I've been posting here and there around here lately but thought I'd get a cleaner, more focused thread going for those of us who used HTC's unlock tool and want root.
I managed to get the bootloader unlocked with HTC's tool and installed SU and clockwork onto my Inc2 but I think I'm having problems because I'm still S-On instead of S-Off.
So, what do we do next after unlocking the bootloader? I'm under the impression that because I'm S-On still, I can flash a custom ROM, but not only the ones with the stock kernel intact. This would be why Sabotage was able to install, but Mik wouldn't. Still only a theory, though.
ANY HELP PLEASE!!!

There are 2 options to flash a custom ROM that has a custom kernel on an unlocked bootloader.
1. Instead of booting to recovery mode directly, you need to boot in Fastboot mode and issue the command:
Fastboot boot [path to custom recovery.img]
This will boot you into recovery mode using the custom recovery image. Then you can flash a custom ROM with a custom kernel correctly.
2. Extract the boot.img from the custom ROM zip file and copy it to your SDK tool directory.
Then boot into recovery mode and flash the custom ROM. Next you must reboot into bootloader mode and enter Fastboot mode. Enter the following command:
Fastboot flash boot [path to the boot.img file].
Try either option 1 or option 2. You do not need to do both.
Hope this helps.

Tried option 1 and when I go to select install zip from sd card after booting to cwm the phone restarts. Trying option 2 now...
Option #2 won't work since I get stuck at the HTC screen when trying to load a custom ROM.

How did you try to reboot into bootloader from recovery once the ROM was flashed. Once I get into recovery I connect the phone with a USB cable and then type
Adb reboot bootloader
This will boot you into HBOOT straight from recovery and should prevent the hang at the HTC.
Ok. Let's start fresh and complete:
1- Plug phone into computer.
2- select HTC sync on phone
3- open cmd and get to sdk
4- type "adb reboot bootloader"
5- phone should reboot to HTC's recovery thing
now what?
I have cwm installed already.

Just select Charge Only, not HTC Sync.
Once you type adb reboot bootloader you should get the HBOOT screen and it should show FASTBOOT USB.
At this point you should enter Fastboot commands from you PC command prompt.
So you said you tried fastboot boot [path to recovery.img file] and it did boot you into recovery, right? Then you should be able to flash the custom ROM and reboot normally when the install is complete.
For option 2 once you are in recovery mode flash the custom ROM and then when it is finished connect the phone with the USB cable and at the command prompt you should be able to type adb devices and it will respond with your device id.
If it does, then type adb reboot bootloader and it will take you back to the HBOOT screen. From there you would then enter the following Fastboot command:
Fastboot flash boot [path to boot.img file]
Then Fastboot reboot

You determine what the path is when you download the recovery image to your PC. The best place to download or copy it to is the same folder you run adb.exe and fastboot.exe from.

OK maybe I am missing something here. Do you actually have full root? If you do, how did you get it? I don't know how to get the su binary and busybox installed. I have unlocked my bootloader using the htc supertool and I don't have root, which is keeping me from installing CWM or anything root related for that matter. I have not seen any instructions on how to root this thing since the unlock tool became compatible 3 days ago. But maybe I have missed something.
Thanks for any help.
Still cant get rom to boot... however, i have been able to fastboot into custom recovery and complete the flashing process...
Now i am just stuck at the HTC screen after reboot.
Any suggestions?
Thank you all so far. You have been most helpful.
***** update ***** I finally got it after fast booting into recovery, flashing rom, and then extracting boot.img from that rom and flashing it via fastboot.

After you have an unlocked HBOOT, you need to flash CWM recovery image in FASTBOOT mode. Once you have CWM installed, you can install the latest SU-3.0.xx.zip to root your current ROM and then you can installl and use root programs like ROM Manager, Busybox, Titianium Backup, etc. or you can install a rooted custom ROM.
I have a Tmobile G2 rooted running Gingervillian (gingerbread 2.3.1) and I tried to install the Desire z hboot to get the Sense ui.
I followed the steps here, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogZfSWLlvPg"
HERES THE PROCEDURE OF WHAT I DID:
After updating the PC10IMG.zip (Desire Z hboot) folder to the root of my G2, I was stuck on the HTC logo screen after updating. So I followed what the guy said in the video, deleted the PC10IMG file in my SD card then rebooted my phone.
After rebooting my phone, I was booted back same rom. So I flash/recovery my phone through Rom Manager and tried rebooting my phone to clockwork mod recovery mode.
After rebooting, I didn't go to Clockwork Mod but to FASTBOOT screen? I select "bootloader" and it goes to a quick load that says something like "SD loading, no image or wrong image". I select "Recovery" then it goes to the HTC logo for a split second then I'm back to FASTBOOT screen again.
This is the info on the fasboot screen? don't know if that'll help:
Vision pvt eng S-off
Hboot-0.84.2000 (pc1010000)
Microp-0425
Radio-26.02.15_m2
eMMC-boot
Sep 8 2010, 15:65:38
So now, I don't know what to do and my questions are:
1.) Is there a way to go back to the G2 hboot?
2. Can I still fix this and procedure on and install new roms on recovery clockwork mode, using Desire Z hboot? (as the video did)
Please help a brother out I'm still a noob and still learning. If this is in the wrong place, please move it to the correct place.
Anyone? if it seems confusing, please ask questions or if I need to provide more information. I really need help with this. Any suggestions will help.

would any PP99IMG.zip file work? And do I basically put it in the SD's root and put it into the boot menu to update the file?
Thanks
by the way, is this compatible with G2s?
don´t put the pp99img.zip on your sd !
do something different:
download a recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
be sure to remove any pc10img.zip or so from your sdcard. then put your phone in fastboot mode (power & tp-wake) connect it to pc and flash the recovery through fastboot by typing: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that you should be able to enter recovery. be sure to wipe before installing a new rom...

Yes, you can run adb on a Mac. See the link to my adb guide in my signature (assuming you're not viewing from the XDA app, which doesn't show the full sig).
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
Okay, just to make it clear (I am a "step by step" guy when it comes to technical computer/phone stuff.), from my understanding:
1. Download the recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision) and put it in the root of my SD card.
2. Delete any pc10img.zip files from SD card.
3. Turn phone off and then turn phone onto FASTBOOT mode by holding power/volume down/camera or power and tp-wake? (Btw what's tp-wake? and during this process, is the phone in fastboot screen mode while I'm about to type the "flashboot flash recovery recovery.img"?
4. Connect to computer, open up terminal (Mac) and do the ADB process and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5. Wipe clean and install new rom in recovery mode? (Clockwork Mod recovery mode?)
PLEASE correct my steps or add in any steps that I'm missing. I bought my phone rooted so I never went through these steps before. Anyways please correct me, I don't want to ruin my phone anymore than it is already.
anyone can review my steps?
good morning
ad step 1: don´t put it onto your sd; put it into the adb tool folder on your pc !
ad step 3: tp-wake = the square button at the bottom of your phone (the one that acts like a mouse); to enter fastboot mode press power & tp-wake
...the phone should be in fastboot mode while typing the command.
before you type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" type "fastboot devices" and look if your phone shows up... if so go ahead with flashig the recovery (by the way, you may have to rename the recovery file)
step 4 and 5 look fine...
good luck
okay, I will try it in a little bit here.
In FASTBOOT USB mode, it wont recognize my device but when my device is fully on, adb works.
I get when I type "flashboot devices" (while the phone is on FASTBOOT) in terminal and get:
"-bash: fastboot: command not found"
By the way, I renamed the downloaded flash to "recovery.img" and put that file in the "platform-tools". Don't know if that'll work.
The "fastboot" command should be on your PC in the same folder as the "adb" command. Where did you get adb from, did you install the SDK and platform tools, or something cut-down ?
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
hm... that means that you do not have fastboot installed. maybe google for fastboot on mac, because i have a linux system... so i can´t help you in that point.
other thing you could do is following this guide (it´s a pc10img.zip with dz hboot and clockwork recovery):
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
but first i would try the fastboot method - it´s safer.
Okay, I got the fastboot devices to read my phone. But it cannot load my recovery.img?
This is what got when I typed in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" :
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
rename it to recovery and try again...
It's not loading the img file for some reason..

Hi together!
Since this is a topic where people ask regularly, I try to make a little TUT.
I hope it is helpful.
I am a noob myself, so please don't go on me
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong or if I missed some important stuff.
What you need:
1.
SDK Tool (type in your browser: developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
Once you are on that page, download the package and install it.
2.
after the install process has finished, you have to install some packages.
Important is the platform-tools package (there you find the most important commands)
3.
Locate the folder on the harddisk of your PC
4.a)
Push the Windows(Start) Buttom and type: cmd
This opens the command prompt
Now get into the root of the android folder (e.g. cd.. until you get into root of your harddisk)
(on my PC, it looks like this:
cd android
cd platform-tools)
4.b)
Just one thing to make it a little easier to come into the right folder:
Open the folder with the fastbootfiles in a window.
Go to command line and type cmd and the cmd.exe will be shown in the menu.
Drag & Drop the cmd.exe into the opened fastboot folder.
When you now open this cmd, it shows the right folder at the start and you can easily type the commands without navigation through folders.
credits go to Neo XL
5.
Your phone has to be in fastboot-USB mode and connected to PC in order to understand the commands
6.
Once you are in platform-tools folder, you can type commands
Most common commands are:
fastboot erase cache (sometimes helps if phone is in HTC bootloop)
fastboot flash boot (name of boot image / e.g. boot_1.2.3.img) (this is, like the name says, to flash a boot image)
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery.img
fastboot oem lock ( to relock your phone, in case you have or want to flash a RUU)
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin (to unlock again, if you already got the unlock key from HTCDev)
Flash firmware.zip using following terminal commands:
Please rename first downloaded .zip package to firmware.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
This is almost obsolete, since we have the new Recovery 5.8.3.1 with Mount USB, but it is still good to know
to push ROM to SD card, if you were running superwipe without copying the rom file onto sd
1. You need recovery.img in your fastboot directory
2. Go into bootloader and connect phone
3. Then use: "fastboot boot recovery.img" (thus booting your image from pc and not the installed recovery).
4. When in recovery, you can use the adb commands.
5. You can try with "adb devices" which should show you serial of phone.
6. command: adb push rom_rom.zip /sdcard
credits to broncogr for finding that adb works if you use fastboot boot command and to Jotha for helping me out!
Or try following:
Copy rom to your adb-directory on PC
Switch OFF phone
Connect phone to PC
Wait until you hear the "USB-Connect"-sound on PC
Go into command window in adb-directory
Type "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/"
(where rom.zip is name of rom-file)
pushing is rather slow so it will take a while. Eventually you get an "OK". Then you can go into recovery and flash it.

You have to copy the Boot.img into the folder, where fastboot-, adb commands are situated (c:/andoid/platform-tools)
Then Open cmd. Go to platform-tools folder and from there it should work.

You can add the adb and fastboot directory path to the environment path in windows settings. You can then use adb and fastboot outside of the platform tools directory, but still in command prompt of course

3. Then use: "fastboot boot recovery.img" (thus booting your image from pc and not the installed recovery).
4. When in recovery, you can use the adb commands.
5. You can try with "adb devices" which should show you serial of phone.
6. command: adb push rom_rom.zip /sdcard
In point 3, it is not supposed to boot into recovery. Its for booting your recovery.img (e.g. recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img ) from PC. After this step you will automatically boot into Recovery. From there you can use adb commands.
Did you try "adb devices"?
I tried it myself and it works!

Asking about number 6,since after push rom into sd card using adb command. How long will it takes rom to place in sd card? My adb command just stuck after push rom without inform is it done or not.
And where did the push file goes? Seems I can't find it in CWM. I'm using latest cwm, but no zip file found in my sd card.

Rom should be on root of Sd.
If this is not working, you can try to use the command while phone is powered off. I am not a dev, but I read something like that:
"Switch off your phone, connect to pc, wait until it is detected by windows and use: adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/" thats what Jotha told someone on ARHD Thread.
Try that and tell us if it worked.

Yeah,you should do a nandroid backup because obviously it wont boot,and don't keep it on that logo to much or you will drain you'r battery.I've tryed an app that changes the fonts but also screwed up my phone so i had do to a restore.I don't know what app i can recomend that works so far.

You don't need a nandroid. Just get into boot loader and use ADB push to push any rom to your virtual SD card then you can install it through CWM recovery. Don't forget the boot.img as well.

When I 'adb device' on the PC, it says error: device not found?
Try this, you don't need to push anything, this command will open your sdcard in windows, put your rom.zip in, close the folder and flash through recovery.
In fastboot:
fastboot boot custom-recovery.img
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sys/devices/platform/fsl-tegra-udc/gadget/lun0/file

I flashed the custom recovery, but I can't get past adb shell since it just tells me device not found..

Ok sorry about that, yes I meant I booted the recovery, and adb shell'ed it and it still showed me no device found, something wrong with my adb?
Okay, thanks to everyone who helped, but in the end, I relocked bootloader, and installed stock rom RUU and decided to start everything from scratch phone is booted now and working again!
Hello guys
I rooted my phone recently and I am using CM10.1 since. I wanted to switch to different roms using ROM manager but every time I try it it just reboots back to CM.... idk what to do...
I have an HOX Int trying to switch from CM 10.1 to Nocturnal xi40.
Thanks in advance)
Don't use ROM manager...
1. Download the ROM, extract the boot.img to fastboot folder and copy the rom.zip to your phone.
2. Go to fastboot mode and flash the boot.img via fastboot and then 'fastboot erase cache'.
3. Go to recovery make a full wipe...(Data/cache/dalvic)
4. Now flash the ROM.zip from recovery.
5. Reboot!
Follow these steps every time you flash a new ROM!

after i flashed the recovery you gave me and i used fastboot reboot it just gets stuck on the htc logo.
Flashed the recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (rename it to recovery.img)
Fastboot erase cache
Flashing a recovery will not mess up the actual working rom !

I flashed the recovery successfully but what new? tried the "Mount usb" option but it just gives me 2 options "Go back" or "Unmount"....
Leave it on that screen and hook up the usb cable....wait......wait.....and it should pop up eventually

10 minutes and still counting... nothing happened.
Don't know what you did the first time ? Try this one then
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
It must work. Otherwise there is something with the phone. Or you messed up a command somewhere ?

I did what you told me and im still stuck on htc logo... on the "Mounts and storag" menu it only has the option of go back nad unmount...
I dont care if i need to switch back to any other rom, even go back to stock and unrooted. i just want to be abe to use the phone
I know what you mean but mount as usb drive must work. Do you use the original HTC usb cable ? Are you using a direct usb 2.0 port on the pc ?
And if you see the : unmount and go back text you are in the mounting menu, at that point the sdcard is being mounted ! Don't tap "go back" or "unmount"
