Evo 3D CDMA Sprint
I had it flashed from a couple of years ago and wanted to update it.
I flash a rom but it hangs on the reboot. Installed the sdk and have adb and fastboot. Have the htc drivers. 1.50 boot and S-ON and unlocked.
I connect to pc and run fastboot flash boot boot.img (after I extracted the image from the custom mod's zip) and it hangs on "waiting for device"
Please help get my phone back even if to stock rom. I will take ANYTHING that gets my phone back. Thanks!
Are you in bootloader, when trying to use fastboot commands? What recovery are you using?

I can't send commands to it, not recognized, and doing the devices commands shows nothing. I DO know it connects to the pc because I can put it in USB mode and transfer stuff to and from it.
TWO DAYS YAAAAARGH :\

Yep, and when I go to Fastboot and plug it in, it even changes to Fastboot USB, but the pc just hangs on waiting for device.

Take the battery out of the phone. Then put it back in.
Next, hold the volume down button and press the power button while still holding the volume down.
From here, put your phone aside and install THIS to the pc.
Now plug your phone into the computer in a different port than you've already used. Probably check the back of the pc.
Now, wait until the phone installs drivers onto the pc.
When all the drivers have been installed and say ready for use press the power button on Fastboot only if you don't see fastboot usb.
Again, let the computer install more drivers and wait until it says ready to use if a driver install prompts.
Now, download THIS and place into the folder that has the fastboot binary in it. Should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools.
Now, run a command prompt (type in cmd in run).
When the command window pops up type in:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\toolsand hit enter.
Now, type in:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.imgand hit enter.
This should flash a recovery.
Next, press the power button again and you should see just fastboot and let it load until you see recovery as an option.
press the volume down key until you're on that option and press the power button.
You now should be in the recovery menu.
From here you can copy a rom to your micro sd. Also, make sure to format all your partitions except the fat sdcard.
Then, flash the rom you copied. But make sure it's compatible with your current hboot before doing so.
And now you're back (i love how i just typed all that from memory, lol).

Done all that. Can't send commands to it because it hangs on "Waiting for device" although the phone does say Bootloader USB.
On device manager it has an exclamation mark and I try to manually load a driver from the HTC folder to no avail.
Remove the htc drivers. If you have non then download htc sync and that should install. Plug the phone in. In fastboot. See if it reads it. I think might just have to find the drivers you need.
I did that when I first started messing with the evo. I achieved htc unlock and root. I was on hboot 1.58 and i flashed pac man rom. My phone would just hang. I didn't make a backup before flashing the ROM. So I booted into boot loader, HTC relocked the phone. Then searched for the ruu for the software version I had before. Then I ran it using windows 8. It went through.
I was back on stock, no root or anything. Then I proceeded to HTC unlock again. Achieved s off using a piece of insulated wire from Ethernet. Flashed ROM, flashed hboot 1.50. Booted.
You might need to use another hboot. Try those steps to restore your phone. Let me know. (Don't forget to HTC relock through boot loader.)

The obvious other option to get your phone working again and back to stock is to find the latest RUU and run that utility in Windows. Just boot up into fast boot mode on your phone and that should be good enough for the RUU to see your phone and carry out its mission.

Well that is frustrating. I don't know if you have already or not, but as mentioned above, try removing every piece of software that had anything to do at all with HTC and reinstall the newest HTC sync drivers. Hopefully all you have is a problem with drivers.

Also forgot to mention, you said you can still connect the phone to pc and transfer files back and forth, right? You can get the RUU in PG86IMG.zip format, place that on the root of your sd card and boot into fast boot. That should automatically start the recovery prices once it parses the .zip.
I've gotten to the point before where this was my only option. Hang in there.

I would use linux booted from a USB or cd. Fastboot just seems to work better in linux.

If you can do adb command in recovery, you try
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of= /dev/block/mmcblk0p21
boot.img being the one you trying to flash in fastboot saved to sdcard.
Also I would use 4ext recovery.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
the most ovious answer would be to download the latest RUU for ICS, then run it, after it extracts and is ready to install DONT INSTALL instead
make hiden files and folders visible in windows go to your temp directory usually ( C:/users/ yourusername/temp/local/) google to find it for your OS in there there will be a bunch of folders with really long names like 7937498257239475297-37947 for example, start with the top folder and find the one that contains android files like adb and fastboot, in there will be rom.zip, copy rom.zip to your sd card and rename it to PG86IMG.zip then return to the bootloader on your phone and flash it directly from the device.
in other words
Download this RUU http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...06__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed.exe
- Open/Run the .exe (windows key on your keybord and the letter "R")
or
- Click the Start button
- Select the Run command
- type in: %temp%
- Search for a folder that has a bunch of characters and looks somewhat like this: {XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX}
- And inside that folder should be another folder that looks the same, and has the format above.
- Find a zip file called rom.zip
- Rename rom.zip to PG86IMG.zip
- place PG86IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard (not in any folders just on the card)
- pull the battery on the phone
- replace the battery and boot into the bootloader (power plus volume down)
- wait for it to load then flash by following the on screen directions

Its from the One forum, however the same version is posted in many other devices forum's as it lists multiple devices for support.
Its actually what I use for all my devices that support it instead of the OEM provided ones.
Works on my Windows 8 system with my HTC and ASUS devices w/o issue!
(This of course is to resolve the ! you have in the device manager for it, nothing else)

UPDATE 08-20-11.Ok Guys, I have been getting quite a few PMs and replies to the post regarding the New (OTA) software update. Rather than replying to every post or PM Here is the Answer...
If you have updated your phone using the Offical OTA with the latest Hboot 1.50 Then you CANNOT Root your phone using the Revolutionary method. The Revolutionary Tool only supports 1.30 and 1.40 Hboot for NOW.
In short if you Update your phone in Excitment or without thinking you are SOL for NOW...
Update 08-17-11 As Pointed out by a few users there is an update to the revolutionary Tool it's now 0.4Pre4, I have updated the revolutionary Zip found in the link provided to include this new update...
First and foremost many thanks to Unrevoked,AlphaRev,TeamWin and all the other devs that have made this possible. Endless RESPECT & LOVE to the Devs...
Now on to the fun and EASY stuff. There are a lot of guide on how to final permanently root your Evo 3D. This to me is just another method and hopefully others who are having issues with doing the process will find this easy as 123... It may look like a lot of reading but it's very simple and detailed.
Hope This will help those who have been frustrated with other methods/guide
I have tired both ADB and this method to obtain S-Off and then custom recovery... I have also included all the files needed in 1 link to complete this steps.
***Link***http://www.mediafire.com/file/5w6hovty8y79wey/EVO 3D All Files Update 08-17-11.zip
AFTER DOWNLOADING ALL FILES PLEASE EXTRACT JUST THE REVOLUTIONARY FOLDER. PLACE THE OTHER THREE ZIP FILES AS IS ON THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD (PG86IMG_eng-hboot, su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned AND TWR). tHE htc DRIVERS IS OPTONAL, IF YOU HAVE THE DRIVERS INSTALL THEN YOU CAN DELETE IT.
Prerequisite
STEP 1: S-Off & ClockWork Mod Recovery (CMR)
1. There are 4 zip files in the folder from the link provided, the ONLY 1 you should extract is the revolutionary folder. The other three files should remain as zip files and should be on the root of your SD card...
2. Make sure you have ADB enable on your device (Menu--Settings--Applications--Development-- USB Debugging).
3. Connect your phone to your PC, select charge only. If you do not have the HTC drivers installed then you show find the exe in the revolutionary folder. Run the .exe to install the HTC android phone usb device. To verify if the device has been install right click (My computer) or (computer) ---Manage-- Device Manager--Double click Disk drives. Your phone should be listed a usb device.
Once this is done4. Open up the revolutionary folder, you should copy/extract all the files by now. Run revolutionary.exe. You will now need to go to http://revolutionary.io/ to get your Beta key. Just click on download (u already have the file) so you don't have to save it. Enter your Hboot version and serial number, generate your key. Enter your key exactly as shown...
5.If you have successfully enter your key the S-off Process will begin. You will be prompted to download Clockwork Mod Recovery (CMR). hit Y and enter to install CMR... Your Phone should reboot and once you are on your home screen you should have S-Off... End of Step 1...
Ok now that you have obtain S-off it's Time for Team Win custom recovery Project (TWRP) + Eng H-boot. I would recommend you check to see if you have clockwork mod recovery before you continue. Power down your phone. REMOVE the battery, put it back in. Hold your hand on the volume down button while pressing the power button. release the power button after a few secs while still holding the volume down button. Your phone should boot to Hboot/bootloader menu. You should see S-off on the top. Now press volume down to select recovery and press the power button to boot into recovery. Your phone should boot into clockwork mod recovery. Make a nandroid backup of your system if you like. Now install "Super user fixed" seeing that you are already in recovery.
Go back to the clockwork mod recovery main menu if you did a back up, if not select install zip... look for su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned and install/flash. reboot your phone. You can open your App draw to see if you have super user install Just for fun...
You are almost home...
STEP 2. Flash Eng Hboot, Team WIN recovery
1. Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and look for PG86IMG_eng-hboot RENAME it to PG86IMG. If you do not have it on your SD card then copy/move it to the root of your SD card.
2. Remove your phone from the computer and power of your phone. Remove the battery and put it back in. Reboot into recovery (hold vol down + power button for a few secs). Your phone should boot to the bootloader and it should pick up the PG86IMG which is your eng-hboot.
3. Press the Vol up button for yes to flash the PG86IMG. Reboot your phone when done. You have now install your eng-hboot without ADB...
4. Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and REMOVE or REMAIN the PG86IMG. I would recommend you just remove it. Make sure you have the zip folder TWR on your SD card. If not now is a good time to do so. Once this is done remove the phone from the computer and power down your phone. Remove the battery and then back in.
5. Boot into recovery once more (should be a semi pro by now ) Remember vol down and power for a few secs.
6. Go to recovery (vol down) then press power to select. Your phone should boot into clockwork mod recovery. Select install zip... look for TWR and flash/install it. Once down reboot your phone You have successfully install a custom recovery(Team WIN Recovery) AGAIN no ADB or fastboot... You can download quickboot from the market and boot into reocvery which should take u to Team WIN Recovery Project...
7. WE ARE ALL DONE, if you have follow these steps correctly....
***Link Again***http://www.mediafire.com/file/5w6hovty8y79wey/EVO 3D All Files Update 08-17-11.zip
Update 08-17-11 Alternate Method Greetings All,
Did not want to start a new Thread so am Adding an Alternate method for those of you who have been asking if you can Flash TWR and the Eng H-boot Via the Bootloader. The step above was a step by step guide for beginners. Here is the Alternate method for standard & advance users.
If you do not want to Flash the two Zips (Eng hboot, TWR) via recovery then do this:
Steps
1. Obtain S-Off via revolutionary (it is up to you if you want to flash CWR , works both ways...) Reboot... Once Done...
2. Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and look for PG86IMG_eng-hboot RENAME it to PG86IMG
3.Boot into recovery, it should automatically pick up the PG86IMG and ask if you would like to update. Select Yes and once done reboot your phone.
4.Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and REMOVE or REMAIN the PG86IMG. I would recommend you just remove it.
5. Now you will need to rename the TWR to PG86IMG, disconnect your phone from the PC once done.
6. Boot into recovery, it should automatically pick up the PG86IMG and ask if you would like to update. Select Yes and once done reboot your phone.
7. Important: You would need to go to recovery 1 final time to flash the Super User (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned).
ALL DONE ,yet another simple way to Root Your HTC EVO3D
JahNile
Evo 3D
Finally now With S-Off + Eng Hboot+ TWRP
Would it be possible to use your Eng Hboot without ClockWork Mod? I accidently hit no instead of yes, I can't figure out why ADB is not working.
You may be able to flash the eng hboot seeing that you now have S off. However you may not be able to flash superuser (SU) and TWR. This requires a custom recovery I believe. You can approach this a few ways. You can try to push the TWR via fastboot /adb then SU. You can also go back to S-On then start from the beginning again.
Both methods can be found in the forum. Good luck.

is this the same ENG Hboot version that was posted in another thread.
Yes all files are from the forum no changes. Just place them into 1 folder rather than post links to them... Try to make it as simple as possible 4 every 1.

Pretty good guide just a few comments that may prevent confusion.... A couple times you say reboot to recovery via power and volume but your are actually booting to bootloader then letting it find a .img or selecting recovery from the menu. I think that's what you were trying to say but like I said trying to prevent confusion. Also I'm almost 100% positive a back up made I'm CWM won't work with TWRP. Otherwise great job I'm sure there will be many people that will appreciate this guide and not having to use fastboot or adb.
Edit: changed a few things in my post... It's late and my brain is toast. Also you can hold off on installing CWM and just install TWRP from the bootloader after renaming it just like the hboot.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Correct you can install TWR that way as well and def.ly u can reboot to the bootloader instead. Just wanted to be a little detailed. Tx 4 the editing.
If you want to install TWR VIA the bootloader you would need to rename the TWR zip to PG86IMG...
Btw u can flash TWR via clockwork. You r only flashing a zip file so it does work.

hey guys what are the advantages of the eng hboot for are phones other than the 1.30 and the 1.40?
Do you run into the problem with the error for not being able make calls receiev texts..etc?
Yes forgot to mention this. That happen to a few users who have rooted their evo 3D. Just call sprint and they will reset your profile no questions ask. Just tell them no voice services. Its actually a 5 mins or less call. Think its their new fraud protection system kicking in.
u should be up and running in no time easy. They gonna back you remove the battery then put it back In while they update your profile. Then they will have you place a test call and then the Rep will call u to confirm you can recv calls also.

If am not mistake for the most part The ENG hboot is what unlocks NAND protection. Without the NAND unlock, we wouldn't be able to flash ROMs or have custom recovery. Hope this helps.

The ENG HBOOT gives you access to more fastboot commands. For the average user you will not notice the difference. The only time you may need it is if you soft brick your phone... the extra fastboot commands can help you recover. Bottom line is better have it to be safe cause there are no negative side effects.
thanks

Once your are rooted any wireless tethering app should work. The wifi tether from Google on the market works. There are also some custom stock rom that includes the wifi tether app along with a working version of the sprint hotspot app.
Great guide..just a couple updates: CWM wouldn't download - failed all 3 times. But the way around it was turning the Hboot-ENG into a PG86IMG and went through the bootloader..did the same for TWP. Once in TWP i did the zip for SU.
Other than then, worked out great.

you're s-off. You may have ran the RUU but at least you have that. go here and download whichever hboot you prefer (1.40 ship or 1.04 eng). both will work just fine, just rename to PG86IMG.zip and put in the root folder of your SD card. To install it, pull the battery and put it back in, then hold VOL DOWN and power until you see the hboot screen, then it'll prompt you to install the file. just make sure to delete the file from your SD card once you successfully install it.
DO NOT USE HTC UNLOCK METHOD ITS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY.
Since you ran the RUU, you have to reinstall a custom recovery. Do this via flash image GUI, ROM Manager, or fastboot (place your recovery in the fastboot folder, rename it to recovery.img, then open command prompt window in that folder. Boot phone to bootloader with vol down + power, then click fastboot and plug phone into computer. It should change to fastboot usb. Once that happens, just type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" [without the quotes])

If you are having issues with your current ROM. You could always run the ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU) found in the link below.
http://bit.ly/u3pMEN
Make sure to download the correct file.
(RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00 .1216)
After it has finished downloading. Re-lock your phone.
Then run the RUU.exe
This will take you back to the Stock HTC 2.17.651.5 ROM.
DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE DURING THE PROCESS. IT COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
Remember this will delete all your current data/apps so use TWRP on the android market to back up all your downloaded content. Only if your going to unlock you device again because you need to root your phone to use TWRP.
do i have to have android sdk installed?
You should.
I would recommend downloading the rootevo3dnew.zip file and place it on C:\ Drive.
(You can download the file from here)
http://bit.ly/HCPFRW
Dont forget to enter Fastboot USB first.
Now type these commands on cmd.
cd c:\rootevo3dnew
then type.
fastboot oem lock
Your device should reboot.
Dont let it reboot
Wait about 10 seconds than take off the battery.
Enter hboot once again by pressing Vol down then power button.
Go into Fastboot USB and then run the RUU.
ive tried that it never reconizes the rootevo3dnew.. thats why i was wondering if i needed androidsdk installed
1.Did you unzip the file?
2.Is the rootevo3dnew folder placed in C:\?
does the hole folder need to be in c? cuz ive tried it in the zip file and unzipped to c drive and both no go

Yes. put the rootevo3d.zip file in C:\ then unzip it.
Once thats done try the commands i gave you.
Post back with your error(if you end up getting one)
it worked that time but just says waiting on device
Is your device in Fastboot USB?
yea its red and says fastboot usb
Try this. Reboot your phone and turn debugging on.
Take out the battery and go back to Fastboot USB
Also run the HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe file in the rootevo3dnew folder if you have windows.
thank a lot man my problem was i didnt have the drivers installed...

Steps
In the command window type adb start-server
Next type adb reboot bootloader
Type fastboot devices to make sure you are connected
Type fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Right click and select mark, click and drag from the top arrows <<<< Identifier Token Start >>>> to the bottom arrows <<<<Identifier Token End >>>> and make sure not to highlight any empty spaces as this will confuse the website, right click and it will be saved to clipboard
Now go to HTC Dev and if you don't already have an account, sign uo for it
Go to unlock bootloader and select other device and accept the agreements
Skip the steps until you get the to token submit window and paste the token you copied earlier and submit.
Go to your email and download the unlock_bin code
Put the code in the ADB Tools folder
Type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
When the phone prompt comes up to unlock bootloader hit yes, now you are unlocked, re-enable usb debugging and disable fastboot
Type adb reboot bootloader
Type fastboot devices to make sure phone connected
Type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img
Type erase cache
Reboot phone and you will have unlock and recovery, all thats missing is to restart phone in bootloader and select recovery to flash a rom. Both meanrom and viper have built in kernel installers, should the phone get stuck booting just extract the boot.img from the rom and put it in adb, with phone in fastboot type fastboot flash boot boot.img
for the life of me, I could not get the regawMOD root to work for me, I ended up doing a one click root and feeding the panda for s-off :good:

I've been trying regaw methode to root but havn't had much luck. I get the message "you see this window now because we are waiting for your EVO 4G LTE to reconnect to the computer after reboot". What went wrong. Is there a better way to root?

You just have to manually reboot bootloader and it will continue

not sure how to do that.
Power button while holding volume down. Or, while running regaw, you may be able to just hold power for a minute at the appropriate times.

O.K. I've done the bootloader thing manualy and have gotten as far as "flashing recovery". the phone rebooted and it got as far as my phone starting up like I had just reset it. My bootloader say it's unlocked with S on. I don't think I'm rooted yet. What I'm trying to do is use my phone as a hot spot using wifi tether or something like it. Thats it. I've tried the unrooted software and it does'nt work.
So did it flash the recovery?

I'm not sure. How can I tell?
It should have said ok and something like write time 2.96s or something, connect adb and use adb reboot or hold power and when phone shuts of let go of power and hold power and volume down and select recovery from bootloader
So you don't want to flash another rom? Just flashing meanrom is less of a hassle then downloading the zip for superuser and busy box, flashing it in recovery and then installing a WiFi tether app
Twrp should of flashed. U should update to New twrp tho. The goo app makes it really easy to update your recovery

I got stuck on recovery but it did flash it. I think it the newest hboot 1.19 that's holding up the root step. All your doing is unlocking your phone for recovery.

Yeah. Just flash mean Rom so you don't have to fastboot a boot.img if you choose an aosp Rom you will have to.
Want to unlock your bootloader to install a custom recovery and root your One but have no idea how because you have a Mac?
Never fear, Gunnyman is here.
The procedure is actually pretty painless and only takes a few minutes
Some prerequisites:
ADB and Fastboot binaries for OS X, I've attached them to this post.
Your recovery of choice, I'm using Clockwork Mod Recovery, because TWRP seems to have problems with some Aroma installer based ROMS. Get CWM for the One from here
SuperUser.zip
a Unix friendly text editor. I really like Text Wrangler and it's free.
Android File Transfer for Mac macs don't work with MTP mode without this.
In developer Options on the phone, turn on USB Debugging
EDIT:
Thanks to user Shivasmith I now know you can skip textwrangler and
If you hold down the "Alt" (i.e. Option) key on the Mac keyboard in terminal you can do a "column select."
So when you generate the codes for the HTCdev unlock website, you can just do a straight copy-paste without going into TextWrangler. It made it that much quicker
So thanks for the tip!
I've been using macs for 10 years and never knew that.
1. Unzip the adb and fastboot binaries and put them where you can find them. I have a directory on my Mac called /Android and that's where my phone stuff lives, but you can put it anywhere.
2. Put the cwm recovery (or twrp if you prefer) in the same folder as adb and fastboot.
3. Got to htcdev.com and create an account there if you don't already have one.
4. Log in to htcdev.com and choose unlock bootloader.
5. pick the last option for Unlisted device.
6. Open a terminal window and navigate to where you installed fastboot,adb, and your recovery eg: cd /Users/Gunnyman/Android
7. In Terminal execute the following commands ./adb reboot bootloader once in bootloader mode In terminal execute the following command: ./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
8. Open Text Wrangler
9. Copy the output from the terminal window into Text Wrangler make sure you include every line AFTER "please cut the following message"
10. Use Text Wrangler to DELETE (bootloader) from every line and make sure the columns line up exactly.
11. Copy and Paste this output into the box you are provided on HTC Dev. This part is quite annoying, getting the lines to line up.
12. Submit your token. When successful you will be sent a key via email.
13. Put the Unlock.bin file you got via email in the same directory as adb and fastboot on your mac.
14. execute the following command in terminal with the phone in fastboot mode ./fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
15. Say yes to the prompts on the phone. Bootloader will unlock and the phone will be factory reset (there is NO way to avoid this)
16. OK Now the bootloader is unlocked. Time to install a recovery. In Terminal ./adb reboot bootloader
17. In terminal ./fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img
18. After recovery has flashed POWER DOWN PHONE COMPLETELY Then restart it
19. connect phone to the Mac Android File Transfer should fire up
20. Put the Superuser.zip file on your phone
21. in Terminal ./adb reboot recovery
22. Flash the SuperUser.zip in recovery.
23. Pat yourself on the back your phone is now rooted.
great tutorial...thanks. quick question since i have the dev edition (unlock bootlader) can i just follow all these steps but go straight to # 16 to root my One?
thanks again.
Absolutely
WHEN I enter the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin i get a "denied " message in the terminal can anyone figure this out for me
What are the cons of rooting the phone and installing a custom recovery?
I know that it voids the warranty. Is there anything else besides that?
Some people reported some functions not working.
Or is that just when you install a custom ROM?

I've seen it once before. It was solved by creating a new account on HTC.dev. And getting a new key.
No cons. Rooting doesn't do anything except add access to the super user account built into the device.

Did you turn phone on when you flashed recovery and then turn off then boot to recovery?

I turned off phone, booted phone into BL menu then from there into CWM.

Did you let the phone turn on and boot and then turn it off? Its important because when you unlocked bootloader/flashed recovery it completely reset your system meaning you need to boot it up and let it install the necessary stuff during boot animation (why it always takes so long the first time you boot up)

I am pretty sure I did, I will reflash the recovery and see if that fixes it.
Edit: I just noticed I am unable to go back and reflash the the recovery. Is there a stock att version without root and CWM already on them so I can start from scratch?
Nice one gunnyman. Never disappoint. Its actually simpler to do on a mac because there isn't any driver installation. I just hope that AT&T allows us to do this for a while so that all of us here can get out key. Thats really all you need. You don't even need to do it, but its always a good idea to just get the key so if AT&T decides to block it again, you're safe.
If you guys are having trouble getting TWRP or CWS to work, make sure you have fastboot turned off in the power settings. It caused mine to not mount data sometimes.
This is a good right up. Finally have a way to do this on my Mac
