Is there any way to get S-off if my dna's firmware is on 2.07? My original DNA pooted out on me and had a cracked screen so i bought a new one and i really want to get sense 5 back up and running. Is there any way to get S-off with it being on 2.07 or can I downgrade to 2.06? Thanks for any help!

Did it on _two_ DNAs with 2.07 in the last couple of weeks. The first one took some learning (turned out had to disable anti-virus in Win7), then it's a piece of cake.
i did mine last night was on 2.0.7 moonshine worked flawlessly

Moonshine works fine on windows 8 with 2.07 just make sure adb/fastboot are up and running properly (open sdk manager and take any updates) factory reset from within stock Rom. then dl moonshine, unzip it (right click extract all) then run distiller from within the extracted folder.

Also yes disable any antivirus you currently have running. thatll cause problems with distiller. Make sure you recheck usb debugging after factory reseting. And you know how to make sure adb/fastboot are running properly I assume? Also HTCsync needs to be UNINSTALLED from your comp.. I had to install it for it to install the HTCdna drivers then uninstall HTC syncmanager..

The one thing i had failed to do was disable all of my avast antivirus... after hours of fighting, moonshine ran no problem, smooth as silk...
I guess thats what i get for not following all of the directions from the start

refer to my s-off guide here in the rezound q&a forums...the windows version.which im assuming your trying to use was ONLY meant for ICS and was removed because the windows version hard bricked one too many devices
Edit: as you are on gingerbread that too was produced by verizon and htc....same as pure stock ics....you can also get a non verizon sense based ics rom on here which runs much better than verizons gingerbread or ics
You think it would be easier to s-off with or without taking the OTA update?

You don't really have a choice here... You have Amon Ra (a custom recovery) so even if you take the OTA it won't install, OTA updates require a stock recovery.
The Windows S-OFF method will only work with ICS (there was no GB version), so you could install the 3.14.605.12 RUU first (this will give you a stable ICS version installed), but with the messages you are getting it sounds like you have a driver or USB issue, or perhaps Fastboot enabled (not the same as fastboot from the bootloader) or USB Debugging not turned on.
Be very cautious with the Windows ControlBear, @REV3NT3CH is correct, it was removed because it bricked a lot of phones, it was never stable... it works for most people, but there are circumstances that if put together correctly will brick you device permanently. You could try the Linux method, it is the only official way and there is a GB version on http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm that will work with your device.
TBH, I'd not even bother. I'd look into seeing why ADB/Fastboot doesn't work right. First I'd uninstall HTC Sync (should have been called HTC Stync LOL).

Okay, well, here is where I get confused. When I s-off'd 2 years ago it was on gingerbread and I still have the old juopunutbear program so in theory everything should be the same. To my knowledge, I can't figure out a way to toggle debugging on GB. Oh, can anyone link me to (literally) from start to finish, every single download I will need to successfully s-off given the specs that I've provided that I'm working with? I would appreciate it more than you know because I must be doing something wrong. Thanks!!

Would it be okay if I were to dualboot a Linux image on my Windows PC to perform S-OFF? There wouldn't be any command errors or extra precautions, right?

yes its ok to dualboot...thats my setup and works fine...i suggest using 32 bit version of linux as that is what is recommended....my guide on here gives perfect step by step instructions for it
I think(needs clarification) you have to fastboot flash boot.img, boot back into rom and try again.

try a different wire....ive seen a few rezounds where its gotten stuck on jpbear arrow screen and renders it permanently BRICKED

I will be honest, I have used the Windows utility every time, it hasn't failed me yet, once I have gotten to that point and the wire trick failed, it should continue to prompt you to do the trick or tell you what to do... Just run ControlBear again, it should take you to the point where you do the wire trick again, if not, look at the ControlBear Troubleshooting page on unlimited.io

Actually, you are almost there... if you are stuck in Fastboot, try this from step #2, remember you are in Windows, so you might have to copy files into and issue the commands from the appropriate directory instead of using "sudo":
There are three ways to recover your ROM. Try each one in until you succeed:
Open the cmd prompt that is located in your ControlBear folder where you unzipped all of the files.
Type the following cmds into the cmd prompt.
1. ControlBear -r (This is run with the phone at the JuopunutBear/Arrow screen) If this succeeds recovery is complete otherwise continue to Step 2.
2. ControlBear -f (This is run with the phone at the fastboot screen). If this succeeds you're done otherwise continue to Step 3.
3. fastboot flash boot boot_backup.img
4. fastboot flash recovery recovery_backup.img (This is done with the phone in fastboot mode) If this succeeds continue to Step 5.
5. Boot the phone to android and install busybox from the market if not already installed.
6. sudo ./adb push sdcard.img /data/local/tmp/
7. sudo ./adb shell
8. $ su
9. # busybox dd if=/data/local/tmp/sdcard.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1 conv=notrunc
10. Reboot the phone.

Update: also how do I disable the lock screen on android 4.4
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Free mobile app
If you can get your hands on a Windows 7 machine that's the best way to get your phone soff. I don't think anyone has really used Windows 8.1 as it and our DNA don't get along unless you do something with the drivers. I remember there was a thread talking about Windows 8 and the DNA a while ago. Try searching but I'm not sure if they ever solved it.
In terms of disabling the lock screen it's no longer an option in sense. However if you download the app called no lock in the app store it will get rid of your lock screen.
Hope this is somewhat helpful.

The temp root doesn't really work anymore on Verizon devices.
You need to run weaksauce for temp root, then use Firewater.

To run the RUU from Windows 7 64 bit, be sure to install latest HTC sync manager and connect phone to finalize driver installation. Then try again.

I assumed that if the phone rooted and adb and fastboot work than the drivers were installed? Some times the ruu comes up and ask me to install with recomended settings

Ill need to check this one out. Thank you
no dice! still s-on
if it is of any concern my s-on shows RL after it?
Why don't you just do the RUU back to factory stock and try it from the beginning? It seems like it might save you some time over trying to troubleshoot what is actually wrong.
Try rumrunner again. That's what finally worked for me one time. Rumrunner didn't take the first time and it didn't make a difference running it a second or third time. Firewater didn't work either, but I had success when I went back to rumrunner.
My worthless theory is that, for whatever reason, RR wasn't able to complete a specific critical step, but that FW was able to handle it. But then FW encountered issues on a subsequent step. Going back to RR worked because, this time, FW already took care of the task that RR couldn't do the first time around.
Of course I don't have a stack of evo's sitting around waiting to be s-offed, so I didn't get much of a chance to test my theory. I seem to remain s-off now even after ruu.
Remember to wipe well. It will help prevent a stinky ROM as well as awkward social situations.
I ruu to the one that had sence 5 and then rooted and ran Firewater (2 TIMES) and I'm good! Thank you for all your help
Hi, I am having trouble gaining S-Off in Windows 8.1 64 bit with HBoot 2.49 and Vodafone Stock rom 3.19.161.3 Android 4.4.2 using Firewater.
ADB and Fastboot both work fine, I get to the stage where it opens a bottle, says chugging, then it just goes back to enter a command. I don't get any error messages or anything, just resets CMD back.
Hope someone can help. I am using my phone at the moment but I will do it again and upload a picture if that will help. Thanks

Yes I have installed my Titanium Backup so SuperSU is working correctly. Bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed

If I remember correctly after you get chugging do you see anything like chugging complete?
What do you mean when it resets CMD?
Wasn't there some post stating that trying to do it with 8.1 Windows get problems. Have you tried it on Windows 7 or lower?
