So I see there's a way to unlock the bootloader via HTC, is there anything there way besides that? For example revolutionary. Link would be helpful too since I'm on mobile. Thanks I'm advance!

nope, no other way yet.
Read around.
Only two ways to unlock bootloader.
By HTC or S-OFF by Juponutbear.
Either way, you have to do HTC's unlock before you can do the S-OFF procedure.
There's no revolutionary-ish method I'm aware of, root comes easily through ROMs, flashing a SU.zip, or adding superuser through Amon Ra.

You must do HTC unlock first.
This unlocks the bootloader and allows you to root.
Then you must root, and the only method of doing that that I'm currently aware of is to use Amon Ra to root the phone.
Then you can get S-OFF via the Juopunutbear method.

No.
Only a custom recovery, which would at least need HTC's unlock.

Hey OP, there are root methods for the stock firmware, the 1.02.605.6 that comes with the phone new.
If you have not gone to the OTA firmware yet, 2.01.605.11, you can use those root methods.
Someone else feel free to tell me to go back to sleep, if I need it, too
Edit 3: Removing my tinfoil hat and going back to sleep for now, sorry.
Okay I'm on the latest version. Will the tool from the development forum work still?

If you are updated to the OTA firmware, you can only accomplish root by Unlocking the bootloader first.

This guide details the process succinctly and is what I used, however:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504824
If you download the All-In-One toolkit and follow the guide it can simplify the process greatly. Perm Root option is in the Extras section for you after Unlock, and AmonRa recovery is recommended. Some ClockworkMod users have some nasty trouble charging battery when it becomes fully drained.

Ok so I have been working with my buddies thunderbolt. He didn't want a data wipe, so we used the htcdev method to root 2.11.605.9, and flash CMW 4.0.1.5. Now I can not find a rom that will flash with out giving it a WIFI-error, I assume its because the kernel isn't flashed properly. I either need a method to flash the rom/kernel so the WIFI-error doesn't show, or s-off and flash regularly.
1.link is s-off tool, will it work for unlocked using htcdev method?
My phone is also rooted with the htcdev method and i just use Flash Image Gui to flash kernels with s-on.
http://www.myhtc.biz/2012/htc-thunderbolt-rooting-s-off-sim-unlock-htc-sense-guide/
Can't say for sure if it will work or not. The recommended method for S-OFF however is at revolutionary (dot) io
I'd recommended giving that a try first as it will error out before it has a chance to break something. Be sure to read the documentation carefully before beginning.

I was finally able to get my 605.9 TB in an S-OFF configuration with the procedure I followed from Thunderbolt Forums (search Downgrade get s off now unneccessary):
I just got HBOOT to show S-OFF with this method and it replaces the "Unlock" header from HTCDev to "Revolutionary" once the procedure is completed.
All props go to OP in ThunderboltForums in above link. Next to flash a couple of ROMs and see if it really did work.

There is no need to unlock. S-off is all that you need. It can do anything.

You need root to get s-off. The only people who had root were people on the shipped rom when the phone came out. Every OTA since has not had root, let alone temp root that the shipped rom had. So you absolutely need HTC Dev unlock to get s-off, and yes if you havent done it yet, it will wipe the phone. Thems the breaks.

Not what I meant. I already had s-off and it relocked. It then would not allow me to install amon ra. I was asking if there was a different fastboot command to just change it to unlock now since we have soff.

I had to unlock too but reused my token.
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code. is the command
Edit: My bad this probably isn't what you were looking for.
I didn't have to re-unlock.
I asked about this in the discussion thread but was never answered.
I just fastboot flash recovery .zip
and HBOOT flashed my roms boot.img and I was back with the addition of S-OFF
I've flashed several Roms since, while my HBOOT still says Tampered, Locked, S-OFF.
Finally, since I'm on ICS, I flashed the Juopunutbear modified HBOOT.
Everything seems to be open and working fine without re-unlocking.

Not sure if you still need this but i just used the rezound AIO to flash amon again right after and worked fine no unlock. Tho I still have my bin file if I need it.
afaik if you did s-off and you're on GB firmware, you need the ENG Hboot to flash recoveries using fastboot commands, otherwise you have to use PH98IMG.zip's... but that's just what i see, i'm not 100%.

Yeah, I had to dust out the cobwebs of my brain after successfully S-OFF'ing this morning. Wish I would have seen this thread first because I had forgotten what to do!

I received my EvoLTE two days ago and immediately Rooted using HTCDev and the TWRP recovery. I wrongly believed this would give me S-Off and obviously I was wrong about that. So...I need to learn how to get S-Off after Rooting. From reading on the forum it seems I have to do the S-Off procedure and then go through the Rooting process again.
Question: I'm Rooted presently, can I follow the S-Off procedure while Rooted? Will this un-Root me? I don't know if I have to un-Root first, then do the S-Off steps, then Root again, or if I can just do S-Off which will un-Root me then Root again.
I haven't found a clear answer yet and appreciate any and all help.
thanks,

Yes u can follow the instructions to gain soff (make sure you choose the right method for your h-boot) then you will have to regain root access by method of your choice but if you are new I'd recommend using regaw's automatic rooter and skip the htc unlock step (because after s-offing you will already be unlocked)

Awesome this pretty much answered my question of the next step after getting s-off from dirtyracun. They are so concerned with only s-off in their thread that they don't even point anyone in the right direction afterwards. I am sure their method is 99% safe and so on, but it woulda been nice to see some guidance on the next step (ie regaining root, loading recovery, loading custom rom, etc)
EDIT: Successfully Got S-off via racun, running win 7 32 bit, evo 4g lte, flashed recovery & SU as listed by TC successfully. Phone is NOT a brick.
Glad to be of help! Now the phone is really "yours" to enjoy

The TWRP zip has to be on the root of your external SD card. It won't work from internal storage.

Not perm root. You have to flash a custom recovery to flash the root package. I believe you can temp root however.

Yes. Use the DirtyRacun tool for the Dinc4G at unlimited.io. Be sure to follow the directions *exactly*. This process does not unlock the bootloader.
Somebody tell me what "unlock the bootloader" means. I only know about s-on and S-off.

Unlock bootloader is for flashing roms and kernels, without significant changes to the phone itself, s off gives you full acces to the phone, soffed you can flash radios bootimages bootloaders, and manipulate everything, also meaning a risk of completely bricking

ok - just wanted to make sure i was following correctly.
s-off is a step past simply unlocking the bootloader. doing either will allow you to flash roms / kernels / custom recovery? s-off will also make it a bit easier to brick your phone if you don't follow directions.
i rooted my original inc... s-off seemed to be the way to go on that phone which i did with no problems... maybe that made me braver than i should be
S-off is the way to go. Just stick with ROMs/kernels/radios for this phone. Flashing files for other phones will usually brick your phone.

Moonshine will facilitate your phones ability to unlock via HTCDEV, which is needed to s-off your phone. Once s-off, you no longer need to be unlocked.

I think your a little confused. Moonshine will likely be an s-off method (direct s-off)... anyway my point being that htcdev does not facilitate s-off at all, it simply unlocks the bootloader allowing the use of custom recoveries and hence roms/kernels. My money is on a direct s-off method because i know the nature of beaups and fuses hacking background and previous work.
furthermore if im correct then htcdev wont be entirely necessary because a different hboot can be flashed without it giving the user write access to the boot and system partitions
I don't think it's possible to unlock without htcdev... I can't wait to put some sense 5 then cm 10.1.... I actually had a question regarding backups before I root. How exactly should I be backing up my phone? Unlock–>put twrp –> use x app to create nandroid and get that on computer somehow and then flash?

It's possible that I'm confused, but, I do know that for facepalm to work, you had to be unlocked using super CID. Then you could do the s-off method. I was basing my statement on that. It's entirely possible that moonshine does not require an unlocked bootloader to work. We will find out in due time.
Edit: I'm fully aware that HTCDEV does not give s-off.
From my S-Off DNA
Moonshine will not require htc-dev unlock on the DNA. If it did, it would be useless for the stuck 2.xx users.
It will give you s-off and "UNLOCK" status, together.

Seeing as its called the same thing and the screenshots, I assume they found a common method. Possibly has huge implications.... its really hard to tell without the release or without a hint as to how it works. They, understandably, probably wont say if it can get patched or something.
