Hey im having troubles getting s-off
- ive attached an image of what cmd is showing me.
- i have hboot 1.49.0008
- there is no rom currently on my phone
- htc sync cannot connect to my device. so the htc sync method won't work.
any ideas?
thanks
Meaning revolutionary does not work on your hboot. U have to use htcdev

revolutionary does support 1.49.0008.
ive also tried the xda s-off - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1247392
but the file mmcblk0p31.img does not exist.
Did you install the correct windows drivers first?

No rom at all? I'm pretty sure you need a stock rom in usb debugging mode for revolutionary to properly root the device.
you have all the latest drivers installed from HTC? entered all of your information correctly, double check the little obvious things you might have missed. For some reason it is recognizing your phone, yet there is some kind of incompatibility issue... it is not recognizing your device as the one you (think) entered it as.
double check ESN, Hboot version, io code you entered, etc.
Make sure usb debugging is checked. Menu/settings/applications/development

I have a HTC Evo 3D and I used HTCdev's bootloader unlocker to unlock my HBoot 1.5. Trying to find a rom to flash/fastboot in order to set "s-off" and gain SU permissions. Stuck in the middle of it and dont know what to do next......wish I kept my HTC Evo 4G :-(
Any hints or advice welcome, and thanks for reading my post...
What rom are you trying to flash ?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using XDA App
I haven't tried to flash any roms yet when im checking out these rom pages most of them require you to be in superuser mode, which i am not yet in. only unlocked the bootloader so far. just looking for a point in the right direction from someone with HBoot 1.5 on Evo 3D who has successfully been able to get the su permissions to work with a 'stock-like' mod that just unlocks the su.
also, my S-On is still on which wont let me enable the flash from hboot so i would need a process to get it thru using my laptop
I believe i need the proper PG86IMG.zip file associated with my phone also.
I already have the correct files such as SDK, java, and htc drivers.

Take a look at the unlock guide from zedomax. It should be a sticky. Also, you won't get s-off with the htc unlock.

Hello.
I have a friend's Thunderbolt that's called HTC Cobalt in Open Mobile. I unlocked it via HTC dev and it all ran successfully. Now I'm trying to install a recovery (CWM). And all I get is an error.
I tried installing it via Revolutionary, but no go. I also tried the All in One Thunderbolt tool and still no go. Here's a pic of the bootloader:
Is there a way to root this thing properly to add a recovery?
Can u flash 4ext in hboot?

Yes, and it said something about the phone's software being old.
And later attempted to use Zergrush, but it failed.

Well, I had to do an OEM lock just in case cuz he returns it. I told him not to though. Open mobile employees are kind of dumb so it would look better as relocked than unlocked.

You need to unlock it again in order to put the recovery on it. That will be the only way to get superuser installed.

since youve allready unlocked,heres what id do:
-reunlock(use original token)
-fastboot flash recovery( fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname>.img
you can use any recovery,it doesnt have to be ext 4. i personally refer twrp or amon,but thats up to you.
-flash a rooted stock rom,2.11.605.5 or older
-run revolutionary
despite calling the open mobile modle "cobalt" the hboot screen clearly displays mecha,so theres really no reason revolutionary shouldnt work.
if it is getting some sort of CID error,might try making a gold card and putting it into the phone when running revolutionary.
in a worse case,you can always make a gold card and downgrade to exploitable vzw firmware,and manually write shadowmites permanent patched hboot. after that,you should be able to fastboot oem write cid 11111111 to superCID the TB and then run the open mobile ruu to get back to that firmware.
just holler if you need a download and/or help with the commands
Great post. I will try that. Thanks a TON!!!

check out this thread:
http://androidforums.com/thunderbol...591-help-root-htc-cobalt-aka-thunderbolt.html (i actually found yours while searching for info for the other one )
all he did was run fre3vo and then revolutionary. you can stay relocked and do that(directions here: http://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/418539-thunderbolt-root-unroot-thread.html )
or you can re-unlock,flash recovery,then prolly flash superuser 3.0.7 instead of flashing a stock rom. all that really matters is root acess for revolutionary to work. shouldnt matter if its temp root from fre3vo,or permanent root from htcdev
the main thing is that it worked for him without the use of a gold card.
I am following the bootloader unlock instructions on HTCDev.com (I have unlocked, rooted and flashed other HTC phones) and ADB/Fastboot cannot see phone via USB.
When I try Fastboot oem get_identifier_token it says 'waiting on device' and when I try 'adb devices' it shows nothing.
I thought that the usb drivers were installed when I plugged it in normally because Windows sees the phone and lets me browse the SD card via windows explorer.
Figure that I am missing something simple...
Thanks

Try a different USB port. My laptop has three usb ports, but only one through which I can use adb

Thanks... Changed USB ports from front to rear of computer - made a difference. Thanks!
Also, I forgot that I hadn't installed HTC Sync which seems to be a reliable to get the drivers installed. Did that and had a different result.
Thanks again!

You have to be S-off to downgrade your touch panel. Won't work otherwise.

As far as I know you cant s-off hboot 1.02, besides, there is no need to, as you can pretty much do everything needed anyhow.
Your trying to install an ruu, so you need to re-lock hboot again.
From memory reboot into bootloader, connect phone to computer, select fastboot mode, in cmd mode on pc goto where fastboot.exe is and then type fastboot OEM lock.
Just double check that before doing it, the instructions were included in the unlocking email from htcdev.

dear i did relock but when flashing ruu it gives error 131
Ok, I searched google on your behalf
Error 131 means you are trying to install an ruu not ment for the region of your phone, the solution is to either install the correct Rom for the region of your phone or make a goldcard, however at this point the website to make goldcard is not running.
There is however a backdoor to make goldcard that might work, look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41527043 and have a read.

What what what? Isn't that an ruu, you run it on a windows pc with phone connected, it's not a Rom you flash with recovery or legeimg.zip

Could you have some decency and tell us how?
Unsure what happened. Phone has been rebooting and overheating for days so I went to RUU it and after I relocked the bootloader my phone decided not to go past bootloader anymore. When I try RUU I get Error 140 Bootloader Version Error. My bootloader has a Security Warning at the top which was not there before. I would like to RUU and get S-OFF so I can take the phone in without issue but am having no luck.
Some more info would be useful. What Hboot & baseband are you currently on, and what RUU did you try to run?

The radio version is directly below the Hboot version. That looks like the Hboot version. Boot into the bootloader and list the info displayed in the top left corner of the screen, all the way down to the radio version.
You relocked so you'll need to unlock again. You may even need to install a recovery again. What ROM/kernel combo were you on? If you were on a custom kernel, I would try a different one or stick with stock. Some kernels don't play well with certain phones, especially if you're overclocking or changing the voltage any. For now, try unlocking and getting the phone up and running again.
Also, gaining S-off is highly recommended

Hboot is 2.09 Radio is 1.12 I cannot unlock because it won't write. I cannot seem to do anything. I tried using the Unbricking tool but it does not recognize my device. I think this issue started when I tried to lock after a failed s-off attempt.
What do you mean when you say it won't write?
Also, for your radio, use the last four digits, not the ones at the beginning.

Full Radio is 1.12.11.1210 and when I flash something via fastboot it sends it then has a write error. I have tried flashing RUU's, recovery, my unlock_code all to no avail. I tried using the unbricking tool but linux doesn't seem to see my device (I am new to linux). I appreciate the help btw.
You won't be able to use fastboot commands to push a recovery to your phone while it's relocked. Also, the RUU won't work because you're on a software version higher than the most recent RUU.

The unlock token won't write. Nothing will write. If there was a modified RUU that would help. If I could modify my version so the RUU would work that would work... and yeah HTC really screwed us...
Edit: Actually the unlock_code.bin writes but then nothing happens on the phone...
Update: took it to a sprint store and they fixed it. They apparently have 3.16 RUU. Or magic....
