Went thru root then unroot so I could get latest factory updates(hearing coming soon). Will re-root after updates. Question. Will my phone take updates without running RUU, which wipes out the phone. Phone just has "tampered" to show it has been rooted one time. RUU gets rid of this. Great instructions on how to root and unroot. Thanks

Probably a dumb question, but I haven't found the answer anywhere. Does the Mac version unlock bootloader? If not is it possible with a mac?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
No it does not unlock the bootloader. None of these versions do. Check out my RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter if you want to do all this and unlock the bootloader/install a custom recovery.

Try running the RUU while your phone is in fastboot. Do an adb reboot bootloader command then try running it

You need to relock the bootloader before you run the RUU. I forgot to do this too.

Returning my Evo LTE because the data speeds are absolutely horrendous. Giving the S3 a shot. Hopefully they'll accept it with a "relocked" banner in bootloader...

adb reboot bootloader

Quote from the OP at the bottom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
Short of reading thru all the posts in this thread, I was wondering what kind of intermediate step I need to perform after this before installing TWRP recovery.

From what I understand, I need to be S-OFF before installing the recovery and this process (which I did successfully several weeks back when I first got my phone) did not give it to me.

So if someone can point me in the right direction... or let me know if I'll still be able to install the current TWRP recovery from the point I'm at now.

Thanks!

Great info in this thread..

Could I get a quick confirmation, as I have read through the entire thread and want to ensure I understand everything that I read was correct.

1 Using this ROOT Method gives you Tampered status in the bootloader.

2 There is no current ROOT Method that will not show Tampered status in the bootloader.

3 Flashing the RUU removes Tampered status and removes ROOT.

4 If you keep ROOT you keep the Tampered status.

Now that LazyPanda method is out we can have an unlocked bootloader with S-OFF without reporting our info to HTC (HTCDev) correct?

..and finally, if I root using this method and then run LazyPanda I will have a Tampered, Unlocked, S-OFF Bootloader?

Thanks in advance..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] buzzwyzr:
Correct.

But Regaw has created an awesome utility that allows you to configure your bootloader anyway you like.

For example, you can select the "stock" option and the bootloader will say "locked", s-on, and have the original hboot number displayed. It looks and feels exactly like an unlocked bootloader.

Within the same utility there's the option to remove the red warning that's displayed on the splash screen after rooting / unlocking your phone. Or you can modify the red text to say whatever you'd like.

I'm posting this from the xda app and I didn't paste the thread link or I'd post it here for you. But peruse the development section and its easy to find.

Has anybody found a fix for the unrooting driver issue? When I'm installing the RUU it changes to an android 1.0 device, and then when I try to update the driver software it says it can't...

EDIT: Figured it out. Disable your virus protection and it worked just fine. I have Microsoft Security Essentials, I don't know if that makes a difference.

Don't bother with Rootkeeper. It doesn't keep root after the recent OTA anyway.

Are you htc dev unlocked with custom recovery?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rcbarr:
Ditto, consider this tested and confirmed. Voodo Rootkeeper did "not" keep root intact post the latest OTA, 1.22.651.3
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ottodawg:
Not sure, the only thing I've done to the phone is root via this method, and applied the latest OTA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
You would have to htc dev unlock, install twrp recovery and then flash supersu to gain root back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rcbarr:
If you are running the stock (I am) ROM with the default recovery, I see no way to root at this point. I tried two of the older methods. received permission errors using both of them at different places. Post the OTA, I can't even get to recovery which is puzzling as h@ll. We need a new exploit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
One can just take the update and reroot via the method in this thread's first post, right? Specifically, I'm referring to the "soft" root and not the complete one that flashes a custom recovery, etc. I rooted primarily to be able to use certain apps like Titanium et. al., and I'm using the stock ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Nope. If you accepted the ota update the method in the first post no longer works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
I didn't accept the OTA update; I was just wondering if my aforementioned method would still work. Thanks for confirming that is does not.

BTW, are you saying that neither method--the "soft" root or the full root--would work? Just double-checking?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
There's no need for the soft method. I will update my rooter (HERE) but also if you follow the link in the OP to his website (http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/) that guide is correct and will work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
Well, the only reason I did the soft root was because I wanted root access just for certain apps/files. I didn't want to mess around with custom ROMs for now. I did that with the original EVO, and there was always some rather significant problem that arose, from the phone locking up to certain features going haywire, etc. I also didn't want to have to start from scratch in terms of having to re-install most of my apps, redoing my settings, etc.

There's no need for me to get into the real advanced stuff like many others do, so I was content with the stock ROM for now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Yeah I completely understand. The problem is there is no "soft" root exploit known to work on this update yet. I'm working on it, and so are others.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
I understand, and I'm certainly not whining about that. I just wanted to inquire beforehand so I understood everything completely. Too many people go headstrong into such things without making sure they understand what the consequences might be.

Is your software build number 1.13.651.1 or is it 1.22.651.1? If it's the latter, this exploit has been patched. You have to unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP, then flash a superuser package to gain root on the stock rom.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr0roboto:
So if I rooted using your method for 1.13.651.1, is it better to RUU, install the OTA, then root again with your method, or should I install a stock ROM of the OTA?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Granite1:
Dood, don't unroot and accept the OTA. The S-off exploit has been closed for now, so doing this will close that option for you. You can flash everything from recovery with the proper files. Plus this method does not currently work with the new hboot. You would have to unlock with HTCdev and then flash with fastboot.

Best to just go balls deep and go FeedPanda. If you brick its really easy to fix. Make a live CD before you go for it, and make sure it works. Then feed that lazy panda! I bricked a handfull of times before I got it to work. It's not that bad. ;)

Root method?

Ive been an idiot and installed the OTA right after I purchased my Evo 4G LTE. My phone has never been rooted or S-off or anything. I found the below statement in some other forum and wanted to confirm this will work for a least unlocking and rooting. Can you guys confirm this will work?

1. Relock boot loader

2. apply RUU for the same rom version you are running [Only registered users can view links. ]

3. rerun RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter

3a. It will sucessfully unlock and flash the recovery on your phone, but it will fail to root it.

3b. Download the rooting files

4. Extract the contents of the zip file

5. Copy the file CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip to your SD card

6. Reboot to recovery

7. Flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip

8. Reboot to system and Viola you have have a rooted install

I assume in my case I can start on step 3. Can anyone confirm??

Boots up fine, but when the lockscreen is supposed to come up, nothing works. Capacitive buttons are inactive, phone is lagging (horribly) and my settings do nothing but crash.

I rooted and made a lot of mods to my previous ltevo. Only bricked the NFC after flashing viper Rom. And yes, I cleared the gwallet files and reset it before flashing. Still bricked the NFC even after doing everything I read I was supposed to do.

Is there a thread describing what exactly makes gwallet throw the NFC not responding error? Because from what I've heard no one really knows why secure element bricks. Pretty sure flashing a ROM was my reason, yet it shouldn't have happened. I know you're thinking I must not have done something right, but according to the custom I did.

Maybe it was that phone, because it was having other issues. Maybe the cache or data didn't wipe right, I don't know. All I know is I got the secure element not responding after flashing a rom.

You are right about the rooting and build.prop edits, I did the build.prop edits before as well to get gwallet working and the apple patent edit. So, I thank u for trying to help out. I'm kind of stuck on stock right now bc I see more benefits to not being rooted. When there's a true multi-tasking fix, jelly bean rom, and secure element brick free it will be overwhelmingly more advantageous to root.

If hboot 1.15 turns out to be unexploitable then I have no choice but rooting. Until more is released I am gonna stay put I think. U hear a lot of stories, but until it actually happens u don't heed as much caution.

No, you can't install custom ROM's after this. You need either the HTC Dev unlock or the lazypanda s-off unlock.

I think they still require this though. Do this, run titanium backup to back everything up, then do the one of the others if you want to install ROM's.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Blipstein:

I am going to chill on this for a little bit then I'll be ready to flash some ROMs. Can you direct me to where I find the steps to HTC Dev unlock or lazypanda s-off unlock? So like you said doing this step first was ok then? Basically I'm going to unlock a bootloader to get it to s-off?

Also, to get hotspot do I need to flash a ROM that includes the app?
