Well - held my breath & took the plunge.

Win 7 64 bit

stock ELTE

Rooted with zedomax.

installed drivers from LazyPanda instructions (checked to make sure no HTC Sync installed)

Backed up onboard sd card

backed up and then erased sd card 2

did NOT turn on wifi (forgot actually)

unzipped FeedPanda-RELEASE-Jewel-WIN to desktop (downloaded June 30th)

right clicked on exe and select run as administrator

took about 5 minutes

voila!

easy as pie.

Restart - hands free activation - pri/prl update. Canceled firmware update.

Thanks to everyone who posted results and problems. Makes this a LOT easier.

Major props to LazyPanda for getting us there in the first place and then sticking with it to keep us up and running.

Thank you thank you thank you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ovrrdrive:
This might sound stupid coming from someone that's been on ubuntu for 5 minutes, but did you try just running the 32bit version of ubuntu instead of the 64 bit version?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tekn010933:
"unresponsive" like in just nothing working, no power at all? or just an hboot screen and cannot do anything past that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kaos420:
you go ahead and try it let us know how it works out for you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tekn010933:
We were using the same o/s and the list you have and now it confirms that cancelling the updates is a must before it updates ontop on the modify hboot?

And you were coming from stock rooted as I was on a custom pokeman to be exact. and both working fine, was trying the post I had couple pages back but think xda is updating something, not letting me in my profile..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] R32_Rocky:
I just tried the prl/profile updates, and they now work. Guess mine had to sit for awhile.

Oh, and I had forgotten to turn on the WiFi, if that might've made a difference? Did run feedpanda via Win 7 (64 bit). There was one scary moment though, when during one of the reboots the system tray gave an error message how a device driver did not load! But I did not touch a thing, not even use the mouse to x out of that error, and it continued on and completed successfuly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Yeh no power at all. Phone was in that state since Wednesday night. But the Unbrick worked after a bit of fixing of Ubuntu. The DEV did that for me tho. Really good dude (The DEV)

Im still trying to figure out how to install the sudo apt-get install ia32-libs on debian/ubuntu

file thats in the instructions for Linux. Can someone poitn me in the right direction for those please

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

Yeah just the 32-bit. I heard it runs a bit quicker. Not sure tho. thats what i was told to install
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ovrrdrive:
My understanding is that you only need the 32bit libs if you're running the 64bit version of ubuntu. If you're running the 32 bit version as recommended on the lazy Panda site I think you're good.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Damn, your right. I read the instructions wrong LOL. Im gonna try the Linux way on my old LTE. anything goes wrong, it wont hurt any. THanks for clearing that up for me!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Nygel:
can someone make a step by step video procedure.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] k2buckley:
Read the thread a bit. Some people have an issue where the phone gets stuck into download mode. During that time the phone is a paperweight. But the devs here are great and have a fix for that, so technically it's not a brick, because it can be recovered.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ovrrdrive:

Using live CD Ubuntu 12.04:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] willy900wonka:
Tell that to my gut....lol. Their unbrick did fix it.

Btw now S-OFF
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Same problem, different version #. 0.1.2 and the MD5 matches.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mexiking713:
Has anyone tried relocking the boot loader and then s-off? Does the splash screen message still appear?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FlowingAway:
You can't flash a custom recovery like TWRP?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] globatron:
smw,

quickest option...use a ubuntu live CD. I can't stay awake to do another update tonight.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JaredC01:
I'll rephrase... Nothing you can't already do with the HTC Unlock method. I assume most people will already be rooted via said method.

If you're not already rooted, surely it won't hurt waiting a bit longer still? :silly:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] boomer8403:
Which version of Linux did you use to get this to work properly? I'm building a bootable USB with Ubuntu 12.04 right now. Maybe I'm being retarded, but how would I get the tar.gz over to the USB? Just drag and drop to the root of the bootable USB while I'm still booted into Windows?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Not a biggie. I'll just run it from my VM later after I get it reinstalled. Thanks for trying. If you want me to test it for you another time, let me know :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] {ParanoiA}:
No you need a .iso version and universal usb installer google it

EDIT: There is a windows version on the DL page
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JaredC01:
Ubuntu 11.11 beta? I think that was it... Old version, I'm actually installing the new version now.

As for getting the file over to the flash drive, you should be able to copy it straight over IIRC. Worst-case-scenario, download it once booted into Ubuntu.

Edit: Thought you were referring to the S-OFF archive on transferring... No, as said above you'll have to download a USB installer; pendrivelinux is a good choice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FlowingAway:
I thought that was the case, just making sure. I'm actually on my 2nd LTE, the first one crapped out when I tried to enable data on the MIUI rom.

No.

But I did go through a Hands Free Activation after first boot and PRL Update. Not sure if this was from me flashing a new ROM after HTCDev Unlocking it just previously or due to the S-OFF function.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aliwho:
Thanks for the hard work, y'all.

Quick question: I'm running the executable on 64-bit windows. It *seems* to have completed, but I don't know if it's safe to disconnect yet.

It gave me the 5 SUCCESS lines, and rebooted to the bootloader. The device is in the bootloader, where it tells me that it's S-OFF. The script, however, still says it's waiting for the device.

How should I proceed?

Allwho It's done..you can reboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Youthanasia:
sometimes you have to say f**k it and just go for it!!

Windows XP...HTCDEV unlocked...Downloaded drivers from OP

Nandroid current setup

Factory data reset and flashed superwipe twice ( thanks smw6180 )

Flashed the stock deodex rom from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1677264 ( thanks viberboy )

Left the rom settle while the phone charged to 100%

Checked USB Debugging...Checked Unowned Sources...Unchecked Fast Boot...And turned on WiFi

Removed current sd card to be safe and installed a spare then reformatted it via the phone

Ran the script as Admin and 3min later SUCCESS!!!!!

Rebooted and updated PRI and PRL... Everything is working great!!!!!

Thanks to all the developers for the hard work and sleepless hrs that you put in to make this a better phone!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
your problem was with your installed ubuntu, whereas running 32 bit ubuntu from the live cd worked great. unbricker couldn't be easier.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
I'm telling ya, follow post 475 and you can't go wrong.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chong67:
I am going to ask the guy at htcevohack if he wants to do it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bsutton:
I followed it. To a T. and bricked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dstorm:
Used current drivers from root. Didnt wipe. Windows 7 64. On second reboot it didnt turn back on, i just pushed power and both volune buttons and held down twice, it booted up and finished. S-off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tekn010933:
You have an old LTE already? Full speed ahead!lol

Not be off topic, but where is my F5 tab for xda prem app?:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
you had fresh installed with no mods ?

at what point did lazypanda stop ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
HAHA yeah, after i bricked it, was already 3 days without a phone. So i got a replacement. Sprint was trying to ge the restrictions lifted, so i could keep it, but Asurion wouldnt do it. Sprint transfered me to a Asurion REP, and i was on hold for over 30mins. I tried to call back but the call kept getting disconnected. So, i may have to mail it back or something. told them i lost initially
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drob311:
Thank you! Worked perfectly. I rooted with zedo's one click and ran this immediately after, worked flawlessly! I used ubuntu 12.04... Thanks!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tropicalbrit:
Question. Windows 7 64-bit system here. Just rooted with Zedomax. Uninstalled everything HTC, then properly installed all the drivers. Made sure to check Device Manager. Did "adb reboot bootloader", then allowed the drivers to install, then "fastboot reboot". Checked MD5 on everything twice.

I was running Lazy Panda. It was immediately after the first 30 seconds of dark-screen. The phone rebooted normally, while LazyPanda said "waiting for device to settle" or something of the sort. My laptop suddenly froze completely. I am now S-On but have --LazyPanda-- at the top of the bootloader screen. The phone works perfectly fine, just not S-Off.

Since I do want S-Off, what should I do now? Not bricked. Just have S-On and --LazyPanda-- at the top of the bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Run the script again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Youthanasia:
Edit:Had to call Sprint for the error 16..I did the ##7???# and MSL but it was a no go..It took them 2min to get me reconnected with no questions asked

I need some Windex and a paper towel i've been on this damn thing for 5hrs now...LMFAO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] globatron:
correct answer
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Nygel:
I got a head-ache now, took the dive and as of now all is well.

Windows 64bit version.

Thanks again for all the help
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jshawjr:

Potential Issue? Cause for temp brick?

Potential Issue, cause for temp brick...

Seems I remember during the rooting/htcdev unlock process...

I downloaded and installed drivers on my laptop,

The first time I ran the root/htcdev unlock,

The drivers were not found,

I rebooted my laptop and retried and all was good.

Could the bricking issue (maybe one of several), be the need to reboot after drivers installed to computer?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jshawjr:
Think I spoke to soon! Now getting thus error and I can't send text messages, but email and internet work fine. I am running viperROM. Please advise. See attached photo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
Granted, I don't have the phone yet and I obviously haven't done this, but usually vDM client errors are ROM-side issues, not root/S-OFF issues.

I would re download, reflash, or wipe data and cache and boot the ROM over again. Of if it's possible, try to clear data on vDM Client and reboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jshawjr:
Okay, just did a handsfree activation, and I'm back up and running...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azrickster:
Throwing in the towel

Well, I've tried this now 4 times - twice with Win 7 x64 and twice with Ubunto 12.04 And I never get past the first boot - just gets stuck waiting for device and bricks. At least the unbricker works!

Last try I followed these steps:

Ran RUU back to completely stock.

Rooted using Zedomax

Turned off fastboot

Turned on USB Debugging

Booted to Ubuntu 12.04

Downloaded FeedPanda

chmod 755

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Try leaving 'fastboot' on. It has nothing to do with fastboot mode in the bootloader. Also this sounds like a driver issue. Uninstall EVERYTHING HTC on your computer, and then reinstall the drivers from the OP and try again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
Can anyone tell me what the PJ75IMG posted on the LazyPanda website is for?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azrickster:
I guess I can try again with fastboot turned on, but what drivers are you talking about. I did this from ubuntu - I don't see any drivers required for ubuntu?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I believe it enables fastboot commands in the bootloader (like an Engineering HBOOT would have).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chong67:
I search youtube: lazypanda htc evo 4g lte

N nothing comes up.

As far as do it, between lottery win or brick this phone, which is more likely?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
It's an updated version of the hboot image that restores the fastboot flash command that was broken in their first version. It should be updated in all of the zips for the S-OFF tool as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rc51rider:
Worked great!!

Gave you all my thanks!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
I'm an idoit lol I just realized you did it in ubuntu haha. My bad. Forget what I said about the drivers. Not sure why this is happening. Maybe try again on windows with what I said before.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azrickster:
Already did it twice on Windows 7 x64, with the OP's drivers and it gets stuck in the same place. I didn't try it on Widows though after doing the RUU back to stock, so maybe I'll try it later when my power finger has recovered. . .

Well, just tried again from windows with fresh ruu, drivers and it munched through all the bamboo without any reboots but then failed S-OFF. So I ran it again and it rebooted and bricked again waiting for the device! I'm done.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azrickster:
I lied, not done. After unbricking decided to try one more time on Ubuntu, but this time I switched the SD card I had been using and put in a 2GB one and it worked.

The SD card I was using was a 16GB Patriot which works just fine. The 2GB one is a Samsung, I think that came with my OG EVO. Not sure why it would make a difference.

Finally after 6 tries!!!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shootin4aces:
Having a major problem PLEASE HELP

So, I ran the lazy panda program... it munched through all the bamboo, did its restart, waited to settle, then said it could not find the panda!

rebooted into the bootloader to see if it had done anything/worked

bootloader said lazy panda at the top but was still s-on

selected reboot

screen went black and has stayed that way, It will not power on, 3-button combo does nothing, not even the charging light will turn on when plugged in!!!

ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS????

REALLY NEED THE HELP!!!!

thanks in advance XDA comunity!!!

EDIT : when i plug the device into the computer it recognizes that something was plugged in but then says it fails to install the device driver... screen on the phone stays black!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdogg836:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shootin4aces:
sadly, it says that it only fixes if you are in download mode, and it requires you are on linux....

on a side note i fired up adb to try and boot it into recovery or the bootloader or anything and it says the device is not found... despite the fact my computer recognises that some kind of device was plugged in :(

ANY other suggestions? :(

EDIT.... it appears my adb is actuallly not working (tried it on a functional device) ... gonna try and fix that first
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
what does device manager show ?

probably QHSUSB_DLOAD

you, like me, bricking at 3 am

a lonely experience - but there is salvation !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
globatron made it clear that there is only one type of brick that occurs with the S-OFF tool, and the unbricker specifically takes care of it. Do not panic, if you get in touch with the people in that IRC they will help you figure out what's wrong.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lexotic_sc300:
So was i just lucky that this worked for me? .. i did this the day it came out without issue .. O_o
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shootin4aces:
Ok, so it would seem that i am in download mode (assuming thats what QHSUSB_DLOAD means...lol ) and now bricked at 4:30am.... did not have linux installed, so i set my computer up to dual boot and installed ubuntu (sadly not the 12.04 suggested cause im tired) need to upgrade (but im on a 64-bit system)... can someone walk me thru step by step how to get the ia32-libs installed without dependency issues and what not.... i am at a complete loss as to how to go about doing this as i am very VERY new to linix ..... any and all help would be greatly appreciated

thanks for all the help everyone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Was it a 32-bit Linux that your dual booting into? If so, you don't need them. But I would head into the IRC like Lowetax said. I never tried S-Off again, but the DEVs back there work. Real good people
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shootin4aces:
It was 64 bit, but i installed an old version and it would not upgrade properly at all so i un-installed and and currently downloading the proper 12.04 version to install... and i am downloading the 32 bit version so things should work properly..... I have no idea how to use the IRC as i have never used it before... even though it is now 515a.m. , since the phone will not charge in download mode i am staying up to fix this since i have no idea what will happen if i let it run out of power... this has been quite the headache tonight, THANKYOU to everyone for the help... ill keep you posted as to how it goes after i get the right version of ubuntu on!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Well when the DEVS helped me, I was using the 32-bit. With the 32bit you don't need that file you were asking about. Just with the 64bit. The go to the IRC Freenode Site and the channel is #unbrick. Put in a nickname and that's it. There's always people in there to help. I'm at work now. So hopefully someone can jump in and give you a hand. Good luck man.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
Its a great feat that the devs have acomplished so far, but are they working on a soltion to fix the bricking issue or are they just relying on the unbrick fix as a solution,,,just curious, Thanks

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] willy900wonka:
I can tell you what not to do. Do not use an sd card with an A2SD partition set up in it. When I used a newly erased 4GB sd it went smoothly. Have done two phones now. I'm guessing they are moving the boot block around.

That all having been said KISS works best. Short address space, with big empty holes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azrickster:
My 16GB card that I was using when it was failing used to have an EXT3 partition for A2SD but it had since been removed and reformatted. Maybe something got left behind.
