Greetings all
When the LTE came out, root was achieved the following day, how long do you all think before we have root for the new ONE on the hoorizon, same thing for a ROM, how long will ut take before we see the first ROM?
Go here... All you need to know...

It has already been rooted. So I think the question should be "when will we have S-OFF?".

Yep S-off is the real question. I would bet by the time it reaches the US MoDaCo or another dev would have S-off already.

It is also only rooted by doing HTC Dev Unlock, there still is no root without doing the dev unlock and no S-OFF. Both of which I would prefer over dev unlocking. If I could get root without dev unlocking that would tide me over for quite awhile as they figure out S-OFF so I could at least get some apps transferred with data, greenfiy to save battery, ad blocker, and wifi tether.

Judging from Jcase's tweet I'm presuming he gained root without HTC Dev Unlock.

All of which you can do with HTC Dev unlock.
I prefer to not deal with the HTC Dev Unlock based on the added steps/difficulties that people have to deal with on our EVO LTEs. I also don't like registering my device that it is unlocked with the manufacturer, it is none of their business if I do it and shouldn't effect my warranty for hardware issues.

Good find. And I bet you're right, cuz there would be no reason to boast/announce if root was simply Gaines via htcdev.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Although that makes logical sense there is no rooting without htc unlock listed in the one forums so I am not sure that it does exist yet.

What is this? Exactly.. can someone elaborate ? Is that unlocked bootloader thing for real?
You guys need to tell everyone if they use the HTC unlock then HTC has their phone info any can deny warranty repairs to their phones.

woah, wait.....Im not new to flashing and modding, but I am very new to the HTC scene. Do we individually have to unlock the bootloader ourselves? Or is it something the devs do? If we (invidually) dont unlock today do you think that HTC will stop letting us tomorrow? I just dont want to kill my phone.

We individually unlock it. It's super easy. The instructions gives you screen shots of what to do. I just unlocked mine. Took about 5-10 minutes. I'm sure it will be available tomorrow but I didn't waste any time.
Tough to tell whether HTC did this on purpose or not. They very well might pull it later after they realize it/Verizon *****es them out.
I would at least go get the unlock token now, even if you don't want to use it right now.

I'll just wait for the devs to set it up where I don't have to give my phone info to vzw and htc. Might need my warranty some day.

Doesn't void your warranty to just get the unlock token... Only after you install it. But whatever.

Click on Unlock Bootloader. Follow directions. If you don't want to install the token, stop at the point that it emails you the token.

This htcdev.com unlock will allow you to flash custom ROMs, kernels, and recoveries. Sadly radios, hboot/bootloader, and I believe splash screens are a no go. Also, some things must be flashed via fastboot as opposed to recovery. (ie kernels) Considering this phone has some new security tricks not seen before its an ok trade while you wait for s-off IMO. I don't know if it will bring s-off any closer but I doubt it. I can't speak to the warranty situation but I would advise reading all the terms and conditions before proceeding. However consider this.....rooting your phone technically voids your warranty....

Yes perm root is as easy as flashing a recovery then using the recovery to flash the su and busybox binary. Then install superuser from the market and bam permanent root. (or just wait till someone makes a flashable package that will do all that for you.)

I have my two new EVO LTEs in hand. From an experienced user, what should we do?
I don't want to mess with ROMs for a while but I want to root my phones to use TitaniumBackup, remove any bloatware, and enable WiFi hotspot.

Sounds like you already know what you want to do. Just wait for a root exploit.

Yeah, I probably didn't ask the question the best way. I just don't want to screw myself if I update it and then have to delay getting a root method. I think if I root it and then perform and OTA update, I'll lose root, which kinda forces me to use ROMs.
Arghhh... I know stuff, but not to the extent I should to run off in the corner by myself with this thing.

I read that earlier but someone said it would void the warranty. HTCDEV unlock is new news to me as well.
I need to do some reading on the forums. I respectfully don't expect people to spoon feed it to me. I know that's rude. I just thought a best practices general outline would be helpful. I can search to find out how to do any of the suggestions.

That would be just a wasted effort. Waiting on a different unlock just so your warranty with HTC won't be voided is nonsense. In my lifetime i never, ever used a manufacturer warranty on a cellphone when most people carry insurance.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Admittedly, it would be a waste of time, but it's not completely absurd to this that some people may still want an unlocked bootloader without HTCDev.
In my case, I got my phone set up the way that I wanted it before regaw_leinad got his rooter finished and before flashable modswere out. As of now, I don't want to go through HTCDev unlock and lose my non-backed up data. I didn't wait on the Regaw rooter (or unlock it myself) because I didn't want a new ROM on it anytime soon. Now that flashable mods are out, I wish that I would have unlocked then.
All of that said, I don't consider finding another exploit a priority. Devs shouldn't worry about it when it's done for them.
I'll bite the bullet and unlock it eventually.

Why not run tb to back up all your saved data, unlock, then use tb to restore it all?
I'm not saying that this is your solution but there may be light at the end of the tunnel.

[BL] Unlock without HTCDEV
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
The HTC Dev unlock method for the EVO3D was balls. It didn't do the trick and you had to spoof everything through Fastboot (cabled into your computer). That is a much more technical route and more dangerous for noobs. Also the recovery put on didn't always stick.
This time however with the E4GLTE the HTC Dev unlock is great and has provided everything you need to get rooted. There is a nice automated .exe (one single download) that will do the entire process for you. Takes about 10 minutes. Pretty sweet and you even get the super user apps pushed etc.
I've been kinda hesitant to unlock because of the warranty void, but a method like 18th.abn's method makes this noob even MORE hesitant! Unlocking my original evo 4g made this noob very nervous a couple years ago, but I love flashing roms and would really like to see what kind of performance can be unleashed on my new evolte...
There is also a one click method available now.

Looks promising although since I've already unlocked via HTC dev what's the advantage of s off..as I understand we can already flash radios etc..also it requires root..how is that possible if u didn't unlock with HTC dev

Cool. Once someone has a write up or script to relock, unroot, unlock again with s-off and reroot so i don't get that red text on boot let me know. That would be the only reason i care about this.
Hopefully the devs didn't waste a good exploit that could have been used on a phone that needed it.

It was rootable for about 2 weeks after launch, then HTC pulled bootloader unlock support from the htcdev site... most likely at the urging of Verizon. People that rooted early got lucky, others missed the boat. But the dev community for this phone is outstanding so far. Unlock and root will be back one way or another. Believe that.

We did have root via htcdev.com but they shut down support for it, presumably because of pressure from Verizon. There are some great devs working to get us s-off...no guarantees but let's keep our fingers crossed

I was gonna get the phone within the first 2 weeks but u didn't have an upgrade available yet. I had the root method downloaded and read over the instructions multiple times exited to root it when I got it and now just found out u can't root it any more, I was very disappointed about this but hopefully we get another root method soon.
