How do I know if my Sprint HTC EVO 3D has HBOOT 1.5? Sorry if dumb question...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sethmh88:

Hey I just got a HTC ThunderBolt (VZW) do you know a program that does work for this phone to get full ROOT access (Flash Roms and SuperUser Perm) It doesn't have to be a one click method I am capable to do some work for it While I Def. don't know how all this works I can follow steps and know a little I rooted My Driod Eris with unrevoked.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kettch19:
Power off your phone completely then hold the Power+VolumeDown buttons simultaneously. Let go of the power button and it should bring up a white screen with a menu. The first couple lines of the screen give device information along with the HBOOT version that is loaded.

Hope that helps.

HTC EVO 4G User

I just tried running it. Followed instructions to download the RAR file, unzip it to temp directory on my laptop (Win 7 Pro x64), connected HTC EVO with USB cable, USB debugging enabled. I'm up to date on all uploads, android version 2.3.3, etc.

My HTC EVO has 4 choices of connect. "Charge only", "Disk Drive", "HTC Sync", or "Tether". Instructions don't say which modem to envoke. I tried all 4 with same (non) results.

BAT file opens DOS window, slow title appears 1 char at a time, then repeats, then a credit screen opens & flashes color backgrounds. I never get to the menu screen or any other message (like an error message).

That's it... Nothing happens. Tried all 4 connection modes, without change.

Yes, My laptop recognized the phone as an Android Phone, will open in "disk drive" mode to allow access to SD card. Will connect via all four modes.

When I do the boot with power / volume down, I get white screen with the following info:

SUPERSONIC EVT2-2 SHIP S-ON

Superuser crashes

I ran steps one and two on my EVO shift 2.3.3. I got root access for I used a tool called "root checker basic" but when I tried to use the root access superuser crashed so I ran step 2 again and the same thing. No matter what I do superuser crashes and then I lose root. Does anyone know why superuser would be crashing and what I can do to fix it? I have not tried step 3 yet do I need if all I want to do is remove some system apps to have more room on my phone? :mad:

It does't work with my brother's Wildfire S
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Theonew:
That's called temp-root. You'll probably have to use something else to permanently root your device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] retrokevin:
This was discussed and buried earlier in the thread.

You can keep SuperUser from crashing by updating it in the market but the root still vanishes eventually even without rebooting.

In conclusion this tool almost does but in the end it does not work with Evo Shift on 2.3.3

Does this S-Off the Cha Cha?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamsmiley:
I did update superuser and still loses root like you said. At the begin it says it does work but I'm finding it does not. Do you know any other roots that work for 2.3.3?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] retrokevin:
The only option to perm root a Shift on 2.3.3 is to downgrade to 2.2 and root then. Check out the Evo Shift forums on here to learn how to do that.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nunyabinniz:
Hey, lookit that! Another noob!

Anyways. *ahem*.. So I bought an HTC Amaze from Telus, and I'm fedup with the bloatware and the fact that I have no choice but to have facebook installed on it. If I log out and remove my facebook login and clear the cache, it nags me to keep logging in and all the rest. I just want facebook OFF my phone.

Will rooting/unlocking do that, and de-brand it as a telus phone and strip all their crappy extras off of it? I'm not really looking to do anything "extra" with it, I just want to use it the way *I* want to use it, not the way a corporation tells me THEY want me to use it.

Also, as far as ICS goes, if I unlock/root the phone, is it possible to get ICS on when it's released? As it is, I'm not keen on waiting several months for Telus to add their branding and bloatware to it and then release it to me.

Cheers!

You have to put the Unlock_code.bin in the same folder as run.bat not in the root folder itself.

---------- Post added at 05:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 AM ----------

Was able to get it to work for a friends HTC sensation in 5 mins.

Installed superuser and root uninstaller from market before i started.

Installed Htcdrivers.

Open run.bat

Select option 3

right click and copy the device id

(make sure you include begins here and ends here lines, and not to include word info in each line)

Went to Htcdev, register account, click unlock bootloader, and follow to step where it asks you to paste device id. click submit and recieved email instantly with Unlock_code.bin file

Dowload file to same folder as run.bat not inside the root folder.

and went back and performed step 1 and 2.

Reboot and permanent root.

Be careful though what i didnt know was when it unlocked bootloader it "factory reset" the phone. Luckily i had everything synced so it was back to as it was before unlocking in minutes.

Every time I choose option 3 (sim unlock) the hboot doesn't show s-off. That basically means its not unlocked right?

MYTOUCH 4g slide

Hi, I am trying to make it work on Mytouch 4g slide,

I was able to get the device id, and also get the unlock_code.bin file from htcdev.com

It says the token matched successfully but nothing happens where its supposed to ask me YES or NO to continue unlocking the bootloader, and warranty void warning,

nothing shows up?

anyone else try it on mytouch 4g slide?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] asianbobo15:
Do it per HTC's instructions, not by the super tool. It happened to me too.

Drop the unlock_code.bin into the fastboot folder, and fastboot the unlock code manually.

anything else i should try

Testing it out on Wildfire S

First off: Thank YOU FRIGID!!!!!:D and everyone else who has been testing this super Tool. Haters are going to hate, so leave them at it.

I am trying it out on my Wildfire S but I am getting the "out of memory" error for step 2.

Step 1 seems to work, although I had to try it more than once.

Step 3 did "work" to get S-Off, although when the phone rebooted it didn't stick. The other times I tried it said out of memory, so I am deleting apps and stuff trying to make some room.

I'll try again later on and post a video with errors or success, we'll see.:)

EDIT: I can't install Superuser.apk not sure if its because the root didn't work or because I don't have space, I am total noob btw
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GuyInDogSuit:
The root didn't work. Apparently the memory is flooded or something until you reboot. Try Super1Click or Universal Androot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] beatdroppah:

looking for some assistance

Please excuse this post as I have seen something I overlooked and am trying to work through it now :)

Hello

I am looking for some assistance. not a total noob as I came from using other phone I rooted and had some roms on, however, not an expert by any means.

I ran the tool and assumed I should proceed through steps in order.

Step 1 seemed to go fine, however, step 2 was unsuccessful.

I believe there was failures in moving, creating, copying files.

I am on an HTC Amaze with Wind in Canada.

Any suggestions.?

I then tried to unlock bootloader from htc dev as I didn't think this mattered when I did this in any specific order, however, at the step where it is asking to ensure you have java, google installer, .. all current, the other file (windows only) is that referring to the computer's OS or the phones?

I am guessing the phones as the amaze is not listed, so I think I can just install the other 2 files and proceed?

Thank you for your help

Although I am not an expert I would like root access to delete bloatware, sense, get ICS and other apps that require root.

Many thanks

Good to know the Desire HD works with this. I'll be getting one soon. For S-Off, just select that option. It probably won't work though, as it doesn't work with a lot of devices right now. It might be better to use the HTC Dev boot unlocker.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kfu3000:
Hi, rooting noob here (kind of - successfully rooted an HP touchpad to run Android/CM7), but still not super root expert.

I am trying to root my HTC EVO Design 4G and followed the steps with this HTC Super Tool v2.

I get to #4 to unlock the bootloader - even creating an htcdev account and downloading the unlock code, but I can't seem to get it to find the unlock_code.bin even though I put it in the root folder of the htcsupertoolv2.

I just keep getting an error that it can't find the unlock code file and then taking me back to the main menu. Any help?

Also, is the phone "rooted" with the bootloader still locked? (i.e. can I wifi tether for free and remove bloat?)

Finally (sorry so many questions), I understand the S-OFF is just a place holder - is that still the case, because I can't seem to get it to work. I read through about 20+ pages to see if I could find the answers to my Q's, but figured it might be easier to make a post here rather than reading 70 pages.

Thanks for any assistance!

I am also a newbie to this. Frigid is still working on getting s-off, and until you get s-off, you aren't able to flash custom roms, IF I am understanding correctly.

Thanks again to Frigid and everyone here. It was great being able to remove the sprint bloatware, and it keeps getting better.
