[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Unfortunately that is incorrect. All root methods will produce the **tampered** flag because adding files to the system partition changes the partitions checksum, thus flagging it as tampered on boot. If you just unlocked the bootloader solely, and did not root, you would only see u locked, not tampered, until you modified the system partition with the rooted files.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
This will work fine running it after already having root. If you run into phone related problems, probably resetting it would be best though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OGPI:
You make a good point as far as the warranty goes. I'll be a bit more inclined to use this method once I see a nearly stable cm9.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Also regarding the HTC warranty, it never says that it WON'T be covered, it just says it may not be covered.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Some reading I did on One X forums shows that HTC seems pretty inclined to interpret 'may' as 'will', unfortunately. However, still, that was the experience of international users of unlocked/unbranded phones who do rely on HTC for warranty. With US carrier subscription, this is generally not the case, but rather we use our carrier or insurance.

To answer my question, I ended up removing the HTC drivers and redownloading the drivers and NET Framework, repaired that like another posted mentioned and the process went through.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Andromorphone:
I discovered ur absolutely right about the tampered tag resulting solely from root alone, but, and correct me if I'm wrong (again), but the *root-only* tampered tag is completely reversible, whereas the best u can get after a bootloader unlock is a "relocked" tag...right??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woodsk:
This worked great, no issues at all!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] saco274:
Can anyone help..?

I followed the instructions, I unlocked and even got recovery. However, I don't see that I have su or root access. I did it 3 times and it seems to stop doing its thing after the 2nd reboot. Instructions say that it should reboot about 3 times but it stops doing anything before that.

Im trying to root my wifes phone and this really sucks because I told her it would quick and painless and now she's looking at me like duh! Where did I go wrong? any help would be appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Andromorphone:
I ran ur tool on an already rooted, still locked 'jewel', and was very pleased to find that the rooting process comes last...after the full factory reset which removes all mods and data once the bootloader is unlocked.

In short, this works flawlessly despite any prior mods made, requiring neither manual factory reset, nor running the RUU.

Thought this would save some people the searching, wondering, and general fear of bricking their new precious.

...and boy was it ever worth scrapping the HTC warranty to be able to flash these awesome ROMs that are already floating around - got my proper menu button & mappable capacitives (6 total, including long press), reclaimed the extra screen real estate from that awkward 3-dot black menu bar, not to mention an almost endless list of other awesome mods and markedly increased usability. Was really starting to miss my og evo because of the missing capacitive button fxn alone!

Sorry to be so long winded. Thanks again to our fearless leader (the dev/OP).

@andromorphone,

You are correct.

@andromorphone

One of the best user names ever. I'm a fan of hydromorphone, but andromorphone is my new hydromorphone :D

@saco274

I suppose if you've already got recovery, you could flash SU binaries manually.

i posted this on the related thread as well but did not get any respond from anyone yet so posting it here to see if any body can help me here.... i got my evo yesterday and read about the GW issue on the op.... my GW gives me "has not been certified in your country / carrier" error.... so i can not clear any data from GW itself because it wont start up and there is no menu option..... im sorry if this has been answered ... i did go through the entire thread but very roughly.... any suggestions......
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
If you just got it yesterday, you have no GW data on the phone. The "clear" is only needed if you set it up and you couldn't have. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metallized:
thank you sir... thats what i was thinking but did not wanna do anything and get into bigger trouble u know.... so i can just go ahead and run the toold here rite... time for some rooting and custom roms baby....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Yup, just follow the directions and you'll be ready to roll in less than 10min. :thumbup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] torremitsu:
Not sure what to do here. RegawMod app is stuck on "phone not connected." I turned usb debugging and nothing happens. Can I restart the RegawMod app without bricking my phone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EarlyMon:
Yep.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Andromorphone:
I. have. no. idea. what. u. mean... My user name is just a reference to wanting...uhhh....more android phones.

U buyin' that?

Ha. ;-)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Absolutely :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lanewhit:
This worked for me the first time. Just followed the directions and was flashing a ROM in twenty minutes.

i can't access my internal memory files in recovery,not showing up but can mount ex sd,,,,,,

i have roms in internal space,,,any help, be nice

thanx

Edit: every time I tried to quote your post, it said invalid thread ID. Weird.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] odawg1022:
I got my LTE yesterday I tried this. It worked the first time, but for some reason when i tried to back up my stock rom i get a cannot create folder message. Any Ideas how to correct this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
That is strange. Maybe try reflashing your recovery, or reinstall it using goomanager. I really dunno what to say. Sorry.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nokios:
I'm running this after already rooting the phone so that I could use TB... then used adb to pull the titanium files off the phone.

After the initial reboot, where it pops up and says please wait while htcdev is doing its thing... first time, it timed out and never reached htcdev.com. second/third time, it says "see you soon" and is logged out... doesn't do any of what the video shows.

Any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EarlyMon:
Make sure you don't have Internet Explorer open, and remember, this tool works from a pool of 50 to 100 entries to log in to htcdev, so you may be getting the equivalent of a busy signal.

Also make sure that usb debugging is turned on. nvr mind, sorry

Try again after a little bit, report back.

I fixed my Not an EVO LTE problem. I was previously rooted and wanted to unlock the bootloader with your utility but I kept getting the "Not an EVO LTE" issue. I tried factory reset, I tried the latest HTC driver 3.0.0.021, made sure Fastboot was UNchecked, but nothing worked. I wondered if was because it was already rooted with the "Tampered" label, so I flashed the RUU: RUU_JEWEL_CL_ICS_40_Sprint_WWE_1.13.651.1_Radio_1.02.12.0427_NV_SPCS_2.28_003_release_259183_signed and now the utility works. Also don't know if this matters but when I went to flash the RUU, it said that I had image 1.13.651.1_R2. Hope this help narrowing down the Not an EVO LTE issue for others.

Going through the process now. Thanks for the Rooter.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Thank you so much for this! Best and easiest unlocking method ever! Great work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
thats for sure!! so simple :highfive: thanks so much Regawmod!!! your the man.. much respect do!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EindhovenOne:
Everything ran fine and it said I can disconnect the phone, however when I boot into the bootloader and select recovery, I doesn't go to recovery, it just restarts into the normal operating mode. Any ideas?

-E
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Ttry going back into recovery again, usually it does a normal reboot the first time after flash a new one. Also, check out my RegawMOD Rebooter, it makes it easy to get to the reboot different modes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twynn:
Tried 4 times and each time stopped cold at first bootloader screen. Any help?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Maybe try flashing recovery through flashGUI(I believe its called) or goo manager and see if that works
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twynn:
I would need bootloader unlocked first. I could do it through HTC but they want to install an hboot version and l'm hoping for s-off someday

htc driver missing

installed the htc drivers to my computer and installed and ran regawmod evo glte rooter x64 but im getting error messages "necessary htc drivers are missing,please get drivers by installing htc sync,or directly with the driver".

why do i keep getting this error. i uninstalled the htc drivers and installed it again and im still getting this error.

*nvm I got it*
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
So far it seems we're able to do pretty much everything with S-on that we used to need S-off for.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
Whats happnin regaw, I remember you from back in the Heroc forum, Good to see your still around man. Anyway I remember useing your root tool (regaw rooter) on many occations and it was the coolest thing ever. So this tool will give root but NOT s-off correct? and if so how do we go about acheiving s-off, or has it even been achieved yet. Im New to this device, and was just wondering. Thanks in advance and once againGood to see you,,,Later,,,:cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
No s-off yet but you can do everything s-off could do
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jshawjr:
Regaw, I accidentally installed Clockworkmodrecovery! How do I reinstall TWRP Recovery? Do I need to re-root?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
Thank you sir for your reply, one more question I should have asked. Im coming from the 4g supersonic,and it pretty well known that it doesnt play well with CWM or TWRP. Apearently this device does thank god, Which is the more reliable recovery , or is it just a matter of preference, Thanks again,,,Later,,,:cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
You can use goo manager or flashGui. I've never used goo manager but other people have and I used flashGui on my EVO shift. There is another way but I can't remember all the steps off the top of my head.

Twrp I believe is more reliable. Pretty sure people were having trouble with cwm
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
Thank you again bud, I do appreciate the advice. And thanks again regaw for this tool,Cya,,,Later,,,:cool:

phone not connected

My phone is connected to my laptop but as soon as I get to the bootloader my phone gets disconnected. I went to control panel/my device/action/ scan for hardware changes and it still won't detect my phone. I unplugged the usb wire and plugged it again on my laptop and still not detecting my phone. So how do I fix this problem?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
did you install drivers and .NET framework???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] damailmann1:
Yes sir. That's the first thing I did.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
I would delete everything HTC in programs and start over
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] damailmann1:
I already did that. By the way I'm on Windows7
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Cool man! This will unlock your bootloader using HTCdev.com and then run a root exploit (tricking the kernel to think the rom is running in an emulator, thus allowing the shell to run as root), thus allowing the pushing of SuperSU.apk, su, and the installation of busybox on your device. No S-OFF yet, but it's still being worked on, slowly, but it still is.

Actually, we definitely still can't do a lot of things without s-off :eek: , but nothing that really matters for rom flashers.

Pm me and we'll get it figured out. You most likely wiped your misc partition if you ran CWM, and we'll need to flash one over that partition, then flash the new recovery image.

AS far as I remember, there were only a few phones that ever got affected by that weird bug in TWRP, and I never heard of any major issues w/ CWM on the Evo. You can definitely correct me if I'm wrong though, because I didn't stay up to date with most of the recoveries on the OG, I just used my own mod of CWM.

This is definitely a driver issue. What I suggest to you is this. Keep your phone unplugged the whole time while doing this too. Go into your control panel > Programs & Features. Uninstall EVERYTHING related to HTC. Then install the drivers from the OP here. That process has worked on MANY occasions to fix this. I'm going to add this to the OP as well (or second post). Starting fresh like that should help out debugging the problem as well. Even though HTC sync may not be running, there are still background services it has going. Also, I am not saying you have HTC sync installed or anything, but it's a possibility. (This may also be a USB port issue or a cable issue, but those are less likely)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sladehawke:
Great Work!

Thanks for the tool... Worked perfect for me!

The only weird thing i saw was that the on screen instructions said to hit continue if you were already unlocked, but that button has to be pushed either way! I sat there for 5 minutes before I pressed it! Maybe I took the instructions to literally... it's just semantics.

I did it on friday, so maybe you've changed something since then, but I thought I'd throw this out there in case anyone else is reading this thread while waiting for it to do the next step on its own.

The first time i rebooted to recovery it the phone reset and then started the rom, the second time i rebooted to recovery it worked perfectly and has ever since.

(Also, this has nothing to do with your tool, but for those reading this thread as research, if you put a new rom directly on your external sd card before you got started, you will have to go into the twrp options to mount ext_sd instead before flashing. If you put it directly into the internal memory using a usb cable, you won't have to do anything... easier the latter way. )
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Slyie:
I previously rooted using zedomax's method. I just tried Regaw's root program because I wanted TWRP and it gets all the way down to Pushing Root Files and then an error pops up that says 'Error Remounting File System as RW.' Does anyone know how to fix this and is this step even needed since I already rooted using zedomax's method? Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] qqq1:
Looks great! I'll be doing this right after work today. I have one question though. When you are done with this you are left with a stock, rooted, odexed ROM, right? If I want deodexed I just flash it afterwords?

Since this wipes data on the device you may want to put a warning in the op regarding that. Otherwise you can use the 2 step process already established and use titanium after root and before unlock to save your apps.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
Is your internet browserr open when your trying this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
This will only happen if 1 of 2 things happen. One, htcdev is sucking and takes longer than 30 seconds to email the Unloclk_code.bin, or Two, 2 different people randomly access the same htcdev account at the same time. There are 100 different accounts that this randomly chooses from each time it's run, and if 2 people get the same one at the same time, it will give that.

The only reason this should give that is if htcdev redirects to the http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-failure page, which means something was wrong with your token. Possibly this could mean your internet browser is open, but I added code to make sure IE is closed (since the browser I wrote in my rooter is partly IE code it interferes)

Yes, that's correct.

I will add some error checking for that to make sure it doesn't crash like that again. Thanks for pointing it out. Looks like it's having trouble connecting to the email address to grab the Unlock_code.bin. I'll see what I can do about that.

Thanks a lot badengrish, that's awesome to hear. That's really what I was going for too :D

Thank you so much, it is much appreciated. I have been spending a TON of time getting this to where it is now, and I really appreciate your contribution to the efforts :)

Thanks for the note, added to the OP (in red ;) )

I'm working on the fix as we speak. Do you have a 32bit or 64bit machine?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Update:

I'm pretty sure I just found the problem with the recovery flashing issue that has been pointed out. No need to explain the inner code details to everyone, but just know that the next version should have it fixed :) Also, closed up the hole for the error that killed the program connecting to the email server, and a few other minor fixes.

Thanks regaw !! Worked like a charm. had to use goo manager in order to get the recovery working But overall awesome job.

May I request you to do this for the og EVO 4g as well ? I can't for the life of me figure out how to use HTC dev and fastboot. Been tryin to root my moms phone with hboot 2.18 but no luck.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Oh, I never saw a question from you about this. Sounds like it could be a driver issue. Uninstall EVERYTHING HTC on your computer and then install the drivers again from the OP. Worked for many doing this.

question im rooted with zedomax method and i want to get hboot unlock could i use this method or go to htcdev site and do it there?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
You can use this. That's what I did
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] magics.:
thanx.. o did u have any problems or was it smooth?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Well like Regaw stated earlier since the s-off exploit was found and it doesnt involve htcdev this method will get used less and less. If you unlock via LazyPanda you will gain s-off and unlock the bootloader without HTC voiding your warranty. After unlocking via LazyPanda you will still need to flash a recovery whereas this method does everything for you. Its your call..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] magics.:
ok does lazy panda unlock hboot it self or would i have to do it my self?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but is there an method similar to this one (I love how easy this was) that will do s-off and root w/o doing the HTC bootloader unlock/warranty voiding thingy?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
As long as your "ROOTED" LazyPanda is just as easy as this method. It unlocks the bootloader and gives you s-off without htc voiding your warranty. Check out the LazyPanda sticky at the very top of the development section. Here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737123

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scataldo721:
Sorry let me rephrase that will it root and unlock me w.o voiding my warranty?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
I think thats why he told you to go back to the OP lol. It says in the original post that this method uses HTCdev.com to unlock your bootloader which means yes it will void your warranty. The new LazyPanda method gives you s-off, and unlocks the bootloader without voiding your warranty but its still in Beta form so use it at your own risk. Some people have soft bricked their phones using the LazyPanda method but i've ran it three times on three different devices with no problems so the choice is yours....
