Thanks for the advice, Captain. Sadly, I need root access and giving up root is not an option. I would still like to have Knox if there comes a method to have both. Will patiently be waiting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
You will be waiting along time, knox's purpose is secure phone, and root is to unsecure phone. Knox will never work with root.

Hi, I upgraded to the 4.3 yesterday and lost my root then I re rooted my at@t s3 i747 and it was working then all of a sudden it stopped and now this stupid security policy is blocking everything. I've tried everything to stop it. I tried to re root it and it still didn't work and apparently I lost root access, I used the chainfire autoroot with stock recovery. Does anyone know how to root the 4.3 and keep the stock recovery just like the root I used before. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ChesterD:
Little research could have provided you with the answer. Right now it looks like there is no permanent root. Once root is lost there doesn't seem to be any way to get it back. It may take some time for a solution to be found.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] quattroa430:
Hello all, I tried searching but if I missed the thread please point me to it. I was able to unlock the bootloader using HTC Dev but I cant seem to install TWRP. Am I missing a step or something? I am running an HTC Evo 4G LTE on 3.17. I tried putting the PJ75IMG.zip in the root of the sd card but when restarted in the bootloader it read it and said main version is older. I tried using goomanager to download and install but that didnt work either. Am i doing something wrong here? Thanks in advance guys (and girls)!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
fastboot flash it :D PJ75IMG.zip will only work if you are S-OFF

Put the .img file in the folder you are using to run the commands from.

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] quattroa430:
OK. So fastboot is the best method. Then I can install super user correct? I dont HAVE to install a ROM if i dont want to correct? I can just run stock root? If I wanted to install a ROM would I need to be S-OFF? or could I install one while still being S-ON? It has been quite some time since I rooted a phone. Last phone was the Samsung Epic 4G. What a terrible phone. Thanks and sorry for so many questions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
I personally use fastboot to install twrp then when you want/need to update twrp you can fastboot flash again or use goomanager from the playstore.

You can install SuperSU and run stock rooted or flash a custom rom which has superuser added

As for flashing roms you can flash them while s-on it's just more work because you have to fastboot flash the kernel/boot.img then flash the rom.

I always recommend S-OFF as it will save you the extra steps in flahing roms and also if you mess something up you can flash an older RUU if the most current RUU is not available.
[MENTION=4738854]FinZ28[/MENTION] has a great guide explaining how to flash the kernel/boot.img
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] quattroa430:
OK, so now the question becomes what method for S-OFF should I use? I would like to be able to make it look like I never rooted the phone if need be if at all possible. I heard good things about rumrunner for 3.17. am i correct that this would be the best method or is there a better one? again sorry its been too long and this is my first HTC root.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Since you are on 3.17 rumrunner is the only method you can use :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] quattroa430:
OK so first install TWRP then SU then S-OFF? also i factory reset my phone the other day and now on some apps I have this weird menu bar at the bottom. it happens on my facebook app and bank app. it doesnt show up in Kik or play or sms apps. any ideas? i would like to remove that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Yes unlock your bootloader if you have not already

Install twrp

Flash SU

Then S-OFF(make sure you read all the pre-requisetes before starting rumrunner

As fo the weird menu it may disappear if you flash a custom rom
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] quattroa430:
Ok so I came across another issue. I cant seem to get busybox to install. I would like to install cyanogenmod 10 and qbking mentions needing s-off to do so. Is that correct? It is a bit of a pain being on 3.17 but I guess there isnt much I can do. Any advice for installing busybox? Thanks again
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
I successfully installed Busybox on 3.17 last night. As far as having to be S-off to flash CM, no, you don't have to be, but it makes life easier. Hit the top link in my sig and read my Hboot guide if you haven't already done so.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] quattroa430:
I read your hboot guide. Very informative. Rumrunner requires busybox and for whatever reason I cannot install busybox. Could you possibly eexplain what choices you made that worked? I tried installing to bin and xbin. Should I install to a custom location instead? If so where should I? I would like to be s-off and have cyanogen lol. Thanks again guys!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
I'm not really sure what to tell you since I was already S-off when I installed it. Where did you read that it was required prior to running Rumrunner?

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] quattroa430:
It was on the pocketables website. search "rumrunner HTC EVO 4g LTE" everytime I seem to try to install busybox my phone crashes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Are you running just the stock rooted factory rom?

You could try Captain_Throwbacks 3.17 rooted rom or SharkieRom 3.17
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Try this. Its a TWRP flashable zip of the latest Busybox (v1.20.2). See if that straightens things out with your issue. Make sure you have a backup handy just in case.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/g16xuqbzbmzz8yz/busybox-signed.zip

You can use a file manager like Root Explorer and go to /system/xbin/ and look to make sure you see the Busybox file. If it's there you're good to go:thumbup: (I did not develop the Busybox file-I simply took the file and make it into a flashable zip. Big thanks to Rootlinux for showing me how it's done).

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] quattroa430:
Worked like a charm. Busybox is installed right where you said it should be. Now to run rumrunner and gain s-off. Thank you guys for all the help and support thus far!

WTF: What are you doing?

Idk what I am doing wrong here. I couldnt even get it to work right using windows so I had to break out the laptop.

It gets to that point every time then fails and reboots the phone.

Software version: 3.17.651.4

Android Version: 4.1.1

Kernal Version: 3.4.10-gf5d846c

Is there anything else needed to help figure this out? Tis getting a wee bit frustrating. Can I S-OFF off if i flash cyanogen or any other rom?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] quattroa430:
Tried running Captain_Throwbacks stock rooted 3.17 and got the same result at the same exact point while running rumrunner. Going to try Sharkie next. Any tips are greatly welcomed!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Don't have much to offer since I haven't used Rumrunner. Having said that, make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port and not 3.0, and that you're using a fairly stock Sense ROM. Also make sure that you're phone is recognized with both ADB & Fastboot. Seems most of the issues I've seen have to do with the connection. If it fails, try try again. You also might want to check out the Rumrunner thread in original development.

Just a thought, but have you looked at your bootloader and made sure that you're still S-on? Reason I ask is because on Moonshine the "WTF: What are you doing?" message actually meant that the process was successful. Not sure if Rumrunner is the same.

According to a thread I saw somewhere there should be 4 "pouring" stages:

All Done, hope you enjoyed the rum!

My phone is still s-on when I check the bootloader.

Tried it on stock rooted

captain_throwbacks stock rooted 3.17

and SharkieRom v2.5.1 S-ON

it is running from native 32 bit linux and works with the fastboot and ADB commands that rumrunner uses. I attempted on windows but it never got past the second "waiting for ADB"

at least running Linux got me further than that. Maybe I will try it with a different cable, dunno if that will make any sort of difference as everything works up until the first pouring. Every post I see that mentions rumrunner is for the HTC One for verizon.

I will post updates tomorrow but I think i will check out the original development thread.

Tried it with a different cable. Same exact results =(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] quattroa430:
Should I try to flash the boot.img file first?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cloud628:
hmm, cap is on tighter than I expected……..

hell, that damn cap is on REALLY tight…….

unfortunately this isn’t going to work out with your configuration. you have 2

options:

1.) flash an unsecure kernel that’s compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner

(preferred and most reliable method).

2.) flash a different rom.

NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk’s is going to fix thi

s issue for you!!!.

Better luck next time!!!!bye

Anyone have an idea on how to get past this? I am running stock sense rom, should be stock kernal too. I just recieved the 4.4 OTA update a few days ago.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] quattroa430:
also do I need to flash gapps if / when I do install CM?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Yes. Flash the kernel from fastboot, then boot into recovery and flash the ROM. Once you flash the ROM, flash GAPPS and reboot.

Ok. So when I extract the boot.img do I leave a copy in the .zip? also where can I find GAPPS for the jewel?

Just FYI - TWRP has a built in flash SU feature - if you flash TWRP, then goto reboot - it will detect SU is not installed on your device and ask if you want to flash it. Your system will reboot, the latest binary will download, reboot once again (via SuperSU) and you're rooted.

I want to send my HOX to HTC-Repair Service.

How can i get i back to stock?

I think i need a nandroid backup version. Im on 4.17.111.3 and thats T-Mobile branding. I only find nandroid backups for 3.x version.

Im S-ON.

First of all you should have made one yourself, second of all this is the wrong section to ask. There is a Q+A section for these things.

First one. White 32gb. And I have one dead pixel.everything else is great. Its not too noticeable and I'm sure there are people out there with worse that do not know.

My question is would you send it back over one if everything else is good and you're happy? To possibly get a worse device?

And if I kept it. My one year warranty can't I send it back and rma on the 11th month if I really wanted?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrFishiz:
Hell yea I would send a new device back over a dead pixel, you shouldn't have dead pixel.

Contact google about RMA asap, don't compromise about the level of quality of your device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
With the amount of pixels in these phones its very likely you will get at least one dead pixel. If it really bothers you that much then go ahead and RMA it. Most likely though you will get another device with 1 or more dead or stuck pixels.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skttrbrain:

well you paid for a 100% perfect device

surely go for RMA
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
This is something you could do of course. I would keep it if it werent near the middle of the screen myself but I would also factor in things such as CPU binning, as well as any other defects like the vibration motor. Don't know how common that is since I haven't visited that thread for a while but if I had a near perfect device with a high CPU binning and the pixel wasn't very noticeable I would accept it. If i had a cruddy CPU binning in i would certainly send it in hoping for a perfect screen and high binning. Its a surprise Google RMAs devices with 1 dead pixel. Most displays have a certain threshold that must be reached and its usually higher than 3.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neejay:
