Welcome to moonshine S-OFF. Enjoy.
Important windows notes:
1.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
2.) make sure adb and fastboot drivers are working. (try HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe)
3.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
4.) if you are having problems with fastboot, try a usb 2.0 port.
5.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
6.) make sure other programs that interfere with and fastboot are uninstalled (PDANet, Kies, etc.)
7.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
8.) if you use a third party firewall, be sure to grant access to distiller.exe as it checks for updates
9.) MAKE SURE HTC SYNC IS UNINSTALLED
10.) YOU MUST UNZIP THE ARCHIVE BEFORE RUNNING DISTILLER. DO NOT JUST TRY TO RUN IT FROM THE ARCHIVE.

LOL, so is it safe to assume that during your testing you had issues with folks not removing htc sync??

Good to see this Fuses. Looks like an excellent alternative to Dirty Racun for those folks on the latest OTA that can't use Facepalm.

Awesome, Thanks
*Information IS the most dangerous weapon of all*
So my Moonshine S-Off failed when distiller.exe was running on Test #2 when it was waiting for ADB. Told me to fix it myself. Any ideas on how to fix it please?
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with where I extract "moonshine_jewel_3.16.651.3.zip" to? Should all the files be in the same folder as adb.exe? I'm running the Windows version by the way. Test #1 for Fastboot passed successfully.
Thanks in advance!

This isn't working for me. I get stuck at test 3. It just keeps adding more dots: ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
When you say removing HTC Sync, are you talking about "HTC Sync Manager" on the phone itself? Reason I ask is because I think adb isn't connecting to the phone is because by default, when the phone reboots, the USB connection type is selecting "HTC Sync Manager", which causes adb to not find the device. When I change the USB connection type to "Disk Drive", I'm able to see my devices listed when issuing the "adb devices" command. Does anyone know how to fix this? To make the USB connection type default to "Disk Drive" rather than "HTC Sync Manager" when it reboots? Thanks!
Regarding your first question, make sure HTC Sync is removed from your computer.

Yes, I shall try that. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for this!! Worked perfectly. Very simple. Just picked up my EVO after my Galaxy Nexus broke, have been wanting to root and S-off but don't have any blank DVDS to make a linux live-CD, and just got foot surgery so cant drive to the store... This method saved me there. Makes everything extremely simple. This is basically like a 1 click S-off, if you follow the directions. Thanks again!
This works perfectly I must say. Thank you very much!!! I am now S-OFF!!!
Make sure your ADB and Fastboot is working (this is huge), and HTC Sync is 100% uninstalled, but the HTC drivers are still installed. Your phone will restart probably 8 times once Moonshine recognizes your ADB the first time.
If anyone needs any help let me know. This is by far the easiest S-Off of all time!!! Now quit pretending having S-On is acceptable and DO THIS!!!

If you followed the directions 100%, then I wonder how this could fail. If your HTC unlocked, then you should have fastboot and ADB working, I would double check that. Make sure you have everything working and that you have followed the directions 100% perfectly, and it should be easy.

when you rooted the phone using either htc unlock or regawmod the necessary drivers were a prerequisite, you should already have the necessary drivers need to run a ruu. If you for some reason still need to install the drivers then install the htc driver package (v3.0.5). If you do not have or can not find the package, you can download htc sync install package and it will install the necessary drivers

so it found the drivers but now it wont let me use adb to push a kernal image. is there any other way to do this.
You don't use adb you use fastboot, reboot to bootloader and open the terminal in Adb tools or SDK and run fast boot flash boot boot.img and make sure the image file is in the same folder or type the full extension address for the boot image
I already unlocked my phone but S-ON is still active. I looked into the dirtyraccun method but it mentions to not flash a custom recovery. I already have TRWM and Viper Rom installed. What would be the best method for getting S-Off? I have the latest firmware.

Make sure you have the latest HTC driver installed. Use a USB 2.0 port, make sure that HTC Sync is not installed on your computer, and that your computer antivirus is off.
You can get the latest driver in the link below. Use the HTC driver from post #2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179776
Also, it may take a few attempts before Moonshine is successful. On the phone I recently Moonshined, it took a few tries before it succeeded, and I had everything set up correctly.

I've been running into the same issues! It keeps getting stuck on the second step! I've been following all your suggestions you posted in my other thread as well. At least it got me to the second step in Moonshine.
All HTC drivers were removed and the new ones were reinstalled. Computer and phone rebooted, USB 2.0 port, etc... I even went to another PC and ran into the same problems. I'll try it some more since you said it took a few tries.
Edit: Now it won't establish a connection to complete the first step in fastboot even though the PC keeps making sounds when fastboot USB gets turned on

You have to use a live CD with Dirty Racun if you are running Windows. To answer your second question, no, you can't use terminal emulator on your phone, either. Please be careful with what you're doing, otherwise you risk having an expensive paperweight in your hand. Personally I would have gone the Moonshine route It's Windows friendly and you don't have to fool with any commands, other then checking device connection with ADB & fastboot.

Yeah I know. I'm being really careful with everything - reading up before I do ANYTHING. I've done this to several phones before, but never had this much trouble...
Do you know if it's possible to still use Moonshine at this point? I've gone through every single step for DirtyRacun except for #14 which is to run RabiesShot. I have the RUU for 3.15 HBOOT 2.09 installed and running fine right now. If I can use Moonshine (and actually get it to connect to the device now), I would rather do that.

Make sure you're doing a full system wipe in recovery prior to flashing the ROM. You also might want to try opening a command prompt in your ADB tools folder while in the bootloader and type the command "fastboot erase cache" (minus quotation marks) and hit enter. Make sure you're connected via fastboot USB first.

Simple as the title.
Was following this and downloaded Revolutionary beta by putting in my info.
My device (HTC Thunderbolt) is found, but I get this:
Zerging Root... this might take a minute or so.. Failed to get Root!
Press (almost) any key to exit.
I did a factory reset prior to this and I have my SIM card removed. I am wanted to root my device to use it as a programmable device. Unfortunately I can not even get past this first step:crying:
I am seeing something about zerg exploit no long works but I really do not know what this means. Is the guide I am following which is a sticky wrong and should not be promoting Revolutionary?
Is there a simple guide to get me root access and update the OS?
If your thunderbolt is on the official ICS ota you won't be able to use revolutionary to get root. There is a guide at infectedrom.com that can help you get root if you are on the official ICS.

Yeah I have never rooted it or anything so it would be stock. It has been dormant for about a year so I am not sure what OS it would have been upped to but it is currently at Android 2.3.4
I went to infectedrom but I do not see anything. In fact I see absolutely no threads inside the Thunderbolt listings.
Seems like a dead community
You have to register I'm pretty sure to see the threads. If you're on 2.3.4 and you're sure of it you need to make sure you have the proper version of revolutionary for your hboot version. You also need to make sure you uninstall any HTC drivers from your PC and use the drivers they provide. Sometimes disabling antivirus helps during the process and make sure to give the command prompt administration rights before you use it. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable or USB port on your PC.

I did register and I see "stuff", but I do not see anything in the Thunderbolt forum nor am I able to search (I get an access denied). In other words I can't find the guide
So Are you implying I can use Revolutionary?
I do not have HTC drivers on this machine. Revolutionary does connect to my device, but just fails to get root:crying:

So i bought this HTC EVO 4G LTE off ebay, well it has a huge problem that the seller did not tell me about. It has somehing called TWRP installed and I cannot do anything with this phone.
I cannot get past this screen weird twrp screen thingy. i would post a picture but I can't. it's grey and has a bunch of options. it's like a main menu
I have tried to figure this out and to be honest i have no idea what i'm even doing

Okay so i downloaded and unzipped, The instructions on the thread are very vague
So I think i need to use a backdoor or something cause I can't get my phone to boot into android
Quote:
Q: But what if I can't get into Android?? Surely there is something I can do!?
A: Yes, I designed a "backdoor" to allow you into VipeRUU. However, BE CAREFUL! This skips important checks that VipeRUU does when it start (most importantly, if your phone really is an EVO 4G LTE!) but it will allow you to do this procedure from the bootloader. All you have to do is create a text file in the "files" folder called "bypass.txt" and then start the program. You'll be alerted with a few warnings when doing this.
Also do I need to have the phone plugged into the computer or something. I am so sorry but I am very lost

I've never done this process myself, but I'll do my best to help you.
First: reboot into your bootloader, Hold down power key with volume down key until it reboots into the screen where you listed all that information. It should have a white bacground.
Second: Naviagte to fastboot and hit the pwoerkey
Third: Connect computer to phone with usb
Fourth: create a blank bypass.txt file and place into the file named "file" from the zip you downloaded.
Fifth: Run ViperRUU and select whichever option you need.

Are you running windows? Open up a command prompt and try to get su access through fastboot. You may not have high enough privleges. Also, do you have HTC drivers installed? Once you're inside the fastboot menu, don't touch anything. The reading on the top should say "Fastboot USB"

Here is the link to the latest RUU I wouldn't mess with VipeRUU if you are not sure what you are doing.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-evo-4g-lte-sprint/news/
Do what BD619 says. I had hoped ViperRUU would work, but the stock HTC one is much easier to use and operate. Also I usually use Ubuntu in these situations due to how much easier it is to work things in Terminal than it is to use Window's command prompt. Just a thought in case you ever need to do something fastboot related in the future.

VipeRUU will work fine but he's still new this kind of stuff it can be confusing. It took me a couple tries to get it to work the first time I used it.

No matter what it's a bad sign if you need to RUU. Definitely something I never want to do. Means something major screwed up lol. Yeah I was gonna give him the regular HTC one until I read all the paranoid stuff the ViperRUU posted in his thread.

After the RUU finishes you will be 100% stock except for S-OFF...which I would leave in case you catch the bug and wanna start modding your phone in the future

Edit: Got it working. Thanks for all the help
Need some help. I've been trying to S-off my Max but I'm unable to. I've tried Firewater and I get no error. It just says opening bottle 1, chugging, then goes right back to command line.
Rumrunner gives me an error about extracting files. I have everything setup in my platform tools folder.
I am on Hboot 2.46, Sprint Max. I'm unlocked by htcdev, rooted, and twrp recovery installed. I really need to figure out how to s-off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Are you sure you have the correct drivers installed completely? When I did it I hit problems and it turned out that my drivers were not installed completely.

I installed htc sync manager, got the drivers from there because adb wasn't recognizing the device, once it was recognized, i uninstalled htc sync manager like the instructions for firewater and rumrunner say, went through the firewater instructions and nothing. I then tried rumrunner and get the error.
I installed HTC sync and left it installed, just disabled it once I plugged into the usb. Then I ran through the rumrunner forum. Beyond that, I really can't say since I'm not a dev or a programmer.

Thanks for taking the time to try and help. I've been working at this for about 3 hours now and it's driving me crazy.
No prob. Did you try posting question in the rum runner forum?

You sure you installed fastboot and abd properly? Here is the installation files for both:

Try reinstalling again may help.

Yes. I just had to stop putting the rumrunner files in the platform tools folder. Made an s-off folder, then put platform tools and rumrunner folders in it and it worked like a charm.
Version of windows?
After verifying that fastboot and adb worked properly, I just followed the
section for stock, locked devices, like Verizon's.
push temproot, push firewater,
adb shell
chmod 755 both files
run the temproot file (takes a long time)
run firewater, everything worked.
