[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
That version is actually an old one, much earlier than the one that shipped. I'd go with the 1.13.651.1 RUU that football posted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zedomax:
there is a 1.13.651.1 RUU in the download link.

Nice youtube channel btw. lol subscribed.

Mine works just fine with root access.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Weapon XCI:
Just wait once it sees the bootloader is tampered it will not work right.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spanky34:
Approximately how long does this take to happen?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Weapon XCI:
Not sure was fast first time just did a factory rest and its been fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zedomax:
Sometimes you might have to reboot once, not sure why but after additional reboot it works fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twigs187:
Done. This is why XDA rocks :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bobarune:
I read that one of the ways google wallet checks if you have root is by finding Superuser.apk installed on the system and then two other things (can't remeber) (can't find source, trying to find it). So we can just use SuperSU then.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sp0gg:
Worked great, thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredox19:
Yea, gwallet is not working for me either. Also Tbackup can't see my folder in the sd card from my 3d anyone know why?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
If you're using the microsd slot, it's labelled as /sdcard2, TB is looking in /sdcard which is the internal storage.

I just used SU just to load up my backup apps and unroot using SU and gwallet works again.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
question: if we root and remove some apps that came with the phone and an update comes out, do we have to use the ruu to go back to stock or can we just update?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RegnierD:
I would hold off on the updates if root is important to you. There's a chance that the update would cost you root and S-Off (if you have it), which would suck. A lot.

You're better off waiting until a dev release a zip to flash. You can always run an RUU to go back to full stock of you're not S-Off, but still want to rip out bloat, but the same precautions apply.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whoisatlas:
I'm a bit afraid to try this. I would really like to get TB working to restore some things from my old EVO, but am afraid of the whole tampering notice in the bootloader. I've heard that applying the RUU removes that tampering notice, but doesn't that remove root as well?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RegnierD:
Yes. You would only need to run the RUU if you have to return the phone. Until then, don't worry about it. As long as you can boot into hboot, you can salvage the device. The.occasions you can't are few and far between.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zedomax:
Yes it does remove tampering notice and root.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whoisatlas:

Titanium Backup

How do you view the external sd card on the EVO on a windows computer? In addition, when I installed Titanium Backup it's not finding the profile and therefore I can't restore all my apps. Let me know if you have any ideas of what is going on. In addition, I noticed that when I look at the external sd-card on a file explore app on my phone, it is only showing my video's and pictures not all the other files and folders that are on the sd-card. In addition, when I try to open those videos and pictures, they won't even open and it just shows the error triangle. Let me know if it is because it is a different that I'm using the sd-card in, and as a result I'll have to wipe it and restart over on it. In addition, I'm also getting the error saying that my sd-card was unexpectedly removed when I didn't mess with my sd-card at all after that, the phone no longer recognizes that there is an sd-card in the phone. Thanks.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leo72793:
Just noticed, this makes google wallet unsupported on out devices.

To fix, DENY ROOT PERMS! My stupid self mustve hit allow
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leo72793:
did you deny root perms?

Wow I didn't expect to have WIFI Tether up the first day.

Thanks, nice work.

Rooted it on Windows 7 x64 without a hitch.

I also ran PPTP VPN through WIFI Tether and that worked too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Can someone remind me what RUU is? Should I not do any OTA updates?

How do we know which RUU to use? (I've done all this on my EVO but I am super rusty.)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Techrocket9:
An RUU is a piece of software developed by HTC that resets a phone to stock settings, meaning like it was out of the box. Running an RUU is probably the safest thing you can do to your phone, though running an old one may induce bugs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eyeamfresh:
WIFI TETHER HOW???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eyeamfresh:
I CAN RUN TETHER APPS BUT ALL GIVR ME LIMITED ACCESS WITH NO INTERNET EXCEPT ON MY 360
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
I think your caps lock button is stuck
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timothydonohue:
thanks for the creds. appreciated.

and, for anyone that's interested, if you've rooted (superficially at least), you can

rm what ever you want to get rid of

you can also cp any apps from your /sdcard2/ partition into it that you want.

i will say that, in trying to get an EPST.apk where i could manually change the PRL did not work worth a crap. every code i tried failed (for manual PRL update). also could not get QPST to work worth a crap, despite several versions of the program. not worth elaborating in this this thread, just a heads up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eyeamfresh:
Lol sorry about the caps
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
If u r rooted NEVER take an update-
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shinedown87:
I know this sounds strange, but I rooted last night, and now my wifi speeds are terribly slow (I did not test them before I rooted). Even my 3G speeds are much faster than wifi right now.

I haven't yet been able to try a few days different wifi network, but all the other devices I have tried are still working fine (E4GT, iPad, laptop,).

Does anyone have any idea the cause if this or what I can do to fix it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredox19:
Everyone that said that gwallet work for them and is rooted, when you open your gwallet it doesn't say unsupported device on top? Because if it does then your gwallet is not working.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
CORRECTION. My wife has the GNexus on Sprint, and it says UNSUPPORTED, but we still use it. THE ONLY difference is, that Google is NOT responsible if someone steals your phone and uses it to purchase something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GODZSON:
Great job Z, Thx for sharing..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KERKEDAGAIN:
This is one of the main reasons I wanted root..get my MSL and change my prl. Service @ the office is abysmal. Please PM me or I'll keep an eye out for a thread detailing any further findings
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredox19:
Wow didn't know that thanks. So now that I unroot using the Su, do I have to run the root script again to root?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] indiscriminant:
For google wallet when you first open the app the first time, simply don't grant it Root Access through SU. It works fine and doesn't say unsupported. Tested yesterday at target.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] budeone:
This worked perfect and easy... Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LegacyKill3r:
?

Hey guys do you know if the one click root would work on windows 7 64bits?:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyapd21:
Does this root work with version 1.13 as well?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btbamzao:
Yep. Used it this morning. No issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LegacyKill3r:

Thanks bro for the quick response....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
Sure does. And if you ever have to go back to stock, make sure you download the RUU for version 1.13 in the OP.

Works like a charm. Thank you all for the hard work... Got my new EVO 4G LTE rocking...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dannydeez:
Does anyone know if rooting will wipe the phone back to stock settings? I spent a few hours yesterday setting up my phone the old school way (dont judge me lol) and id rather not have to do it again. I remember rooting my OG evo with unrevoked and it didnt wipe anything, but with a different phone & different method, I would like to be sure.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
^^It's a nondestructive root. Everything will be as it was before.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ricardod1:
Just fallow the beginning of this thread works like a charm on the EVO 4G LTE. Did not loose any data still have my stock ROM way easier than unrevoked...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hockeyman12c:
Were you able to get it to work. If you watch the video you should have no problems. Took me about 10 minutes.

Much easier than my Evo 3D and evo 4g! But I used the very early root methods then.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shakuyi:
do we know what apps r safe to remove?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellyrx8:
worked for me on x64 win7
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timothydonohue:
the bloatware is fine to remove. Don't remove anything like the dialer, it's integral to sense.

you should always back up a copy of anything you are thinking about messing with . Every time. Can't stress that enough.

And, if you don't know what it is, don't **** with it

How do I make my apps on my sd card show up in Titanium?

UPDATE: Go to Menu>Preferences>Backup Folder Location>Detect>Whole Device Then select use the current folder once ext_sd is found
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btbamzao:
I denied it root. It says unsupported.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btbamzao:
Go to preferences. Click on backup folder location. Click detect. Click use current folder.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 94tbird:
go into super user and remove google wallet from the list

Clear user data and cache on the app

relaunch and deny su

Try that. I did it slightly differently because I used Titanium backup to backup the phone as soon as i had root, so I uninstalled Wallet, reinstalled and denied SU
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
This is exactly what I had been searching for. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timothydonohue:
I made a thread about it yesterday in general. The search button is your friend
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
My problem was that I was searching the wrong forum. :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FractalSphere:
ALSO thank you for this first root method zedomax, I'm in the same boat of waiting for others to test - mostly because I'm not eligible until July for upgrade. :D So by the time that rolls around there might be an S-OFF, recovery and even some good de-bloated stock ROM development on the way.

I'm looking forward to this phone, and to ditching the bloatware on there.

adb server is out of date

When I Run the runme.bat I get the message "adb server is out of date. killing"

it then says daemon is restarting a few times. Then it goes thru all of the reboots and claims it completed successfully, but I can see that file copies failed and su and busybox did not make it. Any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] browning:
Nice work!

I've kept up with the thread and am leaning towards using this. I haven't even activated the phone or navigated it yet but think that tonight is a good time to start.

If my understanding is correct there is no downside to this option as RUU can bring everything back to factory if need be. Is this correct?

My main reason for jumping on this is I would like to restore all of my current app data, text messages, voicemail, etc from the OG EVO to the EVOLTE. I'm using TB and it sounds like there have been no issues with this other than the mapping to sd-ext. Does anyone know if I'll be able to restore wifi settings, etc from the OG EVO to EVOLTE using TB?

By denying SU to Google Wallet it sounds like wallet will work without issue. I'd really like to set this up so basically just looking for confirmation that what I've read is correct.

Finally, are there any other issues with this root? Anything not working properly, etc?

Thanks for any and all help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredox19:
I did that but still say unsupported
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Westfire:
It should be fine. I have heard many times Wallet will still work it just means that if something happens Google won't be held responsible. Seems that is this is true they could do a better job explaining it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zedomax:
Turn off HTC Sync, it interferes with your ADB, that is my guess.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tmuka:
Thanks! worked great for me on linux. I did have to sudo adb. Was one superfluous line at the end of the script that err'd since "pause" doesn't exist on my Ubuntu LTS. (probably left over from the windows script?)

tmuka@blah:~/Desktop/evo$ @pause

@pause: command not found

hope this helps!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LeetCompWiz:
This totally worked. I now have root. I did have to run the bat file twice for it to fully finish.

Heads up, if google wallet asks for root, just deny it because it might not work with root.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jschill31:

if i do the unroot will it go back to normal or do i try the root again
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Techrocket9:
Unrooting via RUU is the most surefire way to get your phone back to an operable state.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timothydonohue:
same thing happened to me. hold the power button down until the phone shuts off. reboot it again. maybe twice even. (i just read that in snagglepuss' voice)

What version of Wireless tether does anyone have working on their Evo 4g LTE's? The few I've tried install ok and aquire root, but my laptop fails to connect. It connected to my OG Evo fine, so I'm guessing I need a specific version that works with our phones. thanks for the help.

Edit: I know its kind of off topic, but I figured I'd ask here because of the screen shot at the beginning of the post showing Wireless Tether.

2nd Edit: I figured it out. I'm using version 3.1 beta14. I had to configure the device profile within wireless Tether to Generic ICS. Once I did that it started working. hope this helps if anyone else has an issue.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Can the OP or another advanced user please comment on gaining root and then using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper?

If we use the root method and install Voodoo Rootkeeper, can we perform over-the-air updates? I know automatic updates are generally a no-no, but does Voodoo eliminate those worries?

If not, what is the best way to keep root and get updates from Sprint?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] browning:
Awesome work! About as painless as you can get. Denied SU access for Google Wallet and it works fine. Went down the street to the 7-11 and made a transaction. I think the poor kid behind the counter thought he was caught in a time warp when he watched me tap the phone. His only words "WHOAAAAA"

ok never mind now is doing it after i restarted everything
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] browning:
Did you reboot after installing the drivers? I did not have to but it did tell me to do so after updating the drivers.

Also, while you may not need this, I installed the latest Android SDK first. You can find the SDK here: http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r18-windows.exe.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rizzomach:
Only thing I notice is Google wallet says unsupported device anyone else have this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Condo20t:
It will keep root but it can't protect against H Boot updates that could keep you from having S Off. I'd gold off on updates until someone can take a look at them to see if there are changes to the bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] browning:
Yes, mine says unsupported device as well. From reading the "Learn More" section next to the alert and from what others have said I don't see it as an issue. My understanding is that with root access someone may be able to hack into your account if they got your phone. My phone never leaves my side and due to Exchange security settings through work email my phone locks after 15 minutes. If you're worried just set a security lock and that will help protect you as much as you can.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I just read whole thread. Just a couple questions.

Looks like you need ADB and internet connection. (Internet for updating drivers). I got one PC with adb installed and no internet, and access to other PC with internet but no adb. Does anyone have the drivers downloaded so I could just copy em to my PC and not need internet on my adb PC?

Also, did I understand right, the unroot completely unrooted and that was thru superSU?

Does r/w to system using root explorer work using this base root?

Much thanks for any info or ideas.

Thanks a lot Zedo. You ROCK! This is all I need for my phone. I'm a flashaholic but I think I'm comfortable with this method and what it offers. All I really want is access to root permissions in my apps and to remove the bloatware. I think I'm gonna refrain from going crazy with flashing on this phone like I did my OG EVO( We will revisit this in a couple months or so. LoL) Thanks again Zedo.
