I'm going to guess I did something wrong or something isn't working. I am on pouring 2 with several lines of dots and my phone just keeps rebooting. I'm using Mean Bean currently which I thought was a close to stock ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
MeanBean is a 3.16-based ROM. If you're only up to that update, you can use Moonshine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] guitarman584:
Ok, thanks! I'll have to give it another shot. It was doing basically the same thing for me last weekend.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] poor-soul!:
Works Great!!!!

Successfully ran this program and now s-off on 3.17. Thanks Beanups. Installed Captain Throwbacks 3.17 rom (Thanks Captain) and uninstalled my antivirus system and closed all unecessary windows and programs and removed all usb devices and all other usb drivers from my computer, mounted phone as disk drive and viola!!! s-off attained. Thanks again to every dev and contributor who made this program possible. Now...got to get ya'll some six-packs!!:laugh:

Installer gets stuck

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and SharkieRom lite, unlocked and rooted. When I go through the steps for rumrunner it gets to the first warning and asks me to enter Yes/No

I enter: yes and hit enter, and it just keeps repeating the Yes/No portion. I can't seem to get past it, adb and fastboot work without issue, phone is definitely connected properly. I have tried running under sudo and with root access, neither get me past that warning. Any ideas on what I need to do?

Also, don't have any AV program installed.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mvmacd:
From the website: "Also, the prerequisites have changed a bit. We now support rooted devices (locked BL is fine, as long as you have root) and also custom roms."

Does this mean I can S-OFF while on CM11? I ran the latest RUU [as of a week or 2 ago] so I have the latest hboot/radio etc, but have since flashed CM11 and have all my apps installed/restored, and I'd rather not flash Sense.

someone please let me know.

I'm thinking about s-off'ing, I've never done it, always just used fastboot to flash boot after a rom install, but since I don't plan to sell it anytime soon [custom flashed to pageaplus, because of bad esn on sprint], I figure what the heck? why not make my life a little easier.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gdrocks:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
Just for s&g did you try a different USB cord/port? Everytime I got this error was because of a connection. I fought with rumrunner for days on my friend's phone. Wouldn't work no matter what I did. Tried in win 7 and elementary os (dual booting on my laptop) rumrunner just wouldn't work. Finally I got tired of it and used firewater in elementary and it worked on the first bottle.

Ok I flashed it but nothing shows up in the ap drawer and I looked under Settings -> Apps nothing shows up so I am not sure if it is installed or not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
It won't show up in your app drawer. You'll have to use a file manager app like Root Explorer to make sure it's installed. The filepath is system/bin. Busybox should be installed there.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nohart:
I found it here - system/xbin let me try to s-off again...

No joy :( One thing I noticed is that when it gets to this point -

Test 2: Booting device

Waiting for ADB (50/120)

My computer says installing drivers... then a pop up says failed to install drivers...

So I am not sure what is wrong. I have adb installed (I ran - "adb devices" and it shows my phone) , superSU (set to grant), busybox so I cant seem to figure it out. I have done everything else, all that is left is to s-off and install a rom

On this page - http://rumrunner.us/ it says in step 3 Install su binary I am not sure what that means as I have step 4 superuser installed (superSU)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
The su binary was installed when you installed SuperSU in recovery or with the app itself. It's also located in system/bin if you want to verify that it's there.

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nohart:
Ok su along with busybox is in system/xbin

Maybe I should try some other way to get S-OFF not sure what works now days with Hboot: 2.09.0000 and Build: 3.17.651.4 71ORD it wasn't so difficult on my first phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
Try firewater.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nohart:
http://firewater-soff.com/

Just tried it and it scared the hell out of me! I thought I bricked my phone. It only got to the chugging a bottle part and then just hung or timed out then went back to the command prompt beginning and my phone was black. I unplugged and I had to hold down the power button for over 60 seconds a couple of times and then it came back to life but no S-OFF :( I'm almost afraid to try it again...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
I believe I am in the same boat as this gentleman, I just tried firewater and had the exact same result after the first bottle.

My phone is rooted with busybox, BL unlocked and TWRP 2.6.3, also running stock 3.17.651.4, and I haven't been able to get it to s-off with either rumrunner or firewater. Here's the result from rumrunner 0.5.0 running on Windows 7 x64 with correct drivers (and no HTCsync):

I guess re-locking and having to re-root.

I'm not new at this I have done this to 4 phones over the years its just that the last time I did it was about 3 years ago and practically forgot 80% lol I appreciate your help. I'll get this done eventually. I was trying since 8:30 today to s-off and it just wont go on this phone they sent me with stock ROM.

That's where I got the link from...I can 100% guarantee you don't need to be s-off for the RUU, since I just got the phone last week and still haven't managed it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You don't have to be S-off to update to version .4. The RUU is straight from HTC-Yankees just downloaded it and uploaded it to AFH so everyone could use it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nohart:
hmm ok well I tried to use it and it failed. Do I have to re-lock first? Because it didn't work on my phone. It says in the first post "You MUST BE S-OFF to complete this process"?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
I believe so, as when I had it unlocked it didn't work for me. Re-locked, rebooted and turned on USB debugging and worked like a charm
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
If you are not S-off, you will have to relock your bootloader first. fastboot oem lock
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
Le sigh...well, tried again with the exact same results. That is, upped to 4.13.651.4, rooted, unlocked BL, installed busybox and TWRP, and rumrunner still had a fatal "download updated package" error, while firewater kicked me out of adb shell after the first bottle.

UPDATE: I finally achieved s-off with rumrunner after I uninstalled security essentials, disabled the firewall and ran soju as administrator...so there you go, this program must be using some serious black magic :)

Devs I'm throwing a few bucks your way for the hard work. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nohart:
Ok I want to thank everyone! I got the RUU installed that CaptainThrowback made reference to. What an awesome ROM! Its like a new phone! Now I just have to unlock bootloader and install TWRP. Should I run TWRP 2.7.0.4b? Right now recovery comes up as a red exclamation mark. Then I will try this s-off again...

For anyone needing help I had to relock only I didnt have to make any changes to Microsoft Security Essentials or my Firewall. The process took about 15 min for me...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
Yes you must run the modified Twrp from Captain's thread.

Guys, I'm not sure if anybody has said this in the thread, but for me the latest official Sense ROM [Sense 4] for the Jewel didn't work when I tried to s-off with Rumrunner on 64-bit Linux [with 32-bit binaries].

It said I had to flash an insecure kernel, or try a different ROM. Only reason I was on Sense was cause I had to flash my phone's data [PagePlus]. So I flashed back to CM10.2 [The latest stable CM for the jewel, at least the latest stable one I found] along with flashing the default boot.img, then I was able to successfully S-OFF my jewel. :)

I can't believe how easy it is to switch back to full stock, or CM10.2 just by restoring a nandroid and not worrying about boot.img anymore! :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hevyrockerdk:
Sometimes it's the weirdest things that determine success or failure. Welcome to the wonderful world of S-OFF!

Just used this method for my latest ELTE, but couldn't get it to work on Windows 7. Wound up using a live USB of Ubuntu, and it worked like a charm after that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpaulien:
Woo Hoo! I just got S-OFF with rumrunner. Wasn't too hard. Took about 4 tries, between yesterday and today, but I finally got everything figured out...

At first, When I read that we had to have HTC Sync uninstalled, I thought that it was a program on the computer. So I went looking everywhere I could for it, and couldn't find it anywhere! I figured that probably had something to do with it not working. And every time I my phone booted back in for its ADB session, a pop up would come up saying something about HTC Sync. Finally I read the message, and it said something about HTC Sync being on the phone, so I thought Ah HA! I went in and froze everything that had HTC and SYNC in the name, and tried again. Got a little further, but still failed, so I checked the thread, and realized... Oh yeah, they said I can't have my AntiVirus running either. So I disabled that, tried again, and SUCCESS!!!

So I have officially joined the ranks of S-OFF and can now start checking out some alternate ROMs.

Anyway, thank you for this thread, and the guidance that it provided. And thank you for the relatively simple (to use) program that gave me S-OFF... So, Now to start looking at what I want to run... I'm curious about the newer Sense ROMs, but I also really just like plain old AOSP, so I'll probably try a couple of each, and see what works best for me.

Thanks again, I'll probably be in a couple of the other ROM threads asking stupid questions. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
For the record, HTC Sync IS a program on the computer. The files on the phone are irrelevant if the program isn't installed. The antivirus program was more likely the reason it wasn't working.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CornDogg:
I was able to successfully get S-OFF with Rumrunner on 64-bit Windows Vista after having updated to 3.17.651.5. HTC Dev unlocked and flashed the CM 10.2 Stable build from get.cm. Took a few attempts, but it finally worked after temporarily disabling AV and running soju as Administrator. I had to coax it along a couple of times by toggling fastboot when in the bootloader in order to get fastboot USB or by toggling USB debugging for adb.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Schultz.y:
SUCCESS! I'm letting you all know that this works on the NEWEST OTA update 3.17.651.5 (it's a Heartbleed patch) on the HTC Evo 4G LTE using the latest bootloader and everything. I got the phone HTCdev unlocked using WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2499926) and then procceeded to get s-off by using rumrunner. It took a couple of tries, make sure your phone is rooted and have a recovery flashed (via WinDroid Toolkit mentioned above), and don't forget to grant SU control to any applications along the way. Nice instructions, even did this while throwing down a few beers haha (this is not my first time around the block). Thanks to some awesome devs, I was able to breathe some new life into an old phone (in technological years).
