[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tammerlane:
Evening everyone. I've finally made the move from the evo forums to the evo 4g lte forums. I have scanned the posts here and am not sure I have found the answer, so i am going to post my problem here:

I am trying to use this method to unlock/root. I have .net 4 installed, the htc drivers installed, and the regawmod rooter x64, since i am working with win 7 64 bit. And I have USB debugging selected. When i attach the cable and run the rooter, I get the Root Me! button, and I click. I get the message why that its rebooting to the bootloader, but my phone is not rebooting. The onscreen info shows it is done. I have tried a few different USB ports, so I am at a loss as far as what to do next. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I rebooted into the bootloader screen, it still shows locked.

Thanks!

Edit: HBoot screen info, if it helps

*****Locked****, s-on, HBoot 1.19.0000, radio 1.12.11.0809, OpenDSP v29.1.0.45.0622,

software version: 2.13.651.1710rd

You have to reboot manually, you could wait for it to be fixed but dev doesn't have a device on hand to test. You could unlock manually but that requires actually thinking for yourself. I don't mean to sound rude but the last 15 or so pages are filled practically every other page with the exact same issue and the exact same advice. If you had taken enough time to actually search you would see the same issue posted and reposted along with the advice. I don't mind helping, i actually go pretty far out of my way in some cases. I just hate when someone says they've already looked, a quick search found several posts and not surprisingly all from this thread
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gezzuzz:
at what point do you manual reboot. cant find any details on this

When the program says rebooting you reboot the phone, otherwise it will get stuck

If you are trying to run it in fastboot start in Android, make sure debugging is enabled and fastboot is disabled a d when it says rebooting phone then manually reboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dannydeez:
My phone got stuck a few times and I had to manually reboot to get some steps to work. After the flashing recovery step the program is supposed to reboot the phone and push root files. It wouldnt reboot. I manually rebooted about 10 times. Booted into bootloader and rebooted from there about 5 times. USB debugging was always ON. I tried it with fastboot on and off. Nothing worked. It would not push the root files to my phone. I eventually just got fed up and unplugged the phone and used this root method. It worked perfectly. Then I downloaded the newest version of Team Win Recovery

Im just posting this up here in case someone else has the same problem and it comes up in a search. Everything works fine on my phone now. I basically just had to combine two different methods to get my phone rooted as this one didnt work as it was supposed to.

I should also mention that I bought my phone on launch day(pre order) and I was still running it on the original software version when I attempted this root. I NEVER did any update of any type on this phone.

If anyone has questions please PM me as I will not check this thread again. It fills up too fast for me to keep up with it.

I just went and got the identifier token

I tried updating TWRP but it will not load the zip what is the best way from here to S off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crispy11:
there isnt a way to s off on hboot 1.19 yet they just in the past week got hbot 1.15 to so off, so you and many other like me if you updated to 1.19 are stuck for now:(

Not true, you can downgrade your hboot to 1.12 and feed the panda

Yes, I just did mine Sunday. I was at 1.19 with the new 2.13.651.1 OTA. I'm S-OFF now with 1.12. That new method is very user friendly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hocuz711:
I was able to successfully root from 2.13.651.1

Like others in the thread, I had to manually reboot the phone into fastboot/recovery accordingly.

I think I'm in trouble - PLEASE HELP!

My phone:

Evo 4G LTE

LazyPanda

JEWEL PUT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT – 1.12.1111

Radio – 1.02.12.0427

Recovery – TWRP 2.2.2

ROM – CyanogenMod 10

I tried to upgrade to TWRP 2.3.1:

Download - Bootloader Method:

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jewel/PJ75IMG-twrp-2.3.1.0-jewel.zip

Download the file above and rename to PJ75IMG.zip and place it on the root of the sdcard. Boot into bootloader and accept the update. Boot back to the ROM and rename/remove the file

Everything went well and the update was successful. However, my phone is stuck in a boot loop – clocking on the Cyanogen boot animation (the word “CyanogenMod” in the middle of a circle going clockwise on the outside and counter-clockwise on the inside). I let it run as long as 30 minutes - - no luck.

I am able to long-hold the power button to bring me back to the Upgrade screen. If I hit yes <VOL UP>, it updates successfully and asks to hit power to re-boot. If I hit no <VOL DOWN>, the upgrade is aborted and I am asked to hit power to re-boot.

I‘m thinking my options are:

1.	Try the “RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter” to get back to where I was

2.	Try the 1.13.165.1 RUU to get back to factory and then re-root.

3.	???

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,

Gary
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xxRAMOTHxx:
Yes. There are no s-off methods available yet. This unlocks bootloader and adds root and flashes a custom recovery. So you will have the ability to flask kernels, roms and recoveries. Radios not so much....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jayseersts:
thanks for the info...really easy to do tho...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoCalJim:
Thanks for the simple method.

Need you clarify something for me, if this method sends my actual hardware information and if so does this void my ability to return the phone through the insurance should i need to?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
With HTC yes. With others? Only if they're DICKS
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
does the op have the updated link
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoCalJim:
It would be through the Best Buy insurance, but depending on what was wrong with it thinking it might get shipped back to HTC then reported to Best Buy as non repairable. Just worried about unforeseen physical damage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ladicx:
My phone reboots to the bootloader then nothing happens. My bootloader says tampered most likely because i was already rooted using another tool in the dev thread. before i ran this i removed supersu on my phone. Aside from that everything is correct for me in the instructions. Please help!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djR3Z:
What popup is showing in the rooter when it reboots to the bootloader?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ladicx:
you see this screen because the device is waiting for your evo to reconnect to the pc after a reboot. Says phone not connected on the bottom and my device is just sitting in the bootloader...

Yea i hear you. Im stuck right now in the bootloader waiting for htc dev step to occur. I just watched the video and my device isnt getting to here. Just saying waiting for your evo to reconnect to the computer after a reboot. Would love some help if anyone knows anything:(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aaron130:
I got a question. If I do this and decide to return my Evo to Sprint within the 14 days, is there a way to go back to stock? Or if I do this am I screwed and cant return it to Sprint?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 2LoWw7:
Yes, RUU.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fapstick:
You need to go in an re enable USB debugging in developer options. Your comp is not seeing the phone it sounds like.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aaron130:
Thx, where would I get the RUU? I don't see it in the development thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] caguas56:
maybe not!. as I understand the bootloader will show "Relocked" which means it has been tampered with it before. you may be in trouble or not depending the store if they look at the bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djR3Z:
I've gone through a lot of phones and have never had them look at the bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aaron130:
Ya im not too worried about them looking at the boot loader as it is I show them things they had no clue about! I'd bet my car they don't even know how to get to bootloader if they even know what bootloader is!! Lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Good god people. Why do people care about what your bootloader says? Get insurance in case you ever have problems. And more importantly, once you have unlock and root, you can always fix your own problems. Sheesh. Warranty? Seriously, who gives a damn. Fix your own stuff with root.

Edit: sorry. All calmed down now.

i actually got anxious and took the SuperSU one from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 and modified the script a little bit. i peeled out the part that i didn't like/see the need for on this device (the part that moves around the maps and youtube apps) re-zipped and re-signed and it worked. currently trying to determine the etiquette for posting the zip, probably going to PM the OP and get his feedback

Hi guys - I am getting an error when i run the rooter saying necessary HTC drivers are missing

it says i can get the drivers by installing HTC sync or installing them manually from the zip - i had installed from the zip initially but got the same message so then i installed the latest version of HTC sycn and i'm still getting it.

I am on a mac running Windows 7 32bit in parallels.

could that be the problem?

any advice would be most appreciated

cheers

You will find a file named ANDROIDUSB.sys in your Program Files\HTC\Driver folder. Copy that file and paste it into C:\Windows\system32\drivers and it should run fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] revaew:
When I run the rooting utility, I click on "ROOT ME" then on screen it says "rebooting to bootloader, then instantly says "done" even though my phone doesn't do anything. Then the utility stops responding, and I can't select "root me" again until I restart my computer. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Some people have had success manually rebooting the phone at that stage and then the program starts working again. I couldnt get it to work personally. I ended up using this guide instead http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] znc62511:
Not working for me either

Yea this is weird because I have already rooted three LTE's with this program and now I'm rooting and its doing that same thing. I thought it was just me. Please post if you figure out a resolution, really appreciate the simple one click method.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DisplacedMic:
that worked - thanks!

and wow - this was amazing! that couldn't have been easier. i got this done on a mac running WinXP in VMware fusion. The only difference from the online tutorials is that i had to take the cable out and put it back in every time the phone was "waiting for the phone to reboot"

but i think others have reported the same thing.

anyway - that was incredible! next i'm going to downgrade my bootloader so i can get s-off

thanks regaw!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] revaew:
I have rooted my phone using this program before. But I think the problem is my something with my phone as I cannot get it to boot into bootloader manually either. It loads up the bootloader, screen loads white bootloader screen for like a split second, then goes back to black.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pathtologos:
+1. same issue here. I have also used this method two times before and never had this problem. Going to try manually going into bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] znc62511:
Same problem here

I have previously rooted too, only a week or two ago and now im having the same problem as you, phone will not stay in bootloader but for just a second then phone reboots. Let me know if you figure out something and I will do the same. Thanks

Ok as soon as your bootloader pops up let go of power and hit it again real quick to get into fastboot mode,then use this method http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/ I am going to try this , will report back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pathtologos:
Guys, I need some help. As I posted (just a few posts ago), since the the application would not actually reboot my phone (although it said done rebooting and then would just hang) I went ahead and booted into the bootloader manually. The root tool continued. As the tool progresses, it reboots quite a few more times (as anyone who used this software already knows). Well, for each time, I had to manually do it. Amazingly, everything seemed to go through--I have twrp recovery, my bootloader says unlocked (and tampered, of course), and I was able to flash the su.zip (although I had to do it separately from the rooting process, for some reason that last bit wouldn't happen). Anyway, I've checked for root access and I have it. I can boot into twrp recovery no problem. Only issue? I can't flash roms. I tried venom rom, clean rom, and niether worked. Venom would hang at 90% (in Aroma) and would not complete. I had to volume up + power to boot back into recovery and restore stock. Then, with clean rom, the flashing process would start, then I'd get a big red "FAILED" message in twrp. This really sucks, its my wife's phone and I did this for her so I could install a nice rom for her. I thought of just putting in a bunch of mods myself (since flashing su.zip seemed to work) but a lot of the mods require a deodexed rom, which I don't have and can't get.

Any ideas? Am I going to need to restore using an RUU and start over?

Thanks!!

This worked for me, im unlocked and rooted now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
Your s-on which means you can't flash the boot IMG in recovery without taking some extra steps. There are countless threads covering this matter.

Search is your friend

Your best place to start is at om4s guide in the Q&A section. If your using the app its under sticky.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pathtologos:
Thanks for the response. I followed this method before and never bothered with s-off. I was still able to flash roms. Something is different here, I think. I'll try your suggestion anyway but I just wanted to point out that I had this device for a while, never had s-off and was still able to flash roms after using this tool.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
You probably had the original hboot 1.12 which allowed flashing of boot imgs. All newer hboots don't allow it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pathtologos:
YOU sir, are GOOD. I had completely forgotten about that possibility since when I previously had the device, I was on hboot version 1.12. So, do I have to get s-off now to flash a rom? If u could point me in the right direction, I'd be appreciative.

Thanks again.

EDIT : she's on 1.19, btw
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] znc62511:
The easiest way to do it , is just flash meanrom, it has a kernel installer built in, read the install instructions it will take about 10 mins to flash all with kernel, but thats the easiest way to fix it from the point your at.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lfrp:
okay, this is not working... when i click root me it doesnt do anything. and then the program is not responding.

i have software version 2.13.651.7 710RD...

any work around to fix this??

thanks...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] revaew:
are you implying that by installing meanrom would grant S-off?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
No it automatically installs the kernel with the Rom so there is no need to flash boot IMG seperately through fastboot, thus eliminating the need for s-off at least from the Rom flashing aspect

LtEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pathtologos:
Thanks man. Just one question : does this mean that mean rom is the only rom ill be able to flash? Or are u saying that by flashing it ill solve my "inability to flash any rom" problem?

Thanks to u too. Version of twrp is 2.2.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
Make sure you upgrade to at least version 2.2.2.0 before you flash meanrom, or it wont flash

LtEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pathtologos:
Real quick, like I asked above. Is mean rom the only one I'll be able to flash? Or does flashing it allow me to flash others. It looks like a great rom anyway and my wife isn't a crack flasher anyway. I'm just curious. Thanks again

Trying to root my evo and it says that it's not a sprint evo... it is in fact a sprint evo. What's the problem?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
If you want to flash a different rom get an app called flash GUI from the market. Download the Rom you want to flash then use flash GUI to extract the boot IMG from that Rom and it will flash it for you, then you can flash the Rom you downloaded as normal

Ugh, I'm so sorry about all these problems. There must be something in the updates to the device that broke some part of my library and it's communication with the device. I know it worked fine on older builds. I'm in classes right now and they are taking up most of my free time that I have after my work gets over. I'm a little stressed out trying to work to pay for school, but I will try to get to fixing this sometime. I may end up just locking and updating my phone so I can just debug on mine, especially now that they found the way to downgrade the bootloader. If anyone in here develops in C# and would like the source to look at, pm me and we can work something out. The source for AndroidLib (my communication library) is located HERE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ladicx:
I relocked, RUU, and used your tool recently. I definitely had some issues with freezing during the HTC dev lock portion but I was eventually able to use your tool successfully. I made sure I ran it as admin and made sure my internet browser was closed. Not sure exactly what did it but it worked :D and I was able to s-off.

I also used your boot loader customizer after I finished s-off. Love your work man, your tools have helped me since the our phones release:thumbup:

Everything but the reboot into recovery seems to be working. The only other problem I had was that I didn't manually reboot it in time for the installer to install the recovery.img. Some simple instructions from anyone who's confused should be fine for the time being I think. No need to work yourself to death :)

If anyone else has a similar issue, Here is the instructions to do it manually via fastboot :) It was an easy fix.

No need to apologize man. Without your work I'd be completely lost. Yeah it took a little extra work, but I learn that way. Thanks for all u do.

It does look like there might be some issues with the HTCDev.com servers right now that might be causing some problems. After trying the automated tool a couple times without success, I proceeded with the manual root process on HTCDev.com. The site seems to be running rather slow in general, and after finally submitting my token, it gave me an error that the email could not be sent.

Error Code: 122.

Error Reason: Email cannot be sent.

I've tried this a couple times, and have verified that my email address on file with HTCDev.com is correct. I'll keep at it, and let you know if it goes through. This might be the root of a lot of the issues experienced with the root tool. (Sorry, bad pun, but I just had to do it) :D
