[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Stunna4life888:
It did originally, I then finally was able to run Panda and now I only see S-Off. If i remember correctly doesnt Panda take the tampered and unlocked text away, or am I just making that up? Was able to flash Paranoid Android via TWRP

Thanks for the help
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mykeyvee:
I think it is supposed to take that text away, i remember something did, can't be 100% sure that it was panda. Are you possibly trying to flash cm10 by chance? or just gain root? i also know that if you flash the origial stock rom it'll take away root, just a note :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Stunna4life888:
Ya ive got superuser on here so I believe im good now...No I loved using Paranoid Android on my last LTE so that's that I went back with. I just wanted to gain root for the time being. I appreciate all the help

Awesome! Glad to to try to lend a helping hand anyways! Have fun! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
If you unlock and root, but keep S-On... and decide to relock and RUU back to stock, the bootloader still says TEMPERED/Relocked, correct?

The only way around that is to S-Off first to rewrite that part of the bootloader or whatever?

The problem is that LazyPanda doesn't work on hboot 1.15 or 1.19, which most new phones are coming with. So if you unlock to root, you are screwed on a warranty issue as there is no way possible to overwrite the TAMPERED part...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PillowMetal:
The TAMPERED goes away after an RUU, but yes, it will always say RELOCKED unless you are S-OFF (which can't be done on 1.15 or 1.19 yet). As far as warranty, it is only the HTC warranty that gets voided, not the Sprint warranty. There have been reports of people returning their phones to Sprint just fine even with it saying RELOCKED, but of course, your mileage may vary.

What is interesting is that if you "fastboot oem lock" I can understand that it will say RELOCKED, but an RUU replaces every partition including hboot, so it is surprising that is still says RELOCKED in that case. It must be that it writes some flag somewhere in the firmware untouched by an RUU, when you htcdev unlock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
I may have used the wrong term, but yes, even after an RUU it still says UNLOCKED, so you are screwed if the tech knows enough to check for that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Fifth313ment:
Yeah I want to do the same thing. I want to keep stock but get root just to stop some apps from using RAM and running. Also I want to be able to update via the normal update methods. Can someone direct me to a guide or will this work? I'm on the latest update which fixed the caller id ringtone issue. After root will I be able to accept OTA updates like normal (Once I get root I'm not going to delete anything but simply freeze things so I can undo what I did when it comes time to update). I just want to be able to update via OTA even though I know I will lose root in the process.

Thanks,

Thanks for the response PillowMetal!

I can't believe this? The HTC EVO 4G LTE has no method for ROOT on the newest software without notifying HTC and voiding your warranty? The OG EVO is the ultimate dev phone and the newest is the worst? I've seen ZTE & Huawei phones with better support?! Man this phone really opened my eyes and I'll be going with Samsung next time. I have a mint condition EVO LTE with a screen protector and Seidio case on 24-7 with holster for trade or sale for a SGS3?!

I simply want to root to remove the backend software Sprint puts on to snoop on my phone and a few other apps that run 24-7 and I can't without deleting everything or installing a new ROM? I had been waiting to root till the Jelly Bean update came out so I figured I would do it now as I don't know if and when HTC will ever release the JB update. I wanted to remove some bloat and then be able to upgrade to the Jelly Bean update without issue but from everything I've read every method requires S-OFF and that requires notifying HTC. Great job HTC!

Anyway can I unroot using this method with this version software?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PhxkinMassacre:
Will this root the newest hboot 1.19? A buddy of mine just got this phone and wants me to root it for him but since I rooted back early July I haven't followed root methods to much. I know you need to do the racoon thing to downgrade the hboot just wondering about root so he can backup his apps before hand
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DisplacedMic:
No offense intended, but based on this post I would definitely recommend against you rooting his phone for him. Read the thread or better yet have him read it :)

Cant return back to stock

I currently in a jam here, I am rooted (I think I still am). I used the Megaroot to gain root and installed TWRP(older version) which came with it? running software 1.22.651.3.71 and when I try to return to stock and start over the ruu software gives me error code 155.

unroot

ok I am so confused about how to do this so any help would be very helpful. I am trying to get my evo to root back to the ruu files so i can get my wii and hotspot drivers back cause for some reason they are not working on any rom at all.. What files do i use with these stats on my phone..

android version 4.1.2

baseband 1.12.11.0809

kernal 3.0.51-geb1844c deck@deck-linux #1

pac version 18

aokp version jewel_jb-milestone-1

build date sat feb 9

build number pac_jewel-userdebug 4.1.2 jz054k eng

jamie.20130209.193952 test-keys

So what would be the easiest way to revert back to stock ruu( i guess thats what i am looking for, been told that anyways) to get my wii and hotspot back, then root again back into this rom i have running now?

Thank you again for any help. Sorry if this is a stupid question...

To find out your hboot version you should be able to hold down your power button until the menu come up and then select boot loader. The hboot version will show at the top. Then volume down to reboot and press powerto restart your phone.

Greetings...

Experiencing a little bit of a technological Armageddon this weekend...after rooting the kids new tablets (each broke theirs within hours of each other) we were off for lunch...and then it happened...I dropped my HTC EVO 4G (Sprint)...she was dead...done...damn.

So now I've got a shiny new HTC EVO LTE 4G and want to root it...

Primary purpose is to be able to wirelessly tether...secondary purpose is to remove some bloatware w/ Titanium...

I don't know that I'd really play around with ROMs so I don't know that S-OFF is a priority, but then again, why not do S-OFF? Absent messing with ROMS, which my old butt doesn't have the time for, don't know that S-on wouldn't do the trick...

I know things change daily so I wanted to start fresh...I had begun following a guide last night, into early this morning, but HTC Dev was being really strange...Can't login...enter username and password, use the dropdown to go to "other devices" and it asks me to login again and then I'm back to the beginning....rebooted, cleared cache...just strange...so at that, I decided I'd reach out for help and make sure I'm doing the "latest and greatest" and enlist the help of some folks who know far more than I....

I'm just good at following directions...(the secret to my success)...

HTC EVO LTE 4G

hboot 2.09.0000

radio 1.12.11.1210

open dsp v31.1.0.45.0815

hardware version 003

Software version: 3.16.651.3 71ORD

Android version: 4.1.1

HTC SDK API level: 4.63

Kernel: 3.4.10-g19136fe

I know I've got some extra info there but I figured I'd offer as much detail as possible...

Thanks much!

I have a question I'm new here so please bear with me I want to root my HTC EVO 4g LTE but I was wondering the root method I choose does it depend on the hboot or android system I'm on currently ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mammothjojo88:
Look up moonshine in this forum, that will root it and give you s off. Very easy to use :) trust me you want s-off you don't wanna go through the trouble of flashing the boot .img and kernel separate
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
To answer your question, the root method is the same on the EVO LTE regardless of Hboot version.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ultimatelegend1:
Thanks dudes what about the android version I'm on 4.1.1 does that matter?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
No, the root method is the same regardless.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Assuming TWRP for the evo lte is similar to the twrp for the original evo, rooting is almost whimsical.

1) unlock device with htcdev

2) install latest twrp

3) one of the functions on the first run of twrp is installation of superuser

4) allow this, reboot

5) find the superuser installer in the apps list. Run it

6) It'll ask to reboot to recovery to install, permit it.

7) Done, enjoy beer and install whatever you need to that requires root access.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ultimatelegend1:
Ok but unlocking the bootloader with HTC dev won't allow s-off right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
You have to be unlocked I believe to run Moonshine
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Unlocking the bootloader allows you to install a custom recovery, from which you can flash ROM's. S-off is accomplished using Dirty Racun, Facepalm or Moonshine, depending on your Hboot version. You must unlock your bootloader prior to gaining S-off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ultimatelegend1:
Ok so first I root then I unlock the bootloader then I get s-off?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
1. Unlock at HTC-Dev

2. Flash TWRP

3. Moonshine

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
You can install custom recoveries just fine with htcdev unlocking. The issue is you can't flash kernels directly via recovery, but must do so through fastboot.

Among being able to flash radios, being soff allows direct flashing of kernels through the recovery.

IMO, while I think everyone should be soff, if you are a casual flasher who mainly wants root capability, go the htcdev route and leave it at that. While it is unlikely something will go wrong in the soff process, the chances are higher than just htcdev unlocking.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ultimatelegend1:

I replied somewhere that I encountered this same issue last Jan trying to update and root my phone on a win 8.0 Asus laptop with 3.0 USB only. The trick is to u install the built in microsoft USB drivers and install the Intel 3.0 USB drivers instead. Then u can see u your phone in bootloader mode. Granted this only works with Intel chipsets. The process used to be convoluted as Intel only had win 7 drivers at the time, but now they have win 8 drivers so updating is pretty easy. I can point out the original website where I dug up this info for updating but the info is outdated as its all about installing the Intel win7 drivers on Windows 8. These days u should easily just be able to go to Intel website and download their drivers and replace over existing Microsoft USB drivers. Your bootloader will then be able to be recognized via USB and off u go!
