[WARNING] Flashing boot.img on S-ON devices - HTC One X

ROMs developers and ROMs users - be aware!​
I know this thread doesn't contain any "created" thing, but it's quite important to let every developer here know, that their boot.img flashing commands in updater-script doesn't work with S-ON devices. We didn't realize it quickly because there are no custom kernels yet. But no matter if you use package_extract_file or write_raw_image or dd command - this wont work for most users here with just htcdev.com unlocked devices.
So the only solution for now is to download custom ROM, extract boot.img from inside it if developer didn't provide it separately (like I did) and flash it in fastboot mode using following command:
fastboot flash boot <boot_name.img>
f.g.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot_2.0.0.img
etc...
Also keep in mind that fastboot flash is the only way to use custom boot.img because fastboot boot doesn't work yet either.
I really hope we'll get S-OFF possibility soon!

Very Good!
Thanks!

Thank you mike for being with us and guiding the development..what would it be without you!!!

There are some very lucky few people who just so happen to get a factory s-off device, it's very much possible. Just highly unlikely for most people.

My device is from HTC for testing and adv (to my blog) purpose, after this I buy it from HTC directly.

So mike, please tell me, I have to flash this to my s-off device?

I had the same question because when I flashed the ROM it doesn't seem like changing the kernel name under about. Thanks for clearing that up.

you are one of the few lucky fellas who was handed S-off

Hmmm ... Seems like there is no change in name under Kernel version after flashing the kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Is it that the developer hasn't changed the name of the kernel or is it not flashed properly?

What a pain to keep having to go to the computer to flash boot.img with every rom release. S-OFF needs to come sooner rather than later. Argh.

Sorry for the noob question...but as he got s-off and a diffrerent hboot version(1.01.000):can it be useful for all the develpoers who are working on gaining s-off???

No, it's not as easy as that. He's just got the security flag set to off. We won't be able to push any different hboot's while we're S-ON. It's just a case of finding an exploit to push the security flag to off while getting around all the protection that is surrounding it.

As there are no customized kernels up to now, the devs have no reason to change name of the kernel. It's still stock kernel after all .

I removed boot.img from my rom so yes better to flash it via fastboot anyway.

Mike, I guess this means nandroid restores won't work automatically either and the backed up boot.img will need to be pushed by fastboot.

Ok That Makes More Sense Mate. I Would Suggest Not Doing Anything Official For Now. If You Use A Custom Rom You Need To Keep An Eye Out For A Rom That Is Based On 1.29... The Only Reason You Would Use This Tool Is To Flash The Boot.img Because We Havent Got S-off Yet.
As Of Yet I Dont Think There Are Any Roms That Have 1.29 Though Mate So Youre Going To Have To Hang Tight For A Bit....

Flash kernels with CWM?

Saw this over at the AT&T One X development forums. This script will apparently allows us to flash boot.img through CWM with S-ON and without having to use fastboot anymore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686564#
Should work for us, no?
EDIT: vladnosferatu pointed out that our boot.img is located at mmcblk0p4.
So the command for our devices is:
Code:
"package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");"

good research,
our block for boot.img is mmcblk0p4
so for us should be

I'm pretty sure this is what the updater-scripts do anyway, but since we're not s-off the recovery can't flash that partition.
All updater scripts say this but it doesn't flash it as security is still on

The AT&T One X is not S-OFF and one of their devs tested this. He posted and says it works, but maybe he "thinks" it worked. They don't have any custom kernels yet.

Plus that line had to be changed otherwise there was an error in the script it had to include something to do with tegra

It doesn't throw errors, it just doesn't flash, which is probably why they think it works.

Nevermind, they're flashing boot.img from different RUU versions. That's probably why it works.

if this is true, perhaps the image from an ruu is signed in some way? Or maybe the at+t one x is just less protected than ours, after all, they have supercid, we don't. Either way, we know 100% that this doesn't work for us :-(

[SOLUTION] So your Marvelc is refusing to flash a ROM

Okay I've been getting reports of roms not flashing right for the marvelc. So I set out for a solution and found one I believe. One issues with some roms, is that people have been doing it wrong since they got the phone. From Gsm recovery to even gsm roms. They used cmtd a very bad idea ect ect. So now, id like to present my method for fixing all of this. First, soff your hboot, then upgrade and unlock. install custom recovery and wipe all of the partitions. Then reboot to fastboot and flash the recovery posted bellow. Report back with any findings
http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/marvelc/cm9/tests/recovery.img
I was just wondering if you could give step by step instructions to flashing the recovery.img. File.
Download it. Rename to recovery.img. Place in the same directory as fastboot and adb.
Put your phone into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Simonsimons34 I have tried many things but this CWM actually let me flash a rom your great!! thanks so much and this worked for me
Glad to hear it this recovery has all the bugs with flashing and backups fixed so you should be good for the life of the phone

To flash the RUU, You must Relock the bootloader first.
I can't be much help on returning the phone to s-on, other than to tell you it would take an image (before you s-off'd) and some jtag kung-foo skills

If you flash the RUU for your carrier it will give you a stock rom kernel and recovery so it won't say virgin mobile

(Q) SuperCid

Hello everyone about couple of days I was having issues with my boths cameras on the device I took it to the store I bought it from and they fixed it and also update my device software version after that I noticed that now im S-OFF no S-ON that I was before and my cid also changed from HTC_044 (Asia) to CID-11111111 (supercid I think) and my hboot also changed from 1.36 to 1.39 I also noticed I get faster updates than the cid HTC_044 im know on 3.20.401.1 what does it mean ? that I get every update from every cid or faster updates ? or something else ?

he can't... once you flash the RUU your phone becomes normal as pretty much every One on this forum... you'll only be able to go back to superCID only if we discover a way to S-OFF
Maybe you can find some more useful info here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2222115
but Im S-OFF so I will lose the supercid if I flash RUU ?
and I read that I dont have too unlock bootloader if I S-OFF is that true ?
Yes you need to unlock the bootloader before you can flash !
Edit :
You won't loose s-off by unlocking the bootloader. The possibility is there when you install a ruu.....
so how exactly S-OFF help me here ? XD
thatp pretty weird before i take my HOX to fix it was on Relock cause I opened the bootloader then relock to use waranty and now it says LOCKED no RELOCKED how is this possible ?
and how the technican made my device S-OFF and SUEPRCID 1111111 ?
That's something i don't know exactly, they probably have HTC certified methods of unlocking and relocking to fix certain locked partitions of the phone.

ok so if I want to flash rom I dont need to flash the kernel (boot.img) because I S-OFF Right ?
and if I want to go back to stock I can't flash RUU file because it will change my Super Cid to regular Cid ?

Lets assume that to be safe. Always do it via a firmware flash or a stock nandroid backup. Just to be safe.
And yes you don't need to flash the boot.img manually. But as additional info :
A lot of devs have taken out the script that flashes the boot.img when installing the rom. So with a lot of roms you still have to flash the boot.img with fastboot commands.
and one more question super cid devices (non rooted or bootloader unlocked) get OTA updates faster then other cids ?
and if I go back to stock via RUU it wont change my device to S-ON right ? and there's anyway to bring the Super cid back ?

Have you tried flashing a firmware.zip by naming it 0P6BIMG.zip and putting it on the root of SD, and you the flashing process is done see if you can get into stock recovery. If that works then you can try flashing TWRP and see if it sticks.

first of all you've posted this in the wrong section.
post right section you'll get better answers. but they will need more detail how did it get like this what was you doing at the time as it looks like your boot loader is locked but you've tampered with the firmware or recovery so what exactly have you done?

nooooo do not do this as you bootloader says your s-on so this is likely not to work and may damage your device.

dw man happens to us all :good:
anway i think you need help from some experts and in right section i did a similar thing last month except managed to have a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader
I recon your best bet is to try and unlock your bootloader again have you tried reinstalling/manually installing the drivers on your computer? also does it make a sound when you plug it in? and what happens if you select hBoot?
Was you trying to return to stock when this happened?

considering your version of hboot I don't think firewater will work which means you would need to use sunshine which costs money...
You would also need to be within you system(Android) and be rooted so at the moment best thing to concentrate on is getting your device a recovery / get it to connect to a PC
If you can get your Device to show up in ADB your chances of recovering it get a lot higher

You need to use firewater s-off or if that one does not work for you sunshine s-off works but cost $25 dollars.
The issue your going to have is you can't boot at all and you said fastboot commands not working. Are you sure you have the correct fastboot and adb files in the folder your connected to?

What did you do to get your phone to this point? I need to know what you tried to do to get a better idea of how to fix it. You said the phone won't boot or go into recovery I need to figure out why so I need to know what you did.
I think your fastboot setup is wrong that's why fastboot is not working what are you typing in terminal from start to when it fails.

htc one m8 2014 program after you install the bootloader relock the phone did not open anymore. s off my oabilri because it is not? water does not enter the recovery, the phone will not turn .This as in the picture I do not know how I could edit. 0P6BIMG try restart when trying to install, but still the same

I want to help but I'm not understanding I asked what commands your using because you say fastboot is not working. And your comment is very confusing.

OK... this is what I can understand.
You relocked the bootloader for some reason then you unable to boot the phone anymore and when you try to enter recovery, it boots to bootloader again. All fastboot command doesn't work.
Now ... do you still have the unlock_code.bin with you ? You need to re unlock the bootloader then other fastboot command will work like fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and etc.
