[clark44]

Hey guys Just wanted to give a quick TUT to the Noobs...


THIS IS THE BETA VERSION I DID NOT CREATE IT ALL CREDIT GOES TO TEAM Revolutionary...
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENES TO YOUR PHONE...


1.)Go to http://revolutionary.io/ select your operating system...
2.) once downloaded apply for a beta key (this is needed!!)
3.) Boot into you phone like normal and go to Settings>Applications>Development>And check USB Debugging...Make sure your phone is on charge only.
4.) Extract the downloaded ZIP to a folder (DONT RUN IT FROM THE ZIP) and run the file "revolutionary"
5.) It will ask you for a beta key (you should he gotten from the site) enter it and hit enter.
6.) It will get you S-Off and root.

OPTIONAL FLASH TWRP

1.) Download TWRP from their thread.
2.) Plug in you phone to your pc and make sure you have fastboot drivers and your phone is in fastboot mode
2* to put your phone is fastboot mode remove the battery>put it in and hold down volume down and powerbutton>once in bootloader use the volume rockers to go to fastboot> hit the power button...done!
3.) Once you have your usb plugged in and the .img downloaded open CMD
4.) Navigate to your sdk/tools path not your platform-tools/ (since thats where fastboot is)
5.) (make sure the recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img is in the sdk/tools/ folder) Type in

fastboot flash_image recovery recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img

Your command should look like this

C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\abe\Desktop\recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img

just change

 C:\Users\abe\Desktop\recovery-twrp-shooter-
1.0.0.img

(drag and drop the file into the cmd window to choose its position and walllah!!)

Rooting Proccess...

I went through the steps and now phone is off and wont turn on. When connected QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager.

Do we need to have the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers for this exploit to work?

Thanks ahead of time.

EDIT: Did a battery pull and started over from begining. We now have S-Off!!!!! Failed to install CWM but I will install TWRP

 

[mikeyxda]

Does Amon Recovery work? If so, can we get instructions for that? If not, instructions for CWM.

Thanks,
Mike

Oh okay, I failed.

When I did that it just came up with a list of commands

 

[clark44]

If your phone wont turn on you probably dont have your fastboot drivers installed. Do that first


AS for amon RA recovery that hasent been built for the shooter yet. If you want cmw just keep running the revolutionary application and it will ask if you want it to flash CMW

you paste that command and drag the file into the cmd window so it tells cmd where the file is

There are people having trouble flashing CWM with the tool. AFter the tool finishes if you try and run again it says device not supported at this time. I have s-off but cannot flash a recovery.

 

[clark44]

anyone who failed when pasteing the command i just typed a new one run it

Ya its just commands!

 

[CrippleB]

you paste that command and drag the file into the cmd window so it tells cmd where the file is

When I drag it into window it says windows cannot open this file and wants tyo search the web

 

[clark44]

Ya its just commands!

your command should look like this

C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\abe\Desktop\recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img

kjust change

 C:\Users\abe\Desktop\recovery-twrp-shooter-
1.0.0.img

top where your .img is

 

[souless poet]

I have all the drivers installed. I have uninstalled htc sync. I am stuck on waiting for fastboot. Can't get past that part. HHHMMMMM

Edit: I reinstalled the drivers about three times while it was waiting for fastboot. Disconnected and connected a few times and it finally took.

 

[mikeyxda]

run the twrp recovery for now cmw flashing is a no go for people atm

So that means that you should opt out of the CWM install and install TWRP after doing s-off? Would be nice if we had full instructions: including what to select/install during the revolutionary exe.

There are people having trouble flashing CWM with the tool. AFter the tool finishes if you try and run again it says device not supported at this time. I have s-off but cannot flash a recovery.

Exact same situation here.

Edit: Just saw the post above that CWM isn't working yet.

 

[WillJitsu]

I flashed this through fastboot and it appeared to work. It won't boot into the recovery though. Are there some steps I'm missing?

 

[ibejaminben]

beta key

I have tried to enter in the beta key oh about 20 time but it keeps saying invalid press almost and key to abort anyone else having this problem ?
