To everyone who has this issue, DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ALLOW MOONSHINE TO DO THE JOB IT IS MEANT TO DO!

It will fail over and over and over and over this is how the exploit works, one of my phones took 5 minutes one took 10 and Beaups created it to work in this order thus is why it states Type Yes if you understand not to touch anything.

Sorry for caps just trying to point out it will work if you let it run.

Download Moonshine

Extract Moonshine

CD in terminal to Moonsine

./distiller

Then wait.........
[HTC Droid DNA] gypsy6slayer:
I am now S-OFF. Thanks to everyone who helped me! :)
[HTC Droid DNA] danjull:
I had this error too. Waiting won't do anything. You're probably talking about when it says moonshine (1)..... The temp root error ends the program. Waiting after that will just have you stare at terminal for an eternity. I had the superCID2.apk still installed on my phone after some previous tinkering. It messed up temp root somehow. After I got the error and checked the phone the supercid app was open. So I uninstalled it and moonshine ran perfectly with no hiccups.
[HTC Droid DNA] Prodiigy:
Do we need to be in hboot or fastboot mode for moonshine to work? I get to the "do not for any reason touch, unplug...device" part of it then it says "please wait" and i get nothing but little dots. any ideas on what i did wrong or need to do?
[HTC Droid DNA] txtnkrmn:
Success!

I too was having a terrible time getting this to work. I read in another thread to perform a factory reset before running Moonshine.

Well, I figured it was worth a try. Did it, ran Moonshine from an Ubuntu live dvd and it went just fine. :)

Thanks to all of the devs, I will be making a contribution.
[HTC Droid DNA] blackstallion:
How will this s-off method be potentially affected by future Verizon updates? Or to put it another way, is there still a chance for Verizon to screw up your phone by putting it back to s-on, or is this permanent?

If one were to moonshine right now (before verizon potentially patches this exploit) but decide to not install a custom ROM, would they be able to receive updates from Verizon?

I originally had a Droid Incredible and used the unrevoked forever S-off method where it was permanent. Just curious how this method compares.

[HTC Droid DNA] Prodiigy:
EDIT: Figured it out. I didn't "READ" when it the directions said to have an internet connection. I was tethering from my phone and it shut off the internet when it would reboot into bootloader. Guess I have to wait till i get an internet connection before i S-Off :crying:
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
Once you're s-off, you're s-off. No OTA is going to change that. As far as I know, you can still get OTA updates, as long as you have the stock h-boot, and all bloat is still in place, basically how it came out of the box.

Sent from my Nexus 10
[HTC Droid DNA] blackstallion:
It seems then the answer for Moonshine is that no you cannot receive OTA's from VZW because a customized and unlocked h-boot is installed with this method from my understanding and is why we don't have to use HTCdev.

Sent from my Droid DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] artjrv:
So how and where do we download this moonshine?
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
You should be able to put the stock, locked h-boot back after running moonshine to go back to stock, s-off state, if you so choose.

[HTC Droid DNA] antone315:
Can someone elaborate on this?...I think it has to do with changing the directory but not sure how to...thanks in advance for help
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
I think you're exactly right about that. What you want to do is type "cd" without quotes which is for change directory. So in terminal if the files were on the desktop loose, it would be "cd Desktop" and press enter. If there were in a folder named "charlie s-off" on the desktop, you would type "cd Desktop\charlie s-off" and press enter. Then you can type the commands.

What is moonshine

[HTC Droid DNA] quintenk:
I didn't touch anything. I actually left the room 10/30 times that I did it. Every single time -- with different USB cords, USB ports, computers, etc -- it did the same thing. "Launching Temproot - Sleeping 10 sec - Temproot failed." This has nothing to do with "touching anything".

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

That worked for you? I did try the superCID exploit some time ago before I realized it wouldn't work with the new update. But, while trying to get moonshine to work, I factory reset my phone (which I assume got rid of the superCID) and I still get the temproot error.
[HTC Droid DNA] hack_er4:
Last night got the s-off

got few problems too.

sharing them with solutions.

problem 1

I am on 2.04

Solution : First upgrade to 2.06

download this

save the file to adb directory

then use these commands with all drivers installed for htc droid dna on pc and device is plugged in USB 2.0:good:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip dna2.06firmware.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Every thing works fine now you are on 2.06 but device won't show it under the settings. It shows 2.04.

But you are updated confirm using this command

fastboot getvar all

check for main version : 2.06.605

Now you are on 2.06

Problem 2

You need ubuntu to move forward but Where is ubuntu:confused:

Solution: download Ubuntu First http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download

download 13.04 32 bits

make this live on a pen drive minimum 4gb

to do this use USB INSTALLER

run usb installer

select the downloaded ubuntu ISO

then hit Create

after 2-4 mins your live ubuntu is ready

boot the system with this pendrive (I think every one here knows that :p)

After everything loads up

run firefox download

moonshine 2.06

that will be downloaded under downloads

Problem 3

In terminal I cant able to change the directory using cd ~/downloads

it says no such file and folder is there some thing like that

Solution: type the command properly use cd ~/Downloads

Downloads with capital "D"

ubuntu commands are case sensitive. (I don't know that and keep trying here and there for 30 mins :( )

at last use these command

tar -zxf moonshine_dlx_2.06.605.1.tgz

sudo ./distiller

Yes with capital Y :p

wait for 10-15 mins approx.

test1

test2

moonshine(1)....

moonshine(2)...

.

.

.

.moonshine(5)

done.:good:

reboot the device. in bootloader to confirm bam... S-Off :)

moonshine not working!!!!

Ok, so I'm running Ubuntu live 12.04.1 LTS CD.

I followed all the instructions to the t, even factory reset my phone! But no matter what, I still get the "WTF: What are you doing message!" Message after sleep 10 sec. Moonshine (1).......

I've tried this over 20 times, different USB ports, deleted the original moonshine files and re downloaded it and extracted it, still the same message! Any help really appreciated! Looking to run sense 5.0 if I could just unlock my phone!
[HTC Droid DNA] danjull:
Yeah, that was the only thing I changed between failing and s-off. I uninstalled supercid and then it worked great.

Just two little hints for new Linux users: Linux is case sensitive. Downloads and downloads are two different things. And use the tab, it makes terminal much easier to use. If you start typing tar -zxf moon and hit tab it'll auto complete the file name for the moonshine file. If it doesn't auto complete, you don't have the file in your current directory or you have more than one moonshine file... Same with the the distiller command. You can just type sudo ./dis and hit tab.
[HTC Droid DNA] quintenk:
Is there some way superCID would still be on there even though I factory reset it?
[HTC Droid DNA] Robocrypt:
So this is my first time ever rooting a phone. Finished moonshine and now I have S-OFF! anyway where do I go from here.
[HTC Droid DNA] quintenk:
Well, the first place I would go is to find a TWRP program for the DNA. It stands for Team Win Recovery Project and allows you to flash roms to your phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] blackstallion:
Very nice instructions. I now have a Live USB Ubuntu OS running off my flash drive and will attempt moonshining after the following question is answered. Do I need to have ADB installed with all the drivers and all for the DNA? If so where do I get ADB and the drivers? I've never connected the DNA to a PC and furthermore never had much need for using ADB on my previous HTC (Droid Incredible) because I did everything through the SD card.
[HTC Droid DNA] Robocrypt:
Alright well do I find a TWRP program here? Or Google it?
[HTC Droid DNA] quintenk:
Ahmm, you might find it here, but Google is your best friend.
[HTC Droid DNA] Prodiigy:
I ran Moonshine and got the "WTF:..." error but my phone still says "unlocked" and "S-Off" so how can i tell or check to see that i really am S-Off? Also, i dont have SU or SuperSU on my DNA, is this something i have to put on or should moonshine have done that?
[HTC Droid DNA] Robocrypt:
Downloaded the goo manager app from play store. Install the twrp and now I have it. So I just download custom roms now and install them in recovery mode I guess. And what is flashing a rom?

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

SuperSu was installed to my dna after running moonshine. Gunna say something got messed up when you did it.
[HTC Droid DNA] Prodiigy:
I thought it was supposed to install SuperSU. Guess i'll Moonshine some more till it works.
[HTC Droid DNA] quintenk:
Flashing a ROM is the name for how TWRP installs them.
[HTC Droid DNA] Robocrypt:
Sorry. Guess I worded that funny. I noticed it after running moonshine. Moonshine did install it onto my phone.

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

Ah ok that makes sense. So where do I go to get custom ROMS?
[HTC Droid DNA] quintenk:
Ohhh, boy, haha. There are tons. There are a lot right here on XDA, but just Google it. Make sure it is a trusted source, though. No sketchy websites.

Successfully rooted! Advice to people who are having problems -- Don't give up. I spent 16 hours and over 50 tries yesterday to no avail. Then I said, "What the heck" and tried again just now. Rooted on first try.
[HTC Droid DNA] hack_er4:
For drivers

Install htc sync manager from HTC

after installation uninstall it,

For ADB Download here :

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

After installing

go to sdk\platform-tools\

here is the adb.exe, fastboot.exe

they wont run directly by double clicking on them

access them using command prompt.

like:

if you have installed sdk in E:\android\sdk\platform-tools

run cmd

type cd E:\android\sdk\platform-tools

now you are in.

Now you can use all adb and fastboot commands here

now check if drivers are in there

type

adb devices

if it says

List of devices attached

FA2B6S500258 device

then you can move forward

If not then the there is some problem with drivers restart windows, change port , and try again

That error is when distiller cannot adb connect to the device.

Make sure debugging enabled. Try another port. Make sure lockscreen disabled. etc. etc.

Flash recovery
[HTC Droid DNA] danjull:
No drivers necessary on Linux. And beaups said adb and flashboot don't need to be installed for moonshine to work. It comes with everything it needs. It's not a bad idea to have though, unless you're just using a live version of Linux.
[HTC Droid DNA] Prodiigy:
flashing recovery didnt work. guess im not unlocked and S-Off.
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
When running moonshine it would tell you if it was successful then after rebooting the phone you can download a root check app then download goomanager and it will flash the latest twrp recovery
[HTC Droid DNA] Prodiigy:
it said it failed but when i check my hboot/fastboot screen is says that im unlocked and s-off. im going to try to run RUU and set it all back to factory settings
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
That's pretty weird what failed the root check meaning it's saying you aren't rooted or flashing recovery failed ?
[HTC Droid DNA] Prodiigy:
moonshine failed so i booted to hboot just to look and it says

***Tampered***

***Unlocked***

then maranudo? pvt shp S-Off

i tried to download a recovery and it just wouldnt do anything and i tried titanium backup (just because i knew it required root access) and it says my device isnt rooted.

i dont know how to get my DNA back to locked and S-On although i guess it wouldnt matter since i dont plan on sending it back to verizon for anything.
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
Hmm I mean if you're unlocked and s-off try flashing super user zip that's in the rooting forum see if that gets your root if you're s off and unlocked

Temproot failed error

Hello,

I'm having the temproot failed error and after troubleshooting with suggestions in this thread I have found two things that may be the cause.

1 - After trying "hack_er4" suggestion of

I find that getvar all returns "version-main: 3.06.605.4" even though I installed 2.06 and it returned no errors.

2 - While moonshine is running it checks for abd while my phone is rebooting. While this happens I get a "Device software was not successfully installed" message for "HTC MTP Device" which does not show up in device manager. However Device Manager does show "Android phone > Android ADB Interface" which (I think) means ADB is working.

Can anyone point me the right direction?

[EDIT] Titanium backup doesn't work either. I'm not looking to move too far away from stock but I remember on my last phone there was a stock rom with all the bloatware removed which I liked. So:

1. Does something like this exist for the DNA?
