everytime i open the program it says starting ADB server, then the program closes. Everuthing is insalled and up to date. ANy ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Sounds like a driver issue. Uninstall EVERYTHING HTC on your computer, then re install the drivers in the OP. This has worked many times to fix that.

No error message? It will be hard to help out blind, but I'll try.

Yeahhhh
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Yeah no message. Im trying this on my Dummy Phone. The bad one. WEll its not bad, just not activated. Wanna trya few things. But it opens, i get "starting ADb Server" then its closes automatically. Ill reboot the PC and try again
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Try keeping your phone unplugged from the computer until it starts up. That may help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Yeah I did. Now after the reboot of my PC, Bit defender (anti virus software) is deeming malicious software LOL. This happens to me over a week ago as well. But I just ended up using HTC unlock method. I don't know what the he'll is up
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:

Quick Question

Used this method awhile ago and everything worked great... nice work and easy to use!!! Out of curiosity, what method do you recommend for unrooting the phone after using your method and restoring the bootloader to not say Tampered???

Thanks for the GREAT work!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TurboX2:
someone should probibly mention this on the opening post... a lot of us come from phones that didnt have this type of internal memory configuration, causing for us to be unsure of the results
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Ohh damn man, I didn't actually think u were setting anyone up HAHA. Nah not at all. Bitdefender tends to be a little strict, if u wanna say. But even when I disabled it, this keeps closing on me. I'm lost. It's not a huge deal. It I wanted to re-root and such and run the S-Off with Linux and see how it goes. Before I do it again on my Replacement.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattemer:
In case anyone gets this (I just did), just start over. You'll go through the bootloader bit, but since the phone is already unlocked, you can hit CONTINUE on the computer and skip the rest and get right back to the reboots and pushing of Root files, worked flawlessly second time around for me.

Thanks Regaw!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Rega what's the difference between the 2 downloads? I was using the x64, thinking cause I use a 64 bit windows. Can I use the x84?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
The code is optimized for the specific processor architecture your computer has. You won't be able to run the x86 version on an x64 computer in the case of this rooter (because I programmed it that way) and vice versa.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattemer:
Could use a little help here, not sure what I did.

Went through the whole process, everything appears to have been working fine, downloaded a ROM, through it on my SD Card (via my card reader, b/c i'm an idiot and couldn't figure out how transfer it via usb connection). Went to flash the ROM and the phone would not find it (via the install menu in the recovery screen).

Reboot to see if maybe that would work, and now i keep getting stuck at the HTC "quietly brilliant" screen, and my TWRP backup that i made half an hour ago is no where to be found (and my SD card doesn't appear to be recognized at all now). I checked with my computer, and my SD card has all of my pics and music and everything on there, so not sure what's happening.

Any idea how to get past the splash screen without a backup to go to?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
You can use my RegawMOD Rebooter to get back to recovery, then go to "Mount" and make sure "Using external sdcard" is checked at the bottom. Then it should find your zip when you go to install.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattemer:
I'll try it right now, thanks

*EDIT*

It sort of worked... I still can't find my backup to restore, but I can find my zips now. I'm thinking my sd card may be going, b/c it didn't work right away. Should I always be getting "unable to mount sd card" even after I mounted the external one? seems to keep popping up. I'll flash the rom I downloaded and go from there.

Thanks again!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Currently in the process of changing the downloads over to my devhost account. I will leave these links live for a few more days, but then I will remove them. Updating OP in a few with new links. Same version of the program though. This is NOT an update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
HMMM...FUnny

I opened up the Properties for the Program, and it didnt close. I had to give it permission from my Anit-Virus Program. But it didnt close. I twouldnt root me cause my phone was only charged to 32% LOL...Seems like i may be good tho. Gonna let it charge for a few and see what happens. I gotta send this phone back tomorrow, so i dont give a S**T what happens to it LOL. But i really wannt S-Off on my good phone. I hear alot guys say they did there root and Unlock Mehtod this way, before they did the S-Off..Heres to hoping to goes well..TIA!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
You can run zedomax's root if you're going for s-off, you don't have to unlock the bootloader or flash a recovery ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Ohh really? I didnt know that. Well everything went good, until it tried to push the Root FIles. It failed...

EDIT>.....WEll SU is in there. It updated the Binaries, so i think tis good!!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kronik420:
Good morning,

From what I'm reading is this rooter uses the htcunlock method to get the device unlocked. 2 questions after unlocking the device is it still possible to get s-off. also I've setup Google wallet what would I need to do so I can use Google wallet after rooting the phone with this method. Any known issues using this method and is there a better method rooting the phone. Thank you
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Lol yes there is another method that doesnt void your warranty through HTC and gives you S-Off. To continue using Google Wallet, you need to launch the app and go into settings clear/reset everything. Use the LazyPanda S-Off tool at the top of the development section to unlock your device, but you must first be ROOTED before you can use the tool. It seems like we keep answering these same questions over and over lol. Regaw made this method before S-Off was available so unless you want to void your warranty and not have S-Off I suggest using LazyPanda.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oespinoza83:
I rooted my OG EVO 4G back when it came out, and really did nothing after it other than flash roms, use TB, and uninstall bloatware.

I have the new EVO now and wanted to do the same. I basically just want to be able to install TB and uninstall certain programs. Will this method be able to do that?

I am really confused by these 2 root methods and the S-OFF Panda method. Can anyone explain the difference between the 3?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baknblack:
Just got a new phone. Tried to run this about 10 times. Got as far as pushing root files then error obtaining r/w access. No supersu app installed. Reboot to recovery was okay. Twrp was there. Installed supersu from market, binary was there. Installed busy box from market, all good.

Android ver 4.0.3

Hardware ver 0003

Software ver 1.13.651.1 710 rd
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
This is the older method used before S-Off became available. This method doesnt give you S-Off and uses HTCdev to unlock your device which voids your warranty. The LazyPanda method is the newer more preferred method which give you S-Off which a unlocked bootloader and doesnt use HTCdev so your warranty doesnt get voided....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oespinoza83:
Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
No problem, just remember that you must first be ROOTED before you run the LazyPanda utility. Being rooted is completely seperate from S-Off and having a unlocked bootloader. First root your device using this method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671577 then run LazyPanda and make sure you follow the instructions...

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

I kinda wonder if something is wrong with my phone. I've never used Google Wallet, but it has never worked on my phone either.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Mind sharing the hboot version #?

It's a current bug with our phones/Google. They'll fix it. It hasn't been working for weeks. For now check out this hack to make it work - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1744403
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carlos64030:
Can I get some help please? The root program doesn't do anything past this point:

It says that I need to go and check USB debugging after the phone reboots, but it's always already activated when I go to do it and nothing else ever happens afterwards. My bootloader is unlocked. Now what? I've pretty much tried everything.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
I've been working on a fix for this for a while but haven't found one yet because I it never hangs for me there. I have the code open right now and I'm looking at it again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carlos64030:

mine is stuck at bootloader. How long does one usually have to wait for it to go further?

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

the program screen keeps telling me that it's waiting for the phone to connect to the computer after a reboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
It should be quick. How far exactly did it get? Can you take a screenshot of the green text on the rooter? Or just tell me how far it got?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] secondechomatt:
No problem. once the bootloader opened, it just stuck there. It has done this 3 times.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
You mean the first thing it does after pressing "Root Me"?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] secondechomatt:
yep. stall. now I'm getting an error and the program won't run.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carlos64030:
Hmmm... I connected to a different network and it actually worked this time! Weird.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Try running the program with the phone NOT connected, then plugging it in after it's loaded and started the adb server.

Oh nice! So it ran all the way that time? The thing is, this rooter relies on timing of the device and the computer. Not everyone's computer is the exact same speed/processes commands at the same speed, so that is where these problems occur.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] secondechomatt:
I've tried both ways. I'll try again to see what happens.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

same stall point. Bootloader open on phone, comp screen has the "waiting for device" screen up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Almost seems like a driver issue. I can assume the program is responding alright, no "Not Responding" messages? Because there is nothing in that window that would stall the program. It just waits for the device to connect on a timer checking every second.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carlos64030:
Yes indeed it did! Earlier today, I figured out my first problem was that I was running an outdated version of HTC SYNC. After I updated that, then I ran into problems after the bootloader was installed and the root program wouldn't progress any further. My final effort after I previously posted saying that I was giving up was to switch my wireless connection. Oddly enough, that solved the problem. I spent around 5 hours today trying to get this worked out. LOL!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] secondechomatt:
yep, just keeps waiting.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Try uninstalling the drivers and HTC Sync, and ANYTHING that has to do with HTC from your control panel, then installing the drivers in the OP again. I know it may seem silly, or may not even work, but this sounds like a driver issue because it's not freezing, but it's not connecting with the device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] secondechomatt:
that got it! thanks for the help!

HTC update

This was a great mod and it worked perfect for me the first time.

HTC is pushing out an update (v1.22.651.3). I assume we should not do it and wait for a ROM with the updated to be posted on xda? Personally I don't want anything but the stock rom with Google Wallet working.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cfbauer:
So I'm one of the noobs who applied the recent update before waiting to see how root would be affected. I hoped OTA rootkeeper would save me but alas, I lost root access. I'd be grateful for any news that might be available about whether this root method can / will work after the update. Thanks!

So I had to get a new phone today due to a faulty bluetooth radio. They applied the OTA update before I had the chance to say no at the BestBuy mobile.

If you're already unlocked, just flash a custom recovery, and then SuperSU.

lazy panda

i rooted using this method right when the phone came out im curious is there any benifit to go back and do the lazy panda root for s-off. If so do i need to return the phone to stock before the lazy panda any info would be appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] deepend:
Unlocked but s-on, does that matter?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Nope. That's what it's supposed to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
You should have used the LazyPanda method vs this one. Lazy Panda gives you s-off and doesn't void your warranty with HTC like this method. S-off is the way to go....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crzycrkr:
I'm wanting some info on this too. Can I just run the panda method to get s-off at this point, or do I need to do something special?

Apparently you missed the part where he says he did it right when the phone came out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brad49201:
go run this after Panda and everything will be good. :good:

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

Just an FYI, I've done all three of these, the method listed in OP, LazyPanda and the Bootloader Customizer ( in that order ) without any problems. Will be doing the updated ROM shortly.

These guys are great!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lancemoreland:
I am picking up a replacement phone today also and also need to know if this method will work with the new OTA applied.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shawnten:
everything goes through but when it tries to install root apps it says cant get permssion to rw and wont install apps any suggestions
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this will not work on the new OTA. I will be updating this with the new TWRP recovery 2.2.0 though, for those of you who have build 1.13.651.1, as well as finding a root method for this OTA.

As stated in the OP this is successful in rooting builds up to 1.13.651.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shawnten:
thanks I sure hope you can find new root method. your work has been awesome so far. i was s off and rooted and did the firmware upgrade haux made and then I couldnt get any network connection so I used your unroot method brought me back to factory and 3g came back. stupid me updated now I used this method and got htc unlocked but wont root obviously.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Well since you're unlocked, and I assume you have the TWRP recovery, you can just flash Chainfire's SuperSU zip from recovery and it will put SuperSU and the su binary on your phone, then giving you root. And by explaining that to you, I now know how to update the rooter ;) Soo.... thank you
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shawnten:
will try that thanks and your welcome for helping you walk through the steps in your head.

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

one more dumb question what about busybox. is that part of chainfire?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
No that is not, but once you get root, there is an app on the market that can take care of that. Or I think there is a thread here on xda with a flashable zip from recovery.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, or its just that my phone has 1.22.651. It did unlock it, but nothing else, and the program froze after it was supposed to wait for the final reboot. Superuser wasn't installed, and neither was TWRP recovery. Also, I have no idea on how to get into recovery on this phone.

I have to mention, this is the first thing I did, since there's no instructions to tell you what to do first.

--EDIT--

Managed to do the right key combo this time to get into recovery. It surprised me. This time I held down volume down and momentarily pressed the power button, and TWRP is installed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Well it does say in the OP that it's successful on builds up to 1.13.651.1. You version is higher than that. I will be updating this to fully support newer builds soon, BUT since you already have a recovery, just search XDA for SuperSU, and flash the zip in Chainfire's post in recovery to give root.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baknblack:
Mine stopped in the same place. I ran it before lazypanda came out. What I did from that point was download supersu from the market. When I told it to install the binary it was already there. Twrp was already there as well. All that was left to do was install busy box.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:

Ok, after following http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/ I finally have root access (and TWRP 2.2.0 installed)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
By flashing SuperSU through recovery. Search xda for SuperSU (by Chainfire), and grab the zip in his thread and flash it from recovery. Not sure why it didn't work before.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ottodawg:
Same question here. I originally rooted with zedomax one click soft root, for some stupid reason I took the OTA. What are the options, if any, for getting root back? Currently s-on w 1.22.651.3.71ord also.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
There is a root method. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble updating this rooter for the OTA (due to the lack of a local root exploit), but I will be publishing a guide with exact instructions on rooting this build sometime soon in the development section.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brakeb:
I just tried to use this to root a friend's Evo this morning. Everything worked fine, until I tried to submit the token to htcdev.com. His phone was in recovery, but the htcdev.com site would not load. Said page could not be displayed.

I was able to access the htcdev.com site from Chrome and IE, but the two times we tried while attempting to root the phone failed...

Is the site messed up in the rooting app, or is there something else?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bjg020683:
Is it possible for you to send me your original backup....you know 1.13. I don't want any of your information but I need to go back because my phone is not working properly after rooting with the new update. Will this work?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
No sure, I'll look into it today. But if he has a custom recovery already, you don't need to root with the rooter, just flash the SuperSU zip (search xda for it) or a custom rom.

Unfortunately that wont work. It's more than just the /system, /boot and /data partitions that say you're running 1.13.651.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bjg020683:
Gotcha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
You could try running the rooter again, no harm done. It is possible that one of the accounts the rooter used is down. Also, you said something about it being in recovery, so that's why I added that about TWRP
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brakeb:
yea... it never got to that point... I don't know what TWRP looks like anyway... I've been a CWM guy since my OG droid...

We tried the rooter twice... I sent him the link to this forum thread, so hopefully he'll give it another try... this method looks pretty robust, so the chance of bricking appears to be very low.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bjg020683:
Im having a problem. When I plug my phone in by USB to my PC. Why does it show as a CD Drive (E:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Yeah, there's really a 0% chance of bricking while rooting. This doesn't really touch or modify anything that would brick your phone. The only thing that may is if you turn off your phone at the exact moment it is flashing the Unlock_code.bin in hboot to unlock the bootloader, but that would have to be perfect timing that just can't be done haha.
