[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
As I told you in our support channel Windows support has been completely dropped. Coming into our thread and asking for the same thing is disrespectful. You're blatantly asking for stolen information.

Important News:

Due to recent issues with people reposting our tools and embedding them into their own kits we would like to make it very clear to all of our users. We DO NOT authorize any dev use of our tools within other kits or tools.

The ONLY place that you should look for instructions, or support with our tools is this website. We have seen quite a few XDA threads, htcevohacks.com walk-throughs, and other guides that link to old files or give bad instructions. We have also seen a LOT of phones stuck in an unusable state, unbootable or unable to S-OFF when following these unauthorized instructions.

We want you to have a successful S-OFF experience so please steer clear of these and stick to the instructions on our website only!

Update regarding Windows versions of our tools:

Team Unlimited has decided to drop all support for the Windows OS. This is due to massive amounts of trolling on forums and in our support channel as well as flaming us for our decision to not support Windows 8 or any version of Windows 64bit.

We attempted to explain to anyone who had questions why this was not supported - drivers are unreliable, percentage of risk for bricking was too high, and just general complications - but we were greeted with people who demanded support and others that came into our support # to tell us that "clearly we didn't test 64bit because it works" and "wanted to let us know that we could support 64bit."

We want to make it clear that we make and support these tools with our free time, for free, for you - our users. We made a decision to provide clear and concise directions and a live support channel. We can revoke all or part of this at any time and will should people become abusive to our team members.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] budeone:
Not my intention, I assure you. I have never had an issue with using this program or the drivers.

I can not speak for other people and what they have said about drivers and such. I was not asking for "support" as I am able to do it myself and can probably do 95% by memory but I would rather have been 100% spot on so I dont run into problems.

I am just going to have to take his phone home when I havethe ability to use my home system and live cd to do it the new way.

Anyways, you guys really do rock and have helped so many of my co-workers phones..

I really do thank you and your team.

Even just sent you guys a donation.

I don't understand this. Open cmd from your unzipped DirtyRacun files, type:fastboot oem lock"

What do I do at this point. I am on Step 11 and on step 8 in HTCDev.com

I am in the support channel right now, just waiting on a dev to log on. But i figured i would give it a shot on here to see if anyone else had this issue :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ahecht:
Oh, this makes my head hurt. First you are trying to run sudo in windows, then you try to run an adb shell inside an adb shell.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Curb71:
Just used it. had a few mistakes but when I would reread each step 471 times I actually understood and the DirtyRacun worked!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alanthemanofchicago:
Personal advice: save yourself some typing and run sudo -s first and then just continue as root
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Dirty racun supports your HBOOT. Check out both of their websites...

And if you need help both of their irc channels are very useful. You will get faster and more accurate help there.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stovo06:
I hate to flame, but that is exactly what I'm doing...

I s-off'd my 1st evo lte using dirty racun and Ubuntu. My phone IMMEDIATELY began lagging and ultimately became a 'brick' within 3 days. Did everything exactly as instructed. But that isn't my issue.

When I went to IRC for assistance, I was greeted (by LadyX) coldly, rudely, told it was "user error", and then ignored.

My friend at Sprint got me a replacement so I wasn't angry about my phone. Just the unprofessional attitude and being treated with such incredible disrespect baffles me.

In the end I still used dirty racun (wasn't many options then) on Windows XP.

So I ran across this thread today and just wanted say to the wonderful LadyX..

Thank you so much for NOT helping. I realize that you are not paid and do this on your own time, but from my experience, you should get off the support line. I'm sure I'll be reprimanded for this, and/or this post be deleted, but that was the worst 'support' I've ever had.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robisgnarly:
I know they dont offically support USB 3.0...... however both my computers now only have 3.0 and was curious if anyone has tried and successfully s-off'd with usb 3.0.

thank you in advance

love you all :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Hate to be honest but considering your phone was the only one to melt after 3 days, there had to be some type of user/mechanical error.... :what:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bighuta:
So I'm kinda stuck.

I've done all the steps up to the rabies shot step and even tried manually booting/rebooting etc.

I seem to always be stuck on Test 2.1, after it reboots to adb. Everytime it tries to reboot to adb, it says "Booting Failed (2)"

I've also tried doing the steps all over again and I noticed that when I try to relock the OEM lock, it says it's already locked. I was quite sure I unlocked the bootloader in the steps required, I even went to do it again after reflashing the RUU again. Both times it says RELOCKED in the bootloader after I unlock the bootloader and start the RabiesShot.

Am I missing a step???

TYIA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stovo06:
I'd agree with you if it was someone else.

Immediately after s-off, extreme lag. I researched every other option. Asked many devs. Only other option is defect.

Like I said, simply unprofessional.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
The last step of the unlocking process is only for if you want to relock the device. Don't do the last step (fastboot oem lock) if you want the device to be unlocked so you can proceed with this process. That command, if you run it, relocks the device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] untz1456:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Does racun work with 3.16?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
Yes, but it'll take you through the steps where you'll have to RUU back down to 3.15.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lolanerd:
When they say 2 gb to 16 gb, is it Ok if my 2 gb sd card actually has 1.83 gb of storage space? Also, at which point on THESE instructions will I actually be s-off, because I wanna get s-off from racun but I wanna root a different way.

MicroSD-card error

I'm on the very last step of running DirtyRacun, and this is the error I get:

MicroSD-card is not compatible with DirtyRacun.
Your SD-card must be 2G - 16G. Smaller or larger is not supported.

I am using a Transcend 16GB class 6 MicroSD card. I tried unmounting and erasing the card through android, then remounting, and got the same error.

I tried posting in the IRC room, but got no response.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoClemency:
Yes, can you post a link to the thread you are talking about. Thanks.

In addition, I'm currently on step 11 on Racun S-Off method, and I can't get any further. I can't download the fastboot binary for linux. Any clarification, advice or if anyone has this file, please let me know?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Icculus574:
I had to try 3 different SD cards from 3 different brands within the compatible size range before I got one that worked with it. The person helping me from their team said they'd had issues with some cards in the size range and they weren't able to pin down what it was.

Just try another card if you have one that's not the same brand/size.

Is there any way to do this process without HTCdev unlocking? I don't have insurance with Sprint, so I need HTC's warranty if something goes wrong with my phone. Can you relock from HTCdev at any point?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
No. It's a REQUIREMENT of the process. You are welcome to do a search for how to relock so that HTC can't tell that you've unlocked. That is a process that Team Unlimited doesn't support and cannot advise in and is Off Topic for this thread.

Stuck on the 'fastboot flash zip [path to zip]' part...what should I put for path to zip?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LadyX:
You should put the path to the zip.. which if you followed the directions you should be able to type the following:

fastboot flash zip RUU(tab)

Hitting tab will auto complete for you. If it doesn't you didn't put the file in the correct folder or are missing another step of the directions.

P.S. Even the screenshot in the OP is of HBOOT 2.09.

can anyone help?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Seems to be a common problem with 8.1. You can either downgrade to Windows 8 or follow the instructions in the guide linked below. Also, seeing you're on Hboot 2.18 your device must be the HTC EVO 4G. This forum is for the HTC EVO 4G LTE.

I suggest you read the first post in the thread linked below:

I'd also like to point out that there are easier methods to gain S-off for this particular device. S-off isn't necessary for the EVO LTE but it makes it easier to deal with if you really like to tinker with your phone. Hit the top link in my sig for more info, as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] edufur:
While I appreciate your assistance here, that link doesn't answer my question. I know what S-OFF is. What I don't know, is what the difference between HTC's unlock (S-OFF) vs someone else's dirty S-OFF.

Also, I can't seem to get the info on the correct sequence when reading these forums. If I decide to root and modify his phone, which method is the best starting point from a phone that has not yet been touched and has all the latest OTAs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
There is no HTC S-OFF. HTC's unlock leaves you S-ON (which is exactly what that linked post explains) :confused:.
