Got my DNA today. Damn ***** updated on it own so now I'm on FW 2.06+. How do I go about unlocking the bootloader, putting a custom recovery for flashing ROMs, and flashing s-off? I'm a little overwhelmed reading everything and what exactl process to go throw to achieve flashing ROMs. Can somone tell me a lil step by step what to do? Do I need S-off first?....
Use Moonshine.

After doing moonshine I flash a recovery?

If you're not careful it will get you drunk.
But seriously, it will give you s-off, and the means to unlock/replace the bootloader. And then flash roms, kernels, etc.
I would suggest reading a much of the thread as you can before doing it, though.

I flash CWM straight from the hboot stock recovery? What is OTG usb?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Just follow this guide after you obtain s-off. It's pretty straight forward.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318159
On the recovery flashing, I used ROM Manager to flash CWM, before switching over to TWRP and using goomanager to flash it, so you can flash recovery from the device if you choose to.

Sounds like you need to install the drivers. Have you installed HTC sync? Did you get the ADB and fastboot drivers? You can get all this from the toolkits available in the development section.

Can someone possibly give those of us who aren't s-off the steps to flash either of these roms. Any help is greatly appreciated guys.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I would assume the same way as other roms except after you install the rom, flash gapps as well. Then flash boot.img in fastboot
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Would that cover the kernel as well? I ask because dmeadows says it requires s-off and alludes to ways to do it s-on but didn't give specifics. I'm on my phone only with the XDA app so searching isn't any simple task
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Yes. It should work like any other rom. I also recommend you s-off soon if you plan on doing it at all before the ota comes out. It saves a lot of headache

I'm HTC unlocked, just haven't been around a pc long enough since I did that to s-off yet.

How to install without S-OFF:
1) Make sure you are on a currently rooted rom w/ htc dev unlock
2) Run the S-OFF Utility
3) Reflash recovery & fix sd card
4) Install ROM as instructed
lol, pull the boot image from the rom.zip & flash it in fastboot
What con said will work... if you want to know what you are actually doing with some more in-depth instructions then check out this post over at androidforums.com:

Um I'd say so, what he's saying is just a off already its really not difficult at all and it makes flashing roms so much easier and you'll never boot loop because of a PH98IMG again!

I know it is a simple task, except when you are a newbie and get errors you don't know how to fix because you have no idea what they means. I have tried so many times to s-off and always get errors (I don't even remember what they were). So I am still s-on, not because I choose to, but because it does not work for me. I am not very tecchie , I just know how to follow the instructions to root. So I unlocked, my bootloader, and am flashing different roms. But when the instructions are very generic, with the assumption that everyone knows the technical terms and process, some people like me stay behind and remain s-on, even though they would like to get s-off.
The instructions for s-off are as simple as I've ever seen something like this made. Totally step-by-step. You only have to run controlbear and follow the instructions. The only tough part is the wire trick, and they have a video showing exactly how to do it.
My biggest problem in doing it was the wire trick. I tried wire from cat5 and failed repeatedly. I ended up using a piece of coax and got it to work almost immediately.
I flashed CM9 and AOKP the same exact way as I would any other rom with S-ON. Wipe, flash, fast boot boot.img (I just use the resound all in one tool to flash the kernel because it has the built in commands)

I made a mistake by not thinking clearly.. I have a s-on DNA that has NOS 1.06. I made the mistake of not keeping two different pieces of software on my phones memory and flashed NOS. Currently I can not get passed my HTC ONE screen to put a ROM that works with my phone... Is there anyway I can fix this?
Go onto recovery and use the adb sideload command to flash a rom.

To get into recovery go into recovery(pwr+vol down), then depending on your recovery you need to find the sideload option(probably in advance or something similar), then just plug it into your computer and use the adb sideload rom.zip command to flash a rom.

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

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.

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

Plug in your device and boot to fastboot usb, and run
Code:
fastboot devices
and see if that will pick up your device.
if not you need to check your Enviroment PATH and make sure you have added it to the PATH so you can call it from any directory.
If you have a USB thumb drive available try a live bootable version of Linux to do the moonshine from

Damn it's been a while for me but if you look in the stickies for DNA you'll find step by step instructions...you have download the SDK files onto your computer, connect the DNA to computer and run ADB to push all the necessary files (ROM zip and boot.img file) but this step only necessary if you are NOT S-Off...are you S-On or S-Off? Also did you create a back up "nandroid" of your DNA before trying to flash a different ROM? cause if you did you could do a RESTORE but again first things first, you S-Off or S-On?

He is s-on. He stated that in another thread. Also, you can fastboot flash the boot.img to fix bootloop issue. Just use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (be sure you are in hboot and have the boot.img from the ROM .zip in the same folder as your flashing tools on PC, or use the flashing tool "windroid HTC DNA tool" in development section.)

Not true. I'm afraid you are misinformed.
I've unlocked all 4 DNA's that I've had on a Windows 8.0 - 64 bit machine.
First one with Jcase's original exploit. Second with Supercid and HTCDev unlock. Third and fourth with Moonshine.
If you're on Windows 8.0, downloading PDANet will install the correct drivers.
Windows 8.1 however, broke the Fastboot drivers.
Hope this helps :good:
As always, have fun.
