[Q] Rooting hboot .98 and 2.3.4??

EDIT: Nevermind... sorry for the post. By all accounts - no stable (non bootlooping) method to root as of yet. Sorry again. Thanks.
So the wife just picked up a Dinc2 (free upgrade) and I want to root her so we can backup/restore apps and such.
The phone came with:
- hboot .98
- android 2.3.4
- software 6.01.605.05 017RD
I was going to follow the directions provided by nat3mil here to downgrade and root: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgIYFGcVimU&feature=plcp
My concern is that much of this information I'm finding is a bit old and I don't know if the processes still work with the newest (presumably) software.
Can anyone shed any light on the subject? Thanks!

HTCDev unlock will work perfectly with no bootloops but voids warranty, I heard XTC Clip will also do the trick if you're willing to pay for it. Bootloops are only on Sense ROMs btw with the tacoroot method, AOSP is fine.

I have my GF's phone and she wants it rooted just so she can restore Titanium Backup her's is the same as OP
I just ran the HTC DEV unlock, can anyone help with the next step of rooting?

Rename this file to PG32IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23303294/4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC3.zip
Put this file in the root of your sdcard, you don't need to change it: http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
Boot into the bootloader, and wait for it to recognize the zip, then hit vol up to flash it. Boot into recovery and flash the other zip you put on your sdcard, then reboot normally, open Superuser and update the su binary, and you have root. Make sure you delete the PG32IMG.zip after you're done.

It recognized the zip
But doesn't give the option of flashing it
It is stuck on Checking

Odd. Check the md5sum, maybe you got a bad download? I'm getting a42bfe0c0a92ad2790467a1393a804b4.

how would i check it?
i have tried with re-downloading

Try just extracting the recovery_signed.img from the zip and flash it with fastboot, "fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img"

It worked!!!!!!
never have used that recovery before usually CWM or twrp
i actually had to type this
Code:
C:\>cd/Makbak
C:\Makbak>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Makbak>fastboot oem rebootRUU
... OKAY [ 0.310s]
finished. total time: 0.310s
C:\Makbak>fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img

C:\Makbak>fastboot reboot
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.155s
C:\Makbak>adb reboot recovery
while in recovery flashed from SD card the SU.
it worked!
Thank you very much!
would this recovery also work to flash any roms (she is asking about a way to have battery percent only where battery is displayed in top right only way i know of is a rom.

Interesting. If it worked, it worked, I guess lol. Yes, 4EXT is fine to flash ROMs, I think most out there have an option for battery percent. I don't have a donation link, if you're that donate-happy, give it to one of the great devs out there.

thanks... ya, i ran htcdev to unlock. i actually pushed SU through adb and all worked well.
thanks all for the help!

for s-off and root on the 6.01 follow my guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723920

Please help!

I'm trying to install Miui Rom so i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device but when i try to install the rom i get this error!
assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device")=="endeavoru"|| getprop ("ro.build.product") ==endeavoru"
E:error in /sd card/miuiandroid_endeavoru-2.8.31.zip
(Status 7)
and the bigger problem is i restored the backup but the device doesn't work properly! no service! no wi-fi and it keeps turning on & off!
so please help me! i just bought the device :'(​

The error message says you don't have the quad core Tegra3 One X.
If you're sure you have right phone, make sure you have the latest recovery, I think an old version suffered from this problem.

In the bootloader it should say ENDEAVORU not EVITA or anything else.
5.8.4.0 is the oldest CWM you want to be using. 5.8.2.4 is ancient.

If all you want is stock,
1. re-lock your bootloader
2. install a RUU.
what software version is your stock rom?

[Q] My one is dead? RUU

Ok, So being a total a noob that I am, I attempted to get google edition ROM using a tut called How to Convert Any HTC One into a Stock Google Play Edition with Bootloader, Recovery, & OTA Updates. I can't link sorry, not realzing it's only for GSM phones. I just changed the model ID in android-info and didn't think and changed my CID. Tho, when it finished flashing, it stayed at 100%, so I just turned it off and went into bootloader. Then, I went into recovery to fix it, and it just boots into google edition. So, you're thinking WOOOO! Unfortunately, not the case. I was put into a boot loop, so I just turned off my phone, went back into bootloader. The problem is, I can't do anything without a boot loop, besides going into fastboot. I have successfully changed my CID back to VZW__001, but when I try to flash cyanogenmod(what I was using before) it says C:\Users\(My name)\Desktop\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash zip C:\Users\(My Name)\Downlo

Install a custom recovery like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416431 then
ADB copy the CM ROM to the phone and install it using the custom recovery.
You're obviously s-off and unlocked so whatever you do keep it that way. There are decrypted RUUs that you can use in the forums if you need to get back to a working state and then you can go from there.
EDIT: You said you were using CM before. I'm not sure if you lost your recovery using that tutorial. If you reinstall your custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), that's where you want to reinstall CM from.

Skrewy Rom?
So this rom was a RUU for the google edition, so it replaced my bootloader and deleted CWM. Unfortunately, factory reset in bootloader, flashing zips, backing up or restoring in CWM do not work because of this weird rom. I have a RUU downloading from htc1guru(google it and find 1.10.605.10 Verizon RUU Zip) and it said it was decrypted. Does this mean that I have to encrypt? Or would I just fastboot oem rebootRUU and then flash the RUU? Also does bootlock need to be on or off when flashing?

not sure what boot lock is, unlocked boot loader?, if you run the ruu I thinknyou need to be in fast boot is all
Sent from my HTC one using xda app-developers app

Unlocked Bootloader
So ya that's what I meant unlocked bootloader. There is not an exe file I can find for RUU verizon HTC one. If u can find on that'd be awesome, but for now I have to download this RUU and try to flash it. I will update when I flash it, but it's a big download so it won't be soon.

Fixed it!
I successfully flashed that RUU and my one is back up and running. Thanks xda!:good:

Your problem now is Relocked so you can't flash recovery to restore the nandroid backup.
So:
1. UNLOCK the bootloader (For S-Off device see this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571)
2. flash the Philz recovery to replace TWRP
3. restore nandroid
4. optional - flash stock recovery
5. optional - relock bootloader
6. done - now on stock

Firstly A BIG Thanks [ckpv5], I managed with your Walkthrough.
Unlock bootloader (S-Off was cake.)
flashing Philz was difficult (converted recov.img to zip and created text "android-info.txt"
and flashed to device.
Philz touch 6 had issue with some stock image and "aromafm.zip" (i have no clue what happened here, I just copied in multiple folders just to make sure the software take it from where ever it wants. .
After multiple retires of error screens, finally i saw some progress screen which i was dying to see .
in the end a message root was currupt do you want to fix (just said yes and it rebooted in Stock.
Last not least..... THANL YOU ALL FOR YOUR REPLIES ,,,.
Aru.

Don't really understand the problem with flashing Philz recovery. As long as you manage to solve your problem, then it's good.
Suggest you make your own backup with TWRP so easier for you when you need it again as you are more familiar with TWRP

All things regarding flashing needs to be done with an unlocked bootloader. Except ruu files on a s-on system.
