I went through the steps and now phone is off and wont turn on. When connected QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager.
Do we need to have the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers for this exploit to work?
Thanks ahead of time.
EDIT: Did a battery pull and started over from begining. We now have S-Off!!!!! Failed to install CWM but I will install TWRP
Does Amon Recovery work? If so, can we get instructions for that? If not, instructions for CWM.
Thanks,
Mike
Oh okay, I failed.
When I did that it just came up with a list of commands
If your phone wont turn on you probably dont have your fastboot drivers installed. Do that first
AS for amon RA recovery that hasent been built for the shooter yet. If you want cmw just keep running the revolutionary application and it will ask if you want it to flash CMW

I have all the drivers installed. I have uninstalled htc sync. I am stuck on waiting for fastboot. Can't get past that part. HHHMMMMM
Edit: I reinstalled the drivers about three times while it was waiting for fastboot. Disconnected and connected a few times and it finally took.

So that means that you should opt out of the CWM install and install TWRP after doing s-off? Would be nice if we had full instructions: including what to select/install during the revolutionary exe.

Exact same situation here.
Edit: Just saw the post above that CWM isn't working yet.
I flashed this through fastboot and it appeared to work. It won't boot into the recovery though. Are there some steps I'm missing?
beta key
I have tried to enter in the beta key oh about 20 time but it keeps saying invalid press almost and key to abort anyone else having this problem ?
I used revalutionary to root and it worked great but I tried to use Rom Manager to load a rom and since it made me install CWM Recovery. I now do not have a recovery. when in bootloader it will scan for PG86IMG.zip but it is scanning for PC86IAG.zip. Can some help me fix this.
?

Screw CWM and ROM manager...take the extra 20 seconds it takes and just boot to recovery by hand. flash TWRP and be done with it.
EDIT: Sorry, here, http://www.techerrata.com/dl.php?path=27&file=PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.0.1.zip download that, unzip it and then download fastboot from here: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2 then type "fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img" , make sure all of these files are in the same directory....oh yeah, with no quotes.
I must be stupid
I cant get fastboot to work. Does it work on win7 64bit comp? I put the phone in fastboot usb mode and go to the comp and try to run fastboot but all it does is flashes for like a mil sec and does nothing.

You've gotta go to the command prompt....
So, first download and unzip all of the files into a folder called "recovery" (no quotes)....
or click start, click run, type "cmd" then hit enter. then type "cd Desktop/recovery" (no quotes).... then type in the fastboot command I gave you above.
ok, well thank you soooo much for your help, but I still cant get tis to work.
1 How do I get my comp to now to flash the comand to my phone, do i have the phone in charge, disc drive or go into fastboot?
2. the comand you told me to type into the cmd was 1.0.0.IMG BUT the file is 1.1.0.zip
I had a friend that is very smart with cmd promp and he was confused with how running this on the computer -- to get it to the phone.
all we got was an error that it could not find the path
Just follow the guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192643
Basically download a recovery rename it to PC86IAG.zip power on using vol down and power the recovery will flash and then reboot and delete PC86IAG.zip.
Or turn off quickboot settings/power uncheck quickboot and then reboot your phone and I bet you will have your CWM recovery, but you need to do the above or a battery pull to do a real restart.

Dont bother with all that cmd prompt crap you dont need to follow what I said. Easiest way is the battery pull then reboot to recovery.

Download that file. (it's TWRP recovery). Rename it to PG86IMG.zip. (if you're on windows, remember that the '.zip' extension won't show, and is already there. So just rename it PG86IMG). Then place the file on the main directory of your sd card. Shut your phone off, and boot into the bootloader. It will scan and find the PG86IMG.zip, then ask you to update. Press volume up to say yes. It will finish. Then reboot. Then shut phone off and boot back to bootloader. Select the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should then successfully boot into recovery. That's all you should need to do. And as daneurysm said, forget about Rom manager, and do your wiping and flashing manually, from the recovery menu. You'll have less troubles that way.
EDIT: After you get recovery working, flash this http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...echerrata.com/toastcfh/Shoot...d-unsigned.zip, and then you'll be fully rooted. At that point, I suggest downloading "quickboot" app, and you can use that to boot to recovery or bootloader much quicker and easier. Have fun.

Yea, your response wasnt there when I started typing mine. I started typing it, then had to get some pizza out of the oven and cut it up. Then got back to my response. Wasn't trying to steal your thunder or anything. Also, you said to rename it to PC86IAG.zip or something....does that work? I've only used PG86IMG.zip. Just curious if you made a typo, or if you can use either one.

Thank you guys very very much. That fixed it, my phone is back. All that needed to be done was to rename the PG86IMG.ZIP file to PG86IMG and restart the phone into recovery. Thanks again to all that helped.

Cool deal glad its working!
The problem is you let clockwork flash recovery when rom manager per say doesn't support or list the Evo 3D for a recovery to flash. As the earlier poster suggested Quickboot works great
wrong

Rom manager does support Evo 3d and clockworkmod recovery. Everything is working fine or me.
Hey everyone,
This is my first time posting to the forums. I have been trying to get everything done without having to ask questions since there are so many all over the place and I can see how it can get tiring trying to help everyone when their may be an answer out there already if you look. However, I have ran into an issue that I can't seem to find much information on. I have the HTC Rezound that is S-On (apparently you need a Linux machine to get S-Off which I don't have. Using Windows 7.) and have been using fastboot to get things done. I have unlocked the bootloader and have installed the 'Amon Ra' recovery and setup Superuser and SU. As far as I know, I have to use ROM's that are S-On friendly (right?) and I chose to try out 'EclipticRez' and later 'Talon'.
As I tried to flash the ROM's through fastboot it fails with the following errors every time and I cannot continue:
archive does not contain android-info.txt
archive does not contain android-product.txt
From what I found is that it may be a bad download of the ROM. Maybe.... But it happened consecutively with two different ROM downloads.
I also read that maybe the recovery wasn't setup, which as far as I know it is. Should I use a different recovery? Everyone usually references to using CWM, which I wouldn't mind using but I couldn't figure out how to get SU access.
Can I just create the files myself? They are only txt files after all.
If anyone can help me with this I will be so grateful! I'm pretty new to this and it has definitely been a fun learning experience for me
Much thanks in advance!

1) Switch to TWRP or CWM for your recovery.
2) You install the rom zip via recovery.
3) You then need to fastboot flash the kernel from the rom zip you downloaded. You don't install the whole rom via fastboot.
To borrow from the CM11 thread.
- Place the boot.img into the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Boot to the bootloader.
- Ensure your device is connected to your computer and that your device is now in fastboot mode. This is a white screen and it says fastboot on it.
- Open a Terminal (OSX or Linux) or CMD window (Windows) and cd to the platform-tools directory of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Issue this command to flash the boot.img we placed in the platform-tools folder earlier:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Watch the output of the terminal, it should say something like "sent successfully".
- Finally send this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Since you're s-on, you'll need to do this whenever you install a new rom. Using these steps, you can install any rom you want.

also to note....you dont have to install linux to get s-off....if you follow my guide you can do it straight from a live disk rather than installing it....so it wont erase or mess up your windows partition at all
Solved!
Thank you, Mjones, I finally got it! I knew it was much easier than I was making it out to be. I was missing the kernel! Yeah, a crucial part in the process, I know
I first ran CWM and flashed the ROM over and ran the .zip through recovery (which I couldn't understand at first as I could never find it in the directory) but the installer would only go 50% and would fail... makes sense why now lol
I later flashed TWRP and backed up again after recovering from the fail. I flashed over the kernel and voila! So simple... Had to slap myself.
Thanks again! Case solved.
REV3NT3CH, that is sweet!! I have been hoping there is a way to gain s-off with Windows. I have 7 at work and 8.1 (which I can't get anything to work on) at home. I actually have to focus on work today haha so I'll look into the method and try it out tomorrow if I can. Thanks for all of the help.

Did you try this first? (Right from Moto's site)
Perform a factory reset using external keys
1. Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button
2. Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
3. Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then go on to step 4
4. Press both Vol up and Vol down key simultaneously. A menu will come up
5. Tap on Vol down key until "wipe data/factory reset" is highlighted, and tap Power key. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap on Vol down key until coming to Yes and tap Power key
6. After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap Power key
7. Phone will reboot to initial setup screen.

can't boot into recovery.
can't boot into system.
Only EDL Mode and Fastboot Mode, but fastboot is Locked whic I cant unlock because I cannot boot into system to toggle USB Debugging and allow OEM unlocking
Qualcomm is harder to flash than MTK that can use SP FlashTool.
on this I use QFIL but keeps "sahara error". I tried searching and try moving firmware file to bin but no Luck. I'm currently trying different version of QFIL Tool.
If it FAILS my only HOPE is to use MUT-QCfire which will Require a "SmartCardReader" Which is a bit pricey and I don't even know if it will work on my device.

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 ...

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.

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.

A month without phone and thanks to you it works again!
Thank you so much, I could not pass the zip in any way but with "adb push rom.zip / data/media/0 /" if it happened and I could flash ...
I Repeat .... THANK YOU!
have the same problem with my HTC One X.
Can you gave me an answer?
So I recently had my phone temporarily rooted via weaksauce, however, after updating to Sense 6 with the Verizon OTA update, weaksauce will not root properly and it continues to fail. Is there no way to fix this or am I missing something with the OTA update? I sort of need to use weaksauce because I am not confident in my rooting ability to be able to restore the phone to factory when I turn it in for an upgrade in a few months.
none
I would start over. The posts on how to root are very good. There are also youtube videos you can watch. It really is very easy to root this device. if nothing else load a program called team viewer on your computer and I will root it for you, but I want you to try first. You will use something called rumrunner. PM me if you need help

I would second that. If you are going to root a phone for the first time this is the one to start with. It is extremely well documented and this is a very helpful forum. I had the same feelings when I started (HTC Wildfire) back in the day and I did about everything wrong but in the end figured it out. Now there a several helpful threads and videos as stated above. I would recommend that you do a dry run, have everything together and go through the steps one by one in your mind or on paper before doing the actual root. You may miss something but your odds are better. Trust yourself I thoroughly believe any can root this phone and it's easier than you think and the value besides learning of the great ROMs that are here etc. is well worth it. Even if you temp root it you are going to have to know what to do to get it back before you turn it in so the knowledge will be necessary.
Are you on hboot 2.49

rumrunner will not work if he's on the ota update of sense 6, he will have to flash a custom recovery, do a nandroid backup, flash vipermax rom, and run firewater.
as to the OP, it's very easy to do, follow the guides for setting up SDK/ADB, download the appropriate custom recovery for your device (i personally like TWRP the best), place that file in your adb folder that you made from the SDK/ADB guide, unlock your bootloader if not already (i did mine via HTCdev, they have a guide). then boot into the bootloader via power+vol down, scroll with volume keys, and select with power button, go to fastboot, plug in your usb cable to your computer, if you have the drivers it will change on your device "fastboot usb". then open up a command prompt in your SDK/ADB folder (do this by shift+right click in the folder and select open command prompt here). in your command prompt type in "adb devices" to make sure your drivers are right and it see's your device. now type in "fastboot oem rebootRUU", your phone will go to a black screen that says HTC on it. now type in "fastboot flash recovery "put the name of the recovery file here".img", then after that completes without any errors, type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" press the power button with bootloader selected, scroll to recovery and press power button, once you're in recovery, do a nand backup of your stock rom, after you've done that while still in recovery, i would strongly suggest saving this backup file to your computer, you can do this in ADB by typing in "adb pull /sdcard/TWRP" and it will pull the entire directory with your backup in it.
to gain s-off and fullroot, download vipermax rom for your device, while in recovery still, you can put the rom zip file in your ADB folder, and in ADB type "adb push "Name of the zip file" /sdcard" and it will copy and paste the rom zip to your sd card, once you see it finish in the command prompt, click on install on your phone, scroll to the zip file and click on it.
when the phone boots up, make sure you connect to wifi and go through the setup, once that is done download the Firewater file, and follow the instructions. and you should get s-off, now in adb type "adb reboot recovery" and then click on restore, and restore your stock rom, now you're stock rooted, with s-off.

And i think that should be it, if after you do this and want to flash back stock recovery it's pretty simple, find and download the recovery image for the version of rom, you're using, for instance, your ota update should or will probably be in your downloads folder, if you open it with zip, (i use winrar) you will find a zip in it named "Firmware.zip" open it up, and you will see a file named recovery, extract it to your ADB Folder, boot into the "Fastboot oem rebootRUU", then simply type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" let that finish, then type "fastboot reboot" and it will start your phone, and now you'll have the stock recovery and be able to receive and install future OTA updates, if there is any. >.<

Really an excellent post it's nice to have all that in one place. I also was unable to get rumrunner to work and have used firewater quite successfully (which was part of what I was trying to point out above). Also, I was unable to get HTCdev to unlock my phone. That may or may not be about me. I am a Linux person and I think I might have had the wrong adb/fastboot at the time. The one in the android sdk did not work for me but for anyone on LInux who is interested the one in this link did http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-max/help/andrenaline-rom-constant-reboot-t2853591
Once again, excellent summary, I will be bookmarking this for later.
I think all of the above info is great and everyone trying to help is awesome. However I really liked having a soft root via weaksauce for a very limited amount of apps like titanium backup and root explorer. So am I to understand that there is no newer Weaksauce or similar available for 4.4.2 and sense 6?
Enjoyment to the MAX!

As far as I am aware firewater still works. I used it just a few days ago and just saw a post today http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-max/help/gain-s-off-t2849836 although he doesn't clearly state that he was using sense 6,
