S-OFF Question - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

OH MY GOD I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK! i just ran the program after reading through post for like 4 hours and found some useful stuff and since i am successfully S-OFF i figured i'd share.
1. i was already htc unlocked and rooted running Fresh 5.1.1 so if you want to go and unlock
2. go in your computer (im on win 7 64bit) control panel>programs and uninstall anything that says its by htc. and then install the htc drivers that are in the download page for the LazyPanda tool.
3. open sdk manager and make sure everything is up to date and that you have the usb drivers.
4. make sure usb debugging is enabled (settings>developer options) and the fast boot is disabled (in settings>power)plug in your evo and open up a command prompt and enter "adb devices" to make sure your evo is communicating with your computer.
5. type in "adb reboot bootloader" your evo should now boot into a white screen that says fastboot. let any drivers that are installing on your computer finish and then type "fastboot reboot" and your phone should boot up like normal. again let all drivers install.
6. let your evo settle and then open up the command prompt again and type "adb devices" just to check your evo is there.
7. disable ANY antivirus tools you have one on your computer and close any program that will do any communication with your usb port.
8. download and unzip the LazyPanda tool and then right click on the tool and run as administrator.
9. let LazyPanda run AND DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING. NOT YOUR COMPUTER. NOT YOUR EVO. DON'T EVEN TOUCH YOUR CAT. JUST SIT THERE AND PRAY THAT IT WORKS.
10. Once it says everything is done hit enter open up another command prompt and enter "fastboot reboot" and let your phone boot.
11. go to your evo and go to settings>activate this device and let it do its thing.
12. ENJOY YOUR NEW S-OFF EVO!!!
this is probably a little overkill with checking and whatnot but with all the bricks i figure its a good idea. hope this helped for anyone who uses this mini guide and if it did hit the thanks button

I followed this method for S-OFF and everything went great until I ran the lazy panda tool. I get a message saying it "Can't find Panda" and then said to press enter to exit. I am currently running Mean Rom 1.5 and got rooted via RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter. Any suggestions or solutions to this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Do a nand backup flash a stock rom then run lazy panda then restore you're backup, i had to do that had the same problem
Also i had a spare sd card i put in the phone to use while doing the s-off because i read that it was deleted some people sd card, not sure if the card is needed while running lazy panda but put one in anyway

Video by wwjoshdew for S-Off
There is a video of wwjoshdew running the Panda S-Off method on his YouTube channel.
Here is what I asked in the comments section and his response.
What state was your phone in before you did this? Were you HTC Dev Unlocked & rooted or just rooted? I'm currently rooted and HTC Dev Unlocked and would like to apply the updated Radio Firmware but apparently the only way to do that is with S-OFF. Thanks for making these vids and look forward to hearing back from you.

aright, fine... i'll reply! lol. I'm not sure about the S-ON S-OFF thing. I THINK you can be htc dev unlocked to apply the radio, but I'm not sure. I S-OFF everything... lol. Also, I was on MeanROM and htc dev unlocked when I ran S-OFF

I have not yet run lazy Panda yet, but I used the regaw_leinad method to root and unlock and since it worked for wwjoshdew, then I'm going to hope it will work for me too.

[Tutorial] How to root HTC Rider//X515E//HTC EVO 4G+//Korean EVO 3D

First off I would like to say that this took hours and hours compiling different information on the internet to figure this out. I do not take credit for any of the exploits or anything else in this. I am simply Writing the tutorial on how to use everything correctly to achieve root on a HTC Rider (HTC EVO 4G+)
Step1) go to http://www.htcdev.com/ and follow the guide to unlock your bootloader. Very simple instructions. You will need the following prior to unlocking your boot loader:
1.The Google Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Java Runtime Environment - http://java.com/
3. HTC Sync - http://www.htc.com/www/help/
Step2) Download HTC EVO 4g+ adb and recover image from - http://www.mediafire.com/?cyiz55mo4u666au
Unzip HTC EVO 4g+ adb and recover to the place of your liking I chose C:\
Enable USB debugging on your HTC EVO 4G+
Open a command prompt start>run>CMD
Restart the phone into HBOOT and select FASTBOOT
Plug phone in via usb.
Input the following command CD C:\adb
then type the following command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Reboot phone.
Step 3) Turn on phone and copy su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned.zip from HTC EVO 4G adb and recovery to the root of your SD card in your phone.
Restart phone into Hboot then choose BOOTLOADER
From BOOTLOADER choose RECOVERY
Once in RECOVERY choose Install zip from SD CARD using the camera button on the side of the HTC EVO 4G+
You then choose su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned.zip
It will then move you to a menu that has a large amounts of -NO's and one that says -Yes then the file name choose yes again with the camera button.
Once installed simply use the back button untill you see the option reboot.
Once rebooted you should have SU installed along with full SU privileges.
Sorry for the disorganized manner of this tutorial as this is the first one I have ever written and I just did this my self for the first time.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
I did this on a HTC EVO 4G+ with HBOOT 1.43.0000,Android 2.3.4,Software number 1.47.1010.4,Kernel version 2.6.35.13-gAD1A583.
jw why you posted this in here btw. has nothing at all to do with the EVO3D.....
the 4G+ is NOT the korean EVO3D either. That was crap the blogs were spouting before the phones came out wayyyy back in june/july. It has nothing 3D about it at all.
edit:
but good job at getting it done

Hey, I am korean
and I have HTC Evo 4G+
My HTC Evo 4G+'s Hboot is 1.43 Version. and Android 2.3.4
I did all of your description and I booted and HTC Notice said.
It repair some abnormal doings. And their no superuser apps. Is my phone rooted?
You forgot the really important step in your instruction. To do back up your current rom via recovery mod before flashing.
i have done this with android version 2.3.6 with latest hboot...its great tutorial
---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 AM ----------
i hope that there is someone will make a custom rom or atleast a patch or mod for sms to support 160 characters
will i still be able to receive updates if i have my phone rooted? i have an unlocked 4g+ and wanna get rid of the olleh bloatware that i am not using. tia.
Anyone tried this MIUI port? tried flashing it but stucked with the MIUI logo

first you unlock your bootloader using HTC's method for , next youll want to flash the recovery to a new verson and then boot into it and load your phone as a usb device and then copy over the super user zip and run it...;reboot then youre rootedafter that you look up Unknownforce's method to dpwngrade and obtain s-off or you can do the new "wire trick"

I have not tried that method but i found this method to work very well..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563342
Let me be totally honest the easiest way to hboot s off is to perform the wiretrick it is the easiest fastest way to do it.... its all about the wire timing and having a root on your phone with a pc with the program and adb and fastboot drivers
you can obtain the adb and fastboot drivers by searching rootevo3dnew.zip via google and dll that once done go into the folder or zip file and obtain A file Called HTC Driver.exe click it and install after that use jeuponut bears wiretrick
For me, its easier to use boot cd or boot flashdisk...
I also a new user of shooter, my phone just arrived 36 hours ago but I'm success downgrade to 1.4 hboot, S-off,rooted,custom recovery, and custom ROM..

If you follow the directions in the stickies in the development forum, you will be fine. I bricked mine following their directions and had no issues. Either way (using the wire trick or bricking), you will bee so glad you are s-off.

The brick is only a temp-brick. Think of it more as putting it into a "recovery mode" in which you're recovering to a lower hboot. It's simple enough to do once you get it into that mode. Plus you don't have to use HTC Unlock and hand over your warranty to HTC.
For me, its easier to use boot cd or boot flashdisk...

as iam new to this when i tried it... i am really nervous of bricking my phone... but eventually... i succeeded after several tries of doing the same thing over and over again..... and its pretty exiting....you try it...you'll be fine
Dont use htcdev for these reasons:
1.Warranty void aka re-locked
2. Its a lot of mess
3.You need to flash the boot.img once you flash a new rom again.

[Q] How to Reroot after OTA update to HTC EVO 4g let

Hi Everyone,
I accidentally hit the OTA update (software ver. 1.22.651.3 710RD) for my rooted HTC EVO 4G LTE phone (whoops!). I have SuperSU Pro with Survival Mode activated but that didn't work. I never installed special ROMs and primarily used ROOT for Tethering.
At any rate, my root is now gone and I can't find any discussions about how to re-root after an OTA update. I don't want to screw up my phone any further since it seems to be working ok otherwise.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You'll have to do the HTCDev unlock method (easiest way is through RegawMod). That's the only way right now.

actually the best way is htc dev using the adb tools mini sdk, regawmod has not been fixed and there are a lot of users complaining that they get stuck. To me it only takes a little common sense to solve 90% of the issues using regawmod but some people need their hands held and that thread is slowly boiling down to the worlds most repetitive support desk.
HTC Dev Unlock
Requirements
HTC Drivers
ADB Tools Mini SDK
Setup
Install HTC Drivers if necessary
Extract ADB Tools anywhere, doesnt matter
Open ADB Tools and hold shift+right click, select open command window here
In phone settings, enable usb debugging and disable fasboot
Connect the phone to pc
Steps
In the command window type adb start-server
Next type adb reboot bootloader
Select fastboot
Type fastboot devices to make sure you are connected
Type fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Right click and select mark, click and drag from the top arrows to the bottom arrows and make sure not to highlight any empty spaces as this will confuse the website, right click and it will be saved to clipboard
Now go to HTC Dev and if you don't already have an account, sign up for it
Go to unlock bootloader and select other supported models and accept the agreements
Skip the steps until you get the to token submit window and paste the token you copied earlier and submit.
Go to your email and download the unlock_bin code
Put the code in the ADB Tools folder
Type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
When the phone prompt comes up to unlock bootloader hit yes, now you are unlocked, re-enable usb debugging and disable fastboot
Type adb reboot bootloader
Type fastboot devices to make sure phone connected
Type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img
Type erase cache
Reboot phone and you will have unlock and recovery, all thats missing is to restart phone in bootloader and select recovery to flash a rom. Wipe Dalvik, cache, Factory reset, system and then install the rom. If it doesn't boot, extract the boot.img from the rom and put it in the adb folder and in fastboot type fastboot flash boot boot.img and reboot
Thanks for responding so quickly! I will try this.

Should work for all versions because it's the HTC method for unlocking your phone to root.

Well, after getting the phone going and attempting to use programs with root privileges, it seems that the rooting process didnt work. All the steps went just fine until I got to the last one and it said to "wipe cashe" when I typed that in it didnt work, so I just skipped that step and rebooted the phone.
Is that what caused the root to not take to the phone?

Also tried this last night. I plug my phone in, hit the ROOT button and nothing happens. I actually get a "not responding" on the software. My phone does not reboot into recovery. Does the HBOOT version matter with this? I am v1.19
Sorry, I am still learning all these terms. Not exactly sure what effects what.
I rooted and put Cyanogenmod on my OG EVO and never had this much trouble.
FYI: I was rooted before doing the latest OTA update. So I still have a Super user icon but if I click it it cant update the binary (because I am no longer rooted)...I read somewhere that people said to do a factory reset then try this rooting method again, because of old junk files left behind on the phone. This true?
Does this work on hboot 1.19?

If I want to completely update my phone (Android 4.0.3, Soft ver 1.22.651, baseband 1.02 because I pretty much got the phone the phone in December and immediately rooted it), will this method work? I'd really like to get Mean Rom but obviously, I'm in need of a few updates and I'm trying to figure out the simplest way to get there. It seems like doing all the official updates and then re-rooting and then installing MR would be the simplest way to do it buuuuut better to ask and be wrong and pointed in the right direction than screw everything up.

[Q] Unrooted, unlocked S-on but can't get custom ROM

So, I have gone through the whole process of rooting my phone, unlocking it. I have TWRP on it, Titanium backup (thankfully), Goo Manager. It is S-on. I have 2.09 Hboot. My TWRP-jewel is 2.5.0.0. Ok, now onto my question, I am trying to get CM-10 to load but it doesn't go any further than the load screen. No matter what I try. I have even tried switching to JellyBAM but all to no avail. Can someone offer me tips as to what I may have done or be doing wrong? Thanks in advance
[Q] trying to put CM10 on my rooted phone
Forgive me if I put this in the wrong group, but I feel this is probably the right one for it. I have Hboot 2.09. I have TWRP. I have S-on. I want to put CM10 with Gapps onto my phone but every way I have tried, CM10 just sits there and loops around, the longest being an hour. I figured some time was possible, but come on. Over on Google+, people are telling me to flash this and flash that, fastboot this or that. I have no idea what they are trying to say to me. I am loving learning all of this but I need a little more explanation than just flash something. I realize that flash has something to do with commands. I am running windows 8 if that helps on my laptop. My TWRP version is 2.5.0.0. I don't know if my phone has gone through the latest update or not. Thanks for any help you can give me!
You have to install the kernel separately from the ROM since you're S-on. Click the link in my sig for more info.
You most likely have the newest touch panel driver, so you can only use ROM's based off the latest OTA, software version 3.16. Your touchscreen won't work otherwise. You can gain S-off and downgrade your touch panel driver, at which point you can run AOSP ROM's like CM.

First of all you might be on the newest touch panel driver, and that's the first thing that gets you in trouble because aosp roms don't work with that, as of now, it might work later... Who knows... Secondly you need to flash the boot.img separately thru fastboot because your are s-on and on 2.09... To make your life easier try to get s-off either thru facepalm or dirty racun... That way you can flash any rom and also downgrade your touch panel driver to get aosp working on your phone... If you flash viper rom it has a senseless option so you can use nova and get stability and some sort of aosp look... Good luck!
Sent from my EVO
Yes, S-off is the way to go if you want to run CM. Otherwise, try meanbean or viper or sharkie or any other sense based Rom. They should work fine.

I have tried to do facepalm. When I put the code in (I'm assuming it goes in the command window), I get messages like "adb not valid command". Even though my phone is most definitely rooted, says unlocked. Should I redownload android-sdk? Thanks again!

ADB commands must be issued when the phone is mounted as media share not as fastboot. Connect your phone as if you were transferring files between it and your pc.
Something new to try since you're on the latest OTA.

ADB commands must be issued when the phone is mounted as media share not as fastboot. Connect your phone as if you were transferring files between it and your pc.

I do have it connected to the computer like that. Do you mean I have to go into TWRP and mount it that way? I tried it that way too. I downloaded and whole new android SDK to see if that is the problem. If not, I am going to factory reset my phone and start over. I can't imagine why I was able to root the phone, get it unlocked, but now I can't do anything else with it. Not even get adb commands to recognize it.

Message is for user tabidee tho if anyone else can help..koo..but I doubt u want tow
This is for tabidee hey I was reading ur stuff on xda developers and I have a question. If u can help if not its cool. Ok so i got my sprint evo and I went to try to root it. I went thru a process that with the steps combined with htcdev site got me to say unlock my bootloader. I used hoot 2.09 and I was supposed to flash this pimg175 zip to i guess install a recovery. Well that won't work at all... I cant get my s on switched to s off and so i am stuck with according to the hoot screen a tampered, unlocked with s on, unrooted phone. I am so confused with all the steps and files I had to download, rename and save to various folders that I gave up. With my phone at its current state what do I do next? I deleted all the files from the day I unlocked it but if you can explain to me... And explain like if I was a five year old cuz I'm that dumbfounded on this subject... But if u can maybe walk me thru the rest of the process or walk me thru a undoing of what I done so far. I'm lisa. My email is [email protected]
Check out the link below. It's a GUI for rooting and has everything you need to get your phone rooted. You'll need to install the recovery first then superuser, which will give you root.

I had to do moonshine with wubi lunbuntu linux terminal. Rooting is easy u do it from google play look for 4.2.2 roms that are ok with s-on. mean is easy.
so I still have to connect my sh*t to da pc and go thru some more steps with this lunbuntu thing before though rite? BTW... the HTC software update won't complete itself so I'm still 4.1 I think

[Q] How do I get S-OFF with DirtyRacun?

I can not find any tutorial on how to get S-OFF on my HTC Evo 4G LTE. I go so the site for the instructions but they are very complicated. I have tried it already and even installed ubuntu on my computer and tried the command but it say command not found or something like that. Please help. I want to get back to stock and it seems like the only way I can do it is if I get S-OFF. I'm not sure but I don't think the lazy panda method works anymore either.
Try this thread, it has instructions starting second page I think.

If you are on 3.16.651.3 the latest you can use Moonshine it's windows friendly
If you are anything below 3.16 you can use Facepalm also window friendly this takes about 5 mins or less I used it a couple weeks ago on a friends phone
