I need some advice, I have two problems I need to deal with on my new LTE phone.
First: I received my EvoLTE two days ago and immediately Rooted using HTCDev and the TWRP recovery. I wrongly believed this would give me S-Off and obviously I was wrong about that. So...I need to learn how to get S-Off after Rooting. From reading on the forum it seems I have to do the S-Off procedure and then go through the Rooting process again.
Question: I'm Rooted presently, can I follow the S-Off procedure while Rooted which will un-Root me apparently, then once again do the Rooting steps? I don't know if I have to un-Root first, then do the S-Off steps, then Root again, or if I can just do S-Off which will un-Root me then Root again.
I haven't found a clear answer yet and appreciate any and all help.
----------------------------
Question: I've had my LTE for 2 days now, I've rooted and added apps that I had on my OG Evo but have not installed a custom ROM yet. From the beginning my phone turns it's sound profile to "Silent" automatically without my input. I can go to the Sound Profile and it will be turned to "Silent", I press on the "Normal" button and Normal shows up under "Sound". Within a couple of minutes the Sound profile reverts to "Silent". It's more than annoying to say the least. I need to fix this as I need "Sound" with the phone.
I do have Extreme Call Blocker installed and have it set to "1st Ring Mute", I wonder if that could be affecting the phone and making it go into the Silent setting? On my OG Evo I used Extreme Call blocker for over 2 years and it didn't affect anything. Just throwing this out there in case anyone has ideas.
I can't find any other Settings that would affect the Sound or that would make the phone revert to "Silent". I need some help on this one guys.
I appreciate it,
Thanks,
DC

As far as I'm aware, it shouldn't matter if you're rooted or not. If you do the dirty racun method (not what I did), you should be ok. There are a couple of stickies in the HTC EVO 4G LTE Original Android Development forum that you wanna check out. I used the method under [HBOOT 1.19/1.15 S-OFF] Downgrade HBOOT 1.19 and lower on HTC EVO 4G LTE method, and it worked perfectly. I didn't even do it right the first time I tried it (tried to skip steps!!), and I was still able to go back and follow the steps to correct my screw up. I prefer the one where I do all the steps, because I can account for where something might go wrong.

Turn off your profiles? I've been using CM10, and that's what I'd recommend. I don't know for sure, but I'd figure it was an issue either with the ROM, or a setting that you didn't think of. I don't really use profiles myself, so I don't know what would be causing that. See if it follows you into another ROM.
running dirty racun method shouldn't unroot u. are u actually rooted or just bootloader unlocked? if you are actually rooted u have super user or supersu app on your phone. if u are just bootloader unlocked and have twpr installed you are not fully rooted. u have to relock the bootloader, then run dirty racun, then u can just flash a rooted rom. that is basically what i did.
i unlocked bootloader, installed twrp, relocked, ran dirty racun for s-off, then unlocked again, then flashed meanrom and i was rooted with full access and s-off.
whether i needed to go through the unlock and lock to begin with i don't know.

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. I successfully used DirtyRacun this morning after first having my phone bricked and my 16g sd corrupted and ruined last night. The guys with DirtyRacun were great and walked me through an Ubuntu procedure that brought the LTE back to life. This morning I was successful in getting S-Off using DR. (what a relief!)
I've got to reinstall TWRP and will be reading on the forum about how to do that. I did the one procedure where you get it unlocked and TWRP installed with S-ON before backtracking and doing DirtyRacun's S-Off bit of magic. "Bricking" my phone last night and running the fix erased TWRP so I have to install it again.
thanks,

Easiest way to get twrp is,
Play store... Goo Manager,
In Goo Manager press menu button and select 'install openrecoveryscript'...
That installs current version of twrp

So like most users, I was very excited to hear about the ICS leak by Football since I've been waiting MONTHS for some sort of development on that.
Getting impatient on waiting for CM9 and Evervolv builds for the Amaze, I really wanted to try this new leak for T-Mobile. So I figured that in order to do that, I must get S-Off.
It seemed like a tedious process so I've been holding it off for a while. Now that I've got a copper wire and everything, I wanted to do the deed once and for all.
So I accidentally flashed a stock rom (which I thought was a good thing since the instructions said I needed a stock rom), but I seem to have lost root access. Superuser runs, but battery calibration says I need to have root first and Titanium Backup doesn't work. However, my phone still says unlocked and I can still run ClockworkMod Recovery. The S-Off program tells me that there's an error. Is there anyone that can help?

Well you are on T-mobile so you have two choices here. you can S-off if you want to have total freedom or you can revert your phone to stock and relock your bootloader and flash it and then re-unlock again. but remember flashign this without s-off may prevent you from getting s-off later on.

Well, I can't flash the PH85IMG without S-Off, right? Because on the HBoot screen, it would load the file but i wouldn't be asked if I wanted to install it. So I had no idea what to do. I thought I had to have S-Off to install it. Does this really mean I've lost root even though my phone says unlocked and I can run Clockworkmod?

Pretty sure you just use fastboot to lock, open a command prompt with your phone attached in debugging mode, type in fastboot oem lock, then install the stock rom listed in the development section. (If I am wrong on this, someone please feel free to correct me.)
Hello all, I have been coming to this site for a few months and have found a wealth of helpful info in that time for my previous phone, which was an HTC Desire. I recently switched to a new carrier (T-Mobile) and I got an HTC Amaze 4G. This phone came with ICS already installed. I have browsed through many threads, and read many pages in several threads on making the phone S-Off, unlocking bootloader, and have yet to really understand what exactly I need to do to root my device.
My goal is to just get me phone rooted so that I can install superuser and so I can use some backup/recover apps, remove/freeze most of the bloatware preoinstalled on the phone, and maybe install some custom Roms sometime in the future.
The only thing I have accomplished currently is unlocking bootloader. I still have S-On and Hboot 1.93.0002. I hate to sound like a noob, but after reading through many threads, I am still not sure what exactly I have to do to get this phone rooted.
Can anyone share some info that will help me get my Stock HTC Amaze 4G with stock ICS preinstalled rooted please? I can certainly use some help.
Now that you have unlocked bootloader I think you want to flash a recovery. Download hasoons all in one tool, check that you have usb debugging checked to perform functions. Most users are using 4ext. After recovery is installed flash super user.

I will need to have S-Off before I can use his program, correct? I will need to use the wire trick to get S-Off I assume after reading some threads....
Where I am getting confused is it says I have to be rooted before I can do the wire trick to go S-Off.... but I can't figure out how to get rooted first.
**EDIT**I just watched the video from Hasoons program on doing the wire trick, seems simple enough. Only problem is according to the instruction page on the juopunutbear S-Off page, I have to be rooted as a prerequisite before I can do the wire trick, and I can't seem to be able to figure out how exactly to root my device after I unlocked the bootloader. Getting a head ache from this
Don't look at the S-Off program. Look at this instead.

So while in process of s-off once I got to the part when you "fastboot oem rebootRUU" that went through. But right after trying to flash a zip im stuck looking at the blk HTC screen. I was given a "<Failed <remote: 99 unknown fail>". Now its just stuck.
I've been trying to figure out what happened but just have no where else to turn. Please lend a hand.
I think I already know the answer to this question, but what version is your firmware? Just for your knowledge, there hasn't been an RUU since ICS, or maybe the first release of JB. So, odds are, you flashed the wrong RUU.
But good news, you *might* not be bricked. Have you tried rebooting? This really your only option, anyway. Try to get into the bootloader. Flash a new recovery if the RUU has already wiped it, and flash a compatible rom.
Please also list your bootloader info.

It's not a full RUU in the normal sense. It's the one for Facepalm.
To the OP, did you gain SuperCID prior to running those commands? If not, then the process will fail. You should simply be able to hold the power button down & reboot your phone. Also, as stated above, list your device info so we can make sure you're using the right S-off exploit.

Happens to all of us. Don't worry about wiping the OS. Look for Captain Throwback's stock rooted rom, and flash a custom kernel along with it, like the Dirty MAC kernel or Arc reactor. Doesn't matter which one...rumrunner just needs a custom kernel.

After you flash these, then reboot into Android, set your phone to stay awake during charge Settings-->Display and Buttons, and also set SuperSU to automatically grant root access (open the app, swipe right twice, and scroll down a little). This way, you don't have to touch your phone. If you touch it, the process will fail....even to unlock the phone to grant root access. And of course, turn on USB debugging in Developer Options.
After you do all of these, then run the exploit.

This is odd to me, because I ran rumrunner at least 3 times using just my stock ROM (no custom kernel or anything), and it worked fine every time. I guess the new version of rumrunner added some limitations to make it more generic.
whats bothering me is that even after i check the MD5, it keeps failing to install capt zip. think maybe i can just use adb to push the zip file? just not sure how to word the command right to get it to load

No, don't. If it fails, don't force it. Reflash TWRP 2.6.3 (not the kit kat version), and try to flash again.
@Captain_Throwback: Yes, I didn't remember needing a custom kernel when I used Dirty Racun, but rumrunner needs it now. Keep in mind that rumrunner isn't for this device exclusively. Maybe that's the purpose of the custom kernel.
i'd wager you're trying to flash files that aren't recovery flashable, then lying to the people who are trying to help you.
i got it running again using capt stock rooted rom. attempting rumrunners s-off again now that i got this part working.
Are you using a custom kernel?

Hi there guys, I rooted my HTC One a couple of months ago. But now I want to go back to stock. So I watched this tutorial video on how to unroot my HTC One and got to the part where I'm supposed to relock my bootloader.
I had to stop the process because the application he recommended wouldn't run on my Windows 7.
So, I'm stuck with a relocked bootloader and S-on.
I thought about converting my device to Google Play Ed but realized that I may not have the right skills for that just yet so now, I just want to go back to stock 4.3 but when I selected Recovery, it showed "***Security Warning***" right below "***Tampered***" and "***Relocked***".
After 2 restarts it disappeared but I'm scared that it might appear again.
I really want to just go back to stock. I've looked in the past threads and didn't find a solution on how to unroot specifically for relocked bootloaders.
I would really appreciate some help please.

Did you use rumrunner to s-off? Are you using a patched/modified hboot? Whatever method you used to s-off, you have to use the reverse of that, or you could brick your device. The answer to your question lies in the method you used to s-off your device.
I'm not saying this is going to help you, but I did a simple google search when I did this, and this helped me:

Hello to all.
I have not rooted a phone in quite a while, since the original Evo. Here's the rundown of what I've been experiencing lately:
I unlocked the bootloader using the HTC dev method, it went smooth. To obtain s-off (I was on the latest OTA of 3.17.651.5), I attempted rumrunner. Everything went fine until I got an error with rumrunner. I then tried the windroid toolkit, flashed TWRP (v2.7.1.0) which was a success. When I flashed superuser from windroid, it rebooted me to recovery to flash the zip file "superuser.zip", but it did nothing. I looked on this forum and found a supersu zip file. I tried flashing a couple versions of the supersu (1.25, 2.01) but no luck. For every one I attempted to flash, I would get the message that said successful but no s-off. After confirming the flash, it would say "flashing file 1 of 1", but then switch to saying "flashing file 1 of 0". I ended up flashing a rom (CM11-20131217), which put the phone into a bootloop (I got this resolved by downgrading to TWRP 2.6.3.0, flashing the kernel for the CM11, then flashing the rom, which of course still kept me S-on.)
So basically, I have an unlocked bootloader, with TWRP 2.6.3.0 as a recovery, on CM11-20131217 build, yet I'm still S-on. Is there a certain version of supersu or superuser that I should be flashing? How can I achieve S-off?
Additional information that may help:

You have to run Rumrunner again. But flash stock rooted before you do (I don't know if it'll work while on CM).
Thanks for the quick reply. I will give that a shot, hope it does work. Is there a certain version of that I should flash before running rumrunner again?

Okay, thanks!
After getting some time here and there, I attempted to flash a few stock rooted roms with no luck. I'm not sure if it's because of the rom that I am currently on. not s-off or what. A lot of the stock root roms I do find have a requirement that you must be s-off to flash. I even tried running RUU's (4.13.651.4 and 3.17.651.4) for specific roms, but they gave me errors and would not continue each time. I remember when rooting and gaining s-off was much simpler than this lol. I don't even know if it is worth continuing to keep trying.
Check the link below for a ROM that is S-on friendly. Make sure you follow the directions in the thread to get it installed. Once you've done this you can go for S-off, at which time you should be able to flash whatever ROM you'd like.

Thanks for that! It worked with meanbean. I ran rumrunner again and it gave me an error, saying something about an update on rumrunner.us. I gave firewater a shot, and after it said "the first bottle is open...chugging", the screen stays blank for a while and firewater instructs me to try again and ends the process. From what I read last night around my searches, I'm supposed to get a notification on the evo asking for superuser permission but that didn't happen. I'm guessing this is due to the wrong supersu being flashed.
Glad I got a little further, I'm just going to play around with it until something gives and I am s-off
There's a setting in the su app that will let you grant su access to all apps automatically and without a prompt. That should get rid of that problem.
I wouldn't go with those settings for any other purpose though, obviously.

I went into the SuperSU app and selected where the default access was set to grant. I ran firewater again with the normal method and weaksauce method with no luck, it's still doing the same thing. USB debugging is on, and the drivers are installed correctly as well.

Disable antivirus software on phone and pc.
It ain't nothing but a G thing baby... Lg G3 LGSL990
Weaksauce is an exploit for Verizon phones that can't be unlocked with HTC Dev so it's pointless to try it on the EVO LTE.

Also, while you need htc sync manager to unlock your boot loader, it usually really screws with any other adb tools, so uninstall that too.

This. Also make sure you're using USB 2.0 ports, as 3.0 ports can cause connectivity issues.

First thing is that in order to run any RUU device boot loader must be 're-locked to do this enter into fastboot plug in to pc and within your Android unlocker folder that u use to unlock your device hold shift and right click anywhere in the folder to open command window then type : fastboot oem lock . This will lock the bootloader, now you will be able to run RUU. Just keep in mind that you may only go up Android versions levels ,, running RUU will stabilize your device and fixes the sectors which u may have damaged during the moding in the RAM .. Now for obtaining S-OFF the only option for you (since u upgraded) is to use DirtyRacun witch uses Ubuntu Live CD method and it does work. ***Now, if you just want unlocked bootloader with SU permission so u can flash rooms (not firmware or radio) and don't care about S-OFF then let me know to show you the options available at this time .. I repeat *you may only go up in android versions , in case that is necessary to go down then you need to deal with the CID. By switching and modifying the CID only then you are allowed to downgrade the Android Build versions
Dirty Racun isn't the only option for S-off
He's already unlocked his bootloader and has root. He's on the latest firmware version for the old partition layout: it's well-documented that methods like Rumrunner work.
OP, here's the thread for Rumrunner. I suggest giving it a read:thumbup:

Thanks, I will look at that now. I tried disabling the antivirus as stated above and that didn't work either, so maybe this thread will give more detail to help me gain S-off.

Sorry for the late reply. Correct, I'm using mean bean. I'm using wifi while doing all of this, my service provider is AT&T.

Excuse my ignorance but but how did you get sprints HTC evo 4g LTE codename jewel to work on at&t. I didn't know you could do that. (hint: are you sure you have the right phone? )
Anyways. As long as its an HTC it should be fine right? The problem would be the same.

Oh, I'm with Sprint, I was referring to using the wifi from my AT&T router. Sorry for the confusion lol.
