Hello everyone i'm sorry if this question has been asked already,but at the moment I am S-OFF.Rebooted to bootloader and it says "UNLOCKED" in pink letters ,and S-off in green letter .Anyways thats not the point,i thought by using the Revone method we would have root. I'm I missing a step that I have to do to gain root access ? && i apologize in advance if this question annoys anyone because it's been asked before
EDIT: I'm sorry guys i figured it out..
I see you figured it out which is awesome but for others who has this issue you'll have to either flash a custom recovery like CWM and flash Superuser & Busybox or you can push those files with ADB but since you are rooting more than likely you are flashing custom roms so flash recovery then flash your new Rom and more than likely it'll already be rooted.
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img while your phone is in fastboot to flash recovery you've downloaded and if you are in linux you must use root to flash it so either su first or sudo for ubuntu.

I was actually looking for this answer too, since I used the revone method as well.
I flashed a Rom that was rooted, so I'm guessing that if I remove the Rom, or go back to stock, I would be unrooted? How do I go about rooting my phone. I see you mention making a recovery. I pushed a cwm recovery to my phone via fastboot, and I have adb, so what would be the best method for me? Thanks.
Locate a su.zip known to work on the DNA and flash through recovery. The recovery version I flashed actually provided root access

Or go to the development forum where there is a guide for what to do after revone :thumbup:

Im attempting to flash recovery and for some reason my computer will not recoginize my device in fastboot mode. I have the sdk and all drivers installed correctly i think, and its not working still. been at it for a while just did moonshine other night.

I tried to root it says Im rooted then Im not rooted then I cant install busybox. Superuser is installed. What do I do root again?I tried the the easy install method like I used to and always worked but I lost the file I used to use. Guess I will eventually have to learn ADB.It says s-off which I thought it meant rooted.
Rebooot into hboot, look for s-off if it says that, your rooted. If it says s-on than it isnt

It says s-off but cant do anything, cant install busybox, do anything with rom manager etc...
Too many possible solutions...brain exploding...
Roms are "rooted" so the problem is in the rom you have itself. If you have no recovery, simple suggestsions are...
-See if you are able to install an updated version of Superuser from the Android Market and fix your permission problems and let you reflash recovery.
-Flash a custom recovery via bootloader and flash whatever rooted rom you want from that custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179386
-Flash a pre-rooted stock PG05IMG.zip in bootloader such as the custom one in the rooting tutorial
somebody set you up the bomb?
were you able to get clockwork on at least(if it didn't get put on automatically when you s-off'd)
I couldnt get into clockwork, i renamed a stock debloat rom and tried to load in recovery it says it loaded but it didnt nothing happened.
Run step 3 again

Screw it it says s-off Im rooted but then I cant get into clockwork or busybox Im just going back to stock.
Try flashing a different rom, like gingeritis or bamf. If it doesn't load through cwm, try installing a working cwm like the above posts mentioned. And then try again. My guess is your still on a stock rom so there is no root functions available to you, or your cwm is corrupted

His main problem is that he says he doesn't have a custom recovery (clockwork) installed. So he can't flash this.
Only thing he can access and use is hboot right now so using my second or third suggestion above (which he would have to do in order to flash that zip) would definitely fix his issues. The first suggestion I gave would help in some situations so I added it first but as I said, 2nd and 3rd would work fine.
All this assumes he actually doesn't have a custom recovery but does have engineering hboot s-off. If this much isn't true, then he could just unroot and start over using the pinned guides in the dev section.

You are correct my friend, i have eng hboot s-off but I just need to follow the directions in the dev section if I really want to pursue this further. I went back to stock and when I have time or feel like trying again I will follow the guide as I re downloaded the files again.
I do have another question as Im a little slow lol. I have or am installing the sdk package now and to follow the dev root how do I get to the adb section. I just start the manager and go from a c: prompt nad use the line by line from there as if I tried using terminal from the phone it would get lost right? Sorry for the stupid question its just I used to use the auto root method that I had and it always worked then I lost the files. I also install all or everything it wants to for SDK correct?
ok on step 5 and it says device offline or error and is not working a little help please.
Ok I tried adb and I get errors , permission denied, tried several auto roots and get errors. This phone really doesnt want me to freaking root. Time to get a different phone or actually stay stock as it runs good and battery life isnt bad.
I stupidly unplugged my phone after unlocking my bootlader.now when i try to flash the recovery from the command promp it says waiting on device or something like that.it wont recognise my phone basically.i desperatly need help figuring this out.does neone kno a way i can flash a recovery without a computer,or kno a temp root i can use noq the bootloader is unlocked?

Well, if your rom boots normally, then you can download ROM flasher or 4rext recovery flasher from the GP. These apps are able to flash recovery under your android/

I was going to suggest that too, but it sounds like he's at the step after unlocking but before the custom recovery which means su hadn't been installed. I believe those apps need su.
OP: are the drivers installed if you are using a windows machine?

yes,ive reinstalled the drivers a couple times.i dont have su yet.im at the step just after unlocking bootloader.

Although the dev claims it does, Ramjet73 tried it and was having trouble getting it to work with the 3d. I wouldn't count on it working, but I do know that the unknownforce/closeone live CD hboot downgrade method and the JB wire trick do work.
I realize this is an easy question, but I just want to make sure I do this right. Being a newly released tool, I couldn't find anything that gave me 100% confidence that it is exactly what I should do.
So I was completely updated with my firmware, did the DirtyRacun, so now I'm S-OFF and ready for MeanROM, but first I need a recovery and root I suppose. Anyways, I need recovery first, but do I even need root before I install MeanROM or no? Nicely laid out steps would be greatly appreciated. My head hurts from everything that I've been through past few days. Thank you.

Youre basically done. Download recovery from the link I provided and Then flash mean ROM. The rom itself will give you root
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
or if you want to keep your own stock rom and build what you want out of it (since you're somewhat comfortable using fastboot now that you've done the DirtyRacun)
you could fastboot flash TWRP and then once you've got it loaded flash the ZIP for SuperSU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
it says there that you have to be rooted, but that's for installing via the market or goo manager. flashing the zip through recovery will root your phone

Kinda what I was thinking. Tried it. Installed via bootloader method after using ES File Explorer to put zip on SD Card. In TWRP now, so I should be good from here. Thanks.
I achieved s-off with dirty racun but I have not been able to get into recovery or flash a ROM. I am wondering if my bootloader didn't get unlocked.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
i guess you didnt realize why there are only roms posted in this section
1. You should know for a fact when you unlock your bootloader as is says TAMPERED big as hell after you do it. 2. You need to flash a recovery via adb "fastboot flash recovery.img" because your phone does not come stock with a recovery so it will not appear if you haven't flashed one. 3. You clearly posted in the wrong section and if you don't take time to read (rules and guides step by step) around here you most likely won't be helped and you may even get made fun of.

Have you rooted your phone, or have you only run Dirty Racun? Gaining S-off and root are not the same, and Dirty Racun won't root your phone. You have to unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and the proper su binary to attain root, at which time you can flash ROM's, etc.

When I use the command "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.1.8-jewel.img or fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-jewel.img" it keepingsaying "sending 'recovery' (7220 KB)..." and never happens.

Mind if I ask why are you trying to unlocked you bootloader and soff or your already soff?
Ok, I'll try to help best I can. Hopefully one of the more experienced folks can chime in too as they'll probably be way more helpful. I've got a couple guesses, but need to know a bit more. Please know that I'm only providing my best guesses as I haven't run into this problem.
What firmware version were you on when you tried rumrunner? It sounds like you already had an unlocked bootloader and s-off... through moonshine. Did you end up with a locked bootloader? If so, how? You mentioned that you went back to sense 5. What method? Did you ruu back to a stock rom or just flash one of the Custom/stock ROMs.
Here is one possible option. I would suggest reading through the thread thoroughly before diving in...
- Go back to 100% stock with locked bootloader and s-on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919
Then make sure you've taken any OTA updated to get to 3.06.605.4 and you should be able to use rumrunner.

The reason the thing is failing is because he already has a unlocked bootloader with soff. I don't know why he is trying to unlock something that is already unlocked. All he needs to do is download something like superuser or flash a custom rom with root built into it.

10-4. That's kinda what I thought too, but figured I'd try to confirm by asking a few questions. I have seen a few people get stuck with s-off but a locked bootloader if they goof up the process trying to go back to 100% stock. Thought I'd ask the questions just in case this is what he did.
Ok, I would like to keep the Stock Android, but would like to have root access.
I an unsure how to gain root access with out turning S-ON.
I could follow that and turn S-ON again,
But if you have another method of gaining ROOT with out flashing a custom ROM,
I would be grateful for your assistance.
Sorry for any confusion on that,
I spent 10hrs trying to figure this out yesterday,
it was necessary to put down and look at another day.
I have tried downloading superuser and supersu from the play store, neither give me access to root
However I have looked on your forums since you suggested simply flashing another rom already with root access - Thanks for that btw

You must already have a superuser app to install one from the play store. Flash a superuser zip from recovery. That will put both the app and the required binaries in place.

From what I have learned so far, running rumrunner when you are already S-OFF will net you a FAILED message. if your DNA is already S-OFF then feel free to flash whatever ROM you want.. well sorta, make sure it's for the DNA, and flash at your own risk.
I took the OTA after achieving S-OFF with moonshine and it removed my root access... now I am in this boat where I want to regain root.

I found some Instructions that tell you to boot into recovery, but when I try to boot into recovery all I get is a RED ! and Triangle above a screen. like something went wrong :/
Start by downloading ROM and the patch and copy the file to the SD card’s root in your device.
Reboot your phone into recovery mode. For this, power off your device and restart it keeping the volume down key pressed. Your phone will be booted into bootloader fastboot mode.
In the Recovery mode, use the ‘Power ’key to select and to navigate use the ‘Volume’ keys.
Use ‘backup and restore’ option to create a backup.
Now perform three steps in a row: first wipe data//factory reset, then wipe cache and lastly wipe dalvik cache accessing the advanced menu.
Now install zip from your sdcard, then select ROMs zip file you copied to your phone and choose zip.
Redo it for Patch file once you are done with ROM installation.
At the end, reboot your phone.

if you want to revert to stock, since i didn't flash the second till i flashed the first, i would suggest that you do that, if you want to go with another custom rom, follow it's instructions, if it asks for a specific starting point, aka stock 4.2.2 then flash the first one then flash the custom one.
