Anyone have issues where the cmd box just says rebooting three times and says you have root? I've ran the program three times to no avail.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yeoldeusrename:
That is correct. Do not accept the OTA update. If you want the latest software, you'll have to flash a ROM.

Be careful though, because some ROMs might have the latest hboot, which will prevent Lazy Panda from giving you S-OFF. So if you want S-OFF, then that should be the next thing you do after rooting.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Blipstein:
Ok. So my next move it to install Lazy Panda to achieve S-off? Then I will be able to flash ROMs and those ROMs should reflect the changes in the latest OTA update?

Thanks

How to install custom roms/TWRP without root on 1.22.651.3

Ok so I could not wait for the root to come out and I could not for the life of me figure out how to install a custom rom without first rooting your EVO LTE first. But I was randomly doing stuff and I figured out how to install a custom recovery onto a phone that has 1.22.651.3. First download this http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1-jewel.img then go into fastusb on your phone. You just need to push the image to your phone and it will then install twrp for you. Thats it!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
There is a relatively good chance it will give u a NFC brick. It did to me and I reset and cleared wallet out before flashing viper ROM. Im waiting for the new S-OFF before I accept the ota.

Already taken 2 phones back bc I bricked the NFC trying to experiment with wallet. All I can say is it is so unpredictable that I was really unable to come up w any set in stone characteristics of how it operates.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KingFnerb:
Maybe I should just brick it and use that Best Buy warranty I bought and hope I get a non-upgraded phone. :)

What seems to be the hold up with getting .3 rooted? Granted I'm not able to figure out how myself, but I mean we have some really smart people here. Was it fixed with .3 so that its not going to be possible, or not possible for a long time?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] knock.back:
I tried to HTC dev unlock then flash twrp but no matter what method I tried to flash it wouldn't go through... My phone would just freeze and after about 10 minutes I'd hold the power button to reset...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arozer:
Android Tether apparently works on even non-rooted phones.

But I am curious to know the answer about the SU. Do you have SU?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] knock.back:
From what I've read on here after you flash twrp you can then flash su

Also try foxfi for non rooted phones.. It's what I'm using

You always could root on .3, just have to go through htcdev site I thought. Most ppl didn't want to go that route and wanted the regular root method in this thread.

Am I wrong?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Curb71:
how many steps are there to be completed rooted, google wallet wiped, unlocked bootloaded, custom recovery, s-off, ect. I'm still on 1.13.651.1 and want to but it seems like every guide I find is incomplete or missing steps. Is there anything I left out I should think about?

At what point is the phone going to be hard reset?

Will I be able to back up all my apps before they are gone? (with titanium backup or mybackup root ect)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dhruvmp:
Maybe I am a little dense, but is there anyway to do a downgrade (from 1.22.651.3 to 1.22.651.1) using an RUU? I haven't seen which ones are floating around, if any, but I thought I would ask.

I was stupid enough to accept the update, thinking a full S-OFF would not be far off, but the days are like agony!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PillowMetal:
That would be a big YES if you are still on 1.13.651.1 - consider yourself lucky. Note that this is root with SU and BusyBox only, no unlocked bootloader, no custom recovery.

This is in fact the PREFERRED method of rooting, and then going directly to S-OFF where you can do whatever you want regarding flashing from the bootloader or recovery. Using this method means you do not have to HTCdev unlock.

After S-OFF, you can even take the 1.22.651.3 OTA update and still retain S-OFF and full functionality and have all the latest HTC updates. Then flash whatever hboot, boot, recovery, or ROM your little heart desires.

S-OFF: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737123

---------- Post added at 04:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 AM ----------

I have never seen an RUU with that version either, not sure where zedomax has seen it. It is my understanding that once you have hboot 1.15 you cannot downgrade whatsoever, you can only HTCdev unlock as of right now going forward.

I feel your pain, but thankfully I got S-OFF before the update even came out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] revaew:
Is the video about unrooting still accurate? can I still use one of his linked RUU's if I am running a much newer version 1.22.651.3?

EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mista_k:
so quick question, what are the advantages of rooting THIS to this specific phone? I used to have my old EVO 4G rooted with unrevoked and I know about the WiFi Hotspot, though I don't really need that since FoxFi works great. But I mean what else can you do? Heard of custom roms but never really did any of that so i guess in a sense I'm still new rooting to its full potential. And if it helps I really like the sense UI. Can anyone explain this to me in a little bit more detail or direct me to a thread that does? I tried doing a basic search and most of it is just "How to root ______"

EDIT: Also have been looking into what jelly bean will bring, want to know a little bit about the 4.1 ROM and if it's lacking any of the "official" features?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
Ok, so I did the unroot to return my phone to sprint, via windows. So I have a couple of questions:

1) when I went back, I used the most up to date ruu, locking my phone to go back to the store. Funny thing is, and I know I have gotten OG EVOs like this, but I still have S-OFF. It still displays LOCKED at the top, but damned if I wasnt allowed to flash a radio update from HBOOT 1.15. So am I still unrooted? Hehehe

2) I hate fracking windows. Is there a way to install the ruu via Mac OSX or Linux? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

Man, you need to check out Meanrom. To me, and I mean no disrespect, this is SoS for the Evo 4g LTE. SoS for the OG Evo was the shiz and meanrom follows in that same path.

It was hard to make out your screenshot - but from what I can gather, it is failing right away when it tries to back up the local/tmp directory and replace it with a symbolic link to /data, which is part of the exploit. What version is your stock ROM - it doesn't work on 1.22.65.3 as far as I know, that exploit has been plugged.

So, Root Explorer is our friend. Now we just need to find a way to get rid of the menu key. I'm playing around with the mappings in /system/usr/keylayout. Here's some screenies.

The file that has the .bak extension is the one I'm playing with. I believe key 249 is recent apps. I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the menu software key now. It didn't go away after I mapped the recent apps button to Menu. Then, the next step is to find out how to map long presses so I can get the recent app menu back to long press recent apps, and then map long press of back or home to search.

And if someone would pull the unedited version of that synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl file and post it here, that'd be really nice. I accidentally overwrote the backup.
