I know there's not an S-Off yet for 1.22.651.3, but how about just a temporary root exploit.
It doesn't need to survive a reboot - I just want to be able to run Titanium Backup once.
I spend longer customizing home-screens and settings than anybody I know. MyBackupPro just doesn't cut it. I'm still putting things back for days.
Unfortunately the HTCDev unlock wipes everything.
I guess if I do go that route, I'd just have to do one last re-create of my layout and settings, but I just thought I'd ask.
Search for xHausx's deodexed ROM for the LTEVO build that includes the latest OTA and fixes. You can do this via TWRP (my personal favorite) or Clockwork Mod. Check out the ROM Manager app via Google Play. After flashing the ROM via TWRP, you will have r00t, and Titanium Backup is yours.

Maybe I've missed something here...
To flash this (or anything), I have to use the HTCDev unlock first, which wipes my data, right?
Once I do that, I can flash or install anything I like, including Titanium Backup, regardless of having it already bundled in some ROM for me.
The point was to back up what I've got now using Titanium, before running the HTCDev unlock, like if there was a temp root exploit.
I know what you're saying; we had a temp root on the Evo 3D before it was fully rooted and unlocked. I don't remember seeing one for this phone anywhere though.
this guy is asking about root...not a rom??
HTC dev is currently the only root method if you took the ota.
We had a one click root that wouldn't unlock bootloder but that was patched.

I am also interested in this. I have the newest version 651.3 and no root. I want Titanium Backup to run first before a wipe of data.
Also, i am not completely understanding something here. I read root and S-Off. I have read that S-off gives greater level of rights in the system, but do we need that to apply new ROMs? Not sure what the S-Off give us exactly. Can someone clear that up for me? Thanks, Chewboxa.

You need s off to flash radios and hboots but you already have the new ones. You can flash roms once you're rooted without soff
Sent from my galaxy nexus using xda app-developers app
If you can get S-OFF, you absolutely want it when it becomes available. HTC dev is getting more and more restrictive
So am I reading this correctly.. Even with the new ota if you use HTC Dev to root you can flash roms? I thought the ota prevented that? I knew pre ota you didn't need soff to flash roms but I thought with the ota that was gone...if not I guess I better get going and so this.. Could someone point me to the best path for this knowing I am stock with ota update. No root.. What is the story with google wallet.. Do I need to test before doing this.. I just happen to have the next 4 nights free to mess around so now is the time..

If you have HTC dev unlocked, just use TWRP to flash xHausx's deodexed ROM that includes the latest OTA with r00t access. Simple!
Sent From My S-OFFed, R00ted, 100% Tricked-Out HTC Evo 4G LTE via XDA Premium!
Yes, if you've used the HTC Dev unlock, you can certainly then flash a recovery or any ROM you like.
The catch is just that if you haven't yet used the unlock, it will wipe all your data when you do.
I was hoping for an exploit to let us run TB first - but from the looks of it, none of the previous exploits work anymore if you already have the OTA.
Does, the Dev unlock, void your warranty?
Yes, given your comment, a nandroid and perhaps using the App Backup and Restore app from the market is as good as you can get currently. It isn't Titanium, but it is a decent "Plan B."
Sent From My S-OFFed, R00ted, 100% Tricked-Out HTC Evo 4G LTE via XDA Premium!
I can't do a nandroid because I still have the stock recovery.
Volume up or down while powering up still just boots the phone, not into recovery.
Or is there some other way?
Nope. The only way to root with the newest hboot is Htc dev. You will lose data. There's no way around it.
In the future don't accept otas

No, you're not rooted. You're unlocked...which is close, but no cigar. You'll have to "relock" your phone if you want to go back to 1.4 hboot with s-off. No biggie...took me half an hour at most. Just make sure you have the files you need at hand plus the live Linux cd/dvd.

You are rooted just fine. Never heard of half assed rooted.
The only thing is your S-On so the partition where the radio/firmware are, you won't be able to change unless you go S-Off.
To answer your question, you can still flash many roms. Some ICS roms will not work because they require the new radio and firmware. Any GB rom and many ICS you can flash right now with no problems.
If you flash the newest 4ext Recovery, it will save you from having to manually flash the boot.img file separately after you install the rom. Although flashing the boot.img through the adb fastboot is no big deal.

No such thing as half-assed root. Either you are rooted or not. He just has S-ON meaning he cannot flash a custom PG86IMG.zip from the bootloader. Only PG86IMG.zip that are signed by HTC. Also he is limited to which partitions he can flash to.
Being unlocked is better than being rooted. Think of it as a low-level root. Like being able to tweak your BIOS settings instead of just being the admin user of Windows.
No it sucks. I spent 3 hours in boot loops the other night because of this f**king S-ON bs. My phone will not flash ANY ICS rims and any kernel that has overclocking capabilities puts me right back in the boot loop even using adb. My Evo 4G was rooted via Revolutionary, but this S-ON sucks. I hate it, but I'm not going to brick my phone to downgrade.

You must be mistaking. S-ON devices are really hard to brick.
If they weren't HTC would be loosing lots of money.
The least trouble you will have to go by downgrasing is having a security warming on your bootloader which can be fixed by flashing the signed PG86IMG.zip file COMPLETELY.
And FYI, Downgrading isnt the only way possible to gain S-OFF.
There's also Juopunutbear S-OFF which can be found HERE.
Which will only require you to return to stock/unlocked with root access. and a simple wire trick.
Good luck in your future bootloops though and have a nice sunny day..

I don't understand why some are telling JeffMeister that he is not or just half rooted. If your bootloader says "hboot 1.5 S-ON Unlocked" and you have SU installed, that means you are rooted. Sure the boot partition is read-only, but theres easy ways around it.
I've had hboot 1.5 S-ON since I had my phone. I've never felt the need to get S-OFF because there are tools to get around that now. I've been flashing ROMS back and forth using various methods with no issues. For hboot 1.5 & S-ON users, the latest and greatest is 4EXT recovery. It did an excellent job at flashing custom roms & kernels as if I was S-OFF.
I suggest you read the basics about flashing and roms first. If you do use 4EXT Recovery, make sure "4EXT Smart Flash" is enabled(it will prompt you on first use).
If I accept the ota update from HTC will it mess up my phone or make ne lose root?

I already have installed the OTA. My phone, previous to the OTA, was just rooted, no unlock & stock recovery.
I have an S-Off OG EVO as well as a S-Off EVO 3D.
My EVO lte I would like to keep as stock as possible, but with root. When it is now longer my daily driver, I will be more likely to hack on it. But as my primary phone I want it as easy as possible to stay current with the radios and ROM.
Does twrp have an option restore the stock recovery? Or do I need to download that and flash it via something other than twrp?

Here's what I just did about 15 minutes ago. Was easy as pie. Rooted my stock rom, installed Titanium Backup and backed up what I needed, lazypanda's s-off, flashed TWRP recovery, nandroid back up stock rom, flash to MeanMike's 1.4 rom (built on the new OTA). Maintained root, s-off without HTC knowing squat, got the new OTA with the dev's built in additions, now I'm golden.
Or if in steps you want:
1.) Root: How to Root HTC Evo 4G LTE! [Windows/Mac/Linux]
2.) Backup apps and data you want to keep using Titanium
3.) S-Off: [S-OFF] LazyPanda S-OFF
4.) Recovery: [6/1/12] TWRP 2.1.8 - TeamWinRecoveryProject - now with usb!
5.) Nandroid backup inside TWRP
6.) New Rom: [ROM] Jul-12 MeanROM ICS v1.4 | 1.22.651.3 | 1.5-1.9 Ghz | Mods | Batt saver
6.5) Flash New Firmware: Read down on Mean's thread about flashing firmware.

Thanks for the reply, but I have already taken the OTA, so going full S-Off is no longer an option, nor is it my objective at this time.
My objective is to have a Stock Phone able to receive a future OTA update, and have root access.
I am pretty clear on doing the HTC Dev Unlock, installing twrp recovery, & flashing SU from twrp. I'm just a little fuzzy on how to restore stock recovery.
---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------
Oh wait!
Does doing the HTC Dev Unlock wipe the phone? I really don't want to have to rebuild my apps and configs without being able to Titanium Backup first!
Is there anyone even working on a software root for the current OTA? I don't mind waiting for a software root. But if one is not coming, then I need to schedule a few hours to go the Dev Unlock route. Redoing my app setup and config will take the most time. Even with the titanium backups from when I got the phone it will still takes hours to get everything back to where I want it to be.
if you into rooting and custom roms and things like that NEVER accept an OTA from sprint. ALWAYS wait for it to be incorporated into a custom ROM. just go to the MEANROM or the stock liquid smooth ROM and get one of them. just a piece of advise.

It's just so unfortunate that having root access to your OS is something that the carriers want to so thoroughly discourage.
Like I have said, since my EVO lte is my daily driver, it must work well everyday, I prefer to keep everything stock. But I also have come to use root access often.
I love to hack on my older phones, when I have the time. But I don't always have the time available to research and implement hacks and mods, so I try to keep away from them on my main phone.
i respect ur decision but my evo is my daily driver and i have unlocked the bootloader, rooted and have s-off and have mean rom installed and its flawless man. i never have any issues like some ppl talk about. and whenever the new viper rom comes out it will be the same way im sure.
I am trying to do the same thing jsonger121.

I use mine as a daily driver, and for my job, it's a business critical aspect. It's easy to find a rom that's stable (Mean Rom), and doesn't "hack" things so much as enhance the capabilities that you already have. That's why I prefer to be completely unlocked, so I can do what I need to do, but still have the flexibility to accomplish the things I'd like to do. I've always thought that if you just want something "so simple, a caveman can do it", you go with something vanilla and boring like apple's products.

Hello everyone. Glad to be on the forum. I recently rooted my EVO LTE using zedomax's soft root method (non-bootloader unlock). I then unwittingly updated to 1.22.651.3 which of course ruined my root. Next I ran RUU because I THOUGHT that this would restore my phone to its factory ROM and remove any remnants of my old root. After RUU ran I then attempted to use zedomax's soft root method again only to find that it would not take on my phone. I am not particularly interested in unlocking my bootloader. The main reasons I root is for Tether and Roam Control. I see in the forum where the 1.22.651.1 soft root method will not work for 1.22.651.3. Is this true ? and if so are there any other quick soft root methods I can use to regain SU permissions for the few apps that I would like to use ? Thank you for the help. I am new to this and still learning. I just want to make sure that I have not messed something up and that I have done all that I can. Any advice would be very appreciated.

If you unlock you can, otherwise i think you're waiting......... This is from that thread......
I'm working on updating this for the OTA. Currently involved in another project, but I will get back to this asap.
For now, the manual way is > Unlock via HTC Dev, flash TWRP recovery, flash SuperSU.zip from the SuperSU thread on xda.
As I said to the guy above you, since your bootloader is unlocked, just flash TWRP recovery from fastboot, then flash the SuperSU.zip from the SuperSU thread here on xda.

Many have made this same mistake. However, the answer is very straight forward. Sign up at HTC Dev for an account, and unlock your bootloader. After you are S-OFF, you can then download xHaus's deodexed ROM which includes the latest OTA. Use goo.manager from the Google Play Store to install TWRP recovery, put the aforementioned ROM zip file in the root of your sdcard, reboot into TWRP recovery, and flash the ROM.
After this procedure, you will be r00t and S-OFF, as good as it gets.

Just to clarify, you cannot S-OFF using HTCDev. The device will be UNLOCKED, and S-ON, however a custom recovery can of course be flashed, and then SuperSU, or a custom ROM, for root.
S-OFF is not currently possible for those that took the OTA update while they were still S-ON.

Months ago I used HTCDev to unlock and flashed TWRP recovery and su-2.3.6.3.zip from this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
I was underwhelmed with the MIUI ROM and got curious about Sprint's ICS update, so I relocked the bootloader and ran the 2.17 RUU.exe, then updated to 2.89 OTA. After that I could use my original HTCDev Unlock_code.bin to unlock the bootloader, but su-2.3.6.3 would not give me proper root access (verified with Root Checker app). Thankfully downloading Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and flashing it through recovery worked.
I now have root with the stock Sprint ICS. Why? Because I wanted to keep the 3D and Wimax functionality (i know, i know) while still being able to run TiBackup to freeze the goddamned pre-installed apps that everyone hates. I'm sure this is stated elsewhere in the forums, but I read your post before I resolved my issue so I thought I'd come back and reply just in case you or anyone else were still grappling with it.

Thanks a lot, that really helped me to root a brand new stok rom on the Sprint evo 3d!
Just for future reference when you download a super user zip, notice the letters next to superuser efghi those letters represent the past android os's (e)clair, (f)royo, (g)ingerbread, (h)oneycomb, and (I)cecream sandwhich. Always look for that if you plan to root a stock Rom.
I just got my 4g lte, coming from evo 3d which I rooted and s-offed but recentlu bricked by flashing a recovery :banghead:. Anyways, Im on the newest hboot.
