[Q] S-off with hboot 1.12?

tames1235 · Jul 20, 2014

Hi, I've had my Evo for awhile and rooted it about 2 years ago and haven't updated anything outside of my recoveries, so I'm sitting on hboot 1.12 and s-on. I want to update my hboot and radios but after much googling it looks like I have to go s-off. Lazy panda and dirty rancun don't seem to support windows anymore so it looks like my only option is facepalm s-off. On that thread it shows I need supercid which i'm not sure how to get. Is it even possible to upgrade my hboot, or would there be another way to upgrade my radios without going s-off?

Thanks!

Facepalm is super easy just follow the instructions.

I don't need supercid? Would I just run the commands from the folder with my adb and fastboot .exes?

As BD619 said, facepalm will work for your hboot and it is the easiest way ever. Just read carefully and follow instructions.

Copy and paste the command to gain Super CID into your command line. Run it while booted to the Android OS. Then follow the rest of the instructions in the Facepalm thread. There are two files that you'll need to put in your ADB/Fastboot directory prior to running the commands. You need to be on a fairly stock Sense ROM, also.

Thanks for the reply. Could you dumb that down a bit? I've already put the two files into my folder with the adb.exe and the fastboot.exe. I've already restored to a stock rom (sense 4.0 and android 4.03) that I had from before I started flashing custom roms. Booted to the android OS?

Ah, thanks. Sorry for so many questions. Putting in the supercid command, I got 8+0 records in, 8+0 records out. Then entering in the next command, I get " error: device not found" That can't be right?

This command?
adb reboot bootloader

If so just boot into bootloader manually
Reboot your device and hold vol down it will take you to bootloader
Also if you are in bootloader already make sure it says fastbootusb (if it just says fastboot press the power button once to select fastboot it should change to fastbootusb)

I WISH

I have the correct files in the correct folder. I'm running the commands, but i'm getting "adb server is out of date. killing...." and when I manually reboot into bootloader I don't have the "CID-22222222" So I have to update my SDK version?

Sounds like that may be your issue. I had to update mine awhile back due to the same issue.

So this is another can of worms. I've downloaded the adt bundle with eclipse. I extracted the files and ran Eclipse, and I get "Could not find SDK folder"

Shoot @BD619 a PM. He helped me get everything up to date awhile back. I'm sure he can help you, too.

Put it on your C\ drive and extract it then run the sdk manager

Got that, I just installed updates, but I still have the "adb server is out of date" Is there something specific I should be installing?

"adb server is out of date"
Is normal what happens when you type adb devices

Well dang, if that's not the problem... Is 8+0 records in, 8+0 records out confirmation that the supercid went through? Because my bootloader doesn't have anything outside of

When you type adb devices do you get
your serial number and device
Or does it come back blank?
