They repaired my screen. But they also upgraded my phone and removed ROOT. Plz Help

Hi folks. Please help me out. My screen got a crack in it...
I sent in in last week and got it back today. They did replace the screen, but they did also remove my root and all. (Updated firmware.) And i hope it will not be a pain in the ass to ROOT it again.? Do i need to downgrade?
This is what i got now:

Did they repair it for free (warranty) or did you have to pay because you had root?

Thanks. I did read that guide and i have searched. And i got hboot 1.01.0000 ....
Looks a bit tricky. I dont know if i need to create a goldcard. last time i rooted, it worked without a goldcard. Here in sweden this phone is not locked or anything...
So i will skip the goldcard bit...I think ...hmm.
I did not have to pay because i had root. But i had to pay 500 SEK.
Warranty. Its about 50 USD...Soo i had to pay with or without root.
For a new glass. But im annoyed that they updated the firmware without my permission. thats all. I had my phone exactly as i wanted it. Now its fabricated default, and i dont like it.

I dont have to create a goldcard to root. Because this phone is not operator locked.
Anyway. Does this guide work also?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725430
Or do i have to use this first? http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-legend-legend-modaco-com/323201/downgrading-from-froyo-ota/
I need to read up one or two days i think. I do not want to mess up and brick it. But bricking the phone is pretty hard i guess...
Hmm. Thanks for the response. This is a great forum with allot of info. I just need to know where to start exactly.
This one should be the most easy one. http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-legend/
But its the downgrade thing i need to work out first last time i rooted i just ran some .bat files with that guide and it was done. easy as pie.

Of topic, I'm in Sweden and have a Legend with a cracked screen. Where did you get your phone fixed?

Is this s-off, s-on in the way? I guess my phone has s-on.
I cant even get root with the command promt. When i type: su , i get access denied.
Dont know why really. I used temproot and all.

DoNe.
I managed to get root after posting last time.
Then i followed this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894465 ....And now i got ROOT :]
Thanks for this forum. Awesome. Now im running CM6. But i wanna try this one out.

But i dont know if it just works from the sd card with rom manager? Or do i have to create partitions and stuff? If so, im going with CM6...

If you don't want apps2sd or data2ext, you don't need to create partitions...

This is off topic but did HTC repair your phone? If so, your pretty lucky you got it fixed without extra charges to unroot the phone. At least that's what I was told they do.

HTC didn't repair his phone. His insurance company sent it to a third party repair shop (anovo). And it cost him 500SEK.

Okay that makes sense.

Omnius 4 day promo period starting tonight!

I got an email from omnius support , following :
"The bootloader is unlocked automatically during the unlock of S1 QSD8250 and S1 MSM7227 phones
Added explicit menu option for unlocking bootloader of S1 QD8250/MSM7227/MSM8x55(T) phones.
It does almost the same as the network unlock operation.
Once you have an unlocked bootloader, you may freely reflash the phone without any limitations" .
And for promo period :
"4 days promotion period is coming: All Omnius's features are going to be for free.
When? During Easter: since 6th April 2012, 00:00 UTC until 9th April 2012, 23:59 UTC.
All you need is to have any Omnius account (no license or credit will be required). For those who still don't have it, you can register on this website to get one.
Prepare your android phones and help us spread this news around the Globe.
Enjoy!

how to sim unlock htc wildfire!

ok this is to try clear up the amount of people posting for this.
there are only 2 ways of doing this.
1. BUY a unlock code!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. use xtc clip to gain s-off supercid and sim unlock.
there is no free way!!!!!!!
unless your device has RADIO S-0FF. NOT revolutionary s-0ff as it is a hboot patch. if you are radio s-off ( highly unlikely as it would need to be shipped s-0ff. )( only other way is xtc clip, but then you would already have sim unlock) then unzip and put the attached file (.nbh) on the root of your sdcard. boot to bootloader. then clear s58 data. this WILL factory reset your device!!!
Again there is NO FREE WAY. NO SOFTWARE WE HAVE CAN DO IT!!!

I hunted all over the internet to get my phone unlocked. I used another site but the code never came through, i found this site i used live chat to confirm they had the code, i ordered and i got the code with 15 mins and it worked first time and it was the cheapest i found compared to other companies.

Keep in mind that there's always a free way. Just call your service provider and they will send you an unlock code for your phone within 48 hours. The catch is that you need to have an account in good standing. If you don't, you can always fall back on HTC SIM Unlock. I've used them a few times over the years and even got a refund since they coudn't unlock my ancient imate JAM. http://www.htcsimunlock.com/#oid=1096_1

you need to boot into bootloader using volume down and power after the phone is off. if the white screen says s-off and does not say revolutionary then you have either already used an xtc clip, and the phone will be sim unlocked, or it was sent out like that. if you run the diag.nbh it will clear the security data for the phone, but it will only run if you are radio s-off. it will remove sim lock, and give you supercid so you can run any ruu. as a side effect it will wipe all data from your rom.
so, if you are radio s-off this will give you sim unlock. but it will factory reset your phone in the process so back up what you can

Hi all,
I got my HTC One back from Vodafone repair centre with a note stating, that due to the time and expense of fixing the problem (raised glass screen) they have sent me another phone. To my delight when I checked the hboot and rom version, I saw it was hboot 1.44 and ROM 4.1.1........... S-OFF here I come............. ...
I nipped out for a couple of hours and when I came back without thinking applied the bloody updates from OTA which updated the hboot to 1.54 and JB 4.2.2 :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

How To | M8 Hong Kong | Downgrade with S-ON | To S-OFF

Out of the Box, my M8 comes with 1.60.708.2.
I've been so upset that I can't go S-OFF with Firewater.
As for Sunshine method, in-app payment declined my credit cards (Myanmar).
And even with my Fav custom ROM, due to base OS difference, there were problems with boot time, boot logo, ...
Finally I found this site
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7496959-1-1.html
These are what I did.
Stock Nandroid backup and Stock recoveries downloaded from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
1. I firstly restored to 1.60.708.2 by restoring Stock Nandroid from that thread via TWRP recovery.
2. Restored to Stock recovery from that thread.
3. Relocked the bootloader.
4. Download this and rename to HBOOT.zip
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2359888657&uk=622017286
Download this and rename to 0P6BIMG.zip
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2360886064&uk=622017286
5. Enter RUU mode by the command:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then flash HBOOT by
fastboot flash zip HBOOT.zip
6. Then, transfer the downloaded 0P6BIMG.zip to the root of mSD via Card Reader, then insert to the phone.
7. Reboot to bootloader by
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ROM flashing will start automatically.
It will take a long time to complete.
Then ur phone will boot up with 1.54.708.5 downgraded OS.
8. Then Unlock Bootloader.
9. Flash TWRP recovery.
10. Root with SU zip in TWRP.
11. Finally, use Firewater to get S-OFF.
DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY
I've tried this method and now with SuperCID

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you.
buying two devices doesn't make 25 dollar for a s-off (per device) cheap. Developers have been offering such services on XDA free for years. And there are always people who are willing to donate to appreciate their effort.
Remember there was a bounty thread where people were willing to pay up to 2 grand for s-off. But the devs asked us to pay a premium price per device, and that's just not in the spirit of XDA.
This is just my two cents. and you have every right to disagree with me.

Of course I am going to disagree. Another take-for-granted user.

will this work on all gsm unbranded m8's?

Will this work for whelped users?

Any idea if it works with VZW? If so would I just RUU a stock ROM afterwards?

I'm sorry friends.
I'm just an end user and just sharing my experience with my Hong Kong version of M8y with this method, which perfectly ok on downgrading and then S-Off'ing my Device.
I don't know it will work on other devices or not.
Anyway, mine was also a whelped device with 1.60.708.x.

I don't know it will work on other devices or not.
Anyway, mine was also a whelped device with 1.60.708.x.

Thanks for this. Worked a treat. I didn't need to downgrade the ROM just the bootloader and firewater worked!

You have a unbranded m8? R you in the USA or no? Just wondering myself I didn't need this as I'm s-off since day 1.

Was it whelp, it has been patched, or whelp, no amount of flashing will help?

Yes, patched.
And succeeded with this method.
Again, mine is Hong Kong version m8y.
