S-on AND Root

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.

First you will need to reflash your recovery while your phone is in fastboot mode, you can do this by opening a cmd and using the command 'fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilehere.img' and changing recoveryfilehere for your recovery file's name.
I am a bit unsure on these next steps but I believe you will then need to boot into the recovery you just installed and then use the following commands.
'adb devices'
'adb shell'
'mount sdcard'
and then in another cmd you will use the command 'adb push ROMNAME.zip /sdcard
then reboot into recovery and look for your ROM in the root of your sd card and install it as usual. Don't forget to flash the kernal too.

I tried these steps but didnt get result

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26119526&postcount=17 and adapt to yours.

i tired many times , but each time get message " error:device not found" :S

Do you have HTC USB driver installed ?

yes i did

So it means that you're successfully boot into recovery by fastboot boot recovery.img and adb not working for you ?
Please note, adb will not work when you do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

No working rom, USB in fastboot dont work! Help?

Hello, i was trying to install the MIUI rom on my phone through recovery. It seems as i tried installing an update and not the base rom. After the installation my phone got stuck at the boot screen and i tried connecting my phone to my computer to transfer the base rom which i downloaded later. I cannot get the fastboot to work with my computer anymore. I tried to format the SD-card, clearing all possible caches in the recovery etc. What do i do now? Is there any way to get my phone working again or am i f*ucked?
If i try to mount the usb storage in recovery it says: "E: Unable to open ums lunfile".
If anyone can help me, or have a clue what to do, please dont hesitate to help me. Im freaking stuck...

What do you mean you can't get into fasrboot? Please elaborate.

Im sorry, i mean that if i go into fastboot with my usb cable connected to my computer, i cannot get any storage appear on my computer. I cannot transfer files or anything. I want to transfer a correct rom to flash in recovery so i can use my phone.

You cannot transfer data in fastboot mode. That's not a problem. Boot into CWM, go to mounts and storage, and mount USB storage.

[Q] How to access Phone's internal Storage during Flashing

I need very SERIOUS help. It's my first time to try to flash my HTC One X. I downloaded all necessary files and proceed to follow below instructions on how to install CM10 on my phone.
The problem is (I know this is very stupid) I forgot to copy the CM10 zip file to my phone's internal storage. I thought I did it already but I only realized that I didn't when I was on Step 14 already. Now I cannot access my phone's internal storage and my phone won't boot anymore. Please help.
1.Copy the CM10 ZIP file to your phone’s internal SD card.
2.On the PC, extract the Fasboot.zip. You will get a folder named Fastboot.
3.Extract the boot.img file from the cm10_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri-028.zip file and place it into the Fastboot folder.
4.Turn your phone off.
5.Boot to Fastboot Mode. Hold down the Volume Down and the Power buttons until the screen turns on to enter Bootloader Mode.
6.In Bootloader Mode, highlight Fastboot Mode using the Volume keys and select it by using the Power button.
7.Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable.
8.Open a command prompt on your PC and navigate it to the Fastboot folder.
9.In the command prompt, type fastboot devices to check if your device has successfully connected to your PC. Your phone’s serial number should appear on the screen.
10.Flash the boot.img by typing the following in the command prompt:◦fastboot flash boot boot.img
11.Go back to your phone and select Bootloader to go back to the main Bootloader menu.
12.In Bootloader Mode, highlight Recovery using the Volume keys and select it by using the Power button to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
13.Select Wipe data/factory reset > Yes.
14.Select Install ZIP from SD card > Choose ZIP from SD card > select the cm10_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri-028.zip file > Yes.
15.Select Go back > Reboot system now.

Thanks TToivanen! :good: You're a genius! Now, I was able to flash my phone, update CWM to latest version, copy CyanogenMod 10 to my phone's internal storage and finally install it.
Thanks a lot to everyone!
I have a problem with WiFi though, but I think it's another topic. Won't hurt if you can help also. LOL

Wifi / Data / GPs issues etc are usually to do with the ROM/Kernel.
So as stated, this is a totally different issue and should be resolved in the relevant thread !!
Glad everything is sorted though !!

[Q] Install ROM via fastboot?

Am trying to install cyanogenmod onto my OneX and did a full wipe/format of everything from CMW including sdcard, but now cant find a way to get the zip file onto my sdcard to install the new rom. I dont have a backup of any kind unfortunately
When I run 'adb devices', nothing shows up in the list. I can connect via fastboot, but the rom wont install from there.
Can anyone advise how to install the rom from here? I have searched but no luck so far
Thanks in advance, Barry

Rename it to recovery.img and flash it
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter it and go to mounts and storage and tap the last option in the list ! It will mount the sdcard as a mass storage device .....
Then copy the CM10.1, the GAPPS and the VENDOR INSTALLER
http://db.tt/u5FF3jgi
Full wipe already done ? Then install CM10.1 and GAPPS and VENDORS without rebooting the phone !
Then type :
Adb reboot bootloader
(when the command does not work you hold the volume - and the power button pressed until you see the bootloader)
When it boots to the bootloader you flash the boot.img from the CM10.1 rom and then you reboot !
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
Done ! :thumbup:

I also have this same problem in my One X, as this ..
actually, I can go to fastboot to flash img & can go to CWM Recovery (v5.8.1.8),
then connect the USB flash drive to USB OTA cable, then try to "mounts and storage",
but It always shown on screen as "E: Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)"
Please give me the links to recovery.img and CM10.1, the GAPPS and the VENDOR INSTALLER, follow by your suggestion.
I will try to follow your step, and hope it would be work for me.
thank you very much in advance.
