[Q] Rooting and S-off Problem - Verizon HTC One (M7)

Hey guys, need some help. I've tried everything I can think of to get this to work. Currently using rumrunner to root and s-off. I am on OS:10.605.15 and used the correct version. I'm running rumrunner on unbuntu12.04 with 32bit libraries installed. Clean install with wubi. Updated and everything. I've used rumrunner for 0.10, 0.8 and 0.15. I just get loops on pouring or " heh, just a small shot etc" about 10 times. I terminate after. Any clues?
Edit: Also using original USB Cable and USB 2.0 port. Just to make sure nothing can go wrong.

[REQ][HOW TO] Relock or Unroot EVO

I have been searching the web for how to relock my EVO. This is because i am taking it back to sprint for a screen fix and I have learned from the PPCGEEKS thread all the problems and warranty stuff related to rooting as well as the odds of them discovering that I have rooted it. I just don't want to risk it and I would like to know how to relock, just for the knowledge.
Does anyone have specific instructions how??

Download first and last, and flash in the same sequence.
So thats all?? its done? It's unrooted? That seems simple.
Yep, that's how easy it is.
On some phones (one out 5 I "control") I had to get all 3 and flash in the same sequence, otherwise last one wouldn't flash over the first - not sure why.

that surprises me. the latest RUU should flash over anything *theoretically*.
what error did it give you when you attempted?
yes, it should be easy to restore the phone to stock. think of all their service departments fixing/refurb'n phones. one simple flash and its all completely stock no matter what was loaded before.
for those more technically included, since this is the dev board, if the eng build RUU is loaded the PRI is downgraded and as of now, no currently released RUU is able to upgrade the PRI ... but thats such a small issue, can almost guarantee nobody will notice.
Damn screen... I have to do the same thing, and just one other question, besides those files I will just have to use Htc Sync to flash them right?

Those RUUs are just exe files. So sync will provide you with drivers yes, but after downloading you just run from that download with your phone plugged in.
wow after reading that thread on ppcgeeks i dont think i ever want to leave xda! must be a young crowd over there. i ran the latest 1.47 RUU that i downloaded from HTC before I returned my phone. much to my surprise they didn't even take the phone out of the box! still, since it only takes 10 minutes might as well do it.

whats the point in running all 3 on a phone you are returning? just running the first one is good enough to unroot and restore to stock. i only ran the most recent one, because i had already upgraded the baseband and was unable to run the earlier ones because of it.

I was surprised too when I tried first.
The 1.47 RUU just sat on the "waiting for bootloader" screen and timed out after ~90 seconds, "unable to find phone" (tried multiple times) and the screen would get stuck in white bootloader/RUU message (battery pull required) - so i am guessing 0.76.2 bootloader was too low for it. That was flashing from 3.2.2+ DamageControl ROM, didn't try from any other one, since the DC -> 1.36 -> 1.47 stock worked well.
And yes, the PRI caveat is there, but as joeykrim said, that's minor, plus you can always say "PRI what - huh?", right?

Running latest OTA makes you seem more of a "dumb user" who wouldn't even know what root is?

No. RUUs are handled differently. You download the file. And run it on your computer with the phone plugged in. It does everything for you. You DO NOT flash these via recovery.
Update on my phone
I took it to the sprint store yesterday and against everything I have heard the guy at the store turned my phone and checked it. Thank god I used redsolar's posted method. I must have the appearance of someone who would root there phone. It passed his inspection, luckily.
Thanks for the help
I rooted with the new Simpleroot OTA Edition, with Fresh Rom 053, and RA-Rec.
I'm trying to start over from stock so I can re-root my phone, but I can't get the RUU's to work. The oldest one will actually try and put the phone in bootloader, but while its waiting for bootloader it eventually just stops and gives me the 170 error, usb connector problem.
So is there any other way to go about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ya what I do is replug the usb coord then try ruu again while the phone is stuck on the HTC sign,then if that doesn't work I just manually go into bootloader myself (power+volume down) then use the ruu.exe, works everytime but then it tells me my current version is not valid, so if you ota'd you probably won't ever be able to go back to 1.32.651.1/.6 stock but you can just use the new 1.47.651.1 ruu to regain stock after ota.

Thanks a **** load Tundricles, you saved my ass.
I was getting so pissed, I'd run the RUU and once it got to opening the bootloader on my phone it was get frozen on the HTC screen, and the RUU would get the use connection error. So I unplugged my phone, and noticed it was in the bootloader, but if the usb was plugged in, it wouldn't show the bootloader screen for some reason. So I just plugged it back in and started the RUU back up, it instantly went past the "Waiting for bootloader..." message and started updating.
Thank you, and for anyone else having similar problems, READ THIS!
Flashing the RUU doesn't restore the stock recovery does it?
I ran Unrevoked 2 a while back and I have RUU'd but I'm pretty sure Clockwork Mod is still there.

I had a problem a couple of weeks ago on a my pc when i was using unrevoked to flash permenant clockwork recovery. Cant remember where i got it from, might of been the unrevoked thread. I think all drivers are either linked or in the rooting sticky at the top of dvelopment thread that this is in.

[Q] EVO 4g Unroot - I have read everything on here about it and am still stumped!

I rooted my EVO last night and with my luck, the earpiece speaker blew today. I have to take it in for an exchange.
Here is my current situation:
I ran unrevoked-forever-son.zip so my phone is SON right now.
My current radio version is 2.15.00.09.01
My current image version is 3.29.651.5
I have hardware version 3
Android 2.2
Everything is completely functional other than the earpiece speaker.
Here is what I did:
Last night:
I used Unrevoked 3.21 to root it. It rooted fine. I installed WiFi Tether and tested it and it worked great. That is the only app I have installed since the root.
Today:
Speaker crapped out on me during the day.
I came home from work and followed the instructions here: www(dot)thedroiddemos(dot)com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13&p=115#p115
The SON program ran fine. But when I tried to load the PC36IMG.zip file from the SD card, it responded with a "main is older" error and would not install it.
So then, I went here: forum(dot)xda-developers(dot)com/showthread.php?t=721843. It told me to go to shipped-roms.com to get files that would automatically unroot my phone.
I tried the earliest one and it got all the way to the end and gave me error 140: Bootloader version error. I got the same thing with the second and third oldest.
Both of the most recent files for the the "Waiting for bootloader" error and froze, giving me the dreaded 170 USB error.
I also tried letting it get to the HTC screen and then restarting the RUU program as directed in the XDA post mentioned above. It always led to the 170 error.
I am wits end. I have a 7 day old phone that I can't use until I somehow unroot it and exchange it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Are you returning it to Sprint or directly to HTC? Chances are, if you just put a stock ROM on it & just use adb or Root Explorer to remove SuperUser.apk they're not even going to realize it's rooted.
Also, this really goes in Q&A, not Development.
Welcome to the forums!
I am returning it to Sprint. Sorry about putting this in the wrong place. I will move it over to Q&A immediately. I was trying to put a stock ROM on it with the above procedures. I just wasn't able to do it.
Thanks for the advice.
Go to this thread and run the RUU. You are unrooted and completely reset. Just make sure you use the S-ON tool from unrevoked.

Do you have HTC Sync installed? It looks like that error was coming up for users that didn't have the latest version / wasn't installed.
No, I uninstalled it to do the root. I am installing it again now. Thank you.
If you really want someone to cover everything good. I've got all night so just let me know. If not, good luck.

Well, I reinstalled HTC Sync and the ROM flashed just fine. This ROM reflashed everything. There is no evidence of root whatsover! I did have to set the entire phone back up, but that was well worth it! Thanks to Veritas06 and Cosine for helping me out.

[Q] Desire 2.2

I bought an unbranded/unlocked Desire a few days ago, and it had Froyo preinstalled.
It REFUSES to connect to HTC Sync, and it seems impossible to root using unrevoked too (i've tried Vista, Win7 and Ubuntu). All without success. I have tried EVERY method/guide/tutorial out there.
So my question is this. HOW DO I ROOT?!
I'm thinking of using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
And then using unrevoked on the stock 2.1, but in that thread it says
Update:
The new version of unrevoked3 (3.21) can now root froyo ROMs directly, and a downgrade is no longer necessary if you just want to root and install custom recovery, although there appear to be a few issues with this new release. If you want to rebrand/debrand your phone, rooting won't achieve this and you can use this method instead. If you cannot get the new version of unrevoked3 to work you can also run this and use the older version (3.14) that works with Android 2.1.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i have no garauntee that unrevoked will work on 2.1 either, and i'm not downgrading for no reason.
Does anyone have any ideas, cause i'm running out of ideas here.

Does it have a new H-boot that unrevoked cant do yet? What is the H-boot on the phone?
Does unrevoked come up with any errors? Have you instaleed the correct drivers, adb for it?
What is your hboot #?
Power off, press down volume and power on should tell you at the top.
Then check the sticky topics, at the top of dev section, as they have solved newest hboot problems.
Ps this is best for the q&a section, good luck, and sure we'll all try and help.
Desire is the source of all suffering.
HBOOT number is 0.93, take it this is too new?
The non-connection to HTC Sync worries me, if it wont connect to the manufacturers software, what is there to make me think it will work with anything else?
Don't quote me on this but unrevocked should work on 0.93,
Best is to get suck into this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709146&highlight=unrevocked
And see how you do.
Goes through the whole deal with drivers etc.
Do you have ADB yet? because you can use adb devices to check to see if your desire is connecting to your computer, but as cjm1979 said you need to get latest drivers from the adb, but seem to remember you have to uninstall htcsync anyway to use unrevocked. But it should all be there in that guide.
But getting adb and drivers is important.
> Uninstall HTC sync 3.x version from your windows box and install 2.x version and then try it ( Important: Disable any firewall/antivirus tools when doing it)
The latest version of unrevoked should work.
Just found this in the unrevocked topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725738&highlight=solved&page=36
My HBOOT version is 0.93.0001
Follow the instruction to unrevoked,f after installed the HBOOT driver and enable USB debug, run unrevoked as administrator and connection "charging only",
the unrevoked still not start as follow, any idea?
Solved: I never install HTC sync.
Read all post found similar situation and I install and uninstall HTC sync. Problem resolved.
Never used htcsync for myself anyway.
Ok guys, i found the problem.
This is embarassing, But i forgot to uninstall DroidExplorer which unknown to me, was cocking it all up silently. Uninstalled that, ran unrevoked and it looks to be working, i'm currently on the ClockworkMod recovery screen. Yeah, all working now, and i should be rooted now.
Am i correct in saying that since the phone was unlocked/unbranded, i can now just whack an update.zip on my SD and flash it? Or is there anything else to be done before that (I know enough to do a Nandroid backup before that step)?
Thank you all for helping an idiot solve his non-problem!
I've uninstalled Sync, moved the drivers to system32, ran unrevoked as admin, ran it in compatibility mode, nothing. All required drivers/softwares/fairy dust is present. I really have tried nearly everything listed on tutorials. I've damn near broken googles servers just searching for a fix!
You don't copy any drivers, HTC sync installs in 2 parts - the program and the drivers.
Once installed, go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the program but leave the drivers. This works fine
Then make sure unrEVOked is running BEFORE you connect your phone, and make sure USB Debugging is enabled on the phone
One of the tuts i read said movng the drivers to system32 might help, but did it hell. I'm all rooted now, just installed TitaniumBackup, is it meant to ask for permissions 2000 times every time i do something? It just asked me about 20 times O.O

Once, when you've ticked the box,
Unless your talking about superuser notifications which you can turn of in the superuser app
Desire is the source of all suffering.
You mean the 'remember' box? Yeah, done that too but it keeps popping up asking for permissions anyway.

Yes meant the remember box, is the box always the SU box or is it a grey notification box saying SU access has been granted.

and honestly just keep trying. I tried for maybe 50 times before it worked. Switched USB port every time until it worked.

Okay I'll try that
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app
so i reinstalled all drivers and out of the 3 times i tried i got to the second bottle and i switched usb ports each time so at least im getting somewhere haha
[SOLVED]
Here are my thoughts after got it S-off on the second night.
I was having problems with adb disconnecting my device or was it my computer, not sure.
I got to "adb shell", then go into phone and tap the Weaksauce app and tap on "agree", then open SU app and changed the setting to "grant".
The dialog window in SU will still pops up and you hit allow for Superuser. I think this is the reason why it never chugged before here
You have to input the "su" command in the adb window
After "grant" it is able to S-Off, you know it when the promtp windows says " Your device is now S-Off..."
ps. For some reasons Weaksauce is not stable on my phone it does take way too long to root the device and sometimes not even does it.
This may sounds broken to some ppl lol, but this is my first post and first root.
So Cheeers
Congrats. Weaksauce is just a temp root, now that your s-off, you can remove weaksauce, flash a recovery, and then flash superuser thru recovery for full permanent root.
ok
nope still not working.. im thinking that it has to be a problem with disconnecting and then it loses the root cause whenever i restart the phone i have to enable root with weaksauce again.

It should automatically give you root access after you installed weaksauce and SuperSU. It takes maybe 30-60 seconds after it completely boots up.
Okay good to know. it's still not finishing the first bottle though

I have been at this for over a week. I've gotten as far as the 8th bottle but still haven't been able to get S-OFF.
When I first started trying firewater was version 5, now it's up to version 8.
At this point I try it once a day every night(making sure to download the latest firewater each time). I just imagine that sometime it will work.
You can try to talk to beaups in the #firewater IRC channel. He tried helping me before saying "okay Ill try to fix it in the next few days." That was over a week ago but considering he's only getting donations for this I don't hold it against him for it not working instantly for me. Head to the IRC and see if he can help out. Otherwise, I'd say keep trying.
