okay, i got my sd card working and just need to update my hboot to get S-OFF, i have the spl-signed that i think will get it, and also got Flashrec, but.. idk how to change/update my hboot? i'm using a custom recovery image with villainrom 1.4, i almost have this rooting stuff down, but i got really confused trying to do this.. lol.. >.>;
Fkash you SPL via the update.zip method. Use the customer recovery to do so.
just rename it update.zip and flash it in the recovery mode?

Yes, if it has been made as an update.zip file. You can test but does it have a script inside it?
File: hboot.img and folder: META-INF

Go inside META-INF, what do you see?
a folder named com with a subfolder named google, and files CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, and MANIFEST.MF

That's not an update.zip. What version hboot are you trying to flash too and if you have a link from where you got it from I can check it out.
Can you let me know why you are updating the hboot please?
i'm trying to get it to hboot with S-OFF so i can use fastboot oem eraseconfig to get adb back working, i got it here: spl-signed
Just checked, it does have an update script
Code:
write_hboot_image PACKAGE:hboot.img
You can use recovery to flash that file
okay! so just boot into recovery, power + home (I think?) haha, and just simply flash the zip?

Have you not got a custom recovery installed yet that does nandroid backups? If not then get a custom recovery installed first. try in my sig below for the link.
i'm using amon-ra's i think? it does nandroid back ups

Run the file from that menu, hold home + power on until the menu appears. Then flash.

Not too sure if this one is unlocked that you use. The one I use is in the 2.1 downgrade link in my sig. Possibly the same one not too sure.
Will someone who has an RUU downloaded please hook me up wit the latest gingerbread recovery.img.
Thanks
Edit..got it
I thought I had it, but I just cant figure it out. I know someone here can help me out. I just need the latest stock gingerbread recovery image from a RUU. I downloaded the 2.17 RUU from here http://www.filefactory.com/f/4ef0ef536face67a/
and I cant just explore it because its an exe file. so I did some googling and found this http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
seems pretty easy, right? well its not filtering the files i need it to (probably a noob mistake) well since that wouldnt work... i tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1273900.html and when I try that, my temp folder isnt where the op says it should be, and yes, im on windows 7. please help me here. give me the recovery image or tell me how to get it. thanks in advance.
I imagine you could pull it from one of Mr.Esp's RUU.zip files (part of football's thread).

Yeah, I downloaded the 2.17 ruu but I can't figure out how to extract the recovery image.
I thought u downloaded the .exe from Football's thread. Did u download the .zip version from the post I linked?
You should be able to open the zip and pull out the .img file, I think.

go to the correct thread and download the RUU for that SW version and then instal and you should be set to roll... be sure to rename the file and install it to your root to let your hboot install it on its own

I have downloaded the official ROM from sprint for sw 2.08 but now you say I have to rename it? Can I install it like every custom ROM?

That wouldn't be a rom I don't think if you dl it from sprint. It should be an exe file you run from your pc. Just plug your phone into your pc and run the exe you downloaded. It's called an ruu. It will erase root and your recovery and return you back to stock.

I'm not getting what you're saying here. I ran the 2.17 ruu and then I tried the 2.08 and it wouldn't install, I thought it was because it was older, but maybe I'm missing something. What file do you rename, the ruu? Install it to my root? What does that mean? Did it fail to install because I'm 1.5 s-on,?

I've found that anyone who reported random reboots was using the pg86img.zip files through bootloader to upgrade/downgrade the sw version. It's not that all pg86imgs don't work properly, its just that some don't and I don't know which ones. I'd strongly recommend using an RUU.exe file from your computer to go back to 2.08. I soft bricked my phone for a few hours also trying to install a pg86img.zip (but that was a dumb error on my part, and the RUU.exe fixed my stupidity )
EDIT: if the file you downloaded is an executable file (.exe), run it from your computer and you don't have to rename it anything. If you downloaded a .zip file, it has to be renamed to PG86IMG.zip and you have to put it in the root directory of your SD card

that was my fault and i am sorry... forgot to tell you to relock your bootloader before you install that file to your sdcard and boot into hboot...
I have been screwing with my phone for over 4 days straight and I CANNOT figure anything out....Im so frustrated!!! I flashed a ROM and now I am in continuous bootloop mode. My clockwork mod is completely broke down, I can't backup my nand because it is on Amon recovery. but i can't figure out how to reinstall Amon through bootloader....since, when i restart my phone. i only get about 5 seconds to try and do anything before it bootloops.....PLEASE someone help me step by step. I need someone to comment back and stay posted on this thread for me....please I am on my last leg, I just want my phone to be rooted, a good recovery installed and thats all I'm asking for.....But the problem is, I have to do everything through bootloader because of the bootloop.....I want to get clockwork mod off my phone and reinstall Amon recovery.
Run the ruu of your choice and then while in fast boot do:
Fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img
would you mind posting a link to a RUU for me please?? I am to the point where I don't care what ROM it is. I just wanna be able to get on my phone and get recovery working right. Thank you

no you run the ruu first and what you flash in fastboot is the recovery
flashing a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery file.img
then flash a rom
i honestly can link you to a list of ruus because there not all in one place :/
also once the file is installed onto my PC, I have to extract that file to c:\android where I have fastboot located in correct???

If it's an exe file just plug your phone in and run it but if it's a zip file rename it to "PH98IMG.zip" and put it on your external sd card then reboot to bootloader.

Somehow I managed to soft brick my AT&T HTC one...I've spent the last three days trying to fix it, but I am utterly failing. I'm at the point where I am trying to flash the factory RUU, but I have no idea which RUU.zip to use.
Basic Googling and troubleshooting has brought me to this post; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276 but I frankly have no idea which one I should choose. I've tried a few but they've all failed. I'm really just looking for some assistance on which zip to use and I should be able to take it from there.

Ok, I see, you have to extract the zip and place it into the TWRP backups folder. Haven't used twrp in a while, but isn't there a file manager? If possible you need to extract the zip file and place the folder in the TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNumber/. I believe that is the directory.
I'm sorry I didn't realize that before.

I finally got it working! There is something up with htc1guru.com which is causing it to terminate downloads after a certain period of time. I downloaded it from a server of mine, pushed it to the device and restored. Only issue now is that the touch screen is not working, which I was expecting, but I'm trying to figure out how to issue an OTA update without being able to use the screen.
