I have updated my photon by mistake to 2.3.5 in July with out realizing that I was rooted. Now in August I realized that I was not rooted since I wanted to try unlock boot loader. Any case, I tried the torpedo method, One click method and many others.
The problem is that the libphoton.so file is still there in my /lib directory and the permissions got changed. I tried to rename the references with "2" in the photon-torpedo.sh file but still didnt have success. Any one have any ideas on how to get back root?
Did yoou rename the libphoton-torpedo.so to libphoton- torpedo2.so?

I have been trying to find some time to update the photon direct method to deal with this.
Help needed
Any one to help? Over the week end I tried to modify the photon-torpedo.sh script. Basically currently I dont have any type of permissions to write into the /lib folder so my script fails even if I rename the .so file. Any other options? Is it something I am doing wrong?
Some people have had problems with the direct photon-torpedo method after updating to 2.35 OTA. What I did was do it using ADB on Windows 7 through my command prompt. Instructions here:

HTC NOOB PROOF FLASH TOOL
For Windows ONLY
Want to flash roms , .zips or kernels but too lazy to do it all yourself? Well now with the HTC Flash Help Tool (HTCFHT) you don't have to! HTCFHT automates all of the commands for flashing .zips and kernels. All you have to do is have your HTC phone on and unlocked with ADB debugging on.Soon it'll even unlock your bootloader! This only works on windows (tested on 7 and 8).This program is bug free! This even works on any HTC device that is unlocked or has s-off!
How to:
Before starting make sure that
-ADB debugging is on
-Phone is unlocked
Download v1
Planned:
Browser to .zip or boot.img
auto rename
Do you need help or have you found a bug?
Let me know!
Thanks to elkay for his awesome kernel!

Just did alot of work on this ... maybe a actually 1.0 release today...
What does this do exactly? If it installs the kernel without having to flash it from recovery, might be useful. Save 30 seconds or so of install time.

Keep it up-to-date with latest popular kernels/roms and I wouldn't mind downloading it.
I have no problem doing the commands manually, but if it can auto download and install kernels for me I'd love it just because I'm lazy

Tried using it to flash a kernel and it fails. When it asks to type ready or not yet, I type in "ready" and it says that "then" is not a recognized command. Must be a typo or error in the command scripting.
EDIT: Actually even the Read me option doesn't work. It just closes the command prompt. What OS did you test this on? XP? I'm using Windows 7 and there are likely some command syntax differences that make it incompatible.

Hello,
So whats going on is my QI wireless on my phone stopped charging. so i called verizon to get a replacement which they are overnighting tonight to me. so my question is, is there a way (step by step) to just put the Orignal Recovery Flash rom back on the phone and just lock the bootloader without resetting the phone? if so and do that. well the tamper disappear on the phone as well? ?? because they want the phone how it is. they dont want me to do a phone reset so they can see what cause the problem...
So 2nd question if i don't fix the rooting and ship the phone as is to verizon. Do you think i well get charged for rooting my phone???
Thanks!
Flash a stock rom and kernel, restore all your apps and stuff, delete any root apps, remove supreuser/SuperSU, flash the stock recovery, and relock if you feel like it. If you all that you should be good.
Or just ruu and relock your phone. As long as the problem still persists they won't care that you wiped it.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I hope the new one doesn't come updated because if so you won't be able to root. I would restore the old one and see if the wireless charging works again if so you might want to keep it if the new one is updated.

The download on that post is a zip file, which you would flash in recovery to have a stock Rom. Then you would restore your apps, remove any root apps, remove superuser, put a stock recovery on there and relock.

Only working on xt912 because of the older smart action version...Looks like they have fixed it that's why we can use it as we have the newer version of smart actions and as it is a systemapp we can't downgrade or change to the needed version because you need root for it...

Flash superuser in recovery.
Sent from my EVO using XDA Free mobile app
As mentioned, superuser would do the trick. SuperSU is another option out there too. I'd download both just in case you have issues. Most roms work well with both, but some roms (under 10% I'd guess) play nicer with one than the other.

If that doesn't work, try an older version from the SuperSU thread here. Seems I recall someone else having issues flashing the latest SuperSU to their phone, but an older version worked fine, for whatever reason.

Can you give more info about your phone? ROM (really only need to know if you're on new partitions), method of unlock & S-off, versions of HBOOT & TWRP or other recovery? I've had issues flashing .zips with certain HBOOT/TWRP combinations even while being HTC-dev unlock and firewater S-off, which is (according to others more competent than I) the ideal unlock/s-off combo.
