I unlocked my LTE using the HTC Developers method. All went smooth and my phone says it's unlocked - but I can't do a thing now that I couldn't before.
BusyBox won't install. FAIL
SuperUser won't install and update - ERROR / FAIL
Tried flashing TeamWin Recovery and while it never gives any error and it seems to do everything it should - I can't get into Recovery. I just get the HTC screen followed by a RED triangle or a reboot. Did this through Goo as well as with Fastboot and never any errors but while Recovery is an option in my Hboot - it jut leads to a red triangle or a reboot.
I tried re-locking and unlocking which again went without a hitch - but still no luck with superuser, busybox, teamwin recovery, Titanium Backup.
Any HELP would be sooooo appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack
if you just did the dev unlock, I think you just unlocked your bootloader. You still to root to install SU and actually do anything.
Sounds like you didn't root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577
Root, unlock bootloader and S-OFF seem to have separate procedures.
On the twrp thread it says nothing about needing to root it just says to htc unlock and install via goomanager.
How did you get activation email from Htcdev? I've tried 5 different emails and usernames. Still nothing.

it assumes that one would know that one has to have root in order to flash a custom recovery and install superuser.
*Edit: I was mistaken. It would seem that you don't need root to flash recovery, at least on the One X (which is similar). So, I'm not sure what the problem is.
Do you need to unlock the bootloader first, or root first? Or does the order not matter?

right, but you need root in order to USE goomanager. The way to install a custom recovery without root is to unlock bootloader and flash recovery thru fastboot (and THEN use recovery to flash SU). That is the more common/conventional (i.e. oldschool) method.

You are probably used to the one-click everything. Installs recovery, s-off, unlock bootloader and root.
What you did, sounds like JUST root. Next step for you would be to unlock the bootloader via HTCDEv. Once you do that you can install a custom recovery.
That's the current state of options right now.

Is anyone having problems with rom manager in recover. I've rooted my HTC EVO LTE and unlocked the boot loader with HTC DEV. Then flashed recovery from rom manager. Then when I start recovery, rom manger recovery loads, but when ever I choose an option it goes no where and just sits with the hat. None of the options like reboot system, install zip from Sd-card, or advanced work. All of them take me to a black screen with hat and don't take me anywhere. What am I doing wrong. Any suggestions?
Attached is the error file that I get when I attempt to use recovery.
Do I need to partition my Sd-card in order to get it to work. It's been a long time since I did this, I can't remember if I need to do this in order to get it to work?
I've rooted my original Incredible and a Nook before with no problems. I didn't anticipate any problems here. From stock, I successfully flashed the latest ICS RUU (3.14) and unlocked the phone via Hasoon2000's kit. I confirmed in HBOOT that I was unlocked. When I tried to run the "Perm Root (GB/ICS)" command, it didn't work. There were a lot of "Device not found" errors in the terminal (yes, USB debugging was enabled at all times). My phone would try to reboot but then get stuck on the triangle/exclamation point screen.
After a few tries, I decided to manually root the phone. I rebooted normally (after taking the battery on and off) and used Hasoon2000's kit to install AmonRa. I then booted into recovery. I wiped cache and Dalvik cache and went into Developer Menu. I then chose "Install superuser and su." It seemed to do it correctly. I rebooted and made sure Superuser was installed and updated. At this point, I thought I had root access.
I installed Titanium Backup but it gave me an error that it couldn't acquire root privileges. I installed the Root Checker app and it also said I wasn't rooted properly. I don't know what I did wrong. Please help.

Yes, you need to be rooted to get S-off, so installing any of the roms will do.
S-OFF is a whole another process, you definitely need to be rooted first though.

I also got errors when tring to do the one-click root method. So try flashing the Amon-Ra recovery after you unlocked the bootloader. Reboot into recovery and then go to develpoer's menu and select root and something else in that menu. From there you are rooted. After that, follow this website to get S-OFF. I did mine last night and it went smooth. It took me a few times to do the wire trick, but I finally got it.

I am very new to this and did something as my friend said, really stupid. I rooted my Evo LTE with the one click root method. This installed TWRP Recovery. After a few days I found a ROM I wanted to install. I installed ROM manager and along with this it installed Clockworkmod. I tried to install the rom from the zip I put on the root but clockwork opens up as my recovery instead of TWRP and does not run any commands. So after trying to get clockwordmod to work and couldn't... I decided to unroot phone and just re-root (yes very stupid). So after unrooting via SuperUser, I tried to install the RUU and it would'nt install as bootloader/recovery not work. I have no clue what to do
Are you running the ruu on your pc? It's not something you flash on your phone.

You have to relock your bootloader to run an ruu.

Try to flash TWRP again. If your able to do this then running a ruu is not nessary. As stated before clockworkmod recovery has problems on the Evo LTE.

Thank you thank you, I was able to relock the bootloader last night. Tonight I will try and reflash TWRP. This has been a good learning experience so far. At least i didn't brick the phone As the phone is no longer rooted do i need to root it as part of my flashing TWRP? The one click root method installs TWRP as part of the whole process.

You do not need to be rooted to flash a recovery but your bootloader needs to be unlocked. If your unlocking your bootloader using htcdev method then you don't need to be rooted. If your unlocking your bootloader using lazypanda method then you need root or temp root before you can run lazypanda.

I have a Sprint version that I managed to root; can't get it to s-off or can't get the TWRP recovery 2.6.3.0-m7wls to open. It flashes fine, but the phone just reboots even though it states "entering recovery. I don't like CWR. I need a TWRP that works with my phone. Also, I have tried to methods of acquiring s-off to no avail.............Can anyone help me. Thanks
You are flashing a recovery meant for the One(m7). Find the recovery in this forum for the One Max to flash.
Almost There....
I found the right twrp recovery and a working superuser; so I'm now rooted and can enter recovery. My Bootloader is unlocked and all I need now is to s-off, which Rumrunner failed to do repeatedly. I need to find another method.
I have a Sprint HTC One Max running Android 4.3 with Sense 5.5.
Thanks again.

you're not doing something properly; follow the directions EXACTLY, every single step must be done the way it says to on the rumrunner site, or it wont work

Rumrunner will not complete if you have a Firewall or Anti-Virus active. Disable them then it should install. But it worth noting that if you already have twrp/root you don't really need S-OFF. Unless you want to Super CID/Change the Bootloader Flag otherwise you can flash roms and recoveries with Bootloader Unlocked.
Good information.
I have everything done and flashed the Sky Dragon Rom. Working great; last change is to get the fingerprint scanner up and running.
I "relocked" the bootloader and it still is not functioning.
Fully Functional
I had uptained s-off but made mu fingerprint scanner inoperable. Well the Guru Bootloader Reset Tool Locked my bootloader and removed the "Tampered" script in less than three seconds. My Scanner is working flawlessly again.
Thank you all.....:laugh::victory:

You don't need s-off to unlock bootloader and root. Of course if you want to be able to use the fingerprint scanner, you would need to be s-off and locked.
So this is what happened .
i was stuck on 2.07 update with moonshine s-off and fully unlocked with root.
Every thing was going well but really wanted the kitkat update.
so i followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612740 to RUU.
which got me to 3.06.
even got to keep my s-off status.
downloaded the 4.4.2 OTApks.zips and updated one at a time through stock recovery.
still maintained my s-off status in kitkat..
attempted root with weaksauce.
gained root.
SUCCESS!
flashed TWRP2.7.
still going well
. this is where it all went down hill.
attempted to unlock boot loader without a device wipe.
i used the unlock_boot loader.zip from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160677.
and it worked!!
FINALLY I GAINED S-OFF ROOT AND UNLOCKED.
so i reboot the device and Unfortunately Verizon Login has stopped.
over and over again.......
Had to factory reset the device.
now weaksasuce isnt working for me poo.
o well. if i could do it over again i would see if kingo htc unlock would work.
i hope this helps out others having issues with root....
Now im S-off and unlocked.
but i cant gain root.
any advice is suggested.
Flash supersu zip from Twrp recovery. Should give you root.
