Hi Guys...
Just got an insurance replacement....
Running 2.06
Did moonshine s-off but need to unlock bootloader also so I can load recoveries....
Can someone please help me.
When I try to install supercid....I get install failed.
Thanks!!
If you are S-Off then the phone is unlocked and you can flash the recovery provided you know what you are doing.

Your unlocked so now go in the app store and get "ROM manager" which will flash you ClockwordMod Recovery. (Easiest way IMO)
I am an idiot....I do know what I am doing but didn't realize moonshine it all in one step.
All good now...instalingl twrp
Or get Goo Manager and load TWRP
I'm new to the phone world but I'm trying to get up the nerve to root phone but I don't feel Like I'm tech savvy enough to do it,the whole unlock Bootloader because I have (2.06)..it just sounds like too many things can go wrong...any advice?

Its not that hard man really just read read read moonshine basicly does everything for you. You just got to know a little bit about using android adb.

The easiest method really is to dl the Ubuntu 32 bit iso and make a bootable cd/usb of it and do moonshine from within the live portion of that iso. takes all of 30 mins and most of the time completes without issues everytime like clockwork.

You don't need to download Ubuntu anymore they added windows support I moonshined using windows xp
4.3 Carbonized DNA!!
Yes I did it the other day. There are some good videos on YouTube that help. Got an error and for some reason my phone was showing up until I put it in the adjacent USB port.
*I think it's USB port related, not software*

Yes, but using windows brings a lot more chance of error due to drivers and other bs, that's why I said the easiest way, was using Ubuntu.

Hey guys, this thread seemed on topic for my question. I have a used DNA on the way, I presume it has the new firmware.
Coming from a Rezound with S-OFF and unlocked bootloader, I want to be able to flash ROMs and kernels on my DNA. Do I just need to get S-OFF and then I can load custom recovery and flash whatever I want? This is what it sounds like, but just wanted to clarify. Thanks!

I have not been following the DEV scene for this device in awhile. At this point even with the latest firmware and latest hboot you can achieve S-OFF?
Moonshined with win 7 64bit. Failed a bunch of times 4th time it worked. Same USB port.

Is this the software version number giving everyone the error 99? 3.16.651.3 710RD. Currently running stock Rom , rooted, and boot loader unlocked. Was wondering if Facepalm will work or have to use DirtyRacun? Just wanted to be sure, as this is only my second HTC to mess with.
message sent from somewhere
Use babyracun to downgrade. Continue with dirtyracun if you want or finish with facepalm.
So the folks saying it works on 3.16, it was a previous version, right?

Doesn't work with 3.16 at all. Need to downgrade before you can S-OFF.

Well I decided to give dirtyracun a try, installing ubuntu as I type this. Doesn't seem hard at all.

I used the babyracun method using Windows 7 and then used Facepalm with no problems. You don't NEED ubuntu but that's all that those developers support.
Thanks for your help, I spent a couple of hours talking with team Unlimited in IRC as I was running DirtyRacun, got it finally, being a Ubuntu noob, I thought I would never get it. Wasn't that hard, just went ahead and finished with DirtyRacun, instead of Facepalm.

Are you flashing the boot img in fastboot before installing in recovery? Most sense roms are over 500mb and have the same kernel so it boots up fine without flashing the boot img before hand. Aosp roms will require you to flash the boot img before hand if you're s-on

^This. You will need to put the boot.img in your ADB tools folder on your computer, put the phone in fastboot USB mode and use the command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' to flash the kernel to your phone. A better solution is to get S-off so you don't have to mess with flashing the kernel separately .

Agreed. Best thing to do is get S-OFF! :good: :good: :good:
S-OFF is cake now. No reason NOT to do it. It will make all of this EASIER for you. Just up and do it.
You have two possible methods to do this: DirtyRacun or Facepalm. The latter can be done in five minutes.
You'll thank yourself later.

From the thread I linked previously -
"You can also come by irc for support or just to say thanks: #FacePalm http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=facepalm"
I know it can be scary, but you have to read the forum(s) and/or watch the video(s). Since you took the trouble to register on this site, don't rush and take the time to learn and understand by reading, reading, and more reading. It's not an overnight thing, but it does come eventually. It took me 6 months before I began to have a decent understanding of what I was doing with my first PC...
No offense, but we can't hold your hand as you cross the street. You have to take those first steps yourself. Read carefully, make notes that YOU will understand a day later... but you must take the responsibility for what happens to your phone.
Can you tell I'm a parent? :silly:

Why didn't you pick a better time to do this since India and Pakistan get power outages? Or use the generator in your house. Corruption these days smh.
Back to the point, I had a similar situation except I made the classic mistake that almost every single person with an unbranded amaze made. Flashing an ics rom without firmware or even s off. I however know how to search, read, and comprehend unlike many of those people who bloated up the q a section with ICS updation threads...
I solved this little mess by finding a gb rom then starting the quest for s off, super Cid, and the magical firmware.
Tip: To anyone on xda reading this, knowing how to search and read will determine whether you are a smart newbie or a hopeless NOOB.

That is correct, being S-On prevents that, you would need to S-OFF to downgrade.
Why back to 3.14.605.12? Is there a problem with the global leak you are currently using? The 4.3.605.2 ROM is stock, just not officially supported by Verizon.

There is nothing "wrong" with the Windows version, I have used it several times. The first time I tried it it took a good 10 times to get the timing down though, and the last two times I used it on phones with 4.3.605.x stock ROMs I have to run it a few times to get everything to shake out, it would error out, the phone would get stuck in HBoot, or something, and I would have to reboot and start over. The Windows version can be flaky, go to the Ubuntu version and try again... Make sure you watch some of the Youtube videos on going S-OFF on the the Rezound, they can help if you are doing it for the first time, the wire trick is the critical part, the timing has to be just right.

I am not sure if you can access this folder without being rooted but you can give it a try. No harm in it. If it works, fine or you always have an option to flash custom recovery.

When I check the error it's says directory doesn't exist. Maybe I have to create it?
Is there anyway to do this from my computer? I'm running Linux mint and have fastboot and adb working?

I did, and I still got the same error. "No such file or directory"
I must be getting the path wrong. It says checking system, data/preload/tunein.apk
I think maybe I need to create that file on the system folder, but it's not visible from my pc and I won't save on my phone, (I think because I don't have root)
Any idea's?? I appreciate your help so far dude [emoji106]

Your computer wont be able to see system folder/files. You need a root browser from play store to do the trick for you. You need to create a preload folder un System/data using root browser. I believe you need to have root access in order to do these steps and for this you'll need a unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and super user flashed.

Thanks mate, I have unlocked, installed custom recovery and SU.
Now I think I will have to go back to the stock recovery for the OTA to go through. How do I work out which stock recovery I need?

Thanks heaps for your help farazhassankhan!:good::good::good:
I have finally got this to work. I am on stock sense 6 rom.
The one step I had to do different was put the three missing files in \data\preload instead of \system\data\preload
Now if only I could S-OFF.....

Hi, thanks again for your previous help!
I'm still battling away with this thing trying to get S-OFF so I can relock bootloader and get my finger print scanner working.
Firewater and rumrunner don't seem to work, they both say I need a different (unsecured) kernal. I've tried flashing one, and almost bricked my phone......
Not sure where to go from here?
Any suggestions would be awesome.

Like I said earlier, I did S-Off when I was on 2.47 hboot and I didn't need any Insecure Kernel. I am not sure if 2.49 would require an insecure kernel to S-Off with fire water.
I will read that forum for you to find out if you would need an Insecure Kernel and will let you know. In the mean time you keep searching as well my friend.

I'm all good now. Once I flashed CM11 firewater worked! Then I restored a back up of stock sense 6 and relocked my bootloader using scottys method, now i have my working finger print reader back.
Thanks again for you help.
