[HOW TO] MiUI 2.8.3 | DS

Okay, to make this clear, Im re-making the tutorial from miuiandroid forum, which is a little bit complicated if you are in noob mode.
So, first of all, to have MIUIv4 installed on your DS, you need the hboot 7.0. If you already have hboot 7.0 , follow from step 1, if you dont have hboot 7.0 follow all from step A :
Download this first : http://bigota.d.miui.com/tools/g12_v4_tools_20120724.zip
A. Rename PG88IMG_hboot_7.0.zip to PG88IMG.zip
B. Put it in your sd card root.
C. Reboot to bootloader from device, or use adb command ( adb reboot bootloader). Once you in bootloader, make sure it's not on fastboot, get back to bootloader, and it will detects the PG88IMG by itself, and confirmation for update will be shown, just press the vol up button to flash it.
D. It will reboot somehow. Delete the PG88IMG in your sd card root.
E. continue on step 1
1. Rename PG88IMG_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTCCN_CHS_3.07.1400.2_Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.310_release_266765_signed.zip to PG88IMG.zip
2. Put it in your sd card root.
3. Reboot to bootloader from device, or use adb command ( adb reboot bootloader). Once you in bootloader, make sure it's not on fastboot, get back to bootloader, and it will detects the PG88IMG by itself, and confirmation for update will be shown, just press the vol up button to flash it. It's easy, but this PG88IMG is big, so it will take like 5 minutes to load.
4. Reboot.
5. wait untill it finish starting up, you may skip the first time setup or complete it.
6. Delete PG88IMG from your sd card.
6. Now it is time to flash recovery image as you dont have recovery yet.
7. reboot device into fastboot usb
8. in the folder adb, there's flash_recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.bat , run it as it will flash cmw recovery image in your DS.
- if you have error such as multiple device detected or what so ever, open up adb shell and run adb kill-server .
9. Reboot into recovery, full wipe
10. And flash miuiandroid_saga-2.8.3

am i right in thinking that as im on hboot 6.98.1002, s-off with revolutionary, and radio 3831.17.00.16_M i need to do all but the last two steps 8-9 as i already have 4ext recovery?
i think my radio is the same actually, but i may flash again to be sure

To boot in the bootloader you can also power off the phone and then press the volume down and the power button at the same time.
But the fastboot commands later probably won't work if adb doesn't ...

[Q] I've made a huge mistake, is my HOX still salvageable?

Hello,
I just want to say that please don't say "you should have read instructions more carefully...etc" its too late for that. I'm just trying to see if its possible to get my HOX working again so its not a brick. So please, if you can help me, I will gladly donate to you.
I have a HTC ONE XL (AT&T). I saw a thread today on XDA saying 2.2 was able to be rooted, so I decide to root my HOX. It took a lot of courage, but I was able to root it and unlock the bootloader.
Everything was going great, I decided to flash CM10, the newest one: cm-10-20121025-EXPERIMENTAL-evita.zip. along with gapps-jb-20121011-signed.
First mistake: I did not backup
Recovery is TWRP v2.3.1.0
I wiped cache, dalvik cache, and system, then flashed CM10
Then i flashed GAPPS
I thought I had everything in the bag, rebooted it and let it do its thing. People say the first boot took long time (~5 mins) I gave it 10 mins. Nothing, its stuck on the boot loop.
Then I retried this 2 other times, same thing.
I panicked and accidentally hit factory reset, and managed to clear everything, both of the flashable files (CM10 and GAPPS) from my HOX, now all i can do is go into TWRP recovery. If i try to reboot into bootloader system or recovery it says "NO OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"
So please, can anyone help me, this was a very costly mistake, but I'm trying to fix it.
CLIFFS:
-Made mistake of not backing up
-Now only boots to TWRP, no flashable files.

First of all bro, you did everything right in the first place except flash the boot.img seperate using fastboot. That's why you bootlooped bc you had no kernel.
Second, don't worry lol. plug in phone to your computer and enter twrp, choose "mount". Get on your computer and download Rom of choice. Once downloaded, extract Rom and seperate the boot.img. rezip Rom. Transfer Rom onto phone.

Hi inflatedtitan,
Thanks for replying, you are a lifesaver, i almost bought another phone... because i thought i was done for.
However, im not sure what you mean exactly as i have not done this flashing before. so i downloaded the rom cm10.
1. so i unizip the rom on my computer
2. copy rom onto phone
3. flash??
thanks please clarify thanks again.
ur a lifesaver.
EDIT: when i hit mount, there are 4 boxes, what do i check (i cant select SD card)? and when i hit mount, it shows up on my computer but asks me to format disk. should i do it?!

As you already factory reseted and lost everything, you should format as the damage is already done lol, it'll get your sdcard back right. But when you extract cm10 on your computer you'll see the boot.img in the folder. Move it to where you have adb and fastboot. THEN rezip Rom and transfer to your phone.

Yes exactly, then run fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that is done, open TWRP and run the zip file

Rom will have excluded boot.img . Try it out and see what happens as you recapped. I'm not so sure as your running fastboot through the xfactor program.. but try it out, worst case is you bootloop like last time. If that happens again, you know to download android SDK tools, adb and fastboot and reinstall HTC drivers and start over
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

They are many simple tutorials for rooting but do not know why you guys having hard time. Ok here is
1) You got Android SDK from google + Platform-tools + Google USB Driver -
2) Only for windows - Download htc sync ( It will install necessary htc drivers) - Link
3) Just to check if htc drivers installed properly , open "C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" ( Or folder where adb and fastboot exists) then "Press shift + right click and select "Open command window here" ( open command prompt and cd "folder where adb and fastboot exists).
4) In command window type " adb devices" and see output - If you get output then htc drivers installed properly.
You can skip step 3 and step 4 - These steps are only for verification
5) Goto [ROOT] HTC One X AT&T 2.20 Firmware - X-Factor root exploit and follow the instructions there.
6) Once you successfully root your device using above exploit then goto - [How To] Flash Custom recovery and ROMS after 2.20 root complete the steps to flash custom recovery and if you want to flash ROMS
7) To unlock BOOT LOADER use this link - [INDEX] AT&T/ROGERS One X Resources Compilation Roll-Up , follow the instructions under " BOOTLOADER UNLOCK, SUPER CID, AND S-OFF"
You can also goto this link - [ROOT][2.20] One XL Bootloader unlock & Root guide By XsMagical - Very nice tutorial, if you find above links difficult to follow
Note* : During exploit or flashing recovery they talk about using fastboot commands, In order to execute them you need goto C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" ( Or folder where adb and fastboot exists) then "Press shift + right click and select "Open command window here" ( open command prompt and cd "folder where adb and fastboot exists) and then execute the commands ..

uhh guys so i did the whole fastboot thing, everything looked great. but when i try to go back to recovery, im stuck at the htc quietly brilliant
"this build is for development purpose only
do not distribute..." screen. I cant get back to recovery!?
Sorry for being such a noob, i really appreciate your guyses help.

Try it a couple times, if that doesn't work reflash recovery.

Any progress bro?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

you don't delete boot.img from the rom, leave the original zip untouched. just make sure you flash boot.img in fastboot though. whenever i flash something in fastboot i like to run "fastboot erase cache".
NEVER factory reset in bootloader, it will mess up your sdcard.
you should rewipe and reflash everything in twrp. also verify the md5 checksums of cm10 and gapps both the md5 sums are listed at their download locations.

yep that's another thing i've asked all the querying noobs to do, changing the op to [SOLVED] when it is but to no avail :crying:

sry guys it took very long, i followed all your instructions and finally fixed it last night. I went straight to sleep because of work. Thanks again for your help, sorry for late restponse:
my solution: I followed INFLATEDTITAN's instructions. double click the cm10 rom, then take out the boot.img, copy that to where your fastboot files are, SHIFT right click, select CMD (or open cmd and use cd to change directory to folder), then type what he said w/ fastboot, make sure your connected. Then i flashed the cm10 rom, the gapps, reboot, took a couple tries.
Anyways, it works great, so smooth.... on wifi.
I have stragiht talk, and I've been getting really crappy speeds for data, from 5Mbps to 0.16.... down, interestingly, upload has not changed ~1.2 mbps. does anyone have any insight? Why DL is so slow but UL is still the same?

Can you tell me how to edit my post? i can only edit the content, not the title.
Also I have a question on radios. From this thread: (click "this")
I have the latest cm10 nightly build, as I said in my previous post, I am on straight talk. While the radio is showing HSPA+, I'm getting edge speeds (0.16mbps) but good upload speed ~1.2mbps.
Can I use the AT&T 2.2 radio from this list? (near the bottom)
Radios for Latest CM10 versions (with radio in /system/etc/firmware)
I just rooted my phone from 2.2, and want to make sure I'm using the right one.
Thanks.

Sorry bro, can't flash radios and RILs being you have the newer hboot
Sounds like you're into aosp roms. But usually the newer sense Roms are just as amazing and usually are updated with the newer radio. However I'm using old hboot, so I can't confirm that if you flash a Rom, the included radio will also automatically flash. Can anyone reading help with the correct answer?

Help! Brick?

Just got the HTC One S( HTC branded S4 edition). I unlocked the boot loader, rooted , flash a recovery , and then installed CM10. Everything went well until the final install , when the Cyanogen Boot was stuck. I have no idea what I did afterwards, but now the SD is unmounted. It doesn't boot up to HTC stock , the HTC developer pages just open and stays on .. I could fastboot. I backed up everything, but somehow everything got deleted.
What to do? I need help!

Sounds to me like you forgot to flash the kernel, then did something else wrong afterwards in the attempt to fix. I have the S3 version, but I had a similar problem with the ROM getting stuck, then my recovery was unable to mount the SD. There are 2 options, one is to use fastboot to re-lock your device, and flash the latest RUU for your CID, or you can adb sideload a ROM if you are using TWRP. I would probably go for the RUU anyway because it is the easiest. Just go into the bootloader, choose 'fastboot', use the command to re-lock the bootloader (I just use the All-In-One Tool) and then run the RUU when the phone is in fastboot mode, the phone will then be good as new (except for the Tampered warning in bootloader, but that can be remedied with the S4 version)

This happened to me just flash TWRP wipe everything and get another ROM on there

[Q] Will factory reset, relock my bootloader?

Hello all. I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone, or so I thought. Somehow, I did not completely root my phone. Busybox installer would not load. I ran root checker and it said my root was not complete. My questio is, if I were to do a factory reset, would my bootloader relock? Thanks

No it wouldn't. Does it say unlocked in purple? Can't remember the specific exploit directions. But you can flash twrp using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.IMG" (obviously change twrp.img to the name or hit tab) and flash a rooted ROM. Haven't done any of the exploits up here, but of you clicked on rooted in my SIG, its a great site you out. Skip to the part after unlocking the bootoader.

Yes. When I have it in bootloader mode, it had changed from locked to unlocked. Thanks for your help.

Did you install custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash SuperSU or SU, or flash a rooted ROM. Because you need to do that to actually have root (after unlocking the bootloader).

I am fairly certain that is correct. An RUU won't run with a bootloader unlocked unless you are S-OFF and still would not relock. nothing else would touch the bootloader.

I followed the instructions and slashed the recovery, twrp I think it was and I got stumped after there. I am relatively new to rooting. I unlocked both my N7 and N4 a week ago with Wugfresh's toolkit and that was relatively simple for and old guy like me. I will most likely have to go to his website and get complete instructions and try it again.

well i can help you, i recommend going with twrp and flashing a SU zip file. this post is reserved, and will be back to edit...
Edit; Ok, so in this post is two files you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1907931&d=1366808637
and http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip
Download both of these files.
Put UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip on the root on your SD card (basically transfer the zip to your phone)
I downloaded the 2.3.3 twrp img file, since that is the most stable for me. If you want to upgrade to 2.5, then be my guess, but others say it is a problem. i have flashed sense roms and aosp roms with no problems. also, pleae read both paragraphs before attempting to do something. if you do not understand, feel free to comment or pm me. i tried to make it as simple as possible.
So first off download the zip, and extract the folder to a simple location (desktop or c:\). i am going to assume you extracted it to c:\. open up a command prompt by going to Start and typing in "cmd" a black window should pop up. type in "cd c:\rootphone." you are already rooted, but it was already the name of my folder. anywho, turn your phone completely off, and go into the bootloader. i assume you know how to do this, since you were able to read off your hboot details. it is the white screen with colorful text. then select fastboot in red. once a usb connection is plugged in, it should turn to fastboot usb. now in the command prompt (black window on the pc), you need to type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-evita.img (hint: you can type open and hit tab, and it will finish it for you). now you have twrp installed. now boot into recovery, and go tap on Install. find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip, tap it, and then slide to flash. your if successful, your phone should be rooted. go ahead hit reboot, and re-run root checker.
To anyone else (i.e. Venomtester or exad) if i have incorrect info, please let me know

Looks good to me lol. But a more simple method to open the command window is to download adb to desktop. Then all they have to do is open the folder and right-click somewhere away from the files and it will give the option to open command window here. That way they can put the images in the folder and never have to leave it. They tend to mess up hunting the folder down from windows cmd.

I also get an error report every time. Any guggestions? I have tried to use the commands on the tool kit to get it into bootloader mode but no success.

Ok I got it into bootloader mode. I forgot to let go of the power buton when the screen went black.

OK just re do it again. Hold down power and volume down (or is it up? I get this confused with Samsung sometimes)

Problem flashing custom recovery

Hate to start a new thread on something that is probably an easy fix but no one will respond when i replied to hasoons guide. Anyways I am trying to flash a custom recovery but it always gets stuck saying "sending 'recovery' (7992 KB)" I have tried 5+ times and always end up having to hold the power button because nothing will work. The phone is frozen until i unplug the usb, and the terminal on my pc freezes. I also tried the latest version of twrp (2.6) and it said the flash was successful but whenever i go back into recovery it is still stock. My bootloader is unlocked, I have an att one x with android 4.1.1 and software # 3.18 (if it even matters)
Honestly i could care less about the recovery i just need root access. I wont be flashing a custom rom or anything. Can i keep the stock recovery and root my phone?

Yes it says Evita. Sorry, i thought it was the right section.
but seriously can anyone help me? I have tried so many different things to flash a recovery and NOTHING works. When i hold the power + volume down button when the red exclamation mark is showing up the 3 lights on the front flash a few times and the phone reboots. It will not even go into recovery anymore. Do i just have a bad phone or what?

I know you need answers but please continue this in the correct AT&T HTC one XL forum. If somebody comes along and says to flash this and that might even brick your phone completely !

Ask a mod to close or move this one. Or create a new one there indeed
edit :
thread reported, to move it or close it.
Good luck and all the best.

Thread is now in the Q&A section.

Just flash the recovery manually using fastboot. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can select recovery from your bootloader to enter TWRP recovery.
