and stock recovery is pretty useless.

[Q] Stuck On White HTC Boot Screen PLEASE HELP!!!

When I first turn on it'll stay stuck in HTC white screen logo till battery dies.
If I hold volume rocker and power button to try to factory reset it'll try to initiate but then show and a phone logo with red exclamation mark.
I am almost positive i can restore this phone to working order because i remember a while back i put a galaxy s3 into similar condition and restored it using a program.. Ive been out of this stuff for a while so i forgot how i did it with the s3.
I WAS GIVEN THIS HTC AND IT WAS LIKE THIS WHEN I GOT IT.

Don't worry, this problem has cropped up before, and you're right, it is fixable. This is most commonly attributed to some weirdness with the boot.img flashed to your phone. Firstly, do you have a Vivid, Velocity, or Raider? And what provider does it use (e.g. AT&T)?
The first thing you'll want to try and do is pop out the battery, put it back in, then hold "volume down" and "power" until you get to the bootloader (it sounds like you've already gotten there):

}
You'll notice in the top portion, mine says "unlocked". Yours may say this, but may also say "locked" or "re-locked".
First thing's first; you'll want to download FASTBOOT (http://www.mediafire.com/download/9ylow29klhccc0x/Fastboot.zip)
and the HTC drivers (this is what I had in my flashing folder, so I upped it to mega: https://mega.co.nz/#!CV5RxY7L!Z_VNph4KoGyYKJJjoUCGPAFZ7xZPOWRbvH2UKsCXCi0)
just run the htc drivers and follow directions, nothing too major. Extract the contents of "fastboot.zip" to somewhere that's easy to access and remember (such as c:\FASTBOOT).
We're not going to do anything yet, this is just preparation.
If your bootloader is "locked" or "re-locked", then you can try restoring the original firmware with RUU. You'll want to read this thread first though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562890
Always need to be careful.
If you are "unlocked", then you need to boot your phone into the bootloader, select "fastboot" (by pressing power when "fastboot" is highlighted), and connect the phone to your computer via a data usb cable. Then, open a command prompt window, and type in: "<c:\FASTBOOT\fastboot.exe> oem lock", where <c:\FASTBOOT\fastboot.exe> is replaced with the location of your fastboot.exe.
I would recommend flashing the recovery image located in the thread I linked to just before (follow instructions provided), and only THEN applying an RUU update. Which RUU you apply is dependent on which device you have.
If anything is unclear, or you have any questions, PLEASE ask in reply to this post; it's better to go slowly and be sure of what you're doing.
sidenote:
I noticed you said you had previously owned an S3 and managed to fix the problem with that; if you are pretty familiar with flashing roms, you can also try to flash a custom ROM and see if that fixes your problem (guides should be on Vivid General or Q&A).

So you've flashed a verizon hboot on your sprint phone ?
There's still a slim chance to save your phone. even if nothing is displayed on your screen, the hboot might be there and if yes, you should be able to use fastboot commands to flash back the correct verizon hboot. You'll either need to use a Windows 7 pc, Linux or Mac. Windows 8/10 is a no go with hboot 1.44 (fastboot commands won't work). So get your hands on a Win7 pc, install the appropriate drivers and check if your devices is detected with the "fastboot devices" command..

Le S3 x626 bricked issue

Hi, I have checked this thread as I experienced the same issue(If confused what I'm talking about read
www chinaphonearena com/forum/Thread-Question-LeEco-Le-S3-X626-Helio-X20-Bricked ), I was able to get past the phone buttons not working and was able to flash a new firmware. But this led to another issue considering the system.
For one, I am unable to unlock my bootloader, I just receive the error : FAILED (remote: unlock operation is not allowed), and there is no way fro me to get in my android as it always stays on the LeEco POWERED BY ANDROID screen, which then shuts down and reboots.#
As well as this, the display is now very unusual: the LeEco logo is coloured green white and yellow, the display is flipped horizontally and mirrored vertically.

You need to power the phone and wait till boots. Enter the flipped UI enable developer mode and unlock the bootloader.
All the control are flipped so be patient.
After that enter fastboot and flash the original rom

Thanks for the reply, I fixed the issue the same day, I just fixed it using the second part to tickernel's red light unbrick tutorial, I completely missed it out. The rom I was using where everything was inverted was just to unbrick the phone, then after I'd have to flash the rom provided by tickernel to fix. It worked again and an advantage was that there was no more ORANGE state, I didn't have to patch to hide the message nor wait the 5 seconds, so now I can flash custom roms on my phone without the message. The method you provided wasn't the fix, before opening this thread I double checked and saw your method, but thanks anyway .

it was necessary to use a mirror. for example, in the bathroom

after bad ressurects i return my device le x626. to le x620 with eui 5.8.018S (stab.) it works normal. But was some bugs with 4g on (turn phone off) and google programs don's start.
But i fixed it all, now it works great, but i think is it bad?

take the stock firmware 28. and install. why use the old version? maybe get my firmware.
to use google apps. you need to download google installer, then after installation, in the settings give permissions to all Google apps.
and correctly to do so: to install firmware, then to start system and to configure it. and then only install the google gapps.

Update on unbrick
With my phone unbricked, it now works perfectly. But now the battery drains very fast. It drops by around 25% in less than half an hour with normal use such as watching videos on youtube in "360p" with all my apps closed, but still the battery drains. I have tried flashing different roms and clearing all partitions in twrp and flashing the CUOCO AND WOLFRED x.28s custom stock roms, but still the issue persists. This is very unusual as before my phone bricked, the battery would hold up for at least an hour before falling by 10 to 20 %. Does anyone have any speculations on why or any fixes? Please help.
UPDATE: I fixed by flashing the international version system.img only if you need it send me a message and I'll put up a link.
