First of all, there is no Android 4.3 released yet. Look in the development section to find a rom to your taste. I would recommend something stable as a first custom rom.
Concerning the unlock token, the EasyAceRootTool also wants to install version 3.13 somewhere during those steps. First finish that, then follow the steps on the unlock token with HTCDev.
Simple, basic keypoints.
1. Unlock bootloader by following ALL steps @ htcdev.com (fully unlocked)
2. Flash a recovery.img via fastboot on pc.
3. Flash a superuser.zip via recovery.
4. Backup rooted stock Rom. (save just in case of problems)
5. Flash New Rom.zip via recovery (need to do full wipe).
6. MUST DO, DON'T SKIP ---> Flash the boot.img (inside Rom.zip) via fastboot on pc for every Rom change! Including when doing a recovery.
7. You tell me.

You need to update your hboot.
Hello,
when i start my phone with vol- and the power button, it says unlocked or something in pink.
when i do recovery, ClockworkMod opens i did following steps :
5. Use the ‘backup and restore’ feature of recovery to backup your existing ROM installation, software and data. This step is known as performing a nandroid backup. ALWAYS perform a backup before flashing a custom ROM, UNLESS you can afford to lose everything that’s on your phone at the moment.
Note: ALWAYS choose to perform the following steps 6, 7 and 8 UNLESS the ROM you are attempting to flash is an updated version of the same ROM that you are currently using, and is compatible with the current installation’s data. It is usually mentioned with the update whether you can install it over a previous version without wiping its data or not.
6. Get back to the main recovery menu and use the option ‘wipe data/factory reset’. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select “Yes – Delete all user data”.
7. From the main recovery menu, select ‘wipe cache partition’. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select ‘Yes – Wipe Cache’.
8. From the main recovery menu, enter the ‘advanced’ menu. From this menu, select ‘Wipe Dalvik Cache’. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select ‘Yes – Format/System’.
9. From the main recovery menu, enter the ‘Mounts and Storage’ menu. From this menu, select ‘Format/System’. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select ‘Yes – Wipe Dalvik Cache’.
10. Go back to the main recovery menu by pressing the back button and select the ‘Install zip from SD card’ option.
11. Select ‘choose zip from sdcard’ to get a list of the files and folders on your SD card. Scroll to the ROM’s file that you copied there in step 3, and select it. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select ‘Yes – Install file_name.zip’ where file_name.zip is the name of the zip file that you are trying to install.
12. Wait patiently while the ROM is flashed to your phone via recovery.
13. Once the installation is complete, head back to the main recovery menu if you aren’t there, and select ‘reboot system now’. Your phone will now boot into the newly installed ROM.
from another topic.
buth when i reboot the system, the only thing that happens is a black screen with : =SoftBank on it.
how do i flash things to my htc?
when i restore my HD with the ClockworkMod thing, it starts back up, buth i can't call wit it (it doesn't ask for pin-code, and it's an old android version)
best regards
Is your bootloader unlocked? If so, every time you flash a ROM you need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I installed HTC Sync then, unistalled (keeping the drivers).
I installed the HBOOT modified drivers in device manager. it now says:
"Android device"
|
"My HTC"
I ran unrevoked3, successful, done. I did one click only and let it run.
I then downloaded Wildpuzzle 2.2 froyo (kept it zipped copied it to SDcard).
I powered down phone then pressed volDown and power together to go to boot menu.
my boot menu looks different to that of a video I saw:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
shouldn't it look like this?:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
HBOOT USB
note- it doesn't make a difference if my wildfire is plugged in to the pc, or if I'm running unrevoked at this point.
I wait for the update scan check thing, then I go down one to RECOVERY (If I'm running unrevoked at this point communication is lost) this takes me to ClockworkMod Recovery v (black screen, green text).
I choose "-wipe data/factory re" then "-install zip from sdc" choose my zip blaa blaa...
I see the install bar and it does it in a second, completed.
- reboot system now
I wait till phone is ready (have a sandwich very nice)
check menu/settings/about phone/software information.... still says:
Firmware version
2.1-update 1
Ahhhhhhhhh
I keep trying for three days different roms, typing here is last resort by papa roach!
HOW . DO . THIS . ?
edit your post and add a title.. please be more observant..
I hope you are not selecting the update.zip under the sdcard which might be the clockworkmod recovery image (rom manager based recovery installation keeps it there). Since clockworkmod recovery has that as an option above the zip file selection, it is a possibility (especially based on the sped of the update)

Hi! Thanks for this guide.
In the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093112 I asked about this same process, and was not sure if I first needed to install the US 3.0.1 ROM after unlocking the device. In one of the replies I was told I should, but in your guide you don't have that listed.
Do I need to flash the US 3.0.1 rom first, or not?

Was your xoom on a USA based 3.0.1, or an international 3.0.1?
Im on an SG Wifi Xoom also. Actually, I followed the instructions from BigRushDog's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074609.
I was rooted and on Tiamat 1.4 before I tried doing the update. It went flawless. Just follow the 3 steps in that thread. In essence, your xoom will have the US firmware and you will have access to books.
The extra steps highlighted by OP may be a safer bet though. Im not sure.

Anybody followed this guide on a UK WiFi? At the moment I am unlocked, but not rooted. This guide implies that you can update using CWM without root, which sounds logical, though it has been stated elsewhere that you need root :/

OK you don't need root to install CWM, and if you get the latest 3.2.0.0 it works on the external SD card out of the box (for installation of CWM follow the instructions above). Download the lastest CWM image here:

I followed the guide below to the letter (even step 1) to get my UK stock 3.0.1 to rooted US 3.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075260#
I did have to wipe (as I was in a bootloop), and I copied the MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip file directly to the SDcard via my PC (rather than pushing or mounting the card in CWM), but apart from that it all went OK
Bonus! All my apps were restored this time (as I had to do a factory reset a few days ago d/t a 3.0.1 issue)
...also my internal SD was untouched
Edit: Only thing missing was my AutoSport app which will not let me download, so will have to sideload.

Thank you for bringing this up ... forget to mention this
Hello, i've spent my entire night reading guides on this forum and youtube, but every guide is different and i ended up super-confused and frustrated so i decided to register and ask.
I've got an Xperia Arc S and i updated to ICS 4.0.4 using Sony Companion. I've seen some videos of Xperia Arcs with amazing interfaces (Jellybean and Kitkat) so i decided to try to install them because im getting SIM errors in the middle of calls with ICS.
I managed to unlock the bootloader by myself with Android Studio.
For the guide im following it says i should prepare 3 things before i install CyanogenMod 10 (Bootloader unlocked, Root the phone, and install CWM recovery).
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone, but it won't let me install CWM recovery.
Like i said i have an Arc S 4.0.4 with ICS and the CWM installations i find only work with 2.3 Gingerbread. People say for ICS you need to download an CWM auto installed from the market (X-part). But i installed that thing, i tap on the Install CWM tab and it says installation complete but after i restart i can't get into recovery mode, tried pressing volume up, volume down, back button, etc. Also tried the "Reboot phone into recovery mode" on the app i downloaded but i continues to boot normally, no recovery.
What should i do?
This are the steps i made on a notepad but im stucked:
1. Unlock bootloader [DONE]
2. Root phone [DONE]
3. Install ClockWorkMod Recovery. [Stucked here]
4. Download CyanogenMod 10 anzu + Google apps.
5. Download "Unlock SE xperia".
6. Download Flashtool
7. Copy zips to SD card (Cyanogen zip + google apps zip)
8. Copy boot.img from Cyanogen to "Unlock SE Xperia/fastboot_with_android_usb/fastboot".
9. Plug the phone and put in fastboot mode (blue led).
10. Open command prompt on "Unlock SE Xperia/fastboot_with_android_usb/fastboot"
11. Check everything is ok with the command "fastboot devices" Intro
12. Run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (I assume this is how you flash that kernell thing).
13. Unplug phone and access recovery mode with Power buttom + back button.
14. Select option "wipe data/factory reset"
15. Select option "wipe cache partition"
16. Select option "advanced", "wipe dalvik cache".
17. Select option "install zip from sd card" and select Cyanogen's zip
18. Repeat 17 but install the google apps' zip this time
19. Reboot system now
20. End.
Are those steps correct?.
Thank you.
I solved it, thanks for the lack of replies anyways lol

I just want it working as original or however which is more easier to work with
I would be really thankful for any help.
I asked you to make a new thread in M8 Q&A, not here.
I requested Moderator to move this to correct section
What I can see in your post, you still have TWRP recovery installed only the bootloader is relocked, right ?
Do you have a microSD in your device.
What you need to do :
1. Download this 1.80.720.1 TWRP backup : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62987237&postcount=153
2. Extract that TWRP.7z with 7-zip, then copy the folder 2015-04-26--06-07-46 KTU84P release-keys to where you have your TWRP backup
Let say you never make one before, boot into recovery then select "backup" then select "boot", "system" & "data" and select the storage your microsd then swipe to backup.
Now go to mount, and check whether MTP is enabled then connect to PC. Open SDCard on PC and browse to TWRP/BACKUPS/YourSerialNo/YourBackup
Copy folder 2015-04-26--06-07-46 KTU84P release-keys here.
3. In recovery, select wipe - advance wipe - tick Dalvik cache, Cache, System & data
4. In recovery, select restore - select folder 2015-04-26--06-07-46 KTU84P release-keys and tick only boot and system (leave data unticked) - Swipe to restore)
5. Reboot - run setup.
6. Check for software update - settings - about - software update. You should receive update for 4.30.720.4
7. Download the update file, once it asks to install select install later. Connect your device to PC. Copy the OTA zip from Internal storage/Downloads folder to PC.
8. Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, you'll see firmware.zip inside it. Extract out firmware.zip. Put the firmware.zip in your fastboot/adb folder
9. Boot your device to bootloader then run these commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
if failed : FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
repeat fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
10. check OTA again and install
11. Once first OTA done, check again as there is another OTA 4.30. 720.5
12. Done - you'll lose root and TWRP
13. If you want to root, you need to unlock bootloader and install TWRP and root again.
Hey thanks

Now go to mount, and check whether MTP is enabled then connect to PC. Open SDCard on PC and browse to TWRP/BACKUPS/YourSerialNo/YourBackup
Copy folder 2015-04-26--06-07-46 KTU84P release-keys here.
3. In recovery, select wipe - advance wipe - tick Dalvik cache, Cache, System & data
4. In recovery, select restore - select folder 2015-04-26--06-07-46 KTU84P release-keys and tick only boot and system (leave data unticked) - Swipe to restore)
5. Reboot - run setup.
6. Check for software update - settings - about - software update. You should receive update for 4.30.720.4
7. Download the update file, once it asks to install select install later. Connect your device to PC. Copy the OTA zip from Internal storage/Downloads folder to PC.
8. Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, you'll see firmware.zip inside it. Extract out firmware.zip. Put the firmware.zip in your fastboot/adb folder
9. Boot your device to bootloader then run these commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
if failed : FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
repeat fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
10. check OTA again and install
11. Once first OTA done, check again as there is another OTA 4.30. 720.5
12. Done - you'll lose root and TWRP
13. If you want to root, you need to unlock bootloader and install TWRP and root again.

It worked upto step 8 until the last reboot command on step 9 which didnt give ny error.However,the htc got stuck on the white htc logo and now there is stock android recovery.
The bootloader still relocked and s-off and software status-modified.
What could have possibly gone wrong? and what can be done now?
Thanks again for ur earlier response
Unlocked the bootloader but still getting stuck at the HTC logo after doing the fastboot reboot. What can be done?
So you managed to unlock bootloader ? Then remember never to relock it again.
Do you still have the TWRP recovery that meant for your device that you used before ?
Do you still have that firmware.zip ? Open it with 7-zip and extract out recovery.img
Then :
1. Install TWRP
2. Do the restore again but this time restore all data, boot & system
3. After restore, select reboot to bootloader
4. Install recovery.img (the one extracted from firmware.zip)
Then follow step 5 to 13 but SKIP 7,8 & 9
Thank you shall try this once home and let you know.. I appreciate
Is it possible to do a custom recovery on m8eye. Have tried looking for the Rom but couldn't find any.
I don 't get it? if he is s-off'd and s-cid'd he could unlock, relock, and what he want s to do.. a rom or a recovery to find will harder.. maybe at chinese forums? but why you wan t it original and now you ask for custom-recovery?

The more you relock and unlock it the higher the risk to brick the bootloader. It's not made to be unlocked and relocked many times !
There is no need to relock it anymore because all the things he wants to do can be done with an unlocked BL so no need to take unnecessary risks
Hello
To be sure not to make false manipulation, is this the right method please
Do you have any advice or other step ?
I've not forgotten anything ?
I have read some post XDA problems with encryption.
I do not have a password or PIN or my fingerprint is ok?
For the broken radio problem it is fixed?
I do not wish to cause damage to my device
Thank you for your answers
1 - Unlock bootloader via HTCdev
2 - Install TWRP:
- adb reboot download
- fastboot devices to check
- fastboot flash recovery files.img
- fastboot erase cache
- reboot to bootloader (not use adb or fastboot to reboot at this point. Use Volume-up and -down buttons to highlight reboot to bootloader and press Power button to select it)
- reboot to recovery (ATTENTION: do not allow TWRP to perform changes to system)
- perform a Nandroid of you you current boot and system image
- Reboot to TWRP again
- using adb, in twrp run - shell adb "echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT = true >> / data / .supersu" >> is this command still needed ???
- flash latest SuperSU
- Full reboot
3- Go to S-OFF

Looks good to me. Don't know why you need to wipe the cash though. All the mess about encryption and requiring a format of data to keep the radios working and so on was when the 10 first came out. Those problems have been solved for some time now. If you are going to install a custom rom like LeeDroid or Viper then there is no need to flash SuperSu as these roms are pre-rooted. Otherwise, after the reboot to TWRP just swipe to allow modifications unless you have a specific reason to decrypt, everything should be fine. I've heard some people having problems with SuperSu v2.82 so you might want to avoid that one. I'm using v2.79 SR3 with zero problems.
Hello and thank you for the return
I did the steps on the HTC last night
- Unlock bootloader via HTC DEV.*> ok
- Installation TWRP > ok
- SuperSU installation via TWRP ok
- S-OFF small problems:
>> The S-OFF with sunshine with good throw the process*:
- 1st reboot ok shunshine run again
- 2st reboot, Problem, HTC asks for a password to decrypt the device
(I do not have a password to unlock the screen and I did not activate the fingerprint reader).
Reboot to recovery*:
I do not have the options "wipe encryption" I perform a wipe DATA
OK HTC reboot without password request
Ok the status is good: s-off but bootloader has become locked again!
I then unblock the bootloader again with the file bin
my status final is*:
- Unlock
- S-OFF
- However, TWRP no longer offers the "read only" options to the boot
And I do not have the options "wipe encryption"
is it normal ?
Then I install a ROM without problems?
thank you

You have achieved your goals. There is no "wipe encryption" setting in TWRP. You can now install a custom rom. Now get the RUU.exe for your device and download it to your computer. Should you ever want to put your device back in its original state you will be able to do that. Your phone will remain unlocked and S-Off, but the recovery, boot, firmware, system, data, etc., will go back to the factory state it was in. Happy flashing.....

Take a look at LeeDrOiD or Viper both have it as an option during Aroma installation. Both have a 100% JPEG quality option andngreat audio.
As an addition. Wipe encryption has been replace by Wipe > Format Data in TWRP.
