Just wanted to say thanks again to beaups(facepalm s-offer) for doing what he does. Surely hope most didn't jump ship to the other method (loved the post over there too lol) since hes been so loyal to us, and waded through all the bs posts from people that only listen to their inner child. Everyone join us in truly owning your phone, and please donate to this man, esp if you posted you would. Don't know him personally, but definitely a man I would hug.(notgay)

[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Tip here. If your unsure of what your doing wait until someone makes a tutorial for you to follow or a video. Be patient it will happen. It's better than having a bricked device because you don't know what your doing.
[HTC Droid DNA] voxigenboy:
Just tried it on Windows 7 64. As it was going through each step my PC kept saying "device driver failed to install" & I got to enjoy hearing my phone go "DROID!" over and over. At the end of step 9 though it finished and S-OFF'd succesfully.

High Five !
[HTC Droid DNA] J-Rock28:
I tried every way I could think of using Ubuntu and Mint, kept getting the finger from my PC! It took only one time of using the newly released Windows method and I'm S-off! Many thanks to beaups and the rest of the dev team.... :victory:
[HTC Droid DNA] spongers:
I keep getting this error too. Using the same Ubuntu Live CD and USB port and cable (on the same computer) that I used to S OFF another DNA just this weekend. This phone is running the same stock software the other one was prior to starting (neither had ever been unlocked or ROM'ed prior to starting moonshine). I have wiped it a couple of times and it just won't go through the process entirely. Usually gets stuck at moonshing (1) or (2) and then throws the WTF error. Not sure what I am doing wrong since everything is the same as before.
[HTC Droid DNA] spongers:
Just tried the Windows version and I get to Test 2 and when it boots back into fasboot, and it gets there and my computer recognizes the device and so does the moonshine program it just keeps adding dots to the command windows, and doesn't appear to be doing anything. My first s-off with moonshine only did the "moonshining" parts. None of this rebooting and testing things. I cannot see a difference between the devices at all.
[HTC Droid DNA] grimmkt:
Mine is doing the same thing. I've tried several different times and it won't get past the test 2 stage. I'm going to try again from my home computer...my computer here at work has USB 3.0. That's the only thing I can think of. My device is recognized in adb and fastboot.
[HTC Droid DNA] carsonx:
Hello all,

Can someone help me out. Trying to gain s-off with moon shine. Did as was instructed...drivers installed, don't have HTC sync installed, usb debugging on, fastboot diabled, but when I run distillery as admin it ask me the questions, and then says don't touch phone...checking for update...then error...rerun distillery and read...I know I'm missing something. Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Droid DNA] livinginkaos:
Looks like either you don't have the 2.06 update on your device, or you are doing what I did and have it in fastboot mode. Make sure you are fully booted.
[HTC Droid DNA] carsonx:
Just checked,

I'm running 2.6 and fastboot is off. Maybe I'm not understanding the instructions. Anyone want to give a noon a step by step on how to moonshine on windows? Obviously I don't know as much as I thought
[HTC Droid DNA] dwc2134:
Do you have ADB and Fastboot installed on your PC?
[HTC Droid DNA] carsonx:
I thought so, but looks now like I didn't. I just downloaded, renamed and put on root of c drive
[HTC Droid DNA] Tarpit_Carnivore:
In case anyone was wondering I was able to get this installed via 32-bit Windows VM on OSX. You just need to watch it because it will keep asking to reconnect to the device to the VM. I know it's unsupported so I just wanted to chime in I was able to get it to work.
[HTC Droid DNA] Upstreammiami:
Ok so bootloader says tampered but still s-on?
[HTC Droid DNA] scariestgnome:
Any advantage to upgrading and getting s-off if already have s-off through earlier methods??? You know, the whole, "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" thing. Didn't want to upgrade and screw something up by chance just for nothing. Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] sdamark:
Thank You

:good: Just ran this on my Windows 8, 64 bit machine. No problems, absolutely smooth. Way to go guys. Thank you. By far easiest s-off / root that I've ever done on any phone. Just amazing talent around here. :victory:
[HTC Droid DNA] coyote81:
So I have never rooted anything before, and it seems you need some things installed on your computer which are not posted in the tutorial on Moonshines website. Could someone give a quick and dirty list of what I need for the DNA root installed onto my computer.

Also, when it's going through the stuff and says waiting for fastboot and also the one waiting for adb. Do I need to do anything there?
[HTC Droid DNA] grimmkt:
Someone a lot more knowledgeable than me will probably chime in but all I needed to do was make sure the USB drivers are installed for you phone and download the Moonshine .zip. I was not able to do it on my new PC running Windows 7 (32bit) but when I ran it on an older machine running Windows XP (32 bit) with no problems at all. Hope that helps.
[HTC Droid DNA] coyote81:
So I am kinda lost about the spot where it says

"adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip dna2.06firmware.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader"

Is this where I have to do something, when the bootloader comes up? or is this a totally automatic process this moonshine? If theres spots where I need to perform an action could someone please give some steps.

This you have to do before moonshine.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Enter those commands into a terminal, each line at a time

[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
moonshine is automatic (double click distiller.exe). those other steps are for upgrading firmware if you are not on 2.06.
[HTC Droid DNA] coyote81:
Ok, I am already on 2.06, so I will try my wifes DNA cable and maybe a few other usb ports and see if I have any luck.

Hrmmm i am on a different HBOOT. mine is 1.33.0001

Quick question, I got S-off and an unlocked bootloader but not the moonshine bootloader or Superuser. As you see in the video I just flash TWRP and it installs SU fine but is there an error on my part? I fully powered it down, let it sit for 2 minutes, and it still had the same bootloader with no SU
[HTC Droid DNA] coyote81:
Still not working, it won't let me get through temproot now. a few times before I have made it past temproot and gotten to moonshine 2 but thats as far as it's went. Any help would be awesome.

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

Well tried this on the wifes laptop and still no success. think i will install linux on my spare harddrive and try that. I must say though theres alot of assuming in these guides. when i would jailbreak my iphone it was step by step, not missing or assuming a user knew something. wish these guides were that way haha.
[HTC Droid DNA] coyote81:
So I finally got it to work, I restored to factory settings and rebooted and tried again. It worked. Now to figure out this other stuff haha.
[HTC Droid DNA] live2die:
glad to see windows support added，thank u for all the hard work
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
There isn't much assuming. You need working fastboot and adb drivers. You need screen locks disabled. You need usb debugging enabled. If all that is set right it should work no problem.
[HTC Droid DNA] coyote81:
Yeah but it did not work until I used Linux Mint. Computers are finicky things as most can attest to. Now I do have a theory as to why it might have been messing up on my end I had foxfi installed. Pdanet was listed as needed to be removed. Since this wasn't pdanet I figured it would be ok. See it still failed my first time on linux,so I did a complete factory restore.
[HTC Droid DNA] vargo911:
Moonshine with Window support is so easy its ridiculous. I used windows XP on a cheap mini lap top. I used LG USB data cord. (I lost my original htc USB cord). I did not do a factory reset on my phone. I followed moonshine websites instructions. Once it was all done, My phone booted backed up with s-off and no lost of data or apps. I then proceeded to flash CWM recovery, downloaded CWM app.. and then Flashed ViperDNA.. Epic win.

Thank You 3rd party Developers. Party ON!!
[HTC Droid DNA] TGreg104:
My phone's screen has had a dead spot for a while now, really annoying. I've been wanting to get a new one but wanted to have the ability to be S-Off.

I've read, and from what I found this lets you S-Off 2.06, is this correct? I just want to be 10000% sure before I go get dooped by VZW :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Correct.
[HTC Droid DNA] Airo18:
Works!

Beaups helped me get it to work, if you get stuck go to the Moonshine irc. It was because I had previously Jtagged and the ota's didn't properly update my bootloader stuff. He walked me through it and all went great. Enjoying Moonshine S-off :D
[HTC Droid DNA] Airo18:
Allow it through your firewall and try again
[HTC Droid DNA] sdamark:
Someone else asked this question, however I can find no answer. Since Moonshning my back-up DNA I have no signal or data. It seems like its not recognising my SIM card. As I said this is not my daily phone. I'm just using it to try out different ROMs. But I would like to get it fully working again. This phone already had the 2.06 update, so I did not install the update listed in the OP prior to running Moonshine. since then I went back and ran the firmware update and ran through the Moonshine process again. Still no signal or data. Anyone have any ideas?
[HTC Droid DNA] nexvestrum:
Wasnt the firewall but my anti virus software, thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] Airo18:
Have you tried a factory reset in the bootloader?

Is device set to global mode? Is the IMEI valid? s-off shouldn't produce any behavior like what you are describing.

In global. Valid IMEI... Hmmm, should be. Paid full retail, off contract, at Verizon. Guess I should take it in and have them check.

Sounds like maybe account issue then? This s-off doesn't touch anything radio-related.

I'm getting this while trying to s-off my warranty replacement DNA

Is it normal?
[HTC Droid DNA] kern3l:
Turn off your firewall, antivirus program and if you are behind a proxy, make sure it is properly configured on your computer.

Reboot the phone and try again.
[HTC Droid DNA] xShin:
I'm also getting the same thing.. I've factory reset my phone, flashed the firmware update in the OP, re-installed JDK and Android SDK drivers, re-installed the HTC drivers, uninstalled HTC Sync, successfully tested connectivity using "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" commands.. I've also tried this with 2 different computers on 2 different networks.. my firewall is disabled, as is my antivirus, and I've rebooted my phone and computers several times.. I'm seriously confused right now x.x
[HTC Droid DNA] dbstudios:
OK, so this may have been answered but I couldn't find it in this thread. Is it possible to do this using a Mac?
[HTC Droid DNA] Lykarsis:
I solved it by shutting down utorrent, which was using a proxy, and uninstalling everything related to any other device but the DNA on my computer. Then I let HTC sync install again (had already done this) along with the Verizon driver that pops up when you plug the phone in.

Uninstalled HTC sync and ran moonshine successfully. Windows 7 64-Bit if that helps
[HTC Droid DNA] xShin:
Interesting. I ended up using revone, and it worked for me - thanks for your help though!
[HTC Droid DNA] n0xx187:
ok so im confused a bit.

says I need FW 2.0.6 ( is this talking about the Hboot?)

Im on hboot 1.33.0001

CWM v 6.0.2.7

Viper DNA 1.1.3

Other then unlocking, rooting and Installing ViperDna I haven't done any thing to my phone

Could someone please point me in the right direction to achieve s-off.

Thanks a ton
[HTC Droid DNA] kern3l:
As you are unlocked, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155069 is what you need.
[HTC Droid DNA] jjdicecco:
Ok sorry in advance for the noob question. But if I s-off with this method, there will be no need to unlock the bootloader. correct?
[HTC Droid DNA] Silaz5210:
Sorry for the redundant questions I'm about to ask, but recently I shattered the screen on my release day, bootloader unlocked droid DNA and I'm frantically trying to get my new one up to speed once it arrives tomorrow.

Thus, in order to have everything the way I had it on my current phone(unlocked, custom roms/kernals/S-off) All I need to do is follow this s-off method and I should be good to go besides installing the usual root and custom recovery?
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Moonshine installs root for you. All you will need to do after is install recovery.

[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:

[HTC Droid DNA] kenkoxda:
Please could you explain me, but I do not understand that if doing these steps:

You MUST upgrade to 2.06 fw first. To do this, download firmware 2.06 here. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...06firmware.zip Then:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip dna2.06firmware.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

or you describe here:

http://moonshine.io

I need to install linux to unlock the bootloader? or what I can do from windows.
[HTC Droid DNA] Stratman14:
Sorry for the noob question, but will running this delete any of my data or wipe anything? Also do you have to do a factory reset before you can run Moonshine? Any responses would be appreciated. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
no and no.
[HTC Droid DNA] mustbepbs:
So I just tried again. Went through almost the whole thing (changed USB ports and made sure I was on 2.06), but when it finished step 7, it said "temproot failed press enter to exit".

Why is this so difficult?
[HTC Droid DNA] kenkoxda:
I've done the steps now what? I go to the page htc dev to unlock bootloader?

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip dna2.06firmware.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

IMPORTANT! Then, choose "power off" in fastboot menu[/QUOTE]

I have to download the file directly from the phone and work from there?

Just finished step 10 and it said

ERROR: don't drink and shine

What the **** does that mean? It still says *** TAMPERED *** and *** LOCKED ***

What kind of error message is that?

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

Again:

All the way through step 10 and DON'T DRINK AND SHINE

I really don't find it funny that it doesn't tell you what's wrong. I'm getting upset and I don't think it's cute. I don't mean to come off as a jerk but it's not constructive when trying to figure out what is going wrong. Maybe if you told us what these mysterious error messages mean we wouldn't flood the thread asking for help with cryptic messages.

repeated temproot failures are typically a UID issue on your device. Factory reset the device and try again, it will work.
[HTC Droid DNA] Silaz5210:
One of the things that causes the temproot failure is putting the moonshine files onto your PHONE's download folder. This is incorrect, and moonshine should be launched from within a windows directory. It was already stated the directions need changed.
