I need to RUU. I'm confused which one I should pick? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Out of this list
http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Jewel
which one do I pick?? I'm running baseband 1.12.11.1210 with Sense 5 port r141 currently. I am S-off. I would like to unlock my bootloader again if this will lock it so do I just run HTC Dev again? If so, is it the EVO 4G+ dropdown because I don't see one for Evo LTE? Or should I just use the Viperuu one which I think can unlock the bootloader again?

Since you are S-OFF you can run the latest RUU
Or yes use VipeRUU and start over from scratch

Everything is working great now! Thanks! Now I can finally make backups again. Have had this problem for quite some time and it feels good to be golden again.

Glad you got it working

I was thinking an RUU would fix your issue. Glad you got the problem resolved:thumbup:

Thanx. Do I need to download any files?

read this there are Hboot drivers for windows make sure you have HTC sync uninstalled.
Anyways make sure your Hboot is one of the latest 2.16 i think is the latest.
What Hboot do you have? Your phone CDMA also?
Are you talking about the HTC EVO? Not the Evo design? Nor the EVO 3D
---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------
Also make sure there isn't any PC36IMG.ZIP on your phone. Prior to root.
Your talking about a EVO CDMA not a EVO 3D right...

Depends on the hboot. Revolutionary works with hboot 1.3 and 1.4. For hboot 1.5 the safest is with the HTC unlock method.
To figure out what hboot you have power down your phone and pull the battery for a few seconds to clear the fastboot. The press and hold vol. Down + power button which will boot into the bootloader and will tell you what hboot you have.
For hboot 1.5

Don't donwload that file unless your on the HTC EVO CDMA and know what HBOOT you are using the latest is 2.16 i think.
If your on the EVO 3D you will need to root HTC method if your hboot is 1.5.

EVO 4g? I could be wrong believe the last ota that was released borked the ability to root until a new exploit method is found.
My point is that if he has updated recently then idk if he can root.
Again I could be wrong

This is the EVO 3D section.
You have an EVO 4g.
This is a better direction for you. Any questions you have should be answered here.

Rooting Question.

Hello all, I'm just wondering, if once you root via HTC's method (since my phone is 651.3 there's no other way that I know of) can you make your bootloader say *Locked* (NOT relocked) in case you need to get service at a sprint store? I know you can remove the yellow triangle on certain Samsung devices so I figured I'd see if you could do something similar on the EVO. Thanks guys.

No, you can only modify the hboot text with s-off. If you really wanted, you could actually relock it using fastboot but I think even then it says relocked instead. I don't think there's much reason to...it sounds like Sprint doesn't really care. Especially since you unlocked using a method provided by HTC.

Ok thank you. Now, I know with the EVO 3D, and using htcs unlock method, you had to use fastboot to flash kernels and recoveries, is this still true on the new EVO?

Nope, HTC wants to make sure they know

[Q] need help

so im a noob at this and i rooted my evo 4g lte and when i start the phone up the first htc startup boot screen it says on every rom i install
"This build is for developmental purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permissions. Failure to comply may lead to legal actions."
What's Your Question?

Hes asking how to get rid of the red text on the screen when it boots up.
Sorry but you can't until there is an s-off for hboot 2.09. I also hate it. If your hboot is lower, you can get s-off, which is highly recommended
Btw its not the roms, no Rom will be able to take it away. Its something HTC did to be d*ckheads

Its only a message to let you know the phone is setup for development, it does not affect anything. What is the problem you are having with Cricket?
Nevermind I see the other post
took it to a flashing place to get it flashed and they could not get data and mms working only talk and text
No that dosen't have anything do do with flashing the phone to another carrier

Luckily I was s-off and found and old ruu and it fixed the problem. I was hiking in Colorado last weekend and forced 800mhz to get service on the top of the peek. Something got borked and the virus ruu for 3.16 was not fixing the problem. The older htc ruu .exe worked great. Then I nandroided back. Just lost a few photos on my internal. All is well now.
Does Evo LTE even support 800MHz?
Edit: I was thinking of LTE, not CDMA.
Glad you got your phone working for you again

Does the HTC one require s-off after rooted?

I wonder if setting S-off would help the camera problem i am having with my One. I posted the problem a few minutes ago. My question is what is S-On or S-off mean? I saw when I was rooting my phone and flashing a custom kernel....
Can I ask what the two of you are even talking about ? I don't think you know .
No htc phone requires soff it's optional thing when available .And not always easy to achieve with HTC.You must gain an unlocked bootloader before you can root once you unlock and root you then can soff if it's been achieved for the specific device that one is attempting soff with.
It has nothing to do with needing it for root or needing it at all, soff just gives us the complete total control to flash kernels roms and a ton more of tech stuff.

You can't change soff or s on the way u think .It's not anything to do with what you are thinking.
Soff is very hard to achieve it takes great minds to do so . This is why HTC is greatly difficult to hack over the Samsung devices .
You don't need soff so stop worrying about it .trust me ,cause the HTC one is like the nexus models they work the same soff isn't needed really where as any other HTC soff phone is needed to flash roms in there entirety.
Without soff on most HTC phones you have to flash roms in pieces like boot.img has to be done from a pc before flashing the rom ,whereas the One can still do all that with s On.
