Hi Fellow xda.
I have flashed the official Gingerbread ota update ruu to my desire.
After that i realized that i couldnt root or go back to Oxygen rom, now that the hboot version is 1.02
Before i had hboot version 0.93 i think.
I have tried the downgrade to 2.1
and root again with unrevoked.
None of these 2 methods work.
Is there any other way to go back to rooted and custom recovery to oxygen rom or hboot 0.93?.
With oxygen and launcherpro my desire feels faster than stock sense
Anyone else have this problem?
There is currently no method of downgrading the hboot or rooting the official GB RUU.
I guess all you can do is wait until somebody figures a way to root and install custom recovery

Ops good job I never installed this. I read others having this problem also.
Same situation, precipitaded mself, now can't root and all my backups are Titanium backups, have nandroid backups but can't use them....
damn...
isn't it possible to downgrade hboot?
I am also facing this problem. Is there any solution available now?

HTC Desire: Android 2.3.3 official Gingerbread rom.
No solution - check Alpharev/Unrevoked updates - if there will be a solution, it will probably be in the developement section.
Someone said that they used a Froyo RUU to downgrade then they just rooted. But it didn't work for other people but I think its with a shot. Otherwise you'll have to wait.
Swyped...
Hmmmm...I did not know about this...
I did not flash the RUU directly but tried to flash the rooted or modified ones from this forum...and decided to keep InsertCoin 1.0.9
How did the devs root it then? Perhaps, try asking Baadnewz and/or NeoPhyTe for help, since they have released the rooted official update.
I don't think they rooted it as such, but more of "ported" it. I don't know a thing about rom development but go and ask him.

The difference is that when u run the ruu, it will overwrite ur hboot, ur recovery, ur rom, ecc, everything...So u lost root, because the ruu restore everything as stock.
In particular after run the ruu, the new hboot installed doesn't allow to root again and doesn't allow to change hboot at the moment.
Instead, when u flash the rooted rom based on official gb (u already have root and u don't lost it, simply), the zip contain only the rom part and with inside the super user apk (that allow root permission), so flashing it u will continue to have ur recovery, ur hboot, ur root permissions.
Instead when running the ruu, so u lost root, there is no way to install again a custom recovery and there is no way to push the super user apk into the rom (unrevoked / alpharev doesn't work)..At the moment.
From devs side, create a rooted rom is easy, as they extract from the ruu only the rom and make it rooted pushing in the zip that they are going to create the super user apk and some other tweaks to the kernel as well...All this can be done with the dsixda kitchen
I hope everything is clear now

That you did. There are plenty of threads with that information available.
is there a way to root now?
we should wait?
Okay well then i guess im stuck like others :S
i was just thinking if there was a way to get superuser rights by using the terminal or adb.
i did also try the old root method for the desire that came before unrevoked. That didnt work.
Thank goodness...I was tempted to flash the original RUU...but my stomach told me not to do it...I would have been in the same situation if had flashed it too...
I hope there will be an easy solution in the near future for you guys
@andQlimax: Thanks for the information so...so, I hit the thanks button

That's prob as close as you'll get to the update without flashing the RUU.

Have the same problem as others here. Tried both apk and adb with GingerBreak. No luck
...but I'm trying to play around a bit and got a noob idea to use ARUWizard to flash custom rom. I've extracted RUU 2.29 and RUU 2.3.3 and replaced 2.3.3 rom.zip with the one from 2.29. It didn't work of course as newer version has been discovered but I was wondering if it's possible just to root the standard rom.zip and put it back. Is there any chance that it works?
Have anyone rooted htc desire with Gingerbread RUU update ?

Hey guys,
i'm trying to get my HTC S-Off.
after reading a bit online, i found the following guide:
http://www.android.gs/gain-s-off-on-htc-one-m8/
but according to some reading and user asking, i understand that the "free" methods no longer work, except on some versions of the device?
Is the only way to make my device S-OFF is using the paid ways (like sunshine ones, that cost 25$)
Here are the details for my phone:
* Not locked to any network, bought as "sim free" (not verizon \ at&t etc..)
* Hardware version: 0005 ( if that matters )
* HTC Theme Version - 6.0
* ROM: Android Revolution HD 10.2, version: 2.22.401.4
* Android Version: 4.4.3
* HTC DSK API Level: 6.25
* Baseband: 1.16.2133156.UA15G_20.18m.4096.07L
* Kernel: 3.4.0-ge224610, [email protected] #1, SMP PREEMPT
This is all the information that i think is relevant, as shows in my device's ABOUT.
Also, the phone is rooted, and have custom recovery (TWRP)
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

If firewater won't work .. yes SunShine and thus paying 25$ is the only method. But SunShine is not going to work on ARHD. You will need to perform a stock restore before trying it.

Thank you for the quick reply.
If you could help with the following i'll be thankful:
1. I'm not familiar with all of the terms you mentioned.
Firewater - is the method for S-OFF described in the guide i posted?
ARHD - What's that? my HTC is ARHD, for that matter?
2. Assuming i have full NAND backup made with the recovery,
if i try the method described in the guide i posted will fail , could my HTC get bricked?
and if so - will the NAND backup will be enough to restore it to working condition OR undo the changes (if neccessary in case of failure, even without bricking the phone)
3. If i'll have to go back to STOCK, 1st of all - i'll need to completely un-root my device and restore the original bootloader?
2nd - if i'll go back top STOCK, use sunshine method to s-off my device, and then restore my custom rom and settings
using the NAND backup - is it OK? or it will cause trouble?
Thanks again!

yea firewater is the method by the same devs of the sunshine apk but it doesnt work for all devices and all variants.
ARHD is Android Revolution HD ..he meant the Rom..you Need to use either MaximusHD Rom or complete stock Rom/stock backup otherwise it wouldnt even work if it will be possible for your device
also your bootloader is completely stock..you just Need stock recovery and stock kernel...ok recovery is not that important but kernel and Rom really Need to be stock or atleast maximusHD Rom.
and no restoring wont cause Troubles...but for working backup use philz recovery ! twrp often doesnt work for now...i mean the backup and restore.

You can have a try, but performing S-Off most of the time works best on near stock ROMs as all the methods firewater as well as SunShine are designed to work on a stock ROM and not on the customized ROMs.
Anyway e.g. SunShine and MaximusHD work as far as I know. So give it a try and if not just revert to stock to try again.

firewater DOES NOT work with arhd or any other Rom...firewater really Needs stock Rom and kernel as there will be things loading which are often disabled in custom roms etc
i'm happy to report that after consulting with sunshine dev team
and trying using sunshine method on ARHD, it did work and i'm S-OFF.
Thank you all for your answers and help!!

Good if you still have any questions ask me but via pm
I donloaded Sunshines and ran it on my phone. I thought after I did that (it said successful then rebooted) I would be ready to go.
Nope.
Attempted to install and run SuperSU but it says it cannot install binaries, it can't fix it, and that I need to re-root.
try rootcheckers, all still say nothing.
Can someone help me out here?

Sunshine is pretty much bulletproof now.
You could remove SuperSU, then do a factory reset of the phone.
Then enable Developer Options, download the newest version of Sunshine,
log into your wifi connection, and run it again. It will root the phone early in the process without
your installing SuperSU. Good luck!

It is my understanding that sunshine unlocks your boot loader and gives you s-off, not root.
once you are boot loader unlocked and s-off you can use twrp to install an already rooted rom.

So the only way to root a Verizon HTC m7 on 4.4.3 is to wipe it and install a custom Rom (after unlocking the bootloader and achieving with sunshine)?
hey....
I don't know if it means anything or not, but after every install of sunshine, the app disappears from the app drawer after rebooting (caused by sunshine).
So I'm just asking....

What I did was use sunshine to s off and unlock boot loader , reboot... After reboot, use towelroot v3 to temp root. (NOTE : towel root won't work if u just click the root button right off the bat. On our phones, u have to tap the intro msg 3 times and a string of numbers will appear. I change the last number which is 0 to a 1 , THEN u click the root button and Presto! ,ur temp rooted) THEN PROCEED to download flashify from play store, and use it to flash twrp, and then from there u can flash supersu... Works like a charm

I used sunshine and then used towelroot to root. I had to install towelroot via adb. You could give that a try. Installing a custom rom will work 100%.
i used sunshine V2 a few months back and if i remeber right it reboots once and then you pay and it unlocks. Once it finished its thing i did not use towelroot or anything. I simply fasboot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7wlv with adb and once the phone restarted I had root. It even installed supersu on its own as i never installed it but it ended up on my phone

I am confused.
1: you ran sunshine
2: you paid the 25.00 and it unlocked your boot loader and gave you s-off
3: you fasboot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7wlv with adb
Number 3 is where I am confused. Once sunshine was done, you flashed twrp and your phone rebooted with root and supersu installed???
I recently ran sunshine on a phone running the latest ota from verizon. It unlocked the bootloader and gave me s-off. It did not root my phone. I used towelroot to gain root without having to flash any recovery software.
Forgive me, but I am trying to understand how after sunshine, flashing twrp gave you root and installed supersu? Did you install a custom rom? Once you you run sunshine successfully, you can flash twrp and install a rooted rom.
The OP was about rooting after sunshine without having to wipe out his current setup and gain root. If I am wrong about this, please call me out. I am going on my recent experience.

Correct, Also when I flashed twrp I do not remember losing any of my current settings on phone. It only gave me the recovery and root w/ supersu like I said. If you would like I will upload the version of twrp I referred to in my post. I would give a link to where I got it but I really do not remember. When I initially unlocked and installed twrp I did not install a custom rom for a few days. I then installed CM11, then AOKP, then a few others and always went back to AOKP untill I tried santod040's nusensesix rom. Recently flashed his newest nusensesix and loving everything about it. I anyone could get the sense camera to work with AOKP then that would be my perfect rom.
This is the guide that I followed back when I unlocked my phone minus the htc dev portion that would just be replaced with running sunshine.

Once your unlocked and s off all you have to do is fastboot flash a custom recovery and then flash supersu in recovery. Flashing a custom Rom should work to.

Ok. Hopefully jmurra21 has gained root.
Before I begin, I'm sorry for posting yet another thread like this, but I've looked all over and can't find a solution.
So today I unlocked my boot-loader and rooted my M8. I then added TWRP and flashed Android Revolution HD 32.3, which runs 5.01 lollipop.
When using SU I found I needed to update the binary, I tried pressing normal and it was not successful, even after several reboots. I also tried the TWRP/CWM method, it just froze the app and didn't even boot into recovery.
I'm not sure what to do. Root seems to be working, I only noticed this when trying to gain S-off with Sunshine.
Please help
Many Thanks
Root works....no need to update than i guess, or get the latest .zip and flash it in the custom recovery manually

While I don't doubt that's the case, I've tried the sunshine tests before I decided to buy it.
Hello Guys,
Today I decided to install CyanogenMod 13 on my HTC One M8. Here is what I did:
- Unlocked the bootloader;
- Flashed TWRP Recovery;
- In recovery, I wiped everything I could;
- Installed CM13 and Gapps.
Now, the phone works good, but in case I want to go back to stock, what should I do? I still have S-ON.
Thanks for the help!
(also, info about where to download the stock ROM is welcome)
You should have made a nandroid backup right after flashing TWRP.
Oh and there are 2 threads with backups. 1 here in the Q&A and 1 in the general. Can't be missed !

So, I didn't do the backup. But my question is: is it possible to install stock ROM now?
Everyone says I have to use S-OFF to be able to install Stock again. Why is that?

Because they are incorrect.
You can go back to stock by flashing a stock TWRP backup and stock recovery, but you can't set the flag to "locked" from "unlocked" without S-Off. You can only set it to "relocked".
But you can go back to the stock ROM and recovery easily.

I don't need to make exactly like before. All I need to know is if there is a way back to stock, and custom ROMs after that.
I'm not sure if this is correct, but some people said I can't install custom ROMs with S-ON and I can't make it S-OFF without stock ROM because SunShine requires it. That's it. Thanks for help!

You don't need S-Off to install custom ROMs. You do need it to convert to GPE, if that's what you mean. The M8 and M8 GPe are different models with different partition locations and sizes.
You do need to be on a stock or close to stock ROM to gain S-Off.
ViperOneM8 works, and has been suggested by the developers of Sunshine S-Off.
MaximusHD is also known to work, and is what I usually suggest even though I work with Team Venom.
It's always worked because it is very near stock.
I imagine that it works with ViperOneM8 on a fresh install, before flashing the modifications that are available, or going through the Tweaks.

Any idea if Android Revolution HD by Mike will do?
Anyway, if the Official CM recovery will be able to install CM13+ updates when they release them, I am totally fine with how the phone is right now.
