Dan, long time no see. I haven't used it, so I can't be specific, but that IS the SW version others were using it for. When it gets to the S-off part, and links take you to dirty racun, 3.16 IS supported. 3.17 status is unknown, so don't take any OTA updates first.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Greenfieldan:
Yeah, it's been a long while since I've been around. I was starting to get out of the Android world because of real world obligations towards the end of my OG Evo's lifecycle. It, very regrettably, just burned out after a while (perhaps too much beta testing :D ). Anyhow, got the EVO LTE, rooted it, and haven't touched it in that sense since then! Thanks for the response! I've been reading up on the new LTE world (seems like HTC is really trying to screw people out of S-off since I achieved that nearly two years ago). Now there's touch panel versions (that I understand nothing about), new hboots, no one clicks. Old timers like me have a hard time getting back into these old-er devices!

Also, are there any issues with hboot 2.09? I assume I'll need to downgrade at some point?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
There is no need to downgrade your Hboot. Hit up the Hboot guide in my sig if you want to get caught up;)

Believe it or not Fin, I've actually read your write up while I was biking this evening. Very well done :good: . I'll actually be going back to it this weekend when I have time to root my phone, in case the rooting process references something I don't know. I'm mostly just researching right now and gathering resources for when I can sit down and root it.

My confusion is a bit more EVO LTE centric than general Android, I fear. Like, how can I check what touch screen I have/will it be compatible with AOSP ROMs, etc. Things of that nature. I feel like the search feature here has not gotten much better since I was more of the teacher! haha

Beta Test

Since this thread seems a little busier, could a few people test this beta version of the toolkit? It is the HTC One X+ version, but the EVO toolkit will have the same functionality included in the new update. Specifically see if the "My Phone" recognizes your phone and gives all of the correct information. Thanks!

Beta Test Completed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Thanks:thumbup:

As far as knowing what touch panel driver you have, it depends on your software version. If you're on 3.16 prior to rooting then you have the updated driver; if you're on an older software version then you don't have the updated driver. If you have the updated driver you must use TWRP 2.4 or newer, and you can only use ROM's based off software version 3.16 (or AOSP ROM's with the 3.4 kernel). You can downgrade the driver to the previous version if you're S-off.

3.17?

Does this tool unlock EVO LTE with 3.17? Should I have any concerns before attempting root?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
HTC dev unlock will unlock all hboots/firmware versions. Don't think anyone has tried S-OFF with 3.17 yet.

Stuck at the bootloader unlock step. After selecting the unlock .bin file, a couple of command prompt windows pop up, and after I close them, I get one saying the bootloader is unlocked, but it isn't. Any pointers?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] exSD:
Put your Unlock_code.bin in the same folder as WinDroid.exe is.

Hold shift and right click inside the WinDroid folder and click "Open command window here..."

Reboot your phone to the bootloader and select Fastboot (it will say Fastboot USB when it is connected).

Then in the command prompt use the following command: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

You will see the prompt on your screen and choose Yes.

Make sure you're on the latest firmware.

The tool worked perfectly up to the point that I tried to gain root. Once I clicked the Flash Supersu the application stopped working and now does not recognize that my phone is connected. HTC manager recognizes the phone, Im in debugging. I uninstalled the adb drivers and reinstalled the whole tool but nothing...any ideas how I screwed this up?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 7357:
I had the same issue. There were a couple things that I had to do manually using ADB and fastboot. In your case, TWRP will automatically install SuperSU for you. Just boot into recovery then go to Reboot - System. TWRP will say something like, "You do not have super user access, would you like to install SuperSU?". Say yes and you're golden.

PLEASE Help with trying to do custom rec and needs root. USB problems HTC Evo 4G Lte

Hi, Sorry- I'm a nubie and this may be long but I can't figure what I did wrong. I'm having a heck of a time in stage 2 (Custom rec) and gaining root. 1st set of instructions for getting the Token went fine and I registered myself and it seemed to open the bootloader because the Evo restarted and had a warning message about going on to open it for supersu- so I figured it was all set to do #2 step and make a custom recovery and it started ok and did some rebooting and restarted BUT THEN it just got STUCK on the bootloader screen (no battery to do a pull and the vol up and down did not move the menu options for changing any bootloader options like say fastboot.. it just seemed to be stuck/froze. I finally got it to reboot trying different botton sequences demonstrated by others on youtube thank heavens. I suppose I'm either just that dumb to try to figure out when to let go or something really was froze..?lol, but after a few trys I got it to reboot. Nothing was wiped and it seemed like normal. I thought the data would be wiped. I replugged to my pc's usb port and tried to just go on to the Root procedure. That started out ok too...it did load Supersu on the internal card (there was NO ext SD card cuz this phone was has no history of orig. owner. It went thru quite a few hands and my son said if I wanted it for a extra phone for rooted apps and wifi texting/calling extra that it was still in good shape to use. It has no data plan. I used the windroid univ. toolkit during the time it had no ext sd. Could that of caused a problem? So lastly, it said I was rooted because the program went through the steps but I did root check app and it's NOT. I tried to install Supersu from the new sd card but it won't let me-says no root. So here's where I'm stuck-I thought I'd hook it up to the Win un tool prog again and now when I plug in the usb it can't find drivers now! I tried many things to reload the usb/abd drivers and NOTHING works! I even tried to change usb format to MTP device and all it can do is see folders. When I try to do a 'fix drivers' it gets to the stage and then pulls up a big white page saying in the corner 403 Forbidden....what the?? I've read something about a update the phone may have done called HBoot? The phone is continually giving errors with data etc...it won't even let me load google voice or dialer. Please-please, ANY help would be greatly appreciated--or if no one has time to guide me through this please send me to some forums/help guides that can help me reset the usb drivers-I'm not sure if I have S-off or not... p.s. I rooted my Gal S3 with NO problem so I was frustrated when things went so bad on this nice HTC. THANKS a TON :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KingFatty:
Maybe provide more specific information.

You mention the problem was at custom recovery. Which custom recovery were you trying to install, and how did you try to install it?

You might be able to just install the custom recovery using another method. I successfully installed the TWRP custom recover which has been customized by captian throwback. It's a special version that can understand the EVO 4G LTE, so maybe you used an ordinary version that was not customized for this specific phone?

Can you help me figure out how I can get twrp working and find a ROM that I can put on (I hate bloatware and would really like a fast Rom with no goodies on it. I have 2 big apps I need to keep running a lot and don't care to get all the other apps-this isn't my main cell phone. I love it though and who knows-maybe I will change up if this goes well.

My computer isn't responding to the MTP device driver...I tried my other win 7 computer in my office and it looked like it was going to recognize my HTC and then--no go...same MTP device software was not successfully installed.

So where do I go from here? I told the TWRP to 'back up' and it did but I have no OS/Rom to flash and not even sure I can get the computer to even let me use TWRP. I'm using a mobile TWRP that the winDroid put on it. Supersu never installed either. Not rooted.

Is there a download link for the special version of TWRP PC version that is for my HTC EVO??

THANKS BUNCHES!!! So sorry to bug you! I really appreciate any help :)

The above is an image file, so it will require fastboot to flash. I'm not sure if the Toolkit allows you to select a custom recovery image to flash. If not, I'm sure a search will yield results on how to fastboot flash a recovery.

And if you're having driver issues, make you you've installed the latest HTC Sync Manager (if you don't want to use the software, you can immediately uninstall it afterwards - the HTC drivers will remain).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KingFatty:
Yeah if you are unlocked and able to get into TWRP already on your phone (from what it sounds like you were able to boot into and use TWRP and its backup functionality), then it's just a matter of making sure you have this special version of TWRP covnenently provided by Captain. So, you simply have to do again whatever you did to get the first version of TWRP on your phone, except use this special version. Just redo the recovery installation portion, but use this TWRP version.

Then, you can just manually copy the ROM zip files to your sdcard and install them using TWRP, and it will now work instead of failing. I think you are almost there.

Hi Captain :)

I sure had a hard time getting my reply to go-it kept trying to give me a image to verify but it never loaded..java maybe?? I'm on another laptop this time. I've been trying to contact u since 5a. Yesterday, I worked on trying to get my main PC drivers (win 7 64bit) and windows updates fixed because some of the problems are coming from Sprint/HTC and my unlocked bootloader. and possibly a accidental HBoot update after the Windroid software was run that I may have given permission to without realizing the security is now stopping me from using or being recognized as HTC or sync..abd drivers and sdk drivers. I even tried to restore my PC to a early time before downloading the Evo and any software from it but it is not working either. I tried windows update but there are a few critical updates that won't finish installing. I've scanned for bugs and I'm at a loss now how to get the Evo connected to the PC to even run your new Twrp CD...hey- how do I run it? Should I burn it literally to a CD with say Astroburn --? Or do I just open the zip and install the CD software? Sorry for such dumb questions. I guess I still got a LOT to learn..lol and I super dooper appreciate all you have done already--and KingFatty also has tried to help me. You guys are GREAT! One last question...I have this new micro usb converter to usb plug in thing right to my phone. It reverses so the phone can connect say a mouse or just that it has a usb port (like a 'on the go' plug) it wasn't cheap due to it also came with a 16g built in flashdrive. The package did say something to the effect that it's great for Rom Flashing..so not sure but could this little bugger maybe get me connected some other way??? Can't wait to hear back!! Thanks TONS!!! :D P.S. T-H-A-N-K-S again for the new TWRP cd file!!! I really appreciate it Cap!
