[ROOT] Rooting JetStream for UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS ONLY {WORKING}

AshDeezy · Feb 14, 2012

I successfully rooted! Got CWM working and root is there. Although I have the files I'm sure other members of the community will want this stuff as refurb Jetstreams and clearance ones come on the market.

Thank you DooMLoRD and Juannicolas for helping me out. I have a few questions:

1. My bootloader screen still shows me as S-ON. What is the point of being S-OFF? And how do I do it?

2. My HBOOT shows version 1.78.0007 and I noticed most everyone has 1.78.0010. Why is that?

3. Like others the whole reason I'm doing this is to enable AnyConnect. AnyConnect says I'm not even rooted (rooted: false) and that I don't have tun.ko loaded. Has anyone got AnyConnect working on here?

Sorry to inform you but we still have no S-OFF yet. AFAIK

Updated ROM preventing root?

I recently updated my ROM with the one located here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/jetstream-att/downloads/

just released feb. 9th.

And I can't get past step one to obtain root. I constantly get a "failed remote not allowed" error message and it doesn't reboot automatically. Any suggestions?

guru_shastri · Mar 6, 2012

have you unlocked the bootloader again?
flashed the insecure kernel?
rememberd closing all adb and htcsync process on you computer?

emuking · Mar 6, 2012

Thank you! First time doing this and missed the first line of the OP about already having unlocked bootloaders. Misread the post title as the mod also performing the unlocking of that. I have a rooted Jetstream now

yay!

Mitchface · Mar 20, 2012

Can you post a method to remove your kernel from Rogers Jetstreams as there are no stock roms available on HTC for us to flash and it causes constant reboots thnx.

guru_shastri · Mar 20, 2012

there's a version of stock kernel at the task650 rom thread. not sure to which version, and honestly i dont think it matters...

Can OP/Anyone post a mirror to the kernel and root script? Multiupload appears to be down

Final Step with Mac

Any ideas on how to run the batch/root without installing a Win emulator.

I have a .sh file for unix/osx but it still under testing. It seems in one of the steps is not getting the busybox installed. I will look at it to see if I can make it work, anyways I also have osx so it would be nice to have not install windows for it.

I tested it and it seems to work. if anyone could give it a try I will appreciate any input.

FINALLY ACHIEVED ROOT.
All is well after numerous tries. I'm not sure what caused my last attempt to work, but now adb wireless, root explorer, and titanium backup all have superuser status and are working perfectly.

Help!
I thought I did all correct up until the runme.bat. At that point I received continually error messages; the chief one being that adb server was out of date? Noted a 2010 date on the xda download for adb, so updated it with one from 2012 - same error. Adb is out of date followed by repeated error messagesl, and no root.

I had successfully unlocked the htc bootloader, ran the 'fastboot boot insecure.img'; waited for reboot. Installed the unzipped v2toolkit and runme.bat to root of C drive. Ran runme.bat. Errors!

After repeatedly trying to root the Jetstream, I waited until all finished and it rebooted. Rebooted once again and found I had the Superuser, but not Busybox. Tried to install Titanium Backup, but it indicated the root had failed and TB did not have root access.

Help!

Try either of the 2 following:
1. Unistall your HTC Sync if you got it installed. Then try.
2. When you fail the 1st time, go to task manager and end all adb and fastboot related data.
I did both and they did help me the 1st time.

Thanks kailashpchhabria,

If I have any more trouble I'll remember these suggestions!
