[How to] Guide to S-off, Recovery & ROOT

Here's a quick quide to installing the S-off tool, flashing the custom recovery & root *FOR HBOOT 1.30 & 1.40 ONLY!!!*



*NOTE* if you do not have SDK installed, extract these files to a folder (ie, c:sdktools)


Installing S-off

-download & install the fastboot drivers
-download the S-off tool
*NOTE* you'll need your HTC serial # (adb devices)
Code:
c:SDKtools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT16JHX*****    recovery
-you will need this serial # to generate a beta key, select your hboot version (boot into bootloader to see your version...to get into bootloader: with phone off, hold down vol down, hit the power button)




-extract the contents of revolutionary-0.3pre6.zip to a folder
-attach your USB cable to phone, run revolutionary.exe, once it finds your phone, it will start the magic
-it will boot u into fastboot numerous times, this is normal
-once it finishes, do NOT install clockwork, ppl are having issues w/ it


Flashing the Recovery

-download PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-2.1.1.zip
-copy the .zip to the root of your sd card
-boot into bootloader without the usb cable connected (adb reboot bootloader)
-you may have to select the bootloader option
-it will scan your sd card, when it finds the PG86IMG, it will prompt you to install
-you now have a custom recovery
-reboot phone into Android, rename or delete the PG86IMG.zip (if u don't, it will try to install everytime u enter bootloader)

To get into Recovery

-using adb, type adb reboot recovery

OR

-power down phone, boot back into bootloader without the cable plugged in
-select the recovery option
-phone will boot into recovery, I strongly suggest doing a nandroid backup!


Flashing ROOT

-download ROOT
-from the recovery main menu, choose USB Storage Toggle, copy su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip to your SD card
-from the recovery main menu, choose "install zip", then "choose zip to flash", then select su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip

-you should now have ROOT!!!

How long did you wait? For me, it did that 4 or so times and then said it gave the lemons back or something clever. If it's not working, the first thing I would check would be the drivers and make sure you aren't running HTC Sync when you try.

Re: Guide to S-off, Recovery & ROOT

for those that may not have SDK installed, extract this zip to your C: (ie, c:\sdk\tools) and this is where u need to be to execute the fastboot command
