Here's an update to everyone looking for a new release. In the next release, there will only be minor code fixes, but these minor fixes should eliminate some of the problems everyone is facing. I've already updated it for the HTCdev website weirdness (refreshing a bunch of times), and I'm currently looking into the NOT An Evo 4G LTE thing. Also, just a few minor code touch ups, and then I'll get a new version out. Oh, also I figured out a cool way to embed AndroidLib (my android .NET library I wrote) into this exe and load it at runtime, so there will no longer be a zip to download and extract, just 1 exe.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] makavelisk:
Freaking awesome!! Thanks for all your hard work. Just used your tool last night and it worked like a charm!! When you release your new version will we just have to run the stocl RUU and then do the process all over to get the updates??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ucallmebobby:
I'm having the same drivers issue.

Also, I don't see the ANDROIDUSB.sys where you said to look. I did click, download, and run both links in your post.

Help?

Upon checking Start menu -> Program Files ->HTC -> HTC Driver, the only thing in it is "Uninstall HTC Driver". There isn't anything else there. Does that mean the drivers aren't getting installed properly?

One more thing: This happened on two different computers. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Nah, unless you want to do the exact same thing again. This is just an update so it will work with less problems, does the exact same thing though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Pithism:
sorry for the dumb question but i never use windows, only for rooting stuff (i have a mac with a windows 7 64 bit bootcamp). What one should i use thr x64 or x 84 if i have a windows 7 64 bit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
It's cool, go ahead and use the x64 version. That's for you x64 machine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Pithism:
thanks for the response
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rnunz:
Thanks, I hope you can find the "NOT An Evo 4G LTE thing" cause.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Youthanasia:
worked great for me no issues at all....

the first time I tried to enter recovery the phone rebooted..went back in again and the recovery popped right up..The same thing happened on qbking77's video on youtube.. the recovery must need a reboot to install?? not sure but everything is all good!!

now on to the registering process :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
This one is gonna take forever to export and upload. It will go live in the morning I guess... 10 pm when it's done, and then 2 or 3 hours to upload... yeah, the morning.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2uggrc0.jpg
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Haha, I've been lookin out for it all day! Can't wait to see it tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
Ya know what... In that case, you'll see it in about 36 Minutes! If you have a twitter, follow me! @wwjoshdew. It will auto tweet the video as soon as it's done uploading! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] groovdafied:
I have a quick question about this rooting process. Will it replace my OS or will it patch my OS to be rooted? Like my Galaxy Tab 7+ I just had to laod a zip file and it didn't require me to replace the OS.

Plus, will I be able to update the OS too after the root?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rizzomach:
Hey every time I reboot in to recovery I get a message on the white HTC screen says this build is for developers only any idea what that is
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
It's DONE! :)

Amazingly simple. Will try it on June 21st if I don't get the GS3.

Thanks for your hard work.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Now that a some weird ****!! I have no such option. Nowhere in my pop up is disk drive available. This has me a bit weirded out now. How the hell did you get that?! Hell, I still can't get xp to see my device. Drivers work for everything else. If anyone on xp has an idea, I'd love to hear.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Zameus:
I've been debating to root since RegawMod was released. Tonight i finally took the plunge! Thanks regaw_leinad for your work on this, and for those that made the video tutorials. Watching the videos encouraged me to go for it. :D All is working, now to turn into a flashaholic once again! lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Oh man, it's great, thanks for making this! I gave it a huge Thumbs up on YouTube too :) Adding it to the second post :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
If I had all the time in the world, I would redo the video! Why? Because I'd have the rooter thing further to the left (where a bunch of screen realestate (I have no clue how to spell that) is being wasted), and have the video of my phone to the right of it... It would be much larger and easier to see the phone too... That's the biggest difference between me and other YouTubers... I spend HOURS and HOURS (KILLING my days off from work) trying to make my videos perfect. I don't slap it together and then get started on my next video, that took me 9 minutes to record, slap my name somewhere on the video, and upload that. I try very hard. I'm not completely satisfied with this video, as I realized I could of had the rooter thing to the far left and made the overlay of my phone a little bigger. But hey, in 1080p, it's pretty clear as it is.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Just did this, worked great!

Thank you for all the work on this!

My biggest issue was getting the HTC drivers to load on my laptop. Switched to my Desktop and piece of cake.

Thanks again.

Naters
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JohnnyMontana_:
Worked like a charm. Good deal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rnunz:
I solved my problem.I had an old set of drivers installed(2008).Updated to the newest ones and the program worked perfectly.

Thanks for a great program.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Los Altos:
Question about the voiding the warranty; since this method registers your device with HTC, what is voiding the warranty going to effect? If my battery fails in two months and I take the phone to a Sprint store, will they tell me its not covered because my phone is registered as unlocked and the warranty is void.

Also, will this registration effect TEP as well?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
No! Your warranty is void via HTC, NOT Sprint! I thought the same thing at first, trust me. But Sprint will load the factory software on it (attempt to) and if it's still messing up, they will replace it! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] power_tennis:
I can't get into recovery

I went through the process with no issues and I checked to see that su was working and it was. When I try to get into recovery(Power + Volume Down), I'm unable to. Any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Go into settings>power> and make sure fastboot is not clicked.

It did take me a few times to get the buttons held right. Press volume down, and power but take your finger off power, after 5 seconds or so, and keep holding volume down.

Naters
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] power_tennis:
Got into Recovery. Thanks!

50+ NOOB....fast boot on. Thanks!:D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Desertio:
Worked like a champ. Thanks alot man.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Cool, just rooted and unlocked using this, couldn't wait any longer for the new version. I had to update my HTC drivers because it was hanging with the older drivers, which I had installed when I used Zedomax's root method earlier this week. About halfway through my phone didn't reboot, it just stayed powered down, so I powered it on and the root program caught it again and kept on going, flashed the root files, etc. Finished just fine!

I did NOT lose anything off of my internal SD, meaning the "phone" folder that opens up when you connect the phone to a PC using Media Sync (I do not have a physical SD card in my phone at the moment). My pictures were still in DCIM, my downloads were still in Download, and my Fresh 5 zip is still on the root of the directory waiting to be flashed. :) I assume my TitaniumBackup folder is also there waiting for me, but I have to get a file explorer to see that since MTP won't allow me to see it over my USB connection.

So thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Pithism:
program doesnt seem to work for me. I have installed all necessary software but when i run the app it stops working.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
Awesome! Thanks for confirming that!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Pithism:
everything is ok now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Yeah I'm pretty sure it's because you RUUd your phone too, that'll wipe the internal sd storage
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
Fuuuuuuuu! Why didn't I THINK OF THAT!!!!! **facepalm**
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Pithism:
i didnt get the last step to go through. should i just run the entire process again?

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

also in fastboot, is it suppose to say unlocked and tampered at the top?

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

and now i cant get into my phone. it will turn on and wont do a thing. i get a blank screen with the wallpaper
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
I have proof that it will happen when you FIRST install custom recovery!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WkP-fJMdVY&hd=1&t=8m12s
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Pithism:
but my phone wont turn on. it gets struck, no lock screen. i got to the custom recovery. how can i fix stuff there.

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

and the last process of the rooter said it did not work and superuser files didnt transfer.

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

nm i got to custom rev, wiped and applied a rom and im all good
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ls430cw:
Thanks for the hard work, but i am unlocked and CWM is non responsive. I can get into recovery, but none of the options work. What am i missing? This is the 4th phone i've rooted, so not a rookie. Thanks for the help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
CWM is broken. You need to flash TWRP via Terminal Emulator

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

BTW your misc partition is broken now too. You need to fix that but I'm not sure how.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
I'm hoping you mean TWRP recovery, because the rooter doesn't install CWM. No idea why it's non-responsive though. Touch screen not working or something? Try rebooting back into it again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Awesome, this worked perfectly. Kind of weird hwo you get into recovery on this phone with having to push the volume down and power, release then do it again after the flashing lights but whatever. It worked for me.

I believe HTC Sync will install the correct drivers so if you think you're having driver issues install HTC Sync. Then make sure you exit out of HTC Sync before running the script or you might get some weird errors.

I followed along with QBKing77's video and it was quite nice because all the weird glitches he kind of walks through. Mine didn't hang during the recovery flashing though like in the video.

I decided to run a backup right away and I cannot believe how big these roms are...905MB just for /system. That's pretty huge.

Oh by the way I was already rooted and I did not unroot before doing this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ls430cw:
When I get into recovery at the bottom it says clock work mod. I had installed rom manager and flashed cwm. This must have messed it up. Any ideas to get rid of it. Already removed rom manager but still there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Why you even using rom manager? No rom on here supports that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Running this rooter again should flash TWRP recovery on your device.

CWM uses the same format to flash zips as TWRP, so technically the zips will flash the same. The only problem is our current build of CWM wipes your /misc partition when run, so no one should use it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rizzomach:
can someone tell me why it says that...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
That's what htc decided to put on your screen if you unlock the bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrshades812:
FYI - This really kicks ass! Worked great. Up and rooted without any issues. Just re-set up my phone, did a nand backup when I got it all set, and now I can try out some of these ROMS!

Thanks again!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
That notice is actually because the bootloader senses an unsigned partition on your device (the custom recovery).

No thank you! Without users, this tool would be useless!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djscissorhands:
If i have already rooted using zedomax can i run regaws method right over it so I can unlock the bootloader and have twrp?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mtg981:
Yes, that is what I did.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

In case I have to take my phone back to Sprint for work, how do I get the stock recovery on it. I now have TWRP. Do I just run the RUU after relocking?? I can't find any info on that exact question>
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] droiddawg:
Yes. After relocking and running the ruu, it should put everything back at stock state, including recovery, however your bootloader will have "Relocked" stamped at the top.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Updated to version 1.2. No longer comes in a zip file, just one single exe :)

Check the changelog in the OP for more details
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
You're a genius, man. The community is lucky you came this way. Thanks.

sent from a shining jewel 4g LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
So before the exe was inside the zip, now you've shaved off a step! :)

And I updated my mediafire mirrors, so people have an alternate way to download your tool if your links don't work for any reason. I HATE seeing links die and then scrounging around trying to upload a file that someone really needs! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
thanks! I was actually going to ask you to update those (I saw them in your vid's description) haha. You're definitely on top of things, and I like that. Thanks a bunch!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
I HATE dead links! Lol. I use goo.gl because YouTube does NOT like it when you post .exe links. Plus, I can go through all of the shortened url's on my account, and figure out which ones are dead. And when I find one, I can search through all of my videos for that dead goo.gl link, and then reupload the file and replace the link. It's an easy way to keep track of what links are dead and still alive, plus some links are insanely long and look ugly. lol

Seriously, I have a lot of respect for you. You, Viperboy, and Vinchenzop all have donations coming your way after I get that SGS3. I can promise you that. Ask MSKIP. Unfortunately, it gets expensive sending several people donations. So about 25 is all I can spare. Without you guys, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing on YouTube! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] davel23:
I'm a little confused, the instructions recommend you backup your device before rooting with Titanium Backup, but Titanium Backup says it needs root access to operate. Am I missing something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
I was wondering the same thing. Is there a way to install just root, take a backup of the phone and then install the bootloader?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Root first with Zedomax's method, then do your backup, then run this. That's what I did.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] saco274:
Stupid question. Is there anything in the update that we should be aware of? Sorry for the noob question but it just seems that it was made into an .exe instead of of zip correct?

Thanks a million for this root method. Its really really helpful for people just starting to learn android like myself. Also, it may be the final shove for those on the edge to finally root because it's so easy. to all you noobs, I'm still one. Trust me if I can do it...you can too! Go for it!! And the best part is your willingness to help and answer questions. That's they way it should be done. I will be donating as soon as I get a chance. Keep it up!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jmt000:
Thought I would share my experience. I have several micro usb cables laying around. One of them is cheap and doesn't reliably transfer data. Guess which one I decided to use?

Everything worked fine until it tried to flash twrp and install the root files. This is when I remembered that even though the plug was snug that cable was only good for charging. Used a different cable and all is good.

Moral of the story: Use a good cable!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] loujennings4:
im getting the htc dev login loop, any ideas on how to get this to work?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mocsab:
I had to return my original EVO LTE today and got a new one to replace it - I had been having some problems with blue tooth connections - well anyway - - I had rooted the first EVO I got by manually going thru the process of connecting with the HTC Developer web site and getting the token and stuff - when I got my new EVO today - I found your thread - downloaded the program you created and was amazed at how easy and complete your program is - it worked great - one click and wham bam thank you man - - rooted - recovery - unlocked - all at once. Just amazing. I wanted to say thanks - you wrote an amazing bit of code to do this - just incredible. Thank you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Can you take a few screenshots of what it's doing? Are you using the newest updated Rooter?

No thank you! That's really nice of you to say. I put a lot of work into it and I'm glad you can recognize that. Happy you're rooted and unlocked! Have fun!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lido:
hi, the computer screen (rooter program) has been sitting on "pushing root files" (after 2nd reboot) for a good 20 minutes. my evo is on, appears to be connected, and debug is checked. how long should i have to wait, or is something stuck, and if so, what should I do?

tia!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Yeah I think it's stuck, try rebooting your phone and re-running the program again from the beginning. That should help. Sometimes my rooter likes to get weird haha probably because I'm the one who brogrammed it ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lido:
thank you for your quick reply...that appears to have done it! lot less painful second time around ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
I keep getting stuck near the beginning. I launch the program from my laptop (Windows 7 64-bit and I downloaded & installed the x64 program) and then connect my phone. When I connect it then acts like it's going to reboot and I get the message saying that if I can read this dialog box the program is waiting for the phone to reboot. The phone powers down and then powers up to the mostly white screen that has options for Bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down and it just sits there. Nothing else happens. At the top it says 'Tampered' and then below that it says 'Locked' so I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. It was previously rooted using another method but the bootloader was never unlocked. I tried to select 'Bootloader' once but that didn't seem to prod the program into action to continue.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? Should I try to manually select 'Reboot bootloader' instead? My phone is just sitting at this screen and the program is also just sitting idle as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I also noticed that in the videos the people rooting their phones have not one but two files in folder where they click to launch the program (plus they have to unzip first) and I only have the one item in the folder to click. I assumed this was just because the newer version doesn't need to be unzipped or have two files but now that I'm having issues I wanted to clarify that point.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EarlyMon:
I just wanted to chime and say thanks for this awesome tool and share a few things (probably covered already, but many come in late and don't read all of the pages :D).

FWIW, some on AF have had trouble with the USB drivers - for whatever reason. Personally, I used my old drivers from my Evo 3D root on a WinXP machine and was fine. Another guy used the drivers in the OP (before the 6/13 update) and although able to talk to the phone with adb, was unable to proceed until he deleted the drivers and let Windows choose some. Oh well, that's on Windows, not you. :D

I rebooted when I selected recovery after the process, so I re-ran the process. Others told me that just going back into the bootloader and trying recovery a second time was the charm. Just tossing that out there.

No tool is perfect, and you've updated since I used this nearly two weeks ago, but I just wanted to give a plug that this is easily as good as they come.

Very nicely done! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
I don't think it's my drivers as I installed them when I rooted my phone the first time and that worked fine so I assume my drivers are fine. I also checked my installed programs and the Microsoft .net 4 framework dealio is there too so I think I'm all set on that stuff.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] droiddawg:
USB debugging on in developer options?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Sure is. I double checked but it's still on from when I rooted it last week.

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Since my phone is just sitting at this screen, can someone tell me which option the program would be trying to do so I can select that and see if it jump starts the process once again?

BOOTLOADER

REBOOT

REBOOT BOOTLOADER

POWER DOWN

I think I tried the first one the first time it did this and it didn't seem to do much. I got a (not responding) error on the program once I did this so I don't know what's going on here. I can try one of the above options and if it doesn't work I can attempt to install the drivers & .net framework from the links in the OP of this thread to see if that helps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EarlyMon:
Ensure you're not running IE is the only thing that occurs off the top of my head... :(
