Can I take the ota if I'm rooted with s-off revolutionary?? Sorry if it's been asked I looked but didn't see it..
Sent from my six shooter in 3d using using Tapatalk
No, don't take the OTA. It will load a locked bootloader. You can flash the stock rom and firmware that contains the update. You can find them in the development area.

By the way, its hard to find things in this forum by just looking. Best to use the search function, next time.
Thanks man don't have computer and searching a pain on phone sorry... Thanks for info..

If you want to root and remain rooted.....Don't ever take OTA updates. Our rom developers will always post roms built off the latest updates as well as radio, pri, and wimax updates that are safe to flash from bootloader.

I lost my root on the last OTA and since there are still no new method to re root on this new version might as well wait till the JB update. I think by Mid August / Sept we can see the new OTA to JB

There is a thread that I used after the OTA by xHausx that brought back r00t for me flawlessly, and I used HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader?

I almost tried this until I read the following ~ I wanted the fixes in the latest OTA:
"Successful in rooting all builds up to 1.13.651.1."
It works for 1.22. It unlocks your phone and installs twrp. You just have to flash chainfires 0.94 superuser to be fully rooted

Wait, this is getting confusing. We should always be able to unlock thru htcdev on this phone no matter the firmware update. Achieving S-OFF is not yet possible on hboot 1.15, so, that's what some of us are hoping to have...

Yes, S-OFF on hboot 1.15 is a work-in-progress, perhaps with a future Lazy Panda exploit.
I believe the original user's requirement was root and unlocked on the current OTA.
These are HTC phones. You can always use HTC dev as a last resort. We will always have root.
Also, don't accept otas if your rooted or ever plan on rooting.

What do you get from being s-off? I'm htc dev unlock with s on and I've been able to run every rom with no problem and able to update my radio?

Believe that s-on with the new hboot restricts u as to what is flashable, ie kernels, splash screens, radios. Whereas the old hboot does not. Why some of us are waiting for s-off on current ota/hboot.

I have my Sprint evo 3D rooted and running a rom as a daily driver.. But I was wondering if I were to do the sprint official OTA update.. Will I lose root? And is it safe to do the sprint OTA to my rooted evo?

You will lose root, but if you are s-off that will remain. Also is it safe to update but you will have to reroot alover again. Safest bet would be waiting for someone to make a rooted stock rom of ICS.
If you are s-off, you can ruu back to stock, take the ota, and keep s-off. See Ramjet's steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29764326
If you are s-on, you should get s-off first.

i actually was thinking about doing the ota update and not have root well cause the evo 3d is my mom phone now so its no point of her actually having root access when she only uses her phone for text and calls ..so i would have to do ruu to stock then do the ota.. ? im already on a rom and rooted so im asking can i just do the update from this custom rom im already on?

Maybe if you are using the stock recovery. If you don't want it rooted, the easiest way is to lock the bootloader, run a GB ruu (which puts you at stock), then let the ROM take the ota. This will guarantee that you only have Sprint code on your Mom's phone.

im so lazy to do all of that lol i thought i can just do the ota update ..but then again i iam on a ics based rom for the evo 3d

Once an ruu of the new ota comes out, you'll just have to lock and then run it.

You can always root.
The question is whether or not you can live with the restrictions the OTA places on you
What does S-off allow me to do? What other restrictions am I looking at? I rooted my og evo nd ran decks rom and I'm thinking of doing the same now.

You can't get S-OFF
You can only unlock the bootloader, which means you can't flash things through the bootloader (Radios, splashscreens, ect),like you could on the OG EVO and you cannot flash kernels the normal way through recovery.
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-h-boot-1-15-wip.html
Background info:
I remember rooting my wife's EVO 4G LTE and it installed superuser automatically and for some reason...I can't remember which method I used. Bootloader screen now says TAMPERED. I'm on 1.12 bootloader and 1.13 software.
But now, I would like to install MeanROM.
I really don't have the time to read through a lot of the forums like before since I have a 2yr old and newborn to help take care of.
Questions:
1) Do I need to unroot first or can I go into lazy panda as is? Would this be my best bet to s-off?
2) updating to latest OTA required?
3) what is the easiest way to get latest TWRP on the EVO 4G LTE?
THANKS!!

Just run lazy panda to get s-off. Download goo manager from play store to install TWRP. when you open goo, just tap the menu button then tap install open recovery.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Being on Hboot 1.12 you're ready to go. You don't have to flash the ROM and kernel separately-just download your ROM, boot into recovery and flash away. Don't forget to make a Nandroid. As far as TWRP, I used Goo Manager from the Play Store to install it, but you can also download it from the TWRP site. Newest version is 2.3.1, I believe. Also, for S-off you can run the Lazy Panda tool. I have yet to bother with it since I'm on Hboot 1.12 and can flash ROM's, kernels and radios without issue I'll get around to it eventually, though.

easiest way to get twrp is threw the goo manager app.. menu top right the hit install open recovery script.. mad easy! u have to have your bootloader unlocked to flash a recovery first.. then u can flash twrp.. i would run lazy panda.. read the instructions.. its easy also.. if your rooted now u can run lazy panda then when u s-off flash recovery
You guys rock! Thanks for the advice.
Lastly regarding lazy panda...please correct me if I'm wrong.
I was reading their website and it mentions about the stock RUU...if I'm only rooted, I guess I would already be considered running a stock rom since I haven't done anything else to the phone. I'm assuming I would not have to download and run the stock 1.13 RUU right?
I would just run lazy panda and presto, s-off?
Thanks again!

I've been looking through the threads and haven't seen anything similar to the issue I have. I'm running the new meanbean except all my radios, hboot and all that is pretty out dated. Probably the reason why I can't get 4g yet the wife's phone, sitting next to mine, is showing full bars. I have been trying and trying to install any radio update, jewel pack I can find to update my radios. I'm running the latest version of twrp. Everytime I try to install any update pack through twrp it fails. I've even tried older versions, yet newer than mine, and still get the same results. Any help from you guys would be appreciated. Posting was my last resort.

S-OFF your phone then update firmware/radios. The only way to update your firmware while S-ON is to re-lock and take the OTA

Option 1 - Relock and run the 3.15 RUU. Then take the 3.16 OTA then Dev Unlock.
Option 2 - DirtyRacun to get S-OFF and head on over to Captain's thread for flashable that will update your radio, pri, nv, touchpanel etc.
Honestly I would recommend getting S-OFF while it is still available.

You can use FacePalm to S-OFF if you are not already on 3.16

Did all that, most of the time I get the bad image message. When it does go through I'll get a blue status bar on the right, will fill up than will say parsing that particular file. After that, the parsing message goes away and that's it, goes back to hboot menu. It apparently never updates because my versions don't change above the menu.
I'm almost wondering if there's a hardware issue which could be causing the updates to not install.

Download this file and place it on the root of your external SD card:

Rename the file PJ75IMG. Some operating systems automatically hide the zip extension so check and make sure (it should appear as PJ75IMG.zip). Once you've done this reboot to the bootloader and update. If you are indeed S-off I can't imagine why it won't work otherwise.
