[Q] Rooting hboot .98 and 2.3.4??

EDIT: Nevermind... sorry for the post. By all accounts - no stable (non bootlooping) method to root as of yet. Sorry again. Thanks.
So the wife just picked up a Dinc2 (free upgrade) and I want to root her so we can backup/restore apps and such.
The phone came with:
- hboot .98
- android 2.3.4
- software 6.01.605.05 017RD
I was going to follow the directions provided by nat3mil here to downgrade and root: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgIYFGcVimU&feature=plcp
My concern is that much of this information I'm finding is a bit old and I don't know if the processes still work with the newest (presumably) software.
Can anyone shed any light on the subject? Thanks!

HTCDev unlock will work perfectly with no bootloops but voids warranty, I heard XTC Clip will also do the trick if you're willing to pay for it. Bootloops are only on Sense ROMs btw with the tacoroot method, AOSP is fine.

Rename this file to PG32IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23303294/4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC3.zip
Put this file in the root of your sdcard, you don't need to change it: http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
Boot into the bootloader, and wait for it to recognize the zip, then hit vol up to flash it. Boot into recovery and flash the other zip you put on your sdcard, then reboot normally, open Superuser and update the su binary, and you have root. Make sure you delete the PG32IMG.zip after you're done.

It recognized the zip
But doesn't give the option of flashing it
It is stuck on Checking

Odd. Check the md5sum, maybe you got a bad download? I'm getting a42bfe0c0a92ad2790467a1393a804b4.

Try just extracting the recovery_signed.img from the zip and flash it with fastboot, "fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img"

It worked!!!!!!
never have used that recovery before usually CWM or twrp
i actually had to type this
Code:
C:\>cd/Makbak
C:\Makbak>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Makbak>fastboot oem rebootRUU
... OKAY [ 0.310s]
finished. total time: 0.310s
C:\Makbak>fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img

Thank you very much!

Interesting. If it worked, it worked, I guess lol. Yes, 4EXT is fine to flash ROMs, I think most out there have an option for battery percent. I don't have a donation link, if you're that donate-happy, give it to one of the great devs out there.

thanks... ya, i ran htcdev to unlock. i actually pushed SU through adb and all worked well.
thanks all for the help!

for s-off and root on the 6.01 follow my guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723920

I'm trying to install Miui Rom so i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device but when i try to install the rom i get this error!
assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device")=="endeavoru"|| getprop ("ro.build.product") ==endeavoru"
E:error in /sd card/miuiandroid_endeavoru-2.8.31.zip
(Status 7)
and the bigger problem is i restored the backup but the device doesn't work properly! no service! no wi-fi and it keeps turning on & off!
so please help me! i just bought the device :'(​

The error message says you don't have the quad core Tegra3 One X.
If you're sure you have right phone, make sure you have the latest recovery, I think an old version suffered from this problem.

In the bootloader it should say ENDEAVORU not EVITA or anything else.
5.8.4.0 is the oldest CWM you want to be using. 5.8.2.4 is ancient.

If all you want is stock,
1. re-lock your bootloader
2. install a RUU.
what software version is your stock rom?

[Q] My one is dead? RUU

Ok, So being a total a noob that I am, I attempted to get google edition ROM using a tut called How to Convert Any HTC One into a Stock Google Play Edition with Bootloader, Recovery, & OTA Updates. I can't link sorry, not realzing it's only for GSM phones. I just changed the model ID in android-info and didn't think and changed my CID. Tho, when it finished flashing, it stayed at 100%, so I just turned it off and went into bootloader. Then, I went into recovery to fix it, and it just boots into google edition. So, you're thinking WOOOO! Unfortunately, not the case. I was put into a boot loop, so I just turned off my phone, went back into bootloader. The problem is, I can't do anything without a boot loop, besides going into fastboot. I have successfully changed my CID back to VZW__001, but when I try to flash cyanogenmod(what I was using before) it says C:\Users\(My name)\Desktop\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash zip C:\Users\(My Name)\Downlo

Install a custom recovery like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416431 then
ADB copy the CM ROM to the phone and install it using the custom recovery.
You're obviously s-off and unlocked so whatever you do keep it that way. There are decrypted RUUs that you can use in the forums if you need to get back to a working state and then you can go from there.
EDIT: You said you were using CM before. I'm not sure if you lost your recovery using that tutorial. If you reinstall your custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), that's where you want to reinstall CM from.

Skrewy Rom?
So this rom was a RUU for the google edition, so it replaced my bootloader and deleted CWM. Unfortunately, factory reset in bootloader, flashing zips, backing up or restoring in CWM do not work because of this weird rom. I have a RUU downloading from htc1guru(google it and find 1.10.605.10 Verizon RUU Zip) and it said it was decrypted. Does this mean that I have to encrypt? Or would I just fastboot oem rebootRUU and then flash the RUU? Also does bootlock need to be on or off when flashing?

not sure what boot lock is, unlocked boot loader?, if you run the ruu I thinknyou need to be in fast boot is all

Unlocked Bootloader
So ya that's what I meant unlocked bootloader. There is not an exe file I can find for RUU verizon HTC one. If u can find on that'd be awesome, but for now I have to download this RUU and try to flash it. I will update when I flash it, but it's a big download so it won't be soon.

Fixed it!
I successfully flashed that RUU and my one is back up and running. Thanks xda!:good:

Yep .. this really show that you are a noob.
From where did you learn to fastboot flash OTA zip and install via recovery ?
They never work this way.
There are many guide on this. I'm not going to advise on how-to as I don't want to be responsible as it may hard brick your device. So search and read more.
Basic are -
S-Off
Stock Recovery
Enter recovery
Install the OTA zip in stock recovery

Make sure your phone is in RUU mode before flashing the zip file to the phone.

[Q] Updating bootloader und er CM12

Okay guys i think i really ****ed up this time...
A few weeks ago I got so excited about the release of lollipop I installed a port the first day it was available... It went well and I got everything working on first try even battery was good on this one...
Now to the problem: I wanted to update today by installing cm12 on my HTC (international), after downloading it I went full chuck Norris and made a full while without making a Nandroid backup... So i go to install from SD and select the cm12 zip and an error occurs: you need bootloader 3.18.00 or so...
OK I thought just install the old room that worked.. ****... I deleted it a while ago when reseting my PC and I don't know which one it was... Tried 4 different rooms now and every one tells me to update my bootloader..
Does anyone know how to update the bootloader under cm 12 and with s-on?? Tried installing a sense rom but they don't work (no WiFi, no data nothing) I think it's because of the partitions under cm11 and 12...
I searched everywhere but can't find anything that works.. Pleaaase help me
Thx

You could fastboot flash a different recovery like Philz touch recovery put a backup from @Mr Hofs thread on your external sdcard and restore from it.or using a different recovery try a stock ROM

I tried a stock rom (Revolution) but nothing worked because the partitions were wrong (i think)...
Do you think installing a backup through Philz will work?
[Edit] can't find mentioned backup, do you have a link maybe? [Edit]
[Edit 2] Do you think one of those will work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 [Edit]

@AustrianAtheist
Your trying to use a stock recovery to flash a ROM?
Twrp is 2.8.4.0 right now,if your having partition issues than try a GPE ROM using a custom recovery

Are you using the original unlock.bin file or have you tried going through HTC website again.
I know you want it fixed ASAP but I need the information

I'm an idiot...
Des i downloaded the .bin file again but I didn't move the file to the adb directory... God... I'm so embarrassed right now
I made it through the unlock process again and installed twrp again and now that I'm on 3.18 hboot I managed to install cm12
But sadly I can't install a 4.4 sense ROM because there's no RUU for my cid (austria) so I can't update further, but at least I got cm12 running
Thx dude
