Hello! I need your help guys!
I was running a stock device and tried to install the new Maximus Rom. I followed the video tutorial step by step, I manage to unlock via HTC Dev, root, flash recovery, install SU, relock, flash Hboot 1.23, and when I tried to re-unlock, Win Cmd gives me access denied. What can I doo?
I need help!
Hey, why did u re-lock? You just leave it unlocked otherwise no custom ROMs
Correct me if I'm wrong, but re-lock only necessary to update h-boot with RUU...

First of all thanks for the answer. That is how they explained in the tutorial, I just followed it. Apparently to flash the new hboot, the 1.23, you need to be re-locked.
Now you have to do it all over from step one , unlock through htcdev install cwm install custom room etc.
Because when you re lock then youre back to stock recovery and stock sense rom, considering that you have run ruu.

The thing is that I haven't managed to install the rom, just to change the Hboot. I tried to run the whole unlock through HTC Dev I get the same error, the phone should be rooted with custom recovery flashed, just with the bootloader locked. The phone won't boot theold rom due to the hboot change.

As stated, like a dummy i used the htc unlock method and really want to correct my mistake. i lost my backup of my stock rom so everytime i relock all i get is the fastboot screen. tried flashing the stock ruu file and i get "main version is newer" or something like that. Could it be the file?
I would just flash to a stock based ROM, and try that.
Im running andybonestock at the moment but i want to relock and unroot, remove Superuser etc.

Use the 2.3.4->2.3.3 downgrade method to reset your hboot version to .97 and then run Revolutionary.
Edit: Or, try flashing a stock recovery .img through an unlocked hboot using fastboot and then reset your data inside the android os. Then try relocking your bootloader. I would do this first. Then do the above.
Sounds like I need to track down a recovery image. I tried downgrading with the bootloader locked and unlocked and got nowhere

Got the RUU to work. Locked the bootloader, left it on the fastboot screen. Plugged it in and let it work its magic. No problems at all.

Hi everyone,
I want to S-off my device again, so I don't need to reflash the Boot.img of every custom rom over and over again.
I've tried to flash my device with the DHD Stock 1.32 Rom to use jkoljo's method for S-off'ing my device.
So I put the PD98IMG.zip on my SDcard and let the HBoot flash it. After the reboot I got stuck at HTC Logo and this happens too after flashing PD98IMG.zip's boot.img
So is there another way to S-off my device while I'm HTCDevUnlocked or is it game over for S-off?
I've googled for some time on the net, but I couldn't find a DHD specific result.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, will try it when I got the time
I guess, I need to be on an original rom or a Sense-rom
Do you know how I can flash an original rom from HTC itself? I thought it was like putting P98IMG.zip on the sd and let HBoot find it and flash it.
But after that I got stuck at HTC-logo, and flashing the boot.img doesn't work neither :s
I really don't know how to flash DHD's Froyo rom after (HTCDev) unlocking my device
Run the RUU of the OS you were last on, so if you were on WWE 2.50 run that RUU, or if you were on 3.12 Sense 3.0 then run that, relock the bootloader, and run attn1's Ace Hack Kit, it will automatically do the downgrade for you so you get S-OFF.

So I need to relock it before I can run that RUU?
Ok, I will try it when I have the time to do it.
Thanks everyone!
Hellloo xda...is there anyone who can gimme a proper step to step guide for unrooting my htc one v.
1. Download the HTC Asia India RUU from Football's collection in the development section
2. While that's downloading, relock your bootloader using the command
Code:
fastboot oem lock
3. Open the RUU. Find the temp folder it created and open ROM.zip from inside it with 7Zip. Extract the recover.img and flash it
Code:
fasboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Run the RUU and your phone's status will be *** RELOCKED *** and unrooted.
So why do you want to unroot?
Whenever I install custom Rom my sd card and WiFi doesn't work...soo I installed custom Rom without having a nandroid.backup.that's y I was asking.neways thanks a lot for replying.this. is my second one v(replacement)
sent from my sexoo one v
My build number is1.56.720.2 and the ruu is 1.58.707.3.what should i do now??
how do i find the temp folder??..
What is the use of other images???in rom folder..does this stock ruu flashing fixes error?
So what exactly are you trying to do now? Before you said unroot the phone, then you said install custom ROM in a later post.
could you also please find a way to help me? my htc one v freeze forever after i turn it on, please help me
Assuming you're on stock rom, have you try factory reset in bootloader ?
Do you know your software version or cid no. ?
He sent a pm telling me that his phone is rooted and he flashed a zip file that supposedly increases the SD card speed, and apparently causes soft bricks too
I think the only thing to do is re-flash the RUU because I don't think he did a backup in CWM Recovery.
Roxas84, please confirm.
I see.. if he can send the file, sometimes do a revert.zip will help. The easiest is reflash the same rom.zip with wipe cache & system. It should correct the error.
Hey dudes,
I was going to start the same thread but since this is open I want to ask you one question:
If I root the phone, flash cwm, and then I want to return to stock (for warranty purposes) how can I 'uninstall' cwm? Because for unroot I know how to do it, but uninstall custom recovery I never done that even on my older phone - Htc hero.
I'm not new to recoveries, custom roms, flashing and all this kind of stuff, but this is a problem that I don't know how to handle it since I didn't needed to uninstall the custom recovery in the past.
TIA!
L.E: To Answer my own question:
D) ROM is stock, bootloader unlocked, CWM recovery and rooted
- download OTA Rootkeeper from Play Store
- run the OTA Rootkeeper and click protect root
- no need to relock bootloader
- boot to bootloader and fastboot flash the stock recovery
- run the OTA update
- Once done, run OTA Rootkeeper and click restore root
Thanks @ckpv5 for these awesome guides
I just summarized this thread in the following tut but with much more detail:
[TUT] Re-flash stock ROM (RUU) after bricking a rooted device (for noobs)
Roxas84, follow this tut if ckpv5's suggestion above doesn't work.
1ceb0x, it will also show how to revert to stock recovery.

i need help cause mine is a koodo one can sombody link me to a thread to unroot the htc one v
Just restore the nandroid backup you made before rooting your phone.
Hello guys, I want to unroot my One V but I have a problem. I don't find my RUU. HBOOT says:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
Radio-3831.18.00.282
eMMc-boot
Which ruu should I use?
Thx!
Dude you don't look here you look at your software number in settings
Oh! My device says 2.19.666.3 and again, there's not RUU with this mention...
I've rooted this HTC Desire HD w/ the Ace Hack Kit. I have CWM installed.
BUT, the bootloader is set to S-ON. How can I turn it to S-OFF?? I can't fastboot flash boot boot.img since no remote is allowed due to S-ON.
Yet, I need to do this to get the phone to boot into a new custom ROM!
Is there a CWM flashable file I can use to do this?
Need some pointers.
NM. A bit more digging and I figured it out.
Needed to use the HDH HBoot Updater by Behtash and then use HTCDev's bootloader unlock.
Flashed the boot.img from my custom rom, then flashed the custom rom from CWM.
All is well But man was I in a pickle for a bit.
If you didn't end up with S-OFF after the AAHK method, it didn't run completely. It either simply downgraded your phone or had an error. Anyway, glad you ended up getting the HTCDEV method to work.
My Desire was rooted before with a custom ROM. I've flashed back the original firmware, therefore the root was gone.
I followed the tutorial at this thread but I get stuck when I want to boot into recovery. The standard holding power and volume down procedure didn't work so I used ADB to boot into recovery. My device rebooted, but I get the red triangle and after that the 'Can't open /cache/recovery/command' error. I found out this means that the recovery isn't proparly installed.
When I use ADB to flash clockworkmod recovery Ithe message '< waiting for device >' remain standing. My Desire is in the HTC Sync modus, I see My HTC in windows device manager.
What is the next step to take? I've bricked an tablet before so I want to do the right thing.
Are you s-off? Also you use fastboot to flash the recovery, not adb.

Good point, I was forgotten all about s-off and on, it was a long time ago that I rooted my Desire.
I think I am not, beacause flashing the ROM of HTC also gives me a non-rooted phone. I'll check it this evening. Is using the tool from htcdev.com/bootloader the best way to become s-off?

No that will unlock your bootloader, not give you s off. Use revolutionary.
I found out I'm s-off, after I flashed clockworkmod recovery I used unrevoked to root. The rooting didn't succeed, I get the message 'failed to get root. Is your firmware to new?
I was on RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release, I have flashed an older stock ROM from the list on this page (1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984), and will try it again.
I'll let you know what the results are.

After you flashed recovery, there was no need to use unrevoked. All you had to do was boot into recovery and flash superuser.zip file. That would have rooted your existing rom.
However, what is your ultimate aim? If you want a ROM, you can simply flash the optimal hboot for the ROM (optional but recommended), boot into recovery, full wipe and flash the rom. The ROM will already be pre-rooted.

Don't use unrevoked. just flash the super su zip using cwm.

You're completly right, I was somewhatconfused, it has been a while since I last flashed a ROM, I was to much happy with Oxy ZM. :silly:
Everything is ok now, I've flashed succesfully. Thanks.
