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!!!
