Hey everyone,
I was wondering, is it required to S-OFF your device for future ICS ROMS? I really don't feel comfortable using the wire trick, but would really like to install future ICS ROMS that the wonderful devs are working on.

Hello all,
I am new to Rooting, Unlocking bootloaders n all that.
My question is simple. Hope somebody can help me out.
Is it enough to Unlock the bootloader on my HTC Thunderbolt to install a new ROM ?(Now that HTC has released bootloader unlocking from HTCDev.com for the Thunderbolt)
I want to install HTC Sense 3.5 on the phone without rooting the phone.
Is this possible ?
If so, can someone provide me a link to downloading the HTC Sense 3.5 ROM. I tries searching and I am not quite sure how to get the correct ROM which will work well. Also, I would like to have the HTC Sense 3.5 as clean as possible.
Is there any specific ROM that would give me a very clean experience ?
Can xda members also help me out on Ste-by-Step instructions to installing the new Sense 3.5 ROM to my phone ?
Any help is much appreciated !
Thanks in advance !
No you need root in order to flash a custom rom, everything you need to do so is in the stickies in the development stickies.
Well, you don't need root to flash a custom ROM, but most likely the custom ROM will have root regardless. To flash, you just need a custom recovery installed.

Just got my rezound today, experienced flasher, but with s-off phones.
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader, and rooted the phone and installed the amon-ra custom recovery, from what I've read it seems to be the most popular for this phone, if another one is better please let me know.
But the flashing of custom roms has me a little confused and I couldn't find a good guide to do it, what I want to do is keep my gb bootloader, so I can get s-off when it comes out and install a fairly stock rooted rom based on the ICS OTA with wireless tether capability
Is BAMF Rezound ICS v2.1 Official based on the OTA, I'm not familair with rezound firmware history, if not which are and what steps do I have to take to install it.
I read something about bootloops if you don't install a fix.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide
BAMF ICS 2.1 is a good stable option for a custom ICS rom. Its very stable and fluid and fairly close to stock ICS with Sense 3.6. It has a few tweaks Joel threw it but all the core components are there. As a far as keeping the same bootloader that you mentioned there is a patch in that thread that has to be flashed since you are not gonna be on the lastest HBoot or firmware. Just make sure to flash the kernel since we don't have S-Off.
Hello fellow gurus.
First i'd like to apologize for opening another thread.
I read trough all related threads and i couldn find the right answer.
I have GSM Evo3d.
Its on Hboot 1.53.007,unlocked bootloader, S-ON
I installed custom recovery and installed CoolEXE 14b rom and its working great.
All except 3d camera stuttering and 3d video playback stuttering.
As far as im aware GB ROMs have better 3d support.
A few months ago i successfully reverted back to GB using:
- Free 3VO_V2 downgrade to 1.49.xxx
- S-OFF wire trick
For some dumb reason i went back to ICS and now i cant remmember right order of actions to revert back to GB.
What i the right order?
Should i first downgrade of attempt wire trick?
Do i need to be on official ROM to do that,should i relock bootloader first?
Im trully sorry for asking such stupid question but please hlep me get from my current state (Unlocked,Hboot 1.53.007,S-ON,custom ICS)
to my desired state (Unlocked,Hboot 1.49.xxx,S,OFF,Custom GB)
Thank you!
There is no way to downgrade hboot if you haven't s-offed.
Are you able to set phone to usb debugging mode? If so this may help...

I managed to downgrade to 1.49.007 by first installing official rom then wire trick for s-off and then by using downgrade tool.
thanks for your help guys.
I hit thanks button to both of you!
Cheers
Oh,and just one more question:
Have you noticed that 3d video playback stutters with ICS?
Why is that?
I read some thread on xda that maybe HTC deliberatly screwed up evo 3d to make us purchase new line of phones.......
I guys, I'm an occasional lurker that has a question for all you people that may be able to help. I have a Sprint Evo 4g LTE that has never been flashed and has only had stock updates up until this point. Personally, I liked ICS more and thought it acted faster. I attempted to flash it with a stock ics (the newest ics firmware) and the utility indicated that it was mismatched. I thought I'd ask here before I went on so I don't brick the phone. What I'm wondering is what does it take to get it back to the stock ICS? If I have to go through all the s-off and maybe some hboot stuff, is there a popular ICS firmware that I should use and skip the official?
I read a few results from my searches but I found a lot of questions that included their phone already being rooted and such. I don't really care about the rootage...just looking to get back to ICS.
Thanks in advance.
The only way for you is to root/unlock your phone and flash an ICS rom like mean rom ics which was packed with a lot of features, debloated, great battery life, etc... If you try to RUU back to ICS you might end up with a brick, I advise you against that, be careful and look for bigdaddy619 root guide and if you want the full experience get your phone s-off, of you only do the unlock thru htc dev you will have to flash the rom in a special way because the kernel/boot.img has to be flashed separately, anyways mean rom has this baked in so after you unlock/root and/or get s-off head to the original development thread and look for mean rom ics... Remember that before you do anything you will need to backup your personal stuff because the first step (htcdev.com unlock) deletes everything... Good luck!

Hi,
First off, I'm pretty new to android rooting/s-on/s-off/roms etc. so I'm already having a hard time .
I'm trying to get rid of the hboot 1.11.0011 by downgrading to gingerbread, but it's impossible to find this RUU for my device.
I've got this one, it's working: RUU_Flyer_HC_S_HTC_WWE_Wifi_3.55.1114.31_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.07_M_release_227869_signed
But that is not gingerbread.
I'm trying to downgrade to update to the custom rom NexusFlyerV1.3.
I'm following this guide first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070140
If anyone can help by guiding me to a different approach or the gingerbread ruu it would be fantastic!
Thanx in advance!
