I've spended almost the entire afternoon looking for this info and it seems everyone is just too smart and I'm too dumb or we lost kinda the "basic guide" somewere.
I've just got the phone 2 days ago and the idea was to get the Yas4 v11 installed, still dont wanna wreck the new phone and I'm trying to do things as they should.
Yas4 v11 does not need the S-ON, so I've got one thing less to think about, and that's the only thing I actually know...should I root the device? ( don't think so ) Still I think I should install a recovery right?...please gimme some basic steps and I'll wreck my mind into it, I don't really want to be a disturbance.
Whould gladly appreciate any kind of help :laugh:
PS: Done it with a defy a looong time ago( still have it, still love it ) and with my ex Xperia ZL ( but only original software on the last one ) so I'm a little rusty

First of all, the rom itself is rooted so when you flash you will have root. This does not require S-OFF because it is based on stock ics. To do the procedure you have to unlock your bootloader through the htc.com website and have the fastboot drivers and files on your pc to flash the unlock code binary. There are plenty of guides showing how to do it, just a registration on the site and follow the steps to unlock it (ps: you will loose all the personal data on your phone, eg:factory reset. SD card won't be affected) After this part is done you will see ***UNLOCKED*** on the top of the bootloader of your phone, good luck

Yeah weird, you got it second hand? You could bypass the unlock from htc because of S-OFF, nevermind. So you can install any custom rom out there, remember that using any aosp rom you will loose the 3D recording (taking video/pictures). What's your hboot version? To install 4ext on your mobile you can download it here and flash it through fastboot mode. "fastboot flash recovery 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC1.img" is the command. Change the recovery name to a smaller one for easier use.

In order to install aosp roms you have to downgrade your hboot. If you want to downgrade it is very easy. I can explain it to you if you want.

So Aosp rom is equivalent to custom rom...
Whould this be allright?:
Downgrade to BL 1.49
Quote:
►►Now to downgrade bootloader to 1.49....
►►Remember that PG86IMG.zip file?
►Put it on the root of your sdcard (so don't put it inside any folder)
►Boot to Hboot->Fastboot-> bootloader
►Press BOOTLOADER button...
►Now we wait until the installation is finished... of course, press YES when it says so.
►►You're now on bootloader 1.49, S-OFFed, and with a custom recovery...
If not please explain

I don't know much about GSM phones... Is the phone already activated....
My guess would be you need a recovery on it and wipe and flash a rom... Sounds like your stuck in hboot or the old rom didn't take and it is bootlooping.. I don't think you can use a RUU if your phone is unlocked it would have to be relocked to use one....

You could do that I would first try to use adb and put a recovery on it tho.... If you can flash a recovery to the phone....
Then wipe and flash a rom you want you should be fine... I would try this before relocking....
OK. I will try this later td.

The recovery wouldn't work, so i re-locked and used the rogers RUU and the device is back to stock and working like new!
Hi guys, i'm just thinking about this:
If i downgrade hboot and i do root and recovery, when ics will be released i'll be able to update to it (FOTA)? Of course i'll go back to stock by RUU.exe

In all honesty, you can stay on stock, but there will be rooted version's, rom's which you'll want which will make the stock one look a bit naff, plus you won't be able to use apps like titanium and adfree etc.
Personally i'd never go with a stock rom, unless i had to. i'd probably get rid of my phone if i had to stay on stock.
I only want to know if i'll be able to update or no to ics >.<

Mmmm... but it's the same if i unlock now right?! So i unlock now and when ics is released i'll get back to stock Right?
Just make a nandroid of the stock rom once you have recovery cwm and then you can simply 'superwipe' and restore, then just ota update.
I never even used the htc_unlock site because I had a cid_001 phone.
But first i have to downgrade the bootloader. i have done it. It have changed my android version now i'm updating by ota to lastest firmware. And then i s-off and install recovery and do a nandroidbackup right? Answer yes or no.

Here's the stock recovery -------> http://db.tt/8kvjRqec
I agree with whoever said wait and get the rooted version.
A stock ICS rooted ROM will more than likely be up within 24 hr of it rolling, which is probably before most people get it naturally anyway.

Frist you will need to downgrade to HBOOT 1.49.1107 and then S-OFF your phone.. just rooting it does not help.!!
Just follow this to downgrade :

and this for S-off:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17233858&postcount=1
(SCROLL DOWN until you see : S-OFF & ROOT)
Keep in mind that in order to do downgrade you need to relock your phone and when its time to S-OFF it you need to unlock it again ! good luck!
Or if you want to flash Rom S-ON, I think you I'll manually have to flash boot.img using fastboot and then everything should be fine, according to me !

He's s-off, no need to relock the bootloader, did you think about getting info on the device first before just saying restore to stock? Get his experience level as well, if he got stuck on this, probably clueless on basic stock restoration.

Lol it happens, get used to it.
Anyways on to the individual at hand.
What's your device info? Like hboot version, what android version were you on before trying to flash? ICS or GB?
Here's a basics run down on how to get things going again.
There's a stock ruu/ota thread in the dev section, grab the stock GB ruu for your device, put your phone into fastboot mode (check in the amaze bible thread how to do this), restore your device, if it's a zip file for your carrier, rename it to PH85IMG and place it on your sd card, reboot into bootloader and then hit volume up to restore the stock ruu.
If it's an exe file, put it into fastboot and run the exe file, follow all steps and restore the device.
Once done, update to ICS via the software update option available on your device under settings>about phone>software update
Once you're on ICS, flash a custom recovery via hasoon's tool, then reflash the rom you were trying to flash in the beginning.

I thought I read we can still root this software update
But have to use HTC dev plus a script
Anyone confirm this and have a link to what I need to root the update

Yeah but it uses the HTC unlock, so...

Root will always be available.
HTC gave us a root method
But the annoying thing is that HTC gave us a root method that wipes your phone first.
I'm still waiting for a new temp root exploit so that I can run Titanium Backup first before I do the dev unlock.
I wonder if anybody is actually working on one, or if everybody just takes it on faith that *somebody* must be.
I bet if the HTC method wasn't there, people would be trying harder to find one.

This tool works like a charm, and HTC has no idea you are rooted. I used it last night - took about 10 min. You pretty much download drivers and this app, and run the app. Very easy.

What's wrong with HTC Unlock?
I used HTC Unlock and it was a breeze. Given being a noob since this is my first HTC device i've tinkered with, it was quite painless
The only things wrong with it are that:
1. It wipes all your customizations so you have to start over from scratch, or from what some non-root backup app can restore which isn't much.
2. It doesn't give you S-Off, so you can't flash radio updates, but to me that's no big deal.
The biggest issue with HTC dev on the newest H-boot is that you cannot flash kernels normally through recovery
Never accept an OTA. S-Off is soooooo convenient

Pretty sure they still know. It still has to extreact info from the phone to get token to unlock phone. You just don't see it happening but the program is contacting HTC to unlock the phone.

It is incognito.
I thought TWRP / HTC Dumlock could now flash kernels with S-OFF:

Regaw uses minimal user information in the unlocking process.
With that said, you can never be sure HTC doesn't know you unlocked it. Frankly, Its not going to matter if they know or know when your boot loader says relocked.

With S-OFF you can flash anything you want. You dont need dumlock

Not through the normal channels with the new H-boot
Sorry, I meant to say S-ON.
(So are there abnormal channels for flashing a kernel then?)
Do I have this all wrong, or isn't it true that a ROM includes a kernel, and you can flash a ROM with S-ON, but not a kernel by itself?

The kernel in the ROM doesnt get flashed. When going from sense to sense it isnt an issue because its still the stock HTC kernel
If you try flashing cm10 without pushing the boot.img the phone wont boot because it has an AOSP ROM and sense kernel
Abnormal channels would be your fastboot flash, htc dumlock, or flashgui
What's the problem.with not being able to flash the kernal thur recovery? You can still push it via fastboot. It not so much of an inconvenience that you would want to not have root and do tons of cool **** to your phone. Who cares if HTC knows you are unlocked? BFD!
Unlock your phone and enjoy it the way it was meant to be enjoyed except flashing radios and kernal via recovery.
