[Q] Possible to Root after taking OTA Update? - HTC Droid DNA

I recently had a 4g LTE tower put in near my house. It's amazing.
I no longer want to pay $75 a month for DSL internet that is 6mbs Download /1Mbs Upload, especially considering my phone now gets 20Mbs/5Mbs
So I have the OTA update (mistake).
What can I do to get Wifi Tether to work without subscription?
What can I do to possibly unlock my phone?
I would gladly donate to anyone that could help. You would be saving me a lot of money. Money which would be heading your way for what ever shenanigans you can muster.
Thanks

If you had supercid with 1's or 2's prior to the update yes it is possible. Otherwise I think you can still get s-off if you ruu back to the 1.0.0 version. Just unlocking the bootloader is def possible as I did it myself. Search the threads to find out how to unlock , if I find it I will post the link

You cannot RUU backwards, without s-off.
You cannot s-off without unlock.
You cannot unlock without superCID.
You cannot get superCID if you're on the OTA.

The reason you can't do anything on the ota is because you can't supercid on it. Everything else requires supercid. Ao if you have taken the ota and didn't do supercid beforehand then you are sol.

Juopunutbear S-OFF WARNING

Just wanted to to let all the people who are flashing there EVO 3D to boost and you do the Juopunutbear S-OFF method you will i repeat YOU WILL HAVE TO REFLASH IT TO BOOST MOBILE ask me how i know so dont do it if you can not flash it by yourself thanks for looking any questions just ask.
Yeah I experienced that when I did it Probably because it writes over your HBOOT, not 100% sure why it undoes the flash though, luckily I had flashed it myself anyway so it wasn't difficult to flash back. Funny enough one of the reasons I didn't do the downgrade to 1.4 method was because I didn't want to have to flash again
whats boost?
Boost Mobile, several people flash phones to Boost Mobile rather than using Sprint www.boostmobile.com
Have any of you installed the bootloader they offer after unlocking the bootloader?
If so, are you having issues with 3G?
I did and it Hands Free Activates and then 3G looks like its good, and then drops out comes back and then drops out entirely.

Just backup your carrier settings! I wrote a tutorial on how to do it using QPST and QXDM. There's a link to it in closeone's HBOOT downgrader tool thread located stickied in the cdma dev section.

Help unrooting

So I want to unroot my phone. But the unrooting guide (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577) is several months old I believe. Also, in the guide he says that you can flash the RUU to a newer version but not to an older version. well the RUU's that are linked for download are 1.12 and 1.13. I am currently running MeanRom which is 1.22. Is this a problem?
The correct RUU to run is going to depend on your H-boot and firmware, not on the ROM.
Why in gods name would you want to unroot?

I understand that it is not related to the ROM. but the ROM I am running is based off of the 1.22.651.36 RUU. So I could't run a different RUU. And I am unrooting to see if I can possibly get 3g data back. I have absolutely no data even when my wife has full 3g right next to me. If that doesn't resolve it, then I need it unrooted so that I can exchange it. I personally wouldn't un root if I didn't think it 100% necessary.

Try updating to the latest radio version. It might fix your 3g problem. I believe flashing radios requires S-OFF or version 1.12 of hboot:

It would be great if folks could also add:
1) Did they do the OTA update prior to unlock?
2) Did they figure out a way to keep the apps that disappear after unlock?

It's a bootloader unlock, so you can root, and eventually put custom Roms on there.

[Q] Updating Evo

So ill start by saying I've been scouring the internet all night and I'm confused as hell. I have had the Evo LTE since day one, rooted it the same day and have not updated it since. I am on S-On, 1.13.651.1, hboot 1.12 and have twrp 2.3.1.0. I want to update to the latest version, radios and everything, what is the best way to do this without bricking my phone and keeping root? The stock rom is fine for me I just need root.

First of all you have missed a couple firmware updates, but since you are s-on you need to update using a RUU head to vipeRuu thread and follow the script instructions, then unlock again using htc dev, install twrp and then flash supersu and busy box, you will be s-on, unlocked and rooted on stock. Navigation doesn't work on some jelly bean roms on some phones, it just crashes, no fix as of today, use telenav, waze or scout. Good luck!

I would suggest using FacePalm to get your phone S-OFF
Then you can update your firmware/radios
There is no need to run an RUU unless you need to go back to stock reason being you don't really want to update your hboot
Any questions shoot me a PM

yes you can root with out s-off but why not S-off of the ability is out there? S-off gives you unbridled access to your system for better of worse. Though you may be S-off you don't have to use it, but if you need it and don't have it then your screwed. Then you have to go through the entire process all over again. It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. This thread is a perfect example. He wants to upgrade his radio not impossible with s-on but far more difficult. When I updated my radio I just flashed the .zip file like a rom. No need to rename files place them In the root directory yada yada yada. Just my opinion.

By the way I'm not bagging you over it. Simply saying the phone came out in June last year S-off has been available since July the same year. A year later there are three versions that do the same thing. Good on you for realizing s-off needed to be obtained. Once you are s-off there is nothing that will keep you from truly manipulating your phone any way you desire.

Yeah, i rooted the phone the day i got it, the only thing available at the time was s-on. Phone was/is running great, but i noticed i'm 4 updates behind and i have started seeing 4g in my area so i though it would be a good time to update the radios. Thanks for the suggestions guys, i got s-off now and going to try to update later.

4.3 JB ruu will NOT save you after you upgrade hboot

Edited for accuracy:
For those happy folks finally moving to 4.4.2 (Verizon and Sprint most recently) please keep in mind that we do NOT yet have an ruu for 4.4.2. If you are S-ON you will NOT be able to save yourself using any 4.3 ruu if you have updated your hboot. Keep in mind an hboot can be flashed without any other part of an update so make sure you know what you are doing and what you have done to your device.
Just a public service announcement to hopefully bring people back to reality before they go modding their new 4.4.2 goodness.
Can't 4.4's hboot replace itself with the RUU's hboot,
(like usual 2 pass RUU install)?
Or did you mean for S-ON devices?
Im sure some magic can be worked for those that are s-off and can flash non encrypted. S-on folks definitely have to watch out. Overall its just best that people think before they play.

Aren't the s-off'ed and unlocked devices able to use their respective RUU's to downgrade? Example like myself I wen't from 1.11.605.4 official to the new 2.16.605.2 that if I ran in to a problem I could do the 0P3PIMG.zip from SD method or do the fastboot oem rebootRUU with the vzw.t6.0P3PIMG_1.11.605.4.zip and I was under the impression we could downgrade or upgrade as we see fit so long as we are s-off??? Isn't that how it's always been? I thought s-on users only really had to be careful since they could only upgrade due to main version issue and also not having a KitKat RUU now available if they took the update while s-on.... Some clarity would be great! Honestly though I thought the way I just worded it is how it's always been with HTC devices...

Last night, @waco2hot33 ran the RUU and went s-on to take the OTA...and was able to regain s-off, root, and unlocked via WeakSauce/firewater s-off...Here's how he did it
But, once you're back to s-off, and have root, no matter what hboot you have, you can run the commands from @scotty1223's thread found HERE to unlock the new hboot

Yeah that's incorrect hehe... For s-on users that stands true... They need to be extremely careful until something becomes available, but speaking for the Verizon users that took the OTA and are s-off... Unlocked is NOT necessary, just as long as they are s-off they can actually downgrade back to stock 4.3 for whatever the reason may be.. i.e.: warranty, bad flash, etc etc... It's 100% always been this way for all HTC devices that are s-off... It's by far the greatest feature or perk of having an HTC device... If you don't believe me then grab the encrypted vzw.t6_1.11.605.4 RUU and run it, you will see you will have no issues downgrading. While s-on users if they attempted they would get the main version to low error, s-off bypasses that...

Please read my post above yours. Waco went s-on, took the update and installed it, and was able to regain s-off via the link i posted above. Therefore, one COULD root the newest update whether they are s-on or s-off.
I did something similar but why did he s-on?? Def didn't have to do that... I got the OTA and it failed 2 times so I said F it and ran the encrypted RUU just to get back to a complete stock state in case it was a boot.img or something missing issue and I remained "s-off" and "unlocked", redownloaded the OTA after booting back up and the OTA then flashed perfectly fine with booting in to KitKat and still s-off and unlocked. Only thing I had to do was fastboot TWRP back and flashed the SuperSU v1.94 and I was straight!
Did he think he needed to be s-on to take the OTA?

Noob moment? Tired? Acid flashback? Your guess is as good as mine, but he went s-on and was able to regain s-off via WeakSauce temp-root and firewater s-off with newest OTA/firmware. So...success? lol
I got what you are saying.. You are stating it is possible to root unlock and s-off official KitKat but what Jiggity Janx created the OP for was saying to everyone to be careful in case they soft bricked hard bricked boot looped or what have you that when on official KitKat there phone may be rendered unusable because there is no KitKat RUU.... What good is a rooted phone if you can't boot it? I was stating that if you are s-off and can at least boot to hboot that you are 100% safe and can run the Jelly Bean RUU....

I understand and agree, but if you're s-on, the likelyhood of you bricking your device is nearly null. If you're s-off, you could likely use the 4.3 RUU and downgrade your hboot (i did this yesterday during a brain lapse after taking/applying the update).
So if you're looking if being s-off allows you to downgrade your hboot, then the answer is yes.

OP and or title should be corrected so it is not misleading to some looking for answers... Maybe I'll make a thread for users as reference for all the variants
I think the intent of the op was really meant for the users who are currently s-on and running KitKat. If they run into issues they likely won't be able to root and s-off and will be screwed as there currently isn't public KitKat ruu available.
Good discussion. Please don't discuss the intent of the thread anymore.

I think the intent of the op was really meant for the users who are currently s-on and running KitKat. If they run into issues they likely won't be able to root and s-off and will be screwed as there currently isn't public KitKat ruu available.

Therefore, one COULD root the newest update whether they are s-on or s-off.

I understand and agree, but if you're s-on, the likelyhood of you bricking your device is nearly null.

IMO if you can root it you can f it up. So s-on users do have some risk and currently there is no fix for them on 4.4.2 where there was a fix for them on 4.3 (encrypted ruu).
Good to see that soff users should be good to use a lower version ruu to downgrade if needed.
I have updated and downgraded to the stock version OS and hboot. But I'm also S Off. I had to use the decrypted RUU file though....
