Hi
I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I was s-off, rooted and decided i wanted to return to stock.
Anyway,i did the following
downloaded correct nandroid ruu and flashed it all ok
I then decided to flash the recovery back to stock so can install the ota updates, i had the htc one toolkit at hand so did it through there and it all said success
Opened fastboot and relocked bootloader all fine.
I rebooted and download the first ota update however it seems the recovery did not flash and am still ion twrp, so could not install ota update.
I tried to reflash it, of course it wont because bootloader now locked
when i try to unlock using fastboot oem relock i get the [ERR] command error
I cant unlock using htcdev as i still have the custom recovery.
Does anyone have any idea on how else i can get back to custom recovery, while the bootloader is still locked, or is there any other way to unlock the bootloader?
Many thanks
steve
Why don't you install the latest RUU using the sdcard method?
Btw I believe you can unlock using htcdev. Just flash the unlock token you got the first time.

Unlock your fastboot using relock? Try unlock?

That doesn't work either ! ......you have to "flash" the unlock token again, the one he got the first time.....he can use it again !
And if you use a RUU on a S-OFF device you do NOT have to relock the bootloader.
And the RUU he used wasn't an original RUU......an original RUU always flashes the stock recovery !

Oh right, indeed, that is true. It's been a while for me since I last done that. Probably back when I had my HTC Legend.

Hi guys,
I have a rooted one X and want to install he latest update. I tried to relock my bootloader by starting fastboot and then type:
" fastboot oem relock"
Now my phone should be relocked and it does show relocked in pink in the bootloader, but under that stands security warning I don't kno if thats normal or important or something. I rebooted my phone and downloaded the update but when i try to install it i still get into the bootloader.
What am I doing wrong and how do I unlock my bootloader again after the update?
Sascha
You unlock by flashing the unlock_code.bin file again like you first did.
To apply an ota update you also need to reflash the stock recovery

It returns me to bootloader))
You can try to following download stock recovery and download the RUU of your phone ( the same version as your latest official update ) then go to fastboot
Type
Fastboot flash recovery "your stock recovery " .img
Hit enter
Fastboot flash OEM lock
This might give an error but when you type it again it wil work
Now put your phone in fastboot again and then start your RUU from your pc if it gives an error just search for another One it will take about 10 min but after your phone will work fine
Hope it helps

Hi guys,
I have searched a bit but havent really found a solid guide.
I just brought my gf a HOX, and I checked it was shipped with Ship S-off, CID11111111111, Hboot 1.12
Now when I looked for guides to install CMW, all the method includes unlocking at HTCdev and fastboot.
Now I understand I can skip the fastboot method with S-off, how do I flash CMW and custom roms? Do I just put in the CMW.zip fie into the sd card partition, go to stock recovery and flash it as update.zip?
My previous phones were the Defy (2ndinit method) and the droid razr (bootstrap), how do I get CMW with an S-off HOX?
Thanks all, dont flame me for not searching, I didnt find any obvious method :silly:
You should be able to flash it directly with fastboot using "fastboot flash recovery NameOfFile" command or you use one of the flash tools.
Edit: After installation of cwm you are able to install custom rom via recovery
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
You follow every other guide, just ignoring the bit about HTCDev as you don't need it
Not skip fastboot, just skip unlocking through HTCDev. You just can flash custom recovery via Fastboot, without unlocking youre device.
Edit: Sorry guys I didn't read your above comments.
Wow its that simple? Even if it shows "locked" on the top, I can just ignore that right?
Cool thanks
Yep, as you have S-OFF so already have access to the other partitions

of course it is simple! you don't even need to flash the boot.img every time you install a rom
How much would it cost to get this device s-off?

Hi guys,
I got into fastboot mode, opened up CMD and type: " fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img"
Then it tell me

Then I tried again

Am I doing something wrong here? The status is "Locked" but it is S-off
I also tried fastboot oem unlock and it just freezes
Maybe they sold me something that says Ship S-off but its actually S-on?

you have to unlock the bootloader to flash the recovery file... use HTCDev.com to do it

So what's the point s-off then???
You have to do it just once and from there on you can flash boot.img files from sdcard, without the computer. And you can up/downgrade your hboot as much as you like. At least I think it works that way.

If you really wanted to, you could still unlock you bootloader by using the command fastboot oem unlock I believe.

Try that, didnt work.
But I got it figured out after reading some Chinese websites.
Basically fastboot wont work because it is still locked, but S-off means you can flash any RUU.
So I downloaded a RUU flashing tool, then just put the custom recovery.img into the RUU.zip (with nothing else inside but the android.txt file) and flashed it.
Now I have CMW and I can flash anything without having to fastboot boot.img
IF your phone is S-OFF you don't have to unlock the bootloader, you can just flash things 'out the box'. Follow guides as if you've already unlocked the bootloader

So if someone wants to install the JB firmware.zip and have a CID of 11111111, should they change their CID to a compatible one or can they just add 11111111 to the androidinfo.txt and then flash it and it'll ignore the broken signature?
What if they need to flash a boot.img seperately (a repack for example), can they do this using fastboot without unlocking it?
My HTC ONE Verizon I have accidentally relocked and cannot flash a working recovery. S-OFF. It happened by accident while I was using WinDroid universal toolkit and hit relock by mistake, I have CWM recovery on it but I can't wipe and install a ROM without it freezing. I have tried sideloading liquidsmooth but it stalls at startup. Is there a way to get an unlocked bootloader without installing a ROM? Do I need to use an RUU and if so which one?
Thank you very much in advance.
There is a zip from Scotty's thread on how to lock/unlock using recovery or su commands.

since you are s off you can also use my ruu mode compatible trwp in my ruu thread. that will get you a custom recovery and root back. then run the command to unlock from Scotty's thread.

You'll have to go through the process again on HTCDev to re-unlock your bootloader. You will get a new unlock code BIN file to use.

Not sure, but that's exactly what happened to me. I re-locked the bootloader before installing a custom recovery, and my old unlock_code.bin file would not unlock the bootloader again. I'd get some error in the terminal window when I tried to do that. Then I decided to try the whole unlock procedure again on HTCDev, and I got a new unlock_code.bin file, which successfully unlocked the bootloader.
thanks for replying
i installed sunshine, and made my bootloader unlocked and changed S-ON to S-off

Sunshine S-OFF unlocks the bootloader too I believe. It's $25. Not aware of any other method, just Sunshine and HTCDev that I know of.
I thought so, found nothing when searching.

I honestly never used towelroot so I can't answer that, but it almost seems like it should from this thread.
[Android][Unlock/S-OFF] SunShine for modern Motorola & HTC devices
How to use with TowelRoot:
If you are having difficulties with TowelRoot, or SunShine saying you are not rooted, you need to use a specific version of TowelRoot. The version on his main page does not currently work with HTC.
First go to http://towelroot.com, and then from that page go to https://towelroot.com/tr3.apk (hot link blocking, cant go straight to the apk).
Then install TowelRoot, and click "Welcome" three times. This will open the hidden "modstrings" option. Change the modstrings to "1337 0 1 0 4 1" and click "Make it Ra1n". Then run SunShine. After SunShine reboots your phone, you will have to repeat the process before running SunShine the second time.

If your device is S-Off as you mentioned, you don't really need to unlock bootloader to flash recovery. Just use the RUU mode to flash a firmware.zip with your CID/MID matching in android-info.txt and put the custom recovery in that firmware.zip.
In fact you only need the android-info.txt and the recovery.img only, no need other things. Main point is flash it in RUU mode, then you can boot to custom recoveryto install root/SuperSu
or use the 0P6BIMG.zip method

yes, it is. I did it to my new M8 a couple of weeks ago. I'll post what i did shortly.
Edit: Here is what worked for me. I was S-On, and did this to get unlocked and s-o ff without using HTC Dev
1) reboot device into System (might be unnecessary, but i always like to start with a reboot)
2) Install Sunshine and run it. It will give you temproot before it starts the process to s-off your device. You can cancel the Sunshine process after it performs the initial check on your device. After you do this, do not reboot until after you do step three or you will lose temproot.
3) Once you have temproot, follow these directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
I hope that helps. Consider donating to the Sunshine guys since you're using their temproot functionality.

That is what I suspected (that you don't need to unlock the bootloader once s-off).
Why won't the usual "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to install custom recovery work in this case?

Never go deep on why ... but fastboot command like fastboot boot and fastboot flash need an unlock bootloader to run command, so I guess fastboot oem rebootRUU will temporarily unlock the bootloader to execute the command
