[Q] How do I get S-OFF with DirtyRacun? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I can not find any tutorial on how to get S-OFF on my HTC Evo 4G LTE. I go so the site for the instructions but they are very complicated. I have tried it already and even installed ubuntu on my computer and tried the command but it say command not found or something like that. Please help. I want to get back to stock and it seems like the only way I can do it is if I get S-OFF. I'm not sure but I don't think the lazy panda method works anymore either.

Try this thread, it has instructions starting second page I think.

If you are on 3.16.651.3 the latest you can use Moonshine it's windows friendly
If you are anything below 3.16 you can use Facepalm also window friendly this takes about 5 mins or less I used it a couple weeks ago on a friends phone

Revolutionary 1.5 hboot update

Anybody know when the new revolutionary 1.5 hboot update is being released? I bought my phone from Best Buy and the sales rep took it upon herself to update my phone for me. HTC's way is gay and I'd rather wait.

haven't seen anything posted yet. the best places to contact (or be in contact with) revolutionary is their irc channel on freenode, #revolutionary.
it will be interesting to see how they approach supporting the later version, i.e. whether they completely replace the bootloader or exploit htc's unlock method.
we all anxiously await!
Appreciate it. I've been searching for a week now.

I learned the hard way and updated without thinking. So ill have to wait. Maybe wait to see what the options are after ICS is released.

I've been looking at these forums everyday for over a month and there's still no root. Does anyone have an idea of how close they are to obtaining root??

htc method works for me. its a little annoying to flash a rom (need to do fastboot boot recovery to flash it) but it's still full root and stuff.
the title is a bit misleading. and I hope it breaks through soon
i just got my fone off of ebay today. it was already updated. guess im dead in the water for now
I used HTC's method to unlock and get root, I am on 2.5 and updated as well because my first intentions for the phone was not to root it, and now I am kicking my ass for updating to 1.50 Hboot. But either way, here is how HTC's method has worked for me in case any of you are thinking about doing it and wondering if it is worth the trouble. Yes, it is worth the trouble. Instructions and time to do it all in all wasn't even that bad in my opinion, and now at least I can flash roms (which I have been doing a lot this past week back and fourth). However I want a pure AOSP rom, with pretty much NOTHING sense, no sense dialer apk, contacts apk, evo stock messaging apk... a lot of the "AOSP" roms out there now still have some of these things that I have tried. So basically I want CM 7, cuz that's the best AOSP rom I have ever used... and I downloaded the Alpha build from Toast, but it requires S-OFF.. which doing HTC's method does not turn S-OFF... so it makes me sad So hopefully this gets kickin soon!

I had no idea HTC forces two or more men to engage in sexual acts just to get the boot loader unlocked. That is just not right!
Oh wait, I did the HTC method and had no sexual contact with another male. I think you'll be fine there pal.

But you have no clue what is happening in HTC's server room or software development office. The homosexual acts may be taking place on their side.
BTW, if some tech support person updated my phone for me automatically, I'd tell them I didn't want it and they can change the phone.
Haha, agreed with the user above me!

Here are the instructions I went to and followed and worked just fine. the website requires you to create an account before you view the goodness, but of course that is free. Other than that, you just need to download a few things; one being the HTC Sync program, and a couple of Zip files, but after you do that, follow the instructions and you'll be good to go! Need any other help please don't hesitate, feel free to ask!

I did the HTC 1.5 "rooting" method successfully.
My problem now is that adb won't recognize my phone when I'm in fastboot (trying to flash ROM/Kernal). If I'm in the ROM it recognizes it, if I'm in recovery it recognizes it, when I did the 1.5 "root" it recognized it.
However when I get to the point of trying to fastboot into recovery it doesn't see it using the "adb devices" command.
I've tried reinstalling SDK several times, I've tried reinstalling the USB drivers several times, I've tried all of it on two different computers (one xp, one windows seven), debugging is allowed and fast boot is not checked.
This is a problem for flashing ROMs AND Kernals obviously.
Any ideas?

that's because you need to use fastboot, not adb, when you're in fastboot. google htc fastboot drivers g1. they're for the g1 but work fine for all other htc phones. put it in the same directory as adb. and the command is
fastboot devices
so yeah, there's your problem
omg I was stuck on a step that was already completed....thanks for your help! First droid, first root, first flash successful

That's your current option at this point in time.
Team Revolutionary has already the patch.. i presume they're working on it and they'll release soon but there's no ETA .. we're on the same boat .. HBOOT 1.49.0011 and 1.50 same exploit tool i guess..
My advice to all - is to wait for team rev's update!

HTCDEV is your only option for root. Gives you S-On but you are still very capable of flashing most if not all of the roms available. The catch is the kernels need to be flashed through fastboot but I've seen other methods to flash all at once. Read evo 3d dev section for more info.

i've done the htv dev method with hboot 1.5. it is very simple step by step. then follow the guide in here. very easy once you take the plunge. did it straight through the first time no problems. the only thing is that you will still have s-on and will have to do a slightly different method to flash roms and kernals. but it's very easy. best of luck.

I followed this same method and it was easy as pie. Just don't forget once you have your recovery in place to make a nand backup, can't be stressed enough.

finally took the plunge since I was getting a few force closes when receiving calls (on unrooted stock). Must say, very easy when you have all the files in place and flashing is not hard at all. Flash image GUI helps a lot with flashing any kernel too.

S-OFF Question

OH MY GOD I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK! i just ran the program after reading through post for like 4 hours and found some useful stuff and since i am successfully S-OFF i figured i'd share.
1. i was already htc unlocked and rooted running Fresh 5.1.1 so if you want to go and unlock
2. go in your computer (im on win 7 64bit) control panel>programs and uninstall anything that says its by htc. and then install the htc drivers that are in the download page for the LazyPanda tool.
3. open sdk manager and make sure everything is up to date and that you have the usb drivers.
4. make sure usb debugging is enabled (settings>developer options) and the fast boot is disabled (in settings>power)plug in your evo and open up a command prompt and enter "adb devices" to make sure your evo is communicating with your computer.
5. type in "adb reboot bootloader" your evo should now boot into a white screen that says fastboot. let any drivers that are installing on your computer finish and then type "fastboot reboot" and your phone should boot up like normal. again let all drivers install.
6. let your evo settle and then open up the command prompt again and type "adb devices" just to check your evo is there.
7. disable ANY antivirus tools you have one on your computer and close any program that will do any communication with your usb port.
8. download and unzip the LazyPanda tool and then right click on the tool and run as administrator.
9. let LazyPanda run AND DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING. NOT YOUR COMPUTER. NOT YOUR EVO. DON'T EVEN TOUCH YOUR CAT. JUST SIT THERE AND PRAY THAT IT WORKS.
10. Once it says everything is done hit enter open up another command prompt and enter "fastboot reboot" and let your phone boot.
11. go to your evo and go to settings>activate this device and let it do its thing.
12. ENJOY YOUR NEW S-OFF EVO!!!
this is probably a little overkill with checking and whatnot but with all the bricks i figure its a good idea. hope this helped for anyone who uses this mini guide and if it did hit the thanks button

I followed this method for S-OFF and everything went great until I ran the lazy panda tool. I get a message saying it "Can't find Panda" and then said to press enter to exit. I am currently running Mean Rom 1.5 and got rooted via RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter. Any suggestions or solutions to this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Do a nand backup flash a stock rom then run lazy panda then restore you're backup, i had to do that had the same problem
Also i had a spare sd card i put in the phone to use while doing the s-off because i read that it was deleted some people sd card, not sure if the card is needed while running lazy panda but put one in anyway

Video by wwjoshdew for S-Off
There is a video of wwjoshdew running the Panda S-Off method on his YouTube channel.
Here is what I asked in the comments section and his response.
What state was your phone in before you did this? Were you HTC Dev Unlocked & rooted or just rooted? I'm currently rooted and HTC Dev Unlocked and would like to apply the updated Radio Firmware but apparently the only way to do that is with S-OFF. Thanks for making these vids and look forward to hearing back from you.

[Q] Impossible Boot loader unlock?

So bit of a newb here... Just got the Droid Incredible 4G LTE (Fireball) as a gift, and I have literally dedicated at least 8 hours of my life sifting through forums trying to figure out the boot loader unlock on this phone..
And I feel like I have tried everything... Unlock through HTCDev Website is no longer a viable option, the One site that has a viable unlock is for HBoot 1.15 and my phone is sitting on 1.02... Which means I can't use their package to my best knowledge... Can I revert my Hboot to the older version without unlocking? I'm pretty sure this isn't this even a viable option because I haven't seen anyone else talk about it so I am guessing not..
http://unlimited.io/fireball.htm
When I go to temproot the phone via Team Fireballas, I just run into an infinite loop on a script that seems to be working for a majority of people and all the sifting I did over last night ran me into no one with a clear answer besides sometimes at best it works and others it doesn't.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986346
I have Windows 7 64 Bit, I have the Android SDK and PATH set up according to the wiki linked, Factory Restore each time I try to run the script and that's been about 20 times now My device shows up under 'adb devices' but as soon as I hit:
adb shell "while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done"
It's all infinite looping down the rabbit hole from there... automated script does not give me any success either..
The next option was trying to flash some of the RUU components like Hboot but I don't feel comfortable trying that or even that it will work.... Not getting a brick out of this piece.... and on the other hand its probably not possible without the unlock...
Any help would be greatly appreciated... I've spent a lot of time on this....
At that line you will get infinite errors. After typing the command accept the restore on your phone. You should be good to go. Just ignore the errors on your computer.

Since you are on hboot 1.02, I suggest running the latest RUU.exe to upgrade your phone to 1.15. After that, follow the DirtyRacun on unlimited.io. The process should go nice and smooth once you have upgraded to 1.15 via the RUU. There is a link somewhere on these forums to the latest RUU...

[Q] Unrooted, unlocked S-on but can't get custom ROM

So, I have gone through the whole process of rooting my phone, unlocking it. I have TWRP on it, Titanium backup (thankfully), Goo Manager. It is S-on. I have 2.09 Hboot. My TWRP-jewel is 2.5.0.0. Ok, now onto my question, I am trying to get CM-10 to load but it doesn't go any further than the load screen. No matter what I try. I have even tried switching to JellyBAM but all to no avail. Can someone offer me tips as to what I may have done or be doing wrong? Thanks in advance
[Q] trying to put CM10 on my rooted phone
Forgive me if I put this in the wrong group, but I feel this is probably the right one for it. I have Hboot 2.09. I have TWRP. I have S-on. I want to put CM10 with Gapps onto my phone but every way I have tried, CM10 just sits there and loops around, the longest being an hour. I figured some time was possible, but come on. Over on Google+, people are telling me to flash this and flash that, fastboot this or that. I have no idea what they are trying to say to me. I am loving learning all of this but I need a little more explanation than just flash something. I realize that flash has something to do with commands. I am running windows 8 if that helps on my laptop. My TWRP version is 2.5.0.0. I don't know if my phone has gone through the latest update or not. Thanks for any help you can give me!
You have to install the kernel separately from the ROM since you're S-on. Click the link in my sig for more info.
You most likely have the newest touch panel driver, so you can only use ROM's based off the latest OTA, software version 3.16. Your touchscreen won't work otherwise. You can gain S-off and downgrade your touch panel driver, at which point you can run AOSP ROM's like CM.

First of all you might be on the newest touch panel driver, and that's the first thing that gets you in trouble because aosp roms don't work with that, as of now, it might work later... Who knows... Secondly you need to flash the boot.img separately thru fastboot because your are s-on and on 2.09... To make your life easier try to get s-off either thru facepalm or dirty racun... That way you can flash any rom and also downgrade your touch panel driver to get aosp working on your phone... If you flash viper rom it has a senseless option so you can use nova and get stability and some sort of aosp look... Good luck!
Sent from my EVO
Yes, S-off is the way to go if you want to run CM. Otherwise, try meanbean or viper or sharkie or any other sense based Rom. They should work fine.

ADB commands must be issued when the phone is mounted as media share not as fastboot. Connect your phone as if you were transferring files between it and your pc.

I do have it connected to the computer like that. Do you mean I have to go into TWRP and mount it that way? I tried it that way too. I downloaded and whole new android SDK to see if that is the problem. If not, I am going to factory reset my phone and start over. I can't imagine why I was able to root the phone, get it unlocked, but now I can't do anything else with it. Not even get adb commands to recognize it.

This is for tabidee hey I was reading ur stuff on xda developers and I have a question. If u can help if not its cool. Ok so i got my sprint evo and I went to try to root it. I went thru a process that with the steps combined with htcdev site got me to say unlock my bootloader. I used hoot 2.09 and I was supposed to flash this pimg175 zip to i guess install a recovery. Well that won't work at all... I cant get my s on switched to s off and so i am stuck with according to the hoot screen a tampered, unlocked with s on, unrooted phone. I am so confused with all the steps and files I had to download, rename and save to various folders that I gave up. With my phone at its current state what do I do next? I deleted all the files from the day I unlocked it but if you can explain to me... And explain like if I was a five year old cuz I'm that dumbfounded on this subject... But if u can maybe walk me thru the rest of the process or walk me thru a undoing of what I done so far. I'm lisa. My email is [email protected]
Check out the link below. It's a GUI for rooting and has everything you need to get your phone rooted. You'll need to install the recovery first then superuser, which will give you root.

I went thru a process that with the steps combined with htcdev site got me to say unlock my bootloader. I used hoot 2.09 and I was supposed to flash this pimg175 zip to i guess install a recovery. Well that won't work at all... I cant get my s on switched to s off and so i am stuck with according to the hoot screen a tampered, unlocked with s on, unrooted phone. I am so confused with all the steps and files I had to download, rename and save to various folders that I gave up. With my phone at its current state what do I do next? I deleted all the files from the day I unlocked it but if you can explain to me... And explain like if I was a five year old cuz I'm that dumbfounded on this subject... But if u can maybe walk me thru the rest of the process or walk me thru a undoing of what I done so far. I'm lisa. My email is [email protected]

I had to do moonshine with wubi lunbuntu linux terminal. Rooting is easy u do it from google play look for 4.2.2 roms that are ok with s-on. mean is easy.
so I still have to connect my sh*t to da pc and go thru some more steps with this lunbuntu thing before though rite? BTW... the HTC software update won't complete itself so I'm still 4.1 I think
