help

Ok,iv read thru the thread and I do see alot of people having my same problem with the tool not rebooting the phone,,and all I read is to reboot manually,,,can someone please tell what steps to do so...while the phone plunged in,,do I just restart the phone,or while having the tool open and phone plugged in do I power down then get into the bootloader,,if so what do I press once inside bootloader...a step by step would be great,,,,thanks hackers!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fltinstructor:
It's there, I'm not a hacker but I'll tell you.

With the phone still connected, power it down. Hold the volume down botton and power button to get into the fast boot. press the power button to get to bootloader. The tool will take over from there if you had USB debugging set. Some even said that they changed USB ports and it started for them.

There is a guide for all things EVO 4G LTE at the beginning of the Developers thread. It has YouTube video's on how to get to bootloader if your having trouble. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1645890

i keep getting "navigation to the webpage was canceled"

EDIT: Working now. Rooted
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EBO_Legend:
Hey all, just successfully completed this process. I was having many of the issues that have been posted recently. Here is what I did to help it along. YES is did have the 1.19 HBOOT problem where it would not do any of the rebooting, so every time it said waiting for reboot to whatever, i did it manually, four times total i think. ALSO it was having trouble with HTCdev for the unlock bin. So i was going to try to do it myself through the htcdev website, and it was not working well at all. UNTILL i used firefox instead of ie. so i did the unlock myself and then ran the root program again. it still went through the htcdev process but it got "through" it real fast. After that the rest went smoothly not considering the manual boots.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Worked like a charm. Just picked up my EVO LTE today. Great job. Thanks button hit :cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MRFERRARI23:
Please Help me if you would'nt mind?

Im getting the same problem and for the life of me i dont know what else to do to get this to work?!?!?!? I'm going crazy because everything goes good until the very end and it fails to push the root files. I've got the htc drivers installed net.40 etc... PLEASE someone help me if you can cause I'm trying to read but can't figure it out!!! I'm on stock software from the

first day if that helps.

I live in Staten Island and I was excited to do this because I finally got power after 4 days without any and want to take my mind off of all the devastation we've had here for a little until I have to go back to it :crying:

Thanks guys I really appreciate it!!

EDIT: Got it to work baby!!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cfbauer:
Me too! What did you do to make it work!!??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yotie:
So after messing with this and the tool not booting my phone ,and reading , to manual reboot I got it to work...

#1 while running the tool once it says booting phone and it dosent,power down ,boot into boot loader ,select fast boot

#2 after boot up,skip set up ,turn USB debugg back on,once the tool says rebooting but dose not boot into boot loader,power down again,boot up boot loader,select fast boot, let phone reboot..let the tool work,,,

#3 on the tool again it should say boot into recovery,,if it dose not boot,manually power down,,power up bootloader,and now select recovery,,it should take u to twarp..select -install- find regaw file,,flash it,,reboot system,,,done.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] frankjr927:
This might be a dumb question but does your rooter work on hboot1.19? I have the newest firmware as well which you said is compatible. So I'm assuming the newest hboot(1.19) is compatible
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yotie:
Yes it works..thats what I had 1.19..you just have to reboot the phone manually while running the tool

Manual reboot by holding the power button down until it reboots ?

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------

Manual reboot by holding power button down?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lou2004:
I just got it working on my second try. first time couldn't finished the whole process because I wasn't familiar with the manual reboot process. to boot to bootloader while the phone is still on, hold down the down-volume then press and hold the power button. when the phone goes blank, release the power button for 1 second, then hold the power button again. it will boot to bootloader and then let go of all buttons.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yotie:
power down the phone,,,then hold power and vol down button at the same time,,you will see your "hardware" keys blink..the "home" "back" and "recent app" buttons,,,,,,,,after they blink let go of the power and vol down for a split second,,then hold them down together again,,and that will pop up boot loader,,,,select whhat you need to select while in boot loader..then using vol down and vol up and power to confirm your choice ......:cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] frankjr927:
when i get to the part of the rooting process where it boots into recovery and says look for the regaw file, i have no idea where it is on my phone or if i even have it. does it automatically put it on phone or what? Pleasee helpppppp if i flash this zip i think i will be rooted
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fltinstructor:
Do that and you should be rooted after
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] frankjr927:
i dont see a regaw file when i scroll down thats my issue
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fltinstructor:
When in recovery with TWRP,, near the top of the screen it gives you the option to select which storage to use. The external SD or the internal storage. If you have an SD card in your phone, make sure the external card is checked. Then when you scroll down you should see it. If it is on the external, change it to the internal and try it. There use to be a file download for the regaw mod file to put on the card and install somewhere.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] frankjr927:
I actually tried the other root method via htcevohacks and it seems to have worked I now have root access and super user but still have s-on ... Lazy panda is only for hboot1.12 it seems.....

I really appreciate the help from everyone

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

I believe team unlimited is making something for hboot1.19
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fltinstructor:
Yes, Lazy Panda is only for Hboot 1.12. Those developers are soon to release a tool for Hboots 1.15 and 1.19 sometime in the near future.

Your welcome

Will this work while using another devices usb tether for the internet? It's my only means of internet connection, but I don't want to run the program and have it start juicing up the wrong device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowery23:
Thanks for these instructions. I'm on 1.19 and had to do the manual reboots as instructed above. It worked just as you said and I'm now rooted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chitownevo:
I getting an error saying "error retrieving Unlock_code.bin from email." Anyone else have this issue ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gokart2:
Yes, quoting myself. This did not work. But then I realized/remembered how easy it was to manually do it, and did it that way. Learn something and do it manually, I swear it'll make you feel better inside.:good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Interesting question, is it another android phone? I would assume they would cause a conflict even though regawmod checks the device, and if it connects to adb I'm thinking they will both reset when the program uses the reboot command
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gokart2:
Yeah, it was another android. I figured there would be an issue. I was playing with fire by unplugging this then that, up until the htcdev part. Then it just failed. I figured since the tool noticed the other phone not being an LTE that it just might be able to do it. He could modify it to work, but it would require so time and prompts of "Unplug LTE, plug in other android" etc.... Doing it manually was easy enough being the second time I've done it. If you already have adb, drivers, the needed files, and an idea of whats going on, it only takes like 10-15min.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EBO_Legend:
Did you try downloading Mozilla FireFox and setting as your default browser. The HTCDev website works so much better with it. I rooted someone else's EVO LTE after FireFox was already installed and the Bin process went by fast and smooth.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flewpastu:
i tried looking but does this method give s off or am i asking a stupid qustion
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
Nope, just root

LtEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flewpastu:
k thanks i guess a 32bit live CD might have to be in the works

what are the benefits of s off sorry noob question i know and i know some benefits but not entirely aware

and is it possible to attain s off after this method
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vampir4997:
Depends on you bootloader how you get s-off. After you s-off you can change your splash screen,use regnaws bootloader customizer,flash roms that include kernals way easier,update your firmware,radios. Im sure there is more
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flewpastu:
cool thanks ... ive had the original EVO rooted from day one over 2 years probably a hundred different roms some good and some not so but my daughter has it now and loves it my current is the LTE with latest firmware / updates 1.19 etc but i dont have have PCs running 32 bit so ill research the 32bit live cd and give it a go

2.13.651.1 710RD vs 2.13.651.3

Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question. I've searched around on XDA and elsewhere, and I can't find a satisfactory answer, only other people having issues without positive resolution. Just want to see if you guys will give me the thumbs up before I proceed; seems safer than just doing it and risk bricking!

I first looked into rooting my EvoLTE a few months ago, but at the time my software version was 2.13.651.3, and there didn't seem to be a rooting method that I felt comfortable trying. So I stopped paying attention to the development threads for a bit, gritted my teeth and lived with Sense and it's horrible multitasking.

In the intervening time, I took an OTA update or two, and I'm sitting on software version 2.13.651.1 710RD. The backstep in the first part confuses me: does this mean I can now attempt Regaw's root method safely? Or is that 651.1 misleading, is the 710RD update actually a step past of 651.3, meaning I can't/shouldn't attempt Regaw's root method?

TL;DR: I'm running 2.13.651.1 710RD. Can I safely use Regaw's root method?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fltinstructor:
Yes, you can use it. Read the thread completely and take some notes. There are some posts in it on how to manually boot into the bootloader. You may or maynot have to do with that update on your phone. Good luck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bikewobble:
Also, like an idiot, I wasn't seeing the whole version number. Am I correct that the previous version was 1.something.651.3? not 2.13.651.3? Either way, it's a lot less confusing now, and maybe I will just read the last 146 pages again and hide in shame!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fltinstructor:
2.13.651.1 is the latest firmware on the phone with the HBoot that might not work "perfectly" with the tool. The last software, 1.22.651.3, would run under the tool automatically without needing to reboot into bootloader. You can check your software on your phone by looking under settings, About, Software Information.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bikewobble:
From what I gather, is the only difference from the standard procedure to manually boot into the bootloader, plug the Evo in and then run Regaw's tool? Or should I manually boot into bootloader and then choose an option first (e.g., FASTBOOT?)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fltinstructor:
No, it would be to leave the phone plugged in and boot it to bootloader not fastboot. Like I mentioned some of those guys having that issue posted really good information in the last few pages of that thread on how to do it. It's a painless operation, don't be intimidated by it. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flewpastu:
I dont know what i did wrong but heres what happened read and re read multiple times after several errors and manual reboots fast boot bootloader and recovery it seemed to unlock boot loader and install twrp but could not find the regaw file anywhere internal or external so i had no root access so i d/l the su zip file and flashed it in twrp rebooted and i now have root not sure what i did wrong but my main goal was getting root and avoid a brick so i guess mission accomplished

i must say thank you to all that have worked on this and have helped you guys rock
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DeathTorrent:
Eh?

This thing won't work!! >_< When I run the program, it says, "Phone not connected." The drivers are installed and everything, and once, when I got it to run, it said that my phone isn't a 4G LTE. Um, yeah it is. Does anyone have the manual exploit so I can do it myself, or alternatively, have a linux version?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stevemoffler:
okay, so i cant seem to find the regaw-rooter.zip anywhere in my internal or external sd, anyone have the zip file so i can manually put it on my sd card and flash it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fltinstructor:
Here ya go! ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
When you start RegawMOD, do you have the phone in the bootloader, or is it at the desktop? In order for this to work, the phone has to be at the desktop (basically up and running)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
I'm working now on an update to my android communication library, which this relies on to work. Updating that should allow this to communicate better.

Stupid me for doing the OTA
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Steven 1:
Is your current "communication library" not working? I'm tryin to root a friends phone and it just stays on the adb server page (picture of EVO just blinking) using x86.

Is there any way to root a Evo4GLTE that already been S-OFFed?

Someone correct me if im wrong but if your s-off could you just flash trwp theough the bootloader and flash an already rooted rom?

hi i have a stock phone

trying this from past 2 days

but no matter what i do , the process never proceeds further , as the phone never reboots in bootloader menu at all.

see as soon as you ll hit ROOT ME , the phone reboots into bootloader , but my phone never reboots , it settles just like that

any clue

having all the drivers installed , debugging on , .net framework installed.

Try what that guy wrote above. It works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] acesofbelkan:
Seems to work until I get to the part where it receives the unlock_code.bin.

It says: Error receiving unlock_code.bin from email; this is most likely a problem with htcdev.com; your phone has not been altered.

Not sure what to do next...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
I have been noticing problems with HTCDev's website. This is not an email server issue on my end. All of the back-end work that I wrote code for (such as accounts and passwords) are still intact. Seems like HTCDev just doesn't send the Unlock_code.bin out as fast anymore. I'm working on a solution to fix this.

Just got a new phone and under About/Software information :1.22.651.3 71ORD. (HBOOT 1.15) I assume that this is the most recent software version - 651.3 - for which there is not a root yet available. If there is a way to get s-off at this time PLEASE let me know
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fltinstructor:
First, that is not the latest software or H-Boot. This method to rot the phone works well with that software version. Second, there is a way to S-OFF that H-Boot now. Just look at the top of this forum at the Dirty Racun thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cquinn:
my problem with dirty racun is i have a 64 bit win7 system so I'll wait to see if there is a fix coming for the most recent HTC site .bin problems and then if not I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and run a livecd ubuntu. thanks for the heads up
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
Can't it be run in 32bit mode?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cquinn:
xp mode and racun won't work with xp. now i don't actually know if 'xp mode' is windows xp or if it's windows 7 in 32 bit because i don't have the version of 7 that allows xp mode. but i know with time it'll get solved one way or the other

I actually just used DirtyRacun to s-off my 1.15 hboot yesterday on my HP Envy laptop with Win7 64bit. Can't say this will work for everyone, as 64 bit isn't supported by the developers of DirtyRacun, but it went flawlessly for me!! I didn't have to do anything manually at all!! Another option is for you to burn a LiveCD of Ubuntu. I had also made a LiveCD and booted in to it to confirm it was working fine, but just decided to run DirtyRacun from my main system and roll the dice. Glad I did!!

I think u have to manually boot to bootloader yourself

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

If your bootloader is unlocked you can flash the twrp recovery img thru fastboot. Details on how to do this are all over the forum. Once you have recovery u can flash the rooted rom of your choice
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kcptemple:
I can't get this to work either. Did I just pick the wrong time to try this? Drivers installed, net 4.0 good, fastboot off. I click "Root ME" and it says rebooting to recovery, but phone doesn't reboot. Shows "Done" in the console but nothing happens. When I try to close the program, I actually have to open Task Manager and kill "Fastboot" process otherwise I get an error message when I try to run it again.

I went to HTCdev.com but could not find Evo LTE as a compatible device to unlock bootloader. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or reasons what may be happening.

THanks!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
Manually reboot yourself or if your doing the development unlock yourself pick all other devices
