Hey folks I was able to re-lock my HTC Evo 4G LTE, and now am trying to unroot it by running the RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB_45_S_Sprint_WWE_3.15.651.16_Radio_1.12.11.1119_NV_2.87_003_25007_release_299302_signed RUU.
Unfortunately, after letting it do its thing for awhile, I get a Error [140] Bootloader Version Error.
So installation does not complete and I obviously still have *tampered* on my bootloader.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Just found this thread with someone that has the same issue as me?

Am I stuck until the 3.16 RUU comes out?
Are you S-on or S-off?
There is no 3.16 RUU, and may never be, for that matter.
If you're S-off you can use the tool in the link below.

I'm S-on but keep in mind I'm trying to unroot by doing this. I have to obtain s-off to unroot? Seems a little counter intuitive to me

Yes, this is the video that I followed. My issue is that when I use the 3.15 RUU I get the error I described above. Followed the video's steps to the letter.

You might need to get s-off to use vipeRuu I know it doesn't make sense but that's the only way to do it since there is no 3.16 RUU, or use the method from dirty racun, which will downgrade your phone to a custom hboot to do the s-off process and your phone will still showing tampered-relocked message... but will be completeley back to stock unrooted...

BTW, I went to the VipeRUU and it looks like only Linux is supported. I use Win 7 x64
No, Actually vipeRuu is for Windows only, Viperboy never had a chance to make the script work for Linux, not that I know off, so you can use it, I was a tester and I'm pretty sure it's for windows only,,,
Sorry, I wasn't clear in my message. To use VipeRUU you need S-off. In order to obtain S-off I need to use DirtyRacun which is Linux only.
I've read somewhere that some people has been successful using dirty racun on a Windows machine but you won't get any support from the devs at unlimited.io just take the 'sudo' . /' and use fastboot commands in cmd from your dirty racun folder... Good Luck!

So, I have my evo currently running Android 4.1.1 with Software version 3.15.651.16 710RD
I tried using the methods given on unlimited.io. I even used a livecd for Ubuntu (but couldn't do anything in terminal). However, using everything in windows worked, minus the rabiesshot.exe file.
I somehow managed to unlock my bootloader and flash TWRP, but can't do anything else, ie; Roms will flash but never boot.
Is there maybe something I overlooked?
I'm not new to android, just HTC devices.
Take a look at the link below. I think it will shed some light on your issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256478
Most likely your issue is caused by the fact that you're S-on. On Hboot's 1.15 & newer you have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM, otherwise it won't boot. Many Sense ROM's include a S-on kernel installer to facilitate ROM flashing. Once you've obtained S-off, this isn't an issue.
Also, instead of Dirty Racun, give Facepalm a try-it's Windows friendly.

I tried using Facepalm, but I don't have superCID so I can't go through the rest of the process, I tried using the moonshine application as well but that didn't work either.
I feel like I've either completely overlooked something, or just giving it all way too much thought
Moonshine won't work unless you're on Hboot 2.09/baseband 1.12.11.1210. You have to use Facepalm or Dirty Racun otherwise. I personally have never used Facepalm, but I hear it's quick and easy. Perhaps head over to the Facepalm thread for more help. I think they also have IRC, too.

Looking at Facepalm, you must be rooted and have superCID.
I've actually been unable to even obtain root.
There is however a new system update. Should I try updating that and then running moonshine?

If you're bone-stock, sure, why not? Keep in mind your bootloader has to be unlocked, which may be the reason you're having issues with Facepalm to begin with. You cannot root if you can't unlock your bootloader.

My bootloader is unlocked. Which is why I'm confused as to how all 3 methods (facepalm, dirtyracun, and moonshine) don't work.

Yes I have TWRP installed. No custom rom, I'm entirely stock. I tried to flash a rom a few days ago when I did this, and it was stuck on the HTC screen for probably a good 45 minutes. So I booted into recovery and just recovered the backup I made

Remember the link from above that I shared? The issue is that you're S-on and you have to install the kernel separately from the ROM. Most Sense ROM's have an S-on kernel installer to facilitate ROM flashing. Try a ROM like MeanBean-just read the installation instructions so you don't have any issues getting it installed (you basically flash it twice instead of once. The first flash installs the ROM itself, and the second flash installs the kernel). Obviously once you're S-off this won't be an issue.
Also, you might hit up Bigdaddy619. I know that he recently helped somebody get S-off using Facepalm and I'm sure he can help you, too

all explained from the title, recently, my htc sensation screen became dimmed and i having a hard time using it, then i got my mother's evo 3d as a replacement
i want an advice in s-off and downgrading my hboot from 1.53.0007 to 1.49xx , so that i could install and try kitkat and many other rom :good:
1. currently i am already un-locked and rooted my evo 3d
2. if i want to downgrade my hboot, should i s-off my phone first ? wire trick by junoputbear right ? or is there any other way to s-off my 1.53.0007 other than wire tricking it ?
3. in wire trick method, im having a hard time deciding the right tools for doing this, i have a win 7 installed os laptop and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507616 that rom installed in my evo, it is said that i have to be on stock rom, could i just do this on that rom or should i flash other rom ? if its not possible, could anyone show me the right rom ?
4. if and if only i've done all that s-off stuff and so, could i use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172 to downgrade my hboot ?
and after that it will be a yadda yadda yadda piece of cakey for me to flashing rom right ?
i'm sorry for my bad languages, trying my best here >.<
The wire trick is what you need to do. On the juopunut Homepage there is a link to a Linux live CD. With this you wont have trouble with drivers, just follow the instructions on their page. Aftwards downgrading hboot will be easy.
Two beer or not two beer, that's the question
i dont really get it, should i change my rom first or not ? in junopoutbear its recommended to 'verify - You are on Stock RUU (not FreshROM, Stock Rooted, HarmonyROM - none of these will work!)'
I had a same situation with you. So RUU is the package to install a stock rom through a pc. Here you can find RUUs. According on your bootloader you own gsm evo and you must download a Shooter_U ics for your area provided on the link. In order to run the ruu you must relock the device in fastboot with "fastboot oem lock" command. After the ruu finishes you can unlock the bootloader again and do the unlimited.io procedure. If your evo is vodafone branded (like mine) your cid blocks the ruu and you cant flash, for this situation I suggest you to flash Yoda ICS and do the unlimited.io procedure, I did it with Yoda.

Before installing ruu try the wire trick with your current configuration.
Just follow the instructions on juopunutbear page.
You may need several attempts to get the right timing.

how to flash RUU .zip file on my unlock evo
A friend of mine got this phone after his iPhone 4 got stolen (I'm trying to convert him) and he asked to get the latest firmware so naturally I began to root and installed TWRP on his device (he got a used one that's on HBOOT 2.09) but after he said he doesn't care if it's rooted. I tried to update it through the settings on the phone but, naturally after forgetting about that, it just boots into the recovery. Can I just update it through the RUU or will that bring on complications?
You can use ruu. The ota won't get you the latest firmware, if your HTC dev unlocked I believe you need to lock it before running ruu. If your going to want root/custom recovery I would recommend getting soff it makes things easier from a support perspective.
So many times my friends ask me if I can fix their issue and a lot of my suggestions usually require root.

Yes. But I would strongly recommend gaining s-off before ruu. S-off is rather easy to do, either Rumrunner or firewater will work. Then ask you have to do is ruu and install twrp and rom of your choice.

I was going to S-Off it then update but since he's on 2.09 the only S-off method requires Ubuntu and I just didn't want to deal with downloading Ubuntu, dual booting, installing drivers again, then doing the process since my internet is unholy slow (It took like 2 hours just to download the RUU for 4.3)

Hello to all.
I have not rooted a phone in quite a while, since the original Evo. Here's the rundown of what I've been experiencing lately:
I unlocked the bootloader using the HTC dev method, it went smooth. To obtain s-off (I was on the latest OTA of 3.17.651.5), I attempted rumrunner. Everything went fine until I got an error with rumrunner. I then tried the windroid toolkit, flashed TWRP (v2.7.1.0) which was a success. When I flashed superuser from windroid, it rebooted me to recovery to flash the zip file "superuser.zip", but it did nothing. I looked on this forum and found a supersu zip file. I tried flashing a couple versions of the supersu (1.25, 2.01) but no luck. For every one I attempted to flash, I would get the message that said successful but no s-off. After confirming the flash, it would say "flashing file 1 of 1", but then switch to saying "flashing file 1 of 0". I ended up flashing a rom (CM11-20131217), which put the phone into a bootloop (I got this resolved by downgrading to TWRP 2.6.3.0, flashing the kernel for the CM11, then flashing the rom, which of course still kept me S-on.)
So basically, I have an unlocked bootloader, with TWRP 2.6.3.0 as a recovery, on CM11-20131217 build, yet I'm still S-on. Is there a certain version of supersu or superuser that I should be flashing? How can I achieve S-off?

You have to run Rumrunner again. But flash stock rooted before you do (I don't know if it'll work while on CM).
Thanks for the quick reply. I will give that a shot, hope it does work. Is there a certain version of that I should flash before running rumrunner again?

Okay, thanks!
After getting some time here and there, I attempted to flash a few stock rooted roms with no luck. I'm not sure if it's because of the rom that I am currently on. not s-off or what. A lot of the stock root roms I do find have a requirement that you must be s-off to flash. I even tried running RUU's (4.13.651.4 and 3.17.651.4) for specific roms, but they gave me errors and would not continue each time. I remember when rooting and gaining s-off was much simpler than this lol. I don't even know if it is worth continuing to keep trying.
Check the link below for a ROM that is S-on friendly. Make sure you follow the directions in the thread to get it installed. Once you've done this you can go for S-off, at which time you should be able to flash whatever ROM you'd like.

I gave firewater a shot, and after it said "the first bottle is open...chugging", the screen stays blank for a while and firewater instructs me to try again and ends the process. From what I read last night around my searches, I'm supposed to get a notification on the evo asking for superuser permission but that didn't happen. I'm guessing this is due to the wrong supersu being flashed.
Glad I got a little further, I'm just going to play around with it until something gives and I am s-off
There's a setting in the su app that will let you grant su access to all apps automatically and without a prompt. That should get rid of that problem.
I wouldn't go with those settings for any other purpose though, obviously.

I went into the SuperSU app and selected where the default access was set to grant. I ran firewater again with the normal method and weaksauce method with no luck, it's still doing the same thing. USB debugging is on, and the drivers are installed correctly as well.

Disable antivirus software on phone and pc.
It ain't nothing but a G thing baby... Lg G3 LGSL990
Weaksauce is an exploit for Verizon phones that can't be unlocked with HTC Dev so it's pointless to try it on the EVO LTE.

Also, while you need htc sync manager to unlock your boot loader, it usually really screws with any other adb tools, so uninstall that too.

This. Also make sure you're using USB 2.0 ports, as 3.0 ports can cause connectivity issues.

First thing is that in order to run any RUU device boot loader must be 're-locked to do this enter into fastboot plug in to pc and within your Android unlocker folder that u use to unlock your device hold shift and right click anywhere in the folder to open command window then type : fastboot oem lock . This will lock the bootloader, now you will be able to run RUU. Just keep in mind that you may only go up Android versions levels ,, running RUU will stabilize your device and fixes the sectors which u may have damaged during the moding in the RAM .. Now for obtaining S-OFF the only option for you (since u upgraded) is to use DirtyRacun witch uses Ubuntu Live CD method and it does work. ***Now, if you just want unlocked bootloader with SU permission so u can flash rooms (not firmware or radio) and don't care about S-OFF then let me know to show you the options available at this time .. I repeat *you may only go up in android versions , in case that is necessary to go down then you need to deal with the CID. By switching and modifying the CID only then you are allowed to downgrade the Android Build versions
Dirty Racun isn't the only option for S-off
He's already unlocked his bootloader and has root. He's on the latest firmware version for the old partition layout: it's well-documented that methods like Rumrunner work.
OP, here's the thread for Rumrunner. I suggest giving it a read:thumbup:

Thanks, I will look at that now. I tried disabling the antivirus as stated above and that didn't work either, so maybe this thread will give more detail to help me gain S-off.

Sorry for the late reply. Correct, I'm using mean bean. I'm using wifi while doing all of this, my service provider is AT&T.

Excuse my ignorance but but how did you get sprints HTC evo 4g LTE codename jewel to work on at&t. I didn't know you could do that. (hint: are you sure you have the right phone? )
Anyways. As long as its an HTC it should be fine right? The problem would be the same.
