[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
It works just like flash GUI except you don't need to flash seperately, the script installs the kernel with the Rom. And yes if you want to change roms or kernels you can fastboot flash the boot.IMG, or use flash GUI. I know that mean Rom uses auto kernel installer if you want to check it out further.

LtEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
Ok, one more question.... What about radios and firmware? How can I flash those?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
They come with the ota or ruu...unfortunately with s-on hboot 1.15 that's the only way to upgrade

LtEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
So unrooting and relocking, then Ruu or ota, then re root.... If possible. Is that right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
No need to unroot, just relock run ruu from fastboot USB, unlock, flash recovery, then flash rooted rom. If Rom doesn't have auto kernel installer then make sure to fastboot flash kernel 1st

Edit if you take ota you do need to unroot 1st.

I am trying to run the rooter. When I click "Root Me" it says it is rebooting to bootloader and even says "Done" but my phone never reboots and then the program stops responding.

I have the drivers installed, Android SDK, and .Net.

I was rooted before and recently locked and unrooted and took all the OTA updates. Now I want to root again but am getting stuck. Any thoughts?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
You have to reboot manually
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] k000:
Looks like exact same issues as me..

Everytime you see the rooter say done or waiting, you need to reboot manually.

BTW - digressing a bit here. Does anyone know how can I tell if I nuked the secure element or not ? I flashed a ROM without clearing Wallet info and can't tell now if Wallet is there or broken.. ? I was able to successfully add cards but don't know if they will work or not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpkotor:
Can you elaborate? The rooter froze for me on "Rebooting to bootloader.... DONE". I held the power and vol down until the phone turned off... waited. Held power + vol down until boot loader... waited... rebooted bootloader... waited.. rebooted normally... waited... did the standard hold power > restart... waited. power + vol down x 2 (to bootloader).. waiting. Booter still frozen and every time this happens I have to reset my computer because some file from the booter stays open in some process and I don't know which so I can't end it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
It will say something like secure element not responding or similar, I don't remember the message but it pops up shortly after opening wallet. If you were able to add cards, you should be fine

Something else may be causing problems, try rebooting normally or rebooting to bootloader as soon as it says rebooting. Make sure fastboot is off in settings as well

Thanks !!!

I am soo all set to start flashing again :) had setup a call to goto store and get the device exchanged but guess no need now

any help would be great i have tried all the methods i could find on the internet and none work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skullkandy:
Pardon my ignorance but I'm trying to go back to stock as well to exchange my phone. I tried running several different versions of the RUU and none of them worked. could someone be kind enough to expand on the "unroot, relock" steps? I read several places in the "return to stock" thread that if you relock before running the RUU you will brick your phone. But that thread is for lazypanda s-off which I did not do, I only used regawmod rooter. thank you.

Relock bootloader, then run ruu from fasboot USB from windows pc

LtEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] atlgator:
If you took the most recent OTA with Hboot 1.19, you may find relocking and running the matching RUU doesn't work. I have tried it multiple times without success.

Hopefully HTC updates the RUU.

Application keeps saying not responding

Not sure why application keeps saying not responding any otherway i can root my device
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
You make sure fastboot is disabled in settings?

Also, (in general) when it gets to the 'booting to bootloader' and now has to be done manually, try either power and volume down, or maybe even just hold power for a minute, maybe the rooter will push it to bootloader once power is held.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
If its at the email to receive token, may just be HTC being slow to respond or slow network. Have you tried it a few times yet?

email problem

thank you for your reply. much appreciated. i tried a different computer at my office. worked flawlessly. have a huge smile now. do you have any suggestions on kernels and roms? i like the look of the viper venom one or whatever its called
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
Clean Rom, mean Rom, miklatte, venom, tranquility... All good choices. Choose your flavor... Or, if your sd card is large enough, all of em. Get em all set up, create a back up of each, keep the backup and just flash back and forth from each til ya settle on one!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
I thought this might be really helpful for you all that have to use HTCDev unlock with the new HBOOT. Might even be good to add to the OP??

*I posted this in the General section but I bet EVERY person that reads this thread and needs to use this method would appreciate this feature.

---------------

So even though I have been s-off since the Panda hit the scene, I think those that have yet to unlock/root might REALLY like to know this.

Basically you can create a back up using ADB on your NON-ROOTED device. Unlock/Root (which we all know will require a factory reset when using HTCDev Unlock) and then with your freshly rooted device, you can restore from the ADB backup you create.

I haven't tried this out yet (just got the update and attached change log) but might try it out just to see. Lucky for me all the devices I support have been Panda *certified but this will be real handy if I have to deal with a un-s-off-able device.

Good and Evo did a write up on how to do it. I haven't tried it BUT you can find the instructions here >>>>> http://goo.gl/9rr8N

still no worky

fast boot was checked so i unchecked it and debugging on of course. when i run the root me program it detects phone gives me the warning i click ok to continue then it says done but my phone never reset or turned off. and the root me program wont close. i have to force close it. it simply says rebooting to bootloader... DONE LOL NOT DONE

uninstalled htc sync downloaded the evo4glteroot.zip and ran that still nada. do i need to bring my phone back to the original b4 updates. i did a factory reset but im still at version2.13.651.1 710RD
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
So check this out... I RUU'd back to stock after relocking... was not happy with a lot of the ROM's out there.... gave minimal performance gains but poorer battery life than stock and all I really care about is getting wifi tethering...

So I reset back to stock, and went to reroot it with this tool to have stock rooted...

The tool no longer works, says connected, but that the phone is NOT a Sprint EVO 4G LTE at the bottom of the app window on my PC. I used it last week and it was fine.

HBoot is 1.19

Any idears?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] js2shanks:
Has this been updated for H-boot 1.19? I have been trying to do your method to unlock and root but right when I click root me and it says my phone restarted it has done nothing? my phone still has not restarted and the program freezes? any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
You have to manually fiddle with it and the entire process takes about 30 minutes. This tool doesn't have the ability to force the phone to reboot into recovery, Fastboot or even the Bootloader, so while the "process" is automated, you have to manually initiate each and every step ...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yazyazoo:
I used this method to unlock bootlader and loaded MeanROM. S-ON still. I need to get back to stock ROM for a repair at sprint store. What would be the fastest way to get back to stock and show that the bootloader hasn't been tampered?

Thanks.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
ok, so i have a few questions. right now i am stock with hboot 1.15. my question is this.... if i use this method now, and retain this hboot, alot of the roms now suggest or require the new radios... how can i update the radios in order to run them if i am s-on still?? i previously had a device that was hboot 1.14 and was rooted with this method but i bricked it last week trying to feed the damn panda. i got a replacement but it was hboot 1.15 and now i hardly see the point unless im satisfied with sticking with the older roms. i know i can bring everything up to date by running the ruu but it seems as though people are having issue with rooting that version. even if i did that though, how would i update everything later on to remain current?

please forgive my repeditive questions, i have read through so many threads the last week that i have confused myself. between trying to figure out what to do with my device and trying to fix my girlfiends evo 3d my head is kinda spinning. thanks in advance.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
Before you take the OTA, i have hboot 1.15 and all the latest ROMs run buttery smooth on my phone. I don't think you gain anything by relocking, ruu and OTA.

just my opinion.

Also people are having mixed results with the new radio. Like I said everything running fine for me on 1.15

Don't do it. RUU don't work for hboot 1.19 as of last week.

Not without problems, but it worked!!

The RegawMOD does work to root, install TWRP and SU, but not as automatically as suggested. Every time the phone was supposed to reboot I had to unplug the cable and reboot into the bootloader or recovery manually.

I am stuck on the bootloader

I got my replacement LTE today (dead usb port) from spring and I figured out i should upload the latest ROM available...

So here I am, I went and ran RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter without any problem - phone seems to be working fine until I flashed Viper4G 2.0.2. It went through without problem but on reboot I got stuck on the FastBoot page - I can go to the Bootloader page and even to TRW by selecting recovery but every reboot I come back to that same sequence...

I only have access to the bootloader page and this is the info I can get from it:

*TAMPERED*

*UNLOCKED*

HBoot is 1.15.0000

Radio is 1.05.11.0606

I realize I still have the S-On is that the problem? If yes what should I do?

Am i missing something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
You need adb tools or sdk and you need to extract the kernel from viper and flash it through fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot.img

ADB Tools Mini SDK Extract the boot.img and put it in adb folder, open the folder and shift+right click and select open command window here and connect phone in fastboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RaphB:
That simple... It worked...

OM4 RULES!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
I understand this tool uses a random selection from 100 included email addresses, not the users own real email address or htc dev account.

But is there any identifying info sent to htc? Such as the phones phne number, serial number, meid, imei etc?

I'm not worried about network stuff like how their web server can see tge ip your browser comes from, just anything that htc can use later to prove that you ever unlocked.

In another thread someone suggested that even if there is uniquely identifying info, that all it proves is that you downloaded an unlocker that would work on your phone, not that you used it. Is that true? Is that the way the process works?

The point of the question is that the recently discovered hboot downgrade method requires twrp, which requires dev unlock. So, to get s-off on hboot 1.15 or above, you can not avoid htc dev unlock along the way. So, does that actually matter?

As long as the process merely delivers you an unlocker, but does not verify or prove that you ever actually used it, then getting s-off this way is sufficiently deniable that they can't void your warranty as long as you use the power of s-off to put everything back to pristine stock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
It only voids htc warranty if they can prove the damage is due to unofficial software. If you have tep you can have your device replaced no questions asked
