Hi guys.
It's 2 days already I am trying to do s-off for my evo 3d. Maybe anyone got "up to date" thread where I can do this? My hboot is 1.49.0018, and GSM phone.
Because thread using hex and revolutionary method is out of date, and the main file PG86IMG.zip is no longer uploaded there.
Juopunutbear method requires stock RUU, but when I download from http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Shooter this version: RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.zip I get wrong zip file when flashing. Name was too big for 4ext, but when I shorten name it's gives error.
Any ideas? :crying: Thanks..
EDIT: Got S-off, but have no root now..
You can't flash that through 4ext. You need to rename to PG86IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card. Then reboot into the bootloader and when it asks to update, hit volume up to say yes.
Make sure when you boot back up to delete the file from the sd card.
I believe your bootloader needs to be relocked before running the ruu as well.
fastboot oem lock
Personally I have seen many evo V users get s-off just by being on a stock based rom. Because there was no ruu available to them they went as close to stock as possible. Probably best to just follow the instructions though if you have that option.
Thanks Brian. Actually I did just like you said, but apparently that RUU version had 1.53.0007 hboot, so now I am on stock RUU with 1.53.0007 hboot.
Gonna try juopunutbear method first if I manage to install linux first haha.
Good luck! It's not too hard to make the live dvd/usb. There is a program you can download that will set it all up for you if you go to the ubuntu website. They have all the instructions for a live ubuntu dvd/usb.
So I finally made S-off using wire trick But got new problem so gonna ask here..
I am still on stock RUU, and I installed 4ext using Play store, but it's not working cause it says I need root. I installed busybox and SuperSu, but SuperSu won't work, it says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU can not install it, This is a problem!
I had root before I know for sure.. Also I can't go into recovery from bootloader because recovery does not exist. Can I flash 4ext through the bootloader renaming it PG86IMG.zip or it's not how it works?
Just downloaded several "root checker" apps, and all of them says I have no root access.
Thanks!
Edit: my hboot is 1.53.7777 now if that matters.
Edit2. I am on stock ROM, maybe that's why it does not work..?
EDIT: I've fixed everything, thanks.
Sorry, was asleep but glad to see you got it! I'm assuming you had to flash Super user to get the binaries installed? The app is just an interface.

Yes I flashed recovery using adb and then SuperSU using recovery And my root access came back.

Ok so I unlocked a coworkers evo3d via the htc method only because he had updated his device to 2.08, and hboot 1.50 is not supported by revolutionary yet.
I can't figure out how to install a recovery. I've tried both TWRP and CWM. First I tried, via the PG86IMG.zip from TWRP but that didn't work saying something about it being a older version. Then I decided to try to push it via fastboot? I successfully push both TWRP and CWM recovery but when I went into recovery the phone would just reboot and boot into the OS.
Can anyone please point me to where I can get step by step instructions on how to install a recovery? This is possible right? Or how else are people suppose to install customer roms via HTC method.
I used both these threads as reference guides but I couldn't figure it out.

Once the device has S-off (rooted) you can download the TWRP zip file from one of those links you posted and place it on the root of your SD card named as "PG86IMG" do not include the .zip in the name since it is already a .zip file. Once on your SD card and properly named pull your battery out, pop it back in and hold vol down + power button to boot into the bootloader. Once it the bootloader it should auto detect the PG86IMG file and ask you if you want to update. Select "Yes", when done and it asks you to reboot say "no" and then boot into recovery from the bootloader. You should then have TWRP installed this is how I did it and its worked everytime for my friends and I. Hope that helps.
I tried that first and it kept telling me "Main Version is Older" then error and pressing Ok would reboot the device.
When you say you tried to push via fastboot are you saying you flashed via fastboot? As in you booted into fastboot usb, opened a command prompt and entered
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRPorCWM.img
because otherwise all you did is push (copy) the file to the phone.
I think the version of your hboot is not correct you need to flash the Eng Hboot Zip first!
Basically rename the Eng Hboot zip as PG86IMG place it on your SD card and update it in bootloader.
When done reboot phone and then remove that file and place the twrp zip file on your sd card, rename
it to PG86IMG and go into bootlader and then update that zip file. When done reboot into revoery and you should
be okay.
Twrp doesn't work without s-off, which you don't get from HTC unlock. Use cwm version 4.014 or something like that

So was your phone on software version 2.08.651.2 when you successfully used revolutionary? What recovery are you using? Ive read that cwm has some issues on evo 3g/3d
This may be totally off base, but I recall from rooting the Eris that with jcase's one click method you would get a custom recovery and permanent root and the ability to flash custom ROMs from that recovery, but still had S-ON.
Have you tried running Fre3vo to gain temp root, then flashing CWM recovery from the ROM Manager app running on your phone?
If that doesn't work, reports are from AndroidForums that this CWM.img which I could trace to XDA Recognized Developer graffixnyc but no further, can be flashed via fastboot. Personally I'd rather do it through ROM Manager if you can, then you can also get updates.

There is no support in revolutionary for 2.08 build yet (1.50 hboot). He probably used it before the update. HTC unlocked the bootloader & you can write to certain partitions, but no flashing kernels or anything else they don't want you to. If I was dumb enough to take the update or if I just got my Evo 3d and it was already updated I would wait for alpharevx and unrevoked to make revolutionary compatible with the update, which they are said to be working on.

Try it and see!
Need some help!
I decided to give this a try since it sounds like it has some potential to help get users rooted from stock configurations, or after flashing an OTA or RUU, even though I have been S-OFF via JuopunutBear for a while now. I figured I would try the rooting with an insecure boot.img first since that works for S-OFF, but got an error saying I didn't have the right boot.img installed. I had just flashed the latest Sprint ICS RUU.exe from Windows and wanted to see how this tool would work in that scenario.
So since it wanted a boot.img that I didn't have, I tried the universal exploit option but that gave me an error at the Windows level. The phone rebooted into recovery and I had to pull the battery and reboot into the stock ROM, which was fine.
I have attached screenshots of the info I got when I first started the app, the error I got when I tried to root with the exploit (I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1) and a text file containing the contents of the message in the scrollable details text box.
I'm also curious what bootloader gets flashed if that option is selected.
Please advise.
Edit: Just noticed that the version went from 1.1.10 that I downloaded yesterday to 1.1.12 today so I will reload the RUU and try that version.

With S-OFF? That's strange, since the OP says that both options work with S-OFF. Also, I couldn't find any mention of htcdev unlock in either the OP or the application when it was running.
I'm not going to htcdev unlock since my bootloader is locked after JuopunutBear and I don't want to have to deal with the ***RELOCKED*** status. I guess I could try flashing a custom bootloader after running the RUU that will allow the fastboot commands, but that can only be done by S-OFF users and by the time that's done it's probably faster to go into fastboot and flash the custom recovery, then the superuser .zip or a rooted ROM from recovery.
I'm not sure where this tool fits exactly, but it sounds like it's mostly useful for people that have done the htcdev unlock but are still S-ON and want to root more easily. If that's the case, they can run this, then boot into Android and flash a custom recovery from an app like 4EXT or Flash Image GUI without having to use fastboot for either superuser or the recovery. Is that the gist of it?
BTW, my results with version 1.1.12 are attached. I got farther this time, but it failed on the temp root.
ramjet73
The errors seem to be causing confusion. If everything else says okay but the Universal Exploit says Failed then this means the exploit has been patched on the stock Rom you are trying to run it on.
Also only rooting via insecure boot.img requires s-off. Universal root will work with s-on if the exploit hasn't been patched.

So in other words, this tool won't work using the "universal exploit" (in quotes because I guess it's not really universal) on the official Sprint ICS build (2.89.651.2) for the Evo 3D, which is what I flashed via RUU.exe right before running it, regardless of the S-ON or S-OFF status? Would it work with an "insecure boot.img" if we are S-OFF and if so how would we set that up?
Assuming someone wanted to root the latest Sprint GB build (2.17.651.5) for the Evo 3D, what advantages does this tool provide over flashing a custom recovery and superuser .zip file from fastboot on a PC?
I'm not trying to be negative, just want to be clear on when someone on our device would benefit from using it.

Ramjet, I have tried it too and end up where you are at. I have done the HTC unlock too.
Can someone show the step by step because I hate to presume I'm doing it right.
I have the phone set and on home screen. I run the program and fails.
I reboot the fone into the boot screen (pwr/vol dn) and select fastboot (pwr press once) then the program works and then fails at the temp thingy..
Hi I wanted some guidance and help.
I have my phone S-OFF with the latest version of meanbean and the latest firmware with touch panel drivers.
Everything but the accelerometer is working and one suggestion was to try running an RUU and see if that will fix it.
I know if I run an RUU i wont lose s-off but what would i need to do to get back to having twrp and meanbean again.
I have already done a nandroid backup.
My Hboot is 1.12.111
Also do I have to run the RUU for 3.16 since I updated or can I use the one for 3.15.
There is no RUU for 3.16 yet. Have you tried a different ROM, or perhaps a clean install of Mean Bean?
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Yea i forgot to mention that. The clean install was the first thing I tried to do. I was hoping I would be able to use the ruu from 3.15 and then just nadroid back. but im not sure if thats possible. I do have the older hboot though

All you would have to do is flash a recovery and then flash a custom rom.. I was wondering the same thing while back.. I was s-off flashed ruu and was still s-off.. Then all i did was flash twrp over and whatever rom and your golden:good:

I was doing some testing before I actually went ahead and did this and tried to make sure I can flash the latest twrp from fastboot before doing this.
I get the error message
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: partition is not allowed to be flushed!)
I am S-Off with lazy panda
I was only able to flash the old 2.1.8 twrp through the bootloader but that one doesnt work with the latest touchpanel drivers.
Anyone know where to get a bootloader zip for twrp that 2.4.1 or above
Or how to fix my error.
Verdammt said:
What I did, and I hope I can explain it so it makes sense, is I downloaded one of the recovery's that was already a zip. I used root explorer to extract the text file that was inside. I renamed the openrecovey-2.4.0.0.ing file to recovery.img. I used root explorer to zip the text file I extracted earlie and the recovery.img file. I used Zip Signer, free in the play store, to sign the newly created zip. I renamed the zip and put it into the root of my external sd card and it updated just fine.

OK I found a solution.
I followed the instructions from Verdammt
and I was able to create a zip I was able to flash through the bootloader.
I have included the zip I made here this will install TWRP 2.4.2
is anyone is interested.
Ok that was really weird.
I downloaded the RUU for 3.15 from unlimited IO and it wouldnt flash it gave me an error message.
So I went ahead and downloaded the RUU for 3.15 the exe version and that also gave me an error message.
I put my phone in fastboot and tried flashing again. This time it flashed but after the reboot everything was exactly how it was before nothing changed. All my information and apps were on the phone and all my settings were in place.
So I finally took the RUU.zip from unlimited io and renamed to PJ75IMG.zip and placed on the root of my sdcard.
This finally flash and also updated my hboot and locked it, but im still s-off.
So I was able to flash the previous zip i attached here to get twrp back and just restored by nandroid.
Still no accelerometer but thanks to everyone for the help.
I had the same problem..the sensors are busted.

Some time after that I decided I just wanted everything back to stock, so I took off root and re-locked the phone. (In hboot my phone says s-on and **relocked**)
As of late I have the need to get some kind of tethering app working so I was trying to unlock and root my phone again. The way I saw to do it was to use this link http://unlimited.io/jb_vigor.htm
I went ahead and set up my laptop to dual boot into Ubuntu, and have all the other prereqs done, but I'm not sure if I ever went back to the stock ROM on my rezound.

boot into TWRP recovery, press install, find the file, Swipe to confirm flash.
Then You can install a rom the same way. Just remember since you are S-on, extract the Boot.img from the rom and Place in your fastboot folder,
and fastboot flash it or it will not boot.
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
If you want a rom just to tether with, any Sense rom should work.

Looking in the stock RUU I downloaded there is no Boot.img, and there is no kernel folder (I found the directions here http://androidforums.com/rezound-all-things-root/499172-how-manually-flash-roms.html#post3933400 ) The only thing I want to do is tether. Do I need s-off for that? The only reason I'm loading up this RUU (or ROM, not sure which it is) is so I can have the stock ROM so I can use the JuopunutBear S-OFF so I can tether. I should actually google s-off vs s-on, I really don't know the difference. Does s-off just mean rooted?
Also, I really appreciate all your help. There's no way I would have been able to figure this out on my own. Thanks.

You dont Have to have s-off to tether, just a rooted rom.

Ok, I may just flash a rooted rom then.
Since I already have the key to unlock my phone I tried re-locking it and flashing a RUU Zip, but I got the message "remote: 44 hboot version check fail
Not sure what this means, does this not work on hboot 2.28?
I may just end up doing the rooted rom, I just figured I'd go ahead and try this for ****s n giggles.
Try this
download this file, place on your sd card just like the other file and install in recovery
This will root the rom you are on

Not since you are S-on because the Ruu you have has an older Hboot. you can only go backwards with S-off

Fantastic, Got it all working! Thanks again for your help.
EDIT: Even though I have superSU on the phone, When I try to update the su binary the installation fails. And Barnacle Wifi Tether says "Permission Denied!" and "Stopped Unexpectedly!"
I'm sure I'm close. But I'll have to finish it up in the morning.
I installed the original superuser from the market and that seemed to work. Now I'm getting other tethering errors. I'll edit if I can't figure them out.

I realized after I posted the root file you are on latest firmware and that wont work on Hboot 2.28.
I was misled by your thread title, thought you were on older firmware
Download/Flash this in recovery
http://download.chainfire.eu/333/Sup...erSU-v1.34.zip
Then install Busybox from playstore using this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....busybox&hl=en
Inside the app choose /system/bin at the top checkmark replace all symlinks choose install then choose smart install.
you can get root checker from the playstore to verify root
For tether app use this one

Wow, you literally have all the answers. Wifi Tethering is working, getting 33Mbps, was only getting 0.15Mbps. Huge props to you.

Glad to see bou got it solved
Okay, here's the biz. My wife's phone needs updated, and I'm not sure of the best way to do it. She's rooted and I want to keep it that way, as she needs her wifi-tether.
She's not s-off. I tried using moonshine and rumrunner to no avail, even though I had met all pre-requisites. rumrunner recommended I flashed a less-stable kernel and try it again. I'm not real interested in doing that.
I was trying to s-off so i could flash the OTAs that are on xda.
I have studied posts on here for about 4 hours now and have not come up with a solid answer.
The only things we need are root and the newest 3.17- firmware and possibly radios. Can anyone send me to the right place?
Can I just ruu the newest software?
Please. Thanks will be given.
Phone specs:
freshly ruu android 4.0.4
sense 4.1
software 2.13.651.1
s-on
bootloader unlocked
hboot 1.19.000
radio 1.12.11.0803
Check the top link in my sig. There is a link to all applicable RUU's at the bottom of the first post (I recommend reading the entire thread), including the 3.17 RUU and the newer 4.13 RUU. Running the RUU will update your software, firmware, HBOOT, etc. The RUU is probably the quickest way to get everything up to date, in my opinion. Just download whichever RUU you want to install to your computer, connect your phone to your computer while the phone is booted to the OS, double-click the RUU file and follow the on-screen instructions on your computer. You may also want to install HTC Sync to your computer, as well. After running the RUU you'll need to unlock your bootloader again, install a custom recovery and SuperSU for root access. If you want to S-off the phone once it's updated, again, check the top link in my sig for further info.

I tried using the ruu for the newest 4.XX and it wouldn't work. I guess I should just use 3.17.xxx?
NVM, I forgot to relock the bootloader before I tried the ruu.... now it's working. Thanks

Hey I'm trying to use windroid to unlock the bootloader again, but it's not recognizing the phone's status.. any help on unlocking that bloader?
Again, NVM I had to authorize the debugging on my phone.
Okay, I've ruu to the newest ota, which is 4.XX- and I have TWRP 2.7.0 but I can't figure out how to root it. I have tried flashing both of the super user files from the linked page in your sig, to no avail. I tried to flash them from twrp. Nothing. One app says it needs binaries, and the other one doesn't open. Not sure how to root at this point? I tried to push the superuser.zip files through adb shell and that didn't work either. stumped...

You need to use the TWRP from Captain's thread.

Okay, thanks, got it. Do I need a different kernel to s-off with rumrunner?
