I unlocked my LTE using the HTC Developers method. All went smooth and my phone says it's unlocked - but I can't do a thing now that I couldn't before.
BusyBox won't install. FAIL
SuperUser won't install and update - ERROR / FAIL
Tried flashing TeamWin Recovery and while it never gives any error and it seems to do everything it should - I can't get into Recovery. I just get the HTC screen followed by a RED triangle or a reboot. Did this through Goo as well as with Fastboot and never any errors but while Recovery is an option in my Hboot - it jut leads to a red triangle or a reboot.
I tried re-locking and unlocking which again went without a hitch - but still no luck with superuser, busybox, teamwin recovery, Titanium Backup.
Any HELP would be sooooo appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack
if you just did the dev unlock, I think you just unlocked your bootloader. You still to root to install SU and actually do anything.
Sounds like you didn't root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577
Root, unlock bootloader and S-OFF seem to have separate procedures.
On the twrp thread it says nothing about needing to root it just says to htc unlock and install via goomanager.
How did you get activation email from Htcdev? I've tried 5 different emails and usernames. Still nothing.

it assumes that one would know that one has to have root in order to flash a custom recovery and install superuser.
*Edit: I was mistaken. It would seem that you don't need root to flash recovery, at least on the One X (which is similar). So, I'm not sure what the problem is.
Do you need to unlock the bootloader first, or root first? Or does the order not matter?

right, but you need root in order to USE goomanager. The way to install a custom recovery without root is to unlock bootloader and flash recovery thru fastboot (and THEN use recovery to flash SU). That is the more common/conventional (i.e. oldschool) method.

So recently I decided to delve into the world of Rooting. So i did a little research and finally decided it was time.
So I rooted my Evo 4G LTE using regawmod
Well it worked all fine and dandy. Until I decided to unroot and use an RUU so that i could root in a different method and flash a ROM on it then.
First i went into SuperSU and told it to unroot. I wasn't worried about trying to remove the tampered tag as i was just goin to root the device again. But SuperSU told me that the unroot failed.
So i continue to find a different method, more thorough. I came across a guide on HTC hacks on how to unroot the device, reflashes the original ROM on it and as well removes the tampered tag. I try it and use the correct (or so i think) RUU (the 1.13.651.1). The RUU told me it couldn't do it and gave me the 155 error, wrong ROM image as i have found out. In the actual RUU process it says to update from 1.13.651.1_R2 to 1.13.651.1 (I'm not sure if that is pertinent information)
So i recover boot the phone back up and it doesn't seem to have any problems. Except SuperSU is gone (tried reinstalling and got the no SuperSU binary error when i ran it)
So any help as to how to flash my phone back to normal so i can go about my business?

I am very new to this and did something as my friend said, really stupid. I rooted my Evo LTE with the one click root method. This installed TWRP Recovery. After a few days I found a ROM I wanted to install. I installed ROM manager and along with this it installed Clockworkmod. I tried to install the rom from the zip I put on the root but clockwork opens up as my recovery instead of TWRP and does not run any commands. So after trying to get clockwordmod to work and couldn't... I decided to unroot phone and just re-root (yes very stupid). So after unrooting via SuperUser, I tried to install the RUU and it would'nt install as bootloader/recovery not work. I have no clue what to do
Are you running the ruu on your pc? It's not something you flash on your phone.

cwm recovery dont work on the evo LTE.. u have to flash the twrp 2.2.0 recovery.. yea the ruu is like a tool.. plug ya phone in and run it.. very easy

You have to relock your bootloader to run an ruu.

Try to flash TWRP again. If your able to do this then running a ruu is not nessary. As stated before clockworkmod recovery has problems on the Evo LTE.

Thank you thank you, I was able to relock the bootloader last night. Tonight I will try and reflash TWRP. This has been a good learning experience so far. At least i didn't brick the phone As the phone is no longer rooted do i need to root it as part of my flashing TWRP? The one click root method installs TWRP as part of the whole process.

You do not need to be rooted to flash a recovery but your bootloader needs to be unlocked. If your unlocking your bootloader using htcdev method then you don't need to be rooted. If your unlocking your bootloader using lazypanda method then you need root or temp root before you can run lazypanda.

i was using this method, roter froze at installing recovery, and now i think my phone is bricked. it wont power on and i cant access bootloader
So after finding out about the OTA update to 4.0, I decided to get rid of my custom rom, de root, and try it out. Seems good so far, but I haven't seen any info on rooting this yet. Anyone know if there is a way to do this yet? Or even a crazy guess as to when this will happen?

why on earth would you "deroot" just wait 24 hours to flash the rooted version then you wouldn't have to worry about that. the bootloaded has changed... unlikely anyone will be able to root. unless the CD works on 4.0

Bummer. I de rooted because in order to run an ics Rom I needed a custom kernel, and either the kernel or the Rom made the phone freeze up one in ten times I turned off the screen. Wasn't worth it to me.
To root the ota all you have to do is apply a custom recovery .IMG file via fastboot or a pg86img.zip file in bootloader. Then install via the new recovery Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip (google it, easy to find). Boot into the system and download busybox via the playstore and then install busybox via the app. That's it. You will have full root with busybox.

Already ppl asking for root on the new update smh it might take a long time just like s-off for 1.5 or no time at all but I would just wate for a stock rooted Rom of the ota update
Phone:HTC Evo 3D CMDA
HTC Sense:3.6
Software number:MeanROM ICS v2.0
Kernel version:?????
Baseband version:1.06.00.1216
Build number:1.13.662.2_RC
HBOOT:1.50 S-off (juopunutbear)
Recovery:4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC 5
Cant get root access.
So while browsing yesterday I came across the news that ICS ota update for Sprint EVO 3D has started rolling out.
I was on Mean ROM ICS 2.4.
I immediately went into recovery did a superwipe , relocked the bootloader using fastboot and started installing 2.17 ruu so as to get ICS update OTA.
I was successful in doing on what I had planned to . Booted up into system got OTA update and upgraded to ICS.
Played around with it for some time before I got bored and decided I need to root it.
So I then went into fastboot...... Unlocked the bootloader again ... flashed cwm touch recovery and installed SU 3.0.** .zip hoping that I would be able to install busybox and get root access.
Tadaaaa surprise surprise !!!!!!!
Latest superuser version installed there but it was not helping at all.
Downloaded busybox but it wont install and no matter what I tried I didnt get root access.
Above that my phone has gotten slow now and I no more get smooth transitions across while scrolling .
I find myself in trouble now.
Could any one suggest how I could get root or perform and fresh install again.
Also I was unlocked hboot 1.5 s-on which got updated to hboot 1.58 I guess.
So now its unlocked hboot 1.58 S-ON
I am not habitual to the spiking during transitions and it for some reason annoys me. I could really use some help here.
Rooting 101- never, ever, ever, ever, ever take any OTA. Simple. As others have said recently and since rooting android started, wait a day for the awesome devs to post the rooted rom.

cant manage to get root

I was waiting for this update for a long time.

Now I am stuck with an upgraded hboot too. I guess I have screwed myself up atleast for a few days. :crying::crying:

Well I must have gotten lucky. I decided i'd rather run stock without any root instead of having to deal with pulling my battery 20 times a day. Tried several roms, custom kernels made it faster, but weren't very stable. Now on stock ics rooted, don't see the big deal. It was easy to root again, and everything I was doing before works just the same. The only problem I'm having is getting dsp manager to work, but it didn't work on my custom rom either.
Perfectly satisfied with the ota.

Same result with 3.0.7 but for some reason if you go to http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and download 3.1.3 it works just fine
Just sharing my upgrade/root experience - was running ICS Cool Sense v7, S-OFF, HBOOT 1.04 ENG. Downloaded 2.17 PG86IMG from goo-inside.me site. Flashed that and it automatically re-locked my phone but kept S-OFF. Booted up with HBOOT 1.5, downloaded OTA and installed it. Now on HBOOT 1.58, unlocked phone again with HTCDEV. Flashed CWM Touch Recovery via Fastboot then Superuser 3.1.3 in Recovery. Full root - no issues.

Same here. Had all kinds of issues and tried 3.1.3 from Recovery about 30 minutes ago. Worked like a charm - full root.
P.S. I have always been stock with S-On so it works either way.
I did this with 1.5 hboot s off. Just unrooted and locked bootloader loaded up the 2.17 pg86img.zip and took the ota. Relocked bootloader and flashed cwm recovery and Su 2.3.6 (I think...) And I'm back in business with full root. works like a charm and very easy. Even for me and I'm a total noob. now I just gotta figure out how to add tweaks and remove bloatware.

Also, I have tried to methods of acquiring s-off to no avail.............Can anyone help me. Thanks
You are flashing a recovery meant for the One(m7). Find the recovery in this forum for the One Max to flash.
Almost There....
I found the right twrp recovery and a working superuser; so I'm now rooted and can enter recovery. My Bootloader is unlocked and all I need now is to s-off, which Rumrunner failed to do repeatedly. I need to find another method.
I have a Sprint HTC One Max running Android 4.3 with Sense 5.5.

Rumrunner will not complete if you have a Firewall or Anti-Virus active. Disable them then it should install. But it worth noting that if you already have twrp/root you don't really need S-OFF. Unless you want to Super CID/Change the Bootloader Flag otherwise you can flash roms and recoveries with Bootloader Unlocked.
Good information.
I have everything done and flashed the Sky Dragon Rom. Working great; last change is to get the fingerprint scanner up and running.
I "relocked" the bootloader and it still is not functioning.
Fully Functional
I had uptained s-off but made mu fingerprint scanner inoperable. Well the Guru Bootloader Reset Tool Locked my bootloader and removed the "Tampered" script in less than three seconds. My Scanner is working flawlessly again.
Thank you all.....:laugh::victory:

You don't need s-off to unlock bootloader and root. Of course if you want to be able to use the fingerprint scanner, you would need to be s-off and locked.
