No, waiting for it won't fix that issue. You were having a different one bravo. Make sure you have no other HTC applications running, and if you have another adb server running, kill it first.

hey guys

semi noob here but have been readin the forums for long time trying to self learn this stuff, so ive been doin alot of reading in this thread and online and i feel like im getting conflicted info, few quick questions if someone could please answer them, have stock evo lte with the 2.13 OTA update, hardware 0003, my questions are 1) will this method work with the 2.13 update 2) will it erase all the data on my phone, the original post says backup with titanium( i bought pro had it on old rooted original evo) but titanium requires root so that wont work 3) on old evo I had to worry about backing up the wimax keys are there any issues with lte not up to speed on the real differences yet, and lastly 4) if i havent used google wallet yet do i still need to worry about clearing anything out for it, just wanna make sure this goes smoothly without any issues, i have fastboot turned off and the htc drivers installed and my .net up to date on the computer, thanks again for your time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bravo1565:
I'm my experiance I had to physically put in fast boot USB then it started to work have you tried that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I don't understand. If I go to fastboot first it won't connect, it says phone not connected. And if I go into fastboot during the process it says my phone is not connected. Now it's saying HT24VS400853 Connected - NOT A Sprint EVO 4G LTE!. I cannot believe how much of a pain in the a$$ this is. Even when I try to manually do it thru Zedomax's route it stops in the command prompt after asking for the token with <waiting for the device>. I have both of the files installed and I'm following the directions to the T and nothing but failure after failure. :(

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
this method works on the 2.13 base although you might have to manually reboot to bootloader yourself. All your data will be wiped . You don't need to worry about lte and you dont need to worry about google wallet either
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bravo1565:
Wait so is your bootloader unlocked

I'm trying to do this on a brand new 64 bit Asus laptop. I installed the Windows and HTC drivers as required then turned on usb debugging. When I open up regawMOD it will tell me its waiting for my device to reboot into bootloader after a reset yet my phone never changes from the home screen. And if I manually put it into fastboot it tells me my phones not connected. Is there any other way to do this besides this and Zedomax's route? I appreciate everyone's help.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
When you say "Manually reboot into bootloader" how do I achieve this? Or does he mean just restart the phone?

Looking for this info as well. Brand new phone, all I need root for is WiFi tether for my nexus 7 tablet. With the latest OTA, how does one do the load into boot loader to run the root process?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
If that's all you want it for just downloaded foxfi app. You can WiFi tether with no root.

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!! (w/no LTE)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
The latest OTA breaks FoxFi. No longer works.

I just need the simplest way to root this phone, I don't need ROMs or S-Off or anything like that. Simple root, that's it. haha

I will use the Nexus 7 tablet for all my ROMing addictions...

How do you boot this phone into bootloader/fastboot? On the Rezound you pulled the battery and then did the Vol Down+Power to get to it, but you cannot pull the battery on this device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Either turn off your phone and hold down power and vol down or while your phone is on hold down power then volume down until the screen turns off then let go of power only for 1 second then press and hold it again and you will be in bootloader.

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!! (w/no LTE)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
Got it. Had to disable fast boot, then the DwnVol+PWR combo got me into Bootloader.

When I get home, I will use the root tool and see if it works. My work laptop won't let me install the HTC drivers,so it will have to wait till I get home. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

Looks awesome, will try it when I get home, but one question that I have is, can you just root the phone without unlocking the bootloader or anything else that could cause a warranty issue?

I know that even if you relock the bootloader, it will say Relocked. So is there a simple way to just root it without unlocking, in order to get tethering, and easily reversed with an RUU should the need arise? It would also make the process simpler to unroot it and take a new OTA or something, rather than go through the whole unlocking process and losing all your data, etc...

Just looking for the easiest, most idiot-proof way to get wifi tethering to work, which requires root and nothing else.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Per Zedomax with the latest ota you cannot root first then backup then unlock bootloader. I heard you can use this utility to backup before you run regawmod but I haven't tried it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
Not that worried about data at this point, already backed up all my stuff to the SD card with Astro.

So just run that utility and it does it all, and can be relocked to get another OTA at some point?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
To receive an OTA you flash stock rom and recovery then relock bootloader and accept ota
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mista_k:
when i try running it on my computer, it starts, i click root then yes, then it says waiting for phone to reboot, but then it never does. then my regawmod on my computer ends up "not responding", then i have to force close it. then after reopening it, it says the adb interface is already running, if i hit quit it shuts down the program, if i hit continue it just sits there forever...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Read a few pages back. I believe you have to manually reboot when the program tries to. I will try it also when I get home.

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!! (w/no LTE)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
I'll try and fix this in the next update. Don't know why rebooting to the bootloader isn't working.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mista_k:
I tried doing it while it was "not responding" thinking once i got it there it would start responding lol... nope. So wondering any other ways to get around this? Will try disabling the fast boot and restart into bootloader.

UPDATE: No luck... got the NOT an evo lte message...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Yeah same with me. I tried to restart once it said it was and i tried to go into bootloader when it said it was and still nothing. Jeez this phone seems unrootable!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BlackRhino:
So far I seem to be having luck, had the same issue with the application not responding and phone not rebooting.

I opened program with admin, and clicked root me, nothing happens on the phone, so what I did is press and hold power, reboot phone, pressed the volume down button once reset is pressed, (occasionally repressing and holding volume down quickly) I went into bootloader, and selected fastboot. By as soon as i went into fast boot the program on computer started responding again and grabbed token data. The phone rebooted and once I got android again I skipped past most of the "new phone" dialog and re-enabled usb debug and keep awake.

Currently flashing recovery... The program will lock up again, Rebooting back into fastboot made it past that step..

Eventually it going to want to boot to recovery, hold vol down until you get recovery. then select that option. The program on computer will continue and explain how to do things.

Finished!!!!!

Boot loader now says

Tampered

Unlocked

S-ON

with a recovery option in green.

In short, when the program begins to not respond, or sits there, reboot into fastboot.

Then Eventually it will want to reboot into recovery, so go to recovery mode (vs fastboot) and continue.

Well uninstalling the drivers did nothing. And i tried your method and it did boot into bootloader by restarting and hitting the volume key but its just sitting there as the RegawMOD says NOT RESPONDING. Loosing all hope man, need some serious help.

Make sure Fastboot is off on the evo. (the one in power settings)

I did this with the latest OTA udate too... (I'm stupid I know...)

I'm trying to use this tool, but it is sticking at the reboot to bootloader at the beginning. my phone never reboots and eventually the RegawMOD shows "Not Responding" and I have to force close it. I've rebooted my PC. Drivers and NET framework is installed. I re-downloaded the tool. USB debugging is enabled, fast boot disabled. No success. Any thoughts?

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Just reboot the phone manually and see if it continues
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Here we go again haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Iceman248:
I had to reboot it forcefully into the bootloader, then navigate to fastboot and then it went itself to fastboot usb and began, but now it's stuck after I selected yes for unlocking it, it turned off and has stayed off, RegawMOD stays on instructions for what to do on unlock screen with option to continue if it was already unlocked (not the case).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Try turning it on, you should be unlocked
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Iceman248:
So I booted it back up myself, went to home screen, was clearly unlocked as it had been reset. I rebooted into bootloader, said unlocked, so I clicked continue on RegawMOD. It rebooted phone and is now flashing recovery.

This is serving as a guide for anyone who runs into this issue, as I couldn't find anything on it. Thanks for the help.

Recovery is not flashing by the way. So much for the automation. Thanks for the tool anyhow. I'm sure it works most all of the time for others.

Root Already

Hi!

​

If I have my EVO rooted with the older version and now I want to use this one for unlocking the bootloader and everything else, Do I need to put it back to stock or I can leave it "as is" and apply this Rooter?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] znc62511:
I successfully rooted and have recovery. I tried flashing a couple different roms and they flash successfully in recovery but my screen just stays black after I reboot. I wiped everything before I flashed. I was able to restore my backup I created right after rooting. Any ideas? Sorry if this is a stupid question. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
You need to flash the kernel separately. Grab the adb tools package if you haven't done so yet. Extract it and then open the rom you flashed and extract the boot image. Place the boot image in the adb folder and put your phone in fastboot. Assuming you have windows,open the adb folder. Hold shift and right click and select open cmd prompt. Now in the terminal type fastboot devices to make sure you are connected. If you get a response stating fastboot, type fastboot flash boot boot.img and reboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
Most new base roms require twrp 2.2.2.0 you may need to update recovery

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] znc62511:

I updated my recovery and restored default settings in recovery. Still not working, after flashing rom, phone will go to white htc screen and no further with any rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
If you are s-on you need to flash boot.IMG seperately from the Rom through fastboot or flash GUI

LtEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] znc62511:
Boot.img or GUI

Sorry im not sure what that is or where to find it. I appreciate your help, I dont remember ever having to do something like this.

EDIT: I searched this thread and found other people talking about how to flash and where to find boot.img. thanks for your help.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jonathan.strunk:
i make no promises but i just did this today. Basically every time it told me it was waiting to reconnect after boot, i just rebooted into bootloader/fastboot manually. The first time it said flashing recovery and then reboot into recovery i tried that and nothing... just a normal boot. So i rebooted again, this time into bootloader and then fastboot. This time it finished and worked. I had to manually reboot a few more time but eventually it was done.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] k000:
yes, looks like I am also finally there.. or close..

I was stuck on the TeamWin... loader, and then could not find the RagawMOD.. .zip file.. Was I supposed to save it on SD card somewhere ?

I see "Tampered" and "Unlocked" but no SU file on the phone..

And once eventually when I have the SU/Rooted how do I flash other ROMs ?

If you plan to flash custom rom you don't have to flash superuser, common misconception. Flashing superuser is just to root stock, all custom roms are flashed with super user already baked in
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
This is a misleading, half-assed post. New base ROMs DONT need a new recovery.

Using the newest TWRP DOES allow you to use HTC dumlock feature so you don't need to fastboot flash, but read their thread to learn how to use it.

ok guys, ive got a few questions. so last night i tried the lazy panda s-off and bricked my phone. i used the regaw-mod previously to gain root, this was some time ago and ive enjoyed my phone very much since. so, last night i decided to go for the full s-off and bricked it. no clue what went wrong. now i am waiting for a replacement device from sprint, it should be here tomorrow or wed. now, my question is this.....

if i get the new device and it has a bootloader other than v1.12, what are the options for rooting it? i haven't even looked into rooting anything since i got the phone and rooted it the first time. now i search and there are threads every where with varying steps to achieve this. its not that i cant read and certainly not because i cant search.... i just dont know which to follow. thanks for any responses. sorry for asking such a redundant question.

ok, so i see in the op that this root method is successful on software up to version 2.13.xxxx. i recently bricked my launch day device that was hboot 1.12. i did so during th lazy panda method of s-off, yes, i know i should have just lef t it alone. anyways, so i got a replacement device today and it is hboot 1.15, and software version 1.22651.3 7.10rd and hardware version 003. I WANT ROOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! so whats the best way to get it? am i gonna be stuck using some flash image gui or htc dumlock crap?? is there a way to ruu to a older hboot yet?? i guess im just asking what my options are at this point. ive read many many many different threads, all with conflicting info and yes, i searched and it led me here. im sure all of these questions have been answered and i am sorry for asking again.

so i guess to clarify the question... if this root method will work for my device with the current software and hboot, what is the difference from the older hboot cuz according to the op it looks like ill have all the same functionality that i had with the older hboot?????????
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
You can root with this, but you can't get s-off yet, if it were me I would ruu to the 2.13 base and run one of the latest roms some have automated kernel installers so you don't need to flash kernel seperately...just my 2 cents ...also you can not go backwards with firmware on LTEvo

LtEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
So, to clarify... Ruu to 2.13 then root and stick with a 2.13 based ROM??

Won't that update my hboot again to 1.19 and worsen my chances to ever get s-off?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
Yes it will but with automated kernel installers I see no need for s-off just my opinion

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
So, what's a automated kernel installer? I guess I've never seen that before. Do devs list that in the features? And if I want to flash another kernal, is still have the option of the likes of flash image GUI or HTC dumlock or pushing a boot.img right?
