Any other way of getting S-OFF other than Racoon? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I am on Jelly bean , Running Meanbean Rom, But I am S-ON and the Racoon method does not support my WIN8 laptop, Then LiveCD Ubuntu is a bit complicated for me. So is there another way of achieving S-off ?

Currently, no.
Edit: What Hboot are you currently on?

Downgrade method then use no-longer-supported LazyPanda to obtain S-OFF hboot 1.12. You'll also retain S-OFF status indefinitely (confirmed as of Jelly Bean hboot 2.09). I don't know if Racoon is the same way.

Downgrading hboot 2.09 will brick his device for sure Captain_Throwback tried and he bricked

[Q] Way to get Root/S-OFF on HBOOT 1.19?

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

HBoot Versions?

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.

Are you on 3.15 or 3.16??
To use this you need to be s-off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197909 (vipeRuu by Viperboy 3.16)
And here you can get the RUU for 3.15: http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Jewel (provided by JMZ)
That will get you back to stock unrooted... Good luck!
I'm on 3.16 and I have tried to run the 3.15 RUU and I relocked the bootloader but I just ran into errors
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
You need to s-off to run vipeRuu or follow the first steps from the s-off process before the step where you have to run baby racun and you should be stock uprooted but if you wanna get rid of the tampered/re-locked message, s-off then vipeRuu... Good Luck!

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.

I have the 3.17.651.4 EVO 4g lte and I am not S-OFF I think my partitions are screwed and I really would appreciate help.
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
