2.12.651.8 710RD

That is the update that my design 4g just received, maybe someone will find a way to root it? I really miss my rooted evo 8-(, stupid bad charging port forced me to get a replacement.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] knotrkr:
after following all the steps I got Root, Unlocked Bootloader but no S-Off. When I retry the procedure it just does the same thing. any Idea's? BTW this is an HTC Sensation 4G

---------- Post added at 08:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

Stupid question I know but I can't find an infactic answer to this. If you have an unlocked bootloader and root can you put new roms on and upgrade your firmware without s-off. Sorry I really don't know what s-off means but I always had it before when Revolutionary worked it was easy. I had to get a replacement phone last week so I had to redo all of this and Revolutionary doesn't work and I couldn't get s-off with this supertool so I wondered. This tool is fantastic I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KillerNut:
Checking in for the first time in a long time. I was able to unlock the bootloader but am still in S-On. I keep getting stuck at the step that asks: "Place the Unlock_code.bin file they emailed you in the root folder of this script". I have done exactly that, and I am stuck on this step forever with no result.

Thanks again for all your hard work on this frigid. Anyone else with any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KillerNut:
Sorry for the double reply, but I have a couple of questions in addition.

I am not able to install the HTC Evo Design update, it reboots my phone and stays at the HTC splash screen forever. EDIT: I just noticed the post a long while back which states if you do this upgrade, you will lose root so you shouldn't do it. Well for me the upgrade doesn't complete anyhow.

Would it be smart for me to just disable HTC upgrades alltogether? Also, if I don't get this upgrade, will it prevent me from being able to upgrade to ICS when it is rolled out to the evo design later this year? Ultimately being able to get ICS is what I care about the most.

My SETUP where ACS HTC Super Tool v3 did *NOT* work

:

- EVO 3D (GSM) SIM unlocked, with Android 2.3.4 + Eboot 1.49.018.

The program kept returning errors that could not write or change attributes (or something like this). I tried every possible combination and nothing happened.

I also tried a couple of tutorials out there and nothing worked/was updated.

SOLUTION:

# Before you start you have to download this:

- http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/HTCEvo3D/rooting/rootevo3dnew.zip

- HTC Drivers

- 4EXTRecoveryUpdater.apk (google it)

- Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip (copy it to the microSD)

After downloading that stuff

- HTCDev unlock process + HTC Drivers

- USB Debugging ON

- Install 4EXTRecoveryUpdater.apk & download the latest recovery

- it will download but won´t succeed installing (complaining about Busybox, no root, etc)

Important: in microSD you´ll have now a new file that is the recovery. Check if it´s in .img or .zip (if in .ZIP you see tons of files then rename the .zip to .img!). After that rename it to a simple name like "recovery.img"

- enter in HTC´s Recover (POWER + VOL DOWN for some seconds)

- choose FASTBOOT

- connect to the (WINDOWS) PC thru USB, and run the CMD program (Windows´ command line):

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

- enter in HTC´s Recover (POWER + VOL DOWN for some seconds)

- choose RECOVERY and FLASH ZIP from CARD (and choose the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip on the card)

DONE: Root + Modified Recover + Superuser.

PS: I take no responsabilities if this goes wrong :D it worked very well on mine, otherwise I couldn´t have root access.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Crenshaw-PCGH:
Thank you works good on my HTC wildfire s :D

Had problems with root but no it works!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mcbride731:
i just switched from the Evo Shift to the HTC Design...and it's pretty sad that I have a phone with limited forum coverage here?? also, i've been able to flash recovery and get "unlocked", but I still have S-ON. anyone know of a process that undoes this so far? thanks in advance.

EDIT: my main complaint was that I couldn't even get Titanium Backup and other things needing root permissions to work...my dumb a$$ forgot to flash the su binary lol. after doing this, i now am able to do everything I wanted on my phone with root anyway. life is good <3
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mmick:
Yap, I also bought a brand new Evo 3D and see very little support: first there is a lot of outdated / too different info; second I tried lots of tools and they don´t work with my model; third, after trying ACS HTC Super Tool v3 (also didn´t work) I did the procedures I described some posts ago and I managed root + unlock *but* also S-ON...

In every case my "problem" is that I cannot find info for the following problems:

- Is there a way to update to the latest HTC ROM without updating HBOOT? Or today it is completely equal to have 1.49.018 and 1.50.000? (mine is 1.49.018)

- Is there a ROM Android 4.0 where everything works well? (3D GPU, 3D screen, 3D Photos & video, etc)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] drewskii:
I apologize for the stupid question, but in order for this to work does the phone need to be in recovery mode?

I'm sorry, I was replying to piaa_nissan on post #97.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HampTheToker:
It was quite weird. When I turned the phone off the charge it before I went to sleep, I noticed it seemed like it was still on. I could see the notification bar and nothing else. When I did finally power it on this morning it skipped the splash screen and boot animation and went straight to the lockscreen. It was like it hadn't even been powered down at all.

Other than that and the haptic feedback its working fine. I'm fairly positive its because of something I deleted and has nothing to do with your script, though I can't remember what it could have been. I'll reinstall the RUU around noon.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frigid:
I am working on a recovery and I found a workaround for soff requires the unlocked bootloader though
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HampTheToker:
Reinstalled the RUU and still experienced the loss of haptic issue. I didn't delete anything this time. Kind of dumbfounded, actually. My phone had been performing flawlessly until last night for some reason. I can't be entirely certain, but I think it started after applying wireless tether. It could just as easily be unrelated, I think.

It actually doesn't bother me at all, I just hope it's not a precursor to some other problem. Just thought I'd post this in case it's relevant.

Also, I get this error from time to time upon waking the phone: "com.htc.bg has stopped unexpectedly."
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JimbiJones:
When you de-sense it seems to disable the HTC weather widget, but since your leaving the htc lock screen I now just get "No weather forecasts available." Is there a way to undo the rest of sense but leave that weather enabled for the lock screen? Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] _Cooze_:
Amon RA wipes better IMO.. People still have srcipt issues with CWM but maybe that won't be a proplem with all the updated roms as of late...

Or are you now working on you own recovery?

Super excited about this btw.. can't wait for s-off.. till then, I'll patiently wait. :)

I want to get this phone for my wife and stumbled upon this root method. Is there even a forum for this phone yet, or is it too knew? I'm assuming no recovery or roms yet either right?

Just curious! This phone looks promising!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cbarth3:
chugger93 I recently got this phone for my wife (came from a transform since she wanted a keyboard) and I can say it is a very nice phone. Screen is crisp and reacts quickly.

No forum yet for this model but frigid is looking at starting a site. I have not tried this on hers yet as I would like to have a recovery option to make a backup of her device as it is now before changing to much.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] psyv01:
I feel it is a very promising phone. Me personally, all i want is a custom recovery. Already has sense 3.0 and with root the WiFi tether works. For me I don't need a custom ROM. Just my 2 cents.

sent from my HTC EVO Design 4G(rooted)

I still wonder why XDA hasn't adopted a forum yet for it?

Do you mind sharing how you unlocked your bootloader. Was it via htcdev?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jabbajawz:
I have this phone and it is pretty Awesome. It's fast and with the current root option I was able to remove the bloatware with titanium backup. I of course made a backup of all that I removed.

Sadly though, there are no recovery or ROMs that I have found.

Would this work for my HTC Amaze 4G if I am on Mobilicity....(A Canadian Carrier)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mostage:
I have the HTC 4G Design.

Android Version: 2.3.4

Sense Version: 3.0

Software Number: 2.12.651.8 710RD

PRI Version: 2.97_003

This is a replacement for the original 4g Design. I ran the Super Tool, and accidentally did the Unlock Bootloader Selection first. It rebooted and went to factory, no messages left (which is ok) and now when I try to perform the Unroot, Perm Root, even the Prep function, it gives me the "adp server out of date - killing" Error, then "Daemon started Successfully", then "File or Directory doesn't exist."

Have USB Debugging enabled. Tried running while HTC Sync was running and without it running. No difference.

Any ideas?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ysalamiri:
Ok, since I would like to install Cyanogen, here's what I did:

Unlocked my bootloader with the HTC DEV tool.

Next I'm trying to get root access with this Supertool.

So I select option 1, and then option 3 and reboot the device. Supertool told me everything has worked fine, I got the fancy "ROOTED" flashing screen and everything. But when I check whether I have root acces (with Root Check Basic) it tells me I do NOT have root access.

Anyone? Thanks.

NOD32 detects as malware. Leaving it for now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] regaw_leinad:
My guess is that NOD32 is detecting the local root linux exploits contained in the rar as malware, which, in effect, are a type of malware, but the ones you have been running on your phone yourself to gain root access since rooting started oh-so-long ago.

Just scanned it at VirusTotal.com (I definitely recommend everyone using this site, it's great) and here are the results.

And... yes it does detect the linux exploits only, and NOD32 specifically detects a: Android/Exploit.Lotoor.AT. So before flagging his program as malware, I'd do a little more research.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mmick:
Nothing to worry about, 100% clean. Some anti-virus detect as a thread, because... rooting is a "threat" to a person that does not want it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bangishotyou:
To semi-reiterate what's already been said, it's a false positive. I use Eset Smart Security 5 and it does the same thing on my computer. It's the Zerg Rush exploit that sets off the scanner, it's a known false positive though.

Personally, when I have to use any tool that utilizes the Zerg Rush exploit I just disable Eset for the 10 or so minutes I need to use the tool then enable it again after I'm done.

Rest assured though, there is no malware. Although if you feel uneasy, then obviously don't use the tool. But most of the exploits will set off your antivirus. As great as Eset is (and that's just my personal opinion) it does go off for false positives, not as badly or as often as other antivirus software though (I know, I've tried them all or work with them daily). Between Eset and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware though nothing will hit your system. Personally, I trust Malwarebytes' by itself more than any other antivirus software out there, and if Malwarebytes' doesn't even flinch regarding the Zerg Rush exploit than as far as I'm concerned it's all crying over nothing (regarding the other software I've used ALERT notifications).

Hi,

I've been trying to download the supertoolv3 for the last 24 hours with no luck:

The requested URL 108.166.171.36/goodata/5b14caef9a9022e543fe92aba12fbfeb/4fc17e8d/apps/frigid/htcsupertoolv3.rar was not found on this server.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xhunterx182:
i want to share my experience with a EVO DESIGN 4G, i was triying to unlock bootloader and get root in my device, but this tool didn't work for me, so i was looking around internet and I found a method to root the device, I made like there said, and I got root

Because I'm new here i can't post URL so what you need to do is go to google search and write this "htc evo design 4g adb tacoroot" the first link is the method, the page is pastebin

this method is no complicated but worked for me, even i don't know how I can unlock the bootloader but if i find any method I'll post it here...

sorry by me english 'cause is not my native language
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chugger93:
hey guys, not sure if I'll get a response anytime soon, but in a bind here. Following the guide here: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-4/

I got as far as fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin and now my phone is stuck in fastboot and I can't cycle through the options. Also, it just says "writing 'unlock token' and frozen on that. I think I was supposed to do this with the phone booted up, not in fastboot. I think...

What gives? Pull the battery??! I'm stuck, gotta fix this, wifes phone!

So I pulled the battery, and I can restart. If I unlock the bootloader, it'll wipe the phone though right? Anyway to get a nandroid of her phone first??

Sensation XE with HBOOT 1.29

Should this work with HBOOT ver of 1.29?

As the tool does not do a lot?

Apart from the near impossible colour used (dark blue on black, yes I can change my background...)

I have already unlocked via htcdev.

I first used option 1 (option 2 doesnt seem to do anything)

Using option 4, it prompts me for stuff, without actually telling me the Token to copy!

Go to HTCDev.com and register an account and login.
Press any key to continue . . .
Rebooting to fastboot
Copy the ID Token and paste it at the bottom of the page of http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-3
