S-Off or bootloader unlock? If bootloader unlock, did you flash the boot.img from fastboot?

...you didn't answer my question. S-Off or bootloader unlock?
And ADB and fastboot are different things. Fastboot in bootloader. ADB during and after boot.

If adb is working you can unlock the bootloader and try to flash the rom. Also you can look at this giude

If you are S-ON, you need to flash the ROM's boot.img in fastboot each time you flash a ROM.

From fastboot, not ADB. Detailed instructions are in post #7 of the Ace Think Tank thread in my signature.

Did you unlock the bootloader?? If not flashing the boot.img won't work either. you need to try unlocking the bootloader from fastboot first, then when you have working phone you decide what to do.
hi i have the htc one x international. I really really need help. My htc one x was on viper x then i wanted to flash to cm10.1 but i failed. I then realized that i have to update my HBOOT. And so i did. And now it has been relocked. When I tried to boot my phone, my sd card is not available, my phone can't have signal, almost everything is impossible to do. I also cannot go into CWM recovery.
What i can do now is only go to my boot loader by pressing volume down and power button. What should i do?
If you want to be able to get into recovery again try to type in the shell
Fastboot erase cache

I did fastboot erase cache through cmd, and when i tried to go to recovery, it showed me a flatphone, a triangle with an exclamation mark
You just need to unlock it again mate thats why it says "relocked" and you cant do nothing with your custom rom / recovery

Type:
Code:

It should pop up on your screen when you flash info about voiding you're warranty
You then press volume up to highlight yes then press power button to confirm

Is it ok to flash a ROM after i have unlocked my bootloader and rooted or do I absolutely have to have S-Off first? I have looked around and searched and googled first and found no answer to this question. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can flash a rom without being s-off but you need to manually flash the boot.img file.

Has anybody tried fastbooting the recovery img into the phone's memory?
Like this:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivow.img

All that will do is boot you into recovery .
If you use fastboot , the command would be like
"Fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery.img>"

I had read somewhere that if you boot into recovery in the phone's memory instead of from the partition, the recovery will be able to write to the boot partition - so no need to flash the boot.img separately.
I haven't tested this myself, though.
Hi all, I'm sorry to ask this question again, but after a lot of checking I can't figure this out.
I have Android 2.3.5 (3.12.405.x), the phone is S-Off with bootloader 2.00.0029, and locked. I need to unlock it so I can flash a recovery and then root the thing to use Titanium backup to restore data to another phone.
The HTCdev method wipes all the data, right?

If you are s-off you can just flash a custom recovery directly. No need to unlock the bootloader.

You got those error because remote flash only allowed on unlocked and engineering bootloader.
You need to use hboot patch to install custom recovery by putting that zip files in the root of your sdcard. Reboot to bootloader and it will ask for a prompt to update. I am not sure whether this method still applicable to new bootloader (2.00.0029).

Hmmm. It's hard to find the right information for newer hboot.
I'm creating a pd98.zip now with a custom recovery. I'll update on how it goes.

I don't normally post question. Figuring out how to do things is half the fun. But I've searched everywhere and I've not been able to find a root method for the M8 GPe. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's the GPe. To unlock the bootloader I just used fastboot oem unlock. I just need root. Philz Touch Recovery is only for the m8, m8spr, and m8vzw. I guess what I need is both a way to root the device and a custom recovery to install.
Can I push root through adb like the Nexus 5? And is there a recovery for the m8gpe?

It's all the same, you can use the normal M8 recovery.

Thanks.
You can flash su.zip through recovery or let recovery do it automatically, I think CWM and Philz touch detect and offer to root your stock rom. I know TWRP does.
