So,is there any hope to get S-OFF for those of us with Win 7 64-bit?? I really don't want to mess around with all this virtual machine/ubuntu stuff.

Thank you!

Oh yeah. It's not that easy but if you pm me we'll talk. Did it last night for a friends new LTE. The second time is always easier. Don't give up. I never used Linux before last night and if I can do it anybody can. He's now s-off running PA
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Talal916:
Damn, I'm mad as hell at myself right now. My phone was flashed to MetroPCS and I went through this following each and everystep, and it wiped my Metro flash and is back to Sprint settings. Now I have to pay another $30 to get this flashed again. D:< Just a warning to anyone out there who's considering doing this and is flashed to Page Plus +, Boost Mobile, or MetroPCS... This WILL wipe your flash....F&%K!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] noXcape:
It clearly says that it flashes u back to sprint in the instructions :(

S-off with Ubuntu, zero problems. Follow directions exactly and you will have no trouble.

Thanks for the hard work from Team Unlimited!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lexiperplexi91:
I was so nervous doing it, because the phone decided it wasn't going to go to fastboot USB halfway through, had to reboot back into fastboot and connect USB, everything proceeded fine. Whew!

Pre-req: Balls of steel IS A MUST :D

THANK YOU FOR THIS S-OFF METHOD!!! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jerry43812:
Your program is listed here as a dev method to obtain S-OFF without using htcdev... but your instructions in Step 11 located on this page specifically direct the user to go to htcdev and obtain the Unlock_code.bin... so, my question is, does using YOUR program to get S-OFF, in essence, cause us to 'officially' void our warranty by using the htcdev site?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
Well Team Unlimited didn't write nor verify any of that information and it is incorrect. As you'll see on our website with our directions HTC Dev Unlock is *required* for all of our tools. Voiding your warranty is a misnomer.. yes "technically" you do, but there are ways listed on XDA to revert your S-ON and to relock your device so that it showed *locked* - however these steps are not supported by Team Unlimited nor can we advise on them.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DJHUSH:
do anyone have the Dirty Racun Installer link?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
Yeah... it's in the OP and in my signature... you have to go to our website for directions and downloads.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DJHUSH:
ok thanks!

is this the one you use Fastboot or an installer?

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

there should be a youtube video on how to do this... Im so lost when it comes to Fastboot....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
I highly suggest reading the directions posted on our website. If you have issues you may join our support # for help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Droiddinho:
I hope my question isn't redundant...

since Diry racun is going to delete all the data on the phone, any suggestions for backing up the phones internal memory? FYI I'm stock.

also, any success using dirty racun on 32 bit windows vista?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
If you're rooted - nandroid if not I have no suggestion. We only support the OS's listed on our instructions.. you're welcome to do or try whatever you want but we will not help you on an unsupported OS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
As Lady said, it isn't a supported system and they will not help you if something goes wrong. With that said, I used Win7 64bit, which is also an unsupported system, but it went absolutely flawlessly for me!! I didn't have to do anything manually or run anything twice, like some have stated. Ran through fine on the first attempt and obtained s-off for me just like the tool was made for Win7 64bit. As long as you follow the instructions exactly, and I mean EXACTLY, I don't think you will have a single issue! Just remember, do so at your own risk as Team Unlimited will not offer assistance if you mess up your phone...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schnergun:
so im switching back to the EVO LTE from the Samsung Note. Is this the latest up to date root for the phone? I appreciate the help!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodney32:
Depends on your Hboot version(1.15 & 1.19). Not a root method though. But it is a step in that direction
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drunkensunday:
Mind shareing? I cant get past this part.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Notorious:
Go to their # if you need support
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drunkensunday:
I did go there. I wrote all my current info, what I had done, I used pastebin showing what happen, etc. I didn't get any responses. But besides that if he already knows the solution because he went through the same thing, I just thought it would be easier to ask him. I really need a quick answer I use my phone for work and play and as of now it's useless.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flewpastu:
OK so Im S-On and rooted with hboot 1.19 running MeanRom 6.52 and latest TWRP but now have some extra time and just repaired a 32bit win 7 PC is there anything special i need to watch for or do or not do in these instructions or can i just make a nandroid and plug away

i started at the beginning and was searching and didnt see anything but my eye sight aint what it used to be either so i apologize in advance if this has been asked before
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
Read the directions and follow them.. just making a Nandroid won't work if you don't remove that backup from the device and SD card (as the instructions state we wipe the device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flewpastu:
OK thanks i usually keep a back up on the PC as well i just didnt know if i was still able to follow the procedure if already rooted but i think i will give this a run tomorrow night thank you again
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
Root / recovery / etc doesn't matter because we *completely wipe your device back to stock* .. that said people with SuperCID or FakeCID may encounter issues that cause bricks. This is discussed earlier in this thread but please revert your CID before attempting or accept that you may end up with a brick.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nelsonTituaAa:
I just wanted to say thanks again for this method!! my evo is s-off now :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flewpastu:
superCID or FakeCID ? .. i guess i got some reading to do .. i bought mine new and promised my wife id wait 2 weeks before messing with it and did all the updates while it was still locked and unrooted then ran regawmod and it works for now i'm just used to S-off with my other devices but ill read up on the superCID and fake cid

thanks for the heads up

OH ok carrier ID ... i should be ok havent messed with that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dandan2980:
i had too fastboot the ruu cause i messed up flashing a mod. i was on cm10. im on boot loader 1.19 after the ruu went thru i stayed s off just unlocked boot loader. my question is do i have to run dirty racoon again??? my bootloader still says soff but instead of it saying dirty racoon it says "jewel pvt ship s-off RL" i dont wanna flash a recovery if i have to run dirty racoon again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] laythy:
ones S-Off stays S-off. thts as far as i know

i just wanted to say thank you for the workaround, i got the linux files to work fine on a mac only the RabiesShot errored "cannot execute binary file" but i got to work around with it and got it to work after that. if you guys want to i can post the reworked rabiesshot file that worked on mac.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 10-Dee-Q:
hi, im on mac book pro

and i have windows 7 x64 installed on another partition

is there anyway i can perform this on my machine ?

i've thinking about installin the ubuntu on flash disk and boot from there

but mac doesnt have BIOS

so what should i do ?

thank you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ashkerlon:
after racun said was successful, i noticed that my phone was not wiped. I had gotten the error 90 thing and had to reflash the ruu, but after running RabiesShot and it saying was successful, I still have all my folders on my device. Was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I used the livecd method and was 1.19 hboot. Currently on bootloader is does say "DirtyRacun" with s-off. But im guessing i shouldnt concern myself since im s-off?

Hope this is not off topic:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
This means you did not follow the directions successfully. No you shouldn't concern yourself at this point but next time I highly suggest not proceeding past a required step for any of our tools unless you're successful.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chrislvb:
After reading through this thread I understand the rules. I know what OS's are supported, and I know that people get positive results with XP and 64 bit OS, but I would like to follow the instructions and make sure to do it right and have the ability to get support from the IRC #. I do not have windows 7, still on XP, so I would probably be best to create a live cd for unbuntu. If I do this, seeing that I have no experience, can I get step by step help in IRC #, or is it better to research the basics first? Don't want to waste anyone elses valuable time, and definitely don't want to cause any problems for the members of team unlimited. So I want to ask first before starting. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
We are happy to provide step by step directions with regards to our tools. We will not provide "how to use" Ubuntu training. I highly suggest you look at how to "cd" (change directories) and how to use terminal in Ubuntu. If you have those basic items in your back pocket you will be able to follow the directions on the website for Ubuntu (see the footnotes for Linux with *'s and the item above step 1). If you get stuck somewhere we are happy to help you as we're available in our support #.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flewpastu:
you guys/gals rock ... steps were laid out perfectly i cant thank you enough.. i think the only thi would different next time is register in advance with HTC ... that was my only delay

one question i have is i have got TWRP reinstalled and superuser .. can i use one of my back ups or will there be a clash ,, i'm assuming i can restore from a back up as all i did was attain S-off but just thought id ask

thank you again

Nevermind restore went fine and i now have a new respect for racuns
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chrislvb:
Thank you for this tool. I just fed the racun my leftovers and I am s-off finally.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mgianni19:
I've been reading this thread for a few weeks now and I feel as though I have enough balls to do this, lmao. For those who have done it, how simple was it? My question is, why do I have to uninstall the drivers that I already have on my computer just to reinstall them?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodney32:
Easy enough. I believe the driver thing has to do with HTC Sync. Be sure to disable your anti-virus and firewall, that caused me huge problems in the past.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chrislvb:
I really don't know why the driver download is needed, but I took the approach of better safe than sorry and followed the instructions to the letter and it worked perfectly. The only issue I had was I didn't download the RUU before I started, so I had to stop and wait for that to download. I would recommend having it downloaded in advance of starting to save time, but if you follow the instructions exactly, it is a very easy process to do. It can get a little nerve wracking in the waiting periods while it does it's thing, but I got it done.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
Super SUPER simple and easy!!!! Team Unlimited have made an incredibly valuable tool!!! I ran this on Win7 64bit and didn't have to do anything manually or do anything twice!

For the driver question, this is just to assure everyone who's running this tool, that they will have the correct driver installed. Some may have a different driver or an older driver. It's very simple to uninstall all the current drivers and HTC Sync from your computer, and then install the correct drivers that Team Unlimited provide.

Has anyone been able to do this on a Mac, running Ubuntu Live CD (from thumb drive or CD)? I'm having trouble finding a friend with a Win 7 32bit machine. I have a friend with a 64bit machine. :o\
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
As long as your mac has USB 2.0 ports and you use the liveCD (CD NOT USB) then you shouldn't have issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chewieez:
AWESOME! Thank you for the very fast response LadyX! I'll make sure to use the CD option. (I'm assuming a DVD is ok, if that's what Ubuntu requires.)

I may tackle this tonight or this weekend... gotta get prepped for Jelly Bean roms. ;o)

Thanks again!

You know, this works perfectly well in Windows 7 Pro x64 (AMD Athlon II X2 260 - 3.2GHz, 4GB DDR3, and eVGA GeForce GTX560)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igotlostintampa:
I would also like to point out...

That this worked perfectly for me on my 64bit windows 7 as well.

Took the risk today so i could get the new update without loosing root, it went through perfectly.

Just saying, i know it wasnt tested, but this worked for me on my machine. However, i must say i couldnt get it working on my version of windows 8 pro with media center 64bit.

OS: windows 7 home premium 64bit

cpu: Quad core I7 overclocked 3.9ghz 10M L8C

ram: 16gB high quality RAM

gfx: dual ati7770 graphics cards

did not encounter any error throughout the process.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Delakit:
I've searched and found no answers so here is my last hope since I don't even know how to use IRC. I followed all of the instructions for DirtyRacun and when I ran the RabiesShot, got through to the second 'Yes', and hit enter... I got a message saying the connection test failed. Not quite sure what happened. Pretty sure I did everything to a T but then again this would be working. Lol... Help?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ahecht:
Does this work with the new 2.09.0000 HBOOT?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
Only people that accepted the OTA or Updated their phone manually, CHOOSING to install the new hboot, have that hboot.... It may or may not work on the latest hboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cardboardbox:
I got the OTA update notice today to upgrade to JB. I did the DirtyRacun S-OFF when it first came out and I'm wondering if I should accept the OTA update or not. I'm guessing not but I'm excited to update! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
It's clear you haven't read through this thread - it MAY work in other OS's but we DO NOT SUPPORT anything other than what is listed AND IT MAY CAUSE BRICKS. You want to take the risk? Feel free. Redundant posting about "it working in 64bit" is getting a bit old.

Please click on the support link in my signature and join our IRC # so that we can help you.

It would be very wise not to, but you're welcome to do what you'd like. We do not yet have an exploit for the newest release so if you lose S-OFF you may be without it for a while.

If we are already rooted with twrp, should we flash a stock recovery first?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
You can but you do not need to. The RUU step will wipe everything from your device - root, recovery, etc - so be sure you're following step 1 and backing everything up off your device. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
Let me be clear here - HBOOT 1.12, 1.15 and 1.19 are ALL supported by the DirtyRacun tool. I'm not sure exactly what you're saying by "important enough for you to post in a thread about it" - we do post.. and I do update this post. We do not authorize people who're not on our team to post information about our tools, because often times the information is incorrect and quickly out of date.

Quick Question

I am on 1.15 Hboot, Rooted but S-ON.

If I do a nandroid then backup the SD Card to the PC then run this s-off once I am back up and running can I restore my nandroid and basically be back where I started from, but with S-OFF?

I am going to do it either way, was just curious if this will work or not..

really appreciate all the work you guys and gals do for this phone..

I need to get the new radios so I figured now was as good a time as ever also not to mention the upgrade to JellyBean coming soon, figured it's time to be s-off.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mybikegoes200:
First off - thank you LadyX & Team Unlimited -

I'm on HBOOT 1.19, rooted, S-On. I'm trying to figure out if I can run the ODEX version of the official JB thats in the forums (that says it works using a S-ON installer by xHausx) straight from where I'm already at - or if it'd be advisable to run your tool to S-OFF then install the official JB. I appreciate any help.

PS... Programmer + motorcycle enthusiast = stuff of dreams.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zmag:
Hi there!

I'm currently on HBoot 1.12 (Never attempted LazyPanda - didn't want to brick device)

Used Regaw-Mod's unlock method (HTC Dev Unlocked)

TWRP is installed and working.

1.13.651.1

Windows XP Pro (SP3) x86 (32 bit I believe)

---

My question is, I only want to really install a new rom (mainly the CM11 nightlies) - do I need to bother with this? S-OFF is so I can upgrade radios, correct? But if I want to install a new rom & kernel, I should be fine with HBoot v1.12... right?

Any answers & insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! - zmag

PS: I may do it, has anyone had luck with using this on Win XP 32 bit?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Okay last warning for ALL here. Next off topic comment is not going to like the end result.

Let me re-iterate that this is NOT a thread to come in and discuss who or why one has X Hboot or anything of that nature.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigKenW:
Great work team! I am now DirtyRacun S-OFF. Great work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
Yes, if all you want to do is install roms then s-on will suffice. That said, s-off is still the best way to go in my opinion, as some roms don't like running on older software, and upgrading when you're s-on is a long process and will wipe everything. Also, with JB here, I'd imagine that most people would like to be on the latest radio/software, and most roms will probably list being on the latest software as a requirement! Though some roms may work just fine even if you're on the old software, you may(and probably will) have problems. Most people's first response to your issue will be to make sure you're on the latest software, so you might as well do it now, while you still have the oppurtunity! My opinion is, most people on XDA like playing with their phones enough to where I feel like s-off is almost a must for most of us. While Win XP is NOT SUPPORTED, some have had success using it. That said, just because some have had success, does NOT mean that all will!! Do so at your own risk, and don't ask them for help if something goes wrong. They will happily assist you if you're using a supported system, but a non-supported system is a different story, as their tool was not designed to run on it. Any one can run a LiveCD on a non-supported system though, as the Team DOES support a Ubuntu LiveCD(assuming your LiveCD meets the requirements listed In the OP) . Good luck with whatever you decide, and I hope I could be of some assistance and answer some of your questions!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zmag:
Let's do this! (And I appreciate your help!)

stanglifemike, thank you so much for your reply and the fact you're willing to help me through this process makes me feel very comfortable. I have obtained S-OFF on my OG Evo (but that was a 1-click method from UnrEVOked back then)

I am totally willing to download/install the proper Ubuntu LiveCD to obtain S-OFF that way. I don't take any chances when it comes to my phone. I like to know exactly what I'm doing before I attempt

anything

...

So, I'm ready to get started as soon as you have some free time. Please PM me your IM screenname of choice. Preferably one I can use on my other Galaxy S2 so we can chat directly whilst going through the process. (As I won't be able to chat via my Evo or PC when doing this.) If you have an IM app of choice, I will download/install it to my GS2. Even IRC is fine. (I'd just like to talk directly as opposed to exchanging posts via a forum)

Thanks in advance! - zmag

I just wanted to say a HUGE THANKS to Team Unlimited! I successfully ran DirtyRacun tonight with some help from your IRC channel. I'm now S-OFF and have my custom recovery loaded, SU loaded and am in the process of getting my backup restored. Thank you, Thank you!

(I ran the process on a Macbook running a Ubuntu LiveCD (dvd) and didn't have any trouble. I used a blank 2gig SD card, and in the end, my internal storage was not wiped, which was nice. I did make a backup of it just in case, (per the instructions) but it turned out I didn't need to restore it. )
