I've previously rooted my EVO 4G and just recently, my Transformer TF101.
I'm finally bored enough with my EVO LTE. I booted to the Recovery/info screen and snagged a screenshot (attached).
I'd rather NOT wipe everything off my phone by using HTC's unlock.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I thought 1.15 was latest.....o.o

1.19 is the latest hboot and as far as I know the only way to root is to unlock hboot. There is a universal root tool but it won't let you flash roms and if I'm not mistaken it still unlocks hboot on newer htc phones
I have the new HBOOT 1.19 and Im unlocked, rooted and have TWRP recovery. Being s-on or s-off isn't a big deal. I could pretty much do what anyone with s-off could do but only thing is I have to approach it differently.

I have hboot 1.19 and my software version is 2.13.651.1 710RD. I'm unlocked, rooted and also have TWRP recovery and am s-on. When I rooted my phone it also gave me SuperSU. I'm super lost now because I can't flash any ROMs to my phone. I've tried the charmeleon ROM and also the tranquility ROM but when TWRP is at the end of the Installing process it says that it failed and that there is no md5 or something like that.
what am I doing wrong?
You have to flash the kernel separately unless you're S-off (or Hboot 1.12, then it doesn't matter).

I believe you have to do it through fastboot. I'm not certain as I'm on Hboot 1.12 and don't have to worry about it. Sorry I'm not of more help

Does anyone know of any kernels that would work for the Evo LTE with what I described up top?
Get the ROM you wanna flash, then pull the boot.IMG out of it's zip , then either fastboot flash that or use flash image GUI to flash while booted, the go to recovery and flash new ROM.
Boot.IMG contains the kernel.

MeanROM and JellyBomb Domination as well as others have kernel installers written into the script for people that are S-ON so no need to flash the kernel separatly. Click the names in my SIG to go to those threads
Also make sure you are using the latest version of twrp 2.3.1.0

Background info:
I remember rooting my wife's EVO 4G LTE and it installed superuser automatically and for some reason...I can't remember which method I used. Bootloader screen now says TAMPERED. I'm on 1.12 bootloader and 1.13 software.
But now, I would like to install MeanROM.
I really don't have the time to read through a lot of the forums like before since I have a 2yr old and newborn to help take care of.
Questions:
1) Do I need to unroot first or can I go into lazy panda as is? Would this be my best bet to s-off?
2) updating to latest OTA required?
3) what is the easiest way to get latest TWRP on the EVO 4G LTE?
THANKS!!

Just run lazy panda to get s-off. Download goo manager from play store to install TWRP. when you open goo, just tap the menu button then tap install open recovery.

Being on Hboot 1.12 you're ready to go. You don't have to flash the ROM and kernel separately-just download your ROM, boot into recovery and flash away. Don't forget to make a Nandroid. As far as TWRP, I used Goo Manager from the Play Store to install it, but you can also download it from the TWRP site. Newest version is 2.3.1, I believe. Also, for S-off you can run the Lazy Panda tool. I have yet to bother with it since I'm on Hboot 1.12 and can flash ROM's, kernels and radios without issue I'll get around to it eventually, though.

easiest way to get twrp is threw the goo manager app.. menu top right the hit install open recovery script.. mad easy! u have to have your bootloader unlocked to flash a recovery first.. then u can flash twrp.. i would run lazy panda.. read the instructions.. its easy also.. if your rooted now u can run lazy panda then when u s-off flash recovery
You guys rock! Thanks for the advice.
Lastly regarding lazy panda...please correct me if I'm wrong.
I was reading their website and it mentions about the stock RUU...if I'm only rooted, I guess I would already be considered running a stock rom since I haven't done anything else to the phone. I'm assuming I would not have to download and run the stock 1.13 RUU right?
I would just run lazy panda and presto, s-off?
Thanks again!

So my question is what's the difference between HBoot 1.12, 1.15, and 1.19. I see a bunch of people downgrading to 1.12 from 1.19.
I currently have 1.12 S-On and am looking to change it to S-Off cause it's a lot easier to change ROMs around, I was wondering if I should bother upgrading as well or...?
Thanks!

If you have 1.12 do not update your hboot. You can and should run lazy panda to obtain s-off.

According to their site, Lazy Panda is no longer supported. Now you have to RUU to upgrade your Hboot and use Dirty Racun to gain S-off. With Hboot 1.12 you can flash radio updates through recovery, whereas the newer Hboots you can't, at least without gaining S-off first. Also, with Hboot 1.12 you don't have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM. Those are the main differences as I understand it.

Hi. If I didn't search thoroughly for a question like this, I apologize ahead of time. But I was curious if there is a way to s-off hboot 2.09 that is currently s-on?
I have not tried dirty racun yet.

I went s-on since day one after I got bored of stock and have never had any problems Tbh, I almost pity all the poor s-off folks who were too terrified to take the ota All it takes is a couple extra steps to flash anything and its been worth it so far. I preordered so I had plenty of chances to S-Off early on but I don't regret it at all.

Now s-on is not bad at all right? The only con is having to flash boot.img through fast boot when flashing a rom?

Another con is you can't update your firmware unless you relock and take the OTA or hope a recovery flashable zip comes along
So if your hboot was s-off, how is it any different than s-on? You still have to run the RUU to go back to stock then get the OTA right? Or are you talking about some other OTA?

There are Firmware zips available right now for 3.15 that can be flashed in the bootloader but you must be S-OFF to flash them.Just flash and everything is updated except hboot,kernel,and stock recovery.
Flashing those firmwares is the same as taking the OTA except for what I mentioned above

Ugh - took the OTA on an HTCdev unlocked boot loader and now it seems hboot 2.09 locks down the systems (can't update supersu binary, they locked down /system?). Now on viperboy stock rooted rom...
Hopefully they come out with an s-off technique for 2.09, need to be able to "hide" supersu/root binaries on my device...
Any news on s-off for hboot 2.09?
Hi, I'm am a noob, I got the JB update, then decided to root my phone. I am unlocked and rooted. I would like to turn s-off but my hboot is 2.09.
I am trying to flash mean bean and every time it gets to around 25%, my phone reboots. I am using twrp to try flashing it.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or what I need to do?
Thanks again.

Are you S-off? If so you can use Viperboy's RUU tool and it will restore your phone back to completely stock condition.

If you're not already S-OFF, feel free to unlock and go through the process of S-OFF because Viper's 3.16 RUU has the ability of rewriting the security flag back to S-ON after reverting to stock.

Also the 3.17 RUU I have doesn't work for some reason. Any help is appreciated I would like to unbrick my phone.
A little more info than the ruu doesn't work would help... What error is it throwing? And what system are you on win7, win8, x86, 64bit, Linux, Mac... Etc

if you take the update, you may loose root. if you want the updated firmware, you can flash that in hboot if you are s-off so you don't have to take the update and keep root.

You most likely won't be able to take the update with a custom recovery installed. It would be better to get S-off if you aren't already, update your firmware and flash whatever ROM you'd like.
