Hi guys..just like what the title says...do I have to go thru the whole htcdev process? Because when I try to get the unlock token in cmd prompt it just says waiting for device and its just stuck there. Any ideas?

Thanks bro. Had to do it all over again. Gave this amaze to my sis a while and now she wants it rooted. Anyways, already did the whole process and flashed speedrom 7.5 pretty good so far.

I origanally rooted using the hboot downgrade method to 1.4. I am running Common Sense Rom with Cools kernel and I have upgraded my hboot to jbears 1.58. Now my speaker quit working and everything from the splash screen to the recovery is custom. My computer no longer exists due to my ex wife. Is there any way to return my phone to out of the box stock without a computer. I still have my backup I made right after I downgraded my hboot but that's not going to help I don't think. Please help.

No, sorry. I think you would need to run an ruu from a computer.

Are you sure and where can I find the latest one?
Edit. Thanks to my friends on here with links to all the ruin.zip files I needed. I was able to go stock and got my speaker replaced for $41 dollars. Then with a few more magic ruin.zip file I'm back to my favorite setup. Cake work with you guys on my side. Thanks.

When I saw the news for the HTC Thunderbolt ICS update finaly out I got so excited, I returned my phone to stock, ran the update, and was happy... not thinking "what if they update the HBOOT"...well THEY DID. Stupid me for not waiting one more day for the rooted release! So now Im unable to acheive S-OFF as my HBOOT is now 1.08.0000.
Perhaps its too soon to be asking this, but is there a way to S-OFF the new HBOOT?
Nope you're Sol until an exploit is found. Oh and there is an if there too because I don't know how much interest there will be in finding an exploit for an old device.

Well if anything came out of this, we now know for certain the results of accepting the update and hopefully warn others. I have to take this phone into best buy for repairs, and seeing as I already did this once and they just gave me a (defective) refurbished model, they most likely will do it again.
HBroot off
I have been able to get S-off via HTCdev after I requested the code to unlock the bootloader. I am stuck now with root and I would love to know if somebody knows how to push the root onto the ICS stock rom?

That can't be done. If you're s off flash the ics radios in Santods post in the developer section and then flash the ics rom.

I've tried it and it will not stick. Not sure why but I wish I had waited for the rooted rom before going back to stock and getting the OTA update.

Since I have been able to get the bootloader unlocked, I should be able to get root somehow.

Yes you should be able to flash superuser in recovery to get root. You won't be able to use the stock ICS ROM though if you're still s off

I had the OTA and after the update got S-OFF via HTCdev's site. I tried to flash a custom recovery but it will not stick. Any clue why?

You're still s on but unlocked like I thought. I don't have the link off hand but have you tried the all in one tool?

Yes but the tool (Thunderbolt tool) does not handle HBoot 1.08 at the moment. I wish it would because this would solve my problem
Find the thread that has the fastboot flash able form of cwm and then get back to me. I'm thinking that the root method may be different now though so I'm worried an ordinary version of superuser won't work.

I decided to take the plunge, and perform the OTA, after that hopped over to HTCDev to get the bootloader unlock to root. Flashed the handy dandy CWM recovery from fastboot, and rebooted into recovery. Flashed the SuperUser package. Guess What? No ROOT.

Then that says the root method is different.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I did a fastboot and flashed frev3vo, and ran adb shell.....although I wasn't root at the prompt, I was able to su root from adb shell, but I don't know at this point how to get back to root. I probably can't load an RUU either cause I lost S-OFF.
Try flashing this one in recovery. http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip?retrieve_file=1

Problem Solved. I had been installing the superuser.zip package to get root, but the SuperSU solved my problem, now I just have to get S-OFF again at some point, but for now I am happy root!!!! That Fixed IT
I haven't used an HTC phone in over a year since the original M7 release. I'm used to Samsungs where all you need to do is open odin and flash a few files and boom you're done. I can unlock the bootloader no problem but I am confused on the steps to get twrp on it. Can I just follow a guide for the M7?
for those who also need help, i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694564
Just unlock boot loader on htcdev site, flash twrp and when you go into the recovery and exit it'll root for you

Can this be undone with no trace of prior root?

I assume you just unroot and flash stock recovery and relock boot loader

Will we be able to flash Roms from the international M8 just like we could on the M7?
