After trying a lot of getting root of my phone Htc desire U. I have found a simple method of rooting 100%.
Please remember S-OFF is required for complete rooting in HTC. or else you will end up in fu*king with your own time.
* I am not responsible for any brick of your phone please!!:angel:
* requires CWM 6.0.3.3 (google for it) and Unlocked bootloader in your phone.
Step 1: Download boot.img attached and flash with fastboot from PC.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Step 2: Run rumrunner_proto_0.7.1(google for it) for HTC desire V( works on Desire U also) for S-OFF. (its a bit time consuming.)
Step 3: Flash superuser_3.2rc2_busybox.sip(google for it).
Step 4: reboot
your are done.
The boot.img file also will work for wifi/bluetooth problems on both models as i have seen.
warning : Using s-off method you will get vibrations on boot !

I need img file for htc desire u dual sim. please help me. thank you in advance
Hi,
First of all, I apologize for bumping such an old thread, however I think it is important to do so; I'll explain why.
How to properly get S-OFF on your HTC Desire U (dual sim) (T327w):
Unlock the bootloader of your HTC Desire U (dual sim).
Flash the recovery (CWM v5.8.3.1) to your phone (download).
PERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR PHONE USING THE ABOVE INSTALLED RECOVERY.
This is extremely important, because if something goes wrong later (which it will, YES, confirmed, your phone WILL BECOME UNUSABLE after this method, IF YOU DO NOT TAKE A FULL NANDROID BACKUP BEFOREHAND!
(Read more about why this happens at the end of this post.)

Install SuperSU to get root access.
Get ADB and Fastboot for Ubuntu/Linux using:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Then, download the "boot.img" attached to the first post of this thread and flash it to your phone, using:
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img

I used the RumRunner (rumrunner_proto_0.7.1), linux version: (http://rumrunner.us/rumrunner_downloads/rumrunner_proto_0.7.1.tgz), using Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop x86 (32 bit), which is properly installed and NOT a live CD to do this. Don't bother to do this in Windows, its much less of a hassle the way I did it, no need to bother with installing HTC drivers and stuff.
Download the above linked RumRunner (.tgz) to (./Downloads) and extract it. Follow the instructions at http://rumrunner.us/instructions/ religiously!
If you did everything properly and in the EXACT way described here, you will get S-OFF on your HTC Desire U (dual sim), surely. I can confirm this specific method to be working, personally.
Problem:
However, it's not over yet. Once you get S-OFF and boot back into your phone, you will find that Wifi, Bluetooth and even the network (both sims) WILL STOP WORKING. Both of your sim slots will not detect any SIM in either slot and if you try to switch the "Aeroplane Mode" ON, it will become bugged and forever stuck in that state.
This can be fixed in the step mentioned below, so you will be FINE if you had taken a Nandroid backup before doing this, as I had warned. If you are reading this after messing up and you have no backup, don't worry, I'll try to help you people as well.
Note: Using this procedure, as mentioned several times before, you will have a bug PERMANENTLY, which cannot be fixed, wherein, whenever you start the device thereafter, the device will vibrate 7 (seven) times. There are no other repercussions or ill-effects, apart from this.
The Solution:
Either you can try to flash this "boot.img" (download), which would overwrite the one we had flashed earlier. Try to boot your phone and see if the issue is fixed. You should check whether the Wifi, Bluetooth and both the Sim slots are working properly. If not, you should go to the recovery and do a "wipe/full reset" and reboot the phone normally, afterwards. Then, check again.
If that doesn't seem to work for some reason, simply restore the Nandroid backup that I asked you to create, before going through with this. This will SURELY solve the problem for you.
Congratulations, now you have your HTC Desire U (dual sim), S-OFF, rooted and working properly, apart from that minor 7-vibration bug on startup. :good:

First of all, as you said, you're not rooted, with S-On and on a locked bootloader, so that's pretty much an unaltered state of your phone, why would you even want to "flash stock ROM" in the first place? Please clarify and explain in greater detail to avoid any confusing situations which could lead up to undesirable situations at a later stage.

Unfortunately, no, there are NO (yes, ZERO) custom roms for this phone. Since this was a low end device and also because its a dual sim phone (?), there was a sheer lack of development for this phone. The maximum I can help you with is to attain ROOT + unlocked bootloader + S-OFF for proper, full root access. That's it. Apart from that, there's not much you can do with this phone.

Allow me to explain again ... Since you have a locked bootloader + non-rooted + S-On device, you cannot modify anything related to your phone (in its current state). So keeping that point in mind, you are already on stock (since nothing CAN be modified in the state you are, for this phone, and thus nothing has been changed). So that means that you are already on the stock ROM and you don't need to do anything else such as "flashing stock ROM", since you ALREADY have the stock ROM on your phone.
As far as your query about signal issues is concerned, well no, I don't face that issue with my device and neither is there any issue with the battery.
Below, I'm sharing some details of my device, maybe you could compare those with yours and see if that helps:
Phone Name: HTC Desire U dual sim
Android Version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense Version: 4.0

Absolutely not. The software version you indicated that you wish to update to, is mentioned as being related to:
HTC One X 5.18.502.15
which is definitely not going to be compatible with the HTC Desire U, a fact which is made more evident once both the phones are compared to each other. Even if you assume that "it would fine and compatible", I can tell you one striking difference which guarantees that it will not. For example, if you notice, The HTC One X has just one sim slot, while the HTC Desire U has two.
This "RUU" that you have downloaded is most certainly not compatible with the phone we're discussing in here and I recommend AGAINST attempting to flash that software update. In any case, from what I've heard, you won't be able to flash an incompatible RUU in the first place, since it first checks whether you're applying it to a compatible handset or not. I guess that explains why the "RUU quits on you abruptly" as you described.
Hope that clears all of your doubts, conclusively.

Ohh!that's the thing.
The Internet websites fooled me,I downloaded the RUU of desire U according to that website.I was thinking that the RUU of desire u is named something like 'primods mini'.
I know that flashing incompatible rom can even hardbrick the device.Thanks for help.
but RUU should open because I didnot connected the device.
Suppose if I had htc oneX and it quits at that time also even I didn't connected the phone to the pc.

Hi,
First of all, I apologize for bumping such an old thread, however I think it is important to do so; I'll explain why.
How to properly get S-OFF on your HTC Desire U (dual sim) (T327w):
Unlock the bootloader of your HTC Desire U (dual sim).
Flash the recovery (CWM v5.8.3.1) to your phone (download).
Install SuperSU to get root access.
Get ADB and Fastboot for Ubuntu/Linux using:
Then, download the "boot.img" attached to the first post of this thread and flash it to your phone, using:
I used the RumRunner (rumrunner_proto_0.7.1), linux version: (http://rumrunner.us/rumrunner_downloads/rumrunner_proto_0.7.1.tgz), using Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop x86 (32 bit), which is properly installed and NOT a live CD to do this. Don't bother to do this in Windows, its much less of a hassle the way I did it, no need to bother with installing HTC drivers and stuff.
Download the above linked RumRunner (.tgz) to (./Downloads) and extract it. Follow the instructions at http://rumrunner.us/instructions/ religiously!
If you did everything properly and in the EXACT way described here, you will get S-OFF on your HTC Desire U (dual sim), surely. I can confirm this specific method to be working, personally.
Problem:
However, it's not over yet. Once you get S-OFF and boot back into your phone, you will find that Wifi, Bluetooth and even the network (both sims) WILL STOP WORKING. Both of your sim slots will not detect any SIM in either slot and if you try to switch the "Aeroplane Mode" ON, it will become bugged and forever stuck in that state.
This can be fixed in the step mentioned below, so you will be FINE if you had taken a Nandroid backup before doing this, as I had warned. If you are reading this after messing up and you have no backup, don't worry, I'll try to help you people as well.

You should check whether the Wifi, Bluetooth and both the Sim slots are working properly. If not, you should go to the recovery and do a "wipe/full reset" and reboot the phone normally, afterwards. Then, check again.
If that doesn't seem to work for some reason, simply restore the Nandroid backup that I asked you to create, before going through with this. This will SURELY solve the problem for you.
Congratulations, now you have your HTC Desire U (dual sim), S-OFF, rooted and working properly, apart from that minor 7-vibration bug on startup. :good:

a week ago i bought an evo 3d and tried to do all the things i do as soon as i get an android powered device: recovery, root, flashing roms
i succesfully installed the recovery and immediately (without rebooting) installed a new rom.
I know i made a mistake because the device was branded vodafone (CID:VODAP405) that means wifi not working, USB cable not working properly and some other issues... i spent the next 11 hours trying to restore, downgrade, relock, i tried the "goldcard" thing, i tried the "PG86IM.zip" thing, i followed the instructions that i found everywere as i always do but sadly with no positive results.
I managed somehow to make an arrangement with my seller and soon he will give me another new evo 3D (100% VODAP405).
NOW... will I damage the phone if i install the recovery and the root without (obviously) flashing any rom or is better for me to wait for a procedure that will successfully S-off and unbrand for my phone ? does it exist already and i suck at searching ?
sorry for the long post but y'know I don't want any more trouble .
Thanx in advance for the help.

There should be a ton of guides for this device regarding the HTC unlockable bootloader, as it was released back in August 2011, which is a long time in Android years!
Either way, the only issue which I was able to pick out of your post that appears to be common is WiFi not working. I've posted quite a detailed explanation around this issue with some possible resolutions. I'm quoting it below as I think it will help you gain a better understanding of how the HTC unlock process works and how it differs with "S-OFF".
Otherwise, the RUU and PG86IMG.zip files should be mostly the same as a device with "S-OFF".
Hope that helps reassure you the issues shouldn't be very serious, only minor inconveniences, which if enough ppl protested to HTC, might be changed.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions or something isn't clear!
WiFi error:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326892
The WiFi error is caused by a mismatch between the WiFi module and the currently loaded kernel. The WiFi module is stored in /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko . The kernel is stored in the boot partition.
When booted into the custom recovery through the traditional methods, reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc., HTC unlock method does not unlock *kernel* write access but does unlock *system* write access.
The result is the kernel module for WiFi is loaded but the kernel itself is not loaded. This creates a mismatch between a WiFi module loaded from the ROM and the matching kernel not being loaded as HTC does not allow it to be loaded from the traditional recovery boot method.
The main issue around kernel write access is due to the HTC unlock method only allowing kernel write access in two modes:
1) Booted in normal Android mode. My application, Flash Image GUI, will flash any kernel .zip file with the HTC unlock method because it runs in normal android mode. HTC unlocks write access to the boot partition, where the kernel is stored, in normal Android mode. Flash Image GUI also properly loads the respective WiFi modules essentially eliminating this WiFi mismatch error.
2) Fastboot booted into the custom recovery using the following command: fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img. HTC unlock method allows kernel write access while using fastboot boot of a custom recovery.
Hope that helps!
Edit: If you're curious and want to do some reading on previous WiFi error issues with the EVO 3D on this Q&A board where I replied, here are some similar posts:

I am so sorry for the redundant question, you probably said that a million times but ididn't manage to find any of that a week ago. it probably would have been a day saver for me...
anyway thank you for you answer but i still have a couple of questions.
1.My HBOOT was (and will be) 1.49.0012 and i read in your "Flash Image GUI" post that the procedure is for 1.5... will it work on my phone ? (I have the strange feeling this is a very very stupid question though)
2.the procedure I'm going to follow is: htc unlock -> install custom recovery -> install su.zip -> download custom rom (and kernel if not already in the rom) -> install image_flash -> flash kernel with image_flash -> reboot recovery -> install the rom Is that right ??
(maybe stupider question)
3.as far as i understood, at this point i will have a fully functional custom rom but i will not have S-Off Am I right ? (that's what image_flash is for if i got it right)
again sorry for the stupid questions but i've been using lg devices for over a year and i forgot almost everything about htc.
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I tested the procedure and it works, only 1 thing different: i had to flash the kernel after the rom, otherwise didn't work... everything is ok now thank you joeykrim.
Hello friends,
This is my first ever post on xda, I've been rooting and flashing for about 2 years now, and xda has always been spot on when it came to finding solutions, anyhow I have stumbled upon a problem for which I am unable to find a solution for, this message is a distress call, kindly help me out.
I was using a rooted hox+ for a couple of months now with a 4.2 pure rom without any issues, I felt like checking out the cm10.1 by lloir , so I downloaded all the necessary files and stuffed in into my phone. I cleared up my dalvik caches and made a full wipe (factory reset ), then I flashed the rom ( CM10.1 by lloir) and the gapps bundled with it, and then the appropriate kernel (mentioned in the rom thread, I made sure It was the very same ). every thing went on perfect untill i the rom got booted, after which i wasnt able to use any of my gapps nor download anything frm the browser, Now I am aware that this is because of the change from 4.1 to 4.2 where the default folder is changed due to multi user thing. Ive read and searched the threads for any possible solution, I stumbled upon a similar situation by a xda member "member" on the CM10.1 thread, he had the same problem that i was facing which he got through, but he got through it by accident which is why I am unable to track his steps for a solution. Now the situation is such that I have and erased sd card with no data at all, the only thing that is fine is that the ROM and the recovery are in a working condition. Im unable to sideload anyother roms or any of that stuff.
Due to the fact that this is my first post I cant directly post anything on the CM10.1 thread which is why im trying this indirect method, any senior member who can help me out here or any moderator who can get me through to the CM10.1 thread, I would appriciate that a lot. I really need my phone back with working google apps and a proper file structure compatible with 4.2, I was wondering if i could manually create a folder wich may accomplish that but I wouldn't know how to, any light on that would also be of help apart from any other solution.

First did you try clearing Cache and Data for GAPPS in setings>apps?
Do you have CWM or TWRP installed? Have you tried sideloading another Rom through recovery?
Well, your sdcard is wiped so i take it all your important files were backed up. Easiest solution would be re-lock the bootloader and use the RUU for your device. Then unlock bootloader and re-root. Not optimal i know, but it will work.

Firstly thankyou for a quick response,
Yes, I did clear the cache.
I use CWM recovery, I tried sideloading through it, all the drivers are installed properly, but I'm unsure as to why the sideloading through the One X+ toolkit doesn;t function, anyhow as advised above I shall defenitely try re-locking the bootloader, but as far as the RUU is concerned I wouldn't know which one is for my device, If you could help me locate it and mention a few steps regarding its implemention, I'd be grateful. Im using the international version of the HTC OneX+.

use the app available on the playstore or here called CID Getter. Then use the cid to find out which RUU you need and download RUU from here.

Your device is not endeavour, but endeavor C2. it is shown as ENRC2B though
the problem is i can't pinpoint your device. just no way for me to tell which version you need. if you look at this link,you will see that there are many options for international version of HOX+. I have the ATT version.
One of those RUUs is for your device. You might want to take a look and see if something looks like it would work for you.
using ADB to get CID
1. boot into bootloader (volume down + power button) or connect phone to pc via usb, in adb type : adb reboot-bootloader
2. you're now in bootloader
3. type fastboot getvar cid (in windows) or sudo fastboot getvar cid (in ubuntu/debian), you'll see cid:HTC_044 (my case)
Then look here to find out which version
k I got it... its HTC__J15
I've downloaded the firmware.zip but i can't get through to the dropbox link for the RUU variants in the above mentioned thread !!!
Edit : I got through to the RUU variants too, there are about nine of them.crossing out vodafone and o2 im left with 7. RU
edit 2 : okay, 3 RUU's with the numbers x.xx.415.x in the list. can anyone of them be used ?

yes but you may need to flash back stock recovery before you relock. Not sure if it will just flash recovery over CWM.

That's how you put a smile on a face. All thanx to u Jokah. Stock stuff up and running, ill be taking a few days to get rooting and flashing again to overcome the folder issue, what's in my is that I shall install the aokp 4.1 and then upgrade to aokp 4.2 which i've read automatically solves the folder issue. Shall put up everything here in case anyone else needs any help.
Once again .. thanx mate.

I'm just guessing this is a case of autocorrect, and you mean "custom ROM" and not "art room"?
How did the custom ROM get on your phone, did you buy it that way or did someone do it for you?
The update won't install with a custom ROM, its true (at least if any system files have been altered, which is usually the case). Also, it won't install with a custom recovery. Might even send you into a bootloop and render the phone unusable.
If you want to return to a stock condition and get the update, you can either read up and learn, or run the RUU to return to stock (bootloader must be locked or you need S-off). In either case, we can help you, but need specifics on how you want to approach it.

oh the lousy autocorrect got me.
I have no idea what im doing lol, im following a tut to install revolution hd rom and so far everything is working perfect lets see what happens after system reboot.
Can I unroot and relock bootloader after custom rom install done ?
Update: restoring old content phone seems faster with better signal, but before custom rom it had 4g signal now seems only 3g
Now that sucks boomsound enable/disbale in settings is gone!
So is extreme power saving gone from status bar
also 4g signal
Signal will not show 4g or 4glte like AT&T [email protected] [email protected]
You could relock and unroot,but then no reason to flash a custom rom.
Those two settings are in settings. And on the m8 443 euro builds some are reporting lesser [email protected]
There are AT&T ROM's available that are tailored to us AT&T/GSM networks

This is the exact reason I highly discourage following step-by-step tutorials; and/or using toolkits. You are modding the phone with apparently very little understanding of what you are actually doing. Not only is this very risky, as it might result in damage to you phone. But it also leaves you completely unequipped to handle any problems.
My suggestion is to spend a few hours reading the basic information that the folks here have taken the time to compile. This isn't "techie" stuff, this is the basic information and concepts that should be understood before doing any modding of the phone. Quite simply IMO if you don't understand the basics, you have no business rooting/modding the phone.

Again, you need to learn and research more before doing anything. This is another perfect example. Factory reset doesn't do anything to the ROM. All it does is wipe the user data partition, and isn't going to help your case in any way. And trying to make up your own solutions is not a good idea (but at least you thought to ask before trying it).
If the intent is to simply be on the latest 2.23 stock software, just run the RUU. You will need to relock the bootloader before RUU if you are s-on. Also, back up any personal data, as user data will be wiped by RUU.

Not enough info. What exactly does the error say?
S-on or S-off. Did you relock the bootloader?
Any response if you type (using adb):
adb devices
Improper HTC/ADB drivers or using Microsoft USB 3.0 drivers on USB 3 port on Windows 8.x instead of Intel USB drivers would be my first two guess. The ladder of the two issues would be most likely scenario if RUU communicates with device while booted into Android OS but fails to connect when the device is in fastboot/boot loader mode.

Hi Guys,
I have an HTC M8 International (Australia), and I was attempting to Root and S-Off my device to allow me to install the GPE Rom. Following a tutorial I found on XDA, I was able to root, and install the InsertCoin Rom, but it wouldn't allow me to run Firewater as my device is too new.
It also seems that because I am running InsertCoin, I cannot run SunShine as it doesn't recognise it as a stock ROM.
I realise I shouldn't have mucked around with it unless I knew exactly what I was doing, but I thought the tutorial would have held me in good stead.
Stupidity aside, can anyone help me get my M8 back to stock. As it stands, I now have no Wi-Fi, and charging is sporadical, needing to have permissions reset through TWRP every time I connect to USB.
I am running a Mac, and have TWRP installed on my device. Happy to provide any more information needed, I would just love someone to be able to help get my phone back into a working state!
Any way you can get a stock backup on your phone would be ideal. I know with the ATT variant I found a posted stock zip I had to extract and place in my TWRP backup folder.it can be as simple as that unless you made a stock backup than restore it and run Sunshine again
Below is a link to most all backups

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a recovery available for my version (2.23.841.1). If I download a copy of the stock rom from Android Revolution, would I be able to flash it through TWRP, or would it still require S-Off?

My mistake - it wasn't a stock ROM, only based upon one. Through a lot of playing around and flashing, I have managed to get a functioning device back up and running. I flashed with Android Revolution ROM, and that allowed me to install SunShine to gain S-Off. Also had to re-flash the firmware, as it knocked out my Wi-Fi. Following these steps was really helpful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
For now, it's running well. I used to have a Samsung S5, and I don't recall there being as many issues as this, but it's all a learning curve

Hey friends, I am very new to the rooting scene. I have a at&t htc m8 and i made the mistake of trying to root the fast and easy way. I followed a guide by a user names Unlocker. I would post the link but am unable to at this current time because i am new here
That has it's readers use hasoon2000's all in one toolkit. Well I think I screwed up in that process. when my phone was off and charging , the screen would briefly flash the TWRP ui with their lock screen. So naturally I freaked out tried my best to unroot the damn thing by following a guide created by the same guy after he got many complaints of issues
Naturally I had problems with this aswell. Now where i'm at, at this current moment is
**tampered** ***unlocked**
I successfully (i think) removed super su and did my best to get back to stock firmware. well I failed at that aswell. I still have TWRP on my phone and managed to get security turned back on.
What I am asking is for any references or maybe even some fresh help on how i can either get my phone back to stock firmware so i can take the OTA updates and be on my merry way or maybe reccomend a custom rom I can use that has the new lolipop software.
Now i was looking to update my TWRP but I am unable to locate an AT&T verison. I see sprint , verizon, and GSM. I feel pretty helpless right now but if i can get some instruction I know I will be able to figure this out.
I'm still really new to this also, but I'll try my best (just take everything I say w/ a grain of salt...):

Do you mean that you'd successfully done whatever you were doing and this was happening in normal use? AFAIK it is normal for the the screen to power off during long-running TWRP actions, and power button wakes it up.

Which firmware do you have on it now? Do you have ADB installed? If so, it might be helpful if you post the output of the command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
. If not, I think you'll need ADB and fastboot to help recover.

AT&T uses GSM. The GSM version should be correct. Depending on the firmware you have installed, specific versions of twrp may not work. In my case, twrp 2.8.4.0 wouldn't work on AT&T's stock 4.4.2 firmware, but would on the 4.4.4 firmware.
EDIT: Did you make a TWRP backup before attempting these changes? Depending on the state of your firmware, restoring that might be enough to fix things.
AT&T Stock 4.4.4 RUU
This should solve your problem, if you can achieve s-off again:

All the panic is for nothing. Its normal for the TWRP screen to appear for a brief moment when the device is powered off, and you connect the charger. At least on older versions of TWPR (and the version installed by Hasoon's toolkit is quite old).

Now i was looking to update my TWRP but I am unable to locate an AT&T verison. I see sprint , verizon, and GSM. I feel pretty helpless right now but if i can get some instruction I know I will be able to figure this out.

The TWRP version you want is the GSM. All versions of the M8 are essentially the same (and considered "GSM") except for the CDMA (Sprint & Verizon) and dual SIM variants.

Do you mean that you'd successfully done whatever you were doing and this was happening in normal use? AFAIK it is normal for the the screen to power off during long-running TWRP actions, and power button wakes it up.

What the OP is describing was a known bug, and happened when outside of recovery and while the phone was powered off (and while connecting the charger).
Wow thank you for fast responses!
So from my understanding I have a outdated TWRP version. I suppose I need to read up on how to update this and also how to flash a new rom. I only rooted my phone so I could pair up my ps3 controller to my phone so I can play games on it. I regret doing it now to be honest because I have modded my 3ds to play the same games i was using on my phone
I would love to be on the lolipop update that launched yesterday I believe. Should I stick to a rooted rom or just flash a stock version? Can anyone recommend a good lolipop root that has some tweaks for battery life and overall performance?

Just get the latest version of TWRP from their website. As you are asking what version (CDMA vs. GSM) it sounds like you are already getting there.
It sounds like you have the version of TWRP that was installed by the toolkit. That version is many months old. But its a minor bug, anyway. How often do you charge the phone with it powered off, anyway. I also don't think you can do anything in TWRP in this condition (if a security risk is your concern). The TWRP appears for a split second, and that's it.

Lollipop didn't launch for AT&T, its just a long-delayed 4.4.4 update for us. To update to 4.4.4, either return to stock ROM and stock recovery to get the OTA, or relock the bootloader and run the official RUU.
Lollipop (5.0) started to roll out for some Euro CIDs, and has been out for US Dev Edition for a while. But you can't get to Sense Lollipop unless you s-off (or until AT&T releases it).
