Rumrunner should work (rumrunner.us). This thread gives a breakdown on s-off methods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559232

No problem. Let me know how rumrunner goes. I used moonshine a while back, and am curious as to how well rumrunner is working and if its as easy as moonshine.

I just did it the other day with the 3.06 update. It has been working great for me. The one thing I am looking forward to is when they start releasing more ROMs for them. Right now the only real viable one is Super Stock Sense 5.

Releasing more ROMs? Are you referring to sense 5 ROMs based on the latest stock OTA? If not, there are plenty of great ROMs out there for the DNA. I've personally used ViperDNA (2.0.3), CM10.2, SlimBean 4.3.1, crDroid 4.3. They have all worked great, and there are plenty more to try. Thinking about making the jump to one of the 4.4 AOSP based ROMs (quite a few out now).

I am referring to the new ROMs (and ROMs, such as ViperDNA) that work with the new 3.06 firmware and are updated to work with it. I have seen several out there, but as for working with the new firmware, when I posted, there were few that were updated to work with it. I am not saying any of them are bad, or do not work, I am just looking for them to update and run on the new firmware, that is all.
I do not want to get something to try and run but not work because of firmware issues. For this reason, that is why I am running DNA Super Stock Sense5 released for the 3.06 firmware. I like it because it is unbloated stock with a few minor tweaks that really are nice (what is specifically coming to mind is the battery percentage on the notification bar, inlaid in the battery level).

10-4. I'm still new at this, so I was unaware that the new firmware would cause any issues with flashing a completely different ROM.

Your firmware shouldn't matter, the ROM you flash is your firmware. It includes the kernel, system, and apps. Radios are not flashed when you flash a rom, but all the radios work with all the ROMs.
I have never upgraded past the 1.15 firmware and I've been running a variety of ROMs. The only things I've changed are the radio and recovery (so I can flash 4.4 ROMs). No problems aside from the known bugs since I clean flash everything (system, cache, dalvik, and data).

Thanks for clearing that up! This was my understanding as well, so I was a bit confused when with the mention of the lack of ROMs compatible with the latest OTA. I hadn't heard of issues running any ROM after accepting the latest OTA and getting s-off through rumrunner.

I'm no expert, I am just telling you what I know. When I was talking with some of the guys in the irc chat, they told me that I had to watch which ROM I got because I had the 3.06 update. Like I said, I am no expert so I have just been weary.

OTA update ?

Hey guys, I'm kind of new to the rooting scene yet and I heard Verizon pushed an update out that fixes a lot of things with the tb. If I apply this update from the settings menu will it unrooot and turn s-on back on? I have not updated my device since I got it, about 2 months ago. I am running bamf Rom , at least I think that's the name of it . version 1.6 .3 something like that. so, what do I have to do to get my radio updated and everything else updated without losing my root or s off ? I see a bunch of topics that have to do with RUU BUT I don't understand what that means
Sent from my AR6400L using Tapatalk
I don't think you will be able to if your running bamf. You need to flash the new radio in the bootloader, then any Rom based off the new ruu to apply the fixes and keep s-off. Check to op of your rom

Read the first post in the BAMF thread. If you are running v1.6.3 and you installed it correctly, you already have the update, it's based on the leaked copy of the Verizon update that's out now.

This is exactly correct... AND NEVER ACCEPT AN OTA WHILE ROOTED! IT COULD CAUSE THERMO-NUCLEAR WAR...LOL. No really though, people who are trying to install the ota even with the stock ROM are getting stuck in a boot loop.
Just to reiterate op, if you are rooted you have no reason to install any ota ever! The developers incorporate it into their roms long before an ota starts. And...as long as you are rooted with s-off never install an ota! You quite frankly never know what will happen...
Hope this helps...
sent via rooted THUNDERBOLT with Tapatalk
im pretty sure das bamf 1.6.3 already has the latest ota update included. its based of the 1.13.605.7 ruu, which is the one included in the ota. so if your on that rom theres no need to apply the update, you already have it. i personally never accept ota's since most of the time you can find a rom that will include it way before the actual ota is released. and usually with way better features included

ics radio question.

Do i need to be on the new radio to run an ics custom rom? Im currently still on gb and i dont want to relock and run the ruu.

Yes and no. No, you can just run one of the new ROMs with the patch that is posted. Yes, you should just update and run the RUU because things will be, in general, much smoother for you. Your choice, though.
What are some of the bugs of the new radio?
Bugs? I've got none. It runs incredibly well. And I'm on the Dev edition of CleanROM.
Or just flash an older ics rom. Cleanrom 3 is based off the old leaks, so you don't have to flash leaked firmware.
i asked because usually you do not have to be on a specific radio to run a rom. i don't really like running leaked radios.

Q: Any reason to ruu?

Just curious, if I'm s-off and can/have flashed new radio and kernel is there still any reason to install the latest and greatest ruu? Are there any other benefits? Maybe I'm missing something but the latest roms from our awesome devs are being rebased on the latest leaks...I just don't see why flashing a ruu is needed. If I'm wrong or missing something please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Nah its has the same fw as last one just few bug fixed in software level
I'm not saying specifically the last one, I mean in general as new ruus come out. If vzw doesn't eol us that is. Thanks though.

in term of battery life i would stick to gb fw
but u can ics with patch and still got nice battery life
I've been rooted day one and s-off from the first day it was available and running cleanrom ics. GB sucked with sense for the half a day I used it. This was just an overall general question of "what's the point" and i'm sure others had similar thoughts. I'd hate for anyone to run a ruu for no reason just to have to re-setup their "got it the way I want it" rom of choice.

If you're flashing the radio and perhaps hboot updates every time, probably not. I guess the good thing about the RUU is that you flash everything together in a package that is known with some certainty by the manufacturer to all play nice. You can always nandroid your custom ROM back on afterwards.
That said...I independently flashed hboot once or twice, and radio several times, on my old Incredible without incident. I've only done the RUU, and only one time, on the Rez.

Yeah I've update the hboot with latest jb and flashed the latest radio and kernel, no issues thus far and all is well...so I conclude ruus are a waste unless that's what you want to roll with is stock

New EVO LTE, should I run newest ruu then root?

I'm just wondering if this will be the best method and save me from having to fastboot flash kernels to use newest roms based on 2.13 I'm currently hboot1.15 with 1.22 firmware.
Thanks in advance. Ps not a noob so not afraid to "go deep" with my phone
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Some people are holding out for a possible s-off, this will allow for firmware updates and the like while maintaining full write access to NAND. If this isn't a concern you can go ahead and update. The newest base doesn't really add much that isn't already in custom roms, it does cause some instability with a few roms that haven't updated their base. HBOOT 1.15+ requires you to fastboot kernel regardless. Some people have reported worse performance after OTA
Ok cool. So no big benifit of updating? I'm thinking of running latest Mean but honestly never fastboot flashed kernels b4. This is the first device I've got locked into a wack hboot that doesn't allow s-off.

You should read my guide, it has a lot of really helpful info. It will help answer a lot of questions and get you going faster. But in response to your question, you can run any rom/kernel provided its the same base. You can not however, flash firmware updates to your device without taking OTA

Thankyou, I've been pushing it harder then a politician with an agenda
I would highly recommend spending 0.99 to purchase Flash Image Gui. It makes it really easy for S-On to flash the kernel form the ROM zip, and then reboot to recovery and flash the full ROM. And no PC required to use the fastboot/ADB method.
You should take the update, those that don't will have problems, the new OTA includes a major upgrade to the radios. Those that have not taken the update and just use the new kernel with the new base software are having all kinds of problems with wifi, bluetooth, and holding their lte connections. All of these items were fixed in the new radio.
Now, the s-off argument, it is a fantasy! If you didn't s-off with the original bootloader 1.12 than you might as well upgrade to the full firmware of the new ota. You maybe waiting so long for a 1.15 s-off solution that your phone will have already been replaced with the next great phone that is released. Why handicap your phone with old firmware and radios when if you take the update now, you can still unlock your bootloader, flash twrp, and enjoy any of the custom rooted roms that are rocking the new base. Sense 4.1 and ICS 4.04 are worth the upgrade.

You may or may not be right about the 1.15 s-off being a pipe dream, but I for one am having ZERO issues with the old firmware and the newest MeanROM. Wifi works fine, bluetooth works fine. No LTE here yet, so I don't know if that will be an issue. Until I see a problem that requires new firmware or a new radio, I'm sitting tight and keeping my fingers crossed.
Hey it may be a dream and a solution may not be found until the next latest and greatest but on custom firmware I can keep my fairly beastly phone running just as good if not better then a stock latest and greatest 2 years from now. I have no problems with 1.15 and there's no lte here yet. My WiFi works wonderfully and kushdeck is killing it with CM10. I'd just as soon wait

I can say from my personal experience that this comment is absolutely false. I am sure that the new radios in the latest firmware are an improvement. However, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I am HBOOT 1.15, S-On, running MeanROM 3.9 with latest kernel flashed via Flash Image Gui. I live and work in a well covered LTE area. I am having none of the problems that you mention. LTE speeds of ~25Mb down, 18 Mb up. Wifi is working great at home, work, or the coffee shop. Bluetooth sounds just a clear as it always has.
So, it is very functional as-is. I am sure there may be improvements in the latest firmware, but to say you absolutely will have problems is just a lie. My LTEvo is running smooth like butter and fast as a rocket.
Not to mention the fact that some ROMs are on the old base and have issues with the new base, there was quite a few threads here and in other forums about people wanting to jump back to an older base
Well, if you want to keep running old firmware, that's your option. Thankfully I am s-off and rocking MeanRom 3.9 with the latest firmware and very happy. The op asked a question and got a lot of one sided answers from the "wait for s-off crowd" and I wanted to chime in. I have seen a lot of posts in the MeanRom thread and others that they have wifi and bluetooth problems and the common denominator is running the old firmware with the new kernel and base. Also seen hundreds of posts by people in LTE fringe areas unable to hold their LTE without it constantly switching back to 3g which is one of the fixes with the new radios. And to the old base custom roms not working well with the new firmware that is false, the new radios work fine with those old out of date custom roms. Step into the future and enjoy a fast trouble free phone.

All true but I have seen plenty of people brick trying to jump back to earlier firmware
Thanks for all the comments. Currently I am rooted using HTC dev method. I have newest twrp recovery by using goo manager to overwrite the old twrp version that I had after using an older manual method to root.
I am running MeanRom 3.9 now. Found flash IMG app on play store pretty quick and its easy to use. Basically my phone is almost back to fully customized. I asked the question right when I got my replacement yesterday. Although I would like the benifits of the update, I'm kinda with the if it ain't broke don't fix it crowd. I'm not a fan of using adb to root but it def wasn't difficult at all. I'm just worried now that at this point to go back, ruu, update and such could be more harm then good at this point. Am I right?
Sent from my EVO using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
There's really not much harm, the biggest problem updating had been ROM compatibility and most developers are on the new base or are currently in the middle moving over. Those of us sticking with 1.15 are hopelessly awaiting an soff exploit that nay or may not come
Glad to see you're on MeanRom. Mikey is a great dev and fast with the updates. Since he is currently updating all of his tweaks to the new base, expect an update almost every day. The great thing about MeanRom is you don't have to wipe data between installs. And since you're already on the new kernel, when you update you won't have to flash it again, just the rom. Mikey now uses the ota updater app so you can use it to download the new rom each time and perform the install.

[Q] New DNA. Rooted. Then stuck in roaming. Now can't reunlock.

I'll try to make this as brief as possible.
I convinced VZW to replace my Thunderbolt with a DNA.
I get it two days ago and discover rooting it will be challenging. I find Moonshine, then find out it won't run on 3.06. I find Rumrunner. After some settings tweaks, it works. So I'm rooted, S-Off. Ready to roll. I stick CM 10.2 on it. It works for a while, then I reboot and I'm stuck in roaming. I try flashing different ROMs to no avail. I do more reading and find that relocking and flashing back to stock will fix this. So I re-lock and flash stock 3.06. Still roaming. And now it shows "Relocked". I managed to get Hboot 1.15 on it and flash an O.G. VZW ROM. Now I'm down to Android 4.1. I'm "re-locked". Everything I read about reunlocking states to use the token sent from HTC. Since I never used the HTC Devsite to unlock, I don't have a token. Am I screwed here?
Thanks in advance, all. I always feel bad asking for help because I only do so when running into issues rooting a new phone. But I do donate and give thanks where it's due. I love what you guys do and always point people in your direction.
Did you just "relock" the boot loader and not s-on? Does your hboot still say s-off? If so, you can still do some fastboot commands to flash a custom recovery and reunlock with the (almost) global HTC unlock zip Scotty made. It works on our DNA and plenty of other HTC devices, But it requires s-off and a custom recovery.
I will update my post with link to the zip soon.
Edit: don't remember the thread for DNA, but like I said. It is a semi global zip and all the zips/commands are the same. If you use the zip please give Scotty a thanks to boost his meter

If you are still s-off and need to get an ulock-token from HTC try this...
Boot into fastboot and connect your phone and make sure fastboot recognizes your device and try this command (this won't hurt the phone)
Fastboot oem writecid 22222222
Make sure you input 8 2's and then reboot the boot loader and check to see if that stuck
Fastboot oem readcid
If you don't get all 2's this next bit won't work
If you do get all 2's then go to HTCdev.com and unlock your device by either selecting the DNA DLX or the "all other supported models"
(not sure if there is a dna on the list)
You will then use the unlock_code.bin to unlock the boot loader however this will wipe the device clean so backup your stuff
Hope this works and helps

You guys are friggin' badass. Uzephi. .torrented. Scotty. I love you all.
It took the new CID. The Dev site sent me the unlock.bin. All is right in the world. All I wanted was a stock debloat rooted so I can tether and get rid of stuff I don't want. Now, I can. Thanks so much guys.
I'm glad you got it to work!
The DNA is a sexy phone, unlocking it is like getting her to "open up" so you can do whatever you want.
Yeah, so far I'm digging it. Even in it's stock form. What are some well-loved stable ROMs? I tried CM and that's what started this fiasco. I'm thinking I just want a debloated stock ROM and I'll do what I will with it from there.

Try the new Sense 5 ROMs.
I still love CM ROMs though and they haven't given me a problem. Since your S-off you should try some of the other radios if the newest one is playing nice with CM ROMs.
Been running this with the APM Mod(Advanced Power/Reboot Menu): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565190
Stable, debloated, Sense 5
I would give ViperDNA a try, Zarboz's GPE, and pick a random aosp-based ROM as well.

Which CM are you running? I don't mind the stock debloated except the sense crap. I don't like their menus. I don't like the lock screen. I really just want stock Android I think. And I'll tweak it from there. I'm also quite apprehensive after flashing CM10.2 and getting the Roaming issue.

Thank you again guys. You've been fantastic as always. As soon as I'm not unemployed, donations will be made.
Team Venom came out with ViperDNA 3.0.0 two days ago. I upgraded from 2.5.0 and have to say, it is amazing.
It is KitKat and based off the Verizon One KitKat Rom.
The nice thing of Viper Roms is they have sense and aosp components in it. You can choose to use GE launcher or Prism. You can choose stock lock screen or aosp lock screen. And much more to desense the Rom.

I'm so spoiled by my Nexus 10 that I flashed this on my DNA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392799
Now I'm stuck in roaming again. damnit.

That's a really old GPE ROM, why not just flash Zarboz's GPE ROM, it's based on the newest OS.
The roaming issue might be that you need to change the settings from w/e they are to the correct ones in mobile data
I'll check out Zarboz's now. It appears that flashing with the SIM card out seems to do the trick with the roaming fiasco.

I have been using the full_dlx-codefirex 4.4.3.2.xxx. It is stripped down and super fast. I don't know others opinions of it being a daily driver but I have been using it as a daily driver for almost a week now and have had no problems; other than DSP Manager not working but; for me that thing has only worked CM 11. I just disabled it. Anyway I am sure you will find a ROM that you like from around here. Personally I have tried about eight or nine different ones before the codefire.
