Hey guys, gotta make this quick. As of lately, I unlocked my bootloader with the intentions of installing a different ROM. I've tried nearly every ROM (including the stock de/odexed ones) and nothing will stay on. With every flash I have done a FULL wipe and flashed correct boot.imgs, but still nothing more than being rebooted a minute after the ROM starts up. I need this phone to run again because I can't stand the loaner I have.
Did you do the OTA Update?

I suppose I can give it a go... but do you have any idea of what's making everything fail so horribly? Because honestly, HTC devices are a whole new ballpark to me.
the 3 ROMS whichu cant ignore are
CM10
AOKP JB
PACman ROM

He asked because the OTA update will cause exactly what you describe.
I would revert back to pre-OTA by running the RUU and then relock/reroot/rerom from there.

What he said. The OTA update will cause Custom roms and kernels not to boot. So the RUU will fix the problem.

Where would I find an Ubuntu-friendly RUU? My Win7 partition decided to s#!t the bed so I'm stuck running on Ubuntu 12.10 until I can get an external HDD to back up all of my Windows files. Thanks.
EDIT: If there is no "Ubuntu-friendly" version, does it atleast play nicely with Wine? This has become a pain in the tush and honestly, I'd just love to get this over with so I can have a functioning phone again. Not to mention get some of that JellyBean goodness.
EDIT #2: Nevermind! I figured it out and now it's all good in the hood.

Other than MikRunny's 3.5 ROM I can't get my phone to stop rebooting immediately after booting up. I was running sense 4a and after I turned my phone off once to reboot it, that was the last time. I have a back up of sense 4a so if I can fix this random reboot I can get back to where I left off. So can someone please help me?

Judging by a couple other posts I've seen by you, you're coming down from the latest VZW RUU that just recently got a proper way to s-off.
If this is the case it's a known issue with the 'downgrade' that sense roms give random reboots at the lockscreen. There are several threads both here and at rootzwiki talking about the issue.
Using a non-sense rom seems to be the only way on these phones at the moment. Perhaps in the future someone will figure it out but since it's an older phone they may not put in the effort.

But MikRunny's ROM is Sense? So how is that possible? And I've ran sense 4a but after I turn my phone off once, with either sense 4a or mikrunny, it reboots immediately at lockscreen. Someone told me to let it keep rebooting and eventually it start working in minutes, but I've let it sit and reboot like 20min and it still didn't work.
another ROM
I suggest trying Inc 2 HD... it's awesome.
But for your current problem, I guess you know to just hold the down volume key when you reboot into recovery?
It could very well be an issues because you have the latest firmware 6.****. All the current sense rom's are for 5.***. I'm just guessing, but maybe try flashing aero's cm9 and see if you get the same reboot. However you will need to flash the most current version of CWM. What version do you have?

Yes mikrunny is sense. As I said, sense roms are having issues with the new firmware.
You'll have to boot into recovery and flash a non sense rom (CM7, CM9, AOKP...).
I would first start by flashing the stock latest RUU..
Looks like a possibe fix

How do I do that sir? and Would this possibly allow me to flash a sense ROM? If not then I'll just flash a non - sense ROM since that'll work on my firmware appariently.

There's a couple ruu threads out there, find the 5.10, call it pg32img.zip, and flash bootloader style like a radio.

How do I verify it? And can I download it with my phone, use root explorer to rename and move to root of as, boot into bootloader and then flash it? And will this surely fix the prollem?
Sent from my vivow using XDA
Jayydude there is a lot of warnings about your version of software and downgrading right now. However to answer your question on verifying the MD5 sum if you go to the zip file in root explorer and then longpress the zip file choose properties and it will calculate your MD5 sums. Then verify they are the same as what the download posted. If not download again. The MD5 sums will be on the very bottom. It will calculate it for you. I also have a program on my computer at home that will verify it for you but I am at work now so dont remember what it is called. But root explorer will work fine I use it all the time to verify. Also I am sure you have seen it but make sure not to flash the RUU from China you will loose data and not be able to get it back.
Have you tried getting a location for when you unlock& reboot. Do you know how

sorry i meant logcat
why dont you fully return to stock/remove s-off and try doing a htcdev unlock instead.
Edit: I dont think you can go back to stock. The newest RUU has not been released
I got my incredible 2 almost two years ago, and spent the whole time having it be rooted and messing with different roms completely carefree. I was supposed to get an upgrade soon, but sadly that didn't happen and won't for another few months. Any ways, I returned my phone to stock for the trade in. Since I am stuck with this phone for awhile longer, the default stock is driving me mad with the slow bloatware and etc, so time to root again.
I downgraded to 2.3.3,which was the easy part, and then used revolutionary. It said I was already s off, and asked if I wanted to install a recovery. I said yes. Upon reboot of my phone it turned itself off and rebooted. Again. And again. In an infinite loop. I went back into recovery and wiped cache and installed the su zip from my sd card, flashed another Rom. Nothing. Installing another Rom has it stuck on boot animation. I have to restore stock and start all over.
I'm confused on what I am doing wrong. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Hi guys, brand new to the forum, member wise, but been using XDA site for years. Have had the Verizon HTC One since it was released in August and been patiently waiting for S-Off to be achievable. Awesome for Sonic buying a Java card and wish I could have sent mine to him but unfortunately did not have a backup phone to use.
I was wondering if someone could create a guide to complete S-Off with Beaup's mod? I don't want to brick my phone since it's the only one I have, so I figured this could be beneficial to everyone, not just me.
Thanks guys
If you follow his guide, it's pretty straight forward. It failed the first time for me because of either not having the stock kernel, or just a bad usb port, but that didn't brick my phone. It just didn't do anything. Tried it the second time and it worked like a charm.

Thanks man for clearing it up. Just kind of new to HTC in particular. First HTC phone. Was just kind of curious if I had to worry about anything different.
Im running nos sense but when i tried to go back to my backup of stock before root i got a md5 mismatch on cwm and so it wont backup to that. Does anybody know where i can get the stock rom to be able to run the s-off method. thanks

You should be able to flash one of the stock based roms and make sure you have the stock kernel.

Oh ok cool. Would nos sense work or do I need to use like Andy's bonestock rom?
I unlocked on "Day One", installed a custom recovery, and therefore never took the OTA. Today (thanks to beaups) I'm s-off also. I've read several people say you can't take the OTA with a custom recovery installed. Question: Is .10 noticeably better than .8 and if so, is there a way to update at this point? I think I'd have to wait till a stock recovery is available, flash it, then dl OTA and install and then reflash custom recovery. Is that correct?
If you really want to in the android development section there are flashable zips that are .10.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk 4
I've noticed nothing. Given that it is an update, and that RumRunner works with it, I can't imagine it would hurt to flash up to .10 and then S-OFF, or flash up if you've already S-OFFed.

If you are referring to this thread, I don't see anyone having success with it. If there is another I'm missing, please let me know. Also, I'm not sure if I want it, wondering if anyone noticed a difference with anything (good or bad).
I'm in the same boat. Running stock, rooted, debloated (by me) ROM and custom recovery. Thought about running the decrypted RUU and then the update just to get it, but decided to wait for 4.3

I'm assuming that there really isn't a difference between .8 and .10 except some "bug fixes". Correct me if I'm wrong. I'd make a nandroid and try the zips. If you wait until later I'll flash them myself.

I haven't noticed anything different. Phone doesn't run any faster, doesn't get hotter/stays cooler. Not really sure what it was they were trying to fix. I haven't noticed anything. I imagine it's the same difference between the .2 and .8 versions.

I took the 4.3 (I know, I know, never take an OTA).
I want to root and flash CM11, but there is no root method for 4.3 yet.
Anyone know if there is any way to root right now (flashing 4.2 firmware or something like that) or do I have to wait? If so, how long do you think?
Thanks!

Nothing yet. All we can do is wait and see. Since there are no updates about progress that I've found from those who've posted the patches, there is no good way to estimate how long, or even if, at this point.
I haven't ever tried it, but if you're S-ON and are on 4.3 will the phone block you from flashing the old 605.15 encrypted RUU?

Afraid so. Downgrading isn't possible.
were you s off before taking 4.3
If you were then you can get root back I did it using fastboot commands because adb will not seem to work for me after the update for me if you need some help let me know
If your s-off just flash a custom recovery and superuser apk

I'm in the exact same boat, friend. Never really saw a need to unlock or root prior to the OTA but now I'm having serious battery issues, mainly the phone radio using over 50% of my battery daily. I've been googling so hard I've almost broken my internets, but can't seem to find anyway to downgrade to use rum runner. I'm just dealing with it and hoping beaups and the other devs find a way to get us unlocked. Until then I'll wait patiently with my portable charger on hand lol.

What he is saying is that if you used rumrunner or sent it in to gain S-OFF, all you would have to do is download the superuser zip file and in TWRP flash the superuser file. When you reboot you might need to update the binaries but that would do it.
Gained root again on my device after taking the 4.3 update.

No, it won't work, it prevents your from downgrading, as HTC software has always done.
If I had a locked device, there are a couple things I would try to see if I could make it work.
Likely they wouldn't though, and I'd hate to get anyone's hopes up or send them down an unsuccessful path.
Bottomline being, there is currently no way to unlock, or to downgrade from a locked 4.3 device, to achieve an unlock.

Oh yeah I've been trying. I tried multiple downloads from multiple sources but they all hang up at the checking main version action and then fail. It's pretty much just playing the waiting game for rum runner and attempting patience. I'm not too hopeful for anything in the next few weeks since everyone has been busy with Christmas and such and New Years coming up. But if it can be done, the devs on here will do it.
