My white Nexus was on top of my car didn't look twice and stepped on the gas pretty hard ... it flew unperfectly and slid almost 20 feet saw it in the rearview mirror DAMN! picked it up it was perfect!

My red one tumbled down a complete set of cement stairs last month: again picked it up it was PERFECT! (not the case with the screen protector did its job and took the hit)

SO WHATS THE TRICK? You may ask...

After months of scientifical studies and not so proven research, some expensive case and skins and a couples cosmetical and functional repairs on my N5's here are the results:

More for less...

Cheap soft TPU case and very important

tempered hard glass

screen protector!

Found easy breezy on eBay or if your kinda cheap and ain't afraid of Aliexpress like me:

R.I.P All the lost and dead devices , except for the apples they can rot, sorry for your N5 ... even more sorry that you had to downgrade! But Moto G seems like the better option at this pricepoint best of luck with that!

Did either of you actually buy from that link, if so, which version did you receive, the matte black frame, black speaker or gloss black frame white speaker?
[Nexus 5 General] Ltdrev:
Got mine from them:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs...er-Assembly-Frame-Replacement/1906484249.html

It is matte black with black speaker mesh , now my white N5 looks like a black one with a white battery door BUT sides are softer and speaker mesh is always looking clean ;)
[Nexus 5 General] usaff22:
Could you post a couple of pics? Is the front earpiece white too? I have a white one, and was wondering what it would look like if I got a black frame.
[Nexus 5 General] Lets Assume:
I remember the first time I dropped my N5. About 2 feet off of tile, it shattered horribly. I got a new one, and I couldn't even tell you how many times I've dropped it. Garage floor, tile, asphalt, anything. This one doesn't shatter. (Hopefully I didn't just jinx that.)

I didn't have a case on when it fell the first time, or any of the other times I dropped my second N5. Today, I came across my Spigen SlimArmor case and decided to put it on. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Ltdrev:
You can keep your white mesh for the earpiece you just have to change it! But I'm my situation it was always pushing dirt when cleaning it so I kept the cleaner lookin black in...

Your white has a black frame too it's just glossy plastic instead of rubbery soft material like the black N5

I'll edit and post pics later it's the holidays and i'd have to sneak past the sleeping kids to take a picture, I'm not willing to risk it now; too early to wake em up I'm not crazy! :sly:

Hello to all.

I have not rooted a phone in quite a while, since the original Evo. Here's the rundown of what I've been experiencing lately:

I unlocked the bootloader using the HTC dev method, it went smooth. To obtain s-off (I was on the latest OTA of 3.17.651.5), I attempted rumrunner. Everything went fine until I got an error with rumrunner. I then tried the windroid toolkit, flashed TWRP (v2.7.1.0) which was a success. When I flashed superuser from windroid, it rebooted me to recovery to flash the zip file "superuser.zip", but it did nothing. I looked on this forum and found a supersu zip file. I tried flashing a couple versions of the supersu (1.25, 2.01) but no luck. For every one I attempted to flash, I would get the message that said successful but no s-off. After confirming the flash, it would say "flashing file 1 of 1", but then switch to saying "flashing file 1 of 0". I ended up flashing a rom (CM11-20131217), which put the phone into a bootloop (I got this resolved by downgrading to TWRP 2.6.3.0, flashing the kernel for the CM11, then flashing the rom, which of course still kept me S-on.)

So basically, I have an unlocked bootloader, with TWRP 2.6.3.0 as a recovery, on CM11-20131217 build, yet I'm still S-on. Is there a certain version of supersu or superuser that I should be flashing? How can I achieve S-off?

Additional information that may help:

You have to run Rumrunner again. But flash stock rooted before you do (I don't know if it'll work while on CM).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] certifiedkj:
Thanks for the quick reply. I will give that a shot, hope it does work. Is there a certain version of that I should flash before running rumrunner again?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
The newest version that will flash would be best:good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] certifiedkj:
Okay, thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] certifiedkj:
After getting some time here and there, I attempted to flash a few stock rooted roms with no luck. I'm not sure if it's because of the rom that I am currently on. not s-off or what. A lot of the stock root roms I do find have a requirement that you must be s-off to flash. I even tried running RUU's (4.13.651.4 and 3.17.651.4) for specific roms, but they gave me errors and would not continue each time. I remember when rooting and gaining s-off was much simpler than this lol. I don't even know if it is worth continuing to keep trying.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Check the link below for a ROM that is S-on friendly. Make sure you follow the directions in the thread to get it installed. Once you've done this you can go for S-off, at which time you should be able to flash whatever ROM you'd like.

Thanks for that! It worked with meanbean. I ran rumrunner again and it gave me an error, saying something about an update on rumrunner.us. I gave firewater a shot, and after it said "the first bottle is open...chugging", the screen stays blank for a while and firewater instructs me to try again and ends the process. From what I read last night around my searches, I'm supposed to get a notification on the evo asking for superuser permission but that didn't happen. I'm guessing this is due to the wrong supersu being flashed.

Glad I got a little further, I'm just going to play around with it until something gives and I am s-off
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
There's a setting in the su app that will let you grant su access to all apps automatically and without a prompt. That should get rid of that problem.

I wouldn't go with those settings for any other purpose though, obviously.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] certifiedkj:
I went into the SuperSU app and selected where the default access was set to grant. I ran firewater again with the normal method and weaksauce method with no luck, it's still doing the same thing. USB debugging is on, and the drivers are installed correctly as well.

Weaksauce is an exploit for Verizon phones that can't be unlocked with HTC Dev so it's pointless to try it on the EVO LTE.

Also, while you need htc sync manager to unlock your boot loader, it usually really screws with any other adb tools, so uninstall that too.

This. Also make sure you're using USB 2.0 ports, as 3.0 ports can cause connectivity issues.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niavaran:
First thing is that in order to run any RUU device boot loader must be 're-locked to do this enter into fastboot plug in to pc and within your Android unlocker folder that u use to unlock your device hold shift and right click anywhere in the folder to open command window then type : fastboot oem lock . This will lock the bootloader, now you will be able to run RUU. Just keep in mind that you may only go up Android versions levels ,, running RUU will stabilize your device and fixes the sectors which u may have damaged during the moding in the RAM .. Now for obtaining S-OFF the only option for you (since u upgraded) is to use DirtyRacun witch uses Ubuntu Live CD method and it does work. ***Now, if you just want unlocked bootloader with SU permission so u can flash rooms (not firmware or radio) and don't care about S-OFF then let me know to show you the options available at this time .. I repeat *you may only go up in android versions , in case that is necessary to go down then you need to deal with the CID. By switching and modifying the CID only then you are allowed to downgrade the Android Build versions
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Dirty Racun isn't the only option for S-off:rolleyes:

He's already unlocked his bootloader and has root. He's on the latest firmware version for the old partition layout: it's well-documented that methods like Rumrunner work.

OP, here's the thread for Rumrunner. I suggest giving it a read:thumbup:

Thanks, I will look at that now. I tried disabling the antivirus as stated above and that didn't work either, so maybe this thread will give more detail to help me gain S-off.

Sorry for the late reply. Correct, I'm using mean bean. I'm using wifi while doing all of this, my service provider is AT&T.

Excuse my ignorance but but how did you get sprints HTC evo 4g LTE codename jewel to work on at&t. I didn't know you could do that. (hint: are you sure you have the right phone? )

Anyways. As long as its an HTC it should be fine right? The problem would be the same.

Oh, I'm with Sprint, I was referring to using the wifi from my AT&T router. Sorry for the confusion lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Linux guy:
Haha i thought everything i knew was a lie for a bit :D

A program may be interfering in windows. Maybe try clean profile. Worth a shot. I'm on Linux and firewater runs and finishes fine but doesn't lead to results. And rumrunner always fails. I don't even try on windows. When I did it didn't even get half way. I'll give it a go in the morning.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Greenfieldan:
I'm stuck in the same boot. Hboot 3.09 unlocked and rooted but can't get s-off via rumrunner.

Not gonna lie, I just miss AOSP. Is there a way there an AOSP ROM that I can flash while being S-On and on the old hboot version? It doesn't have to be the newest and greatest, I'm just tired of Sense :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Have you considered just running the RUU to update to the new layout, and then trying to S-OFF with Rumrunner? It's confirmed to be working on the Android 4.3 stock ROM.

Then at least if you can't get it working, you can still flash all the AOSP ROMs that use the new partition layout (though you'll have to fastboot flash the boot image).

P.S. You will have to relock (fastboot oem lock) in order for the 4.13.651.4 RUU to run successfully on your device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Greenfieldan:
I'm not familiar with running RUUs. Would that upgrade my hboot to 3.10?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You mean 2.10 (your current HBOOT is 2.09), and yes, it would.

A ROM Update Utility (RUU) is just a program run from a Windows PC (7 or XP preferred) that will install a ROM update to your device while connected via USB (2.0 preferred).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Hit the top link in my sig. Scroll down to the section on RUU's. There are instructions there on how to run the RUU. At the bottom of the same thread there is a link to the latest RUU (4.13.651.4). Before running the RUU make sure you back up your internal storage on your computer, as the RUU will wipe it clean (your external SD card, if installed, won't be affected).

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Greenfieldan:
Looking around got me to this thread. I see he has instructions for this process (useful, as I have no knowledge with this). He eventually points you to a viperRUU thread that requires S-off in order to use. Wouldn't this be a road block to me?

Back in the OG EVO days (from what I can recall), all I needed to upgrade my hboot was a renamed file -similar to the Jewel's PJ75IMG and to boot into my bootloader.

Other than pictures that I might want to keep, is there anything else I should absolutely backup? There's a lot of old crap on there and I'd rather not spend a few hours backing up the entire internal drive if at all possible.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
No. Any TWRP backups you may have on your internal storage will be useless once you use the RUU to upgrade. If you use Titanium Backup for anything and it's on your internal storage I recommend moving it to external storage. Beyond this I can't think of anything else.

At this point, I've tried many ways around. I'm just doing different combinations of things, something should give soon. I've noticed though, that since going to meanbean, my firmware version dropped from 3.17.651.5 to 3.16.651.3; this is according to the android app "got root?". I gave moonshine a try and actually got pretty far, but after rebooting 10 times, it says "don't drive and shine". May be ports issues or such, I'm just playing around with it until something gives.

As mentioned in another thread, you might consider running the .4 RUU to update to 4.3 sense 5. Then running rumrunner or firewater which are confirmed working. Then you'll be S-off with the new partition layout. The majority of remaining development for this device is based on the new layout. Just remember, you'll have to relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock) before running the RUU. Then just re-root and install updated TWRP recovery built specifically for the new layout and then run one of the S-off exploits mentioned. Good luck either way.

Life IS good with the LG G3 LGSL990
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] certifiedkj:
Oh okay. So would I still be using rumrunner to obtain S-off, or moonshine like I'm doing now?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] certifiedkj:
Are you referring to this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47503288&postcount=6 RUU? I've tried running it before I got meanbean and it failed on me.

And you're sure you relocked before running it?

Success! I now have an unlocked bootloader and am S-OFF! Tomorrow would have made it exactly 2 weeks since I started the rooting process lol. After relocking the bootloader, I ran the RUU, then unlocked the bootloader again. I then flashed the TWRP using fastboot, went in recovery and flashed supersu, then I booted into android and went into the supersu app and changed the setting to grant automatically, then ran rumrunner and success!

That's great [MENTION=5958180]certifiedkj[/MENTION] . me on the other hand, I get stuck when I try to relock it. I run fasboot oem lock and it locks but I can't boot anything past the boot loader. I get a security warning. And I have to re unlock it. I give up ^ ^ I only wanted to do s off for du but I'll just do it the hard way. There is a silver lining because I think I might have found a fix for that terrible WiFi bug :D at least for me. Thanks to all from me as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] certifiedkj:
After I relocked the bootloader, I kept the phone connected to the PC and stayed in the bootloader and ran the RUU from there (it's going to reboot into the bootloader anyways. It took about 10-15 minutes. You should be able to get past the bootloader after you flash the RUU that way. After that, go back into the bootloader and flash the Unlock_code.bin if you still have it on your SD card, flash the TWRP and give rumrunner another shot.

The RUU and everything else needed, you can find here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47503288. I flashed the rom in that post for the time being, but everything is working great.

After you relock, you have to run the RUU. There is no RUU for Linux. If you're running Windows 8.1 it can be an issue, but if you run the RUU from a 7 or XP machine it should work fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Linux guy:
Yeah I didn't think so but I saw someone said there was.
