This is my first time rooting a device so I'm not sure what I'm doing but I have unlocked the bootloader and am trying to use the HTC quick root tool and also have the clockwork mod installed. When I try to root using the universal exploit on this program I get:
Checking device connection... device connected
preparing universal exploit... okay
rebooting to recovery... okay
waiting for device... okay
running universal exploit... okay
rebooting device... okay
waiting for device... okay
checking TEMP ROOT access... failed
error universal exploit failed
any ideas?
Easy Ace Root Tool.
Huh, you have CWM already installed that means you only need to flash Superuser or a custom rom.
1. download the zip file here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
2. Put the ZIP file in your SD.
3. Reboot into CWM Recovery
4. Choose install from ZIP.
5. Find your zip file
6. Install it.
8. Reboot and your done!
Installing a custom rom :
1. Download a custom rom (1000 of Roms on XDA search the developer section)
2. Extract the boot.img
3. Save it somewhere
3. Place the zip file in tour SD
4. Reboot in CWM
5. Install the ROM in tour SD with Install from zip
6. Reboot in Bootloader
7. Open CMD and type in : /fastboot flash boot.img (Depends on where you have saved it, fort example if you saved it on C:/ type in /fastboot flash C:/boot.img)
8. Reboot and your done!

have some trouble flashing the custom ROM. When I boot to bootloader, should I select fastboot and then connect to pc? because when i type /fastboot flash C:/boot.img i get this:
c:\>/fastboot flash C:/boot.img
'/fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
1.Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (CWM or 4ext)
2.Download the rom zip file you are willing to flash to your PC.
3.Extract the the boot.img from inside the zip file (do not extract the whole rom)
6.Put the zip file in your sdcard.
5.Boot into recovery and do a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system)
6.Flash rom (install zip from sdcard)
7.Reboot into bootloader again and plug the phone to the PC.
8.You need to be in fastboot usb (if you see HBOOT USB PLUG in the phone, just press power to toggle)
9.Open a cmd/terminal and navigate to where the boot.img file is located.
10.Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
11.Reboot and now you should be enjoying your custom rom
Here is a better explained instruction for flashing custom rom's on DHD

Good write up. Simple and to the point.
Ummm.......OK, what did I miss?
You kinda forgot the part about rooting the kernel...
LOL!!!
Hey I wrote this at about 7am!
First, this guide tells you how to use cwm to flash a kernel, not how to root it.
Second, there's a need for such a howto?

Simply put. Yes.
It is also recommended to let the phone sit right after first boot with the new kernel. Then do a reboot.
I need few confirmations and ask few questions here before i will flash to ARHD 3.0.
What i already did:
1) Unlock bootloader from HTCdev site
2) Install CWM Recovery and create Nandroid Backup
3) Because i wanted to apply OTA update i flashed the stock Recovery back
4) Applied the OTA update
5) Flashed CWM Recovery and made Nandroid Backup
So now i want to install ARHD 3.0 on my One X and from what i learned i should do the following:
1a) Download Firmware Package to virtual SDcard from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551581
Question: My CID is now NONE because i unlocked the phone. Can i find out what was my CID before?
1b) Download ARHD 3.0 ROM ~541MB and store it on virtual SD card
1c) Download Boot.img to my pc
1d) Download Super wipe script to virtual SDcard
2) Flash with CWM "Firmware from 1.28.401.9 RUU" downloaded from the step 1a)
Question: I assume there should be some new visible option for flashing PJ46IMG.zip in the Bootloader? Or i should use CWM and choose the "choose zip from sdcard" ?
Question: Nandroid backup needed now?
3) Flash boot.img via fastboot command in PC
4) Flash Super wipe script with "choose zip from sdcard" in CWM
5) Flash ARHD 3.0 with "choose zip from sdcard" in CWM
6) Do a Nandroid Backup
7) Reboot device
So is this the valid guide on how i should proceed ? Help a noob please.
Thank you!
After contacting guys on IRC i fixed the required steps (thanks broncogr):
1) Download ARHD 3.0 ROM ~541MB and store it on virtual SD card
2) Download Boot.img to my pc
3) Flash boot.img via fastboot command in PC
5) Flash ARHD 3.0 with "choose zip from sdcard" in CWM
6) Do a Nandroid Backup
7) Reboot device
Sorry to intrude guys but this is my first post so please be kind.
Since this happened i have searched these forums and now im more confused than ever so i am hoping someone can help me.
I have never done anything like this before so took the time to read up.
i unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV, one i had done that i followed these instructions
Flashing roms with an unlocked bootloader
Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (CWM or 4ext)
Download the rom zip file you are willing to flash to your PC.
Extract the the boot.img from inside the zip file (do not extract the whole rom)
Put the zip file in your sdcard.
Boot into recovery and do a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system)
Flash rom (install zip from sdcard)
Reboot into bootloader again and plug the phone to the PC.
You need to be in fastboot usb (if you see HBOOT USB PLUG in the phone, just press power to toggle)
Open a cmd/terminal and navigate to where the boot.img file is located.
Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot and now you should be enjoying your custom rom
the install of Blackout ICS ROM seemed to go ok, once i had flashed the boot.img in the last step i rebooted and now once past the HTC screen loads of lines appear on the screen which gradually fade and then it just reboots to Clockwork recovery.
I have tried to recover using the back up that was made and this makes no difference.
My phone isnt rooted and as i say im more confused as to my next step than ever
Is there a step by step procedure for installing twrp and blisspop on my e980? presently running the 20i firmware. Tried Flashify but it fails to install twrp. This phone has root but is carrier unlocked but has never been flashed so I am stumped. Any help appreciated
I had this same issue but with installing a recovery in the first place due to the locked bootloader and I couldn't find fixes.
But some info would be useful
1. What firmware are you on ex : Kitkat 4.4.2 etc - this can be checked in about phone option.
I used GPro recovery then flashed twrp via that using the unofficial cwm it installed file for the recovery at the bottom of this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/general/root-bootloader-unlock-t3203573
Steps that may work
1. Enabled unknown sources in security
2. Installed the GPro apk file
3. Hit flash kitkat recovery for g pro
4. Moved the recovery.IMG file for twrp to /sdcard
5. Booted into recovery using the app
6. Flash the recovery.IMG file
What might work (worked for me)
1. Installed cwm using the above method steps 1-3
2. Get latest twrp.IMG (recovery.IMG)
3. Go into flashify
4. Hit flash recovery image
5. Hit choose a file and use your preferred file browser to navigate to your file
6. Hit flash now.
7. Reboot to recovery or normal reboot.
You can mix these two methods and try them differently as for blisspop
1.Get the .zip file
2.Boot into your recovery
3. Wipe System,cache,dalvik cache, and data.
4. Flash the .zip file.
5. Hit reboot to system
WARNING make a backup and check if the .zip is corrupted before booting into recovery
You can also Google methods for installing ROMs.
Hope I helped.
software status modified i wand to use linieageos with gapps and recovery TWRP somone to help me stap by step and save my life!!!!
love you all
You need to download the latest twrp for the Z2F/Nash from the TWRP site. One of the files is the twrp installer, which should be moved to your z2's sdcard. The img file stays on a PC.
Before you do anything, the Android platform tools should be present. Or you can instead install minimal adb/fastboot from XDA. Once you boot twrp you have to format data and type yes, so the rom and other files should be on an SD card. Alternatively, one may opt for adb sideload.
1.Flash LOS. Without rebooting, flash the twrp installer otherwise it won't stick.
2.Reboot recovery and flash gapps, then reboot recovery again
3. Reboot system
