i tried some guides to hboot my phone but its useless and i couldnt do it...
can someone link me to a video or detailed steps because im really exhausted i couldnt finish it up to install the rom
i always stop at this step
Now open Terminal on Mac or command prompt on windows and cd into Android-SDK/tools folder.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i enter the path but it says adbwinapi.dll is missing frm my computer, and try reinstalling program to fix the problem !
so i try reinstalling but unfortunately same result
so please i wish someone could help me on this one
thanks alot in advance
all appreciations

In a CMD shell you need to add "Path C:\Android-sdk\Platform-Tools" (or whatever the correct path is to that folder where you installed it) then try again.
Alternatively, download Android Flasher (search these forums) and run the commands from the folder that contains ADB and Fastboot.

what are the adb scripts, i keep seeing posts talking about them, all i know is that i installed two files one named android sdk windows and the other installer r12 windows

Go to c:\android-sdk\tools folder, copy "fastboot.exe" and paste it into c:\android-sdk\platform-tools.
Then before issuing fastboot commands type
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools
Once you've done that and want to flash the hboot, put it in your c:\ For simplicity and type
Code:
fastboot flash hboot c:\bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img
Fastboot reboot bootloader

If you're really stuck go here :- http://alpharev.nl/ and download the PB99IMG file instead. Rename this to PB99IMG.zip and save it to the root of your SD card. Restart your phone in recovery (vol down + power) and it should flash it for you. Been a long time since I did it that way so I invite anyone to correct me.
Edit: Please delete the PB99IMG.zip file once flashed else it will re-flash it everytime you enter recovery.

Look at step 4

You can get Bravo CM7 r2 from http://alpharev.nl/
Worked for me
Good luck

Rooting 1st time, please advise?

Hi there.
I have a unbranded DHD on 2.3- 2.36.405.8. It's the official leaked version.
I'd like to root & install leeDroids new Rom based upon the official leaked one.
Could you guys possibly help me out?
I don't want to do anything major, but would like to make my phone better now as I can't see much happening after the gingerbread update. Thanks people.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Had you rooted previously before you installed the update?
Suggest you google gingerbreak to root your phone, then downgrade your phone to an earlier version so you can S-Off and you can then install custom ROMs.
Guide to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
Hi guys. Thanks for your response. It means a lot.
I've never actually rooted any device before, never really had the b*lls lol.
I'll check these threads out & give it a shot.
Thank you very much.
There's not much to get your berries shaking, it's just the radio replacement you should be careful with.
First thing you should do is backup your device with either Titanium or ClockworkMod, though you probably need to root in order to do this, and then anything you might do, you can always revert back to what you had.
When you get to replacing the radio version, read instructions extra careful and be sure to do everything by the book (guide) and to check the checksum on the downloaded files. This could brick your device so no extra precaution is unnecessary..
Happy flashing
Hi guys. Cheers for getting back to me.
Before I start could you tell me whether the following procedures that im going to take will or will not be the right ones please?
1st obtain gingerbreak apk and install on my phone using the downgrade guide on xda
once ive done that use file (http://xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_Ac...032_signed.zip) and put on my sd card..... do I rename this file?
2. Once ive downgraded to this, must i perform a ROOT again to be able to flash a new rom?
3. I want to use this ROM - [ROM&KERNEL] LeeDrOiD HD V3.0.2 GB >EPIC!< |5th May | Official GB Sense 2.1 | TV Anim
4. on the 1.32xxx version do I root and use cwm 2 or 3 and just flash the above rom?
5. When exactly do i use the easy radio off tool please? EasyS-OFF_05.zip (747.4 KB, 20804 views)
Sorry for all the questions, but would be very grateful if someone could help
Edit* also after I write this in cmd
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_versi adb shell su
Do I write it exactly as it is? Or does misc_version get replaced with the name of the file?
Cheers.
ok.........
so installed and did gingerbreak, it said didnt work, but asked if i would allow super user permissions to which i said yes.
I opened up a cmd and went to downgrade folder ie; c:\users\ajay\desktop\downgrade
this is where the .zip for 1.36.405.6 is kept.
typed in that code adb etc.... and it said unrecognised command batch etc...
Could someone help us out alittle?
Im pretty dumb at this sort of stuff so my apologies guys.
Hope I manage to install a custom rom, but if i cant then thats cool too.
cheers
Here is my guide i have made and compiled together, follow that and you are done.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOWTO FLASH CUSTOM ROM ONTO GB DEVICE
Downgrade First!
You might need to format your SD card first before installing Gingerbreak, make a backup of your SD card by copying the files to a safe
place on your PC and then goto Settings - SD and Phone Storage - Click Umount SD card - Click Erase SD card - Click Mount SD card after erasing and formating the card has been
completed.
Gingerbreak help thread for problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
1. Download Gingerbreak from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=578771&d=1303829207 and install it. Then tap root button.
2. You might get force close errors, just click the force close button and let Gingerbreak do it's job
3. Gingerbreak will in the end, usually say that something went wrong that you need to reboot etc, don't reboot! Just leave it open in your phone, and connect your phone to a PC. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
4. Download Android Terminal from the Market and after you installed it you can check if you are rooted, by typing su in the terminal, accept the Superuser request if it shows up and Press "Allow", if you get a "#" you are rooted and the Gingerbreak hack worked.
5. Now open up a terminal window(cmd) on your PC and go to the Downgrade folder on your PC where you downloaded the ADB files from at http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=483902&d=1294492245 , execute the following commands:
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
su
!Now allow SuperUser in phone when dialog comes up!
If you got "#" in the result, you have temporary root! Proceed with commands:
Now type in terminal:
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6
1. Close the terminal window on your PC and set USB connection to disk drive in your phone and download PD98IMG.zip from http://www.multiupload.com/BTJ8KY0KH9 and place it on your SD card, don't extract the zip file!! Do not put the file into a folder of any kind on your SD card.
PLEASE NOTE!! If you can't set USB connection to disk drive you have to reboot the DHD, now you will be able to set USB connection to disk drive and transfer PD98IMG.zip file to SD from your PC.
2. Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the Bootloader
3. Follow the instructions and Press "Yes" when it asks you if you want to flash PD98IMG.zip (start the update)
4. Done and reboot.
5. Proceed below with the two S-OFF methods and remove the PD98IMG.zip from your SD.
RADIO S-OFF
1. Install and download latest Visionary r14 from http://www.mediafire.com/?xhwc5m7f273l7b2
2. Open Visionary and tap temproot, then attempt permroot now. Your device will reboot.
3. Connect your phone to a computer (make sure you have USB Debugging enabled, Connect charge only!
4. Extract the Radio S-OFF zip file you dowloaded into a folder on your computer from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
5. Open my "Desire HD easy radio tool.exe" (Windows 7, right click & run as Administrator).
Choose the first option (RADIO S-OFF, Super-CID and Sim Unlock)
Click "Do it". There may be a SuperUser request on your phone, allow it.
6. Done.
ENG S-OFF(You need this enabled to be able to flash RADIO.IMG later)
1. Download and Extract the eng s-off zip file into a folder on your computer from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403
2. Connect the phone to your computer in "Charge only" mode
3. Run "Desire HD easy s-off.exe" from the extracted folder
4. Click "I have RADIO S-OFF" (as you already done RADIO S-OFF earlier), IMPORTANT!
5. Click in "S-OFF" it
6. Your phone is now ENG S-OFF
7. Done
Flashing your ROM
1. Connect your phone using "Disk drive" to the computer.
2. Copy both your full-wipe-1-3.zip from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15057375/mero01-xda/Wipe/FULL-WIPE-1.3.zip and your CUSTOM ROM zip file to your SD Card
3. Check again that both files are on your SD card because once you full wipe, you won't have a ROM anymore.
4. Disconnect your phone from your computer
5. Install and open Rom Manager from the market
6. Tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and download version 3.0.2.6
7. Wait for it to download (You need a wi-fi or data connection)
8. After it is done press "Reboot into recovery"
9. If you get an icon with a phone and an exclamation mark in a triangle, remove the battery from your phone, reboot and then flash the clockworkmod recovery again
10. Once you are in the clockwork mod recovery, you may use the volume keys as directional keys (up and down) and the power button may be used as Enter.
11. I recommend you do a nandroid back-up. You must have at least 1 gb of free space.
12. Goto Backup and Restore and make a backup of current ROM if something would fail during flash.
13. Select "Install Zip from sdcard"
14. Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
15. Select full-wipe-1-3.zip (It's right under those folders)
16. Confirm by selecting the Yes option in between those "NO"s
17. Wait for it to finish
18. DO NOT REBOOT!!! In case you were not aware, you now have no rom installed
19. Once again select "Install Zip from sdcard"
20. Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
21. Select your rom zip file
22. Confirm your selection (just like with the wipe)
23. Wait for it to finish
24. Please reboot from the recovery menu and flash nothing else before you have rebooted.
Flash recommended Radio for your custom ROM:
1. Download "Radio Flash.zip" from http://www.mediafire.com/?b172o4ftj1mcpn1 and extract it contents on your PC.
2. Put the radio.img file you downloaded for your custom ROM and put it in the same folder as you extracted the "Radio flash.zip" file to.
3. Make sure USB debugging is enabled in your Desire HD before proceeding.
4. Connect your DHD to your PC with the USB cable and make sure you select USB Charge Only!
5. Now goto the Radio flash folder on your PC and execute "Start here.exe"
6. In the terminal window that comes up you will type:
adb reboot bootloader
Your DHD now goes into Bootloader state, when it is in bootloader state you will type:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
When the terminal says that the process is done you will type:
fastboot reboot
7. Now the DHD reboots and everything is done.
!!GOOD TO KNOW!!
TESTING BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING
Testing Root
1. Download Android Terminal Emulator from the Market
2. Run it and type in "su"
3. Accept the Superuser request if it comes
4. A "#" should appear if nothing is wrong with your root!
Testing Eng S-off and Radio S-OFF
1. Power Down Your Device
2. Go to Bootloader
3. If it says Ace PVT ENG S-OFF your phone is ENG S-OFF.
4. use Volume down to get to system info and tap power button to select
5. check CID for CID-11111111 (if you have this all is done 100%)
6. Reboot
Checking the device state:
1. Go to the bootloader (turn fastboot off, turn off phone, hold vol- and power)
2. If it says ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF in the first line, your device is Radio S-OFF
3. If it says ACE PVT ENG S-OFF, you have ENG S-OFF, go to System info
4. If system info CID is 11111111, your device is SuperCID5.
5. And if you can verify either Radio S-OFF or SuperCID (and you did both), it worked fine and you have both of them
6. You can check your original CID by going to radio tool folder with cmd and typing: "adb shell getprop ro.cid"
To go back to RADIO S-ON:(If you want to go back to RUU stock ROM again)
1. Flash stock ROM (RUU)
2. Temproot using Visionary
3. Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
4. Enjoy your factory-state phone

For recommended Radio look into the thread of the custom ROM you will flash, it will say what radio they recommend to their ROM
Hi there.
1st thank you for being so patient with me mate, I appeciate it.
after i typed the 1st line of those commands it wouldnt have any of it. It said....
'adb' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I think I should just leave it. Ill have all the guys on here pulling their hair out coz i cant do the simplest thing lol.
Thanks for your time anyway bud.

You need to type adb in the folder you have adb.
If you have adb.exe in folder c:\Downgrade you must go to that folder first and the type adb.
ahh ok.
Thank you very much bud. Legend =)
and where could i get Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 please? I read the forum and it seems to be a good recommended one.
I'll give it ago tonight or tomorrow morning and let you know how i got on.

Hi there.
gingerbreak worked!
Followed the codes and got superuser access.
I had formatted my sd card prior to doing this btw
I closed the terminal and went to change usb from charge to disk drive and the option had gone. took it out and reinserted and still it wouldnt find it for me to put .zip file on???
It would not show my sd card was there until i re booted?
Its a shame we cant just temproot it with gingerbreak and flash the rooted GB 2.3 leedroid, but then i guess this is where all this -s off stuff comes in right?
I havent got a clue now let alone to begin with lol.
Lads I think i give up =( . Thanks for all the help and advise and patience but your dealing with abit of a numpty here and we could be here a very very long time.
I appreciate all the help & Ill keep my eyes open if a way comes out to permroot 2.3 without downgrading etc...

Same thing happened me, i had to reboot to make SD card show up again, but that is no problem as you have already changed misc_version with adb, you can now just put the PD98 file to the SD card and reboot and flash from bootloader.
Easy.
You have come along way now, just do as i said earlier, the rest is easy, don't give up now

CM7 on Desire Z- My Problem

Hey guys.
First off I want to say that I DID use the search button but found no similiar problem. So:
I'm currently trying to get CM7 on my Desire Z, but to be honest, I'm a noob in this stuff.
So what I did do:
I already fully rooted my Desire Z(S-OFF)
So, whats my Problem?:
Radios...
I downloaded the newest radio but I just can't install it.
The wiki tell me:
Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Vision.
Make sure the filename is PC10IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder).
Connect the HTC Vision to the computer via USB.
On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
adb push PC10IMG.zip /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip
adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I downloaded it, I put the zip that was exactly called PC10IMG.zip in the adb folder, but when I try to use the first command the terminal tells me:
cannot stat 'PC10IMG.zip' : No such file or directory
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I seriously have no idea what to do, I'm trying to get this rom since 4 hours, but it's a hell lot of work for a newbie in this section.
I appreciate every answer
to make it short you don't have to update your radio to run CM7 only update i if you have connectivity issues or otherwise.....
Install CM7 by installing Rom manager from the market-> Flash Clockwork Recovery -> then I would flash Super Wipe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=574873&d=1303432318) then install CM7 from recovery (http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.0.3-vision-signed.zip) and then bootup and install gapps in rom manager (download->extras->gapps)
OR
install superCM7 (GAPPS INCLUDED) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076691 after superwipe
that error is just a result of not being in the correct directory. chances are you either didn't put PC10IMG.zip in the correct subfolder within your android sdk or you don't have the path to your android sdk tools and platform-tools folders in the path section of your environment variables.
here's an easy workaround:
put PC10IMG.zip in the root of your C:\ drive (assuming you're on windows) and type the following in your command prompt:
cd C:\<path-to-platform-tools-in-android-sdk>
adb push C:\PC10IMG.zip /sdcard/
reboot into bootloader and the update will commence.
the radio install isn't a prerequisite to running CM, though, so as noted by previous poster, don't flash a new one unless you need to for some reason.

[GUIDE] Flash CWM Manually (for noobs)

It took me some searching to find this information, so I thought I would post it here in an easy format. This will get the modded CWM flashed on your Inc2 so you can start enjoying root.
*--*--* I am not responsible for any damage that may occur to your phone by following this guide or any other guide. If you are at this step, your warranty is already void, and if you lie to Verizon to get a replacement, an angry bear will break into your house and molest you quite thoroughly. Those people are the reason why Verizon is forcing locked bootloaders, and why I had to wait two months to root my Inc2. Don't be one of those people. You might be a noob, but that doesn't excuse you from doing research. In short, anything that happens is your own damn fault, and you can't blame anyone else. /rant *--*--*
Now that that is out of the way, the steps:
1. Download the android SDK here http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r12-windows.exe I don't really want to go into details on this, as it is explained on the site and in the sdk itself. Basically, install and then follow the directions here http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html specifically the part about the sdk tools.
2. Open the sdk tools folder, select adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll, then copy them to somewhere easy to find. I just dumped them in the C:\ folder.
3. Download http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/fastboot-win32.zip and extract to the same folder with the other files (C:\ in my case).
4. If you haven't already, download the CWM file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134520. Extract the main image (not the osx image) to the same folder with the other files (not necessary, but makes things easier).
5. Boot into fastboot by powering the device off, then powering back on while holding the volume down button on the side. It should boot to a white screen, similar to what you saw when you first rooted it. Plug your phone into usb if you haven't already.
6. Open the Command Prompt. Type (without the quotes): "cd (the folder where adb is)" so, "cd C:\" in my case. Next: "fastboot flash recovery cwm-recovery-vivow.img" and when it is done, "fastboot reboot".
7. Rooting the phone is only the beginning. You still need a rooted kernal, and su and busybox. Without these, rooting does you little practical good. To that end, follow RMK's guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160745. That will get you all set up to start enjoying root fully. I would recommend installing ROM Manager from the market and using it to flash the latest CWM (4.0.0.8). ****NOTE that you need to already have CWM to flash the su and then flasht he new CWM. I know, it seems silly, but that's the way things are. Also, a disclaimer: a few people have had problems with the newest CWM not working properly for them. It worked for me, though, and there is a fix on page four of this thread.
Credit goes to attn1 for the modified CWM, xgunther for posting it/original instructions, and crazythunder of Android Community for the original instructions for using fastboot with a G1. Hope this helps
Some information from supersonic that those trying this on linux will find useful. Thanks!

Download this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134520
BTW, if you havn't installed fastboot, download it here.
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
1.First rename your android sdk folder to "sdk" just like that. Dont use quotation marks on anything fyi.
2.Next step is to move the sdk folder to your home folder.
3.Move adb, fastboot, and the recovery image from the link above into the tools folder of the sdk.
4.Open up terminal and type or copy this in there.
"cd sdk/tools" hit enter.
5. "./adb kill-server" hit enter.
6. "./adb start-server" hit enter. should look something this. (below)
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
7. "./fastboot" hit enter.
8. "./fastboot flash recovery cwm-recovery-vivow.img" hit enter
give it some time to flash.
9. "./fastboot reboot" hit enter
10."./fastboot adb reboot recovery" hit enter
And there you go, wait for your phone to reboot and what not and you should have CWM installed. I would immediately do a nandroid of the stock rom. after that i didnt bother messing with superuser on stock froyo because who the hell wants to be on froyo!? lol, so i installed the GB ota rooted version with superuser already because its very stable....found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161411 as i wait for a stable version of rewind,you can then install and update CWM through rom manager to the current version once you've done this.
there you go buddy sorry so long. if you encounter any problems let me know so i can boot into ubuntu and help out. i'd give you a little more details but im on my mac right now. hit the thanks button if i was any help

Just a heads up, if you are S-Off, you can enjoy these instructions on Mac, Linux, or Windows. ADB and fastboot give you options for all! <3
Here is another link i found to help out!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122694
In case you didn't know, AlphaRev X will install CWM for you. Then you can just load a different ROM, install ROM Manager, and update it from there.
I know this is pretty new but does anyone know how to flash fastboot through the linux side I have just about given up on getting the ADB to work in Win 7 64bit

Dumbest solution ever... I was having the same problem. As long as you've installed the jdk file from the link it shows on the initial error on sdk install...
Just click 'back' then 'next' again on the SDK installer... It worked for me.
Now I'm getting stuck on 'Waiting for device' when I run the fastboot command on the command prompt. Thoughts?

In case you didn't know, AlphaRev X will install CWM for you. Then you can just load a different ROM, install ROM Manager, and update it from there.

Guess I forgot to mention that this is for the people with problems with the automatic installer, including myself.

I was, but it turns out I didn't have the HTC sync drivers. S-Off, Rooted, and running overclocked CM7 now!!!!!!!
This must be in Fastboot USB mode while doing?
Im also stuck on < waiting for device >
I've tried in charge only mode and HTC Sync mode and neither seem to be recognized by cmd. The HTC Sync software opens when I connect the phone in HTC Sync mode so I would assume the drivers are installed correctly. Any ideas?

Should HTC Sync be opening? I think you're supposed to uninstall HTC Sync, but leave the drivers. AlphaRevX provided a link to the drivers only, so it might be easier to just completely uninstall everything and then reinstall the provided driver instead.
Just tried that and its still stuck... I'll mess with it more tomorrow
Yeah i've been having the exact same problems with the drivers. I have a completely fresh install of windows 7, and it still wont work. I installed the HTC Sync, and it still doesnt recognize my device. I tried using Ubuntu, however it makes absolutly zero sense in my mind, so unless i have a detailed instuctional text, windows is my only choice really. Its funny, this thread is for noobs, yet i can't get even do this, but other phones i've rooted without any problems, and they we're much harder for me. Blah.
I've tried all variations of connection modes, triple checked I had all the files in the right spot, and tried different usb ports and it still wont work... does someone have a more detailed guide for this?
Seriously frustrated about this. S-Off was no problem. I'm triple booted with OSX, Win XP Pro and Linux. Used linux to get s-off but didn't get a CWM install. Window won't allow the driver to install and Linux is a mystery. Anybody have luck with OSX or Linux and want to write it up?
OH, all you people having trouble...you need to be in fastboot in order for this to work. Power off your phone, then power it back on while holding volume down. Then run the commands.

Haha, yea. I guess I am a noob when it comes to writing guides. I updated the OP with an extra step for booting into fastboot.

[GUIDE] Comprehensive S-OFF/Root Methods

Please do not PM me with questions about this guide! I don't have time to help everyone through it, create a thread in Q&A if you don't have 10 posts or post here, there are other people who have done this and can help you, and I will get to it if I can. PMs asking questions about this guide will be ignored. Thank you.
Fully stable root methods for all firmware versions (no bootloops on 6.01.605.05 firmware!)

To quickly find a section, hit CTRL+F and type the letters in parentheses, then click "Next"
(IRO) Intro: Read first!
(HDV) HTCDEV Unlock
(TCR) Tacoroot
(DWG) Downgrade tool
(RVL) Revolutionary
(HSO) S-OFF with HTCDev unlock (second post)
(ASO) After S-OFF (second post)​
INTRO(IRO)​DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device while following these instructions. I will try to help you through problems as much as I can, but I can't guarantee success, especially if you do not carefully read the instructions.
This is a comprehensive guide of all known and fully stable root/s-off methods, at this time, it covers just about all firmware versions out there. Most of these methods will require the Android SDK, so download that (Google it. A link for this really isn't necessary, and I'm sure many people could use practice googling things. ) and set it up (again, just google "android sdk," the download page even has tutorials). The downgrade methods no longer require the sdk, but it is still reccomended that you download it as it is a very useful tool. Don't forget to download the device drivers here (only neccessary on Windows) and set the PATH variable.
So, which downgrade method should you use? Most likely you will either have firmware version 5.x or 6.x, you can find out under Settings>About phone. If you are using 5.x, go to the Downgrade Tool section; if you have 6.x, go to the Tacoroot section. Both methods eventually lead to the Revolutionary section, HTCDev unlock is not reccomended and, honestly, completely pointless (read more below).
HTCDEV UNLOCK(HDV)​Versions: All
HTCDev is HTC's "official" unlock, it will unlock the bootloader but leave S-ON. Don't do it. Seriously. It's a guaranteed voided warranty and pretty much a huge PITA (you can't flash radios and need to extract and separately flash ROM kernels), and s-off methods are completely stable and even relockable. That said, if for whatever reason you do wish to do this, just go to http://htcdev.com/bootloader/. If you want to obtain S-OFF at any time after using HTCDev unlock, see the second post.
Note: to flash ROMs when HTCDev unlocked, flash the ROM normally, then extract the boot.img from the rom.zip and boot into fastboot, then use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img."
TACOROOT(TCR)​Versions: 6.01.605.05 firmware
Tacoroot is a temp root method discovered by Justin Case that will allow those on the newer firmware to flash an older version and root with Revolutionary. Before you begin, download this zip containing all the files you'll need:
EDIT: Looking for the files? See this post.
Extract this zip to C:/Android. You can extract it somewhere else, just replace C:/Android with the path to the wherever you extracted it wherever it comes up. Now, connect your device to your computer with a USB cable, turn on USB Debugging under Settings>Apps>Development, and disable fastboot under Settings>Power. Make sure your phone is fully charged. Open a command prompt by opening the start menu, typing "cmd" and hitting enter. Type in everything that is in black text. Notes and extra instructions will be written in blue. It is reccomended that you copy/paste the code to avoid typos, to do this, copy by highlighting the line and hitting Ctrl+C as usual; to paste, go to your command prompt and click the small black icon in the upper left corner. A menu will pop up, go to Edit>Paste. Make sure you have not highlighted any spaces before or after the line or any of the blue text. Now, begin copying the code:
cd C:/Android
md5sums RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Radio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_si.zip Remove the space in the middle of the word radio before hitting enter, I don't know why it won't let me remove it. Result should be cea499f51b40055ffd118960e1e73255, if it isn't, redownload the miniadb zip.
md5sums 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG.zip Result should be ea6b98be48210d7797e62362f49ff751

md5sums misc_version Result should be 050f55d34ddbcc860efa5982491437de
adb devices Result should be your phone's serial number. If it isn't make sure drivers are properly installed and USB Debugging is enabled.
adb push tacoroot.sh /data/local/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tacoroot.sh
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --setup This will reboot your phone. When you get to a screen with a red exclamation mark, press VolUp+Power until you get to a menu, then press VolUp+VolDown+Power until the phone turns off. Once it is rebooted, continue.
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --root
adb wait-for-device Running the step before this will reboot your phone again, this time it will be bootlooping, meaning it will not boot fully and get stuck on the boot animation. Once your prompt comes back after this step, you're good to continue even though the phone isn't fully booted.
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.18.605.3
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --undo This will reboot your phone one more time, this time fully stable and will boot completely. Continue once fully booted.
adb reboot bootloader This will reboot your phone to a white screen with a few options. Once you are at this screen, continue with the instructions.
fastboot devices Result should be your phone's serial number, again.
fastboot getvar mainver The result should be 2.18.605.3. If it is not, something was not done correctly, you'll need to restart from the beginning.

fastboot flash zip 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG.zip Same as the above, do not interrupt under any circumstances (unless you really wanted a phone-shaped paperweight )

That's the end of the codes, you should be fully booted into the now downgraded version. Re-enable USB debugging, then continue to the Revolutionary section and follow instructions there.
DOWNGRADE TOOL
Versions: HBOOT .98, firmware below 6.01.605.05
This will not work with firmware version 6.01.605.05! Use the tacoroot method!
This tool will downgrade you to 2.3.3, which will allow you to use Revolutionary to gain S-OFF.
Download the tool here, and extract it to a folder where you can easily get to it in a command prompt/terminal.
Now, connect your device to your computer with a USB cable, and turn on USB Debugging in settings. To ensure you are connected, open a command prompt/terminal and type "adb devices". If you see a bunch of letters and numbers followed by "device," you're good to go.
Navigate to the files you extracted in a command prompt/terminal ("cd /path/to/folder," replacing /path/to/folder with the actual filepath), type "hack-vivow.cmd" and let it run. It may take a while and seem to get stuck on some commands, just leave it alone. After it's done, continue to the Revolutionary section. Yep, it really is that easy.
REVOLUTIONARY
Versions: GB 2.3.3, any others after downgrade methods
This is the final step that will actually get you S-OFF.
Go to the revolutionary website, click on the download link for your OS, you'll get a download right away. While it's downloading, fill out the form that pops up (if you don't know your serial number and have the sdk installed, open up a command prompt/terminal and type "adb devices," the letters/numbers before "device" is your serial. Extract the files and run either revolutionary or revolutionary.exe depending on your OS, enter your beta key and say yes when it asks to install CWM recovery. Let it run, and you'll be S-OFF and ready to go!
If you have any questions/comments or found something that isn't right, go ahead and post, I would greatly appreciate any positive or negative feedback, as long as it's constructive.

Get S-OFF after using HTCDev Unlock
(HSO)​If you used HTCDev unlock and want to get S-OFF, follow this guide. What you get from going from HTCDev unlocked to full S-OFF is a full unlock instead of HTC's restricted unlock. This way, you can flash custom radios and flash ROMs without needing to extract and separately flash the boot.img. (Note: If you already installed a custom recovery and a custom ROM, flash this ROM and start at "adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version" in the code.) To do this, first download this zip and extract it to C:/Android. You can extract it somewhere else, just replace C:/Android with the path to where you extracted it wherever it comes up. Next, download this zip and extract it to C:/Android. Download this zip as well and put it in your C:/Android folder, but do not extract it. Now, connect your device to your computer with a USB cable, turn on USB Debugging under Settings>Apps>Development, and disable fastboot under Settings>Power. Make sure your phone is fully charged. Open a command prompt by opening the start menu, typing "cmd" and hitting enter. Type in everything that is in black text. Notes and extra instructions will be written in blue. It is recommended that you copy/paste the code to avoid typos, to do this, copy by highlighting the line and hitting Ctrl+C as usual; to paste, go to your command prompt and click the small black icon in the upper left corner.

adb reboot bootloader This should reboot your phone to a white menu, once it is there, continue.
fastboot devices This should return your phone's serial number.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img This might take a while, be patient and do not interrupt it. Once it is done, use the volume buttons on your phone to navigate through the menu until RECOVERY is highlighted, then press Power to select it. Your phone will reboot into another menu, once it shows up, select "install from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard," then scroll down and select CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip, and accept it. Once it is finished, press power then select reboot. Once you are fully booted, continue with the instructions.
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.18.605.3

fastboot devices Result should be your phone's serial number.
fastboot getvar mainver Result should be 2.18.605.3. If it isn't, make sure you didn't get any errors in the above code and everything was copied correctly.

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG.zip This will also take a bit, again, do not interrupt it.
fastboot reboot
That's the end of the code, you should be downgraded and can now get S-OFF by following the Revolutionary guide in the first post.
After S-OFF(ASO)​So, now you have S-OFF. Congratulations! The next step would be to flash a custom recovery, then either an su zip or a custom, rooted ROM. For recoveries, the choices are ClockworkMod, 4EXT or TWRP. I personally prefer 4EXT, but TWRP is also great and has many great features. ClockworkMod is a little slower, but still stable. All ROMs and recoveries for the Dinc2 can be found in the development forums (where you found this guide), and there are many different ROMs to choose from, so check them out! If you want something rock solid and completely stable, try out CondemnedSoul's CM7 or one of the Gingerbread Sense ROMs, or if you want something newer, a bit faster, but maybe has a few minor bugs, check out one of the many ICS ROMs. If you want the latest and greatest, with a few slight bugs, go Jelly Bean with aeroevan's CM10. If you were looking to just root, download and flash the zip found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053, however, I would recommend that you try one of the Gingerbread Sense ROMs such as Skyraider Zeus if you wanted something a bit different with extra features, or andybonestock for a faster, debloated ROM that looks and feels exactly like what you're used to, but rooted.
Nice guide. I have to use the tacoroot method for a buddy of mine.
Awesome post!

Consider it done, excellent resource :good:
Also added to roll-up.
Bad links for Tacoroot.sh and .0312 radio. Great wright up though and cant wait to get my replacement unlocked.
Edit: Ok so I am almost there but have run into some issues. I cant get the 2.3.3 RUU to flash. It will get so far and stop saying bad signature verification. The one thing I noticed is that at the end of the file name it has si and not signed. I tried to change it but kinda knew that would not work and it didn't. Hope this can be fixed soon.
Edit of the edit. Ok so I followed dets34's wright up as I could not get the commands posted here to work. I put the files in the proper SDK folders and went through the commands and when I got to the RUU I hit tab after starting the name to make sure the end was si.zip. Flashed went into boot loop, boot recovery, flash newest radio, and bam no more loop with S off. Thanks to everyone who keeps us sorted out and flashing strong.

Links work fine for me. What did you do differently with dets34's tutorial?
The only thing that was different was I put misc and taco files in AndroidSDK\platforms. Then I put the RUU in the tools folder. Ran the commands and it went through first try. For the first part I cd c:\ to my platforms folder and ran the first part then cd c:\ to my tools folder and installed the RUU. Once it booted as soon as I messed with it boot loop. So flashed the radio and all seems to be fine.

Shouldn't make a difference if you added those folders to your PATH variable, that way you can use adb/fastboot commands without having to cd in.
Yea that's kinda what I thought but some how I messed it up or something because it never would flash the RUU. I am no expert at this by any means. Either way you helped out and its nice to see we don't have to worry about loops any more. :good:

I had to add the path to this file for it to work and then afterward do a
Code:
adb reboot
to get ready for the Revolutionary process. At first Revolutionary wouldn't recognize the device when it booted. I quickly realized I needed to re-enable USB Debug.
Then I used adb to do the rebooting necessary to flash the .0312 radio.
Thanks again! Great stuff.

Wiped Phone Now Can't See SD Card On Lappy, PLEASE HELP

I used Team win Recovery Project to wipe my phone Galaxy Nexus, and now when I plug the phone in to the lappy it doesn't show the sd card. Freaking out here cause I can't copy over a zip file to flash a ROM... please help...
The GNEX doesn't have an actual sdcard, so when you wiped the phone i'm guessing you wiped the virtual sd card.
You will have to adb push a rom to your phone.
One the top of the first Q&A page jubakuba has a guide that has a panic section in it.
The guide also shows how to install adb/fastboot and gives you the commands.
try flash the stock img via fastboot using the following line to avoid wiping ur sdcard
fastboot update ***.zip
then wipe data via CWM and enjoy

ok, following your instructions, and the instructions of the link, I have install ADB and can use cmd, however when I type adb shell, I get an error returning "device not found"
I see a lot of threads stating to make sure usb debugging is on, it was before I wiped the phone, but obviously I cant get to any settings at the moment.
on the verge of crying now, and noone likes to see a grown man cry
FIXED
I ran the push command whilst in recovery and it worked
not sure that it mattered, but I did change the zip file name to ROM.zip, and whilst in recovery, ran the comand "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip
Just thought I would put that in there for other dopes like me that might come across this problem
Thanks to all for your help!
LOL
Normally if you can't see your device listed you haven't installed the drivers correctly.(or the correct drivers)
Also you have to open a command prompt window in the same folder as fastboot.exe and adb.exe
To do this in Windows 7:
Click the windows start button (bottom left hand corner)
In the search bar at the bottom type: cmd
At the top of the search list you will see the program cmd.exe right click and copy it.
Paste it into the same folder that has fastboot.exe and adb.exe
Now you can open the cmd window and type the command:
adb devices
Hit ENTER and if you have installed drivers correctly, the serial number of your phone will be listed.
If not, uninstall the drivers, download a new set of drivers from jubakuba or efrants guide and reinstall.
