+100000000000000000000000000!!!!!!!

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

Well the white Evo LTE I bought yesterday had the 1.15 hboot on it, was so happy it wasn't already on JB when I took it out of the box! Though I guess it wouldn't have mattered since the Team Unlimited masterminds already cracked the JB hboot!!! Anyway, it was on 1.15, which is what my black Evo LTE is, so I already had all of the needed files downloaded from when the Racun got after my black Evo LTE. Ran Dirty Racun yesterday on my 64bit Win 7 laptop and once again achieved s-off on first try!! Not a single issue or hiccup along the way!! I had unlocked, s-off, root, TWRP, and MeanBean on it in no time!! It's amazing how fast the whole process was! I guess it being the second time I had fed the Racun everything went a bit quicker, and since I already had all the files for hboot 1.15 downloaded, that helped speed up the process too! Big thanks again to Team Unlimited!! I'm still amazed by how fast you guys were at cracking the new hboot!! You all are seriously the reason why the development community for the Evo LTE is where it is today!! Cracking the 2.09 hboot is going to make the lives of every Evo LTE owner sooooo much easier!!!

Now I just wish XDA still had the Marketplace forum to sell my black Evo LTE with s-off!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quetzalcoatl:
Im on H-boot 2.09.

If I've already unlocked through the htc dev website can i still gain S-off?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Don't ask questions in here you'll get stoned to death.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quetzalcoatl:
Woops.

They helped me out on IRC though.

Good people!

Hboot 1.15 Successfully S-off in Windows 7 x64 Enterprise.

:good:

Thanx for all your Hard Work Guys!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] plaidcounty:
According to what I've read, the instructions will relock the phone so you can get s-off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kwdan:
I am on hboot 1.2 and not sure how to update hboot. i have to be s-off to upgrade hboot, but i can't s-off without correct hboot.

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

I have never unlocked my phone.I'm on hboot 1.2 rooted with zedomax method. i can't figure out how to upgrade my hboot...I have to be s-off to upgrade my hboot, but i cant s-off because i'm on the wrong hboot. how do I get around this? do I have to take sprints ota and then run the tool?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Just run any of the RUUs from the instructions. It doesn't matter which one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kwdan:
Ok.. Thanks...

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

That is what is confusing me. in the instructions on the page on the left..it says "You must be dirtyracun s-off to use any of these hboots"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
You are not installing a hboot you are running an ruu. Relock and run the ruu

LtEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kwdan:
I downloaded the 2.13 ruu. I'm still factory locked so i'm going to run the Ruu. now I have to get a different memory card. thanks for your help so far. I'm really trying not to brick my phone. I just spent 4hrs trying to install the sdk and adb.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Wow you sound more unsure of what your doing than I am and I'm too scared I'm going to brick my phone. Good luck!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kwdan:
I'm trying to make sure I fully understand directions. in step 4 it says "for windows don't unzip, but step 6 says "Open cmd from your unzipped DirtyRacun files, type:

fastboot oem lock"

step 7 says".Download the RUU for your current HBOOT and put it in your DirtyRacun folder:

This step is REQUIRED even if you are on Stock RUU already"

if I didn't unzip it, how do I put ruu in it? just copy\paste?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bennyboy78:
nvm
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] romeoh:
hi guys, i was wondering about step No.9 which says " If you get the following after you run RUU: "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)"..... what they mean by image? is it the boot image or something else? and where i get it from?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
I highly suggest you read the WHOLE step:

If you get the following after you run RUU: "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)" then you need to rerun the fastboot flash zip RUU.zip command again. Press the up arrow and enter.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quetzalcoatl:
I bricked mine at first because I didnt read the instructions lol The part about using usb2 ports and not usb3 woops
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Well seeing how I am less than a year from an upgrade and if this year flys by like 2012 did ill have a different phone in hand soon enough so taking the chance to brick isn't very smart.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quetzalcoatl:
What's your OS?

I unbricked in less than 5 minutes, but Im pretty used to linux/terminal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I have a windows 7 x64 laptop and am quite confused with that Ubuntu software and am not completely comfortable with terminal and cmd. I have locked and ran the RUU to take the JB OTA and unlocked and rooted again with Qbking77's tutorial videos but outside of that not too comfortable. If there was a step-by-step video like Qbking does on DirtyRacun I may have done this a while ago.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] js417:
d#$$ i wish theydid support 64 bit w7
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
It's not their choice, the drivers needed don't support 64 bit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] js417:
I see, I was able to obtain s off with lazy panda with my phone and now that my wife has one its a different method

I guess I might have to do a lot more reading
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bennyboy78:
wooo! got this done a few hours ago. now i am 2.09 hboot s-off. Team unlimited FTW!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quetzalcoatl:
Liveboot Ubuntu 64bit and install the 32bit libs. Takes like 2 minutes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
Lazy panda was so easy.. all I did was put usb debugging on and ran the tool and thats it.. this seems a lot diff
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
Why would you bother downloading and using the WRONG version of Ubuntu that IS NOT supported by the team when you can download and use the RIGHT version that IS supported by the team?

It takes less than 2 mins to follow directions and will save you a lot of hassle.

I have made this clear everywhere in this thread and on the website - 64BIT is NOT and will NEVER be supported!

If you use the 64bit version and you brick your phone WE WILL NOT HELP YOU RECOVER YOUR PHONE.

Feel free to not follow my clear and concise directions at your own risk.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
S-off on hBoot 2.09 successfull!!!!!!!

Just did s-off with hboot 2.09! Thank you LadyX and Team Unlimited!!! I used Ubuntu 12.10 32 bit on a bootable USB drive. lol! It was a little tricky at the end because RabiesShot was complaining about my 32gb card. Soooo I ripped the 8gb out of my OG EVO and used that. All was well after this! Having never before used Ubuntu I can say I'm pretty impressed with it! I might keep it around! :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dadanmakassar:
successful s-off

Thank you LadyX & Team Unlimited...... now s-off on Hboot 2.09 successful:fingers-crossed:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TMartin:
May I ask why you choose to only support 32-bit? Most machines are 64-bit now-a-days which means most people would choose a 64-bit OS. 64-bit is also the preferred (almost required) OS to build from source.

Just curious.

Thanks for all the hard work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
Hey bud, I've asked this before, it is because they simply chose not to, they don't use them in testing so no support is given. Imo its a bad call on their part but hell they provide us with some awesome stuff and I can't complain about what they do!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ogretech:
Another happy ending! (2.09)

Just thought I'd report a successful S-OFF result coming with HBOOT 2.09.

I followed the directions exactly (on Win32) and did have the error reported in step 9. I repeated as directed and all proceeded well.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
If you read the first 2-3 pages, you will see why 64 bit will never be supported.

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's not their fault....read the first 2-3 pages.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
s-off achieved on 2.09, but not without a couple minor issues. I'm on 32 bit 12.04 Ubuntu. Everything proceeded normally, got the error in step 9 as expected: second RUU flash went through fine, booting, enabled USB debigging. The problem occurred when I executed the sudo ./RabiesShot command. It rebooted once to the bootloader but the second time it rebooted and waited for ADB, the phone started to boot, got to the white HTC screen, and then turned off. The 60 second timer elapsed and I got the error: unable to reboot phone and it told me to reboot manually. I rebooted it manually and then ran RabiesShot a second time and it appeared to pick up where it left off. It did a couple steps like searching for competition and searching for predators but then it said something about running behind the doghouse and then displayed "Quit...".

I then started over from scratch, relocking, doing the RUU, unlocking, setting USB debugging, all the same steps as before. Again the phone began to reboot on that second reboot (the one after the first reboot to bootloader) and turned off. This time when the counter hit about 30 seconds and the phone showed no life, I reached over and hit the power button manually and the phone started up. Then it "caught" and went to "Test 2.1" and went all the way to the end. The racun went through the cat door, raided the fridge, escaped, and s-off achieved. So in the end, it worked but not without me having to reboot manually while the countdown timer was running. Letting the timer expire and then rebooting and starting RabiesShot a second time was a fail for me.

Just reporting this in case I'm not the only one.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
Guys, read the op AND the posts in this thread before you make incorrect accusations!! It is NOT because they choose not to support and/or test 64 bit systems!!! The drivers needed to perform this task do NOT support 64 bit systems!! Has nothing to do with Team Unlimited not testing on 64 bit or not wanting to support 64 bit, simply that the needed drivers DO NOT WORKS on 64 bit systems!!! Very Simple!!

That said, though unsupported, many people have had success running Dirty Racun on 64 bit Win 7 machines! I have successfully gotten s-off on both of my Evo LTEs using my 64 bit Win7 HP laptop. Even though many people have had success using Win7 64 bit, it is unsupported and they will not help you(here, or their IRC channel which is where users should be asking for support) if something goes wrong during the process! It is up to the user with what they choose to do with the supplied tools! You may or may not have success, but you will not be assisted if you choose to use an unsupported system!!

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

Congrats Mikey!!!!!! Glad to know the developer of the best ROM for the Evo LTE is now s-off!!!! As happy as I am for you, I'm sure you are even happier!!! The s-off life is SOOO much better and easier for everyone and everything they do(as I'm sure you know and have been s-off on previous devices)!!! Team Unlimited is "da bomb" lol :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Yeah man! You can say that again! I couldn't wait to get this done today! HTC has really screwed the s-on crowd and made their s-on/unlock a real pain to deal with now. s-off is the only way to go now with all the problems they brought back by "fixing" the system partition so you can no longer write to it with the kernel running. I know there's a fix thanks to flar2 and insmod but still, I hope everyone goes s-off as the "s" now stands for "screwed".

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quetzalcoatl:
I used 64bit Ubuntu with 32 bit libs and everything went well except for the fact I used USB 3.0 ports instead of 2.0 (resulted in a brick that was fixed in under 2 minutes) and then s-offed successfully after using a 2.0 USB port.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Erythros:
Success on 2.09

Thank you Racun!!!! you ate all my food but I am finally S-off on 2.09.

Using Ubuntu 12.10 LiveCD 32-bit version, Like MikeyXDA, I got the error on Step 9 and actually missed seeing the error. I got to Step 11 , unlocked the phone, and while the terminal told me OK the phone was unresponsive indicating that I missed something, and looking back i clearly did, so I backed up to Step 6 ,relocked the phone, got the error again on Step 9, but this time reflashed the RUU and this time it went through. No issues until RabiesShot where it failed to initiate a reboot after getting into the bootloader. Rebooted the phone, re-ran RabiesShot and SUCCESS!!!!

Thank You Team Unlimited!!!! :laugh:

I also have a 64-bit windows machine, but how friggin hard is it to burn a Ubuntu CD then boot into it. For Christs sake Windows has a built in ISO burner that burns the disc in about 1 minute on today's 64-bit machines. The instructions could not have been easier. The tool works great. Just be thankful.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tgearman:
Well said, Eythros, well said. A little gratitude goes a long way. UnlimitedIO gets all my love.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thatotherguy..:
Can anybody help me I'm stuck at the is that a corndog and then the dots just keep going and never stops I've done what everybody here says but it just don't finish

I'm on 2.09
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tgearman:
^^This^^

Go to the source, Grasshopper. Get help from the good people that created the tool - it's your best resource.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thatotherguy..:
You use a 8gb sd card? I could never get passed the is that a corndog? The dots never stoped

And you using Windows?

I just tried to run dirtyracun...i am on hboot 1.2, i selected hboot 2.09 ruu. I ran : fastboot oem lock= already locked

fastboot erase cache= okay

fastboot oem rebootruu= okay

fastboot flashC:\Users\Ashley D\Desktop\RabiesShot_WIN>

C:\Users\Ashley D\Desktop\RabiesShot_WIN>fastboot flash zip Ruu.zip

sending 'zip' (659905 KB)... OKAY

writing 'zip'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

zip Ruu=
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
Get help from irc!!! Easily fixable though no sweat
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kwdan:
I tried that...they kicked me off so fast. I have my hboot inside my unzipped racun folder
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thicklizard:
It doesn't say you sent the unlock token steps 11.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kwdan:
I havent gotten that far...thats step 11, i'm on step 8. i don't have an md5 checker on my computer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thicklizard:
Did your hboot change? If not I would download the 1.15 ruu
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
If you were kicked off it was either for being disrespectful to the people trying to help you or by not following directions.

If you want help I HIGHLY suggest being respectful to myself and the team that built these tools.

That said, since it's unclear from your nick exactly who you were on IRC. IF you want support, please join the support #, be respectful and follow the directions we give you to resolve your issues.

Your error message is fixable - you are not following the directions listed on the website which is why you are getting that error.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kwdan:
t..

thank you for your reply. i was not being ....I was not typing fast enough. I was told to copy/past(pastbin)..I had to learn how to do that in cmd.

I redownloaded the hboot and I'm going to try again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
You should not be downloading a HBOOT from our website. HBOOT files will not get you S-OFF.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kwdan:
i think I see what I did wrong...I downloaded the hboot from the far right of the page instead of the one directly under list.

after htc unlock...do i turn phone back on and select usb debugging and leave phone on then run rabies shot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
J/s but in order to utilize the usb debugging feature your phone has to be on, otherwise its just fastboot or adb commands
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kwdan:
Okay... Thanks for the reply. I tried again and this time it said. Something like Remote signature not allowed. So I checked to see if I was sharing the folder it was in(and I was). I can't get past the ruu install and I don't type fast enough for the IRC channel. I'm. On Windows 7 ultimate 32bit. I tried for 4hrs yesterday, i'm going to try again when I get off work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
And winmd5 is a great md5 checker free
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Why don't you try a different RUU? Perhaps the 2.13 would work better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kwdan:
I tried all 3. The oldest one seemed to do more, but it failed also. I'm thinking it has something to do with the folder and being an administrator. I'm wondering if windows is adding an extension at the end(Ruuzip.zip)? I'm going to download it on my phone then transfer to computer to see if that helps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
Read pm, and for that matter just right-click the name and open properties on computer it'll show name and file extension separate
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Why not use Ubuntu? It's easy to burn a live cd or bootable usb. I used it. I had NO knowledge of Linux nor Ubuntu. zero. none. and I was able to follow the instructions and s-off. you don't have to install ANYTHING on your computer. it all runs on the cd/usb drive. then when you're done? format the usb drive or throw away the cd. it really isn't hard man.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thatotherguy..:
Yea your best bet is unbuntu easy as hell

Just make sure you have a 8gb sd I had to have one wouldn't work on a 4gb one
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kwdan:
I just bought some dvd's... Can I use that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Verdammt:
This is good advice. I did a dual boot with Ubuntu and it was a no go. I burned a DVD, ran off the DVD and everything worked like a charm.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
I would suggest you log onto their IRC channel listed in the OP. You seem to be very new at this and the OP LadyX has stated SEVERAL times you should not get advice from people in this thread (including me!). You have a very real chance at bricking your phone if you do something incorrectly. So...go to the pros man! Don't ask us!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
I believe kwdan is s-off now he had a bad RUU download
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
That's cool. It still doesn't invalidate what LadyX stated. They are the best people to help with issues regarding the tool they designed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
Exactly, I believe that 100%. If someone asks me for help I will first direct them there if they insist on me helping them I will not hesitate to try my best.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aptorrent:
Thank you! Truly a remarkable effort first finding the exploit and second putting such a detailed instruction set.

Finally had the time and courage to go S-OFF. The steps on unlimited.io were very precise. Used Ubuntu 12.04 (32-bit) live-USB.

Had a minor scare after the step "Is that a corn dog?". The dots(progress indicator) would not stop for more than 5 minutes, and I was sure I had a brick on my hand. Hell, I even was planning to chat with a sprint rep but once attached the device in windows and saw the QHSUSB_DLOAD. It was time for RacunHunter!!

Was back on track for the Racun to sneak back in! S-OFF finally! Thanks again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Boatiy:
Thank you so much team unlimited, made this very easy. Instructions are very clear and were easy to follow. Just had to search what Fastboot was.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] onlybob:
I was very surprised how hungry those racuns were. They took my corndog!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kwdan:
Hello all...you are correct for saying "go to the manufacture" and that" I am new to this". I thank everyone for their efforts on the tool and for making it available to newcomers like me. I did the one click root methods on my og evo and my 3d. That made me want to learn more...I'm now better at fast boot and ADB. I had a generous member loan me 2hrs of his time and show me more...I can not thank him enough for his patience and help.

Thanks to all that tried to help me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
I think I need to clarify here. It's fine if you want to take responsibility if your phone bricks. But I was only trying to save you from bricking your phone and having him being responsible for you misunderstanding some instructions he gave you.

There's nothing wrong with being new however when we take into account you can ruin a 600 dollar phone it's best to go to the source just like LadyX said.

In short there's a huge difference between flashing a ROM and changing your hboot. While I am more than comfortable to provide information on the former the latter is far more dangerous. I would never instruct anyone on how to go s-off simply because I wouldn't want the responsibility or the guilt should something go wrong.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shadowhacker27:
It's funny cause I just bricked my phone. Responsibility is on me because I never read on the instructions if 64bit windows was or not supported. Anyway, brb...

EDIT: nvm, I was just not following the procedure. When I saw the HTC logo on the black screen, I manually rebooted the phone thinking that it should have gone to bootloader automatically. Fortunately something told me to just follow the steps and now I am on track. I also didn't see the "relocked" status before.

Not for the faint of heart.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
Like I said before I help where I can, dont lecture me because I I'm willing to help people. I always try to point them in the developers direction first, and also make them aware that because they dont wanna get help from them I'm not responsible if something goes wrong. I see no harm in explaining how tools work like adb, fastboot, md5sums, bootloaders, hboots, etc. I never once explain how this tool works. Like most of the community here, I'm just trying to help. We are all human and make errors, assumptions, and have our own ideas... Why criticize based on that? I feel we all need to learn to accept each other's faults and build on it. We would be surprised at how many intelligent people are here that just don't have the information that can be used. Thank you though,
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
I'm not lecturing you. You bring that idea to the table yourself. I really don't care what YOU in particular do. I however AM trying to help people by stating exactly what LadyX stated in the OP. Do not follow the advice or directions of people in this thread (including myself!). DO log on to their IRC channel and get help from them. They designed this tool.

And because I do care about what may happen to someone new's phone (the guy who thought he bricked his phone just above is a prime example) I will NEVER give them advice on s-off. ever. Again you do whatever you want. I really don't care. I do care about the novice who might be inclined to disregard the instructions in the OP. It's there for a reason and you know it. So that being said I'm all done with this back and forth with you and whatever hurt feelings you might possess. It has nothing to do with me. Feel free to rant or "have the last word". I'm done. I made my (and LadyX's) point very clear: Follow the advice of others on s-off AT YOUR OWN RISK.

And just to be sure this conversation ends you have the honor of being the first person I've ever ignored on XDA, and I've been here 5 years. :rolleyes:
