[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sivarticus85:
I don't think that dictates anything IMO, s-off is achieved thru hboot if I'm not mistaken, and I don't think baseband/radio configuration has anything to do with it. Correct me if I'm wrong, this is just from personal experience and reading posts from the OG EVO days...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
As long as the hboot is the same or extremely similar then lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
i would think unlimited.io would have something posted for that device if it worked, no ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
Are they working on s-off for 1.15? I'm going to root and install Viper tonight maybe

**Professional Troll**
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sivarticus85:
I'm sure they are. When it comes to achieving s-off for devices, someone is always working on it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leebo:
In rooted but I want S-Off so I can install mean Rom. In the op it states you must have an unedited build.prop file.

Can I reset to factory first, to make sure I'm stock? Will doing that loose root?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
You don't need to be s-off to flash rom's. You just have to be htv dev unlocked. There are some advantages to being s-off but if all you want to do is flash rom's you don't need it. If you do decide to take the s-off plunge just follow the instructions in the first couple posts for the greatest chance of success on the first try.

full wipe and flash Fresh 5.1.1 rom

just don't install any mods, tweaks etc

build.prop will be fine
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
just install fresh and after it boots do s-off, then install the rom you want like the above poster put. easiest way
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leebo:
Thank you for the replies. I should have mentioned, I'd prefer to not use the HTC unlock because, if I understand, it permanently voids parts of your warranty?

And don't I have to either be unlocked or S-Off to install fresh Rom?

Going to go read up on it now...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
HTCdev does void your warranty but it really doesnt matter as you would deal with Sprint directly not htc if your phone has an issue. You would have to be dev unlocked to flash fresh.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigKenW:
I made the mistake of updating the phone with the OTA and have HBOOT 1.15. I know...stupid newb move. Anyway, I was thinking of doing the RegawMOD HTCDev Unlock here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1690919

From what I understand, that HTCDev Unlock will NOT give me S-OFF. But it will unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, and get me root. If I run this tool, and the DEV's here release an update at some point in the future, can I still apply the LazyPanda tool to an HTCDev Unlocked phone?

The crap with radio flashing all that annoys me to no end. I don't want the hassle, but I need to deal with the hand I have been dealt. I never dealt with it on my OG Evo or the 3D as I always went DEV unlock ASAP.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks all!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
Lazy panda achieved s-off on the original hboot and I'm pretty sure most had already unlocked their bootloader thru HTC dev, I know mine was HTC unlocked prior to lazy panda

Anyone reported this already, not working for me on the latest RUU build 1.22.651.3? Although it did work fine on the last builds..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
It depends on your hboot, if you took the OTA it won't work at the moment :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kiit408:
i had flashed meanrom 1.3 and it would have worked perfectly fine but i didn't know that adb was trully necessary so that's where i went wrong.

I told him to hit you up if he had any problems coz you are the bomb. :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] paradox183:
Just to confirm: LazyPanda does NOT wipe your device, correct? I'm rooted stock, no HTC unlock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
No, but there is a small chance it could wipe your external SD, so make sure you back it up first.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] paradox183:
Yeah I read that but I don't have an external SD. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
Well you do need an external SD to run LazyPanda :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Yes use an old one if you have one available :)

Need a little help. My phone got stuck. Im in Ubuntu right now, but when I do the second command I get a permission denied. Any help?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
you still stuck ? are you using a live CD ?

put the two extracted files in Documents

brickdetect.sh PandaFinder

and from Documents directory

chmod 755 brickdetect.sh PandaFinder

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sminker:
I figured it out. I had to redownload it. Cd to that folder and do it from there. It wouldn't let me run it from its original location. After using ubuntu I may have to play some more with it. I was able to unbrick, fix sdcard and rerun feedpanda and it worked perfect with linux.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] durandetto:
Finally got the balls to do this and followed the first 2 guides in the second post and it worked like a charm first time around. Took less than 15 minutes. Thanks to everyone for all the helpful posts and to those responsible for lazypanda for their amazing tool.

sorry, i forgot your first name, but remember those awesome Myn/Warm days !

edit: it looks like in 1266 the downloaded lazypanda is unarchieved/extracted to the same folder it's downloaded to, which is where you need to run the commands from.

using the ubuntu live cd for unbricking, i extracted the 2 files into documents and ran the commands from there.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
I remember the myn/warm days well too, and you didn't forget my name Bruce. It's Paul, and we talk in the myn huddle on G+ all the time. :) As for doing it from a PC, I may resort to that but I have long used Linux as my primary OS and prefer it.

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

I did everything in Guide 2 to achieve s-off.. and i really mean everything.and this is some tips for the noobs for future s-off'ers

-Get onto FreshRom 5.1.1 (Not MeanRom or Anything else)

-Do as told in "Guide 2 by leerage post # 1585"

-Success

ALSO for those who cannot unbrick and having issues using unlimited.io unbricker!!!!

-The video shows "cd Downloads" as the first enter... which is cool but does not access the correct folder and you will continue having issues.

-If you (like me) "extract here" where your downloaded zip in your "Downloads" folder is.... You'll See in your downloads folder 2 things:

-PandaFinder.zip

-PandaFinder Unzipped folder

-What the video doesn't show you is if you do that you must enter your downloads folder in terminal ubuntu by yes:

-cd Downloads

-But also enter that PandaFinder Unzipped folder by putting in

-cd PandaFinder

So now that you continue all the steps your finding all the files and not having all the errors you have now just an FYI..

It took me 1 1/2 days to find that out thanks to BRUCE DOG (lowetax)! Thanks again bro!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
yer welcome Kenneth ! mr adb specialist, now :)

that was some path sdk got installed to !

only problem now is the direct download of fresh 5.1.1 based on necessary 1.13

takes much too long to download from the geektome link to goo.im :(

i want to do it, but fresh rom its been updated to 5.2.1. do you know or does anyone have that rom? or any other rom that i can use? thanks:good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
I used my stock rooted ROM. As long as it doesn't have build.prop edits it should work.

I did it through Ubuntu since I'd need it to unbrick if it happened.

Post #1266 has the commands. Very easy.

Success!!

I was over cautious probably and followed post 475 as a lot of others have. I was rooted using Zedomax method, stock ROM. I used Windows Vista 32bit. Installed drivers, rebooted computer and phone a couple times to make sure the drivers where good. Ran lazy panda and only took a couple minutes to finish. Thank you to all those who have worked hard to put this together and the all the helpful posts here as well.

I do have one question though...Do I need to download the PJ75IMG.zip from the Unlimited.io site and flash or am I good to go as is?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
Flash that file through the bootloader. That will update your hboot with fastboot

In my attempts to learn, I'm trying to figure out a couple things:

Where do I type "adb reboot bootloader"?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] defjef123:
Ive tried to s-off 3 times now and bricked every time. Followed everything the op says,I have the right h boot,the right Rom with the right base. Uninstalled everything HTC then rebooted and installed new drivers. Ran panda as administrator not sure what I could've done wrong

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

You can Google and download SDK manager. Open a command prompt and create a path to the folder with adb. Then type adb reboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] defjef123:
That would be awesome of you. I'm using fresh Rom and I have all apps and data installed. I'll be out of town all week maybe when I get back you can help if your available
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
depending upon where sdk gets installed to,

the necessary adb files get installed into a folder called platform-tools.

you can add that location to your pc's PATH

or just copy these 4 files to C:\Windows folder

that way, you can run a command prompt from anywhere and have adb work.

adb.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

fastboot.exe

plug in phone

hit start - cmd to open a command prompt

type adb devices and then hit Enter

and it should show you your phone ID

---------- Post added at 03:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 AM ----------

then make a nan backup now.

(optional: copy all contents of sdcard to pc. and wipe sd card)

do a full wipe. flash Fresh 5.1.1 - is that what you have installed ?

and don't install/restore any apps

so you have a clean, naked installation.

test adb connectivity.

feed the panda bamboo and get S-OFF !

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
wee may get something now since the new kernel source is released
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdcasino:
So with the source being released, will s-offing the new hboot be more of a reality than a dream?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
I could be wrong, but I think obtaining s-off is outside the scope of the kernel. The kernel makes up just a part of one partition on the internal memory, whereas s-off is the ability to modify all partitions. If the NAND security status was stored in the kernel, you would lose s-off every time you flash a new one. But more likely if that were the case, s-off would be easier to get and all custom kernels would include it. I think the bootloader is what's important with obtaining s-off.

Is the inux version smilar to the windows version of Panda? I am running the live CD for unbuntu will it be able to run properly on the live cd?

Live CD should be OK. What ROM did you have installed when you ran lazy panda?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iskyi:
I was running the stock rom. I didn't install any rom after RegawMOD rooting. I just did it today too so I was thinking I might as well get Panda S-Off too. Is the stock rom that comes with the phone not usable? I am on software version : 1.13.651.1 710RD
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bastafari:
Yeah after you unbrick check post 2 I think. If I remember right it recommends using clean ROM? Just read the first couple of posts and you'll be fine, I did the same thing with the stock ROM. If your unfamiliar with Linux remember that the terminal is case sensitive. Make a nandroid of your stock if you haven't already also.

Sent from my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iskyi:
But the post says stock rom will work why would it be require to install another rom? I mean I dont mind doing it its just that I thought it would work in stock without a problem. Also I suck in Linux if I have to use terminal for Panda S-off I will reboot to windows to do it. lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bastafari:
I don't know I guess stock works for some and not others. When I soft bricked the only way to unbrick was with Linux which BTW was the first time I used it, but used windows to actually run the s off. You did say you were bricked right? I just followed the YouTube video on the lazypanda site to the t and saved my phone. Twice!

Sent from my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iskyi:
Thanks for the info. I already unbrick and I'm not going to lied but I was pretty scare during the unbricking process lol. But it worked. Alright I will install the Fresh Rom that is in the second post and then attempt Panda S-off again. Hopefully this will work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
your new phone came with hboot 1.12 ?

did you uninstall all HTC items listed in control panel, then reboot,

and install the HTC driver that lazypanda linked to, and then reboot ?

and tested adb connectivity ?

sdcard can also be a factor, but not usually

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
If you've loaded up Ubuntu to in rick then maybe give it a shot that way. You won't need the drivers and post #1266 has great step by step for it.

Maybe I will give this a shot. Will this work on Ubuntu Live CD? Or do I need to install Ubuntu onto hd?

I did do this. I got an old 512mb micro sd card and formatted it to FAT32 before I did ran Panda S off

I did all this lol on the first attempt and it bricked. On the second attempt I just ran the lazypanda program because I had the drivers already installed from the first attempt and all the HTC software were removed too.

Anyone think I should uninstall and reinstall the drivers, basically start from the top again?
