Facepalm or DirtyRacun? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Is this the software version number giving everyone the error 99? 3.16.651.3 710RD. Currently running stock Rom , rooted, and boot loader unlocked. Was wondering if Facepalm will work or have to use DirtyRacun? Just wanted to be sure, as this is only my second HTC to mess with.

Use babyracun to downgrade. Continue with dirtyracun if you want or finish with facepalm.

So the folks saying it works on 3.16, it was a previous version, right?

Doesn't work with 3.16 at all. Need to downgrade before you can S-OFF.

Well I decided to give dirtyracun a try, installing ubuntu as I type this. Doesn't seem hard at all.

I used the babyracun method using Windows 7 and then used Facepalm with no problems. You don't NEED ubuntu but that's all that those developers support.

Thanks for your help, I spent a couple of hours talking with team Unlimited in IRC as I was running DirtyRacun, got it finally, being a Ubuntu noob, I thought I would never get it. Wasn't that hard, just went ahead and finished with DirtyRacun, instead of Facepalm.

You are probably using SuperSu as the superuser app. You can go into settings of that app and select permanent unroot.
You can then lock up you bootloader by opening a command prompt and going to your adb and using fast boot commands you can type fastboot OEM lock you can then proceed to download the latest ruu 2.13 just search the on here for it and run that with your phone still connected to your computer.
If your soff you can just run the ruu or install a stock ROM via recovery.
Multiple ways to do it just depends on a lot of variables like what ROM your on, s-off or s-on, what hboot your on 1.12 or 1.15, if you just want root gone or you also what to dump custom recovery as well and if you want it completely stock like it just came out of the box.
Let us know some more info and someone will help out

It depends how you rooted it.
Its different each way.

Theres no need to undo the superuser app. Any unroot method is going to install the unrooted ROM

True, but still a way to unroot.
If he just wants to unroot that's the quickest way to do it and probably the easiest.

You are right. That's not what most people want when they go to unroot though. H-boot will still be unlocked/S-OFF and the phone will probably still have a custom recovery (depending on root method)
So get back to us OP

In that case, relock bootloader as per the instructions above, and then run the appropriate RUU for your firmware version.

If S-OFF it requires you to run the S-ON tool as well.
Its really a different process for each root method available

You'll need to re-lock the phone and then run the RUU then.

For h-boot 1.15 you'll need the 1.22 RUU

How to root on software version 2.13.651.1 170RD

Is there a way to root on this software version. If so are there downsides to running S-on like I believe most of the newer softwares are doing. Also if I plan to add a memory card to my phone should I put it in before rooting?
I know this info is probably somewhere on the forum but most of the threads I looked at are about a month old.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Dirty racun for soff (full nand access), HTC dev unlock for unlocked bootloader, twrp for recovery and fastboot/uniflash/bootimg flasher/flash image gui for kernel. Read don't panic for a lot of info on android in general. Unlimited.io for dirty racun. Grab the ADB Tools Mini SDK

Check here
So the second post lead me to the dirty racun method and the third to the zedomax modified method. Will both get me to rooted and S-off. If I don't have S-off will I have problems with a lot of roms here because of custom baked kernels. Ie CM10?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Far and away the easiest way to flash various kernel based roms is with s-off...
Use DirtyRacun for s-off...
Because some roms will include s-on kernel flasher and some roms will require extraction and seperate flash of kernel...

So all I have is 64bit windows 7 and 8 I guess I couldn't se dirtyracun?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Do a little looking,
DirtyRacun has been used on xp-32 and win7-64,
The unlimited devs just wont give support if these used,
They said its because they have not tested with those OS's,
I figure its because they don't have computers with those OS's,
But, speculating there,
Ultimately, you have to decide how,wether to procede...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
It's better that they limit the choice of os anyway as it makes support easier

You can use an Ubuntu 32 bit distro to run dirty racun, it runs right off a cd/dvd

Flashable 3.15 firmware for S-ON?

I've read that eventually someone will create a zip file that S-ON people can flash to get the latest firmware? I'm unlocked with S-ON & HBoot 1.19 and the instructions to unlock in the first place was a pain and it sounds just as confusing to get the latest firmware. Dirty raccoon also looks like something ill screw up. Does anyone have an idea on how long this zip of the firmware will become available? Unless its flashing ROMs/themes its outside of my league

I realize it's not a direct answer to your question, but I was in the same position as you until yesterday when I finally created a live DVD of Ubuntu and followed the directions for DirtyRacun to finally get S-OFF on my hboot 1.19. If you follow the steps carefully and take them one at a time, it's really not that bad.
I'm now running rooted Jellybean stock with the latest radio. Good luck to you.

As far as I know you need full write access to nand memory to be able to flash any firmware. Dirty Racun isn't too hard to run successfully
If you are s-on you have to relock your bootloader then take the OTA to update firmware. After you take the ota you can unlock your bootloader again. Although it is highly recommended to s-off because there's no telling how long it could take to get s-off for the new hboot.
I just relocked and ran RUU now im back up and running and currently installing the JB update. I may re-root in a lil while i will just rock stock till the new year. Thanks for everyones help!

Bootloader Unlock???

Hi Guys...
Just got an insurance replacement....
Running 2.06
Did moonshine s-off but need to unlock bootloader also so I can load recoveries....
Can someone please help me.

If you are S-Off then the phone is unlocked and you can flash the recovery provided you know what you are doing.

Your unlocked so now go in the app store and get "ROM manager" which will flash you ClockwordMod Recovery. (Easiest way IMO)
I am an idiot....I do know what I am doing but didn't realize moonshine it all in one step.
All good now...instalingl twrp
Or get Goo Manager and load TWRP

The easiest method really is to dl the Ubuntu 32 bit iso and make a bootable cd/usb of it and do moonshine from within the live portion of that iso. takes all of 30 mins and most of the time completes without issues everytime like clockwork.

Hey guys, this thread seemed on topic for my question. I have a used DNA on the way, I presume it has the new firmware.
Coming from a Rezound with S-OFF and unlocked bootloader, I want to be able to flash ROMs and kernels on my DNA. Do I just need to get S-OFF and then I can load custom recovery and flash whatever I want? This is what it sounds like, but just wanted to clarify. Thanks!

That is correct, being S-On prevents that, you would need to S-OFF to downgrade.
Why back to 3.14.605.12? Is there a problem with the global leak you are currently using? The 4.3.605.2 ROM is stock, just not officially supported by Verizon.

There is nothing "wrong" with the Windows version, I have used it several times. The first time I tried it it took a good 10 times to get the timing down though, and the last two times I used it on phones with 4.3.605.x stock ROMs I have to run it a few times to get everything to shake out, it would error out, the phone would get stuck in HBoot, or something, and I would have to reboot and start over. The Windows version can be flaky, go to the Ubuntu version and try again... Make sure you watch some of the Youtube videos on going S-OFF on the the Rezound, they can help if you are doing it for the first time, the wire trick is the critical part, the timing has to be just right.

thats because it links you to where and how to do it...if the windows s-off didnt work for that is your ONLY option to s-off....thats how most everyone else has to do it..also using the windows version make sure you read the instructions thoroughly....they will help...also make sure you have the proper type of wire...some wires just wont work
