So, using TWRP, how does he make a backup on his EVO? He is a little miffed about losing all his apps... apparently, you guys do a factory reset after rooting... I didn't tell him about "Titanium backup" until after he rooted it...

How does he get into recovery to make a backup? He's running stock for the near future, but he needs a backup... just in case...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
Whenever I try to run the above rooting .exe files, I keep getting either a "fatal error" response or just an "error" response, program will now terminate.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Do you have everything in the Requirements section? More specifically, .NET 4.0?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
It appears so. When I looked into my program files, I see:

.NET Framework 4 Client Profile

.NET Framework 4 Extended

BTW, if I click repair on either file, to be sure I've got the right stuff present, the repair fails with an error code and a log of:

Hmm that's odd, is there any more detail in the error? Can I get a screenshot?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
Sure, just edited it to show you the repair error logs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Seems like either your .NET installation is corrupted or the .msi installer is.

I'll try the "fixes" stated in that Microsoft link and see if I'm successful. Nothing's ever easy, is it? Argh!

Damn! Fixes applied, same damn error! Unable to repair .NET Framework at all!

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

I'm going to completely remove both .NET Framework files, reboot my PC, then try installing them from scratch to see if that works. Any suggestions before/while I do that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
That sounds like a plan. It's what I would do.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
OK. If you hang around here for a few minutes, I'll pop back and let you know if that worked. Somehow, with my luck with puters, I doubt I'll be successful.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
If your using the one in the OP you should be good to go.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
To which "one" in the OP are you referring? The .NET Framework file? Never mind. I was thinking of something else. Damn this multi-tasking on an "old" mind. :p

BTW, just finished rebooting, gonna re-install the .NET Framework files and see what happens.

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

Damn! Same frickin' problem. I can't install the .NET Framework files for the life of me. I even reran the msi fix, but that didn't help at all. I keep getting the "fatal error" message and the logs read as follows:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gitit20:
Thank you very much for this root one of the simplest ones i have ever preformed :) I do have one question is there a pre rooted update i can use to update to the latest software?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
Well, I've been at it for several hours, trying everything I can find to fix this issue. I've been completely unsuccessful. None of Microsoft's fixes have worked. Now I have NO .NET framework files installed on my PC after removing them and trying to re-install them. I keep getting the same aforementioned fatal error nags.

I don't know what else to do.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
I'm sorry man :( I'm not sure what to do in this situation. I sure googled it, and look what I came upon lol http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=207002.

If I think of anything, I'll let you know ASAP.

Try installing .NET 3.5 or something to see if that works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
I posted it there because a few guys are IT guys there. Just trying numerous avenues just in case. I'll give 3.5 a try and report back.

I looked into that, and my registry settings appear to be OK, so that's not the issue.

SUCCESS! Alleluiah!!! :victory:

I was FINALLY able to install .NET Framework 4.0. After searching and searching (and searching), I found a post about a specific Windows KB update that was causing this error, so I uninstalled that update, rebooted my PC, and successfully installed the .NET Framework files.

Now I'm running the rooting .exe file.

Any word for us 1.22 users?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ejnelson:
Can we bypass the HTCdev.com step, as it seems to always fail there for me?

I can't seem to get past the htcdev.com step (it never is able to retrieve the email with the Unlock_code.bin file, though I was able to do all of that on my own and unlock the bootloader. Can we then bypass the htcdev step somehow? I'm unable to use the other root method (by zedomax, as it doesn't support the software load I have.)

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
I'm working on updating this for the OTA. Currently involved in another project, but I will get back to this asap.

For now, the manual way is > Unlock via HTC Dev, flash TWRP recovery, flash SuperSU.zip from the SuperSU thread on xda.

As I said to the guy above you, since your bootloader is unlocked, just flash TWRP recovery from fastboot, then flash the SuperSU.zip from the SuperSU thread here on xda.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carrilloevo:
so if I'm locked with 1.22 and want to unlock , can I run this method and at least unlock it and then flash recovery via fastboot? Thanks in advance
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Yessir
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carrilloevo:
so just to make sure im rooted, if I flash recovery and then SU, that means I'm rooted ? again thanks for your patience with the noobs LOL
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Definitely, just flash the recovery then flash the SuperSU zip from chainfire's post and you'll have root. Or instead of that zip you can just flash a new rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jpfowl:
I ran the tool for my first time and I got through unlocking the bootloader from HTC then the program froze. What should I do?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carrilloevo:
Just install twrp via fastboot and after that flash SU and you're done
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Iggys Pop:
Hey guys I need a Lil favor... I've been trying to dl the RegawMODx64.exe version but all I keep getting are .bin files instead of a .exe. Is there anyone who could mirror said file for me right quick? (im at work and I wanna take advantage of the faster bandwidth I get here lol) Thanks again for your works guys!

Edit: I figured it out...for some reason my phone doesn't download it right, keeps trying to save it as a .bin as mentioned above. Downloaded it from a computer just fine, odd.

You will need to do this:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Uh oh, problem.

So today I was working in the mountains (Electrician) and had my phone in my pocket. For about two weeks I had a notification telling me an OTA firmware update (ended up being 1.22...) was available and I kept trying to avoid it. I found something telling me to change a .zip to .bag (otacert something or another) which I did and then rebooted and it seemed to work because I didn't have that annoying notification anymore. Fast forward to a couple of days ago and it was back. I didn't have a chance to see why it was notifying me once again but had planned to address that issue again so it wouldn't update. Well, at one point today I took my phone out of my pocket (no service at about 12k feet up a mountain in the Rockies) and it said that I had accepted the update but it couldn't download the file due to no data connection. So I quickly turned it to airplane mode but now nothing I seem to do will stop it from being paused waiting for the data connection to download so it can update my firmware to 1.22...

How can I make it stop waiting for data to download this file because the next step will be it updates and then I will be unrooted?

If I can't stop this from update somehow is there now a way (I know last I hard there wasn't) I can do a one-click to root again on the newer version of the OS? Last I heard there were other options that also unlocked the bootloader but none of the above would do the newest v1.22... but has this changed?

Thanks for the help! :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Anyone? I hate to seem pushy but I really can't afford to not have data on my phone two days in a row as one day was already too much. I hate to allow the firmware update by enabling my data but I may have no choice if nobody has an answer for me on this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kisakuku:
Setup / Apps, find Updater, clear cache and data.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Are you saying to look for a file called Updater within a folder: Setup/Apps? If so, what is the folder Setup under as I can't seem to find it? How do I clear the cache and data of that file or do you mean just rename the 'Updater' file once I find it and then boot into recovery to clear the cache and data? A few more details and I can get this worked out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kisakuku:
Sorry for my auto correct. Settings / Apps, of course.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
I went to Settings > Apps > Updater and then I clicked Force Stop, ok and then cleared data. The option to clear cache was grayed out and it wouldn't allow me to clear. The System Update download is still paused so I'll reboot and see if it clears.

Did I do this right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kisakuku:
Yep, you got it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Well, I did that exactly and after a reboot the download is still waiting for data to proceed. Grrr

Thoughts? Do you think that if I reboot into TWRP I can clear cache and data there to solve this or ??

I need to go to bed soon so I'm hoping I can get this resolved before then. I hate to have to admit defeat so close to solving this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kisakuku:
And uncheck Scheduled check in Settings / System updates / HTC software update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Yeah, I already did that but I'll double check to see if it got turned back on.

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Yeah, I double checked and it's unchecked but the bad news is that even after I booted into Recovery and cleared Cache and Davlik the system update is still there waiting for data to download/install.

Yet another update: I rebooted again and now I get a popup different than the one I got before. Before I got one saying that there wasn't a data connection and all I could click was 'ok' but this time there was an option to 'discard' in addition to 'ok' which I clicked. Now it's gone so I may be good to go. I'm scared to enable my data/wife as I'm afraid it will pop up again and complete now that data is there. I think I'll reboot and then wait to see if it comes back. If you don't hear back from me again tonight that's good news since I have to go to bed shortly.

Thanks for the help!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Hard reset the phone, would have been my first step because setting the phone up again is much easier than dealing with the new HBOOT crap. Then once the phone comes back up, get over and s-off ASAP. Feed the Panda man, it's hungry. :)

ETA: The reason it gave you the new options was because the update has been downloaded to your phone. I'm not saying it can or even will, but who knows, that damn HTC could have it update automatically... I would STRONGLY suggest S-off the very next chance you can sit down at the computer. Go to the Lazy Panda thread and read the OP and #2 and you should have everything you need.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Just let it download. It'll prompt you to install, and when it does, just tell it not to. No reason to hard reset over it.

Then you can clear data for updater again, and hopefully be rid of the notification.

Hey guys, I am having the same problem. And I updated to the latest last night.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ChewyWade:
If u want to root don't do the htc/Sprint pushed OTA updates! Wait for a root method for your build, update as devs release updates to ROMS

I have never messed with rooting an Evo but I have TeamViewer and money to offer if someone with skills is down to dial my phone in. On 1.13 by the way. About to grab necessary files.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Yeah, if I get some free time today I'll put something together. It won't be all automated though, the user will have to flash a zip separately in recovery once the rooter does as much as it can (since there is no local root exploit method available yet).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamf663:
Looks like it was a mistake for me to do the OTA update before trying to root. For me, rooting fails with being unable to mount RW.

Is it possible to reflash the phone to the out-of-box state?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Active_Matrix:
U could download the RUU and go back. Or restart your computer, re-run the rooter, it should flash twrp, once done go into twrp, and then flash SuperSU. Thats what I did and so far so good!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
If the rooter got that far, you do have TWRP on the phone now. Just flash the SuperSU zip from Chainfire's thread here on xda and you'll have root.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Active_Matrix:
That's what I did
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] todubiro:
So after running this method to attain root, do I then need to run lazypanda to attain s-off ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bjg020683:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chico1983:
Please, please help

Tried doing this 5 different times and it did not work superSU .85 and .94 and it did not work via recovery installed from market and it did not work either.

Thanks you, thank you, THANK YOU.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] noobbs2:
Will you be working on an updated automated method for us noobs? Or should we not be expecting that? Just want to know what to expect in the near future. Thanks for all your work
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
"Expect" is a funny word when it comes to releases on xda. This rooter took ~15 hours of programming to get to where it is right now. Just remember this kind of stuff takes a lot of time, especially when my focus is a great experience for the end user. I could release a crappy product that doesn't work, or looks amateur, but that's not what I want to have associated with my name. Just know that I don't always have 15+ hours of straight time to sit down and code. I am working on it, I just haven't had a lot of time lately to sit and work on this. I have a little free time tomorrow morning (Aug 5th) so I'll see what I can get done before I leave.

New to LTE

So I stepped it up from my 3D and got the LTE. Used this method and wanted to thank all that had something to do with this...it was easy especially for a noob like me.

Still have a question of course...

Is this for root ONLY or do I have S-Off as well?

If I don't have S-off is it possible? and how...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Active_Matrix:
It also depends on what version u r running!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sun1914:

I'm working on an update for this right now, which will be smart and work for both the 1.13 and 1.22, deciding which you have and doing the proper method.

Good stuff man. I don't need it but damn, I likes it! :thumbup::thumbup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Man, just follow the instructions in OP. It absolutely could not be easier. I would offer help they team viewer like you said, but don't have a PC with web connection. But seriously, dan made this foolproof and amazing. What's more, it's not like the S-off method where if it fails you may brick. If it fails it just doesn't finish and you need to double check your driver installation.

Dan has made this beautifully, and professionally (well, not in the getting paid sense of the word, though he should be). Anyhow, give it a shot, you got nothing to lose or worry about.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
That's because you guys have build # 1.22.651.3. That's the build of the update from Sprint we got recently, and I am currently adding support for that build number into this rooter. Coding is in progress.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rc51rider:
PLEASE HELP!!

I ran the rooter program and it had an error pushing SU and now the phone is Stuck on the splash screen and nothing works.

Is there any way to reverse this? I cant even get into bootloader, settings, nothing.

Thanks in advance..

Oh ,man this sucks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
I think I need a little more info to diagnose it. What does the screen look like exactly? Is it the homescreen just without the unlock slider or anything? If so, run the rooter again and it should fix that. Your phone is stuck half in the emulation mode (the local root exploit).

if it's something else, post it here and I'll try to help out when I'm done with my rehearsal I'm on my way to.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rc51rider:
Yes its the lock screen without the lock ring and nothing will work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rc51rider:
Ok, I've tried the Lazy panda unbrick and it failed, managed to get it into bootloader and flashed another rom with no change (says UI failed or something like that)

I've put stock ruu on my SD and got it into bootloader using lazy panda rooter, then unplugging it and it wont recognize the image code.

I'm at a loss, I would just bring it back to sprint but now it says unlocked and tampered.

Any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Yeah run the rooter again and it should reset it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rc51rider:
I've run it 3 times.

Here's what happened. I was rooted with s-off using your methods and on mean ROM. I lost all data function and decided to run stock RUU, so I could bring it back to sprint. Everything worked flawlessly, in fact, It fixed my data problem.

A few days later I decided I wanted to root the phone again(using lazy panda) so I could get the OTA without getting the new Hboot and here I sit.

Edit: It did flash recovery, and I'm able to get into it but it is little help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crazyjoezx:
Everything went well until the end when I got this error when pushing the root files...

The phone turns on and is acting ok that I can see..

What should I do from here?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
It that the first time it reboots to it?

That means there must have been an error earlier. Definitely just run it again all the way and it should work fine
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Updated OP with new build. Hopefully that fixed the recovery flashing issue that was happening. Has to do with time sensitive code for rebooting from fastboot, and I think my i7-950 was fast enough to where I beat that error and flashed the recovery anyways lol
