I was under the impression that you needed to be S-OFFed in order to be rooted
What I did:
Downloaded [SUPER-TOOL] Team PWN Stars' HTC One Max Super-Tool v1.2 FOR ALL HTC ONE MAX VARIANTS
Followed the tool's guide:
Code:
1- Unlock your bootloader
-this allows us to make modifications to the device
2- Use the RumRunner tool to gain S-OFF (in the S-OFF Tools Menu) I DID NOT CREATE THIS> All that the kit does is download it for you.
-this will be used later to make your device appear Stock
3- Install a Custom Recovery
-this allows us to "flash" files. It will be used to gain Root access
4- Root your Device
-this installs the package that grants you Root permissions.
OPTIONAL-
5- Lock your bootloader
-this will make your device appear stock for warranties and crap
Successfully unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev (at this point bootloader shows **UNLOCKED**)
Tried S-OFFing via rumrunner. This failed since my hboot is v2.49
Tried S-OFFing again following this guide: [FAQ] How to S-OFF @ hboot 2.49.000
After flashing both recovery and boot.img, i tried to do the next step "Factory reset the device"
Here the bootloader now shows **TAMPERED** above **UNLOCKED**
And selecting "Factory reset device" would boot me into recovery mode
I then formatted /cache, /data and then rebooted the phone
After the HTC One screen, the screen turns cyan then magenta while playing the 'boot-up' sound. It then stays in the HTC One screen
Thought that it was my ROM (it was stock 3.15, I believe. It was the one with the 'customizable fonts' update). I flashed a new one (odex): [ROM][International] Stock ROM Sense 6 | Kitkat 4.4.2 | 3.15.1540.1 | Rooted
Now it boots past the HTC One screen, and I'm greeted with the lockscreen. Unlocking it will show the HTC One screen again (and sometimes shows "htc.dialer has stopped working") and then restarts (I can swipe down to show the notifications bar but I can't pull it down)
If I don't unlock it, it would reboot after a while
Is there a way to more or less "revert" back to stock? Or at least have my phone properly boot?
I suspect its because I flashed in the boot.img? If this is the case, is there a "stock boot.img" i can use to fix it?
I just want a rooted stock :crying:

N.B. I think this device is China Mobile (or other operator) branded because it’s visible this logo when booting…
/media/DIKOM/Thread su Desire v T328t
I’ve got unlocked bootloader and I rooted the device with superuser and superuser pro (a china crack has changed the boot.img and now wi-fi and Bluetooth don’t work, but these are the last problems…). I installed CWM Recovery 5.0.2.0 from bootloader with the command:
fastboot flash recovery CWM_Recovery.img
and all was ok. Now when I charge the device (only when it’s OFF) and when I go in bootloader and I push on recovery (to flash another ROM) the screen show this message:
This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC’S written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action.
Now I have already tried:
1) Flash a cooked ROM, but I can’t enter in recovery;
2) Flash boot.img file with another .img but the message show on the screen when booting and I must remove battery to reboot;
3) Make a gold card with “Gold Card img Helper” tool (very thanks to Gene Poole and the other developments), but gold card don’t work or I can’t how use it… ;-( I’ve got two CID: one in MMC0 and 2nd in MMC2; I tried both but they generate always a not working gold card.
Where am I wrong? Can someone help me please? Very thanks to all!!! Hi…
chinese? have tried using tools on gfan or other smartphone forum in china for a universe unlock?
---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------
i have thought about a problem that you must have used htc official unlock tool and successfully flashed the recovery.
htc official unlock doesn't turn s-on to s-off but shows "unlocked",
and any flash in recovery will not flash the boot because of this "s-on".
you may flash boot.img via fastboot tool, for command-line input "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and you will sucessfully got boot flashed.

I'm not Chinese, I'm Italian and I found the device on the street... However I don't know nothing of forums in china; I unlocked bootloader with Htc official unlock using desire model. Have you got any idea what boot.img I must flash? I tried boot.img of bravo ROM but I can't reboot the mobile and I can't go in recovery too. Thanks for your help
Figured I'd ask the XDA community before I give up. I was working on an HTC Rezound that a kid had water damage on. Finally got it running but with the weirdest issues I've seen. I've tried alot, can't remember everything off the top of my head but I wanted to double check with you guys before I give up tomorrow.
First off Its HTCDev unlocked, S-ON with HBOOT 2.28. There is no ROM or OS on it, nor will it boot to any Recovery I successfully flash over. I can send and receive commands on fastboot, and sometimes can send them when I select REBOOT RECOVERY. That leads me to a black screen but adb devices shows it under recovery.
Tried flashing TWRP, using the All In One tool, flashing a Custom ROM, the RUU zip and exe, and Amon-Ra recovery. All leads to the same thing basically, loads into HBOOT fine but never boots into any recovery. I get signature verify failed sometimes when flashing but honestly it sends and successfully writes a recovery.img but wont load into it. Is it brain dead somewhere or what?
Thanks guys! I'll post the getvar

DO THIS ADVICE ONLY IF NOBODY ELSE HAS BETTER IDEA..
Flash the latest ruu thru bootloader boot into recovery image while on stock to see if it works if it does then unlock hboot then flash recovery if it doesn't well we will have to dig a lil deeper
Sent from my Infected Rezound using xda app-developers app
Put the recovery.img file from the latest TWRP into your adb directory, then issue:
fastboot boot recovery.img (Note the BOOT command, not flash!)
and see if that gets you to TWRP, if not, you are probably in trouble... if it does, wipe everything except boot and flash in a known stable ROM image like Global OTA Stock/Rooted, Infection, Beanstalk, or something like that.
Your fastboot getvar looks fine, except battery voltage is really low (should be around 3.9-4.2) and the version-main is messed up, meaning it doesn't see a ROM installed.

I tried this first because it was the only thing I haven't done, and I got nothing. It boots into a recovery I think because it shows up under adb devices but still get a black screen. I think the phone is toast.
NINJA EDIT: The menu and home buttons vibrate when I hit them, so it must be booted into recovery, just for some reason nothing is displayed.
After unsuccessfully trying to manually update to 4.4.2 I have semi-bricked my phone.
Bootloader menu currently has Tampered, Relocked, Security Warning and S-On. I accidentally wiped data while in recovery while attempting to flash something. I had flashed (I believe) a modified stock kernel for 4.4 (or 4.3, not sure). Edit: Hboot 1.55
-Because it's not S-Off, I can't run an RUU.exe and downgrade.
-I can't seem to enter recovery either. It says "entering recovery" and then goes back to the bootloader screen. When I try to flash a new recovery, I get a "remote: signature verify fail" error. Any sort of recovery.img file gets this same error. I've tried installing a different recovery and the same error shows up.
-I've tried using revone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582 except I it says "error: device not found" when I try to initiate it.
Is it possible to find a 4.3/4.4.2 RUU zip/exe and try to flash/run a current/higher version firmware? If anybody could also post a link to the stock 4.3 kernel it would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I need the phone for use very soon. Something tells me I did revone wrong. Any options I have? Isn't there a desktop program that lets you restore your HTC back to factory stock?

If you are attempting to get s-off revone will not work on you... You should try rumrunner instead

I've tried. Except rumrunner needs you to be able to boot into Android first. I accidentally wiped data while in recovery (ROM, etc) and now I only have fastboot. I can't even access recovery/flash a new recovery/flash anything at all really. I can get into the silver HTC logo with "fastboot oem rebootRUU" but that's about it. Anything I attempt to flash while doing that will get a signature verification fail.
Update: I unlocked the bootloader again and can now enter recovery. The issue is, it appears that I have no "SD card". I can't access or even mount it to computer so I can put a ROM inside when I select "choose zip from /sdcard.
Hi , please help I've flashed Philz recovery , installed superSU.zip everything seemed to be allright but when I tried to install custom ROM install didn't report any error but since then I'm stucked on hboot and can only switch to recovery no way to boot the system. I've been looking for RUU but couldn't find correct version.The one at androidruu says not correct version.
Recovery now keep saying missing root access , I tryied upload different ROM but same result .
Now when I run adb commands : device not found
My phone is HTC Zara_UL (gsm)
os 2.14.401.6
Thanks for any advice
If you unlocked via htcdev.com then you need to make sure to fastboot flash the boot.img from the rom zip you are trying to install. The only way to flash roms completely from recovery without that step is to S-Off.

Sounds like you probably picked a rom for another version of your phone then. You might need to use the RUU to get back to normal and restart.

In fastboot, you will need to run this command:
fastboot getvar all
This output will have all the info on your phone and will be a good place to start with figuring out which RUU you need. You also have to relock the bootloader to run the RUUs, as many people skip over that and wonder why the RUU doesn't work. You can not downgrade without S-Off, so can only install the same version or higher and has to be from the same region/carrier unless you do the SuperCID mod as well.
es0tericcha0s: Thank you for your reply , I always do relock when trying RUU but still getting no compatible version error.
This is output of getvar all

I get stock rom for my version of zara but recovery throws error 'cannot open rom.zip' . I also tried restore from backup of same version but it failed at flashing the system .
Anyone can please help ?
Whole rundown of the situation:
Wanted to be able to root my phone, do some research, mainly with http://androidforums.com/threads/ro...ecovery-guide-for-htc-desire-601-zara.817068/ and the one-click-root
Attempted one-click-root first as I did not want to mess with my phone too much, ended up not working.
Try to manually root my phone, unlocked the bootloader, installed SuperSU.zip via the guide above
Check to see if I have root access, did not; attempted to do a full restart where I factory reset everything after another backup
Phone starts hanging on the HTC logo screen
Do some more research and eventually get to this soft-brick solution guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55850035&postcount=23
Followed the steps and am now currently booting into the fastboot screen permanently; even when attempting to power down, phone keeps booting back up.
Did some more research and found a semi-related question pertaining to this question with no definitive solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/phone-booting-fastboot-mode-t2949325
Some info on the phone itself:

Do you have custom recovery? If yes, can you boot into recovery via the hboot screen? If not, I would suggest you to flash KK recovery via fastboot, this one, and see if you can reboot into it.
I have TWRP 2.7.0.0 currently as my custom recovery, and I can boot into recovery from the hboot menu, but still keep rebooting. I'll try out the kitkat version.
Edit: Tried out the kitkat version, all seemed well before reboot, no errors/missing files mentioned, rebooted and the phone still keeps only booting into fastboot. Double checked, tried to boot normally, just hangs at the HTC logo screen now.

In TWRP go to Wipe and select System, Data, Cache and Dalvik cache and wipe them. Then download this stock rom zip, then copy it to your SD and flash it.
