[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
So far I've got this on every ICS bootloader/ROM combo that I have tried. It all started after I flashed the v7 bootloader. I have only tried Civato's Roms other than stock. Mine usually happens during playing 3D games and a lot of the times the screen is flashing like crazy. When I (finally) get to the desktop, I have the same issue as you. No icons visible. But they are still there and can be touched to launch them. I have completed a full wipe, data\media and all. I mean totally erased all data from the tab. Went back to full stock 3.1. OTA'd all the way to ICS and so far I've only seen the issue once. Where by this time with the unlocked bootloader/ROM combo it would have done it many, many times.

I want to believe that it is a hardware issue so I can return it while the warranty is still good. But until I am more sure I am just going to Flash a few more different bootloader/ROMs and see if it helps. While it stinks to have this issue, it is really great to have all of these options for flashing. Makes me happy I chose this tablet.

Missing Icons

I am using the default launcher. Thanks for the tip. The next time it happens It will try killing the launcher from the settings apps. I have downloaded another launcher to try
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Thanks man. I'll go back to the worst offender. One was much worse than the rest and I have a full nandroid of it. I'll reload it and add a new launcher this weekend and report back. Still running stock and the issue is much better, but with the JB port incoming I'm definitely going to need the patched bootloader.

The best option right now is to download and flash either the odexed or deodexed version of the Rooted Stock ROM, which can be found here on xda - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766628

<MOD EDIT>

THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR REGAINING S-OFF

DO NOT PERFORM THIS METHOD IF YOU WISH TO KEEP S-OFF

</MOD EDIT>

So i didnt want to wait for the devs to update thier roms, and i wanted the radio updates as well. for all those ppl say not to do the OTA you will losew root until a new method is found are not correct. Yes you will lose root, but you can get it back. and its easy. Here are the steps

1. Relock boot loader

2. apply RUU for the same rom version you are running http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1645890

3. rerun RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter

3a. It will sucessfully unlock and flash the recovery on your phone, but it will fail to root it.

3b. Download the rooting files http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/HTCEvo4GLTE/rooting/Evo4GLTERoot2.zip

4. Extract the contents of the zip file

5. Copy the file CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip to your SD card

6. Reboot to recovery

7. Flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip

8. Reboot to system and Viola you have have a rooted install

But can you still unlock with Lazy Panda?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
You are not correct. People are not saying "Don't do the OTA because you'll lose root", they're saying "Don't do the OTA because you'll lose the ability to S-OFF".

This happened with the Evo 3D. We had S-OFF for HBOOT 1.4, and then an OTA comes that upgrades to HBOOT 1.5. The S-OFF exploit was patched with 1.5, making it damn near impossible to S-OFF.

Seriously. If you're even remotely considering S-OFF, don't bother with applying the OTA. Wait for ROM devs to incorporate the OTA into their custom ROMs, because they will do it in a way that doesn't change your HBOOT or any other sensitive partition.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] HseloMein:
Sure you may lose the ability to "S-OFF" but in all honesty, with these phones I can do every thing with S-ON, that you can do with S-OFF, except i have a couple of extra steps. Honestly the only reason i would S-OFF is to flash the radios easier. but how many times do you acutually flash a different radio to your phone? I do about every time there is a new update.

This is really for the people the HTC and RegawMod Unlock. Lazy Panda ppl continue to heed the disclaimer. I have no desire to completly S-OFF, unless someone can come with with a compelling reason to do so.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sn0b0ard:
Dude, just listen to LiquidSolstice on this one. DO NOT OTA an already S-OFF PHONE! Literally in a few hours we will probably have a stock / rooted ROM posted. Just have patience.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
The compelling reason to S-OFF is the fact that HTC and Sprint are never made aware in the slightest that you have done anything to your phone. The Dev unlock runs and tells HTC and Sprint that you are messing with your device. If done correctly, S-OFF gives you complete unfettered access to your phone, and with the proper tools, you can ensure you don't have to deal with the warning text on the screen that almost criminalizes you for having the audacity to unlock your phone.

People who are S-ON and HTC Dev unlocked ultimately run into strange issues down the road. You just wait until full AOSP comes around. On the Evo 3D, it was a nightmare. Even on the One-X, they're having issues because their boot partition is still locked and they can't use custom kernels (though I don't think that's as much of an issue with our phones).

S-OFF is so easy to perform, and the ONLY type of soft-brick that sometimes happens when performing it can be easily fixed with a dedicated tool. There is literally no downside to being S-OFF.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
I'd love to see you have the H-boot say S-ON and ***locked*** while still rooted

While your at it, go ahead try to remove the red HTC text as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
Lol so much fail. Good luck with that bro. I'm keeping my s-off

No one should follow this guy. You better hope it doesn't come back to bite you in the ass.

And you sir are in denial.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
And although this may seem like just a visual thing, I have a friend who sent his phone in Dev unlocked and they denied his Google Wallet claim to replace the phone.

He then got his phone S-OFF'd through LazyPanda, changed the bootloader text, and sent it in again, and granted, I didn't think it would go through, but they accepted it that time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] HseloMein:
Well that is a compelling reason for me, but i still think the 1st post is good for ppl that do not want to S-OFF after doing an HTC unlock. Im sure there are other users out there like me. The disclaimers and watermarks dont bother me in the slightest.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
While I respect your choice, I must also respectfully disagree with it. Regardless of what I think, you did take the time to explain how to re-root, and for that, I can't fault you. Thanks for your contribution.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sn0b0ard:
A recognized developer warning us should be enough reason.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RoidPusher:
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but if you do accept the new update and lose S-OFF can you not just run the original RUU to get back to the release image which allows you to S-OFF again?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
Once you apply the ota it installs a new hboot that blocks the current s-off method so keep that in mind. I don't know if running a ruu reverts the hboot.

HseloMein, would you mind editing the title of this thread (maybe add [S-ON] at the beginning) to indicate that it may affect the ability to get S-OFF in the future.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Is this fact or assumption on the HBOOT Update? I'm S-off and no damn way am I taking the update BUT I thought I'd ask just for general knowledge. Back on the 3D, while we did get the HBOOT update, at least if you were S-off before the HBOOT update you held on to that and weren't stuck like chuck with HBOOT 1.50.000, what a nightmare. We were able to downgrade the HBOOT as long as you were S-off but why go through all that pain. I guess the saving grace here is that we really do have a pretty good "official" Dev unlock that doensn't totally screw you like the half baked unlock we got from HTC for the EVO 3D.

I need to get the word out to any and all LTE owners I know to not take it before I can S-off their phones.... might be a busy rest of the week! :laugh:

I am in the same boat. Once I get a definite answer and a means to gain S-OFF without ruining my NFC I will let you know.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
Shouldn't your s-off retain after you run the OTA update? I was on an IRC earlier and the devs at unlimited.io were talking like you would still have s-off after you applied the update if you were s-off to begin with. Is this not true?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
The problem with taking an OTA is that you have to take all of it. You don't get to say "Actually, I don't wan the HBOOT, leave that out". While in theory you won't lose S-OFF, I feel it is good practice to maintain the HBOOT you S-OFF'd with. People with HBOOT 1.5 S-OFF (through a tricky process that involved actually using a bare wire) were having major issues with AOSP based ROMs.

My honest advice concerning OTAs? Just wait. Maybe it sucks to wait, but it's so much safer. Besides, all the updates we get from ROM developers more than makes up for a slight lag in OTA, right? ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
Understood. I just don't really have a need to or flash ROMs so it might be perfect for me. The only problem I could run into is not being able to use fastboot to flash a custom recovery. I had an issue on the hboot that came with the phone not flashing through the hboot so I had to flash the lazy panda hboot once I got s-off. If the new 1.15 hboot in the OTA update has the same issue, I might not be able to flash a custom recovery and once inside recovery flash a SU zip with binaries to keep root. I feel I may have to flash the lazy panda hboot (downgrade from 1.15) but I am not sure it is possible yet or if I want to risk it. Not sure exactly what I am going to do yet because I was having issues flashing through fastboot on the original hboot. Hopefully you can follow what I am thinking and it is not coming off as gibberish.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
I actually might be completely stupid right now. I'm just thinking, if you're already S-OFF, it should be a painless experience to simply fastboot flash the old HBOOT back onto your device. This is all in theory, and it might not even be possible, but it's worth asking people who know more about it than I do (LazyPanda team would be a good place to start)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
That is exactly what I was thinking. Since I am s-off I should be able to flash the other hboot that allows me to use fastboot usb to flash a custom recovery which allows me to flash a su zip with the binaries so I will still be rooted. :fingers-crossed: Not sure though. I might just wait until tomorrow night to try though so I don't have to spend all night getting back root in case I lose it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:
I'm going to edit the OP and title to reflect this is ONLY confirmed working for s-on, until more details surface.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
You may have the HTCDev unlock to gain the ability to flash anything but if it's like the Evo 3D, it shouldn't be a big deal. Oh the fun of the first OTA. Same old ****, new device.... smfh
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Just in case anyone in here wasn't following what I was doing over in the Lazy Panda thread:

Do not accept this OTA if you want to S-OFF in the future. I'm not saying a new exploit won't be found, or that Lazy Panda won't be updated to work. But I am saying I tried it, and it didn't.

In fact, this new HBOOT has also taken away the ability to flash radios and splash screens through recovery (and possibly kernels).

So as has been stated many times already in this thread - do NOT take the OTA!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dirtyfrank26:
I have taken the ota as well as rooted using this method. is it safe to use a ruu to go back to stock? or do we have to wait for the latest ruu that matches the rom on the phone? hope that makes sense. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
I might try that just to see if it works.

Moved to general as nothing is really being developed here and the op was updated to reflect some of Captain_Throwback's findings.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bcrsr:
I've read though several topics on a few forums looking for some direction. I have a brand new 4G LTE that has the OTA update already applied to it (out of box done at Best Buy). What are my options for simple permanent root? I'd rather not do anything that jeopardizes my ability to return the handset should it have any issues. From looking here on the forums, I have intentionally stayed away from the HTCdev unlock for this reason. I only want root access to remove bloatware and run a few root only apps. I am not interested in installing any new ROM's.

What recommendations do you folks have?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Your only option right now is HTCDev. You might want to contact the Lazy Panda folks (globatron specifically) on IRC to see if they can help update Lazy Panda to work on this latest update.

I did notice that the OTA is still flashable with the stock recovery on this latest update, so maybe there's hope for an exploit that way, I don't know.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
Ok. My wife took the OTA and now wants to root. I did the HTC Dev Unlock, but if I understand correctly, there is no root method for the OTA as of yet. Is this a correct statement?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:

If you unlocked, you can flash a custom recovery, and then SuperSU to get root.

With fastboot, you have to have the phone in fastboot mode, and use the "fastboot flash recovery" command from a command prompt. Is that what you did?

No, this device was updated then rooted.

What I did was HTC Dev unlock, then downloaded the recovery zip from Captain Throwback (a few post up) put that on my external sd card (sd2) go back to bootloader and updae the zip. Now you have recovery. Rebooted, removed the IMG zip off the sd card, go back to boot loader and boot to recovery, then flash the SU zip found in the OP. Done.

I'm confused about what you want to do. There's no RUU you can run at this point.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcwxguy:
just for the heck of it i went back to stock everything (except staying s-off), I ran the ota update when prompted. I ovbiously lost root and hboot was updated, but said "locked" with s-off. Couldnt flash anything as expected as i now had stock recovery. Decided to run RUU back to 1.13 and it flashed back to the 1.12 hboot I have also been able to s-off again using lazy panda
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
But you were S-OFF the whole time, correct? I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to tell us with your post.

Why would you have to use Lazy Panda again?

They make it trickier to flash with the "ship" hboot but you can still flash things. It just needs to packaged as a PJ75IMG.zip.

All I want to do Is upgrade the radio without doing the Panda thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcwxguy:
Hboot said S-OFF but it was ***locked*** by the update (im assuming?), so i had only stock recovery and i could not put a custom recovery on through hboot or anything else through hboot. Then to see if i could roll-back the hboot, i ran the ruu and it did
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
If all you want is the radio, you can flash that in recovery if you're unlocked.

You don't want to update HBOOT. But S-OFF or the OTA are the only ways you can get the full firmware update, and the OTA is a bad idea.

also, I can't seem to reboot into the recovery, why?

i would really like some input and if possible dumb it down for me, thank you
