4.2.2 is here for boost k2_cl

Hi ModdingMyMind,

-I just want to let you know that last night i did the ota 4.4.2 update on my phone. everything worked fine. phone is working good,some changes i did not like them that much, but overall, system is working faster than before and the good news for me and perhaps for other people here is that app2sd is still working on this phone after the ota update, so we can optimize the ram memory space.

- I tryied to applied TWRP but i coul not do it... maybe i need keep reading here. I would like to get the step by step beginers guide :).

- Now, regarding the HTC-DEV unlock process, was failure as well, I downloaded the Android SDK tool (my pc is a Win 7 x64), but it seem like the file is no really very friendly- install, plus it said I need java (which i know i have it installed)...any ideas?

Thanks man.

C.

Did you flash the recovery, or just try to "fastboot boot" it like I did?

I'll try again with my linux box when I get home...

Didn't something with adb and/or fastboot change with JB?

Edit: Linux box is out...USB ports on the motherboard quit working...Rats!

In order for me to make a backup of my stock recovery I would have to boot it instead of flashing. Flashing would overwrite the recovery partition and thus prevent the ability to backup the stock recovery.

I noticed the "fastboot" option was turned on when I was trying this... Perhaps that is the difference...

Has nothing to do with it. All that does is boot your device quicker. For example, if you have that option turned on and power your device off you won't be able to get to your bootloader by pressing and holding the volume down and power keys. Instead, it will just boot your device. With it turned off, that is different.

You are correct sir!

What does your bootloader say? Does it say TAMPERED? Mine doesn't...Could that be it? Do I need to lock & unlock again?

Mine says:
Code: 
*** UNLOCKED ***
K2_CL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-SPCS_003
HBOOT-2.21.0000
RADIO-1.12.50.0516
OpenDSP-v10.2.0268.0401
OS-3.05.653.3
uMMC-boot 1024MB
Apr 14 2014,18:55:20.0

EDIT: I had used the previous "dd" hack to get rid of the TAMPERED message. Then I used the RUU to restore to stock before I accepted the OTA upgrade. All that worked flawlessly...

Well well, that is very interesting lol. Tampered is removed. Mine is removed also but only because I hex edited the partition which held it so it wouldn't show that watermark anymore. Even made a guide on the process over at xda. May have shared that guide here also but honestly do not remember.

Otherwise, it should say tampered... Not sure why it isn't though. Are you rooted as well? I can only assume you are since you are S-Off. Unless you haven't rooted since your upgrade.

Nope--that isn't it...I locked & unlocked. Mine still says "UNLOCKED" without "TAMPERED".

Was rooted before OTA.

Can't root without being able to boot TWRP. Too chicken to flash it to recovery before making backup. Perhaps that is my only option at this point...

Here's what my computer says when I try to do this.

The vertical progress bar on the upper right corner goes from bottom to top during the process, the progress bar disappears, and then the handset locks up tight...No messages, either in computer terminal, nor on handset.

What am I doing wrong?

Code: 
$ fastboot boot TWRP_2.7.0.1_K2_CL_422.img 
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [  1.179s]
booting...
OKAY [  0.001s]
finished. total time: 1.181s
$
Here's what the phone looks like...

EDIT: flashing to recovery WORKED. Now able to boot TWRP. Go figure. I saved the OTA zip, so theoretically I have the stock recovery in that file. Yes?

Thank you for your help. This is odd...
 
Are you trying to make a backup of 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? If 4.1.2, then you need to use the un-modded version of twrp.

4.2.2. Was able to backup AFTER flashing the modified TWRP to recovery...

Now, I'm having trouble rooting the crazy thing! Oh the fun of being a phone nerd!
 
I saw another post that someone had used the old Superuser 3.1.3 zip file and was not able to successfully root after the 4.2.2 OTA upgrade. I'm having the same issue...

Can anyone help me get root again? Thank you.

UPDATE: Was able to root by removing the files (/system/bin/su, /system/xbin/su, /system/app/Superuser.apk) from the old Superuser 3.1.3, booting into TWRP, and selecting "reboot"...At that point, it told me the phone wasn't rooted--do you want to root? Clicked "Yes", booted the phone & ran SuperSU, it prompted me to update, I picked the TWRP option, and it downloaded the update, booted to TWRP, installed the update, rebooted. After that, root applications have worked fine...

After that, I extracted the stock recovery from the "firmware.zip" file that was in the 4.2.2 OTA file. I tried doing the "fastboot boot TWRP_file.img" method again. It still doesn't work. Looks like my only option is to flash the TWRP, and then boot from the bootloader menu...
 
Here is my version of TWRP. This one will allow you to backup your recovery as well as many other partitions. Comes with AromaFM built in it. It's my personal one that I use. Just flash it to your recovery partition.

How long should fastboot OEM lock take?
I am sitting at ... For about 5 minutes now.

Well, just to make sure you are aware, but oem is all lowercase.

Secondly, do you still have a Rom on your device? You didn't wipe your system and such? If you did, that may cause some problems...

Ya I used lower case. Should I just unplug? I am afraid the bootloader may be jacked. But it never went passed ... On the cmd prompt.
