Flash whatever ROM you want. Just bare in mind that since you have the updated touch panel driver, older Sense ROM's won't work. Neither will AOSP ROM's with the older 3.0 kernel. Any Sense ROM based on software version 3.16 will work fine. If you want to run an older ROM you can downgrade your touch panel driver. Rage will still work-why would you think it wouldn't?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gorillaz1:
Misunderstood someone in another thread. Thought S-off meant no sense roms
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
S-off means the bootloader's security is off. Hit the link in my sig for more info.

Where did i go wrong?

What did i do wrong?

I did nothing wrong. I followed all steps.

Uninstalled the sync software days ago.

I manually checked adb and fastboot.

Installed htc drivers on win7 x64 with admin privileges a few days ago

Hardware 003

Baseband 1.12.11.1210

Rom 3.16.351

Stock with goodies 3.46

Rooted via dev unlock

The script executed without a problem.

I have s-off however I can't send texts or calls

I get the error "your account cannot be verified"

Spent an hour on phone with tech support and they were not able to get me running.

:confused:Should i run the unlock again? Flash to a new rom? Take it in?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Go into settings and choose Activate this device and let it do it's thing

This is a side affect of getting S-OFF for some folks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] capriquarian:
I tried that. The activation returns "network error"

After a restart or two, I was able to get activation to complete, however voice and txt still doesn't work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Call Sprint and have them reprovision your service.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] capriquarian:
I did that too. They had me turn it off while I waited for an update.

After that was unsuccessful, we changed the msid to a test number.

They were stumped cuz after all the changes/restarts it says I'm provisioned but voice and txt still didn't improve.

I will try againwoth tech support tomorrow am.

How long does Test 2 Normally take? I think its hung up on booting device, and the phone is sitting in Fastboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tm21fourt3:
Yeah I'll never get S-Off.

Ever.

Maybe because I'm on windows 8...I don't know. But I've wasted too many hours doing this crap.

"Test 3: Rebooting into bootloader (again)

Waiting for fastboot (10/120)

....................................................................................................

...................................................................................................."

Then nothing. Is there anything I can do?

I have the absolute latest HTC drivers, sdk is fully updated.

Anything guys?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Check PM.

Also, you may have to manually reboot your phone from fastboot to the ROM (or vice-versa). Make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port, as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tm21fourt3:
Switched to a different usb port...no luck.

Can you explain the manually part though? Just break it down if you will, thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Sure. If you're in the bootloader and it says "Waiting for Fastboot" but it doesn't do anything, just use the volume keys on the side of the phone to navigate to where the reboot option is in the bootloader menu. Then use the power button to make the selection. If you're booted into Android and it's waiting and won't reboot, reboot to the bootloader from the power menu.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smallba:
I got s-off but it never installed Su binary and I can't install twrp, I'm gonna guess it didn't install the unsecure boot.omg, any ideas? I'm on my way home from work so I'll run it again when I get home. Should I push any of these files?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Moonshine doesn't install the su binary. You have to do that yourself. You have to have a custom recovery installed first. You can get the su binary from the thread in the link below.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2026938

Just flash the su binary zip in recovery.

Successful S-OFF on a replacement LTE. After reading the posts I wanted to share what worked on Win7 64-bit Home.

- Followed all guidance in OP

- Unzipped the 5 Moonshine files to the \platform-tools folder (place were adb and fastboot are for me)

- Right clicked on distiller.exe and ran as administrator

- Comodo firewall flagged a couple of files as distiller checked for updates. Accepted those

-- Stuck at Step 2 issue, restarted distiller

-- Got to Step 3 with a bunch of ............, restarted distiller

-- Got to 10 moonshines with a fail, restarted distiller

-- During each of the fails above I tried to change the USB connection to storage when the phone was rebooted, like many of the posts said to do, while moonshine was waiting for ADB

- Turned off Avast antivirus for one hour

- Restarted distiller and didn't touch the phone at all. Worked

Thanks to the OP for a great bit of software.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tm21fourt3:
Maybe it's my windows 8...I don't know. But I cannot get this. Sucks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smallba:
Hands free activation doesn't work, what happens is during s-off the phone tries to get authorized to the network, after so many times you get locked out, when you try to make a phone call it gives you the Error 16 message, just remain on the line and operator answers, just give them your 4 pin or security question answer, they tell you to turn off the phone after you hang up for 2 minutes, turn it back on and you have service back.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Fifth313ment:
Does this require an HTC unlock token as I didn't see anything about that? I would rather do an S-OFF and root method that didn't void my warranty (or they don't know about, lol). Thanks!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] n388mm:
So, I seem to be running into a problem that nobody has experienced before? LOL

I'm running Debian x86 and have android sdk install with adb and fastboot confirmed to be working.

I added the platform-tools to my $PATH and added an alias for sudo to run as sudo env PATH=$PATH

Distiller launches and boots my phone into fastboot and then reboots and waits for ADB. It finds the phone and then goes through about 12-13 'dots' and says ERROR: ADB Failure and reboots.

I've tried restarting the adb server under sudo manually before launching distiller. I've tried different USB ports. I am HTCDev unlocked. Kinda stumped..

Any ideas?

Just wanted to report back that I ran this successfully (I think) as I have S-off now in my bootloader. Wanted to mention that I never got a "successful" dialog, rather a "WTF: What are you doing?" and "Press Enter to exit".

Like I said previously, I'm assuming even though I got that error that all is well as my bootloader is successfully saying "S-off."

Please add to Prerequisites

After several hours I was finally able to go s-off moonshine style. However, if the following can be added to the prerequisites it might help other noobs.

*) For HTC Evo 4G LTE your device must be HTCDEV unlocked. Please follow these instructions: http://youtu.be/iyRxI15CUnA

*) Install TWRP (latest version) Please follow these instructions: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/98

I had two separate issues a) the phone would not reboot after entering the bootloader. Solved by unlocking bootloader

and also it would show error: adb failure. Solved by loading TWRP
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tigerstown:
WELL for noobs just follow directions mount phone as disc drive. After phone is plug in. extract. run as administrator. I didn't test any connections just type. 1st time phone rebooted go to dev settings uncheck usb debugging then recheck. Remount as disc drive notification bar. I did this on viper no lock screen no password screen. After I did that it recognized phone right away. Never touched phone again every time phone rebooted it recognized device at 40 seconds every time. I ONLY TRIED ONE TIME.... WORKS UNREAL MAGIC!

That will not happen again. Only when you do s-off.. I heard it's a security measure they take. Anyways now s-off you can flash new radios new tp kernels an roms splash screens an you will not get kick off network. Make a back up now before you start flashing enjoy your s-off

OK, I have definitely rooted and have successfully used ADB.

I cannot get past step 2 with the ADB test....

any suggestions ?

I am HBOOT 2.09

It says Tampered and Unlocked.

I have literally just now rebooted to fastboot using ADB, so I know it works ?

I'd really appreciate some help with this, this is the final step before I can flash a new ROM on the phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Try manually rebooting to fastboot, or to the ROM depending upon which step you're on.

Also, S-off isn't necessary to flash a ROM-you just have to take an extra step or two to get the kernel flashed properly. Having said that, S-off is preferred:thumbup:

I dont understand what you mean there ?

When it gets to check 2, it reboots, then ADB doesn't connect, I cannot reboot manually to fastboot, it's rebooting and takes longer than 60 seconds

I'm getting ABD connections, but it just never succeeds..

I'm definitely HTC unlocked.

When you say this

Drum roll.... I will try to make this short. Got a replacement phone I ended up wiping everything including stock rom thinking that was good... NOT after 12 hours I was able to install Sharkie ROM-LTE because I was still S-ON so at least I was able to get a rom back on. Phew!!!

Once that happened then I fallowed the basic stuff, make sure fastboot is unchecked, Dev options Debugging checked correct drivers installed and ran distiller.exe yes I'm on Windows7.

Here is were it got interesting on moonshines website it says not to touch or do anything when you start.

Im confirmed that moonshine work like a charm for me and im on stock rooted base 3.17 by you capt, only the firmware still 3.16 n of course cuz im still s-on so couldnt update firmware... :rolleyes:

Now im on ur 3.17 firmware after s-off, two thumbs up for u and moonshine team. Great work guys...

And for peoples that still have problem with moonshine ur final goal its not about what rom u used. But what version on hboot and bootloader... I was failed 3 days ago cuz i always concern to rom, and the answer is wrong. What u have to check is driver on ur pc/laptop, be sure that ur phone recognized as "my htc" not "android phone" or other.

To test it plug ur phone as adb and see what ur device name on device manager. If "my htc" its good, if not u must reinstall the driver.

Still on pluged cable restart ur phone to bootloader mode and see again did ur device still recognize as "my htc", if not, update ur driver and point to the folder that htc driver was installed. If u sure enough with test it again n again, now u good to go to moonshining ur phone. This is just my experience, cuz im always failed on step 3 bcuz phone not recognize as "my htc" .... Just FYI correct me if im wrong, im still newbie too...

Sorry for my bad english, im from indonesian and im use my htc with injected operator of my country, bad news that s-off method is released my injected number... But its okay i can bring again to people that pros about this in my city...
