I know there are other threads out there that offer exactly what this does, but even with those, I think it can still be a bit tricky to figure out what to do if you're looking to root and modify your phone. I made this thread to collect everything I've done in one place. This should make everything very straightforward and basically n00b-proof.
I take no credit for any of this work. Please thank all the hardworking devs!
**Following all of these steps will WIPE all data from your phone. Backup before beginning. While these should all be safe, there's always the possibility of bricking your phone. I take no responsibility if you do.**
What you'll need:
USB Cable
USB port
HTC Droid DNA (without the OTA update!)
PC running Windows
Glass of Orange Juice (for the Vitamin C!)
**All of this shouldn't take more than 30 minutes but just in case, make sure your phone has at least a 70% charge.**
Preparing (Installing SDK, Setting PATH, testing ADB)
I highly recommend creating a directory on the root of your C: drive on your PC to hold ALL related files. I called mine "android" but you can call yours whatever you'd like. Whenever issuing any ADB command, make sure you navigate to this folder first.
1. Connect your phone to your computer. One of the pop ups will ask to install HTC Sync. Install this to install the drivers onto your computer. Once installed, you can go into your Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the HTC Sync software if you want.
2. Enable USB Debugging in your HTC Droid DNA from the path “Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging”. The option of USB Debugging should be ticked.
2. Download the latest version of the Android SDK to your PC here.
3. Extract the files to your PC (I recommend something easy like C:\android)
4. Run the SDK Manager and uncheck everything but the Platform Tools and install
5. Add the SDK tools to your system PATH file by doing the following:1. Simultaneously hold down the Windows Key + R
2. type 'sysdm.cpl' into the run dialogue box and click OK
3. On the system properties window that just opened, click on the 'advanced' tab. Then click on 'Environment Variables'
4. Scroll down through the System variables until you find the PATH. Click 'Edit', then add ';C:\android' (or whatever you named your folder) to the end of the line
5. Click OK and close the open windows.6. Test ADB by connecting your phone to your PC then:1. Open a new command prompt window by pressing Windows+R and typing "cmd" into the box
2. Type 'adb devices' and press enter. You should see your phone's UID listed.
If it says adb devices is not a recognizable command then you didn't setup your PATH correctly
If it says <waiting for device> then your missing the drivers or you didn't enable USB debugging. Try rebooting, and if it still doesn't show, reinstall HTC sync.
Other Tips
You can download all the files necessary at the beginning and do everything through ADB.
Always check the MD5-hash after downloading a file. If they don't match, the download is corrupt and you should try again. I use this simply tiny, no-install MD5 checker.
Always Test after each install to ensure it is working properly. Don't just string all of these together without rebooting once. Bad things might happen and you'd have no idea what's causing it.
You can reboot your phone into the bootloader by either issuing the command "adb reboot bootloader" or pressing and holding the PWR and VOL DN buttons simultaneously when you reboot your phone.
From the bootloader you can enter recovery or you can issue the command "adb reboot recovery"
If your command prompt hangs pressing Ctrl+C will break out of the running command.
Some useful command prompt (DOS) commands:
cd - change directory (ie. 'cd C:\android' will change to the 'C:\android' directory)
cd .. - moves up one directory level
dir /p - lists files within the current directory
Unlocking Bootloader
The next step is to unlock the bootloader. The best method right now is provided by jcase. NOTE: Don't install the OTA update or you won't be able to do this!Step 1: Get SuperCID
Full instructions can be found here.
1. Download .apk from link above.
2. Run the app
3. Run the following Commands via ADB
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(wait for phone to reboot into bootloader)
fastboot oem readcid
If you see 22222222 you're good to proceed. If you see anything else, reboot the phone and try again.
Step 2: Unlock via HTC Dev site
Go to the HTC Developer website and carefully follow the instructions. They're very straight forward.
When completed you'll have unlocked the bootloader. You'll see a new warning on the splash screen and the bootloader will say *tampered* at the top.Install Custom Recovery
You can choose either ClockworkMod (my preference) or TWRP recoveries.
1. Download the latest version of your preferred recovery. rename it "recovery.img"
2. Using ADB issue the following commands
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(once the phone reboots into the bootloader)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(once installation is complete)
fastboot reboot
Now you'll have a custom recovery, and can make a full nandroid backup (recommended!).
S-OFF
Full instructions can be found here. beaups did an excellent job writing this up so it would be pointless for me to reproduce here.
Root / Custom ROM
Choose any ROM you'd like. I prefer Team Venom's ViperDNA. I'll use that as the basis for the next steps.
1. Download the full ROM found in the second post in the above link to your phone.
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Select "install zip from sdcard" and choose the ROM .zip file mentioned above. Follow the instructions on screen.
Note: If you choose a different ROM make sure it either includes a kernel that supports system write or you have to install one first by doing the following. Also, if you have WiFi issues after flashing the ROM follow these steps to reinstall the kernel.Installing the Kernel
1. Download a Kernel (such as dsb's Cubed Kernel)
2. Unzip the file and copy the modules.zip file to your phone.
3. Via ADB issue the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(once rebooted)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(once complete)
fastboot reboot recovery
The phone will reboot into recovery, at which point you should flash the modules.zipENG HBOOT
This is *Optional* and allows for additional ADB commands to be used.
1. Download the HBOOT-8064 file found here. (thanks to fnoji111 and Argumentation)
2. Via ADB issue the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(once rebooted)
fastboot oem rebootRUU
(once rebooted to the black HTC screen)
fastboot flash zip PL83IMG.zip
(once complete)
fastboot reboot
Mods
These are some mods I found to be essential.Remove the Splash Screen disclaimer
Full instructions can be found here.
1. Go to the above link and download the RegawMOD tool (first post) AND the Droid DNA ENG Hboot plugin (2nd post).
2. Make sure the plugin is in the same folder as the tool.
3. Customize it how you'd like. I chose to replace the disclaimer with my own, that basically reads
If Found, Please Return to
*Drumz0rz*
*My Home Phone Number*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. When you're finished press "Create ZIP" and save the file.
5. Via ADB issue the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(once rebooted)
fastboot oem rebootRUU
(once rebooted to black HTC screen)
fastboot flash zip <YourZipName>.zip
(once complete)
fastboot reboot
Now you should have a fully unlocked S-OFF custom ROM, custom Kernel, HBOOT Droid DNA! I hope this helps!
Will this method work for new ota ?

No, it's just a summary of what's out there. When someone releases a new method to unlock the bootloader I'll update it.
Thank you, when I rooted using the guide linked from one of the sticky posts most of the links were dead, so it is nice to have this.
One suggestion - perhaps include the steps to finish up for those that want to stay on stock rom but be rooted.

Thanks! Having these steps in a simple guide saved me a good bit of time.
Minor confusion on "Installing the Kernal". I extracted Cubed.Stock.System.Write.zip, flashed boot.img, then flashed Modules.zip in recovery. From the guide, does renaming the package to boot.img work as well?
Lastly, I'm not sure if you want to include flashing/loading ViperDNA's OTA updates.
Is there a way to factory reset phone and eliminate OTA update? I'm assuming no but never hurts to ask....

Hello,
I have no background in phone/computer knowledge, but I recently just started taking an interest in rooting and figuring out how to use my phone to its full potential. However, I might have screwed up on a couple things.
I was able to unlock my phone, but I accidentally wiped everything. There is no OS on my phone, and now my computer won't recognize my phone (it does not show up on My Computers). I researched and looked up many things on google, and tried a couple things, but to no prevail. I wish I could reset my phone to it's original setting, but I can't seem to do that. Now I wish I could download any OS.
I know this might be rather silly, but I know that the XDA community is very helpful. I have no idea how to dig my self out of this one, so please help. If anyone could walk me through on how to save the phone, I would be very grateful.
Thank you so much in advance.
Can you reboot your phone in bootloader mode? To do so phone in OFF mode by holding volume down and pressing power should bring you to this mode.
Then you will need to install SDK tool to have your phone control. Read HERE to do so.
Once done, install a custom Recovery and start at the -- Recovery installation -- section of this GUIDE
When the recovery will be installed correctly, you will have to sideload a ROM to your phone.
Download or locate the desired ROM on your computer.
Rename it with a short name.
Place it in the sub-folder : Platform-tools of your SDK folder.
Reboot in TWRP RECOVERY
Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload Slide to start.
From the command line, type : adb sideload your_rom_name.zip
It can take several minutes to complete the transfer.
If you need further help, I will be around to help.

Hi Lucky Thirteen,
Thank you so much for your fast response. The problem that I am running into is that I followed every step of installing SDK on to my computer. However, my device is not being recognized by the computer. No wizard, no USB recognition, it only tells me that the device has not been successfully installed.
Is there any way around this? Again, thank you so much.

This is normal if your phone has no OS installed. Follow this and go ahead in bootloader, it will work.
Download TWRP Recovery for the International version (ENRC2B) or for the AT&T/TELUS version (EVITARE_UL)
Once downloaded to simplify the operation rename your file like this : TWRPrecovery.img
Take this TWRPrecovery.img file and Copy/Paste it in the platform-tool of your SDK folder.
Reboot in bootloader mode. (Volume down & Power)
Make sure the FASTBOOT USB is highlighted.
At the prompt type >fastboot devices (Enter)
If you have your serial number as confirmation
At the prompt type >fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img (Enter)
If Success is achieved, type again at the prompt >fastboot erase cache (Enter)
You now have TWRP Recovery installed.
Unplug your USB cable and hit Power button one time.
Select Recovery with your Volume rocker.
Hit Power button one time.
Your phone should reboot in Recovery
Familiarize yourself with it.
Click on Advanced -> Sideload
And try transfer your desired ROM.
If this is successful, you will be able to select it in the Install section of the recovery.
Let see if this will work.

Hi Lucky Thirteen,
Again, thank you so much for all your help. I've been reading up on your guides and I've been learning so much. You truly are such a big help.
I was able to get Viper.img on to my phone through a adb sideload. However, when I reboot my phone, it still goes back to TWRP. I tried installing a rom through the Install option, but there is no .zip file that I can use when I go under /sdcard/Venom.
Is there any way I can get past TWRP?
Thank you so much

The ROM itself should be in a .zip format. You download the file you want and once finished you transfer it in your platform-tools folder without unzipping, it most remain a .zip file.
The image (.img) file (~5-10MB) is the boot.img to be flashed in fastboot mode for the ROM to boot.
So you have to sideload your intend ROM to your internal phone storage exemple : adb sideload The_Venom_Name_ROM.zip (Enter)
If I understood well, this is where you mixed up. Let me know the results.

I guess this is where I am confused. I am able to sideload Venom, and I install it, and it says that it's been installed successfully and that I reboot. I reboot, and TWRP comes up when I turn the phone back on.
From here, I tried to look for anything that would take me out of TWRP and onto the phone, but I cant seem to find it. So Venom has been successfully installed, but I don't know why TWRP keeps coming up.
Thank you
Try something, in recovery press and hold your power button your phone should reboot.

The file is rename sideload.zip on your SD card, so under install select Sideload then swipe and install your ROM. Don't forget to flash the boot.img in fastboot mode before.

Just to be clear. When you mean flash boot.img, you mean the TWRPrecovery that i have right?
So flash the TWRPrecovery.img and then install the sideload.zip?

I don't have FASTBOOT USB highlighted. I can't find one. So, I highlighted only the FASTBOOT. I then typed the fastboot devices. I got what seems to be the serial number. However, at the prompt, I tried typing fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img , but then it replies me "error: cannot load 'TWRPrecovery.img' : Invalid argument". I do have the downloaded recovery zip named TWRPrecovery.img in my platform-tools folder. What should I do now?
Thank you for bringing me here to this thread!
Hi Narakera,
When you are in bootloader mode, and you plug your USB cable the FASTBOOT USB doesn't highlight but your serial number is found. If you have a blue HBOOT + FASTBOOT highlighted then unplug your USB cable and press Power button once, this will bring you to a red FASTBOOT that will highlight FASTBOOT USB when a USB cable will be inserted. Could this be your issue?
See the screenshots for the differences.

So sideload did not work with toolkit i guess? It may take some minutes for your computer to recognize your phone in recovery or adb sideload state. Honestly said i don't use the toolkit.
What i recommend is:
- read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213910
and set up an adb/fastboot environment like explained. copy the desired rom into this adb/fastboot folder.
- boot your phone in recovery, connect it to your computer, start adb sideload in TWRP
- open command line (if necessary navigate to your adb/fastboot folder) and type "adb start-server"
- wait some minutes and type "adb devices". your device should now be listed there as in sideload mode. if it's not the case, repeat this step.
(shouldn't take more than 10 minutes for your pc to recognize your phone, otherwise there's most likely something wrong with your driver)
- now that it shows up in the list as in sideload mode, type "adb sideload name_of_your_rom.zip" and command line should start displaying progress in %.
When it is finished, rom installation should be started automatically. Otherwise, the rom is now saved as "sideload.zip" on the root of your virtual sdcard folder, so you can flash it.
Also don't forget to install the right boot.img/kernel for the rom!

Did you flash the correct boot.img like i said? what boot logo is it? the "htc quietly brilliant" one or the "htc one" with beats audio logo?
If it's the first one you did not flash the boot.img.
If second (and of course you did flash the boot.img), there must be something else wrong. boot in recovery:
Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Check all boxes > Swipe to wipe > reinstall rom!
Just DON'T format /data partition.
you were right thank you very much!:fingers-crossed:

I'm guessing you want to place a rom on your sdcard, if you have a recovery of some sorts, go into recovery mode, then use adb to push a rom into your sdcard.
If you don't have a recovery, flash this using fastboot: http://bit.ly/1dtNvWg
Flashing the recovery: connect your phone via usb, go into bootloader and select fastboot, then on your computer go into cmd (in the folder with fastboot and adb) and do: fastboot flash recovery (name of the recovery image, default should be "recovery.img" WHEN FLASHING PUT THE recovery image in the same folder as adb and fastboot!)
ADB & Fastboot: http://bit.ly/L1rwJX NOTE: ONCE YOU DOWNLOAD THE FASBOOT AND ADB GO INTO START BAR LEFT HAND CORNER AND SEARCH CMD AND COPY PASTE INTO THE DOWNLOAD FOLDER WITH ADB AND FASTBOOT
Once you have flashed a recovery (if needed) copy and paste whatever rom you downloaded into the adb and fastboot folder, open cmd (in same folder) [NOTE: MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS IN RECOVERY] and do: "adb remount" this will remount your device and to make sure your device is mounted do: "adb devices" is should list your phone. Next for pushing the actual files do: "adb push (filename:ex "rom.zip") (path) <-- [For path I would do /sdcard] Because rom's are around 600-700mbs it will take a bit, [DON'T UNPLUG USB CABLE] around 3mins. And soon as its done go into recovery and flash the rom. Walla!
Thanks for your help.

I was trying to flash a rom and I did wrong.
The phone got stuck on the white HTC screen.
I'm trying to get it back, the problem is that when I connect to the pc is not recognized. I installed SDK Tools, adb, drivers and all.
All In One Toolkit run and try to flash the boot.img but it says "error: device not found"
I run adb commands but it says the same thing, "error: device not found"
I tried it with Venom Flasher but I can not solve.
I uninstalled and went back to install the drivers, but I still have the same result, I run out of options.
When I turn the phone enters fastboot, I can access the recovery, but the phone at this time does not rom, dead.
By mistake I went to lock the bootloader but today I unlock it again with the All In One Toolkit and the bin file, so do not understand why if the file could flasher to unlock the bootloader again, but when trying to flash the boot.img or execute commands like: adb devices, adb reboot bootloader throws the error "device not found"
I appreciate it can help me ...

ADB commands are only recognized in recovery or when system is running. re-unlock your bootloader first. you can reboot into bootloader by pressing and holding power & volume-down button. navigate using volume buttons and enter fastboot by pressing power button. Now you can flash boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" or using any One X+ compatible toolkit. If it doesn't work, try installing latest HTC sync on your computer to get latest drivers. you can uninstall htc sync later again, the drivers will remain installed.

ADB commands are only recognized in recovery or when system is running. re-unlock your bootloader first. you can reboot into bootloader by pressing and holding power & volume-down button. navigate using volume buttons and enter fastboot by pressing power button. Now you can flash boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" or using any One X+ compatible toolkit. If it doesn't work, try installing latest HTC sync on your computer to get latest drivers. you can uninstall htc sync later again, the drivers will remain installed.

Yeah, try doing that. I locked boot loader again but still had no results. What I did right now was "fastboot flash boot boot.img" says ok, but just gets stuck on the white screen. The phone right now has no information, nothing. I have in my pc folder with the rom that was installed (zip with boot.img) I have the latest version of clockworkmode.

Correct, as said in the post "Note: For KK 4.4.x necessary CWM recovery from Lloir's thread."

Did you do a wipe in before flashing the new rom?
Anyway you can copy a new rom.zip onto your phone using "adb sideload rom.zip" or "adb push rom.zip /data/media/0" while you're in recovery. Then do a full wipe first, flash rom and don't forget to flash boot.img.

Thanks for your help...
I cant flash zip file, its says "error: device not found".
I put the zip file in adb folder, then "adb sideload filename.zip"
Do not know if I'm doing well, I turn on the phone in recovery mode, then with the volume keys I go to "install zip" option then "install zip from sideload" then run the command I get the error.

ADB may take some time to recognize your device in recovery. Try "adb devices" first and if it isn't listed as in recovery or sideload, wait some minutes and try again. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes though.
But you have installed latest drivers?

Your phone needs to be in recognized as in sideload mode in order to use adb sideload. when recognized in recovery, try "adb push rom.zip /data/media/0", this will copy your rom onto your phones internal memory. Depending on rom size, this may take some minutes and there's no progress bar/display, so give it some time, 10 min should be enough.
