My LTE came S-Off. How would I root it with S-Off? All pre-designed methods I see try to turn S-Off when it is already off on my LTE. Can I just install a SU program and I am good to go?

You need to install a custom recovery, and then flash a ROM with superuser access. Then you will be rooted. If you simply want a stock rooted ROM, you can download the app SuperSU from the Play Store and install it, and you will have root access.
Look in the link below for info regarding TWRP recovery:

SuperSU won't launch. It gives an error "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
I was hoping to get SU access on my current stock ROM without installing another ROM. With it being "stock s-off" throws a wrench into that plan.
Ninja Edit: Using the app "Root Checker Basic" says the device does not have proper root access. So S-OFF means jack when it comes to the ROM I assume?

There is a recovery flashable SuperSU binary zip here on XDA. I'll see if I can dig it up.
As far as S-off & root, they aren't the same and aren't dependent upon one another. For more info hit the link in my sig.
Edit: Take a look here at the link below.

Wow, I've posted 3 threads here in the same week. I just can't seem to stop having problems. I fixed the constant crashing on my phone by installing a stock RUU or whatever (OTA 3.14.605,12). I unlocked my bootloader again and have Amon Ra recovery. I used the developer menu to install Superuser, but it appears that I still don't have root access. I tried using the OneClickRoot, but it wasn't able to do anything and claims it was unable to remount the system. right after that is when it can't do anything. Is it having problems because I am on ICS?
Thank You.
Ok, you want to root your ics.
o you can not root using amon ra menu item for rooting
o you can not root using the latest version of SuperUser from the author's website http://androidsu.com/superuser/
o you can root using a 6 month old version of SuperUser but will lose root if you update it
So, the best course of action is to download the latest version of SuperSU. It does the same function as SuperUser app.
Download the SuperSU zip file to your sd card, and flash it using amon ra recovers.

You can download the Superuser update fixer from the Playstore....works for me. I did pay for the "Elite" key though.

Thanks for posting up that link. Worked perfectly.
Finally, unlocked, s-off and rooted!
I want to root my phone, but I have Software Version 2.13.651.1 710RD. I'm not sure if I can root with this version. I tried running the 1.13.651.1 RUU, but I just get:
"ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."
Am I doing something wrong? I downgraded using this method on my old phone.
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I can use Regaw's rooter.
EDIT 2: Nope, that didn't work. I went with this: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/
You can gain root access on all versions via HTC dev unlock. Once unlocked flash recovery image and then su zip or the rooted ROM of your choice

I just found the manual way to do it. I used this site: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-root/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery. Yeah, I used HTCDev and went through that guide.
Does anyone know if gaining root access can be done after bootloader is unlocked. I don't have a working internet connection to follow through with regawmod. All help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried one click root also, but that doesn't seem to install supersu or su binary... Also for the record I had downloaded the zip file for twrp, but it said older device or something like that. Please help!

If you are unlocked and have recovery then why not just install a custom rom?
You could flash recovery thru goomanger and then flash the Su zip or a rooted Rom.
I'm not positive, bit that should work
Edit.....forgot goomanager needs root privileges

I use the stock rom with root access. I was able to achieve SU access with this guide.

You already have the bottloader unlocked you just downloads the files at the beginnning and proceed to step 22, after you flash the SU package, you can update SU in the play store and download goo mananger to bring to bring you to the last TWRP
Thanks guys, didn't even think about flashing a rooted rom lol...For some reason I thought I would get error flashing a rom without root access.

I need a heads up with something.
For some reason after following instructions on how to unlock, install a recovery, as well as root my phone through Amon Ra and installing SuperUser from the app store. For some reason with root checker and SD Maid my device still shows up as Unrooted even after doing the root fix through Amon Ra? I don't get this, am I missing something here?

Flash this http://download.chainfire.eu/315/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip
Yeah, that.
You need to use SuperSU instead of Super User.
I just got another DNA and decided this time to mod it. I hated it stock and bloated. So anyway I did the rumrunner s-off method to unlock and root and everything is going good and I installed the NuSenseSIX Htc m8 port and it's beautiful. Props. But there's an app called trickster mod that I tried to go into and says I don't have root. So I go into superSU and it says I'm missing the SU binaries and that I need to manually 're root it. But Idk if I should do it the same way cause I used the s-off thing or if I should use the htc universal toolkit or something. Any advice would be very helpful

Download the newest su zip from the su website by chain fire and flash it in recovery and you will have root.
