Everyone knows worse comes to worse they can sign up for htcdev right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
This can also mean your computer is too slow, or there is some sort of firewall blocking the email searching. HTCdev is fine and so is my email account.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Zeropoint:
I did the HTCdev unlock myself. Is there a way to finish regawmod without unlock step? just run it again? I don't have a slow computer but I do have a slow/capped internet connection 150kbps.... :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Thanks!

This may be a dumb question as I'm still not sure what is involved but: Any chance you'll create a version of this that will do s- off too? I did you're original version on my Evo LTE and it worked flawlessly but since this was before a method was created I'm still s- on an would like to get the full monty. Just don't feel like learning/downloading/installing/running a new process if I don't have to.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Suprcynic:
So this is ready to use for .3 or no? I just want to be able to install titanium.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
This should be ready for 1.22.651.3, no one has confirmed it working yet though. I can't integrate S-OFF into this, because I do not want to grab the S-OFF file from unlimited.io's site and use it within my program. We should all keep our programs separate, since we all worked hard on each of them, and it also allows the user to get the most updated of each without eachother having to recompile with the newest versions of both.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
As of right now, no there is no way to skip that. I may add that in the future, but I can see problems with people clicking skip then complaining it's not working (even though it's their fault they skipped the bootloader unlocking). Either that or I can make you your own custom build that doesn't involve the unlock process and pm you the link. I'll see what I can come up with.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MVJ1225:
Trying to DL but norton keeps blocking...is there a mirror you can post as well thats how I got the last one...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] foobz:
Running the latest version (I think, I clicked the x64 link in the OP) the phone reboots to bootloader, and just sits. RegawMOD just leaves the window up saying its waiting for phone to connect after reboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Zeropoint:
if there is a method of detecting an "s-off" state, just detect and move too the next part?

anyways on another note I just did it manually so no worries. thank you for the help, and btw it work great on my last evo.

-zp
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Well, this doesn't set the bootloader to s-off, but that is how I will be detecting it in the future for an update if I decide to implement that. It will check for an HTC unlocked bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Try running it again, my guess is the drivers to communicate to the phone while in Fastboot weren't loaded after it rebooted. If all else fails uninstall everything HTC on your comp then reinstall the drivers and it should work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] voodamn:
Same here..it won't allow me to d/l
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Docarut:
I use Bit Defender Internet Security and was blocking also. I disabled and still had problem. Then I looked in program and saw where blocked and configured to allow to run and was successful next time I downloaded.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stankcheeze:
Just tested on .3, x86 XP, works perfectly. Had to manually power up the phone with the power button a couple of times when it was waiting for reboot, but other than that it hands off. Zip file pushed to SD card successfully as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MVJ1225:
I can also confirm the file pushed through to both SdCard and Ext_SD...was tested on 1.22.651.3. with the x64....had no problems with rebooting program worked the whole way through..

Damn!!! Why didn't I state which specific KB update was the one I found and deleted? Now I don't remember and cannot get your Regaw.exe rooting program to work. At all.

I'm back to the same problem I experienced a month ago as originally posted here:

Got my root on after two attempts (the first failed after my antivirus software, Avast, blocked something. d'oh!). I never got the zip file pushed through though, had to download it myself and flash through recovery. Hm. Still, thanks, I'm quite happy!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] engelsione:
Ok I just rooted using this last update...but on recovery the Regawmod.exe the file was no where to be found...and I just completed the rooting withoung flashing that file. How can I go back and flash this on root? Sorry is this has been asked..but im down to my 5th Stella Artois and wanted and quick help if possible.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Halumian:
Download this: http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip

Quit the rooting process if you haven't already, and reboot your phone. Copy that zip to your sdcard and reboot into recovery (power button and volume down). Choose recovery. Once in the new recovery menu choose install and find the new zip. Flash it. Reboot and you are rooted.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoClemency:
I rooted my phone using this method last week. Everything worked great until a couple days ago, when I was no longer able to make phone calls, receive them, send text messages, or receive them. My 3g still works fine. I then un-rooted my phone and put everything back to stock in plans to take it back to Sprint. Not long after the phone started working, and I was able to make phone calls again. So I used this method again and rooted my phone again. Immediately after rooting the phone I was no longer able to make phone calls again. Please let me know if anyone has heard of this or has any ideas or suggestions. Thanks.

I am running the default brom, and software version 1.22.651.3 710RD. I have also updated my PRL and Profile with no such luck. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
I've heard others say that Sprint was able to resolve the issue by doing some sort of reset on the line. I wish I could give you more information but I can't find the thread I was reading that in. If you have access to another phone, you might try calling Sprint customer service and tell them you started experiencing the problem after installing the ota and see if there's anything they can do for you.

I've tried the OP method repeatedly since release, followed each of the youtube tutorials listed, and even tried a few of the fixes within this thread. I have had zero luck. I waited until the method was updated to include compatibility for 1.22.651.3 and I either get:

-Stuck at 'Starting adb server'

-Stuck at bootloader after I hit 'root me' and it goes into recovery

-Stuck with the red exclamation point after waiting for script to gain root, causing a mild panic and forcing a reboot. This is the furthest that I've gotten to this point.

I rooted my OG EVO quite quickly after its release and flashed ROMs dozens of times before trading in for the LTE---for the life of me I cannot figure out why this is so complex nor why there are so many different issues affecting the ability to gain root on the LTE. I'm going to try it once more when I get home, perhaps getting htcdev is a problem while I'm in the office.

I'm setting a record for my longest unrooted device :/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoClemency:
Thanks, for y'alls help. I went ahead and took my phone to sprint since they said there was nothing wrong with the towers over the phone. Soon as I got there, they told me it was a known problem and that many people in my area are experiencing the same problem. So now I just have to sit and wait for everything to start working again.

I admit I have not read every single post in this thread, but of the several pages I have read I have not seen my particular issue. When I run the rooter on my computer, it tells me that the drivers need to be updated via htc sync. I have updated all the drivers and it still gives me that notice and the rooter will not run. I have tried this on two xp computers with the same results. These are 32 bit systems and I downloaded the x86 software. Any suggestion as to what I am doing wrong or what additional info you need from me to correct this? Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Look in your program files folder under HTC and HTC Drivers. Copy the ANDROIDUSB.sys file to C:\Windows\system32\drivers\ and the program should work. Sometimes that folder isn't updated w/ the driver file.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 993:
Still unable to reach HTC Dev.

Phone just sits in bootloader while the Root Tool stays at 'Rebooting to bootloader....DONE'. The status on the tool says 'Connected -Rooting' and has for the last hour and just like before has now gone to 'not responding'.

I have tried on multiple networks, updated/uninstalled/reinstalled HTC Drivers, .Net 4.0, multiple tool downloads on different computers. It is almost comical at this point, I think that's enough for the day. Is anyone else completely stuck?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oOflyeyesOo:
That seemed to be the issue, but after it unlocked the boot loader, it never rebooted to continue the process. Im going to unplug and try again.

Okay now that I tried to turn it on again, it gets on the htc boot screen, and has a little progress bar in the top right corner, acting like it is loading something, but then just shuts off instantly after that... Not sure where to go now.

EDIT: Odd, it turned back on when I plugged the cable back in, and loaded the sprint 4g screen, but not it has gone back to black screen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
my google wallet is being very slow at resetting it, i think they are having some issues, and my phone is not rooted yet...only 1 more percent to go and it will be haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Thanks for pointing that out, I updated the TWRP to 2.1.8 in the first build after the video was taken, right before I released it last night.

I'd recommend running the entire rooter again. Make sure it's the new 1.1 version too.

Yeah Wallet is having server issues right now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oOflyeyesOo:
It just seemed to have problems rebooting after it unlocked the boot loader, I ended up having to unplug it, and after a few times it started up, then I plugged it back in and turned usb debugging on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
That sounds like a phone issue to me.. When someone gets to the Unlock Bootloader screen, no matter if you choose yes or no, the phone will reboot itself. My program doesn't reboot anything there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
When I tried I don't even make it pass the first reboot. It hangs at rooting. I'm already rooted so I'm not sure that's the problem.

Ok good to know, does the Root Me button appear before it freezes?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sho0z:
no it does not, the blinking underscore freezes after 2 blinks, every time. i've rebooted, re-installed, and completely wiped my phone back to factory settings...none of which have resulted in anything different. i've also tried one of your previous suggestions to another post in trying another usb port, which ive also tried various cords.....:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
arg i rebooted my phone to see if i can clear google wallet and it is just stuck on initializing, all i want to do is clear the dam settings haha.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Does it start the adb server first? and try keeping the phone unplugged until the program starts up, then plug it in and see if that helps. Just throwing out ideas while I come up with a better fix.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sho0z:
ok, so adb starts, then freezes when the "starting adb" goes away. i tried to do it per your suggestion and it gets to root me, but then freezes again, i tried this a few times and one of the times it popped up with an error, something about unhandled exception.

update: now its telling me that what i have plugged in isnt an evo 4g lte lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Well dang. I really need a crappy computer to test this stuff on too. I don't mean yours is crappy at all, but probably slower than mine, and a lot of the code is on timers for the phone checking. I'm on my desktop I built with my i7-950 and 16gb ram w/ a 120gb OCZ boot-only ssd.. so I outrun a lot of the problems that would probably happen if I had a slower computer. I'll try setting up a vm and try and replicate your problem

Yeah I wasn't trying to put your lappy down by saying that, but I know slower pcs would probably get an error in things that faster ones would beat out unfortunately.

Running the x64 on a Win7 machine, when I plug the phone in, the program gives an error at the bottom of "HCstringofnumbers&letters - NOT A EVO 4G LTE!" Yes, I'm quite sure it is. Running 1.22.651.3 710RD. I deleted anything HTC under Windows programs, it still gives that error. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Waynehead69:
Whenever I run the program on an x64 Windows 7 laptop, it reboots into the bootloader and is then unrecognizable. What I mean is the light on the phone doesn't indicate that it's connected and your program says that its waiting for it to connect. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
I would recommend trying to reinstall all HTC drivers again.

Redo the installation of all HTC drivers. This is a common error when they are not correctly installed.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blu_ninja:
How did you resolve this issue, I am still searching to forums but can't seem to find the solution
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chitownEMT:
Never mind, I got it to download on a friend's PC. Now my question is, if I use this to root the phone, can I stop after it's rooted but before I unlock the bootloader to use Titanium backup for my app data? And then can I just re-run the RegawMOD rooter to unlock the bootloader?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
The unlock happens first...there is no way to interrupt the process or skip steps.

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chitownEMT:
So how do you run Titanium Backup? It requires root, but rooting the phone unlocks the bootloader which wipes the phone. Am I missing something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eddy0090:
Yeh i spent a long time looking into this and its a catch 22. There is a way using a temp root exploit but that is only if you still have the older hboot. If you took the latest ota update then like me your screwed. What version software are you on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Hmmm weird issue about the internet connectivity. I use a Windows API call to check for the connection, so if you are in fact connected, it should be picking it up. I'll look into that code again and see if there are any problems, but the external method really does all the work.

Also, I'll try and get home and put up a mirror today as well for those of you who can't get devhost working.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chitownEMT:
I was able to access the link using a friend's computer. No clue why I couldn't get it to work; oh well!

My software version is 1.22.651.3 710RD. Does this mean I have to unlock the bootloader? I'd really rather just gain root access so I can wifi tether and clear some of the preloaded Sprint bloatware without clearing all my data, but if there's no other way than I'll just bite the bullet and do it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
Unfortunately, there is no local root access for that software version, it was patched with the latest OTA. So you will have to unlock the bootloader either way, sorry man.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chitownEMT:
Ahh it's alright, I was just hoping I wouldn't have to redo everything. Lord knows I set everything up about a dozen times on my OG Evo messing around with different ROMS so it's not the end of the world. Thanks for the help guys, I'll let you know how the rooting goes!

Drivers installed, ran the program, I click "root me", it boots into the bootloader, and then stops. There's a dialog box that says its waiting and the phone is not connected. I have norton and I've disabled everything in it and it still stops at the exact same spot. What am I missing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Smac7:
I would do a search, but search is down at the moment so i guess i'll have to ask. I know running this will technically void your warranty, but since it sends a token to HTC dev, does that mean HTC will record that you rooted and unlocked? And if so, what are the real ramifications of having htc know you unlocked?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
Yes they will know and it "may" void your manufacturers warranty (they haven't been very clear about it). If you have insurance on the phone from bb or Sprint, there's really no reason to care about voiding HTC warranty since you'll likely never use it. Just my 2 cents...

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zenEd:
might just be me, but dont think there is a need to worry so much about the warranty.

"i know a guy" that had to return an EVO 4g LTE phone that was faulty after he messed up the rooting. he spent an hour with Sprint over the phone while they tried to "fix" his phone.

Sprint never asked and never checked but the phone was clearly displaying "Tampered" and "Unlocked".

Sprint gave him an exchange number and he had a new phone in just 2 days.
