Bootloader and S-OFF

Just a question, can anybody execute this on an XL with unlocked bootloader using HTCDev and tell me the output please?
Code:
fastboot oem h
cause I was wondering, if we can execute this to get S-OFF as the bootloader is unlocked so it may give us more permissions?:
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 0
Just wondering if it asks for SMART_IO.CRD or not
Any idea guys?

Thank You!
Seems like there is no real way of gaining S-OFF using oem..
I'll get an XL in several days and will see if I can do anything (but I don't really think I'll be able to anyway)!
We'll need to find a signed Engineering hboot that can be flashed to gain S-OFF after that!
Doesn't seem fair from HTC anyway.. They should unlock and S-OFF too in their unlocking process..
it was supposed to be "fastboot oem writesecureflag 0" I wrote it wrong, but anyway, as writesecureflag isn't accessible using oem, so it's useless to try it.
If anybody has any other idea, please share

bootloader and s-off
i exacuted the wright command again "fastboot oem secuerflag 0" but it gave me that same error "bootloader err Command error !!! "
But when i exacuted command " fastboot oem rebootRUU " the sensation xl screen whent black with black and white HTC letters in the midle of the screen,haven't seen that before...

I have XL with bootloader S-Off....tell me please, what I can do, to let you see, what the difference is

bootloader and s-off
icecream 4.0.1 has just been realeased for the sensation xe 1.0 beta version,i'd like to see this rom on the xl,iv had devices with bootloader s-off its bloody fantastic ,all htc's should come with bootloader s-off its a shame,i sapouse it's a waiting game,im shore great minds a working on it, I don't know if the sensation xl came with bootloader s-off in Australia......

yea, it wont work I know!
Its totally normal abt the rebootRUU thing, it just puts the phone in a state that accepts the flashing of any signed (or unsigned I think) images and many other things we may not know! Haha

interesting! may I ask how did you get it?

Would be good to acheive s-off but unlocked bootloader isnt half bad. We have permanent root and at least one custom rom so guess things will get up to speed as more people get the device. Alpha rev should do their thing soon so we can get full control over this device
Sent from my EPAD using xda premium

I got it with it....so, where you can see the difference between a normal and a ship s-offed Bootloader??
tapatraced with Sensation XL

pull the battery and then boot into hboot.Volume down and power.
eng hboot with S-off is hboot version 1.25.2003.

We have tested to do these commands on the s-offed device of jammysunny.
cd/
cd SDK
cd platform-tools
adb devices
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
This worked successfully and we got an hboot.img file of his Device on the SD.
On the next step i tried to install his s-off hboot.img to my s-on device with the following commands:
cd/
cd SDK
cd platform-tools
adb devices
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
This worked successfully too, but my bootloader is the same as before. Its s-on

hboot is useless from S-off device, as our bootloaders are unlocked.
What needs to be done is: get rid of Nand write protection, so we can flash radio's

Setting up a S-OFF donation thread to see who wants to donate and how much, might trigger there interest.
This is been seen on many dev treads, and can run up to few hundrerd euros

[Q] Please Help, Broke my HTC One

So yesterday i bought myself a new HTC ONE phone from Egypt, the original owner used it for just 48 hours then sold it. When i received it i found the SuperUser installed and the OTA updates were not installing sin11ce the phone has been modified.
I followed a tutorial on XDA about getting back to stock rom and after flashing custom recovery and moving the stock rom to SD card i flashed it from recovery and it failed in the process.
Now the phone just boots into recovery, can anyone please post me a quick tutorial on getting the stock firmware back? i would really appreciate it.
Here is the info from the recovery:

Thanks a lot for your reply. I am downloading the RUU now and till it finishes i have a quick question. Why should i change the CID to (0_32) instead of (11111111)?
Thanks again.

because you cant update with cid 11111111
once you have updated you can change it bk to 11111111 if you like:

Flashed my boot loader, but cant finish up and root

So i looked at a bunch of threads but nothing was working out for me so i made a account. I have a ATT M7 running 4.4.2 and sense 6. I unlocked the boatloader, and i type in the commands to start the root process but it does nothing. At first it said cannot load, and somebody on here said that just means you've spelled it wrong. So then i noticed i had 2 different twrp files on my desktop. Deleted the old one and kept the newest one, after that, when i typed in the command, something else came up that i hadn't seen before

I have no idea what this means. My phones wiped bc of the boot loader but i have a back up, but i didn't want to wipe my phone for no reason.
If anybody has anything to contribute that'd be great. Im on mac os x 10.9 btw. Tried to root with PC also but it didn't work bc i didn't have drivers, installed some drivers but that didn't work either so i just gave up and went back to mac.
I did manually move the supersu file to the phone with the pc though

What do you mean put it in ADB folder? Thanks for the response though!!
I renamed it but I'm getting this "cannot load" message again. I read on here that all that means is that i spelled it wrong

your recovery image must be in the same folder where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe on your PC, otherwise, fastboot will not find the recovery image.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

you are right, my bad. same principle apply. recovery image must be in the same folder you have adb and fastboot (not adb.exe) and you may have to use ./ before each command
Code:
./fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
./fastboot erase cache
./fastboot reboot-bootloader

Yeah that helped a bit bc i had like 3 twrp image files, i have one now and its still telling me it cannot load.
so frustrating! I messed up though because when i was first rooting it i was following like 2 guides, should've followed one. Its not bricked right?

I recommend you not use the latest twrp but to use ther version 2.6.3.3.
Now the screen you got (from your first post) is the help menu. It appear each time you enter an invalid command fastboot command.
so again make sure your recovery image (twrp 2.6.3.3) is in the same folder you have adb and fastboot on your mac.
with your phone in bootloader mode enter the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
you might have to add ./ before each command (depending how you have install your fastboot/adb on your mac)
now if it fail again, please post a screenshot of your terminal window and post a screenshot of your adb/fastboot folder.

my bad i was uploading them

i had like 3 android folders, but this is one that worked and would recognize the commands because this is the folder that installed my mac adb drivers. I downloaded like two other ones from tutorials but trashed them.

i also tried the ./ method, getting the same result

if anybody helps me out and it works I'll seriously donate $20. This has caused me a incredible amount of frustration and needs to get done

have you changed directory (cd) in the terminal to the correct path where you have adb and fastboot? I see your adb, fastboot and recovery are in a folder named "android". you have censored a part of the terminal windows (probably the user name, so your name) so i can not see if your terminal is pointing the correct folder in your case "android". if this folder is on your dekstop then
Code:
cd Desktop/android [COLOR="Red"]or[/COLOR] cd /Users/<yourusername>/Desktop/android
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
"can not load" error is because fastboot can't find the file
cause 1: file name miss-typed --->not your case
cause 2: file doesn't exist --->not your case
cause 3: not working from the correct path ---> might be your issue
cause 4: double file extension (more common on windows) i.e recovery.img.img (the second .img is hiden by the OS) --> might also be your issue, im not very familiar with mac so i dont know if the OS hide file extension for known file type like on windows
edit: looks like it also possible on a mac to have double file extension:
For one file
Select a file and choose File > Get Info or press Command (⌘)–I.
Click the triangle next to Name & Extension to expand the section and see the filename extension for the file.
To show or hide the filename extension, select or deselect “Hide extension.”
For all files
Choose Finder > Preferences, and then click Advanced.
Select or deselect “Show all filename extensions.”
Some filename extensions can’t be hidden. For example, images imported from a digital camera may continue to show the .jpg extension even after you deselect “Show all filename extensions.”

New to forum - Help Required

I got a HTC phone from a friend and I do not know how to find out the model. Also it does not have an OS on it and I am looking to find out how to install one. I read a few of the threads and could not figure out what the terms meant. Such as OTG, RUU,ADB, TWRP, ETC. So I am not able to follow. Please assist me if you can.

You say it doesn't have an OS on it, so it's basically a blank device that you need to install an OS on.
Th easiest way for us to identify it would be for you to take a photo of it and post it here for us to look at. Once we know what model of HTC you have, we can easily help you get Android back on there.
Or if you can find it on the HTC website, that would help. Or even Google somewhere.

I found that it is an HTC One M7.

Ah in that case, take a look in our HTC One M7 forums: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one
In "HTC language", an RUU is a ROM, which is what you need in order to flash the OS back onto your device.
I haven't owned an HTC for a number of years now, so I can't recall the place place to find stock firmware (RUU) files.
I will move this thread to the M7 Q&A forum for you, so that hopefully someone else can assist you further.
It will probably help if you can let us know which region you are from, as firmware is often region specific. Which country?

We"ll need a bit more info to indentify your phone. If you dont already have adb and fastboot installed on your computer, Google search for "minimal adb and fastboot". You should find an xda thread explaining how to set up adb and fastboot. Once done youll also need to install HTC drivers. It can be done by installing HTC Sync manager from htc's website. Then connect your phone using the usb calbe, boot in bootloader mode (power + volume down). Start the minimal adb and fastboot terminal window and type "fastboot getvar all" (without the quotes. Post the output of that command in this thread (take care to remove the imei and serialno lines before posting).

There is a mismatch between your version-main and your cid/mid. The version-main (firmware version) is an old at&t version but your cid/mid are set to accept t-mobile firmware. That will be easy to fix but first what OS do you want on your phone? The latest official Sense rom (lollipop 5.0.2), latest GPE rom (lollipop 5.1) or latest custom rom (Nougat 7.1)?

From what I understand it originally was an AT&T phone that was switched to T-Mobile. As for which OS. I am not picky so whichever is easiest and then I guess the newest.
Thanks again.

Is there a custom recovery installed on your phone, like TWRP or CWM?
Boot your phone in bootloader mode then select "recovery" and hit the power button. If you don't see "recovery'' that's because you"re booted in "fastboot" menu, in this case select "bootloader" and you should see the "recovery" option.
Your phone will reboot in recovery mode, just need to know what recovery is installed for now. If your phone is running stock recovery you will see an exclamation mark in a red triangle, otherwise you'll see TWRP splash screen or CWM menu. If booting to TWRP or CWM please report back what version number it is.

Good, we can fix your CID and MID first. You can use this guide to write supercid to your phone. WIth your phone in bootloader mode (in the fastboot menu) Start the minimal adb and fastboot terminal then follow the guide from step 9 - 12.
Then to change your MID reboot in recovery and type:
Code:
adb shell
and
Code:
echo -ne '\x50\x00\x4e\x00\x30\x00\x37\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=1 seek=16384
Better to copy/paste that one...
Then reboot in bootloader mode again and confirm your mid is now PN0710000 (your can use the "fastboot getvar all" command)
Download this firmware and save it in the same location where minimal adb and fastboot.exe is installed on your computer
WIth your phone in bootloader mode (fastboot menu) type (the command is case sensitive btw):
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Your phone will reboot in RUU mode, you should see a black screen with a silver HTC logo
type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
Should take a few seconds before saying : FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately).
So do the same command again:
Code:
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
The second time, it should take a few minutes and you'll see "okay" at the end, then proceed with
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Back in bootloader mode again, confirm your version-main is now 7.19.401.2 (use "fastboot getvar all")
If everything went fine you can proceed to the final steps:
Download this RUU and this version of htc_fastboot.exe and save both files in the same folder where you already have minimal adb and fastboot.exe.
reboot again in ruu mode:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
and once there type:
Code:
htc_fastboot flash zip RUU_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.51_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_458803_signed.exe
The flash should take a while and your phone will reboot once during the process. Once 100% done you can reboot the phone and it will boot in the OS (android 5.0.2 with HTC Sense)

WIth your phone in bootloader mode (fastboot menu) type (the command is case sensitive btw):
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Your phone will reboot in RUU mode, you should see a black screen with a silver HTC logo
type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
Should take a few seconds before saying : FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately).
So do the same command again:
Code:
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
The second time, it should take a few minutes and you'll see "okay" at the end, then proceed with
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Back in bootloader mode again, confirm your version-main is now 7.19.401.2 (use "fastboot getvar all")
If everything went fine you can proceed to the final steps:
Download this RUU and this version of htc_fastboot.exe and save both files in the same folder where you already have minimal adb and fastboot.exe.
reboot again in ruu mode:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
and once there type:
Code:
htc_fastboot flash zip RUU_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.51_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_458803_signed.exe
The flash should take a while and your phone will reboot once during the process. Once 100% done you can reboot the phone and it will boot in the OS (android 5.0.2 with HTC Sense)

The first step changing the CID worked. But when I tried to change the MID I had a problem. When you say boot into recovery do you mean go into recovery from the hdboot screen? The only way adb can find the phone is from the fastboot screen. here is what I get when in recovery :
adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
And when in Fastboot:
adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found
Also, When I boot into fastboot the phone is identified as Android in devices and the HTC Sync Manager finds it. In hdboot or recovery it is identified as "one" and HTC Sync Manager cannot find it.
Sorry for all the difficulties.
Thank you.

try with twrp recovery instead, you can download it from here and as usual, save it in the same folder where you have your minimal adb/fastboot.exe installed
to flash twrp, boot in bootloader mode (fastboot menu)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then select "recovery" and wait for twrp to boot (you'll see a twrp splash screen, then the twrp main menu. With your phone in twrp main menu, you should be able to use the adb commands.

I cannot figure out where ADB is located. The program I have installed allows me to use it from anywhere. Here is what shows up when I open the powershell. Isn't there a way to open the shell in any folder?

I figured out how to start shell in a folder and was able to get TWRP to install. This is what I got.

Now with TWRP loaded I get a message about a partition. DoI want to have a parition??
Unmodified system partition
Keep system read only?
TWRP can leave your system partition unmodified to make it easier for you to take official updates. TWRP will be unable to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP and will not offer to root you device.
installing zips or performing adb operations may still modify the system partition.
Now when I run code: "adb shell" this is what shows:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
~ # 
And it just stays there.

That is exactly what you want, you can now type your commands.
~ #  is the prompt telling you that you are root user from adb shell.

Is this correct?

Will be easier to use the old terminal window (cmd.exe) instead of the powershell. You can call cmd.exe directly from the powershell by typing cmd.exe
