Scenario: HTC Flyer US Wifi only. Attempting to get s-off using revolutionary. I've setup ADB on my mac and my device is identified, so I can see the serial number. my HBoot version is 1.10.0000
This is the message I receive when trying to run the binary file downloaded from the revolutionary site.
"
-bash: /Users/BHaze/Desktop/revolutionary: cannot execute binary file
logout
[Process completed]
"
I'm guessing this is a simple fix. Thanks for your help guys.
Did you get the beta code at the bottom of the revolutionary page?

Did you install the correct windows drivers first?

No rom at all? I'm pretty sure you need a stock rom in usb debugging mode for revolutionary to properly root the device.
you have all the latest drivers installed from HTC? entered all of your information correctly, double check the little obvious things you might have missed. For some reason it is recognizing your phone, yet there is some kind of incompatibility issue... it is not recognizing your device as the one you (think) entered it as.
double check ESN, Hboot version, io code you entered, etc.
Make sure usb debugging is checked. Menu/settings/applications/development

So all I've done is rooted my phone for wifi tether, but I'm ready to flash CM10 for a fresh experience. I am on Hboot 2.09 and the latest 3.16 software so I know CM10 won't work properly with obtaining s-off. I want to know if there is a good step by step video that will get me s-off for my exact set up for windows 7 64 bit? I am deathly afraid of bricking my phone. All the videos I've found out there are for the older software versions. Help anyone?

supercid is the first step just folow the instructions it should be easy, you have to have supercid to do the Facepalm S-off method, I've never used it but by reading the instructions it seems to be easier that dirty racun, give it a try there is always somebody that can help you if you run into trouble...

hey i just wanted to save you some trouble - i just obtained S-OFF on my phone yesterday. like you, i was on hboot 2.09 and the latest 3.16 software.
facepalm S-OFF method will not work for you.
i'm not entirely sure about the reason, but i believe it has to do with the 3.16 software, which prevents you from changing the CID on the device (any attempt forces the phone to reboot). unfortunately, that means the first three lines of facepalm's method (giving you superCID) won't work, and thus the rest of it won't work either. i tried several methods of getting superCID on 3.16 before finally giving up.
unfortunately, that means you have to use dirtyracun / babyracun to downgrade in order to get S-OFF.
it's a bit more work, especially for me since i had to find a computer with a CD writer, burn a linux cd, and then use the same computer to boot into linux since mine doesn't even have a CD drive. but the instructions are easy enough to follow once you boot into linux.
sorry for the hassle, lmk if i can help with anything.

Okay so I burned the Live CD and am ready to go, but the the dirty racoon instructions on the website are far from simple, not to mention Linux is like Japanese to me. Yes I would greatly appreciate some help so I don't brick my phone. I use my phone for work so its even more imperative that I can use my phone after this process. Can you help with the first few steps? Thanks.

sure, i'd be more than happy to help. i followed the instructions step by step and nothing happened to my phone. linux feels a little foreign at first, but ubuntu is pretty user-friendly - and besides, there's a lot of people here to help you out.
again, before you start:
1) make sure you have a microSD card in your phone
2) make sure it's charged close to full
after you boot into linux:
1) first open firefox on the left side, and load up this webpage so you can post with any questions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41873127#post41873127
2) download dirty racun from the unlimited.io page:
http://unlimited.io/jewel.htm
3) then go into the file folder and create a new folder inside your Downloads folder named DirtyRacun (make sure it's the Linux Downloads folder, you'll know it's the right one if you see the the RabiesShot_LINUX.tgz file.
let me know when you've gotten that far

Cool. But I am unable to run the command that is required by unlimited.IO.
sorry for the late response. i was getting lunch.
if you extracted dirtyracun into the downloads folder properly, the following commands should work for you.
1) launch terminal (click the ubuntu button, type "terminal" without quotes)
2) type "cd Downloads" (again without quotes)
3) type "cd DirtyRacun"
4) type "chmod 755 RabiesShot adb fastboot"
how far can you get?
I saved and extracted into the dirtyracun folder and after the last command, I get nothing

Umm adb= Android Debug Bridge it's a way of using a windows or Linux command prompt to send commands to your phone. I'm not really the best for step by step instructions on setting it up but search around a little and I'm sure you can find a guide. Once you have adb working its just copy and paste commands. Besides it'll be good for you to learn a little about it. It can come in handy if your in a jam.
Edit: was just thinking about this more.... Didn't you have to unlock bootloader with HTC Dev? You should have adb setup already. It's just running the right commands.

Hi.
I haven't updated the Evo 4GLTE since April 2012 and want to update it to whatever the current stock rom is. I'm giving it to a friend who doesn't have much experience with phones/technology and might accidentally select "Bootloader" or "Recovery" from the restart menu if I gave it to her in its current condition. Needless to say, I've been out of the "flashing roms every week" game for quite some time on this phone. I don't care if it loses root in the process.
It is currently rooted with S-On running Stock w/Goodies 1.6, Hboot version 1.12.
What would happen if I accepted the pushed system update?
Do I have to install Linux to acquire S-Off to return to stock or is their an easier method?
Thanks in advance!

You can use Facepalm to get S-off. It's Windows friendly and takes less than five minutes from start to finish. Afterwards you can run VipeRUU and it will update your software version to the newest one and get you the newest firmware, also (you must be S-off to use it). It will also return the phone to completely stock, unrooted & S-on. The link to VipeRUU is in the Development thread. Facepalm can be found in Original Development.

Thanks for the quick reply. In order to use Facepalm, I need to obtain SuperCID. The only method I found says that it's ancient and outdated.
I also saw (on the Facepalm thread) "SuperCID for HTC Evo 4G LTE:" and then some adb code. Do I just run those commands to obtain SuperCID?
Thanks again!

Run the very first set of commands posted in the Facepalm thread. You can copy and paste them into your command prompt. Once successful run the rest of the commands. Make sure that the two files you need to download are in the same directory as your ADB folder and you'll be good to go:thumbup:

Thanks for all the help. I finally had time to sit down and run all the processes. VipeRUU scared me a bit by being stuck on "flashing" while the HTC process bar (on the phone) was about 2/3 full for about 8 minutes, but then it completed and everything is totally fine.

I don't understand why installing the sdk on my laptop would have any effect on why the phone isn't responding to simple commands...
Because the files in the SDK are what are used to communicate with the device via CMD. If they are outdated, they will not work. Actually , I need to update mine, too. Just recently, my cmd window no longer returns a s/n when running fastboot devices, or adb devices. Just stopped working. May be that I'm now on a 4.3 ROM with 3.4.63 kernel, and latest kernel requires newer SDK.
