If anyone has any questions on how to s-off, root, and flash the Virtuous Unity 1.27.

Hey there, I flashed my IS into a sense 3.0 gingerbread 2.3 ROM. It took me 3 days LMAO
I know that when I was doing it I needed all the help I could get.
If anyone wants to know how I did it to help you on your way than reply.
I will be happy to help.
Please note that I only know how to do what "I" did. I am not an expert in any way..and only know how to help with getting the **Virtuous Unity 1.27.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid** onto your phone.
Happy Flashing!!! I am very happy with this ROM ... It is the best one out there taken from the official shipping release of HTC.

Ah, but how do you know it's the best one if it's the only one you've used?

Because it has many good reviews. It its the best one in terms of getting the sense 3.0 and gingerbread 2.3. Which is what the new HTC Sensation has. Also it is a shippping release which pretty much means that it is the real deal.

Ok, for reference, what did you do. Already S OFF and rooted. Does the new MOD have better battery performance?

I am on my way to work as of now and will copy and paste what I had done later. I am noticing right now that the battery is not the most optimal. But we will see. I flashed virtuous unity BTW. Sense 3.0 with 2.3 gingerbread

Waited for your guide..
very helpful

You need to S-OFF your phone (otherwise it wont work) This is the first step:
(1) GoHere...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XshvRmAcgm8 This is an awesome youtube video of how to S-OFF with AlpharevX
** After that you need to install the CWM recovery but first (instead of looking at alpharevX's difficult instruction) Do THIS:
(2) Go here(easy step)
** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XshvRmAcgm8
This will give you instructions on downloading a Flasher. What that does is flash certain things onto your device while its plugged in.
**Once you have downloaded that, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=14693680 (only download the recovery image for Incredible S)
It is the 3rd step I do believe.
When you are done downloading it. Go into the file and grab the file called recovery (image file) and drag it to your "downloads" folder.
**Open up Android Flash 1.8 and plug in your device. Click on Recovery on the left hand side. It will prompt you to a folder (it wants you to open the Recovery image file I told you to place in "downloads") Either way....find that file!!
Click on the file and Android flasher will do the rest.
Im pretty sure it boots your screen for you but if it doesnt
YOU NOW HAVE CLOCKWORKMODE RECOVERY
To see if you successfully downloaded it:
** Power down your phone
**Press and hold the DOWN volume and POWER button
**Move the volume up and down keys to select "RECOVERY" it is second down I do believe
**Press the POWER button to select "Recovery"
**You will now be prompted to a screen witch is CMW recovery.
After that go to the "reboot" option.
(3) To ROOT your phone(last step)
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=14693680
Just follow thier instructions. Its pretty easy!
After that you will want to download this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1104765 It works the best with the flashing ROMS. If you feel comfortable downloading this recovery first than it is up to you. Like I said I downloaded the clockworkmode recovery first so that I can get the phone rooted via AlphaRev's instructions. Any questions???

Are you running many apps, using auto sync and a live wallpaper? Really like what the stock ROM has to offer including the Sense, just want better battery performance which I suppose every smartphone owner wants in the end

So flashing the actual ROM wasn't a problem? I take it you don't have to S OFF the radio in order to flash a new radio with this ROM to get the best out of it?

No flashing the ROM isnt the problem. If you have to get a radio for the ROM than that is apparently the most trickiest part. Please do it with caution and read instructions carefully. You need to S-OFF to get a ROM...and I am pretty sure you need to ROOT to get a rom aswell. Sorry about the links..I have no idea why they are broken. I will try to find them.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104765 Go here after you S-OFFED and ROOTED. This is the best recovery to work with.

If you like the stock ROM then I suggest Android Revolution HD. It's built from the IS stock release but with bloatware removed, optimised for better battery life and more customisable. Virtuous Unity ROM gets you Sense 3.0, but that comes with higher power demands thanks to all the extra fancy graphics and such.
Oh, and for reference, you don't necessarily need radio S-OFF to flash a new radio, but you do need to do it carefully as you can brick your phone if you don't follow the correct process exactly.

Thanks. I have been undecided on weather or not to flash ARHD. When you say carefully, do you mean following the his flashing procedure step by step, or are you refering to flashing the radio? Obviously want to flash the radio to get the most out of the ROM.

Yeah I mean follow instructions carefully. What I used was ask. Its not too difficult but you have to read. Go and Google sdk. Download it, u are going to have to retrieve your drivers for ur phone. But just follow the instructions on downloading sdk etc... I will put up a link of where I got it from. You just have to follow instructions that's all..and yes the radio is needed if you are upgrading to gingerbread when flashing a new rom.

[Q] ICS Update for Nexus One

Hi,
My Nexus One details are as follows:
Model number : Nexus One
Android version : 2.3.4
Baseband version : 32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-ge0fb012
[email protected] #1
Build number : GRJ22
Which is the best way for me to update my phone to ICS (Android 4.0). I have read the official message from Google on categorizing Nexus One as "old" and will no more air the updates.
I am not familiar with the MODs and so; eventhough I scanned through the ROM section; I couldn't figure out myself which way should I opt to upgrade my phone.
Thanks to all for reading my request as it might be a thousandth time such a request is coming through. Thanks for your patience and your advise is eagerly awaited.
Jabir
PS: I have never done a "jailbreak" or "rooting" (whatever name is it) on my phone except those Google aired updates.

You are going to have to root--no way around it
I did it the old fashion way and installed sdk/fastboot oem unlock/flash recovery and a rom with super user in it or flash super user
instructions are in Wiki
there are different ways now I am not familiar with, but prefer the sdk method
you will also need to be on hboot 35.0017 to install blasckrose, although some ICS roms have a miniversion that can run on stock hboot
However, I would root and flash some roms like CM7 stable to get use to things. The hboot and ICS is a bit more complicated at first--read the threads carefully before attempting

0. Set up ADB correctly.
1. Root.
2. Optional: Unlock the bootloader
3. Optional: Set SecuFlag off, i.e. S-OFF
4. Fastboot flash a custom recovery
5. Fastboot flash blackrose's hboot. Either stock blackrose or the one specifically for ICS (custom partition layout)
6. Download an ICS ROM of your choosing. My pick would be texasice's.
7. Download an A2SD script as the default one is a li'l buggy.
8. Boot into the recovery of your choosing (4EXT or AmonRa preferred)
9. Make a FULL wipe of settings and partitions and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
10. Flash the ROM zip file
11. Flash the A2SD script file
12. Reboot and boot up your phone. Enter a terminal emulator. Type: su
13. Accept the root request and then type a2sd install,
14. Let your phone reboot on its own and then boot it up again,
15. Return to the terminal emulator, type su and then a2sd cachesd and let it reboot once more.
16. Now you're good to go.
Find out all info on your own, I simply tell you what you need to do.

If you are going to be using fastboot to flash a custom recovery, root is not needed and unlocking the bootloader is not Optional. Root is only needed if you are going to flash the recovery through Android with a program like ROM Manager. Also, S-Off also is something we can't officially get with our phones without using the XTC Clip. But for pretty much all things that we need to do with our phones, S-Off is not required due to it being a dev phone.

As a matter of fact, unlocking the bootloader is actually completely optional, and unless you are doing hardcore modding, completely unnecessary - not to mention that it is the definitive method to losing your warranty. Root, on the other hand, is completely reversible and virtually undetectable if you restore to a stock ROM if you ever need warranty service.
I only started modding recently (a month ago) and in that time, I've already moved to ICS and using a custom Blackrose HBOOT. Its fairly easy - you just have to have the ability to read patiently.
Here is what I would advise, being a bit of a noob myself - yet having never had a single hiccup. This is pretty much the fastest way to do it.
1. Enable USB debugging (in settings>applications>development)
2. Download SuperOneClick (Google it, also has USB drivers if necessary)
3. Connect your phone to the computer, and once all drivers are installed, fire up SuperOneClick, hit 'Root' and watch the magic unfold
4. Download ROM Manager from the Market, follow the instructions (Flash recovery>Download a ROM (CM7 recommended))
Once you are familiar with the basics of installing a ROM from ZIP, head over to the Dev forums, and download ICS for stock HBOOT to get you started!

This is true. I was just going off the instructions that Theshawty wrote. In the instructions he included directions to use fastboot. And without replacing the bootloader to Blackrose (which is probably too in depth to do include here), using fastboot would require the bootloader to be unlocked.

I have S-OFF'd my device and I didn't use anything called XTC Clip?

Yep. Nothing special required for S-OFF. Heck, you can S-OFF in like 20 seconds by just installing Blackrose! And revert to stock S-ON HBOOT whenever you like!

Using Blackrose does not actually make your device S-Off. The upgraded HBOOT just ignores the flag that is set saying the S-On is still there and displays that you are S-Off. And so, essentially you have S-Off when you use blackrose, but that is only because blackrose ignores the actual setting saying the S-On is still in place. The one thing this will not allow is relocking the bootloader, which full S-Off, when acheived with the XTC Clip, will do.

The SuperOneClick Application just gets not responding when I click the Root button and after these messages on the right pane are shown
* daemon not running . starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
Please advise..

Make sure you run it with administrator rights (right click to see the option), and verify that USB Debugging is turned on on the phone. If it is turned on, you need to make sure you have the adb drivers installed (different than the standard USB drivers that windows automatically installs).

Hi all. I have read quite a few pages of the s off blacks install guide. Not really getting it. Can someone please give me simple steps to install blackrose?
Please and thank you.

I've read that and everything sounds so complicated. I've watched the vid for resizing partition but they don't say anything. Can someone give a step by step for us noobs for resizing partition please?

do you have all requirements met from br op page
if so, you need to download the latest br from op and extract it to the download folder you just downloaded br to. then open the extracted folder and clickon br.exe
follow instructions inside the command window that opens
then you need to resize partition to ics sizes thru the breditor

What is op page?Yes bootloader unlocked. Rooted. I have the blackrose zip.the adb and fastboot drivers for windows. Don't know what to do now. I put both files on my desktop. Now what?

OP page is first page of Dev's thread--mmm
Needs read as well as most of thread to get an understanding of this--lots of folks are running into big trouble if they don't understand it first--
If you are rooted and unlocked do you have sdk installed and can you run adb devices and fastboot devices in command window and see phone's serial number? If so you don't need the usb drivers from OP page--

Yes I have ran commands on a my touch4g, a HTC sensation and a g 2x. Do I just do exactly as the YouTube video shows and then flash the blackrose zip after resizing
the partition? Then flash an Ics Rom?

[MINI-GUIDE] Roadmap to a Custom ROM!

Roadmap to Custom ROM​
1.Unlock Bootloader from htcdev.com.
2.Flash a multi hboot recovery.
3.Root using the permanent root solution flashed via recovery, found here.
4.Flash S-OFF Hboot from unlimited.io.
5.Flash custom ROM with no problems.
To check your Unlock Token, Flash Recovery and S-OFF you should use the tool provided by me here .

This is the easiest guide to follow.. I'm also using this step to install custom Rom on my SXL before I got One X.. I'm also don't get it.. why people don't use unlimited.io trick.. it easier for me.
BTW.. it good to see a new dev for sxl.. it a good device.. but lack of developer.. wish you good luck with your project.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Agreed.
I've flashed on a lot of devices and the SXL guides are all a bit random.
The info is out there but sometimes you need to dig a lot to find it.
And a lot are out of date.
Hope this becomes the go-to guide for everyone and hope to see some dev work happening.
I think its time to move on for me..... getting flash withdrawal.

I'm just getting familiar with the forum and the device (almost 4 days since i bought it).
Soon enough if i have time (back2school), i will try to work on CM9 or CM10, depends, CM9 seems the obvious road to take as some work was previosly made by [vertigo], and some fixes are needed (he said that are kernel related), so i think i will try to fix his CM9 rather than port it again form scratch.
As for CM10, i think the best road to take is to compile AOSP JB from source and edit the kernel so it likes the jelly flavour.
If everything works as intedend, in a couple of months we should see both CM9 and JB/CM10 up and going.
(The worst thing is that i will surely need help, i think i can find around the forum, some testers already enrolled to the call to arms thread, so maybe we can build up a team., i really like this device )

I will say that some of the guides are if you were on a GB rom, and then installing a custom rom wasn't so easy, but since the upgrade to ICS it has become a lot easier, although I had noticed that it is easier to softbrick the phone if you don't flash the chinese boot.img and then chinese rom. Also s-off isn't essential for flashing custom roms...

Well, i'm fairly new to this device, but from what i've learned, the chinsese rom is optional if you have s-off, as s-off let's you to access all the partitions, system and other things you need.
Maybe i'm wrong, that's why i've started this thread, i think this is easier, and softbricking a phone with Android seems almost impossible to me...as i said, to me

Yeah I know the chinese rom is optional, but as I said from my point of view, once I'd flashed the chinese rom, I didn't manage to softbrick the phone where as before when I was trying various ports I managed to softbrick it a few times. Just my opinion and what I'd noticed with my device...
As for s-off mine (although broken) is still s-on and I've never felt the need to make it s-off. Again just my opinion

Well, i know what youre pointing at, i was just wandering when i first read te forum, why on earth should i install a Chinsese ROM when i will change it anyways for a new ROM...so the boot.img is a different one in the custom one, and other things.
I'm not so expeirenced with S-Off/On, as this is my first HTC phone i have and changed ROM (not too many HTC's in my area), but from what i've read online, S-Off is the best road to take to ensure you don't softbrick your phone, as you have the real "Full Control" over the Device and the ROM parts you can flash, like you, this is my opinion, a begginers opinion

Double Post because reedited thread

Hi Lexmazter,
Thanks for making this guide, it is easy to follow. But I'm stuck at a small point and face below response; -
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Please let me know where did I do wrong? Thanks.
My steps were: -
factory reset
root via DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT
titanium backup worked and restore all apps and settings
unclocked the bootloader from htcdev.
all data gone, no more, like factory reset again
superuser app still exist, didn't root again
booted and rooted as you said
connect PC to phone via USB in charge mode only.
run your tool
doing select 5 Flash HBOOT S-OFF Unprotected (via adb) - choose hg hi both failed - but face above message 3 repeat lines.
reboot to bootloader FASTBOOT, >>>>>USB<<<<< appear
UNLOCK at top also appear
then select 4 Flash Recovery. (via fastboot) - then choose rei reg both failed - but face above message. 1 line.
Hope can teach me, thank you very much in advance.
And I'm sure I didn't do something right before hand.

Extract the contents of the archive in C:/ and try again, it is most likely because you are running from a folder that has spaces (" ").

Thanks for replying so quickly, some questions before sleep tonight.
I moved the folder to c:\xmtool and run as administrator as usual. But without connecting the phone, and select 5 flash H boot. The 3 repeat message appear still. Hahah, may be I want to test in theory.
Anyway, reading more more other post and try again this weekend.
Thanks !!!! many of your post and reply has been insightful.

[Noob]Custom ROM instructions.

I'm new to android.I'm quite confused about the whole custom Rom installation process.I managed to unlock bootloader and root my phone.I tried to find guides to let me install custom roms on my device.I have a vague idea about the whole process but whenever I look at a ROM release thread, half the information there is beyond me.I would be happy if someone pointed me in the right direction to a complete guide with noob friendly instructions.Also, I would prefer to stay S-On, can someone help me with the whole s-off regarding custom Rom stuff too?
Thanks.

You don't need s-off to flash most custom roms. Only some GPE version will require s-off.
Flash twrp 2.8.5.0
boot your phone in recovery mode
plug your phone to your pc
place your rom.zip on your phone storage
in twrp select "install"
choose your rom.zip
swipe to flash
Follow instructions from the rom installer (aroma installer)
reboot

Ill be honest. Doing things like this are not meant to be noob friendly.
Take about a week and do lots of reading this way if something goes wrong you will know how to recover.

That's what I'm having trouble with.I cant seem to find any solid reading material for stuff like these.For example, will restoring a nandroid backup really fix problems like bootloops and other errors you may run into while flashing ROMS? Also,how do kernels and ROMs match up? are they independent of each other or do certain ROMs work only when you have a particular kernel installed? will a wrong kernel cause any issues with certain ROMs and I'm seriously scared of bricking my device since the amount you're required to know is quite vast.I used to have an iPhone until the HTC One M7 and I was pretty much an advanced user on the iOS platform.I wouldnt call myself a noob, but I cant call myself an advanced android user either.Atleast not yet.

Wow yeah you need to do alot of reading then. Now while I mean no insult. Being an advanced user for IOS and jumping to android is like going from first grade and then jumping to the 12th.
Yes depending on the device kernels only work with matching roms. Take the m7 you mentioned. You have 4 kind of kernels. AOSP, AOSP-Caf, Sense and CM
Each has to be paired with a matching rom. IF you flash the wrong one then it can cause a bootloop. Never expect a nandroid to be a fix all. While it will fix things alot of the time it is not an end all to fixing a bad flash. Sometimes you will have to flash things with a bootloader from command line. Depending on your OS on your PC there could also be other issues. So at times you may need a linux based live disc or partition.

Your in safe hands with this forum....theres not nuch that cannot be solved if you go wrong,however there are a multitude of good videos on you tube .
I found this guys videos very easy to follow https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKlOmM_eB0nzTNiDFZibSSA
A little out of date now but a good image of what to do,backed up with the knowledge base on this forum its relatively easy!
Once you have a custom recovery make back ups before you do anything,I found buying an OTG cable and USB drive a good way to create lots of back ups ,so if things go wrong you have a good restore point.
Unlikely to brick your device if you keep S-on ,build up your confidence and go S-off when you can...its like xmas everyday once you know how to use the power it brings!

Okay,let me start off simple.My HTC One M7 is on complete stock now.Running Lollipop from HTC.It is an unlocked Hong Kong version.Bootloader unlocked and TWRP recovery flashed.I need a kernel which will enable motion launch gestures as on the one m8 and also functions like sweep2wake etc.Can someone link me to the appropriate kernel to flash?
I know how to flash the kernel, I have trouble choosing the right one.

If you are running stock rom (sense 6) + lollipop and your phone is a M7_UL or M7_U then ElementalX 20.1 should work fine

From one noob to another haha
I really like ViperOne mods, but I haven't used Elements.
alray nailed it -- easiest ROM install.
you need to install TWRP first.
I used the HTC One Toolkit for this, you can find it on XDA. (Sorry new user, I can't post links)
I assume your phone is still unlocked. -- if not, unlock it
Have Debug mode Enabled on your phone. (Settings -> About -> Software information -> More -> Click Build number 10 times)
Settings -> Developer options -> USB Debugging -> Checked
Using HTC One Toolkit, click ADB -> Devices
this will start adb. you might wait a second or 5 for your device to be shown.
Then click the Pull down reboot menu select bootloader, then click Reboot.
-the phone should reboot into the Bootloader.
Select Fastboot, press power button.
Then in HTC One Toolkit, close the adb window and click Fastboot.
Click Devices
-Your device should show in the main HTC One Toolkit window.
Once you see that, Under Label Flash, press ... button and select the TWRP you just downloaded. Then select Partition Recovery, then Flash.
Once complete and successful, reboot the phone into Recovery from the phone's menu.
!! NOTE !! You must reboot into Recovery before starting the ROM. Or it may re-write the Recovery.
Once in Recovery, reboot the phone from within Recovery and let it start normally.
Copy your rom (in .zip format) onto your phone. I make new folder called roms or mods on my phones so I don't lose track of where things are.
Once your Rom is copied to your phone (I suggest ViperOne 8.0.0.0), use ADB again and reboot the phone into recovery.
From TWRP Touch Install
navigate to your folder where your ROM is (zip file)
Click it and install.
I wipe all settings when I install a new ROM.
Good luck!

And I would highly recommend not using any toolkits but instead take an extra 30 mins to learn how to use adb and fastboot properly so if something bad happens you know how to deal with it.
Most noobs are totally stuck if something is not working as expected when using a toolkit. Wen you took the time learning adb and fastboot you'll know how to deal with most issues when flashing roms/recovery/ruu/frimware/kernel/radio and more. When you did not took any time to learn adb and fastboot and using a toolkit instead, when something unexpected happen, you'll just be stuck there because your little toolkit doesn't have any "I'm screwed, what should I do?" button.

I have nothing against using using tools, so long as they're trusted.
Nor is there anything wrong doing it by hand, if not more beneficial.
All in one tools bypass a lot of the understanding.
Alray's first post was right to the point, basic, and a perfect example.
B

I do know how to use adb and command line to do all that.Intact I did not know that there was a toolkit to do this before I read that post
I do have some experience with the HTC wildfire and sensation XL.But they were considerably older devices which I used a long time ago as temporary ones.
The HTC One is my first non iOS device.

HTC DESIRE 510 64bit STOCK REVERT

Hey, I am trying to revert my HTC desire 510 to stock, i do not have a backup. I found files on the htcdev.com and thought they were Roms (easy catch). Unfortunately they are not. I don't even know what to do with these files in order to get my ROM in place.
My device is a 64bit, was running UK Vodafone rom. i need to get that back on. Need help here...
That up there, old...... I got the solution, thanks to the developers that helped me. Am now posting the links here. Choose which your phone is based on. The link includes different RUU's, not only that of Vodafone.
https://mega.nz/#fm/95YHUAQT
i have been told that the upper link doesnt work, try this...... https://mega.co.nz/#F!3Zo10Zya!-NbM_2RWWecFlc5mH9bLbA
I did not upload anything, so i will not take credit for that job. On the other hand, i will take credit for widely sharing. (Easy Find)
Best way of downloading is having the Mega downloader app on your computer.
Tested and approved for share. I thank all the developers out there. FYI, the RUU's do not exist on the htc.com/uk site. I do not know why. Those of x86 have theres on htc.com/us site.
Hit THanks
ADDITION
The HTC Desire 510 x64 Rom has been debloated, thanx to the developers that have been working on this.

HOW TO INSTALL:
What is changed?
Not much is changed.
Bellow are the app replacements I made:
1. Sense Home ---> NOVA Launcher
2. Sense Messages ---> Google Messages (Material Design)
3. Sense Calculator ---> Xlythe Calculator (Material Design)
4. Sense Calendar ---> Google Calendar (Material Design)
5. Sense Clock ---> Google Clock (Material Design)
6. Sense File Manager ---> ES File Explorer
7. Sense Weather ---> AccuWeather
4. Sense Keyboard ---> Google Keyboard
He removed a lot of HTCs and Google’s useless apps and other things, that are taking up space and resources.
From Google apps you have left:
1. Google Play Store
2. Google Chrome
3. Google Play Games
4. Google Drive
4. YouTube
5. All other background apps and services that are required for the Google apps to function properly.
From HTC apps you have left:
1. Camera app
2. FM Radio
3. Gallery (I couldn't find a decent replacement)
4. Music
5. Photo Editor
6. LockScreen
He removed the HTC Browser, Zoe, E-mail and other useless stuff from HTC.
He has included:
1. Clean Master Lite - It's much faster than the full blown app and gets the job done. Lots of people hate it but it works like a charm on this device.
2. DiskInfo - With this little app you can see all of the partitions on your device. Regardless if you are S-ON or S-OFF.
3. Glim Lite - A set of beautiful Material design icons for NOVA launcher.
He didn't include an E-mail app because the Play Store is full of them and I couldn't choose. This choice is up to you.
How to install it?
First of all you need an unlocked bootloader with a TWRP - custom recovery installed on your device.
To unlock your bootloader go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/desi...e-510-t2910233. Follow that tutorial to get your bootloader unlocked. After a successful unlocking you'll need a custom recovery.
Download this file: https://dl.twrp.me/a11ul/twrp-3.0.2-0-a11ul.img. This is the latest TWRP recovery for our device. Now we need to flash this file on the device:
Before starting put the contents of the ZIP file on to your SD card. And make sure that it has this folder structure:
Code:
--SD CARD
--TWRP
--BACKUPS
--Your device serial number (The name of this folder should be the serial number of your device otherwise TWRP won't see the backups in this folder)
--2016-04-17--13-49-21_KTU84L_release-keys (Don't change this, I don't know what will happen if you do)
All you do is replace the downloaded backup with your backup, 1st delete your files..... DO NOT REPLACE THE FOLDERS, ONLY THE FILES IN THE LAST FOLDER
1. Power off your device by pulling the battery out and putting it in again.
2. Press the Volume Down and Power Buttons until you see the HBOOT screen.
3. Press the Power button again to enter Fastboot mode.
4. Connect your phone with your PC using an USB cable.
5. Now open your terminal (I'm using Ubuntu but it's same in Windows as well) and type:
Code:
fastboot devices
This will show you an output like this:
Code:
--your devices serial number-- fastboot
If it doesn't show you an output like that then you probably didn't install the drivers correctly or you have a faulty USB cable.
If your output is the same as above than we can move on.
This command will flash the TWRP recovery on your device:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /full/path/to/the/recovery.img
Example:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /home/denny/Downloads/twrp-3.0.2-0-a11ul.img
Now you have TWRP on your device.
To boot TWRP press the Power button to go back to the HBOOT screen and navigate to the RECOVERY option with the volume keys and again press the Power button. After a few seconds you'll see your new recovery.
Restoring the backup
First we need to wipe any potential data that will cause conflicts with the new system.
1. Tap on "Wipe"
2. Tap on "Advanced Wipe"
3. Select all but leave the Micro SDCard option unchecked.
4. Swipe the slider to wipe the data.
After that is complete press on the house button on the lower end of the screen.
Now we are going to restore the backup:
1. Tap on the "Restore" button.
2. At the lower left corner tap on "Select Storage" button.
3. Choose "Micro SDCard" option and press OK.
4. Now you should see the backup folder. Open it.
5. Select "Boot" and "System" and swipe to start the restoring process.
6. Press "Reboot System" after the restoring has finished.
After you setup you system, remove the battery again, launch in to recovery and flash this boot.img
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-NJk0QRfxXaGNzX1VsOHR4NXM/view?pref=2&pli=1
when it is done, u may also flash this Busybox

Hey Zubagy. I have been searching for an RUU for vodaphone for ages!! Is this the stock?
Could you advice me on how to apply this after after rooting my device. Will this lock my carrier again. I am actually on a different carrier, but they can't detect tethering because I bought the phone from vodaphone.

Any time, yes... the version is 1.51.161.10. It doesnt lock the operator, your phone is just based on the Vodaphone make but you are able to use any operator. Iam in Uganda and i use the phone for Airtel. The Vodaphone part of it all is to jst show who the makers or promoters are in this case. But all that is Bloatware. I have updated my Blog and added the necessary links that you are intrested in, and how to install. (Debloated rom)
in this case am assuming you have x64 based HTC.
Sorry for the delay in the response this time, I went offline yesterday.
That rom is a '.exe'. this means you will have to ran it on ur windows computer and all u do, is insert the phone when you are asked to, and let the computer do the rest.
If you need further help, dont hesitate....especially when it comes to flashing the fdebloated version, the developer of that version is not replying, dont know why

Many thanks, you have been very helpful,
So all I have to do is download the Vofaphone ROM and run it on my computer after my phone is rooted? Do I need to make sure that boot loader is locked and any other precautions I should take? I wish to unroot the phone afterwards and leave it as the vodaphone version.

No, no need for relocking the boot loader, just go a head and insert your phone as it will tell you too Just make sure you have battery of around 50%+.
your wish will come through to unroot the phone, but trust me.....it is boring. the debloated rom is far much better when it comes to performance. the phone is actually smoother and you get space for other applications. What i did with my phone, i installed the debloated, added a memory card of 8gb, partitioned it so that i can push some apps to the phone..... but hey, anytym......You need more help..... dont hesitate.....will be right here.

Hi Zubaggy, I have just two more questions.
After I have opened the .exe file and installed the Vodaphone ROM on my phone, do I need to also install the 1.51.161.10 Kernel from the HTCdev website, or does the ROM have that inside it.?

When you are flashing a RUU, you need to unroot the phone, install the stock recovery and relock the bootloader before you start the install process. The errors above tell you that you haven't done something from the things I mentioned.

I installed the recovery I made using philz touch. I believe I am now unrooted. I was told by Zubaggy that I don't need to relock boot loader. How do I do that anyway?

When you run the RUU the installer expects the phone to be in original shape. That is way it gives our errors when it detects a custom kernel or a custom recovery.
This is the stock kernel:
https://mega.nz/#!LQIDQZzK!pdmMgPrh5clCYWuyAczfzyIhKBFDyysYWAOLRhx0pZM
This is the stock recovery:
https://mega.nz/#!uMQ0ETpB!5YLSOjAHGfDMCrDHIN3smSTjPI35LcD1wSJf4BZ6Luc
Flash them using fastboot and after that relock the bootloader and try the RUU again.
If you have any questions please ask.
EDIT: You can relock the boot loader using the command: fastboot oem lock

When you run the RUU the installer expects the phone to be in original shape. That is way it gives our errors when it detects a custom kernel or a custom recovery.
This is the stock kernel:

This is the stock recovery:

Thanks Danny for your fast responses I have been responding to you in my thread but would like to keep it here.
Philz touch is installed on my system and I don't know how to remove it.
Which should I flash first the stock kernel or recovery.
Surely I can't use recovery while I have one already, what if I install the stock recovery and then I haven't got a back up file.
What commands do I need to enter in CMD to flash those files.
Thanks.
