[Q] S-OFF problem for Nexus One

I used a XTC CLIP to unlock my Nexus One. It was done and the HBOOT showed S-OFF, but I cannot excute fastboot command to flash recovery. It showed FAILED not allowed. That seemed the phone wasn't really S-OFF. Is there anyone could help please?
HBOOT 0.35.0017
I was just upgrade to 2.3.6

Did you do "fastboot oem unlock"? You have S-OFF but does not mean your bootloader is unlocked. If you don't like the lock on your bootscreen, you can do "fastboot oem lock" to lock up the bootloader after you have flashed your recovery. This is possible when you have S-OFF.

I don't want to excute "fastboot oem unlock" because I don't want to lose my data. Is there any way to unlock my Nexus One by using XTC Clip? What should I do?

No, there is none. But there's another way.
You can use BLACKROSE hack in the Development section to use engineering commands and fastboot flash without having to execute fastboot oem unlock, if you're worried about losing data.

Thank you very much. I want to backup my /data folder so I need root my phone. That's why I wanted my phone to be S-OFF. Is there a way to root my phone without unlock the bootloader? The BLACKROSE hack needs S-OFF or Root first and I cannot do that.

Sorry, but you are out of luck. There is no way to back up your data if you are on 2.3.6 with a locked bootloader and without root.

can anyone tell me whether the below process will make the bootloader locked again.
i have backed up the stock rom version 2.2 using CM Recovery
if i restore to 2.2 and update the same to 2.3.6 will i have my locked bootloader again.
please revert.

No. You cannot relock your bootloader that way.

I'll say it again: there is a thread in the N1 development forum with Blackrose in the title. You can download what you need in the first post. If you can't find it, I suggest you spend some time searching instead of trying to flash custom bootloaders.

I tried fastboot flash hboot #### method also, but it failed "signature verify" . My aim is to partition system memory to 220. so that i can install full ICS on nexus one.
I see still S-off in my bootloader. Pls help.

[Q]Ice Cream Sandwich to Gingerbread?

Is there any way for me to downgrade my ISC to GB?

Flash the GB ROM and corresponding kernel of your choice. You just can't go back to the old hboot... but can still flash GB ROMS on the new hboot.

Thanks for the help but I do not have my phone rooted right now. I've been trying for like the past hours with the all in one kit from hasooon, but I cannot seem to get it to work. I have unlocked my bootloader already. Would that be the reason why?

Could be. I'm pretty sure you need to relock your bootloader before running the RUU...

Is there a way to relock my bootloader? Also, I was trying from your superguide eariler but I just got super confused. If you could help me, that would be great.

I actually have ICS updated from GB today with the new AT&T. Now that I've updated my OS, I have no idea how to root my phone anymore because there are only posts for 2.3.4 GB. I've actually tried the permroot from hasoon, but I can't seem to get that to work.

Well, to relock the bootloader, you can either use hasoon2000's Vivid All-In-One Toolkit, which has pretty much everything you need to relock the bootloader.
Otherwise, you boot into the bootloader and into fastboot, and follow the steps for relocking the bootloader in part 6 of the Superguide.

I actually have a question. I can't boot into bootloader by holding down power and down volume...

Successfully relocked my bootloader. Many thanks!
Okay now to root my phone. Could you tell me the exact steps to do it? I am having a lot of trouble. I run it with debugging USB on, it will then restart my phone, first it will appear something like a circle with a down arrow inside it. Afterwards, there will be a triangle icon that's red with another arrow. On the Command, it will say device not found for all files then press any key.
Appreciate your help!

You need to unlock your bootloader once again. Then root it. Use the All-In-One toolkit, it will be much easier.
unlock bootloader > then flash the wcx recovery and that should root it.

So all I need to do is unlock bootloader once again, flash the wcx recovery, then I'll be good to go. I think the reason is because I flashed the first CMW recovery. That may be the reason.

Yea, the CWM is a bad idea on the Vivid. Wildchild did a very good job with his WCX recovery. Just unlock your phone again, then click the flash WCX recovery. Wildchild made his recovery so that when flashed, it would automatically give root.

I actually downgraded my phone from ICS to GB. I rooted my phone with zergrush. With my phone unlocked, now it went from temproot, to permroot. I am actually trying to find a rom for my phone that I can play around with without getting bored. I want to just leave it as S-On instead of off. Hope you can help with a little bit with that.

How to gain root with S-Off but bootloader locked

Hi,
My device is currently S-Off. I don't have root anymore and I relocked my bootloader. I'd like to be able to remove the test device message but all the links I found requires to have root or to go back to S-On. I tried using HTC DEV to unlock my bootloader again to flash custom recovery and then to flash supersu.zip but it didn't unlock my bootloader. I also tried to just do a fastboot boot customrecovery.img and also didn't work. Any idea if with S-Off, bootloacker relocked, no root access, I can removed the HTC test device message?
thanks

Check out this thread on unlocking your bootloader without HTCDev. If you are able to do that, then you should be able to flash a custom recovery. You can use the Guru Bootloader Reset tool to remove the tampered sign and I think the test device will go away.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was referring to but I can't run that since I don't have root access. If there could be a temporary way of getting root access with a locked bootloader and s-off, that could probably work to use what's being said in your link

1) Which is the best recovery? C-Mod or TWRP or any other, i mean i want that to support maximum number of stable roms and that is widely used by developers. Can you suggest me a link?
AND
2) For any rooting procedure you first have to S-Off, then unlock the bootloader, root, then install a recovery and flash a ROM..........right?
AND
3) How to be S-Off and rooted and have Locked as a message on the bootloader?

Have you tried Weak Sauce to get root? I thought about it after reading about firewater s-off. This is a temp-root.

Yes I tried but as soon as I opened the app it crashed. oh well, doesn't really matter. I'm selling the phone as is (I bought the M8 )

if you're still looking for this, root access is available in custom recovery (so no need to mess with the ROM), and with s-off you can flashed a masked firmware using ruu mode:

[Q] Is it possible to root my HTC One M7?

Hello,
I need help. So I have a regular Verizon HTC One M7 running on 5.0.2 with Sense 6. I want to know if it's possible to root this yet. I've looked everywhere and can't find any luck. Does anyone know if it's possible yet and if so, how? I'm kind of a noob when it comes rooting (first time) so I really don't know what to be looking for. Also, do I have to pay for S-off (What does that even do?) or can I root without it?
Thanks to anyone who tries to help

Google sunshine s off, that will be your best bet, after you get s off u probably unlock boot loader , then using a custom recovery you can root. Verizon is a pain when it comes to rooting

Well the only way you can be able to flash a custom ROM is by gaining S-OFF on this one so that means you will have to pay $25 for sunshine and then install a custom recovery then you can flash the ROMs found in the development forum for the Verizon HTC One. If you are having problems with sunshine as you said that you are on the latest software update from Verizon, you can see this thread for help. Here's an article talking about S-OFF. You might want to check it out. Lastly, you must be wondering why the users of the HTC One from Verizon has to achieve S-OFF before everything else. It's because Verizon has locked the M7 down making it impossible to unlock using HTC Dev and the only way to be able to flash a custom ROM is by getting S-OFF'ed and getting your bootloader unlocked using sunshine.
You can flash a custom recovery by using fastboot and typing the following command in the command line.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recoveryName>.img
In where <recoveryName> is the name of the custom recovery image you are going to flash.
Good luck!

You'll need to
achieve temp root
use sunshine to unlock the bootloader / s-off --->25$
flash a custom recovery (TWRP)
and you can root flashing latest supersu.zip in custom recovery
Im sure there is some threads in the Verizon HTC One forum explaining how to achieve temp root

I don't need S-off because I don't have plans to add a rom. I just want to give apps root access. Can I use HTCDev.com to unlock my bootloader?
EDIT: I read what the guy above me said. I guess I have to pay for Sunshine.

yes its pure stock. you need to unlock bootloader .. and when return you need to relock it.
here are the commands for locking and relocking, and placing twrp temporary root it and then you are all set.
i use this method
go to where it says
Bootloader OEM Unlock + Root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/stock-h811-20i-images-kdz-flashable-t3308227
I was able to Lock the bootloader.
1. I connected the phone to my PC
2. Powered on the Phone (it took a few tried of pulling the battery and powering on)
3. Check the box for OEM Unlock in Dev. Option
4. Use Minimal ADB and Fastboot and type in
Quote:
adb devicecs
- you should see the phone listed as one of the devices in the command line window
Quote:
adb reboot bootloader
- phone should reboot and you shouold see 3 lines of text on top
Quote:
fastboot oem lock
- nothing will happen on the phone, but on in the commandline it should say that it is done
Quote:
fastboot reboot
Phone reboots and the boot screen does not show the unlocked bootloader message anymore

Going to try right now...actually better wait til after work tommorrow. Need it for alarm and tv time.. Just in case something happens.

https://dl.twrp.me/h811/
and rename it to twrp.img so the command should be renamed to twrp.img
have it on sd card. and hwen it boot you to twrp do install, then semlect botom right IMAGE and find the location the twrp is and select it and flash it , it will ask in a window select revocery .. and you are done with twrp installed permanent.
