ADB Noob Help

So somehow I've been using Android and root fastboot etc but I've never understood ADB push. I'm trying to obtain s-off for my T-Mobile Htc One but I can't find instructions dumbed down enough beginning to end to follow. I am familiar with the s-off thread I'm just new to the process. I would appreciate somebody explaining to me how and what I need to do specifically begin and follow through with the steps. Again thanks for the help

revone is simple

Disregard Everyone perseverance paid off and I get everything accomplished. MOD please close this thread or delete. Thanks !

Revone itself wasn't the problem it was my lack of ADB command knowledge. All is good now I'm S-Off and got rid of the tampered indication!

awesome bro!!! glad you got it. just remember dont s-on with out stock h-boot or you will hard brick

I don't believe I changed the h-boot unless that's apart of gaining S-off through the process

yea when you said tampered i thought you meant the red writing on the splash screen

[Q] 4.3 Sprint RUU

Hi, I was wondering if there was going to be an RUU for 4.03.651.2 firmware. I tried to take the update with an outdated version of TWRP, and I would like to go back to stock and reroot. I have tried and failed to gain S-Off with Revone and moonshine. I am unsure of what to do. My phone is not recognized by ADB in recovery, so I cannot use the S-Off workaround to flash an old RUU. Any suggestions/responses are appreciated.
Thanks,
Vobeyo

Hmm... I just assumed that there wouldn't be an RUU for 1.31. Do you know of any way to gain S-Off so that I can flash the 1.29 RUU?

RUU
This can be very frustrating, I know.
I used Moonshine to achieve S-OFF, yesterday. Reason was because I managed to delete almost everything, I still don't know exactly what happened. However, if I remember correctly, you need S-On in order to run a stock RUU. There are several threads that pretty much will walk you thru the steps needed to flash the RUU. I was on them yesterday.
Good luck.

You don't need S-Off or S-On to run the RUU, but the bootloader has to be locked (or relocked). Believe that I read that HTC was going to not release RUUs any more because they didn't want others to tear them apart, etc. But don't quote me on that one...

From my understanding, S-Off is required to flash an RUU for a firmware version that does not match the version you are currently on. Could you please refer me to one of these threads? I would appreciate it very much.

I've also heard the same however how can I gain S-Off without mounting the internal storage? Or ADB? I can't get either to work.

I believe that if you have a custom recovery installed, you can use the workaround by accessing the terminal from the recovery, type the command, and then lock the bootloader. I am not completely sure on that, though.

If your on 4.3 there is no RUU and no s-off exploit at this time. This is why it's always recommended to root/s-off before you update.

If you updated your phone to latest sprint 4.3 that's it you cannot instal RUU any more
s-on s-off not gonna help you
you can download naked drivers for htc one http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachd...river_0.72.zip but first delate/uninstal all htc/syn drivers
and jus push any 4.3 rooted rom to your phone and install g-luck

Don't know if this will help you or not, just stumbled across it a couple of minutes ago.

[Q] How do i get busybox on the stock rom ?

i kinda already got setup, unlocked, and everything on the stock rom, since this phone (and other htc phones) is/are "system locked" how do i get busybox on this? i figured they would stick through recovery but i cant seem to find a flashable busybox xbin/bin, and i know there USED to be a way to bypass the system lock but it used to cause kernel panics, what do i do ?
ive tried using moonshine but as i posted in that thread it just freezes after Test 2 at ERROR: ADB failure

You need to have S-OFF to install busybox via the actual app or you can just manually flash it via recovery.

Moonshine is the only way, just do it lol it's extremely easy. I've ruu'd my first countless times already and turned s-off many times too no problems.
Here's the thread I used to flash busybox before I turned my s-off though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44175626
First I downloaded busybox from the playstore then I flashed it.

Care to elaborate on your solution?

I used something called RUMRUNNER , I believe the url is something like rumrunner.us , anyways it uses similar commands as moonshine and similar website , but anyways since moonshine didn't work they recommended rumrunner on the irc and it worked perfect , the only thing though is that it caused a soft-brick which the only solution is to Relock the bootloader , which is fine because even with a lock boot loader you should still be able to flash roms and I think flash recoveries (I don't know just pick a custom recovery that you like just in case you can't later) and yeah that was it.
Oh another thing, if for some unknown reason you DONT wanna relock the boot loader (which keeps S-off after locking) then none of the roms based off stock will work, only the sense ports worked while unlocked and s-off for me.
But yeah this may not happen to everyone, just sharing my solution to a boot loop / soft brick if it happens to anyone who reads this as well.

[Q] S OFF Help please

I am rooted unlocked. I have tried to get s off using revone and it failed. I have the M7 with HBOOT 1.57 and software 5.03.651.3, sense 6. I can not find a method to gain S OFF for this setup. Can someone tell me if there is a way?
I also cannot install xposed frame work following the instructions for the HTC One apk and .zip.
Am I alone or are others having the same issues?
TIA

I think firewater will work with a custom kernel
as far as xposed it should work ok. I've been using it right along but I have an engineered bootloader.shouldn't make any difference
you install xposed framework as an apk, not a zip, install the apk like any other apk then install the framework from within the apk and reboot to activate

@Aldo101t I think it'll work if you flash CM11.
EDIT: Not 100% sure though, but I'll read around and see what I can find. If I remember correctly, firewater uses a kernel exploit so it does depend on what ROM you use. Kangaroo Kernel for example, since it uses the newest stuff is not supported by firewater.
EDIT2: Got some proof to back my claim.

First, I was stuck at the white HTC Logo thing, and that was cause I was missing the radio somehow. I got the latest from here and flashed it in recovery.
Then I flashed this ROM.
Then I flashed this Kernel. <-- Important!
Then follow the firewater instructions, and it should work first time.

Thanks for confirming that you can get s off- But I do not want to put a custom rom or kernel on, hard to believe this is the only way to get S off with HB 1.57
Curious though- does firewater or any other methods allow you to turn it back to S on and remove the *TAMPERED* flag like revone does?
Also the kernel you posted says its for JB roms- I have KK.

What if?

Would creating a twrp backup of my stock rom and kernel, then installing a custom kernel to use firewater for S OFF, Could I return to the stock kernel via TWRP and would the phone remain in S OFF?

you cant downgrade your HBOOT whilst s-on, so you need to get s-off first, the only way to s-off HBOOT 1.57 is to use sunshine and will cost $25. http://theroot.ninja/

yes as far as I know it works on 1.60, sunshine will check your phone first though before you pay so no need to worry, if it cant s-off your phone then you don't pay, if it can then you pay and it continues.
