There are no commands to type to get s-off, Read before you post, there are pleanty of threads for this already, and, the methods to get s-off do work, I've done the wire trick 7 times now successfully on many evo 3d's.

The wire trick does work. Took me a few tries to get the timing right the first time, but it does work. Getting s-off is worth the trouble of trying at least a few times.

I have a guide here for rooting and gaining S-OFF. If you are rooted and still on the stock ROM you can skip to Step3, otherwise I recommend starting with Step1 and flashing the RUU.
If you only have Linux available there is a link to a post that contains more info for that after Step3.

Sorry I can't provide a link (on mobile) but head over to the dev section and you'll see a sticky called Downgrade Hboot. Doesn't matter if you have root or not and its fairly simple.

I think using UnkownForces method of live cd is the best way to get s-off. Downgrade 1.5 to 1.4 n root with revolutionary. Takes 10-15mins and your only pressing a button and reading n following the steps after you brick your phone (on purpose).

Unknownforces method involves linux. It's closeones thread with the live cd you are talking about. It is super noob friendly also. The hardest part is the actual bricking of your device

The short answer is: yes you can, BUT you have to relock your phone first with "adb oem lock". Basically, you undo the work you just did. It's one of the steps in: Downgrade HBOOT thread "(If you are HTC Unlocked, you MUST RELOCK BEFORE starting) " and HBOOT Downgrade Toolkit. The latter has more detailed instructions. Basically when you relock your phone you have to run the RUU to wipe the device and return it to a stock ROM as part of the first steps. Enjoy.

Does it show up in the device manager? If that's the error did you look? I didnt use the juopunutbear method to s-off but that's got to be where I'd start.

Post 50, I found a method to temp root and set mainver low then used closeone's guide to downgrade hboot and ran the 1.13 ruu. And finished it with revolutionary.
Edit: also i am on a 3d not the evo v... I'm just running a v rom

Umm adb= Android Debug Bridge it's a way of using a windows or Linux command prompt to send commands to your phone. I'm not really the best for step by step instructions on setting it up but search around a little and I'm sure you can find a guide. Once you have adb working its just copy and paste commands. Besides it'll be good for you to learn a little about it. It can come in handy if your in a jam.
Edit: was just thinking about this more.... Didn't you have to unlock bootloader with HTC Dev? You should have adb setup already. It's just running the right commands.

Hey folks I was able to re-lock my HTC Evo 4G LTE, and now am trying to unroot it by running the RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB_45_S_Sprint_WWE_3.15.651.16_Radio_1.12.11.1119_NV_2.87_003_25007_release_299302_signed RUU.
Unfortunately, after letting it do its thing for awhile, I get a Error [140] Bootloader Version Error.
So installation does not complete and I obviously still have *tampered* on my bootloader.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Just found this thread with someone that has the same issue as me?

Am I stuck until the 3.16 RUU comes out?
Are you S-on or S-off?
There is no 3.16 RUU, and may never be, for that matter.
If you're S-off you can use the tool in the link below.

You might need to get s-off to use vipeRuu I know it doesn't make sense but that's the only way to do it since there is no 3.16 RUU, or use the method from dirty racun, which will downgrade your phone to a custom hboot to do the s-off process and your phone will still showing tampered-relocked message... but will be completeley back to stock unrooted...

BTW, I went to the VipeRUU and it looks like only Linux is supported. I use Win 7 x64
No, Actually vipeRuu is for Windows only, Viperboy never had a chance to make the script work for Linux, not that I know off, so you can use it, I was a tester and I'm pretty sure it's for windows only,,,
Sorry, I wasn't clear in my message. To use VipeRUU you need S-off. In order to obtain S-off I need to use DirtyRacun which is Linux only.
I've read somewhere that some people has been successful using dirty racun on a Windows machine but you won't get any support from the devs at unlimited.io just take the 'sudo' . /' and use fastboot commands in cmd from your dirty racun folder... Good Luck!

Hi.
I haven't updated the Evo 4GLTE since April 2012 and want to update it to whatever the current stock rom is. I'm giving it to a friend who doesn't have much experience with phones/technology and might accidentally select "Bootloader" or "Recovery" from the restart menu if I gave it to her in its current condition. Needless to say, I've been out of the "flashing roms every week" game for quite some time on this phone. I don't care if it loses root in the process.
It is currently rooted with S-On running Stock w/Goodies 1.6, Hboot version 1.12.
What would happen if I accepted the pushed system update?
Do I have to install Linux to acquire S-Off to return to stock or is their an easier method?
Thanks in advance!

You can use Facepalm to get S-off. It's Windows friendly and takes less than five minutes from start to finish. Afterwards you can run VipeRUU and it will update your software version to the newest one and get you the newest firmware, also (you must be S-off to use it). It will also return the phone to completely stock, unrooted & S-on. The link to VipeRUU is in the Development thread. Facepalm can be found in Original Development.

Thanks for the quick reply. In order to use Facepalm, I need to obtain SuperCID. The only method I found says that it's ancient and outdated.
I also saw (on the Facepalm thread) "SuperCID for HTC Evo 4G LTE:" and then some adb code. Do I just run those commands to obtain SuperCID?
Thanks again!

Run the very first set of commands posted in the Facepalm thread. You can copy and paste them into your command prompt. Once successful run the rest of the commands. Make sure that the two files you need to download are in the same directory as your ADB folder and you'll be good to go:thumbup:

Thanks for all the help. I finally had time to sit down and run all the processes. VipeRUU scared me a bit by being stuck on "flashing" while the HTC process bar (on the phone) was about 2/3 full for about 8 minutes, but then it completed and everything is totally fine.
I appreciate your replies and glad that XDA still retains such great community members such as yourself.
A friend of mine got this phone after his iPhone 4 got stolen (I'm trying to convert him) and he asked to get the latest firmware so naturally I began to root and installed TWRP on his device (he got a used one that's on HBOOT 2.09) but after he said he doesn't care if it's rooted. I tried to update it through the settings on the phone but, naturally after forgetting about that, it just boots into the recovery. Can I just update it through the RUU or will that bring on complications?
You can use ruu. The ota won't get you the latest firmware, if your HTC dev unlocked I believe you need to lock it before running ruu. If your going to want root/custom recovery I would recommend getting soff it makes things easier from a support perspective.
So many times my friends ask me if I can fix their issue and a lot of my suggestions usually require root.

Yes. But I would strongly recommend gaining s-off before ruu. S-off is rather easy to do, either Rumrunner or firewater will work. Then ask you have to do is ruu and install twrp and rom of your choice.

I was going to S-Off it then update but since he's on 2.09 the only S-off method requires Ubuntu and I just didn't want to deal with downloading Ubuntu, dual booting, installing drivers again, then doing the process since my internet is unholy slow (It took like 2 hours just to download the RUU for 4.3)
