[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
OK, that's what I thought, after some help from a kind soul.

So, I downloaded it, extracted it, ran distiller, but I keep getting the message: "ERROR. Run distiller again and READ."

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

OK, I've redone it and downloaded it to that and will see if I still get the same error.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Try it again. I kept getting that error message just prior to it running successfully.

And for what it's worth, I put it on the desktop and extracted it there. Worked fine;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Are you running it as admin?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
Yup.

I'm trying again. We'll see what happens. I'll let you know in a second.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Also I have seen in the other Moonshine threads that is you use a stock rooted rom it seems to work better
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
It's currently stock ROM, unlocked, with TWRP 2.5.0 on it (my first EVO LTE rooted phone was stolen last week, which is why I'm having to root this phone. I guess that's what happens when one hasn't really done this in over 9 months.) :silly:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
I beleive it was me you were refering to? ;) I said that a few posts back. :thumbup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
No I was referring to the HTC One threads :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Haha my apologies.how is it on the ONE forums? Is Moonshine the same?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
Success! S-OFF!

:good:

Thanks to all who chimed in.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Congrats :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Great! I hope you the best with your EVO :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lord Darth Vader:
Now if only I could catch the sonofabitch who stole my other one while I was in Boston last week. :mad:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
No worries :D

Yeah pretty much the same, there is also another method that came out the same day that is pretty slick you can run it from terminal emulator from your phone :D

That's the one I used but chose to run it from my PC instead
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Around this year I'm going to switch to AT&T for work issues I hope moonshine will be available for the ONE there :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
If Moonshine does not work I know the other method is confirmed working on AT&T :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Thanks :thumbup:

After trying this for awhile as I too was having the problem of booting thru HTC, I installed a stock rom and was able to change to disk drive at 59 seconds of countdown. After that even tho it says do not touch phone you will have to at every boot changing to disk drive each time. After the battle I came out on top finally S-Off!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TODDzillaInLA:
can you post the link to where you got the stock rom for s on at???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TODDzillaInLA:
so this is pretty frustration lol

before i went to work this morning i installed the sdk tools with google usb drivers and i was able to get into step 2 (viper rom cause i cant find any other stock 3.16 rom that will install with s on) now i just got off work and tried to give it another crack and im back to square 1 to where adb fales on the second step, i read the instructions prob 20 or more times fallowed everything step by step, i even put the files on the desktop in download and in the same folder as my adb.exe (which should not matter what directory its in) i did another full back up in twrp and reinstalled viper fresh i did custom with nothing installed using nova launcher and i did complete install either did anything different

im pretty much at a stand still with not knowing what to do next, any help would be appreciated
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Back up your rom to a sd card and take it out of your EVO just in case so it doesn't get wiped and RRU back to 3.16 and do moonshine again :D

Scratch that. Flash this and try it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2211138

can you point me to the right direction of finding a 3.16 ruu?

all the download links to each version of that rom come up 404 not found
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
There isn't one for 3.16
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TODDzillaInLA:
then what are thse guys installing to get moonshine to work?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:

And? Of course he's S-on. So is everybody else trying to run Moonshine on this device.

Todd, check your PM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] casiouser:
Any chance the Dev can make the 60 second timer 70 or 80 seconds so we are not having to switch to Disk drive mode with a half of second to go.

I've tried this 20 times. I keep getting stuck on step 2 with the stars going about half way and my phone never rebooting. I switched to stock rom and I am rooted. I know all other computer/ android functions work.

Thanks ahead of time for the help
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
I did have to switch to Disk drive when I was doing Moonshine it just went and did its thing.

i think i had Disk drive set to default you can try setting that but when it comes up disk drive was never set.

I have unlocked and now i get an error on reboot waiting for adb... i have progresss:good:

damn low battery
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TODDzillaInLA:
i ran distiller.exe with device manager open, and i noticed after the phone is set to disk drive device manager changes the Portable Devices/ evo to android usb devices/ my htc

yester after i installed the sdk tooks and google usb drivers distiller.exe would go through step 1 reboot into recovery then reboot again then around the 30/60 second mark it would find adb then do the ....... thing but the phone wouldnt boot fast enough to where i can change it back to disk drive, but now its not doing none of that any more

im downloading the stock 3.16 rom from sharkie but its only at 100 something mb and says 2hrs to go, need to go to work, guess ill mess with this when i come home
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pcausey77:
I kept having troubles with my friends phone and I switched my usb to a 2.0 port and moved adb and fastboot into my downloads folder where moonshine was then ran distiller with admin rights and bam it worked.. I did NOT have to mount to disk drive or anything that's all I did.. hope that's helps some ppl
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Fuses:
You mean this step after Test2:

[---------F**************************************************]
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] garrette:
I used " sharkierom rooted stock" and like I said was able the change to disk drive with one second left on countdown. You must countdown in your head and should be able to change at 59 seconds. Then even tho the instructions says not to touch phone screen u must at every reboot, "moonshining 1 thru 4", and manually change to disk drive. The first change at 59 seconds will be the hardest to get after that u can change to disk drive with no countdown.

I do kno YouTube has a nice video of how to install drivers and adb if u search
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ownagemaximus:
Looks like I managed to figure out what was wrong. I didn't read instructions correctly -.-. Forgot to install things that might have interfered with the adb connection. I guess someone in my family installed mobilego on the computer and it interfered with the connection. The timer doesn't freeze up anymore. I still have pdanet installed but it doesn't seem to interfere.

Instructions are KEY

I finally got mine to work too. First thing I did to boot up faster was remove the lock screen and make sure there was no lock screen functions. Then I disabled just about every app. I also removed every widget. This made for just about 3 to 6 extra seconds of time for me to switch into Disk drive mode.

Hope that helps someone.

I'm stuck! Please HELP!!

I have tried this process several times on 2 different computers. On one computer, I cant get past test 3, so I've just given up on using it (it's an older computer and has a bunch of crap on it). On the 2nd computer, it goes all the way through but moonshines 10 times and gives the error "Don't drink and shine!! Press enter to exit"

I've installed the lastest HTC drivers, Android SDK package, unzipped and installed it. I also have TWRP 2.5 recovery on my phone but I don't know what the problem is. I'm running a stock 3.16 rom.

At this point I want to give up and flash back to the avatar rom I was running before. I only wanted to s-off to update my radio. Now I can't reboot into recovery, superuser won't update the binary, and titanium doesn't recognize root. I still have root access (I checked) but I'm stuck on this stock rom.

Somebody please help me either obtain s-off or restore my phone to its previous state.

Edit: ok, I somehow lost root. I had to re-root and now my root apps work and I can reboot into recovery. I tried moonshine again but this time I didn't get past test 2. I would still like to obtain s-off.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 6bowmans:
Couldn't get past step 3 on a Win 7 computer that I had used with a photon, an evo, a galaxy 2, and an epic. As much as I tried, I guess there were still some drivers or other files still on the computer. I then moved to my son's brand new desktop, and the Win 7 distiller program took about 5 minutes to get me to S-OFF. I did not touch the phone nor move to disk drive mode during the process.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Honestly I'm basing my answer off the instructions on the Moonshine page, that says an internet connection is required for the Linux version of the tool. I'm not even sure the laptop I was using at the time was connected to the internet when I used it to gain S-off awhile back.
