globatron helped me out yesterday via teamviewer. He really spilled his guts on my phone and I am truly grateful for that. It seemed that my computer had problems with USB communication, the unbricker worked after he told me unplug my mouse and keyboard. I made a very nice donation because of his help.

Thanks for the help you guys provide!!!!!

Cheers to globatron :good::good::good::victory:

The PJ75IMG.zip is not going to give you S-off. It is used after you've gained S-off to get you the latest Hboot I believe.

Alright so I've been reading up on this for a couple days now trying to learn as much as I can about the bugs and fixes. One question that is keeping me from pulling the trigger on this is whether or not the Linux version is stable enough to use? I run 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, but I have a Windows 7 vm in case I need it. It's my understanding that vm's aren't supported.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dteze88:
Thank you so much to the OP. Worked like a charm on my first try. Post 475 is very useful and followed those directions and the OP's directions = profit. S off FTW! :D Running windows 7 64bit, worked like a charm. Thanks!

I had serious vDM client issues. Wiped and flashed, super wiped and flashed. Nothing, called Sprint but only got calls and texts to work when on WiFi. Make sure you have insurance and can be without the phone for awhile.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leerage:
Nope you are good to go. LazyPanda flashed the customer bootloader for you. If you want, reboot to the bootloader and you will see the custom LazyPanda water mark and your hboot should be 1.12.2222.

From here you can flash Captain Throwback's firmware package to update you to the latest firmware.

There shouldn't be an issue with 64bit Ubuntu. Just make sure you get the libs

Followed post #475 with the exception of the"adb" commands. Kept getting a "adb is not recognized....." error in the command prompt. I believe it has to do with Win7 not installing the SDK tools in the root of the C drive. I believed my computer was communicating with my phone though (I was able to see the phone's SD card) so I proceeded with Lazy Panda.............................

Everything worked out great. S-OFF and now have updated radios AND firmware. Thanks OP and post #475.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
all these write in votes for post #475, it could get post of the year, eh :)

sdk normally installs to tools or platform

and you need to run from that folder

unless you copy the 4 files (including fastboot)

adb.exe adbwinapi.dll adbwinusbapi.dll fastboot.exe

to C:\Windows (or put them in Environment /path)

then you can run adb (and/or fastboot) from anywhere

and as baknblack had posted,

shift + right click is a good way to start command prompt in directory you want to be in.

Open command window here

Pretty sure mine just got bricked, never had this happen so i'm a little distraught. I followed post 475 & it didn't load in the 30 seconds. It keeps going past 700. I had ROM freEVO LTE 1.2, rooted with RegawMOD, Unlocked TWRP recovery, Windows 64 bit. I don't want to make it any worse by trying possible solutions without proper experience. Can anyone help me out? Thank you a lot.

Edit: Going to try S-OFF QHSUSB_DLOAD fix, although i've never used linux.. lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmhama2:
Go here.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1738481

I guess these EVOs have the inherent risk of bricking when you run FeedPanda. I still haven't tried because I'm nervous haha, but that is the unbricker tool.

edit- actually i don't really know what you run yet because I haven't even tried to run it yet.... guess it's called LazyPanda *womp*

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

well, look at post #475 step 1 ...

i was already htc unlocked and rooted running Fresh 5.1.1 so if you want to go and unlock

freEVO LTE 1.2 IS NOT Fresh 5.1.1, which is just about stock.

Hi guys, welcome to freEVO LTE 1.0. This ROM is 'senseless' in that it doesn't have the HTC launcher or widgets, and tries to remove as much bloatware as possible while maintaining a fully functional ROM

ah, doesn't sound close to stock to me !

Fresh 5.1.1 works, so why wouldn't everybody use it to Profit with S-OFF !

and then go back to their regularly scheduled programming

Holy crap.... 150 pages.... Finally caught up... Gotta admit I had to skip about 25 pages when I reached Page 100... Got to repetitive...

Never considered myself a geek, but after this I am not quit sure.... Lol...

Anyways.... Now I want to s-off too.... Heard there was a updated that didn't allow to feed the panda anymore.... I did not accept any ota update... Still I would like the one check.... Is there a way to see if a update was applied, dass or what version I have?

Thanks...

seriously, someone will let you know.

i can't tell. i'm testing viper4g beta

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmhama2:
yeah I've thought about just using HTC's unlock tool, but I kind of like the idea of being able to S-ON and run an RUU to make it seem like I've never done anything to my phone. Has anyone used the unbricker tool with 64 bit ubuntu? I'll make a live cd if I have to but I don't really want to haha.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:

SUCCESS!!!

Just achieved s-off! Went off without a hitch. I think some of you who have had problems might not have disabled Fastboot...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Settings>Storage>Unmount Storage Card>Erase
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MSmith1:
Disable fastboot? Post 475 which everyone is quoting as THE way to do this doesn't make any mention of that. Also, post 475 doesn't mention having wifi on/off or having a freshly formatted card. Did you do any of this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
I bolded it in the above statement. As for the other two, they are just precautions, but couldn't hurt.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MSmith1:
Thanks. Didn't see that. As far as wifi, did you have it on or off?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
I did it with wifi on and with a completely blank 8gb sd card I hadn't touched in a very long time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Triny511:
achieved S-off with windows 64bit, stock ROM, unlocked twrp recovery, formatted SD card, wifi on, fastboot disabled. Also followed post #475.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rammv:
Me too just did it held my breath for awhile but no problems. Used my backed up stock rooted rom, unlocked twrp and an old formatted sd, wifi off fastboot diabled , debugged and followed post 475. Great job on the post.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Triny511:
is there any difference between 1.12 hboot & the 1.13 hboot in here?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leerage:
You mean 1.12 and 1.15?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You know what's funny is that there IS a 1.13 HBOOT - It just happens to show in the bootloader as 1.12. Most everyone's device probably shipped with it, too.

But I doubt that's what the poster was referencing :rolleyes:.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Triny511:
I was referring to the hboot on the lazypanda website because I saw that a file reads hboot_1.13.2222
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
yup, that has the fastboot commands,

or, as they word it, fastboot flash enabled
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Triny511:
so applying that change, will change hboot to 1.12.2222 from my 1.12.1111? I'm always so trivial.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
yup.

and then i flashed Dan's customize bootloader (which you don't have to do)

and went with the 'stock look' so it reads **** Locked **** S-ON HBOOT-1.12.0000

and got rid of the red text on the splash screen

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Just wanted to say thanks again. Have done 3 devices now, ALL shipped stock roms and have had not a single hiccup. Post 475 details it all (I looked at it to see what was said since I had already done 2 devices before that post) and is pretty easy to follow. :thumbup: :thumbup:

This last device was already HTCDev unlocked but it was a breeze, just like the others.

Now tonwait for Flipz to update Fresh so I can get my Wife and Mothers phones updated again. Lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
i replied to you and said you needed to follow the unbricker routine.

you didn't reply in this thread, nor did you pm me

and i don't see that you asked for help with unbricking.

so, i'll ask. you can't follow, don't understand, the unbricker instructions ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
I can't get the unbricker to work using Ubuntu live cd it won't allow me to extract the drivers

sorry I did reply that my device was not talking to my pc after you told me to use the unbricker

but now when i connect it using the usb cord i can hear it connecting
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
in unbricker you extract 2 files from the file you download, pandafinder. you aren't extracting any drivers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
i did extract them and when i typed the command to run pandafinder in the terminal it told me those files dont exist
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
when booted up to ubuntu live CD

extract the 2 files to Documents

in Terminal cd Documents

type ls (that is lowercase LS) and the 2 files should be there

if so, you are in the correct directory to run your commands.

and when it finds bricked device /dev/sd? the ? will be a letter. let's say it shows you /dev/sdf

your next command will be

sudo ./PandaFinder -d /dev/sdf

you should be good to go with that info.

give it a try.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jerz:
I wouldn't give up... I'm sure you're just not in the correct directory where the files are that you need to run the program.... I remember some old dos commands that helped a little (of course I had to google to figure out how to find terminal). Unbricker worked great for me; no reason it wont work for you! I still haven't had a chance to try again and thought I might read more before I did anything else.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmhama2:
I put my phone into airplane mode actually.... Figured I didn't want a call coming through in the middle of running the program.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
ok i got it to run it ran through the process and said everything seems ok. it went back to the downloads folder so i assumed it was ok to unplug the usb but my phone still won't turn on. :(

I'm hoping it's just a low battery.

The orange light was blinking and now it's a solid orange light it that helps.

Was just a low battery woohoo I'm back in business thank you all for your help and support you all ROCK!!!!!!!!

Achieved S-OFF last night.

Followed 475

Windows x64 Ultimate

Temp Rooted from ZedoMax (so I just kept those drivers)

Made sure my build.prop matched what regaw_leinad suggested.

Wifi was on

I did notice that QHSUSB_DLOAD driver wasn't there initially. I tried to update the driver but before I had the chance it had moved on.

Took less than five minutes. Installed TWRP and awaiting FreshRom to update before leaving the stock rom.

from lazypanda site before Instructions ...

Recomendation:

Backup the contents of your external SD card before running this procedure. There is small risk that data could be lost.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] webby_s:
So it looks like I'm bricked too, I obviously know about post #475 now but where is the post with the Linux unbricking instructions? Guess I have to do that. Then start over with #475
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Just did another phone, no issues, stock rom and of course, post 475 covers it all. I did realize that the reason my first S-off device had activation issues after because I canceled the Handsfree activation while/after Panda was running. I let the activation run its course on the last 3 phones I did and none had the error 16 issues.

I noticed that the "blank card" notification popped up on this last phone I did BUT when I put the card in my other phone, everything was still there. (I'm using a spare 8gig for rooting duties) so check that card just to make sure.

LOVE THE PANDA!!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
Do you think a 64MB micro SD card is way too small for the Panda? I prefer not to use the 32GB that's already in my device since it's got multiple partitions and lotsa stuff I wouldn't wanna chance losing. I left my 8GB card in my old Evo when I sold it to a friend, so the only spare one I have lying around is a 64 MB. Whattdya think? Think it's enough?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
This seems to be iso for a cd if I look at the size, and but can I also burn this to a dvd? I have havnt had CDs for quite a while...

Also they always talk about using a different sd card or saving it... Now is the Internal memory, apps, and settings..... Not at risk?

Sent from my EVO LTE Form tapa talk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Do you have a pc to backup the 32gb card? I would do that instead of chancing the 64mb card. I don't know how much space the panda needs so I can't say whether or not its big enough. I can tell you that my card was unharmed and left intact after running the tool so if you backup your 32gb there's a chance you won't even need to copy everything back to it again.

I recommend you just dual boot Ubuntu by installing it on windows, then restarting your PC and choosing to run Ubuntu. It's easy because when you're done you can uninstall it from Windows. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?distro=wubi&release=&bits=

When I got bricked, ran the unbricker, everything was fine afterwards except my SD card had gotten wiped, which i backed up anyways. So you'll be fine with internal memory.

to make sure you have clean start,

make nan backup and then copy contents of sd card to your pc.

full wipe and flash Fresh 5.1.1 and reboot.

use phone to format sd card. what size is it ?

in control panel, uninstall everything htc. reboot.

download the lazypanda link for htc drivers. install (be patience, let it do it's thing).

when done, reboot pc. reboot phone.

test adb and fastboot connectivity.

then you should be good to go with the phone.

redownload the lazypanda software.

run it as administrator.

give that a try.

Make a call from your LTE. Listen for the error code it says. Then call sprint from another phone. Tell them the error code you r getting. They need to do something on their end. They will have u reboot phone so u cannot call them from ur LTE.
