For the folks with Secure Element Error that have already installed this update, did it fix it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ooxteme:
Okay I'm s-off via the panda and running

Charmlon rom. Twrp recovery. Would the version posted a few posts back be okay to flash? Thanks guys
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
I downloaded the update on my rooted device running a custom Rom, but did not install it. Going to wait and see what others report. Did the update on my Wife's stock device and wallet works perfectly on it now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sandtrapjack:
I downloaded the update. But when I attempt to install, my phone seems stuck on the "Verifying Update Package" screen. Been like this for 25 minutes now.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

I am not rooted, btw.

[EDIT: Never mind...got it installing now.]

Sorry, should have specified - S-ON.

I followed the guide here for my root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671577

Haven't done anything beyond that yet, as I'm satisfied with the stock experience. Only reason I even did that is I wanted to add the emoji font to my phone because my GF has an iphone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cordy:
Thanks for your response. You may however want to actually try running an app that requires root and see if it works. The update won't touch the SU app but the SU binary may have lost it's permissions to be executed.

Welcome to 7 pages ago. Did you even bother to read any of the thread?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
Just updated. Looking forward to seeing how much better this makes things. Not worried about the Hboot because I can always HTC unlock. Will report back with any anomalies and surprises.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
I pray this new hboot bull**** isn't an hboot1.5 in disguise or I'm selling this damn phone for international pure Google Nexus & cash!

I've had it up to here with the surprises from HTC.

OTA BREAKS ROOT... CONSIDER YOURSELVES WARNED
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ReproOne:
Did you try to recover with RootKeeper?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
My question is does it prevent root like hboot1.5? Does it prevent flashing recoveries, radios, kernels etc right in recovery? I wasn't rooted anyways, but I definitely don't wanna run to adb just to flash a kernel like we used to on 3d before Flash GUI.

LT. EVO reporting sir!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
We should still be able to HTC unlock though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Halumian:
I have been unable to restore root using RootKeeper after the OTA update. It just hangs my phone until I force a reboot. Meh.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Does it break root or s- off that is the real question since people always fail to be a clear on that one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] natefuhr:
Didn't try... Wasn't that concerned... Only rooted for very occasional tethering
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] natefuhr:
Sorry... I didn't have S-OFF... Just minimal root to allow tethering...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
Agreed. I don't care if it breaks root. S-off is the key. My theory is that if s-off is retained then you should be able to flash a custom recovery and superuser app and get root back that easily. You may have to flash a different hboot but it would be possible if you retain s-off. I think that is the most important question and the only thing keeping me from applying the update. I am rooted and s-off right now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Aeonus:
Looks like you're correct - I thought ES File Explorer working at the root browsing level would have been a decent test, guess not. It won't update the binaries.....says Installation Failed when trying to update binaries. My apologies.

So it does kill root. Bah.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] butterbuns:
hey anyone having problems flashing this through bootloader? it flashes fine, completes with no errors. but it didnt change my radio.. flashed it 3 times now and nothing.. might try re-downloading it but im at work right now and the host site is blocked here..

anyone that lost root able to get it again using the previous root methods?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wjrandon:
I attempted to flash through recovery but it doesn't work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] butterbuns:
you almost positive you have to flash through bootloader.. need to change the name to PJ75IMG.zip
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cordy:
As stated it is only flashable through the bootloader. It is also just the firmware so radios etc... If you want the system update that will be separate and flashed through recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
Could somebody who installed the newest ota pull /system and upload it somewhere for download?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rubber guard:
ive seen it asked, but not answered:

does this OTA patch S off exploit (esp for those of us who aren't S OFF yet)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
The reason it hasn't been answered is because no one's willing to try flashing the included HBOOT in case it DOES . . . :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
I'm close to trying. I don't want to but it seems like a safe gamble since lazypanda didn't come out too long ago. I doubt HTC had time to patch it with this update. In such a dilemma right now ... might just wait in case.

No i was looking for the actual system dump. That has patch files and such for the /system directory. Can't do anything with patch files.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cordy:
Of course you can. I personally have no motivation to do it, but the OTA zip can be modified to include root and remove the firmware so that you can only update the changed files. Of course that would only work for Stock Rooted users. That's the only way ppl won't brick their secure element who are rooted and used Wallet and want to keep root. Of course once you patch those files you can then pull system and have the files you're looking for.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Very strange that they wouldn't address the Multi-tasking since they fixed it on the One X. I would think that the fix is the same, and it would naturally be included in ours. Oh well, I'm happy they fixed some other annoyances. :-)

I have the same scenario. I used the same root method as you specified above, and I am running the stock OS. I tried the OTA as well, and got the red triangle/exclamation mark. Rebooted, checked root access with a "root check" app, and I still have root access, however, the update obviously did not get installed.

Waiting on a solution for the OTA update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] c4inam2n:
I tried to apply the update 3 different times...the final attempt, i did the clean unroot in the SuperSU settings (got rid of all the binarys, have to re-run the root later) still same result, failed...LOL

It is weird that they didn't push the multitasking uodate. Maybe they had already submitted this to sprint & sprint pushes it on the horizon of the enabling of LTE along with the 25005 prl

LT. EVO reporting sir!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] c4inam2n:
thats a good point!...i was looking over the root method "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671577" and he does state that "If you need to unroot, here's RUU"...in his thread it doesnt state that a recovery is pushed but im no developer or could answer this question...only rooted for tethering.......anyone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
LTE has been enabled since day one......

And the multitasking thing could be due to the fact that they have different SoC's....and if it truly is b/c they want to reserve more memory for the GPU the S4 has then it is what it is...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drob311:
Rooted users cannot do anything with patched files because there are .odex files patched and .apk files patched. If someone were to modify the zip and flash the .odex patches onto a deodex Rom they would more than likely have huge problems. The patched files need to be applied to a stock unrooted phone. And the bricking of the secure element is not confirmed. I have flashed multiple roms, never clearing wallet and my google wallet works fine... No offense but your post is a lot of misinformation and could cause less experienced users some serious complications...

Does anyone not recommend installing this if I'm not S-OFF or Rooted? My phone is completely stock, and I want to root someday, but don't have the need to right now. Should I hold out?

Update started...HOW TO STOP

Let me ask all of you a question here.

I was notified of the software update, and I started downloading it.

I am running a ROOTED, Charmeleon Pokemon ROM. How in the do I get it to stop, since I dont want it to ruin anything on my phone. So far the only way that I have been able to make it stop is to turn my "mobile network off"

It doesnt show me a "cancel download" option, the only thing it allows me to do is click "ok"

Thanks,

Bobby
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
So what you're saying is multitasking may be screwed indefinitely?

LT. EVO reporting sir!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
You could apply the update then sometime in the future run HTCdev to unlock then you can apply a custom recovery in fastboot so you can flash roms. HTCdev will always be available while we don't know if the S-Off exploit will be patched or not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I wouldn't do it.

I'm going to check and see if this new HBOOT (1.15) is unlockable with LazyPanda. If not, then you should definitely NOT upgrade until after you S-OFF your existing build.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drob311:
Multi tasking is taken care of in the ramdisk. We did get a new kernel so it is possible that improvements were made although not mentioned. Me personally, my device multi tasks just fine, before and after I flashed the new kernel. I also have a flashable for the new kernel, just waiting for testers to get back to me.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leftspoke:
Just to clarify and be sure, if i am S-ON rooted but completely stock ROM I should NOT allow the OTA? Also, how would I go about getting the update if not OTA?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stickb0y7:
I am in the same situation as a few in this thread - I have used the method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671577 to root but have not done anything beyond that like flash a custom recovery or obtain S-OFF. I have used Google Wallet before it was disabled, but then since I couldn't get back in it to clear the settings, I refrained from flashing anything to avoid killing my secure element.

It seems at least one person has updated successfully but a few more have gotten the "red triangle exclamation point"

What are the options for those of us in this configuration? Unrooting seems to have been tried by others and they still got the error and the update didn't apply. I'm not too worried about losing root, I assume I can always use the HTC unlock later and flash some custom recovery and rom, besides, it will probably be a matter of days (or hours) before someone finds a method to root this version.

Would it work to use one of the "tricks" to make Wallet work temporarily, clear the settings, then HTC unlock and flash RUU or the unrooted version of the OTA?

What's the risk of just trying to apply the update, if it fails I assume you've all been able to just reboot and it starts up without the update?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jimbobcooterrooter:
Tempted

Really tempted to guinea pig this and OTA my non rooted stock device, then trying Lazy Panda. I am waiting for the new team Venom ROM, and I somewhat naively trust that if it doesn't work, it will sooner than later. The EVO 3D 1.5 issue sucked when I had to wait for that, but I think this phone will be exploited quicker than that one.

Thoughts?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
If you have stock recovery, and have not applied any "Mods" or anything that would affect files in the /system partition. You can flash the update like normal, and you won't have any issues, but will lose root.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

I still don't understand the issue you guys have with the HTC Unlock method. It *SHOULD* always work on any future hboot, and you never have to worry about bricks with half-baked exploits and we can flash everything with the HTC method now (couldn't flash radios on the Evo3D). S-OFF is largely meaningless if you are unlocked via the official method, so what's the big deal?

Who is to say that with the new hboot that all the partitions will still be accessible when you use htcdev? S-off guarantees that your phone will always be completely accessible.

Got rid of my root

I had the stock ROM, no changes except that I had rooted my device by zedomax's method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671577

Today I got the message that the update was available, and just clicked install without thinking much about it. After a few minutes, the thing is up and running, SU is still there in my program list, but it no longer works (and no longer will WiFi Tether work or other programs that need root).

I tried re-rooting with the zedomax method but no go. So here I am, hoping that someone will soon have a new rooting method for me...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robert542:
Stranger things have happened. Did HTC come out and publicly say that they meant to make it completely accessible? If not then it could have been an oversight and they could patch it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
I still find it unlikely that HTC would put that much effort in though. The unlocking process should still remain the same. I'd try it, but I don't feel the need to root yet. :\
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
Whoooo-hoooooo! Go get 'em!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cordy:
Note I said stock rooted as in original with root added so that means you're still odexed. I don't just speak out of nowhere. Do yourself and check my prior posts. Perhaps its how you read my statement. It's moot as xHausx is on the case.

Also on my original transformer I did this all the time because I ran stock odex because I didn't care about mods. Simply grab the update remove firmware, modify update script and add Su binary and app. Then of course flash from custom recovery. If you start to throw other variables such as being deodex then someone has to patch their system deodex it and pull and put in flashable zip.

And on the whole Google Wallet issue, I'm just telling them to be safe rather than sorry since you know we have a sticky in this forum that says clear your Wallet settings before you flash a Rom which that user is incapable of doing since its blocked on older firmware. If the information in that sticky isn't valid then it shouldn't be a sticky. Everyone has different setups and what I said doesn't apply to all it applies to who I quoted plain and simple.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
This suggests that I'll have to unlock with HTCDev in order to attempt LazyPanda on the 1.15 HBOOT. No worries, though. I'll confirm the zedomax 1-click doesn't work first as well.

Lol. I actually feel bad that u feel like that. U have no idea what u r missing. Stock this phone is garbage. Straight up trash how ics+ sense 4 runs. Ive been on meanrom for a couple weeks now and multitasking is very much improved, oc to around 1.78 with UV. But it doesn't really even need that its very fast. Browser don't bog down like b4, most of the stupid things HTC did wrong have been corrected. A lot has been done,read the changelog.

Updating could cause/allow the PRL to update which would allow the phone to see the 4G LTE towers. Am I wrong? Updating could make it to where your phone could access 4G. I could be wrong about it though.

Sure there is . . . as long as you make sure you gave yourself an out before you started.

So far, zedomax 1-click doesn't work. A whole lot of permission denied errors. Trying regaw's Rooter next. I assume that one should work, since it uses HTCDev to unlock the bootloader. Then I can test the LazyPanda.

Yes, S-OFF remains after the OTA update. Root and custom recovery will be gone, but those are easy flashes.

But I want to determine whether LazyPanda can root the 1.15 HBOOT, which is what I'm checking on now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmtom1:
How did you get the OTA to work? I'm in the same spot as you, stock rooted w/ zedomax's method, and the OTA gives me the red triangle! and doesn't go through. Rebooting is ok, but nothing changes.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] markbo2000:
I never installed a custom recovery and I am getting the same issues. I am S-ON with Zedomax root. Flashing a stock recovery should be the same recovery I have (being I am stock with no custom recovery).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Toast95135:
So if im stock non rooted and run the update , I'm not SOL with s-off and rooting? I haven't rooted yet but will eventually.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hojosan:
I had a notification in the uppermost bar that there was an update. I tapped it, it asked if I wanted to apply the update, and I said yes (or apply, or whatever), and the OTA update worked. Took some time--5 minutes perhaps--before it finally quit rebooting. I noted that, at the end, it said something like "Updating applications (xx of 78)" since I have, I presume, 78 apps on my phone. Somewhere in the whole process it vaporized root.

Again, I had done nothing OS/ROM/kernel-wise to this phone, except to run zedomax's root script so that I could install and use things like WiFi Tether, root-type file explorers, adblock, etc.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adma84:
If s-off remains, how can you prove lazypanda works without going back to s-on first?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stickb0y7:
I went ahead and tried the OTA. I had rooted using zedomax's method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671577 and had used Wallet. Have not made any other changes to my system like editing any system files or things like that.

Downloaded and installed the OTA with no problems. I didnt' see the Red Triangle.

Went into Wallet and it updated itself and now it opens fine. Interestingly, Wallet still has "Unsupported device" along the top even though I'm not root anymore. Probably due to the "tampered" bootloader.

I have definitely lost root as SuperSU and TitaniumBackup no longer work.

That's all I can confirm as I didn't have S-OFF before or custom recovery. I've also changed my wifi setting back to auto, since I was using 2.4Ghz Only to help with the disconnects, and I'm now on my 5Ghz network to see if it is stable.
