having the same problem

I am having the same problem.. it gets stuck at waiting for ADB Test 2 then it times out.. I noticed you change to Disk Drive?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Good news!

Myself and another tester were able to confirm that the updated rumrunner script will work on the latest OTA. beaups should be posting it later today :).

I got as far as Moonshine 7 and it asked me to rerun it?

I also tried Rum Runner and got to 8 and it asked to re-run it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cmorris8848:
Just used it without a hitch. Just made sure to stay on top of the phone and change it to disk mode every time. Thank you for this easy S-Off method! :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] copc:
This is what I found hope it helps someone else.

First tried with Viper 3.1.7

Would no get past moonshine 7 and would always have to switch USB dropdown on every reboot

Flashed meanroom

Got as far as mooneshie 8 and never had to switch USB at all.

Flashed a stock rooted rom from Capain Throwback

I would have to switch the USB drop down on each reboot but it went all the way through and now I am s-off.

Win 7 64bit

No HTC sync
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 12gage:
I was wondering if I could use this method to get S-Off, it appears to be the easiest from what I've read. Here's my info:

HBoot 1.12.0000

Radio 1.05.11.0606

And I'm on the last firmware (3.15xxxx I believe)

Thanks in advance.

Getting stuck on Test 3 as well. Fastboot is loaded on phone but the cmd console just keeps going ...........

How long should this take here until I can consider it failed? I'm just going to walk a way for a bit and see if I get an error eventually. Please share your eperience on how long this step took and how many times you had to try. Getting nervous!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chemjb:
I've had problems with test 3 as well. Three different evos so from what I gathered windows 8 sucks for moonshine.

Your battery has to be higher than 60 percent.

What I did that worked for me was to use another computer. One that had windows 7 and the android SDK installed and most importantly the latest drivers.

fastboot detection fails every time...

So I have tried connecting several different cables to all three USB ports on my computer. All of them are able to connect to adb through command prompt, but when I load into the bootloader, select fastboot, and then connect to the same slots that detected the adb, command prompt shows a blank. I know that it's connected cuz my phone says FASTBOOT USB.

I have uninstalled HTC Sync, installed all the latest drivers, have all of the SDK stuff and tried running moonshine. I get to the part where it tries to connect to fastboot and it times-out and tells me to fix it. I have literally spent the past hour looking through the first 20 pages of this forum. I apologize if the answer was there and I missed it or if it's in the later pages, but I would really like some help with this. Thanks ahead of time for your time and consideration.

Moonshine and no no phone reception

Moonshine completed all of it's steps but now that the phone is s-off I can not get it to activate. When I try it just spins and does nothing. When I install CM 10.1.3 it installs fine but the same thing, no phone functionality. I can use wifi and bluetooth but I can not get the phone to activate. I restored from my nandroid and still it will not activate. It was working fine before the moonshine and my backup that I am using was from before moonshine. On CM it won't even show my phone number in the about phone. I have even tried manually generating the apns to no avail. I have no experience with Sprint phones, so I don't know why I have to "activate" to use it? Anyone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Link420able:
If the baseband number is unknown in setting, you could try flashing the latest baseband, even if it doesn't say unknown, it wouldnt hurt to try.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You need to be on a Sense ROM to activate your phone. You can't do it from a AOSP ROM, which includes CM.

I finally got it to work and I was:

HBOOT 2.09.0000

Software 3.17.651.4

Best method to get this to work flawlessly is install WinDroid HTC EVO 4G LTE Toolkit 2.0

Do the HTCdev bootloader unlocker 1st. It will erase everything!

Install the TWRP Recovery

Install SuperSU v1.93 from recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Reboot

If you dialed ##3424# earlier or see DM Command Service you need to press Menu and Disable it.

You do not want to disable on the phone HTC Sync Manager cause it will disable DEBUGGING.

Ignore the USB connection type as long as DEBUGGING is enabled.

You well be asked for ROOT access during the process and it might fail the 1st time around but it will work the next time as long as it remembers it.

Woot! I just got S-Off! Thanks guys for all the hard work!!!

There is one problem I seem to be running into though after getting s-off... My phone was activated under my Sprint network, and now it's not. It's also not Updating the profile or PRL, so I can't access my network at all currently and I'm a little unsure of what to do. Any help would be much obliged.

Thanks again for the awesome s-off though! :)

EDIT: Just restarted my phone and it activated successfully. Sorry for the annoying question, I'm used to flashing and modifying all sorts of things on my previous phone and my tablet, but the whole s-off business just had me all sortsa scared. Thanks again team!

Call Sprint and have them re-provision your phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Paulitics:
Thanks, but I managed to get back on the network by simply restarting the evo again and voila, it worked. I was more or less initially scared because of the whole s-off deal and I've heard of people losing network capability after having s-off.

I'm getting to Test 3 and I'm just getting dots.. adb / fastboot works fine for everything else (kernel flashes etc..) I'm running stock rooted 3.16 rom.. I don't see HTC Sync listed in my control panel to uninstall so I don't think that's the problem... Anyone have any advice?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Paulitics:
The dots aren't good, I didn't even have the dots on my successful round of moonshine. I did have the same issue with my moonshine the first time and fixed it by temporarily disabling avg. You're safe to close the command prompt (I was any way) and rebooting your phone during the dots.

You are good now though after using a 2.0 USB right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TODDzillaInLA:
i just did a fresh install and i still need at least 20 more seconds
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Correct. I thought I was using a 2.0 port to begin with but it turns out that it was a 3.0 port. The 2.0 port on my laptop wasn't working correctly so I ended up using a friend's laptop to get it done. I did not have the Android SDK installed.

Steps I took for a successful S-off:

Laptop running Windows

USB 2.0 port

HTC micro USB cable

HTC driver installed

Confirmed proper device settings and device connectivity via ADB & fastboot

Computer antivirus disabled

This was done on a rooted EVO LTE running MeanBean. Ran the program per the instructions (program was installed to the desktop instead of downloads). No issues during the 3 tests. During the "Moonshining" phase, once the phone booted to the ROM, I changed the connection type from Sync manager to disk drive, at which time the next Moonshining step would start. Moonshined roughly 4 times before the program completed.

Edit: This was for a fellow XDA'er, as my phone was already S-off via Lazy Panda:cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TODDzillaInLA:
the guys that got moonshine to work with viper rom, how did you get your phone to boot up fast enough? i went to the extreme of wiping everything flashing fresh install doing a custom install no demons no sense removing all apps and choosing nova launcher and it still does not boot fast enough
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mammothjojo88:
Answers to some of your Questions...

i just got my refurbished lte. so i wanted to s off it again

here is how you do it.

you will need the android sdk's

and the adb and fastboot drivers

you can download the HTC drivers also

first off you need to install the drivers

then you need to install the android SDK

after all that

then go ahead and unlock your bootloader and run the tool.

thats how it worked for me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drumwizard:
Idk, i just followed all the instructions, and ran the tool and it just booted up like normal. Also remember when u wipe cache/delvik cache, your phone takes longer to bootup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] casiouser:

hey guys i suggest backup your rom then flash or RUU your EVO to stock then do Moonshine i did it on stock non-rooted and it worked perfectly without having to go in every time it reboots to change from htc sync manager to mount drive.:good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] casmi:
Were you HTC unlocked? I'll give it a shot on stock ROM and relock if necessary. The default to HTC Sync at reboot is where I get stuck and step 3 fails.

You have to be HTC Dev unlocked to run Moonshine to begin with.
