Hey Guys,
Dug out my two old Droid DNAs today to sell them both. One has the unlocked bootloader, the other (my wife's old phone) does not. She took the OTA update when it went out way back when.
Been scouring the forums every where trying to find a way to unlock the bootloader to up the phone's value a little. Has anyone found a way to do this after the software update?
If there isn't a way to do it, does that make this phone pretty much un-changeable? Is it not possible to get root, add custom recovery, flash custom OS, etc?
Thanks!
bootloader
So no one have found a method so far to boot unlock after the OTA?:crying:

I couldn't find the RUU for the Verizon DNA, did you use something else that worked for this phone?
Here's how I got s-off and unlocked bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54892513&postcount=1 Just make sure you are s-on, or firewater won't do anything.
RUU can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612740, personally, I haven't been able to get the 3.06 RUU to work. Keeps erroring out. I used the alt method.
Just a side note: you may want to do a factory reset from HBOOT (from the stock HBOOT and stock recovery) before rooting or unlocking anything. Helps to keep the "no 4G" issue from happening.

Exactly!!
one concern about RUU.
I've had this phone since their launch, and i remember that throughout the updates, the battery life and everything in general had become much better; I do appreciate the KitKat system and the upgraded Sense.
My concern is, if I revert back to earlier RUU, will i suffer from those of the earlier Android versions? or, will the newer Sense or ROMs take care of it?

I know this will be a frustrating question for you;
For you to RUU, from my understanding, i have to get a rumrunner, but from what i read, it's used for software versions 3.XXXX. Mine is 4.XXX can i still use the rumrunner to RUU to the prev software versions?
Or, do i need to look for something newer to come out?

Hey XDA buddies!
A cousin of mine was having problems with his Droid Eris, so he gave it to me to try and fix. When I tried to turn it on normally, the light would go off, and then back on (red). Couldn't figure out why, but got it to do a data wipe via the menus. After that point it would turn on, but with the three androids on skateboards... but never goes past that.
My best guess is that he or someone tried to root it or something. I'm honestly not really sure. Regardless I'm trying to run the eris 2.36.605.1 RUU and it runs for awhile and then fails with a "wrong bootloader version" or something similar.
The version of HBOOT on the phone is 1.49.000 and S-ON. I know the RUU said the current image version on the phone is 2.4x.something
I'm currently trying to flash the PB00 root file via the RUU, but does anyone have any other suggestions that might be better to attempt?
Thanks in advance and happy holidays!
Edit:
My current plan of attack:
Flash the PB00IMG via RUU, gain S-OFF
fastboot flash amon recovery
try wiping /boot
try RUU?
Dang... that failed as well with a "wrong bootloader version".
Anyone have any suggestions? :-/
Is this the RUU you're trying to flash?

The 1.49 bootloader was a *****.
But I do recall someone finding a work-around.
Just can't remember since it was 2 years ago.
Did the unrevoked tool work for eris?

Hey guys,
So with the recent hboot downgrade option, it seems like it's finally time to root my virgin 3VO, but I need a little help at least with some big picture stuff.
I know that with the HTC unlock, the device is wiped. By doing the hboot downgrade that doesn't seem to be the case. Is it possible to downgrade hboot, get s-off, unlock and then do a nandroid backup of my current phone setup?
In the downgrade instructions, you are supposed to run revolutionary in the final steps, but I'm fuzzy on what this tool does versus some of the other tools like TWRP2 (htcdumblock?) or HTCSupertoolv3. Could somebody give me a quick rundown on these, and if I will need them?
In the hboot downgrade video I watched, the device has a 2.08 RUU on it, while I have the latest OTA 2.17. Will that cause any issues? I've downloaded both the hbootdowngrade toolkit, as well as RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed.exe
I should probably mention my intentions too... I'd like to get a stock backup to revert to (my current config if possible), then try out some ROMs (maybe MeanROM to start) and chad's latest 2.17 kernel.
MUCH appreciated!

Okay, so despite being stuck in a boot loop, apparently the tacoroot temp root was successful. I was able to push the other commands to get mainver: 1.10.651.2
My problem is, that because it wont actually boot, I can't back up my apps with Titanium. Do I have any other options?

I haven't gone thru this whole downgrade process, I've only done step 3 in order to unbrick my phone from something unrelated, but I know enough to tell you that you're already past the point that you can backup your apps/ROM. You need to keep going thru the instructions for downgrading your hboot til you're completely done and your phone's booted up. If you decided to check the box when you first set your phone up for "keeping this device backed up with Google" (paraphrasing here), then once you set up ANY sense ROM, as long as you have that option enabled as you go thru the setup process, once you click on play store/market, your phone will automatically start downloading all the apps you previously had on your phone.

I'll try to answer some of your questions, but I'm no pro.
I made a backup right before I downgraded so I didn't lose any info, but it sounds like you're past that point.
Revolutionary will get you "s-off", its the only thing that will give you that, that's the point of downgrading. Dumlock is for hboot 1.5 users. Once you downgrade, you won't need it.
2.17 will be fine, that's what I was on.
At the point you're at, either you can turn back now and run the 2.08, 2.17 ruu.exe from hboot, or if you're not scared, then its time for you to brick.
I suggest getting all your terminals to the "waiting for device" state before you brick. Just so you know that won't be an issue because once you brick there's no turning back.

I have a rooted and S-on Evo. The RUU keeps failing, even after I unrooted via the Superuser app.
Keep getting “ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR” and then it says it can not update the phone.
And then “Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again.”
I am definitely using the correct RUU version. 1.22.651.3.
Also I have tried two different computers and two different USB cables.
Does anyone know how to get this thing working?
if you updated to the latest OTA update; that usually updates your radios and your Hboot which means the old RUU won't work because it has an OLDER HBoot and radios. Your gonna have to wait till the new OTA becomes available as an RUU to be able to go back to stock.
if you didn't take the OTA 2.13 and you are still on 1.22 then try putting your phone on Fastboot and try it that way.
Edit: Ok so it looks like the latest RUU has been uploaded. Look here http://www.filefactory.com/f/b6eb73c80cc97030/
Thanks, I will try fastboot.
However, as I said in the OP, I am on the same version (1.22.651.3) as the RUU I am using...

I ran into the same error 155 issue.
I found the solution and it's quite simple. In the instructions to unroot, they forget to mention that you MUST relock your bootloader (instructions below). Once you relock it, then you can run the RUU for 1.22.651.3.....after that, take the stock OTA update.

Is there another site with the new ruu?
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
running "fastboot oem lock" yields "waiting for device," and this stays on the screen forever. It doesn't work...
OK, finally got it to lock. Now, trying to see if I can get that RUU to work...it seems to be working. I think the issue was that I was not properly in fastboot mode.
So my plan is this:
RUU
OTA (to get the latest kernel and such)
Root/Unlock
MeanROM

I would highly suggest NOT taking the OTA...
The reason they now have a new h-boot is because there was a vulnerability in the old one.
Simply flash a new ROM based on the lastest OTA.

That's not always true, and almost all new major releases come with a new hboot. In fact I can't remember any updates on my 0g evo, evo 3d, and evo LTE, that didn't come with a new hboot. The fact of the matter is, people that are s-on and hboot 1.15 won't be able to upgrade their radios and firmware unless they take the ota or run the ruu. This update makes the phone fly and is worth it.
On the other post, regaw mod does work with unlocking and installing twrp, you will have to install a rooted rom afterwards though because regaw mod fails at the rooting step.

Sweet this is actually the point where I'm at. HTC Dev unlocked, s-on, hboot 1.15 and rocking twrp. I've been trying to parse through all of the numerous posts on a method to go ahead and install the ota updates. I actually believe I'm 2 down as I haven't updated ever and I got the phone @ launch. I recall reading somewhere that just going back to the stock recovery is a viable option if I want to go w/ the ota updates. I don't really have any interest in different ROMs (I scratch that itch w/ my evo 3d).
tl;dr Whats the least painful way to install the OTA updates post HTC Dev unlock, s-on, twrp recovery, and hboot 1.15?
Hey guys, so I've been reading through the forums for a week and I have never rooted, so please forgive me if I am missing something.
I recently picked up a Verizon HTC One Max and thought why don't I give rooting a shot. I did some research (not enough apparently) and was attempting to use Rumrunner. After that wouldn't work I attempted to do the CyanogenMod easy root (sorry if I have that wrong) and that did not work as well, I eventually stumbled upon having to get on to HTC Dev, so I i attempted to unlock my Boot Loader, and found that you are unable to do that Via HTC Dev.
So my question to you seasoned vets, is can anyone point me to a step by step how to for first timers on Verizon running HBOOT 2.49 and are on 4.4.2. Like I said I know I am really new, and still not sure how to go about flashing a new ROM once rooted, but I will get there in time. Thanks to any help in advance guys.
Check out this link. I think this would work for you.
http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
I'm not really experienced, might want to wait for one of the pro's to confirm before you try.... I except no responsibility. lol
Still having some issues. Tried running rumrunner again and it'll get to "packing bottles" and than error out with unexpected behavior.
Tried doing the weak sauce/Forrester method and supersu will error out.
Any other ideas?
Have you unlocked your bootloader with HTC dev? If not try firewater. temp root and then s-off and it will unlock your bootloader at the same time then you can go about flashing custom recovery and then try custom ROMs. That's the way I went but I'm on international build
---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------
Or look on firewater website at the weaksauce s-off option and try again.

Yeah sure but I'm in UK so getting late here drop me a pm and I'll get back to you. Your best option is after work trying firewater. Have you ever rooted/unlocked/s-offed a phone before..? Do you know how to use adb and fastboot?
FINALLY!
Bootloader is Unlocked.
And I am S-OFF
Had some troubles with getting weak sauce to cooperate, finally just installed it on the phone itself and ran it. Than pushed firewater and worked with it in ADB.
On to the next project. Big thanks to nathlynn22, tip my hat to you boss.

Oh actually just noticed your on Verizon should you could use same as op and find firewater s-off in HTC one max General and use the weaksauce firewater method to temp root s-off and unlock boot loader. Then you need to flash corresponding custom recovery so cwm or twrp cm ready or twrp depending on roms you want to flash. After you flashed custom revovery you can root when you reboot from that then take a nandroid backup of stock Rom and then flash custom mods etc.
Hi, guys. I wanted to get Harman/Kardon. So I had to get S-Off. I unlocked Bootloader HTC then I rooted my HTC., but I was stuck at getting S-Off. You see I have a T-Mobile version of HTC One M8 so there's no way to get S-Off and Harman/Kardon too. And now I wanna return it to default settings. I mean I wanna lock Bootloader HTC and unroot it, like it was in it's first day. Is it possible?

Why do you think that? Unless you updated to the Android 4.4.4 software (HTC 3.xx), Sunshine S-off should still work. Its true that firewater doesn't work for most folks anymore, as it was patched some time ago.
Also, if you have the T-Mobile variant, why are you posting in this section? This is AT&T.
Yep, I was updated to Android 4.4.4. Today I've tried SunShine and it brought me to the pay screen. So it reads that it's possible to get S-Off. Tomorrow I'll try to do that. Sorry for the wrong section... And one more question:
Will soft resetting bring me to S-On if I get S-Off?

"Soft reset" is just a reboot. You might mean hard reset, or a factory reset.
But in all cases, no they will not make the device s-on. Once its s-off, the only way for it to be made s-on again if for you to change it back manually and intentionally. Even an updated hboot, OTA, etc. will not make it s-on again.

Ok, good.
The decision to unlock the bootloader, mod the phone and especially s-off should not be taken lightly. If you have already made that decision to mod the phone, no reason to go back, if you ask me.
Stated another way, once you've chosen to go to the dark side, why go back.
I got it. SunShine works on Android 4.4.4, software 3.32.531.2. (HTC ONE M8 T-Moible)
