hey guys I'm new to android phones, however I've always loved hacking my devices. I've been reading up on rooting and unlocking the bootlaoder, as well as following this post. I have a couple questions though if anyone would like to answer them.

1. If I root my phone with this program, then s-on will still be on? If that's the case what is the difference in capabilities if it is rooted with s-on compared to s-off, would it still be worth it?

2.I'm kinda slow on this one :P I just need a little help on installing the drivers first, I checked the dev page with the walkthrough but that confused me only because I don't know at which point to install the driver. I have to be on my recovery(hboot) menu and select fastboot or something, the directions confused me because I believe the different phones vary in their hboot menu. I'm using a evo design.

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] El Ha$on:
Not sure about the unlocking the bootloader as I haven't done it, but for S-off...In a nutshell, S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. So basically a rooted phone with S-on means you superuser rights within your system. You can remove system apps and make other changes to system files.

With a rooted phone and S-off you do everything I mentioned plus change system images, and load custom ROMs onto the device. As well as kernels and any other developments that come about.

For the unlocking of the bootloader I believe u need to have the drivers installed before you start the process. Using the supertool, then going to the htcdev site and get the token copy that token after receiving it and paste it into the supertool. You should be golden but not 100% sure.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HampTheToker:
Lol. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. In any case, it certainly shows that you really really want S-off so we can move forward with development.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HampTheToker:
Did S-off work for you? I'm not near my computer, but I'll give it a go once I am.

And, I thought Mobile Hotspot pretty much made wireless tether superfluous...did I miss something?

Much respect, frigid. You're single-handedly building the basis for the Evo Design community. I bet we'll get more development since ICS was announced for this device, too. Good stuff, man.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frigid:
You have to pay for the mobile hotspot. Not with wireless tether.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KillerNut:
My first post here.

Frigid,

Thank you SO MUCH for all your hard work in getting this put together. With this utility I was able to root my Evo Design 4G with no issues.

As another poster stated, I am also not able to get the Wireless Tether to work. I ran the exploit in this tool, and it says it worked successfully. When I start tethering, in the log I get an error: Activating WiFi interface failed. The network is created, and my PC can connect to it, but there is no internet access. FYI I'm running Android 2.3.4.

Thanks again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HampTheToker:
I get the same error when attempting to tether.

I attempted S-off, but I don't think it was successful.

But I have been trying to root my Shift running 2.3.3 with it and can't get it to work. The process seems to go off without a hitch but when I try to confirm root with the root check app it says I don't have root. Today I actually managed to get root and the super user app was installed but when I went to check root I was asked for superuser permission but then Superuser force closed and when I reran root check it said it couldn't get root.

My dad and stepmom both just got MyTouch 4G's for a 'great price of free' (they are dumb). I put launcher pro on it, but it still runs pretty badly... They don't like all the crapware there either, (also what is with the horribly ugly theme?)

I am wondering if I can use this tool to root, S-Off (I think? I use moto, not htc so idk the terms), use titanium backup to blast the crapware, s-on, and unroot?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] El Ha$on:
Rooting will allow you to uninstall the crapware. S-off won't work yet but we have hopes that it will in the future.

You can definitely use titanium to get rid of bloatware. Which just requires a root. S-off is more if you want to load custom ROMs. And other things. Please remember any type of tapering voids warranty. Make sure they understand before doing it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] retrokevin:
Ok so I did get it to root my Evo Shift for a moment. Did a battery pull and tried again and it still didn't give me actual root access though I had SuperUser installed. I noticed in my Market SuperUser had an update so I updated that and tried again. This time everything worked great and Root Check ran fine and SuperUser had it listed! But later on the root access just went away...

So still messing around. Any suggestions?

Edit: I think it has something to do with the SD Card unmounting.

Just ran the script. Titanium Backup can't detect root, and after reboot it is gone.

It's not going to work though.

YOU

need to go to htcdev and get your own Unlock_code.bin file and use it. I enclosed the other one for development purposes if someone wants to compare them. But unless you have MY phone you will need to register with htcdev, follow the instructions on the site, check your e-mail for the code and then follow the instructions either in this tool or in the e-mail. By the way... you can't unlock your bootloader without a computer. Just FYI. Figured I would mention that since about 99% of your posts are used by the XDA app. :rolleyes:

The commands won't make a difference...if u have an HTC you have to go to htcdev.com and follow the instructions for your phone.

Do you really think this community would be built if people accepted "this wont work" am willing to go through as many bin's as possible to see what htc is doing to unlock the bootloaders to see if there is a pattern and p figure out how its done..
