I'm almost ready to take the plunge and feed the panda but I can't get the SDK manager let me type in a command to test the phone connection. I've downloaded different SDK versions, platform-tools and adb fastboot, drivers and still can't type in a command. Any advise? Do I need to test step or should I run Panda anyways.

Youtube video made this look too easy to be THIS EASY..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
settings - developer options - USB debugging should be checked √

settings - Power - Fast boot should be unchecked

with phone on and sitting at home screen plug into pc

on pc hold the shift key down and right click on the folder where adb.exe is (platform-tools or wherever)

and OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE

in command prompt type

adb devices

and then hit enter key

should give you

C:\Android>adb devices

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

HT26JS234015 device

C:\Android>

several of us went into control panel and uninstalled anything HTC

(driver installer and sync) and rebooted.

and then downloaded the htc drivers from the lazypanda link,

installed it, and rebooted.

because lazypanda works with that.

i had the same problem, it wouldnt let me type a test command, i tried it twice and said screw it!!! so i just ran the s-off tool, and BAM!!! s-off,,,,,it's up to you,,,taking chances is what life is all about!!!! ha!!!

Has anyone tried to run the lazy panda program had an error that stated:

Quit...

Press enter to exit....

did you install Fresh 5.1.1 ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] icethegreat:
After unsuccessfully getting my damn panda from eating bamboo. I wiped pc, fresh installed win7, fresh installed htc drivers from panda site, fresh installed sdk manager and downloaded drivers & fresh installed fresh 5.1.1 on evo...success....yay for me. I believe the reason i was bricking so much was driver issues from my previous win7. thanks for everyone who helped and lucky post 475

still a little too hit or miss for me...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
FOLLOW THE OP! There is absolutely no hit or miss if you follow it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
The only people that shouldn't do this are the people that can't (those of us that had the OTA updates to our phones....stupid salespeople!). Once they have it set up for the new HBOOT (1.15), I will be doing this. You don't HAVE TO, but why wouldn't you want more control over your own device?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdcasino:
I'm doing it as soon as It's available for the new hboot. There's no reason not to if you're unlocked/rooted already or ever think you might want to. Kicking my self hard for accepting that update:banghead:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] heywetried:
Yeah, I'm waiting on a new exploit as well. I had to take my phone in to be replaced, and the new one came with the OTA already installed! I was very specific in asking the folks at the Sprint store to not update it, and I'm certain that they didn't, because I watched them unpackage it and turn it on for the first time.

For those of us stuck with the OTA, we should realize that it isn't simply a matter of time before we get S-OFF, unfortunately. And if/when it does arrive, we need to be extra thankful to whichever devs bring it to us. The OTA included changes designed to stop S-OFF attempts. And while I'm sure someone is working on it (as well as a new temp-root, which is currently not possible with the OTA), I haven't heard anything about it yet, and I just don't know what the interest level is.

I imagine that there's less motivation to exploit the OTA, partly because I'm sure it's probably a more difficult job, but mostly because almost no one in the dev community took it. I suppose that as soon the next batch of users buy their phones with the OTA pre-installed, they'll be more interest, but for now (and maybe for a long while), we may just have to live with the limited HTCdev option.

That said, maybe I'm completely wrong in my assumptions (or I haven't read enough of this thread, which is possible). Does anyone know for certain if S-OFF for the OTA is even being worked on? No ETA requested, of course, just a confirmation that someone is looking into it would be coolzies.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
i have lazy panda installed already but wanted to see if my fastboot was working rite and when i did the adb devices all it said was

question of the day, did you join the irc and learn anything? i too am trying to be very patient. though it's bordering on obsession. i'm on here 50 times a day looking for that news flash. not much on here of use to me until i can get unlocked (without snitching on myself to htc)

Finally ran LazyPanda.

I did it with a Bootable USB of Ubuntu 10.04. My old laptop wouldn't boot up 12.04 and on 11.04 it wouldn't work right.

It was a piece of cake! No Bricks and took 5 minutes.

I did it with ubuntu in case I did brick. I was on my rooted stock rom. Afterwards I didn't have call or text but I connected to my WiFi, updated PRL/Profile and all set.

Thanks so much!!

Naters
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] I2izzo:
Bricked

So I followed the guide step by step and when the lazy panda was running is said "do not touch your device this will take approx 30 seconds to reboot.... well it never rebooted and I finally touch it after 1164 seconds.... the phone will now not even boot nor go into recovery, when i have it connected to the computer and try to turn it on i can hear the ding as if the computer is recognizing it but i still get nothing... any one got any ideas to unbrick this device or fix what happened?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
There is an unbrick guide on the panda website. (First post)

You'll need Linux for it though.

If you don't have it you can make a bootable CD or USB to run it temporarily.

Naters
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] I2izzo:
Ok, so I downloaded the ubuntu thing and ive gotten through the entire command promt until the very end when I type

"sudo ./PandaFinder -d /dev/sdf"

IT says that the operation is not permitted, Is it because im missing this linux deal? where can I download that and put it on a flash drive? Thank for the help!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
Yes, the unbricking tool only works in linux. Just download it and run it as a live cd then run the tool and you will be all set
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
it seemed like i waited too long between step 9 and 10,

and i went back to step 4 and continued on

with no problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nite2k:
Same thing happened to me. Phone will not charge boot anything. You have to return to Sprint Repair phone. They won't be able to do anything with the phone either and will just swap it out for you.

Next time, install the Android SDK before you run LazyPanda. My second Ltevo went thru LazyPanda flawlessly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] I2izzo:
Lol actually I work for sprint. However, my problem I have run into first is now fixed, I unbricked the device via unbricker for evo lte.. problem now is I am an idiot and ran ubuntu on my hard drive and cant figure out how to get back to windows, after reading up on it apparently I am completely screwed.... ugh. lol thanks for the help though
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
you used the ubuntu live CD, no ?

if you installed it, it would be dual boot, no ?

either way, power down, (remove live CD if that's what you used)

and boot up into windows
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] I2izzo:
i wish i did it that way, on the unbricker page i just clicked where it said "ubuntu downloads here" and just installed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
so you're saying, that after you power down your pc,

and with no CD/DVD in the drawer,

powering on now boots up to ubuntu 12.04 ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jrmatics:
Same here, but I used this method weeks ago and didnt have any issues until a few days ago. I was on a phone call then I went to use internet and my screen went white and shut down. Went through constant reboots and had a fuzzy HTC boot up screen. Would not charge or anything so when the battery finally died I brought it in and sprint swapped it with no problem. They couldnt charge or turn it on either. But my phone was running great ever since I rooted and unlocked so I can't figure why this happened now. And they gave me a new phone with the updated software, :mad:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
i don't see how it's possible that S-OFF could even cause what your describe.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jrmatics:
I don't know what happened. I didn't install anything that should cause that. I was only stock no custom ROM or anything
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
you couldn't get into recovery ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jrmatics:
Couldn't get to recovery, or anything. Tried to connect to my computer to try a get to recovery that way. it connected once for a split second and then it completely shut down..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr0roboto:
Is there a post with instructions on how to run FeedPanda in Linux? Do you just download the file and run it from a terminal or is there more to it?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
It is fairly straight forward. If you know any Linux its not bad. I can give you some commands in a little bit when I get to my p.c.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr0roboto:
I'm new to Linux but I am a quick learner.

I tried LazyPanda in Windows and bricked my LTEVO, so I followed the instructions on the unlimited.io site on how to unbrick through Linux. I was able to unbrick, so I thought maybe I would be able to achieve S-OFF through the Linux FeedPanda.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I did something similar and PC got stuck on black screen that was totally unresponsive. I learned that I possibly overwrote windows. Fortunately, pulling disc and rebooting PC showed I didn't overwrite. But now I'm terrified of that damn CD.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
This is Earlymon's post from this thread. Post #1266

These are the instructions I followed and it worked great. I used my rooted stock rom from when I htc unlocked. I also put in an old 8GB SD card that didn't have much data on it. Although it wasn't wiped out during the process.

Be sure to give post #1266 some thanks after it works!;) And thanks again EarlyMon for the help!

Naters
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
to unbrick, booting to the Ubuntu 12.04 Live CD, you click on TRY - not INSTALL.

that shouldn't do anything to your windows system.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
i followed all the steps to s-off and its still saying please wait patiently.. waiting for device is @ 330 seconds and counting. I have a pop up saying "windows needs to install driver software for your QHSUSB_DLOAD" but i dont know if I should click it or not. Please any help would be great TIA
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dredz:
Sounds like you need to run the unbricker.

:cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Ive done so, and have unbricked successfully. I am booted in Linux, but I cant get LazyPanda to run. What command do I run in terminal?

edit: ran the windows version and am s-off, thanks

edit #2: although I can send MMS I'm not able to receive them now, is there a fix or something I've got to do to enable it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whiterider13:
I had the same issue. I had done a nandroid before running lazy panda, so I used titanium backup to restore from nandroid. I restored apk and data for messages app and message uploader. I have not had a problem since.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
I tried that but no dice. I cant receive calls, sms or mms and cant send sms. I can make calls and send mms, this is weird. Im gonna try calling sprint, would I need to flash a stock rom or will Mean Rom suffice?

same thing happen to me when i ran the s-off tool.. i had to call sprint and they fixed it on there end..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
yes, that happened to many, and often happens when you change radios, etc. too.

a call to sprint, they refresh, and yer ready to rock n roll.

often, the first call you try to make, sprint answers :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Yea it worked when i made the call to sprint thx

exactly what I had to do, although I'm still getting sms slow, i.e. sending myself a text, it takes around a full minute to receive. Not a big deal, more like an annoyance. Nothing I can do about it on my end so I'll have to live with it I guess
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
looked through the past several pages. I am likely going to attempt this in the next couple days. I swear I saw a post that said if your phone comes up during the panada with an error about connection or something and you had to go to device manager and update a driver during install. Didn't see it in the post 2 instructions. Anyone else remember that?

I am the NOOB DEFENDER! from my evo 4g lte XD
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dredz:
Yeah, that was not needed. It was looked at as a possible solution/cause for bricking earlier on but later debunked.

Post 2 is the standard rule for success.

:cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Cool beans. Thanks. Now if my replacement only comes with 1.12

OK one last thing..one set of instructions mentions check for latest sdk another doesn't so if I don't have latest ask is that an issue? I don't have home internet so updating may be an issue

I am the NOOB DEFENDER! from my evo 4g lte XD
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
I'm really not sure on the SDK stuff. I was going to try in windows and hoped it worked but I couldn't get my P.C. to talk to my phone through a command prompt so I decided to load up a bootable Ubuntu USB and try it from Linux.

I had no problems doing it on my stock rooted rom. And since you need Linux if you brick I figured I may as well do it that way then.

Post #1266 has some great instructions for doing it in Linux. EarlyMon is a Linux Superstar!

Hope that helps. Long story short I didn't fell comfortable doing it in windows. Creating a Bootable USB is really easy. And learning something is never bad, right?;) It was a first for me.

Naters
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Maybe ill download and try a boot abler USB again. I had zero luck last time but I was to to hit install not "try"

I am the NOOB DEFENDER! from my evo 4g lte XD
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dredz:
All of the instructions given refer to android sdk. Either directly listed or when forwarded to post 475.

:cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
The second set only refers to abd/fastboot from sdk.:cool::cool:

I am the NOOB DEFENDER! from my evo 4g lte XD
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dredz:
All of the bolded lines refer to the sdk in some shape or form.

Not trying to argue with you, I just want you to have the best experience and chance at gaining s-off. HTH.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
while my phone was rebooting windows said driver not installed but it didnt matter as it still worked
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
yup, that windows message can be ignored.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
I think I am going to try the linux way as it appears there is less to screw with. Not a linux expert but it looks simple enough and I have used it a bit. Any other recommendations from you besides that post?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Not really. The only thing that threw me for a loop at first was not realizing that there is a "space" after "ls". But if you've used Linux then your probably all set.

Also keep in mind that upper or lower case makes a difference.

If you have an old computer like I do Ubuntu 12.04 may not work. I ended up going back to 10.04. 11.04 would boot up but Firefox wouldn't stay open.

My laptop is at least 10 years old and has 512 MB's of ram.

I used Pendrive to make the usb. It's on the Ubuntu website. Very easy to set up.

Have fun and stay calm. Oh last thing make sure you use a rom based off of 1.13 and it doesn't have build prop edits.

Hope it goes well for you.

Naters
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Yeah my netbook is a couple years old but running 12.04 nicely. I had issues installing Lubuntu last time so I did the TRY and then installed on a separate partition once it booted. It's running it nicely. 1.6ghz Atom processor and 1.5 gb ram. GPU sucks but it works. Thanks for the heads up. I started panda last night on my other evo 4g lte and it started fine. Didnt let it finish cuz of the 1.15 HBOOT. God I hope this one has 1.12.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
So...my phone showed up today and I will be trying it tonight on rooted stock. With S-off do I eliminate the need for the dev unlock?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
oui
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
oui? That like the Japanese bow thing... Bow while grunting oui!

I know it means yes in french
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
So sad right now. New phone showed up with 1.15 HBOOT
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Ah bummer. Sorry to hear that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
unlock time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoClemency:
I tried this two times now. The second time I followed every direction to the "T". However, my phone bricked both times. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions. That said on my second attempt I did exactly what the instructions said. So let me know if anyone has any suggestion of what could help outside of what the instructions said. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
you confirmed you didn't take the OTA by confirming that you have HBOOT 1.12

you did a full wipe and flashed Fresh 5.1.1 and didn't install or restore any apps.

you went into control panel on your pc and uninstalled anything starting with HTC and then rebooted pc.

you went to lazypanda site and clicked on THESE HTC DRIVERS link and downloaded and installed them and then rebooted pc.

you have sdk installed and tested adb connectivity between pc and evo lte.

you copied contents of sd card to your pc and then using settings-storage you erased your sd card.

you rebooted your pc and your phone.

you ran lazypanda as administrator.

give it a try !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoClemency:
Yep, that's pretty much the sum of it. Like I said the first time no, I didn't follow all the directions thinking that it will work just find if I cut a few steps out. But after bricking it once, I made sure I read each step carefully and did everything that the directions said in hopes it would work this time. That said, it did make it one step closer than the first time. The first time it froze in under 10s. This time it was working almost 40 seconds making it to the following step before it said waiting for device and the device never responded. I even gave it the benefit of doubt and waited 20 minutes to confirm that it would respond since so many people said this step can take a while. But nevertheless, the phone never responded, and I was forced to unbrick my phone again. Again I'm looking for a suggestion of something that I should try that wasn't in the instructions because the instructions give you a step by step summary of what I did, at least on my second attempt.

That said, the only thing I might not have done right is "you have sdk installed and tested adb connectivity between pc and evo lte." I installed it and rand adb.exe and it ran a command line script and then closed. Nothing appeared to have happened which may or may not be correct. If you can, can you please explain this step in greater detail to see if I did this step correctly? Thanks.

In addition, I might try doing this in Linux to see if that method works. Do you think it might have any effect?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
adb

in windows explorer, hold shift key down and right click on android-sdk-windows/platform-tools folder

left click Open command window here

plug in phone to pc. you should hear a connection beep

in the command window, type

adb devices

then hit the enter key

it might have two additional lines

but should wind up with your

device id# device

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices

List of devices attached

HZ25KT416159 device

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
If you've been unbricking it then you could try running lazypanda through Ubuntu. Post #1266 has some instructions on what commands to run.

Also I have read where some people have manually rebooted their device while still connected and that has gotten LP to start going again.

Naters
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoClemency:
Thanks, I'll go back and retry the adb test to make sure everything is working right there. If that fails, I'll probably just try it through linux to see if that method works better for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PillowMetal:
Another thing that I think is equally important in this process (after everything else is checked off the list) is to boot to bootloader and back, just to make sure your drivers install properly in those modes. More specifically:

adb reboot bootloader

Wait for the PC driver loading to settle down, then:

adb reboot

and let things settle down again. Finally, run:

adb devices

to ensure your ready, then proceed with the lazypanda.

P.S. Just for the record, I also RUUed back to stock before attempting S-OFF and did not use the recommended custom ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] roninep:
Just a thanks...

to all the hard work done involving this S-off.

I was HTC dev unlocked and rooted.

Followed post #2 EXACTLY (reflashed from Viper to Fresh).

Rebooted PC (Win7) when told to.

Did nothing that wasn't in the instructions.

20 minutes and I'm done. S-OFF.

Thanks again to everyone involved. You make it easy for us.

On to flashing...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
@noclemency

Check youtube for a video by qbking77 how to install sdk. I found it by Googling how to unlock galaxy nexus, and the sdk instructions video is a link in that video.

The step I missed that caused adb.exe to flash and disappear like you described was I didn't have Java installed on my PC. That's apparently necessary for the sdk to work. His video is spot on. Check it out. Good luck. Yes, check in cmd prompt for adb devices for connectivity before attempting lazy panda, critical step, obviously lol
