So I'm trying to figure out which root is the best one to go with. Any recommendations? Did some reading on lazy panda s-off and I'm assuming it's the best if not only way to get s-off. Here is the software my phone is on. I just wanna make sure I meet the prerequisites before I attempt this lol.

I was reading that it needs to be stock 1.13? Is that hboot or software?

if you took the OTA then you are pretty much screwed and only have 1 option, HTC Unlock. you can use the Rawsomething method that makes it easy and automated, but no LazyPanda for you.

I flashed the radio when i was just unlocked last week, installed the freshrom that it refers to in the lazypanda thread and followed the instructions to the letter yesterday with no issues and now im s-off.
sweet! i saw so many people take the update, even PKMN rom asked if you wanted to apply the update.

I noticed in the thread about LazyPanda s-off that there is a chance that u can brick the device? What's the probability of that happening?
Sent from my White Evo
It is unknown, but it is a temp brick and the unbricker has a 100% success rate.

hello all I'm kinda stuck... I have hboot 1.12 I would like to gain S-off but I cannot figure out what i need to do. I've been to the unlimited IO site it says it supports hboot 1.12/1.15/1.19 but there's an asterisk further down the page that states (If you have HBOOT 1.12 you must use the DirtyRacun process to upgrade your RUU to gain S-OFF.) what does this mean? and even more confusing is once you get down to step 7 on this page you only have two hboots to choose from. can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you need to upgrade your hboot to 1.15 r 1.19 and then use dirty racoon. I'm pretty sure lazy panda is no longer available
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I think you have to run one of the newer RUUs, then you can run the racoon.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
How do I do this?
how do I get from hboot 1.12 to hboot 1.15?
I'm no pro, but I downloaded the RUU and renamed it to PJ75IMG and put it on my sdcard, rebooted into bootloader and hit yes when prompted to update.

if u have hboot 1.12 then u run lazy panda.. thats will give u s-off.. dirty racun is for the new hboots.. run lazy panda u will be golden:good:

Upgrade to 1.15 and run dirty racoon
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
that's basically what I'm attempting to find out.. how to upgrade to 1.15
The dirty racoon process involves relocking and running a RUU. This will prepare your phone for the s-off process. AFAIK just follow the directions and you'll be all set or if you wanna double check ask someone in that thread
I think your good to follow the steps

I am also on hboot 1.12 and am currently S-ON rooted and HTCDEV unlocked. Looking for an S-Off method other than DirtyRacun because I have x64 Windows and would really rather not update my hboot for S-OFF or mess around with Linux.
If I could get a hold of the Lazy Panda file would it be helpful based on my situation?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yesterday I did the deed, and got S-OFF. I was running a 1.12 hboot after downgrading several months earlier. Had to RUU up to a 1.19 hboot for the Racun to do it's thing. Otherwise it was a quick, and painless operation. If you need help go the #unlimited IRC channel on freenode.net.
If you're already hboot 1.12, lazypanda is a simple executable that needs no more than administrative privileges and 5-10 minutes.

Why not upgrade from 1.12 to 1.19 to use dirtyracun? Only reason why not to upgrade before was because there wasn't an s off method for 1.19 lol

Problem now is, Lazy Panda is no longer supported by Team Unlimited. If you get into a tight spot and need help, you're potentially going to be screwed. Having said that, myself and many others have successfully used it since support for it ceased. Risk versus reward, I suppose.

DirtyRacun will work on 3.16 but you have to use Linux (windows is no longer supported)
I did BabyRacun so I could install 3.15 and finished with FacePalm. Had not one issue other than user error. Lol. Worked great. Did that today on my replacement of which Sprint decided to update fully.

I don't think you can S-Off yet with the latest. DirtyRacun may support it now I could be wrong. Watch Qbking77's videos on YouTube to unlock and root your device. Good luck and welcome.

If you are already on 2.09 hboot, I think you have to use the hboot downgrade method to brick your phone and install an earlier hboot which will let you run dirty racun. It is by no means easy, and I don't know if there is still support for that method.

The only way to downgrade your HBOOT on this device IS to brick your phone (if you're S-ON, that is). I think you misunderstood. This device is much more locked down than the OG. "Forget everything you think you know."
But at this point, the downgrade method isn't supported (yet). I already bricked my Jewel trying it (granted, that was after the downgrade was completed successfully, but still).
The team that put together the downgrading tool is still working vigorously on confirming a method that will work reliably with the new HBOOT. Stay tuned.

^^^ This. The OG EVO and this phone are not the same. What worked on one won't necessarily work on the other. Just wait for an S-off exploit for the new Hboot, otherwise you'll end up with an expensive paperweight, like the Captain did:banghead:

Once you have S-Off can you go ahead and RUU to the latest one.

Probably not a good idea, since it would still be S-off. Could be a headache for the future owner if they aren't aware.
