I would like to give a shout out to bigdaddy619 & tilltheend714 - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Edited...
tilltheend714 & bigdaddy619....
Without these two I would still be trying to S-OFF my EVO. You guys just helped me tremendously.
You helped me learn a lot, have more time with the kids, and get my wife off my back. I can't thank you enough.

Re: Went dirtyracun s-off, how do I get SU & TWRP?
You have to HTC dev unlock your phone. Then flash a recovery via fastboot (or goo manager) and then flash SU. Look in the development thread. Think there is a sticky.

For real, you 2 got me through this.
Tilltheend714 helped from the beginning and understood I wasn't very educated in this, and you pointed out many things that were vital to my success (such as realizing I was still on 3.15).
I've seen both of you helping others as well so this is a well deserved post.

Kevin Bruckert Made a new discovery for #fre3vo on the vivow! Looks promising!
Nice to know they're still working on it. Which I didnt doubt in the first place

To my understanding it has to do with making fre3vo work with more devices, I don't think it's aimed specifically at the EVO3D
He who releases it first will get serious $

If you read the original Fre3vo/Fre3dom thread, Fre3vo is the tool to temp-root devices.. Fre3dom was the S-OFF tool that has since been discontinued. Although I'd like to have S-OFF as much as anyone else on these forums, I believe that they can do anything they like with their findings, and have every right to do so.

After rereading the posts, you may be right.
This has nothing to do with the Evo 3D or S-OFF. #readingcomprehension

He is one of the guys we all owe for giving us root, even if it's just temporary. I think it's safe to say most of us here would be going crazy right now if it wasn't for him being nice enough to share it.

Currently on S-ON want to go to S-OFF!

I am currently rooted and enjoying my current rom. I have been seeing a lot of s-off supported roms and want to switch over. these are my questions.
I am on vigor pvt s-on. I want to go to s-off. how should I begins this process?
What is the main difference between having s-on and s-off.
any answers and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Don't worry, the wire trick isn't difficult, you just have to have the timing right.
S-OFF allows you to do quite a few nice things
- Install Kernels via recovery, at the same time as the ROM
- Flash an RUU without relocking the bootloader first
- Nandroid backups will include the kernel
- You can revert to older stuff with no issues.
Basically you gain a lot.

I agree. There are several threads covering this and a search would have turned up the answer in no time flat but I like how nobody jumped in and flamed him and just answered his question. Sometimes its nice to just have someone actually tell YOU. We need more people like Nic on here

is it mandatory to have s-off to flash custom roms after ota update for htc amaze

This is what I got when searching Google and xda
[edit] I can't seem to upload screenshots from my phone.so before glacier guy give me **** I swear I ran search on both platforms. as soon as I get to my computer I will post screen shots when I can reformat to xda specifications
Thanks

Actually it think that may of been a dumb Queston considering you needed it for custom roms on the g2.
But please correct me if I'm wrong. Having health issues that are pretty serious so my mind isn't all there at the moment.
Please understand I'm doing my best
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
You don't need s=off... The ota updated your radio for you. U just need a custom recovery and root.
On a more serious note... Hope your health is ok man...

Thanks homie I'll keep posted on health thing.
Oh and thanks for straightening my question for me. Sounds easier than the g2. So just bust out all in one tool(unlock and root) and I'm all good?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
If you use 4EXT recovery, you can flash almost anything without s-off. And I hope you get better as well mate.

That will work, or just fastboot flash recovery. From there you can flash superuser.zip and custom roms.

I remember last year in the 3D forums some annoying girl kept posting all over the place, including the root collaboration thread. She got flamed big time cause she was giving some bs pointers on how to root the 3D.
She created a new thread, a place for thanks, and went crazy on all the smileys. Anyone remember her? Definitely will be a cat lady later in life lol

Not to hijack this thread but I remember!!!! The user name escapes me, but I remember her posting all that crap, along with spamming the IRC channel.
Right up there with a user with a name that escapes me at the moment, that claimed to get s-off on the 3D and swore up and down that a very dangerous method worked, and other users tired it and ended up with bricked phones. I did look back and it seems any reference has been deleted, but I do remember him earning his own "meme", but it was one of shame and disapproval.
Back on topic.. I would like to say thanks as well to all the devs hard at work on the LTE, and a future thanks to those that will soon join us! Without them we wouldn't know you can flash to boot, or do splash screens, or update radios via HTC's unlock method when s-off was the only way to do that in the past! Exciting times ahead!!!
It think it was stephanie85 or something close to that.

For helping me to root and add twrp and flash jb firmware to my phone. I really appreciate it!!!!
Yeah, there's some good folks here. Due to hardware, software, knowledge and confidence limitations, I was unable to use lazy panda for s-off. Regaw_lienad actually came to my house, bringing with him his entire home PC setup (keyboard, tower and monitor -which actually got scratched in transit) and helped me achieve S-off...........................TWICE!!
(my first Evo got stolen 3wks after launch)
I, of course, paid him for his time, but that wasn't an arrangement, he was coming to do it free, just to be a good dude.

I apologize only now while scanning through my participated posts in tapatalk did i realize what grave offense I've done .
The fact is i don't have an evo (as is evident from the fact that you wouldn't have ever seen me lurking anywhere around here). The post - 'seriously a thread for this ' of mine was intended at a 'best Rom' thread somewhere else ! I could have accidentally posted it here instead of there ! Damn it i have even reported the thread .
I would like to apologize and ask sorry to anyone who has been offended .
Kindly accept my apologies and bare with me for my mistakes
