Worked perfectly. I am on Linux Mint 14 64 bit. My rig was already set up to compile android for my Toro and grouper. I simply downloaded Moonshine for linux and followed the instructions. I immediately flashed TWRP and then ViperDNA. I didn't think it would be so easy. I just bought the phone for my daughter and traded her for her Nexus 7, she was kinda a bummed when I told her it was locked down and full of the verizon bloat.

Thanks guys.
[HTC Droid DNA] kdm212:
ok so antivirus and firewalls are off. im getting to second temproot and then for dots downward it stops. what can it be now lol?
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
very weird. can you screenshot? or come to irc
[HTC Droid DNA] kdm212:
im going to sound like a major noob...whats the irc page lol. im 100% stumped on this.

Stuck after fastboot

I followed all instructions, made sure my adb and fastboot are working. The distiller boots to fastboot and then starts counting up to 60/60 and fails.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Then your adb and fastboot aren't working properly....make sure no screen lock as well, and no htc sync.
[HTC Droid DNA] wack0jacko:
i uninstalled sync and i have no lock screen. I tested adb and fastboot using the "devices" command and it worked for both.

It does actually boot me into fastboot, it just hangs there and the count hits 60 and fails.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
but it's not working reliably. try unchecking and rechecking usb debugging in developer options.
[HTC Droid DNA] wack0jacko:
Tried - with same result.

Thanks for helping.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bowdowntozoltan:
got to WTF error spot, assuming a clean wipe is in order?
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Connection issue. check pc for htc sync, pdanet, etc etc.
[HTC Droid DNA] Spaded21:
Got hung up the first time. Beaups helped me out in IRC and it worked great. I was so worried by insurance replaced DNA wouldn't be rootable but this was super easy. Thanks guys!
[HTC Droid DNA] jake.corey.jacobs:
Just worked on my replacement phone from Best Buy and it failed the first time so I factory reset and then left the setup wizard and went directly into the Dev settings and turned them on, un-checked and re-checked USB degugging and then restarted moonshine and had not a single hiccup. Worked like a charm, I suggest anyone having issue with the WTF message to do a factory reset and retry.

Thanks B and co.

edit: found my answer
[HTC Droid DNA] MadCabbit:
After the second boot into fastboot, how many rows of dots am I supposed to get? I got like 20+ rows before I accidentally closed the window. Luckily, the unit booted back up fine.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Been covered like 100x, but that's a firewall/antivirus/proxy issue. Basically, distiller is unable to communicate with the update server. Fix it.
[HTC Droid DNA] MadCabbit:
Firewall is disabled. The error didn't happen again, though. Now I just keep getting errors trying to run temproot. I notice on my phone, that when booting, while it waits for adb, my system detects the device, starts installing drivers, I get the autoplay prompts, moonshine detects the device, but then Windows says that the driver installation failed while moonshine keeps going. After the phone finished booting completely about 20 seconds later, I get the autoplay prompts again and the device is usable. Is this causing a problem, or to be expected? I even tried again to see if I could get moonshine to ignore the first time the device is recognized until it finishes, but that's longer than the 60 seconds.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
The driver stuff is normal. temproot failed==need to factory reset device and start over
[HTC Droid DNA] MadCabbit:
Factory reset worked, and now S-off, thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] neotenshi:
EDIT: It worked the second time, I have not written anything xd
[HTC Droid DNA] jimlightner:
Thanx beaups,flawless.....had to factory reset once but I READ THROUGH THE THREAD!!!!..and I found my answer...come on guys I know its easy when someone else does all the work but eventually we have to stand on are one two feet..I've seen the same question asked 40 times..not beeing a **** I'm just sayin...:D
[HTC Droid DNA] khermaw:
My DNA alway got stuck/hung

In my case after moonshining 5 times or more , my DNA got hang/stuck no response at all and status in PC waiting for device. I have to press power button until power off and start up again. That alway happened like that (i tried more than 10 times with same result) , looks like moonshining never finished its job, because my DNA always get stuck. In hboot status is TAMPERED and LOCK

Is that happened because i flash from stock 1.15 with dna2.06firmware without flash 2.04 first ?

I've done that because i wanted to have 2.06 firmware (include radio, hboot) , but because i live outside US i can't get OTA.

I have tried revone but always got error 2 result.

Please help what should i do.

Sorry for my bad english.

[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Yes going from 1.85 to 2.06 is your issue. 1.85 you should've just used facepalm. Come to irc, we will get it sorted.
[HTC Droid DNA] illusionz:
Please don't flame me, I just got my DNA a couple of days ago... is there a way to do this without a wipe? From what I've read I think not yet, just wanted to ask though. Everyone's nice in the DNA threads here so I'll take my chances :eek:
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
this doesn't wipe.
[HTC Droid DNA] illusionz:
Thanks man! This couldn't have been any simpler. Man times have changed since the OG Droid huh :D

Now, one more question, dont get mad :P

What will happen if verizon pushes an OTA? will it mess anything up?

edit: might need your help really fast, mind if i pop in irc?
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Man, xda people must've been mean to you at some point....we don't get mad here.

Hard to say for unknown ota. as a general rule, when s-off/rooted/unlocked/etc it's advised not to take ota's. besides, they only "work" on stock roms.
[HTC Droid DNA] illusionz:
Times were rough back in the day.

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

Well, I haven't done the most recent one yet, because I figured I wouldn't be able to root if I did it. (just got the phone like 3 days ago)

I pushed it off as late as it will go, but I know eventually verizon will force me to install the ota while I'm sleeping one night or something.

Should I get it out of the way now?
[HTC Droid DNA] donnyp1:
Man, its been so long since I have rooted a new device that I am brain dead now. THe nexus was easy, lol. I am having fits getting this to work. May call it a night and try tomorrow with a clear head.
[HTC Droid DNA] khermaw:
Problem solved, i got s-off. Thank you very much beaups for your excellent support.
[HTC Droid DNA] illusionz:
anyone having trouble using the wifi tether app with this? cant get it to work

edit: i'm an asshat. had static ip on my laptop setup for my regular network...........
[HTC Droid DNA] donnyp1:
what is the most correct drivers to install and what is the easiest way to do it? I have tried so many ways im thinking of doing a system wipe and starting all over again I am so frustrated. Closest I got was timing out on adb connection.
[HTC Droid DNA] marcviado:
edit:nvm i am now s-off lol

how many times is it supposed to do the moonshining process? ive waited and it just keeps repeating itself im already at moonshining <5>
[HTC Droid DNA] illusionz:
official HTC drivers. should install with your phone upon plugging in. make sure HTC sync is uninstalled

like 2 lol
[HTC Droid DNA] Gr8Jeepin:
S-Off achieved

Thank you to beaups, Fuses and hyuh for their excellent work on bringing a very simple and hands free liberation for our phone. By far the easiest S-Off method that this noob has used. The three of you are very accomplished in your work.

Thank you again.

:highfive:
[HTC Droid DNA] voxigenboy:
weird... when i did this on my first dna it worked just fine the very first try.

now on my replacement dna, it just keeps saying 'ERROR: temproot failed" over & over.
[HTC Droid DNA] kern3l:
factory reset and try again.
[HTC Droid DNA] voxigenboy:
what's odd is i ended up switching from the stock htc cable to the cable that came with my galaxy s3, tried again & then it worked.

I tried this and I get a error. Error: run distiller again and read. I have windows 7 and adb fastboot installed and working. HTC driver installed. I click the distiller with administrator on windows, what am I missing? I am on the new firmware.

Thank you

I got I had to remove my Samsung drivers.
[HTC Droid DNA] armydog13:
There is an all-in-one tool here in the DNA forums that makes installing drivers a cinch
[HTC Droid DNA] Skizzy034:
Can you tell me what you did to get it to work please? I did the same thing you did going from 1.15 to 2.06 and I'm getting the same error. I can't find the link to get to the IRC to ask.
[HTC Droid DNA] Kris.J:
I Moonshined my DNA back on the 10th of June. Worked flawlessly. Thanks Beaups!

After Moonshine and CWM 6.0.3.1, I got busy as hell & am still running stock OTA with all the bloatware - time to blow it away and find a good ROM.
[HTC Droid DNA] r3pwn:
Just tried it on my friend's DNA today using TeamViewer and it worked flawlessly.
[HTC Droid DNA] blawicki:
Make sure to allow for unknown software installs.
[HTC Droid DNA] SoldierOfCatan:
Thanks for the Moonshine. BTW, I notice others have asked... Mine took 6 attempts before it finished. kept saying Moonshining <*> and finally worked.
[HTC Droid DNA] BDragonD24:
I took my replacement phone out the box, disabled fast boot and plugged it up. Ran Moonshine and after the 5th Moonshine prompt, it was done. Thanks for the great utility! This makes the 2nd time I've used it.
[HTC Droid DNA] danis1997:
is nessesary to have unlock bootloader before this??
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Not necessary for droid DNA, no.
[HTC Droid DNA] rogerwalker22:
Just used the windows version a few min ago. work like a charm 1st go round =] TY Beaups and the whole team!!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] IndyRoadie:
Worked great, once I stopped making stupid mistakes.. :\

Turned off Windows Firewall, ran Distiller, kept hanging at Waiting For FastBoot.. so, I did a Factory Reset.. still no joy..

Then I realized, Avast Firewall! noooo! I Wiped everything for nothing, lol

Turned off Avast, ran Distiller, worked like a charm!

Don't Root your phone on a whim and 3am when you are tired lol
[HTC Droid DNA] livinginkaos:
Are you booted or in fast boot? You need to be fully booted.
[HTC Droid DNA] egore93:
I had to uninstall my Samsung drivers. Once I did that it worked like a charm. Thank you!
[HTC Droid DNA] philippecr:
any support coming to HTC Butterfly? :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Kinz1980:
Just wanted to say I thanks. I picked up a DNA yesterday and used "moonshine" to achieve s-off and unlocked bootloader. I just flashed twrp and backed up the stock. It took me 7 times of running it before it worked. The last time I waited about and hour from the 6th time. Sweet !!! thanks again.:cool:
[HTC Droid DNA] heckfm:
Just a re-affirmation that doing a Factory Reset may help. I tried over and over with no luck with a DNA that I thought was on a clean reset. I let the phone charge overnight, did a new Factory Reset, and it worked without a single hiccup. The only difference was the full battery and a new Factory Reset.

Thanks for the great exploit!
[HTC Droid DNA] twiz0r:
I posted this in a different thread, but haven't received any help so I will post here:

I am attempting to s-off the wife's DNA. Windows 7 64 bit. I am getting the WTF: What are you doing? error after/during moonshining (1)

- I have used multiple USB ports

- I have verified adb install

- I have anti-virus turned off

- I have factory reset phone

- I have distiller to run as administrator

- I have distiller bypass firewall

- yes it is on 2.06 (she now knows never to take an OTA haha)

- debugging is on

- I have fastboot unchecked

- I am connected to the internet

- sync is uninstalled

- redownloaded and extracted Moonshine

I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?
[HTC Droid DNA] zounduser:
I've ran this like 5 times, everytime it worked on first try. Im attempting it now on a replacement, I keep getting the same error your getting, in the same spot. I've never had this problem? Starting to get pist. Only thing different this time around.....is the battery life. I'm attempting a charge, and a factory reset, then ill run again. Ill keep u posted if I get it. I'm using win7 machine, drivers installed, everything is how it should b. Getting pretty frustrated though.
[HTC Droid DNA] twiz0r:
Sorry to hear you're in the same position as me. I wish I had a solution for you. Good luck sir, for both of our sakes. My wife hates this phone lol
[HTC Droid DNA] zounduser:
Ill get it eventually. Lol. I just noticed my bootloader says tampeted? Even after a factory reset? But the bootloader is locked. And has stock recovery? Hmmmm.......I suppose a ruu attempt is in order next? This is getting ridiculous. Lol.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

Can I use the ruu file in the op? On top of stock Rom? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

I went out to smoke after factory resetting, and charging phone to 50% I also uninstalled some thangz from my computer that looked suspicious. Lol. And I finally got past the first moonshining. Bout time! Looks like its gonna work. Ill keep u posted.

My suggestion to u, is do what I did. Take the exact same steps I took. I think u may have a program interfering with moonshine distiller.

Edit........it worked. I'm s-off finally bro. Do what I did. And if u uninstall anything from ur pc, do a reboot afterwards.
[HTC Droid DNA] zounduser:
Did u get it to work yet bro? Do u have teamviewer 8?
[HTC Droid DNA] rockfreak101:
I would like to say I moonshined off a bit ago using Ubuntu iso and it was no hassle and quick. I would sincerely suggest if people are having issues to look at that option.
[HTC Droid DNA] twiz0r:
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Yes I did. I read your post and immediately I thought of something. When I re-extracted the .exe I forgot to make that one bypass windows firewall. !!! :) Happy wife now!
[HTC Droid DNA] murrowxda:
worked great on my neighbor's phone! thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] zounduser:
Is there any way to reverse the 2.06 ruu zip flash? I used it on my replacement device, cuz it wouldn't ota up to 2.06? Now it broke my WiFi?! I can't get any of the s-off methods to take. I can't send this phone back to Verizon with WiFi broke,and the hboot saying tampered. Any help would b greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Come to irc.
[HTC Droid DNA] zounduser:
Hey bro. I got the phone to take both ota's, so it fixed my wifi, but the tampered is still there in hboot. Im attempting s-off right now. Thinking bout using revone this time.
[HTC Droid DNA] zounduser:
ive never used irc? i keep getting dont drink and shine?ive done factory reset, and powered the device off. could it b something with the tampered hboot?

So I'm a noob when it comes to the DNA. (I've been out of the android game for a couple months and now have an iMac) but now I have the DNA on the newest update (its 4 days old) and I need some steps on how to do this with my Intel iMac on 10.6.8. Any help is appreciated. Adb does recognize my phone in the command prompt but that's all I've tried. Please help!

Edit: I've rooted MANY phones and customized even more BUT I've always had a Windows 7 pc so its always been straight forward so I'm not a noob in that respect, just in the respect that I now have a Mac. Lol
[HTC Droid DNA] zounduser:
Dude, I'm pretty sure u just make sure the file, "moonshine" is in your download section, then unzip it. I use 7zip, extract it to it's own folder. Next, make sure fastboot is off under settings/battery. Then under settings/developer options, check usb debugging. If the command prompt is recognizing it, then I'm sure u have already got debugging checked.

Plug phone in to ur mac, go to your moonshine unzipped folder open it, and run distiller, as admin. That's it. The program does the rest.
[HTC Droid DNA] Vfan23:
First, it is wanting to run a .exe program which it can't, second it says this.....
[HTC Droid DNA] Vfan23:
I downloaded both versions
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
This is not likely to work with a mac.
[HTC Droid DNA] Vfan23:
I'm trying revone but can't figure out how to push the revone.dna file to my phone. I downloded it and put it on my desktop and can't figure out the exact commands to push it
[HTC Droid DNA] jake.corey.jacobs:
even though this isnt the revone thread its "adb push nameofrevonefilegoeshere /data/local/tmp"

Even says it in the beginning of his instructions.
[HTC Droid DNA] mustangforlife23:
+100 LOL
[HTC Droid DNA] Vfan23:
Ummmmmm.....right....but where do I put the revone.dna file? When I try to push it it gives me some kind of error saying the file isn't found....using a mac there's a work around to set up Adb withiout SDK so I have no clue where to put the file....(I don't have platform-tools). Don't be hatin'....lol
[HTC Droid DNA] techinv:
Moonshined yesterday with no issue so thanks to beaups.

Noob question here, but can I just install cwm or twrp from Play Store, or do I need to flash these things?
[HTC Droid DNA] jake.corey.jacobs:
Well, number one this is the moonshine thread, NOT the revone thread. Also, you have to have the file in the same folder as the adb file. (Yes I know you don't have to adv users, but to avoid conflicts and stuff ya know).
[HTC Droid DNA] Vfan23:
Thanks...I did post it in the revone thread and no reply....moonshine is def the easiest but can't use it on my mac. My old days of using a windows pc was a cake walk compared to using this mac. My bad for ruffling some feathers in here. Lol
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Your call. Best to flash manually, as Rom manager, etc have no device checks, and can permanently brick devices if you screw up.
[HTC Droid DNA] jake.corey.jacobs:
No harm no foul, thats why I gave you the help anyhow mang. Also, I would say moonshine inside a linux live cd/usb is the easiest and probably safer (just my opinion, still thank revone team for their work).
[HTC Droid DNA] Vfan23:
Could you help me through the process of getting linux booted on my mac?
[HTC Droid DNA] jake.corey.jacobs:
I can try. First grab the 32bit iso from www.ubuntu.com if you dont have a 32 bit iso of anything else already.

Then burn it as an iso on your mac (im not a mac user and dont know what's best here do your own bit of research) and boot to the live portion of it.(i think its the mac command key + x to get to the boot menu, just google boot to cd from mac). After you get it booted open a terminal menu (click the top left icon thing that brings up a search box and just type term and its the first one of the three choices).

then run: each on their own line (its 3 commands)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Then head over to moonshine.io and follow the directions there to a T. Make sure fastboot in the battery menu is turned off, adb debugging on, and all lock screens set to off.

This is exactly how I remotely moonshined someone else last night with 0 issues. If you are having any issues with moonshine at first then go into bootloader and factory reset phone. then power down the phone completely and leave off for 30 seconds. Then make sure all conditions are set and retry.
[HTC Droid DNA] techinv:

[HTC Droid DNA] dbstudios:
Hey I was wondering if someone could help me get this going on a mac somehow? I have no access to a PC and would really like to root this thing, It's the only Android I haven't rooted yet and I'm having withdrawals lol

Thanks!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] Vfan23:
Pm me...I can walk you through the steps...Moonshine isn't comp. with a Mac. It took me 3 days to figure out the other process (Revone) but I ran the ADB commands and it worked the first try.
[HTC Droid DNA] HokieCoder:
Probably took between 10-15 minutes using an Ubuntu live CD for me. It reboots like half a dozen times, but each time it says it's moonshining, with an incrementing number. Is yours stuck on a certain command?

Can you not download an Ubuntu live image to burn to CD or write to USB flash drive and boot to that from your Intel Mac? (God forbid you still are using a PPC Mac).

To the group/people who helped develop this wonderful utility: you guys ROCK! The process was super easy and got my HTC Droid DNA S-OFF and rooted in no time. By far the easiest process of any of the devices I have rooted!
[HTC Droid DNA] jayact~:
I believe I had the same issue as you. What I ended up doing is installing linux onto a boot disk (ie. a USB thumbdrive), booted into that and ran the linux distiller. It went through without any communication or driver issues, even on my computer with USB 3.0s. So, I would recommend trying that.
[HTC Droid DNA] eddiecanuck:
I'm currently rooted with S-ON running a custom non-stock ROM, and would like to try this out. I'm slightly confused on one point though. Directions say to apply the 2.06 FW which is supplied in OP, great got it. But for the ROM, there is no 2.06 stock ROM unless I've totally missed something. My plan was to apply a stock 2.04.605.2 ROM deodexed and rooted, then apply the 2.06 FW and run moonshine (all per instructions). Will that work? I keep hearing 2.06 ROM but I didn't think there was one. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] Nickolas:
Just succesfully moonshined on Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64-bit with 32-bit Libs installed. thanks moonshine team!
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
If you are unlocked, then you should have supercid. In that case, you should just use facepalm.
[HTC Droid DNA] eddiecanuck:
Thanks, found your post on Facepalm. Just want to make sure, I did take the 2.X OTA after getting super CID and unlocking (like a day before S-OFF was achieved), so Facepalm is still the way to go correct? Sorry, just want to make sure I don't screw it up. Thanks for the reply.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Yep, as long as you have supercid, facepalm will work.
