RECOVERY AND ROOT
REQUIREMENTS:
S-OFF, Java SDK, HTC Drivers Installed and HTC SYNC UNINSTALLED
First make sure you have the requirements before starting.[/NOTE]
[INFO]
HOW TO INSTALL RECOVERY:
Download the Recovery image:TWRP RECOVERY IMAGE
Open a command prompt and change the directory to where you have your "sdk\tools" folder installed.
For me it looks like this... C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\
Place the downloaded image file into the same directory.
Reboot phone into Bootloader. "Vol Down + Power"
Select Fastboot
Once your phone is in Fastboot mode run this command from the command prompt.
"fastboot flash recovery C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img" - WITHOUT THE QUOTATIONS.
Once it completes tell the Bootloader to Reboot phone.
TADA! Now you have a working Recovery![/INFO]
[WARN]
BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE....
Reboot into Bootloader and choose Recovery.
MAKE A BACKUP!
Now you are good to go! Next is root...[/WARN]
[INFO]
PERMA-ROOT
For root you need to flash this .zip
Download here: Superuser Zip
In order to achieve root..
Download the su.zip and copy the zip file to the ROOT of your SDCARD.
Boot into Recovery
Choose "Install Zip"
Then "Choose Zip To Flash"
Then select the "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip"
Once it completes, reboot and you now have ROOT access!
