[Root] Boot / Root / Recovery

[Team DevDigitel]

Thanks to some questions and awnsers I was able to create the
rooted boot.img for our HTC Bolt devices.

This was tested on the HTC Bolt Software 1.17.651.11 Android N 7

How To: (downloads at bottom of page)

Connect Device to computer
Insure that usb debugging is on as well as OEM unlock is checked.
The device must be Boot-loader unlocked to do this!
place both the patched_boot.img and the magisk_cache.img in the same directory your fastboot files are setup at ( c:/android/sdk/fastboot or wherever you have it)

Boot the phone into Download mode. ( Power + VOL down)

Open up terminal on the computer and run both these commands:
fastboot devices

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
fastboot flash cache magisk_cache.img

followed by fastboot reboot

you'll need to head over to :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/development/root-magisk-autoroot-magisk-phhs-t3507505

Grab the manager.apk and the super user apk to complete the setup.


Give these guys a thanks also for getting this going, gonna build a rom with debloat next and see if the twrp will flash it with this boot.img behind it.
shall see

Thanks to:

Device will bootloop once, and when done will install su. Please be patient

Nice!

suprised that it went so smoothly, su being systemless is a little buggy here and there with Android N, but otherwise i was able to navigate the internals, remove the bloat, make some build prop edits and theyve stuck. so far so good.

Went ahead and tried to use flashify and flash the twrp image from other post. Flashed and was able to make a backup to sd only. I didn't flash or try to restore it yet but I did have to relock and restore 3x with the stock ruu after removing too much system and trying to flash xposed

thanks for this! was able to get root on mine as well.

any idea how to get S-OFF? looks like Sunshine isn't compatible with Magisk, probably should have done that first

 

[Team DevDigitel]

S off

Not sure.. Probably gonna be some time with Android N.

I was able to change carrier types in Ui.
Got vzw 1x 3g 4G icons
Hot-spot mod
And a few other things working.
No radios to flash.. No kernels and I don't dev kernels.
So I don't need s-off really.. It's more so just having to re-lock
To go back to stock.

I just ordered a Bolt, can't wait to play

Yey can't wait! It didn't want to be the only one working
On it!

Just curious about how you went about unlocking the bootloader? Tried using the HTC dev service but they don't seem to support the Bolt yet. Also, haven't had too much experience with the bootloader since I've mostly been on Samsung Verizon devices. lol...

it is supported, just choose "All other supported models" and follow the instructions

Restored boot and tried Sunshine but it failed. Hopefully S-OFF will come soon.

Use the other supported devices section at bottom.

Just follow the steps on htc dev.

Save the unlock.bin file HTC will email you. You need it Every time you need to lock/unlock. Without s-off (removing the 2nd lock that protects the radios)

* the phone has to be re-locked to be restored with the stock htc software "ruu's"

Htc ruu is a 1 click style restore program...similar to odin that Will run on the PC and restore phone to stock.

It also comes in a update.zip format that can be flashed with the stock Signed recovery only via sd card slot.

Twrp is currently working on bolt / but has limitations because Its not 100%

Random stuff that can be unlocked hidden in the phone.

@jcase has said Sunshine will support the Bolt but Android 7.0 must be supported 1st...

We are working on 7.0 support, we will have to build a device profile and test after 7.0 works. Probably just need to dump some data off a bolt, but may need to buy/borrow one.

@jcase let me know if you need any more partitions, or anything else dumped... Worse case I can send you mine.

Full root with Su support in other thread
This will no longer be maintained. Links will still stay good for those wishing to use this. Please go to the magisk forum page for related questions to his root tools.

Thank you for the support!

I actually just switched to this method after s-off, due to safetynet failing after detecting a unlocked bootloader...magisk can hide the detection

 

[Team DevDigitel]

I've done some research on safety net. What instances are people needing to pass the safety net check? Google api isn't stopping any of my processes or apps. Even banking etc. Is this directed towards things like android pay?

yep...AP is my only goal

there's a kernel patch to bypass detection but I don't know squat about kernel modding
