Any more success stories with the wifi on fix,,,???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
Will it mess up my Wallet? I figure I can just change it back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
You can just change it back after running the s-off tool
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Echo2Lincoln:
success

win7, removed HTC sync, used a 2 gb sd formatted by phone, wifi off.

i had a constant gapps error after achieving s-off. restored phone from backup and all is good.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
Already says "=jewel".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Yeah i wasnt so lucky with the unbrick method. Once i got to the part where the system finds your device thru terminal, i keep getting an error saying, cant find device. I mean its leterally dead. Nothing is working. Ohh well....In the trash it goes
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Send it to me lol? I'd love to have a device to try and find a new way to unbrick with.

I just went through the process with windows 7 32bit and it went off without a hitch. Once it was done my phone went through hands free activation. I used an old sd card and made sure to update drivers with the ones supplied. I restarted my computer after the drivers were installed just to be on the safe side. Oh and I had my WiFi turned off when I ran the script.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellyrx8:
debating trying it again....hmmmm
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Semantics:
I ran this script on windows. I uninstalled everything HTC that was on my PC, reinstalled the driver they linked in the OP, and just ran the .exe as admin. Worked without a hitch, S-OFF and the only thing that happened was when it was downloading it stopped at 5/45 then it rebooted and downloaded 45/45 and all is right in the world.

I did back up my SD card, but had no issue with corruption. I'm using 64 bit windows.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Im not LOL...Keeping it just the way it is for now
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
LOL hear that man, Had everything loaded and ready to fire, Couldnt have drove a needle in my ass with a jackhammer,,, I havent had this thing out of the box for 8 hours yet. Screw this script, Im just gonna stick with root and find some other way to destroy my phone,,,Later,,,

I didn't have wifi on during the process and everything went smoothly. Only problem I had at first was text weren't sending. But soon as I updated profile and prl everything is good again.

i'm just finishing installing ubuntu into oracle vm virtualbox to play with (for now). btw thanks !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jeezimus:
I had this exact problem as well. About 12 hours later it seems to have fixed itself? Perhaps my PRL updated overnight, but it seems that waiting will self-correct the texting issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Yeah when I get home in a couple of hours I'll see if you guys are still around. I left the phone ugged into the charge before I left the house. Just cause there is no power to the phone at all. Lowetax was helping me do the u bricking. But my PC couldn't connect to the device. Thanks guys
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
I need a stock build.prop or I'll need to flash a new Rom.

The build.prop given is already "=jewel", instead of "htc_jewel", so what does it have to be, and what build.prop .ro?

I really don't want to flash another Rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
can you pastebin.com the build prop? I'll tell you what to change.

Are you going to add this to the root method you have already?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
So, my phone arrives later this week, and I have a decent idea of how I'm going to go about all of this. The only other question left I have to ask if we need to clear data on Google Wallet before doing this. I know in theory we shouldn't need to, but should I, just to be safe?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bsutton:
Hey guys. Can anybody who has gone through a succesful process guide me through? I've tried ubuntu and windows (32 and 64bit versions of both), wifi off, etc..yet every time, my phone bricks.

If u see this post, im ready and waiting. Whenever u are of course
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
hey Jon. the only difference we had

was you were using installed ubuntu,

while i was using live cd (without any password required).

hope you can get it to recognize device !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lbe:
First HTC device i own, Succeed on lock evo + temp root, Win7 64 bit with lazypanda V0.1.3. I used revoke 3.0.0.7 driver.

Everything went well until it was 3/45, the computer couldnt find the driver, then it reboot found another driver and it load from 1->45. I am guessing that reboot is part of the procedure. After last boot up it went to activation without hiccups. Next, I put the PJ75ING.zip for twrp in the root of sd card and installed it.

(Is my only way to get in to recovery is via vol down + power to get into bootlader first and then select recovery from there?, or there are other method to go straight in recovery?)

PS Never use a pos samsung usb cable to do this job, it almost broke my phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joshnor713:
Is there a way to unbrick with Windows? I don't have Linux.

Don't want to this if there's a likelihood that it bricks and I can't bring it back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
Glad to hear it worked for you. The only other way to get directly into recovery is to use ADB while the phone is on, or use the Advanced Power Menu (abbreviated as APM) that is commonly included in stock ROMs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
that is where i ran into problem (3/45) because my drivers were screwed up.

after unbricking, i duplicated post #475 routine and it ate the bamboo the second try with no hiccups at all. i would nan backup and follow that routine. win 7 64 bit here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Desertio:
I am using windows 7. Following the instructions but when it says to run FeedPanda as administrator i am stuck. I dont have the option probably because i am already in admin account. When i click to open it it asks what program to use. Does it matter which one? Any help is greatly appreciated. Here are the options listed.

Software or information available at:

Is there a way to get back to completely stock with S-ON after running the script? I find myself with the need to get back to stock now... after all the trouble I went through to get S-OFF...

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

There is no way to unbrick on Windows. Fortunately, Ubuntu is free and very easy to get. Just go to ubuntu.com and use the windows installer. It is very simple and relatively quick.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
So is it totally random that your phone could brick during this or are most of the issues caused by incorrect drivers?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lbe:
Deleted
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lbe:
You gotta unzip the downloaded file first, then look for the folder where it decompressed the file to. Then right click and select run as admin. U can unzip it by window zip utility or WinZip.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lbe:
I didn't have to manual restart on 3/45. Panda restarted the phone by itself after it can't find the driver. And it rerun 1-45 again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBusby2038:
Just finished running on a Windows7 32bit,worked flawlessly.Thanks for all the hard work guys!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
probably because it found the correct drivers,

wow - my first post using ubuntu :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jimlightner:
guys i used the windows version worked like a charm.MAKE SURE HTC SYNC IS UNINSTALLED..just follow the directions its a one click deal...your going to need winrar or somthing like it to extract it to the folder of your choice..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
there's few guarantees in life - most are not good !

but if you follow post # 475 to a tee (it's anal, but it works)

you should be good to go ! i was !

(nan backup, copy sd card to pc, format sd card, delete htc drivers, install drivers from lazypanda link, test connectivity, full wipe, flash Fresh 5.1.1, run lazypanda as admininstrator.

PROFIT ! then copy nan backups back to sd card, full wipe and nan restore)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBusby2038:
Lol.I'm guessing the only reason mine worked right the first time was because I waited 45 minutes for the Ubuntu download just in case things went wrong:)

Just got S-OFF.

First I got bricked, Irc'd, Un-bricked, Fully recovered my sd, by an expectedly failed second run of feed the panda.

Then made the following changes. Replaced my sd with another and formatted it on the phone, Switched to Wifi on, downloaded a new version of FeedPanda.

Wana sincerely thank the zoo keepers for the Pandas.

Along the way got a nice linux 12.04 Live CD.

Chipping in.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DCLocal:
Perfect!

I have been waiting for something like this as I didn't want to unlock via HTC. LazyPanda worked perfectly for me on Windows 7 64-bit; my phone is hardware v3, stock, rooted but not unlocked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
so

with a new phone, skip htcdev unlock,

but root it and let the panda eat the bamboo for S-OFF ...

is the route to take ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DCLocal:
That is what I did; it was super easy and I had no issue. Even though I would never use the HTC warranty, I didn't really want my phone recorded as having used the HTC unlock site.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ovrrdrive:
Which root method did you use? Zedomax?

Did you have wifi turned on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DCLocal:
I used Zedomax for root shortly after I got my phone (several weeks ago) and my wifi was on when running LazyPanda.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Desertio:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mtg981:
Edit- found the problem

1. I already had them installed

2. Need sudo.

I am preparing to use the lazy panda tool. I have had ubuntu 12.04 64-bit installed for quite sometime, for special occasions.

My question is on installing the “ia32 libs".

A quick search returned that the 32 bit libs can't be installed on 64 bit 12.04. Can I get some help on if this is true? And if not- what is the command for installation of the libs?

EDIT- I AM PREPARING FOR IF I NEED THE UNBRICKER TOOL. THAT IS WHY THE QUESTION ABOUT 32 BIT LIBS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Semantics:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs on debian/ubuntu
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mtg981:
Got it, I just ran command for older version, which is what you posted. I already had them installed! That info I found on Google was bogus.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBusby2038:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBusby2038:
I downloaded the recommended drivers,installed them,uninstalled HTC Sync Manager,restarted my laptop and ran the utility as administrator.Phone was on and plugged in,was a bit nervous at first,figured phone should be in bootloader at least,but wasn't necessary.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azrickster:
Nogo for me.

Win 7 x64

Uninstalled everything HTC

Installed drivers in OP

USB Debug on

WiFi on

Fastboot off

ran FeedPanda as Admin

Phone is borked. Have the QHSUSB_LOAD problem.

Guess it's off to the unbricker!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iknowsquat:
Just wondering-did you reboot your computer after installing the drivers? What ROM were you on when you started?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azrickster:
Yes I did reboot after installing drivers.

I was rooted only using Zedomax. No S-OFF, so no rom.

I did have some customization's applied, i.e. Mik Tweaks, Apple Patent bypass, other build.prop changes (none changing the device name).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iknowsquat:
Thanks. You do know that you DON'T need S-Off to flash ROM's, right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
stock build.prop better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iknowsquat:
What my eloquent friend here is trying to say is that you should have the stock build prop in place before running the S-Off tool.

:)

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't a modded build prop just lead to the process aborting, not bricking?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azrickster:
To my knowledge the only build.prop changes that effect this process are the ones that change the device type/model. . .

As far as flashing without S-OFF, I thought that wasn't possible. You need a custom bootloader to flash and you can't flash a bootloader without S-OFF. . .

Just finished Un-bricking BTW . . . Will try for S-OFF again tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
You can www.htcdev.com/bootloader unlock and flash roms too via a custom recovery. That's still S-ON.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iknowsquat:
I think you're right about those specific build prop changes.

As regaw_leinad pointed out you can unlock with htcdev unlock, you will be S-On but you can flash ROMs, radios, and kernels with a custom recovery.

S-Off will "future-proof" your device so that your nand will be permanently unlocked and you not have to worry about any future changes made by HTC that could potentially change the current situation.

At least that's how I understand it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
my words, exactly :)

(i was walking the dog before, hence my wordy reply)

but stock build.prop probably no fail in that person's case, no ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azrickster:
Ah, yes. But I wanted to avoid registering with HTC and coding my warrantee.

Since I had the funky driver problem will I not be able to achieve s-off with panda? What if I used Ubuntu now that I have it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] R32_Rocky:
Hmm, I might have a strange problem here? The S-Off went smoothly, no problem at all. During the procedure, it also started the "activate phone" process which supposedly succeeded.

But now, I cannot update neither my prl or profile. I get "system error 1233". And I just also noticed - my prl went from 25004 down to 25002! Anyone else have this happen? Any suggestions? The only other thing I did, was use that z image creator to remove the legal text, and flashed that via bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
with root, drivers working and stock build.prop, you should be good to go with lazypanda using windows.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iknowsquat:
Vin helped me understand the benefits of S-Off. I was struggling with it given all our current freedoms. I still haven't pulled the trigger meself.

No, I don't think the build prop was the cause of azrickster's issue. Like he said the build prop changes for Wallet that changed the devices name (which he didn't have) were an issue but it would just cause the process to stop, not brick.

---------- Post added at 04:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------

Keep trying.

There have been reports of users needing to kickstart their data and/or PRL/Profile after this process.

It may just take a few minutes, a coupla reboots, a few more attempts to update PRL/Profile are any combination of those :)

You should be all set.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
but if process doesn't stop, my friend, i do believe you P r o f i t ! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azrickster:
I already bricked trying and unbricked. Will the driver error go away now?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
i guess i have to read all of your posts.

i thought you were rooted only but with modified build.prop and that was your only change from rooted stock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iknowsquat:
Well at some point we may but right now I'm profiting just fine :laugh:

That and the brickability factor have me in lurk mode.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
i hear ya, but I'm glad i went thru the experience.

probably shouldn't have done it at 3 am though :)

being bricked at that time was a lonely feeling, especially not even knowing how to spell ubuntu ! let alone use linux.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] watzone69:
Success, but now I'm craving bamboo shoots. Thanks for making this fun!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] R32_Rocky:
Was there an epst code to start a hands free activation? I seem to think there was one on the old 4G.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
How about go to Settings > Activate device ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] R32_Rocky:
It will show "activated" up top, and give a bunch of account info, but does not fix the problem. Guess I might need to call Sprint tomorrow. Wonder if that code 1233 will tell them I tweaked the phone? Hope not, cause I don't want to have to explain too much.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
just tell them you want to update profile and prl for best network and it ain't doing it. shouldn't be a big deal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
If you know your MSL (if you're rooted, MSL Reader can do this), do ##786#. Press MENU in the upper right, then choose "Reset". Input your MSL when prompted. On reboot, your device should go through Hands Free Activation again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Decided to take the plunge and it worked fine. Win 7 64 bit, device rooted via zedomax, never used htc dev and still on stock rom with no mods or build prop edits, installed drivers (never had htc sync installed on pc), backed up sd card just in case (sd card had been formatted in device originally), wifi on, ran as administrator. Did receive windows messages that driver failed to install during the process, the device also rebooted on step 4/45 during the process. I didnt lose any data including my sd card, i updated prl and profile once finished.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] globatron:
We may possibly have found a mitigating factor that can reduce the likelyhood of getting stuck in download mode. We need to do more work on it but for now we are recommending the following.

1. Stock ROM ( and I mean RUU stock not stock pre-rooted) This doesn not mean custom ROMs cannot work, but there is a specific items that we are looking may or may not affect some custom ROMs.

2. Rooted ( superuser/super su )

Locked/unlocked/relocked and/or use of a custom recovery should not matter.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] roundaway:
Win7 64, HTC Drivers installed from HTC's site from Regaw's rooter instructions, uninstalled HTC Sync.

Used old SD card and erased from Settings > Storage. Fastboot off and USB debugging on.

Downloaded Panda zip from OPs website and unzipped. Plugged in phone and made sure computer saw it. Right click on FeedPanda.exe and Run as Administrator. Several reboots but phone likes bamboo. During execution the program said looking for device and then I got a pop-up in Win saying the QHSUSB driver didn't install. Just let the program run and had no problems.

Did update PRL because Panda ate too much of it, but don't appear to have activation problems.

Next up, customize bootloader. Thanks OP

Edit: Just saw OPs post: I am HTCDEV unlocked and rooted on flex360's 1.51
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Yeha im gonna take my Spare device (Like that?...LOL) and do exactly that, and see what happens. I already lcoked it and ran the RUU. Now im gonna root and see where it takes me. Gonna try and figure out how to do it on the Linux side. Globatron, if u need a tester, lemme know!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chong67:
I been reading these threads post by post. I still dont feel comfortable.

Maybe we can do the wire trick to get s-off just like on the 3D.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tekn010933:
I see what the agent did now Capt, looking at my activation date was 6/29 is when I called. Was doing this for error 16, upon making a phone call recording say's "refer to some guide 369" (error16) which device was not activated. 5 secs later he refresh at we are connected again.

So they cannot see the modify 1.12.1111 we are on now, by the way this happen to me assuming the drivers provided were the ones installed.
