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.
help please i dont have much exprence with htc one x cmd commands im use to htc desire just using clock work mod recovery and flashing from there are there any other roms for htc one x endever that i can flash on cwm without the use of a pc the only one i have found is Team Venom viperX 2.7.1 - Sense 4.1 | orig. OTA i have tried googling this but im not sure how to word it
It would be really good if you use commas.
What do you actually mean? HTC Desire has practically the same ROM flashing procedure, despite S-ON inconvenience.
...
Lol, I got it.
You see, HTC has put some kind of nasty NAND protection in every single phone after 2011, which prohibits reflashing of /boot partition of memory. In simple words, you can't flash a very small, but very important part of the ROM via recovery (clockworkmod, in your case). However, it is still possible to flash this little part of the ROM via fastboot.
In nearly every HOX ROM thread on XDA you can find a link to a software package, intended to be flashed via recovery and a small file (boot.img), which you need flash by yourself.
To do this, you need Android platform-tools (Android ADB/Bootloader composite USB driver & fastboot.exe)
Download them, install USB drivers, load your One X into fastboot mode (turn it off, turn it on holding volume down, choose fastboot using power key).
Put your boot.img in the same folder with fastboot.exe, navigate there with cmd.exe, enter the following commands:
Code:
fastboot-windows.exe flash boot boot.img
fastboot-windows.exe erase cache
It is a required procedure and there's no way around it. In some cases it is possible to leave stock boot.img (if ROM uses a default ramdisk and kernel), but you should clear it out in ROM thread.
The other option is to make your phone S-OFF and flash boot.img via recovery, but there's no easy way to do it yet. Maybe XTC Clip could help, but I'm not sure.

There are no ROMs that you can install without using fastboot, since recovery can't write to the boot partition. You're currently using viperX with the stock boot.img that was on the phone when you started - this will probably work fine (since viperX uses a near-stock boot.img anyway) but you're missing whatever ramdisk tweaks should be included in the ROM.
If you want to use any ROM as it was intended to be used you need to use a computer to write the boot.img with fastboot - there's no way around this.
If you have trouble with commands you can use a toolkit to do it for you.

I know this may have been answered several times. I did a search too, but to be honest couldn't find something to the point.
Can someone post an easy guide of the files to download and the commands to type in the Command Prompt to install 4.3?
I'm currently on 4.2.2 (LiquidSmooth). Rooted obviously with TWRP recovery. I have the ADB and fastboot drivers installed in my PC.
This is what I want to know.
1. Flashing pure stock 4.3 and wipe everything (including SDcard - I will take a backup)
2. Updating the bootloader
3. Updating the radio
4. Updating the stock recovery
5. Installing TWRP recovery for 4.3
Will be glad if someone could help me.
Thank you.

Hi, let me try to help you
Galaxy Nexus is my first smartphone. So i'm pretty new at flashing things. I did some research last year to learn how to flash stuff in it and that's how i learned to make a fresh install:
-Make sure you have the SDK platform-tools and the Galaxy Nexus driver properly installed on your PC. Also, make sure you have USB debuging enabled on your device.
-Download the factory image that fits your phone at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
-Open up the tgz file you just downloaded and extract the files:
-boot.img
-bootloader-maguro-primemd04.img
-radio-maguro-i9250xxlj1.img
-recovery.img
-system.img
-userdata.img
Extract the files in the platform-tools folder to make things easier.
-Connect your Nexus to your PC, open the command prompt, go to the platform-tools folder and type
(Do not turn off, disconnect or close the cmd prompt windows until everything is done. Again, make sure you have the nexus driver properly installed on your Windows)
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
(this command will reboot your device to recovery mode)
With your device on recovery mode, type the following commands to erase your device:
Code:
fastboot erase boot
Hit enter, then:
fastboot erase cache
Hit enter, then:
fastboot erase recovery
Hit enter, then:
fastboot erase system
Hit enter, then:
fastboot erase userdata
-Now you're going to flash the new files you have downloaded and extracted steps before:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primemd04.img
(or whatever name your bootloader img file has. In this case the bootloader file is "bootloader-maguro-primemd04.img")
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
(you'll need to reboot after flashing the bootloader)
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxlj1.img
Flash the radio
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Reboot again
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Flash system
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
We are almost done!
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot
Done! Reboot to Android. The first boot may take some more time than the usual. Don't worry!
-
If you want to flash a custom recovery, download it from their website, go into fastboot mode and flash it using the command to flash the recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [recovery filename].img
The same command used when flashing the recovery on the fresh install above
That's the way i learned how to do it from scratch. In case someone more experienced has any thoughts about it, i'd like to hear as i'm not an expert and learned by researching it on my own...
This is how it's done, PROPER. Well done, mnoguti.

@mnoguti: You have said that to flash a custom recovery, one needs to go to the recovery mode and flash the custom recovery, but you said that flashing the stock recovery should be done in bootloader.
Is it fine to flash custom recovery from bootloader instead of recovery?

you don't have to go into the recovery mode to flash recovery, just boot into fastboot mode and flash recovery using command:

obviously replace the recovery.img with the name of the custom recovery file you downloaded, make sure the custom recovery file is in the same folder as fastboot/adb otherwise you'll have to do it like:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Downloads\recovery.img

Yes, that's what I thought. Thank you.
I had initially felt that stock recovery can flashed only in bootloader and custom recoveries can be flashed only by booting into stock recovery. But somewhere in my mind had a doubt on it and so asked. Thanks for clearing the doubt.

It's "fastboot mode". Sorry for the mistake!
I've updated my post and now it's right
I have a rooted HTC one M9. I saw the HTCU tag so the device bootloader is also unlocked. Android version is 5.0.2
I compiled a custom kernel and updated it using abootimage.
I then tried:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot boot.img
adb wait-for-device shell
I could use also
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
but i want for the begining the boot.img to be lost on reboot.
The device is waiting in fastboot Menu with following options:
Reboot
Reboot to bootloader
Boot to download mode
Boot to recovery mode
Power down
When i give command:
Code:
fastboot devices
I get no device (empty list).
How can i update the kernel?
Is there a problem with fastboot?
The title of the thread is a bit misleading since you are asking a question and not explaining what needs to be done to flash a kernel.
The M9 has no Fastboot Mode like the ones you may know from older HTC devices. You need to boot to Download Mode if you want to use fastboot commands. Besides I think I read somewhere here on xda that fastboot boot commands do not work with the M9 due to new security features. But I can't find that specific post right now so my memories might be wrong...
I had trouble finding this information, and since we have no working TWRP yet, here is a way to get low-level access to al lot of files.
Full credits go to: @s3axel, Source
So you flashed a module that is now causing a bootloop?
Follow these steps:
0. check if you can boot using stock boot.img, if that does not work, then you have a bigger problem then I had and this guide may not work for you.
1. Get the stock recovery.img by extracting it from the same OTA file as your current build, using payload_dumper
2. Follow s3axel's guide to get adb to work in recovery mode (after you unlock the drive)
s3axel said:
It's actually pretty easy and this would most probably also work for the 7T...
Prerequisites:
Android Image Kitchen (credit to osm0sis for providing this tool)
the original recovery image file (henceforth called "recovery.img"). You can extract this yourself from an update zip file by unpacking "payload.bin" and then use a tool like payload_dumper (credit to vm03 for providing this) to extract the recovery.img file
Now do the following:
unpack image with Image Kitchen --> this will create a "ramdisk" and a "Split_img" directory with the unpacked content within
navigate into the "ramdisk" folder and use a text editor (on windows preferably Notepad++) to edit the file "prop.default"
look for entry "ro.adb.secure" and change entry value from "1" to "0". Note this entry can occur multiple times (I noticed twice), change each --> this will prevent adb from asking for authorization (the recovery does not provide such a dialogue)
look for entry "ro.debuggable" and change this from "0" to "1" --> this actually enables adb
look for entry "ro.secure" and change this from "1" to "0" --> may be unnecessary but I wanted to avoid brick in case a modified recovery would result in such a behaviour
save textfile
repack the image with Android Image Kitchen and voila:
you have a new modified recovery image you can flash
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. rename the image_new.img to unsecure_adb_recovery.img
4. flash usecure recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery unsecure_adb_recovery.img
5. get into the adb shell
Code:
adb shell
then find the magisk module folder
Code:
cd /data/adb/modules
6. remove the module
Code:
rm -rf name_of_module
7. exit shell
8. reboot back to fastboot (See notes below)
9. flash stock recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
10. boot patched boot image to try if magisk worked
Code:
fastboot boot patched_magisk.img
Hopefully, if it boots again with root and Magisk
This worked very well and was very easy to do.
11. Use Magisk apk to install magisk to boot img. Or flash your patched magisk.
Notes:
DO NOT try adb reboot fastboot, I was hoping this would work (I was tired, ok...)
I got stuck in a bootloop (it kept asking me to unlock my device)
to break out of this loop, I used the forced off method: hold power + volume up & down until screen blacks out
From power off to bootloader:
press & hold volume down and power
and hold down until you get back to recovery, reboot to fastboot then flash stock recovery back to secure your ADB and return to as much stock as possible :good:
Here is my patched prop.default
Question: if a patched recovery.img with adb is created for 9.0.4/9.0.5 could anyone use it?
Also, instead of fastboot flash recovery unsecure_recovery.img couldn't you just run fastboot boot recovery unsecure_recovery.img? I was able to boot and not flash the test TWRP build. That way you wouldn't have to reflash everything. It is this per device due to encryption?
Thanks for any info. Good find!
Y not create a core only boot image from magisk andThat share here so it would b really helful to all....

The Recovery.img is from stock, so not a per-device thing.
I was just too lazy to find a place to upload large files.
I am currently on 10.0.4 but with 10.0.5 showing up, it would need updating later on.
I am not sure if you can flashboot boot recovery, certainly worth a try? Not sure how all this works, so I just flashed recovery and then flashed stock after I was done.
I also tested the TWRP build by not flashing it but booting it directly, but that was not very productive given it's current state.

I was actually looking for this, but the how-to-build magisk guide has a lot more to do.
When I saw this guide I was like, oh I already have all the tools required Noice!
If only I didn't have tons of crap at work. This may be the gateway to v4a.
I have the images but not the extractor. Hmmmmm.

Nope sorry, not at this time.
There is a pull request on the magisk github that allows us to build Core-Only, so I will be waiting for that.
This guide contains the information that solved my immediate issue with not being in possesion of core-only.
Without having to deal with a lot of unknowns, just download some tools, extract some files, edit a few lines then patch it back up.
Bah. I've had no luck getting payload_dumper.py to work. failing on extracting logo, of all things.
Using windows 10 pro... python is installed, all requirements met... just cannot extract the .bin. Android Image Kitchen isn't for OTA bins either.. that wasn't helpful, unfortunately. Grr. I'm sure its either a stupid Windows thing or a stupid python thing... I installed 3.8 vs 3.6. Dunno. I prefer Perl
I'm not giving up though. I'll probably install Linux for Windows and run through that. Dunno.

Bah. I've had no luck getting payload_dumper.py to work. failing on extracting logo, of all things.
Using windows 10 pro... python is installed, all requirements met... just cannot extract the .bin. Android Image Kitchen isn't for OTA bins either.. that wasn't helpful, unfortunately. Grr.

I got updated to 1.0.0.6.. I went from the '0' version to 'I'. Shrug.
fastboot boot recovery.img nor fastboot boot recovery recovery.img works... sigh.
I do have the full OTA. OnePlus7TOxygen_14.I.08_OTA_008_all_1911061912_10a180d3.zip. Dunno if anyone needs it.
I am on Linux. I used mktool to unpack and repack. I set all the flags properly between entered fastboot and Flash the new image to recovery as specified. device immediately hangs. I hold the keys to enter fastboot mode again and of course I can't run shell as ADB is not available in fastboot.

Hi, I'm stuck, I can't apply this tutorial to get a unsecure recovery. I'm on 10.0.6 international and when I try to boot to the file you provide, phone is stuck on "Fastboot Mode" screen. Is it from Indian variant? Could someone share the modified file from International 10.0.6 variant by any chance?
Or is it safe to flash this one? I don't want to try as I doesn't work with "fastboot boot unsecure_adb_recovery10.0.6.img".
I feel so dumb as I could flash back stock fastboot.img and my phone boots normally but then I don't have root access so can't delete the faulty module. If I boot a magisk patched boot.img then the phone doesn't boot, as the module is still there and activated....
Thanks

You have to flash the recovery in order to boot into it.
If the recovery doesn't work you can just flash the stock one and you should be fine.

Well, that worked! Thanks for your help
I've never really used adb until now so I was a bit lost as the shell window doesn't send any command confirmation when we enter the folder then delete the files, I felt a bit blind. But it worked.
Is there a place I can find the stock recovery from 10.0.6 international to avoid downloading the full rom? I should be able to extract the recovery.img from fastboot full ROM should I?

I have not fiddled around with fastboot ROMs. But you should be able to download your OOS rom with Oxygen Updater.
If someone else haven't uploaded the stock recovery, you'll need to use a tool like this to extract the payload bin inside the zip. The recovery is named recovery.img
