[Q] Noobish question - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

My girlfriend accepted her OTA update to 3.16.651.3, its running Hboot 2.09, Radio 1.12.11.1210, i did an htcdev unlock, with TWRP 2.4.4.0 installed, my question is can i install meanbean 3.09 directly through the TWRP recovery or am i risking a brick?

yes you can install it just follow the instructions in the MeanBean thread for s-on install

Actually did the exact same thing... installed MeanBean 3.09 with TWRP 2.4.4.0....(with a little help from Cruise350 Big thanks to him)...but followed the s-on instructions and it installed perfectly the first time.

big thanks guys, followed the instructions, and i got her up and running with meanbean, she doesn't utilize all of the features but is pleased none the less, thanks again

[Q] Get S-Off after Installing Dumlock?

Device: HTC Evo LTE
HBOOT 1.12
Security: S-ON
Rooted
Recovery: TWRP 2.2.1
Dumlock IS installed
I would like to get S-OFF on my phone (since I’m still on the old HBOOT 1.12 that can be S-OFF’d), but I’ve already gone through the process of installing Dumlock via TWRP.
Do I have to do anything to “uninstall” Dumlock before I try using LazyPanda to get S-OFF. I don’t know if LazyPanda will get hung up or brick because of Dumlock
Thanks for any help you can give me.

just make sure you have a 1.13 based rom on your phone, i did mine with fresh rom 5.1.1. all dumlock does ( i believe) is allow to to install a kernel if your s-on. but also b/c your on hboot 1.12 even if your s-on you can install a kernel, rom and radio update from the recovery. you just cant update the PRI or use the full firmware package

ok, that makes sense.
I guess it's not a big deal to keep it on there, but in general, is there a way to remove Dumlock?

Becoming S-Off once rooted

I used HTCdev to unlock the bootloader, to root it, and i have installed TWRP 2.3.3 recovery. I have HBOOT 2.09 right now too. I am currently running MeanBean 3.0 right now as my ROM. I am currently S-ON and want to know the proper way to go about S-OFF so i can flash the 3.16 firmware and update my radios and pri. What would be the correct steps now to S-OFF so I can do this?
The system requirements, necessary packages, and instructions are listed on the unlimited io website

Stuck at bootloop after installing Viper3D rom

My phone gets stuck at bootloop after installing Viper3D. I did a ssytem wipe and installed the rom. Am I missing any steps like formating cache/dalvik? Rather, what are the correct steps since I can't seem to find any. My phone has hboot 1.5, unlocked, s-on, CWM 4.0.1.4

Couple things..
You need to be on hboot 1.58. You can do this by running the 2.89 RUU.
It will also help to get s-off and there's a complete guide on how to do this Here.
if I follow those instructions, would i be able to install the CyanogenMod 10.1? According to the thread, it says i must NOT have hboot 1.58 but I will gain that if I follow those instructions.
i followed the down and dirty instructions and was able to root my phone, have hboot 1.58, and have S-Off. Installed Viper3D with success. Thanks for the help.
Now my next question is...how do you down grade hboot 1.58 to 1.50?

Install the supported Hboot in the bootloader, which is 1.40 I believe.
simply rename the file to PG86IMG and put it in the root of your Sd card.
here is a list of the hboots

S-OFF with 3.16 / Thanks Unlimited.io Devs!

JManekia said:
Did you have to downgrade to 3.15 software version since 3.16 RUU isn't available? And after downgrading, which TWRP version did you use for recovery?

I will give you the process that worked for me and spare you all of the trial and error
what problem I had was I s-on unlocked and installed 3.15 RUU and updated to 3.16 with the OTA. This left me in a pickle because s-on wouldn't allow me to revert to 3.15 so dirtyracun would work. Now that they updated dirtyracun it works! THANKS DEVS! you rock
I unlocked/s-on and installed twrp 2.4 (inportant if you want to update firmware)
Then I followed the instructions for installing babyracun on ulimited.io
I am running HBOOT 2.09 so I downloaded the appropriate RUU from unlimted.io (3.15 RUU)
then I relocked and flashed the RUU per unlimited.io instructions.
Then I follow the instructions for running dirtyracun
Basically the babyracun isntructions allow you to flash the 3.15 RUU and install DirtyRacun.
I then was able to flash the newest firmware and reinstall my favorite ROM Meanbean (props to MikeyXDA) and flash firmware with S-OFF
Hope this helps

[Q] S-off Firmware update

I need to update the HBoot and Radio's on my Rezound. I'm HTC Unlocked, Rooted running Tachyon, and just did the rumrunner S-off. After reading through several post, I got so confused. If I am correct I need to re-lock then flash the Ph98img file in HBoot, or in recovery? Then I have to un-lock. Do I have to re-root, or restore my latest nandroid. Every post that starts off about being s-off ends up about how to do it while s-on.
Can someone please give me a step by step guide?
Thank you!
I have a downgrade upgrade guide...follow that and you'll be on latest radios and hboot...the last 2 ph98img files are hboot 2.27 and 2.28 which is the latest

You don't have to do anything but flash the PH98IMG.zip if you're s-off, no need to lock or unlock anything.
To just update the hboot/radios, you can flash the last PH98IMG.zip in REV3NT3CH's guide.
Back your rom up to your SD card to be safe of course.
