Yeah, xp doesn't natively have that option. CD is the command to move to different directories. I think thats what you were needing.

What ROM were you on?

Did you follow post 2 instructions?

Did you get s-off?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
i had to use unbricker because i had a htc driver issue, and there wasn't post #2 & #475 to follow.

as i hadn't used linux before, i burnt the live ubuntu 12.04 CD, booted it up,

and followed the unbricker instructions and it worked fine.

(as per the instructions: You must have Linux running natively.

A live CD or live USB may be used. Virtual machines are not supported.)

not sure why you didn't understand them, nor why you had to use unbricker,

but i would guess your setup didn't match the guidelines listed in post #2 of this thread.

just a reminder: as my dentist says ...

you only need to floss (backup) the teeth (data/pictures/etc.) you want to keep.

Meanrom 4.4

Yes

No

Somewhere it got screwed up....but whatever. Still S-On, but I'm not stressing it.

Edit : On another note, what are the advantages of going to S-Off? I mean the phone runs good now, what will S-Off do? Also, do people really get through the steps without mega super bricking their phones on a regular basis?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
One advantage is you can flash the new firmware as it becomes available and yes if you follow the steps in post 2 and make sure everything is working before running lazypanda it should go without problems just follow it to the T :D

Btw I bricked my phone doing it the first time and lowetax was very helpful on getting me squared away took like 5 minutes when I ran it again if you need help PM him he's always willing to help and he has even offered to do it for you cia remote access if your not comfortable doing it yourself

How is it you do nearly everything contrary of the very clearly written instructions of the first few posts and then rant when you have troubles...

Possibly, you need to accept that perhaps reading ONE PAGE of instructions is too complex for you... And mail your phone to someone who can follow the simplest of instructions,

Or, resign yourself to s-on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
You didn't follow post 2 if you used mean 4.4.

You need a from based off of the 1.13 firmware with no build prop edits.

Patience my friend. It took me about 4 hours reading n reading and only took about 4 minutes to get my s-off. Its well worth it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carnage10000:
Can I get s-off with this software version using this metod???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
I think so. You need to check your hboot. Power down and then hold volume down then press power to get to the bootloader.

Make sure in settings > battery that fast boot is not checked.

Also is that a rooted stock ROM?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carnage10000:
I have hboot 1.12.00 and yes I have rooted stock rom with zedomax mod.

Do you think can I get s-off with this metod???

Yes, you can. Just follow post # 2.

Any news on getting S-off on h boot 1.15?? I been unlocked for a while but can't update radios and the one I'm stuck on sucks...anyone know a way around getting it updated...should I go back to stock and upgrade then unlock??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoClemency:
I am running HBOOT 1.19 and as a result, I cannot go S-OFF. Does anyone know how to put my phone back to 1.13 hboot or can direct me where this has already been asked? Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] namlas:
You can't. I'm also stuck on 1.15.

I think that's probably the only way. Sadly, I've been trying to flash an RUU onto my phone for the past 3 days and have run into numerous problems. Still trying to get it down to stock so I can update the f'n radio. I'm at the verge of saying f htc and this phone and getting an s3.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoClemency:
Thanks for the information. I guess I will just have to wait until they come out with fix to downgrade to hboot 1.13 or come up with a new S-off method.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I just realized how blessed we are to have the time and attention of the developers of this. Just saw One X still doesn't have S-off, but nearly same phone (from my understanding), and is far more widely distributed.

Thanks

Edit: oh, maybe the tegra 3 version doesn't have s-off but S4 version does, maybe. Still, thanks mass.

Hmm...I have Superuser and am trying to run this on Windows. It will not move past Found Device.....

I've uninstalled all HTC drivers, then rebooted, then reinstalled. I rebooted the phone using adb and then ran LazyPanda as Administrator. No luck, thoughts?

EDIT: Weird, it appears that changing USB ports fixed everything. Worked perfect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
Ok, so without having to resort to reading 238 pages in order to get up to speed, just a quick question... Stock rooted here, hboot says it is v1.19

Does that mean I have to relock, install the 1.13RUU and then use LazyPanda to get S-Off? Or has the LazyPanda web page just not been updated in awhile?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
You can't get s-off with 1.19 or 1.15 as of yet...panda only eats 1.12

LtEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquireSCA:
Damn, that is what I suspected, thanks for the info. So can I still install something like MeanROM ICS? Just have to install the ROM and then go from TWRP directly to Bootloader and install the kernel from there, rather than the "one file and done" that S-Off allows?

Or are most new ROMs off limits to me until I get S-Off.

Came from an HTC Rezound that was S-off for a long time, not sure what has changed in the last several months and new to this phone.

Thanks again!

EDIT, just read that there is an S-On method for MeanROM. LOL
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Yes MeanROM has a kernal installer added in the install script :highfive:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:

Let me know if I'm wrong, but I believe that you cannot RUU your phone back to an earlier HBOOT in order to make your phone S-Off. Am I right?

umm you can root the phone and unlock the bootloader, and install any rom you want :highfive:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
This is true, except that you still don't have the same benefits as S-Off. And if they are the same...then....let's swap phones. Mine for yours. If there's no difference, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

I have no doubt that there will eventually be someone who knows how to do things that will get S-OFF for the rest of us. But it won't come out until it's necessary for one of those people to do so.

Sucks for the rest of us. Then again, at least we DO have the ability to unlock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] htc-ppc:
How do you get in touch with the dev? I need to know how much he needs to get working on the new hboot versions or at least a way to downgrade it. I just need a number even if it is a large figure. There's always a way to get these things going and right now it seems that there just isn't enough incentive. Sad for a phone this recent.

So how do you go about contacting this dev or any other trusted dev to find out what the magic number will be?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
There is a $500 + bounty already :D

Sent from my MeanROM infused EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
what happened when you went to unlimited.io irc channel ? #juopunutbear

last i heard you don't get a response

---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 AM ----------

from xda htc one x ...

As you may already know, once you unlock the bootloader of a S-ON phone you can do everything you can do with a S-Off phone (with the minor inconvenience of using a computer to flash the boot.img). For me the only advantage of having a S-OFF phone is the ability to flash without unlocking the boot loader and potentially voiding the warranty, therefore unless you are going to sell with all the receipts for the buyer to be able to claim warranty, having S-Off doesn't really add any value.

gee - i guess the devs that have htc one x devices don't want or need S-OFF,

since S-OFF wasn't made available to the community...

oh wait, maybe they found an exploit, have S-OFF, and are just keeping it to themselves -

yeah, that must be it ... no incentive to help anyone else in the community ...

@bog3nator - he likes to stop in and drop that 'swap phones' crapola
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BUBBA DUB'S:
Damn swapping crapola!:eek:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] htc-ppc:
Yeah, I already upped it to $1,000. Does nothing. How do I even know they are reading it? I doubt they are. I want to know what it takes to start the project again. That way I have something to work with. I'm not just going to donate money and have no promise of work. I want to get a contract going with a dev to actually try instead of just "It's NOT supported." The rest of the page suggests to not even bring up the subject.

Devs can only do so much for free. I want to hear that it's either not possible or that it is being worked on. Right now it appears to be abandoned.

I'm not looking to bother a dev with asking when will it be out. I'm looking to hire them for their services. I'm willing to pay for their hours, not just a prize if they can do it. To do this, I need to hear back from either Unlimited.io or some other person who can get this done. So how is this done?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
It took a year to crack hboot 1.5 on 3vo man these things don't happen when it's convenient for us, they happen when an exploit is found...with all new devices coming with hboot 1.19 I am leaning towards that one being the one that gets cracked, there are a very small % of users who have 1.15

LtEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] htc-ppc:
There seem to be instructions all over not to even ask about it. It looks like the final answer is that it is not supported and that is that. I do not want to come off as another person complaining to them. I want to find out how much to start up the project. I saw the bounty thread and it was up to $670 for a while now. I pledged $330 more to make it an even $1K. The fact that there is still no answer makes me think that they are just working on something else and haven't noticed it. This phone isn't that old and it's a shame to see that s-off has already been abandoned even if people claim it doesn't make a difference. I don't know what to do. Do you suppose that the IRC channel is worth a go even though no one gets a response?

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

Thanks. Best answer I've heard on this situation. In a year would definitely be too long. By then everyone will be concerned with newer phones. I was looking to upgrade to an EVO LTE, but chances are that a new one will come with the either hboot1.15 or 1.19 and I will not be able to achieve s-off. While I see that it can still be unlocked with s-on, my concern is that it is already a bad sign. I'd like a phone to last and have the dev support the old EVO had. Guess I'll have to keep looking for that phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
We know that isn't true, unless we keep updating the hboot with the RUU. Can't flash a radio, can't boot a kernel or a rom without having to take the extra steps. Again, minor problems (sure), but still problems. Once again, I guess it doesn't matter -- no one really wants S-Off for their phones, so why don't we just all get rid of S-Off across the board! No one needs it, so why even bother? You and bog should be the first to get rid of it completely, just to prove how pointless it really is!

No? Didn't think so. I wouldn't either.

Yeah, I drop that crapola, but you'll notice that no one wants to do that. I'll bet that I could offer a few bucks too, with the phone, and still be denied. Why is that? I haven't gotten a reason for it yet, other than "well, you don't need it, why do you want it so bad? -- sent from my s-off phone"

Why did any of you get S-Off? If you didn't need it, and it makes no difference, then what do YOU need it for?

You don't? Good. Let's swap. You have no reason not to, right?

---

I'm in the same boat as you -- this is a nice phone, it really is. Even with just being unlocked. But, like you (and thank you for having the same viewpoint), I don't understand why there's a lack of ambition to continue this. No one that has the ability seems to care about it (which, again, is likely because they already have it). Then again, the s-off was based from the old Revolutionary.IO fix (or UnrEVOked), so maybe S-Off for a higher h-boot is impossible since no one else has laid the groundwork already.

I still think that we should see about finding a way to use an old RUU. Granted, it's not likely to work, but if you can't S-OFF the new, then that's the next best option, I'd think.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
sorry dude, but neither of us, or anyone else have ever said S-OFF is pointless,

he just replied and said that even without S-OFF YOU COULD FLASH ROMS.

end of subject.

and then you always come back with the crapola.

it's obvious that anyone that worked on getting S-OFF doesn't respond in here,

so to come in here and feed us crapola just doesn't make much sense.

none of us found the original exploit and got S-OFF.

i know your frustrated, but it's not due to those of us in here

that have helped people with hboot 1.12 obtain S-OFF with the lazypanda routine.

paying it forward. <--- some of us on xda enjoy doing that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
The dev that makes meanrom bricked his s-off phone and the replacement was hboot 1.15 or 1.19 and he's not complaining about not having s-off anymore it kinda helps him with people that are s-on understand what they are going through :D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Fuses:
Offtopic discussion about "What is S-OFF and why do I need it" STOPS HERE. If someone doesn't know what S-OFF is he probably don't need it.

What comes about hacking hboots 1.15 or 1.19, well, we need device first. Contacting us (unlimited.io) is not that hard, #JuopunutBear and #unlimited channels on FreeNode or PM's on xda. But don't join on irc-channel to ask ETA's.

how about this i will give you my s-off phone..just give me your s-on phone, but if you have a better car then i do i want to trade that as well :)

being real though..asking for someone to trade there s-off phone just b/c you have the same phone, but just s-on...is kind of ridiculous. especially when my phone is already activated and set to my liking..and not to forget the money and time i already put into it.

also b/c of all this s-off and s-on talk people already having doubts about buying this phone and going other ways...what does that do...

1. removes potential devs from the device

2. hurts HTC who is already struggling

3. shortens the potential long life span this phone could have

yelling at people b/c they wont trade their phones or b.c they have s-off (really what does that accomplish) people are acting like they deserve s-off for all boot loaders, like it is a right of passage. fuses was kind enough to provide us with s-off for hboot 1.12, maybe one day he will provide us with s-off for everything but till that day everyone needs to calm down and enjoy what they have and can do. noone forced you to buy this phone nor are they forcing you to keep it. :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rootlinux:
Plus with most devs adding kernel install mod to their roms, is it that big of a deal?

At most it adds a few extra steps.

They do it to make things easy for all of us.
