I've already got the rom. I need the insecure boot image. Is the one on the rom capable of achieving s-off?

It's gonna take a while, if somebody has downloaded this already will you please mirror it?

I would appreciate it

So I'm trying to flash this so I can get this phone back in working order and give it to a friend.

Wipe everything, copy the boot.img from the zip into my fastboot folder. Flash the ROM through TWRP, fastboot flash the boot.img, and I get stuck in a bootloop on the VM Splash screen when I reboot... What am I doing wrong?

    Please excuse my absence. I will not be watching this thread for the time being. Hopefully if you have any questions, they can be answered by using the search option or someone else with this device that happens to check this thread will be kind enough to help.

    soon enough we won't need this thread, because we will all be able to RUU lol-Dec 6, 2013


    posted on rumrunner.us. should work for both primou and primoc. Note, it is highly recommended (mandatory?) to be on a normal sense-based ICS rom and using an unsecure (preferably stock based) kernel. If you get poor results with other configurations, don't bother asking for help please!

    S-OFF is here rumrunner.us

    Huge thanks to beaups

    This rom is probably most compatible with rumrunner

    The boot.img inside is unsecure so flash away and GO GET S-OFFED!!!

    Here's the unsecure boot.img that I used to achieve s-off.

    Added init.d support

    Added Root Permissions with Chainfire's SuperSu

    This ROM was cooked with dsixda's Android Kitchen

    Thank you and credit goes out to the both of them.

    1. Unlock your Bootloader by following the instructions at htcdev

    1a. If you've succesfully unlocked your Bootloader, that means you have your fastboot files on your PC and know in general how to use them.

    2. Download an openrecovery of your choice. I personally use TeamWinRecoveryProject 2.2.0 without any issues at all. (See the attached File)

    3. Place the recovery.img that you have chosen into your fastboot folder.

    3a. Change the name of the .img to recovery.img (just easier that way when sending the flash command)

    4. Now open a terminal while in the fastboot folder.

    4a. On Windows- hold shift+right click the mouse then click open command terminal here.

    4b. On Ubuntu- CTRL+ALT+T to open a terninal then cd fastboot.

    5.
    fastboot flash recovery recovery.img​

    5a. ^^^^^ Type this into the terminal. ^^^^^

    5b. You now have a custom/openrecovery. ;)

    6. After the recovery.img is flashed, reboot your Bootloader.

    6a.
    fastboot reboot-bootloader​

    7. After booted back into bootloader, use your volume-down button to highlight Recovery.
    Now press your Power button to select it.

    7a. Now your are in Recovery!

    8. Click Wipe, then Cashe, then Dalvick, then Factory Rest, then System.

    8a. This will wipe all of your phone nice and clean for a fresh install.

    9. Click Home, then Install, and find the ROM.zip, click it, then install. Let it finish installing the click Wipe Cashe/Dalvick.

    10. Navigate back to the Home screen and click Reboot, then Bootloader

    10a. I hope you have a copy of the ROM.zip on your PC.

    11. Open the ROM.zip and copy/extract the boot.img from inside it and place it in your fastboot folder.

    12. Open a terminal once again.

    13.
    fastboot flash boot boot.img​

    13a. Let it finish.

    14.
    fastboot reboot​

    15. Enjoy.


    These instructions are for use with TWRP (TeamWinRecoveryProject) They may be different using CWMrecovery (ClockWorkMod).

    Just a heads ups to the guys anticipating s-off

    This rom has an unsecure boot.img inside it that I used while going through the process with beaups.

    I was also rocking this ROM during the process....

    Just throwing it out there.
