my problem is i just updated to twrp 2.7.0.1 and no everytime i exit the recovery it says theres no op or superuser installed. its funny cus i do and it boots up normal. please help me its annoying and scary at the same time thanks. on htc evo 4g lte rooted and unlocked s-on with meanbean 3.9. i wanted to add i just tried to flash viper rom and it has the aroma installer 2.0 and says the kernal wasnt installed. so im basically stuck on meanbean.
Meanbean is one of the only ROMs you can flash s-on without fastboot flashing the kernel separately through the bootloader.
S-on is doing what it's supposed to. Meanbean somehow maintained its HTC signature, so the phone doesn't know that it's supposed to try to fix it.
Get s-off. Also consider running the ruu to update to the new partition layout.

thank you i actually just fixed it. i had to downgrade trwp. twrp2 was bad. maybe a bad dl. i know i have to flash the boot.img in fb while s-on. the weird thing was i couldnt make a backup or even mount via twrp. so i figured that was it. now you say to get s-off, well i need help with that. i have hboot 2.9 (0830) and i tried moonshines s-off and it didnt work it always says adb connection failed and yes usb debugging was enabled. what would you suggest to get s-off on my htc evo 4g lte. ive searched and read. alot of programs only use linux. im on win 7 and live cd was a pain. if you could help with that i would appreciate it.

You can try Firewater for Hboot 2.09.
I'd recommend running the newest RUU to update to 2.10, then unlocking, rooting and running rumrunner. That seems to be the way most people are getting s-off nowadays without running into hassles (you'll find a lot of threads where people on 2.09 and such having random issues trying to gain s-off, although it is very doable)

So i was having the ghost touch issues on my phone for the past 2 weeks and thought maybe just to take it into sprint. So i had to unroot, RUU, etc and it was having the same issues. Took it into sprint and they said they ran diagnostics on it and nothing was wrong but when i got home it was doing the same thing. But now im updated on 2.89 and HBoot 1.58 and want to know how to root, s-on or s-off doesnt matter, and also downgrade so i can got back to aosp ROMs or Mazda's and also sense ROMs. So if anyone can help it wuld be greatly appreciated. P.S Yes i've searched this topic and it just came up with a lot of different pages and methods so telling me to search before asking isnt necessary.

You can try my guide which was designed to get you from any build with S-ON to a rooted, S-OFF Sprint ICS configuration as easily as possible. You can probably skip the first step, which is flashing the 2.89.651.2 RUU.exe, since it sounds like they did that already when they worked on your phone.
If they did the OTA instead you could have problems with the HTC unlock, so if that happens just go back and flash the RUU.exe.
Good luck!

Unable to downgrade HBOOT 1.53.0007 to 1.49.0007
Hi, yesterday I decided to "upgrade" my sister's HTC EVO3D GSM to make unlock, root...also S-OFF if needed to flash any ROM, but it was the first time i was flashing EVO3D so it was whole day I sit at the computer watchin&reading tutorials and this forum before I could do anything...finally i partially succed, I made unlock by HTCdev method, flashed recovery via fastboot...flashed ROM from recovery, but I wanted to install CM9 ROM by agrabren and surely it wasnt working, because the phone is no HBOOT 1.53.0007...
So for the instance, the phone:
Is HTC EVO3D GSM
was on stock ICS 4.0.3 OTA rom
HBOOT 1.53.0007 S-ON
UNLOCKED S-ON by htcdev method
followed this thread to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28106291 and flash ROM
Then it's working on ICS NonSense® 4.0
but i want to try CM9/10/AOKP ROMs so i realized i need to downgrade HBOOT to 1.49.0007 and get revolutionary S-OFF so i tried to follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471246
The first method copying mmcblk0p31.img to sdcard and here im stuck....I dont understand why, but the command "adb shell dd....." copies mmcblk0p31 file of 16kB size and total empty content, so I cant change any version to 1.20.720.1 and cant downgrade....
So how to solve this problem? Is it cause that first I need to get hboot 1.53 S-OFF?
Thanks for the reply...
//Im sorry my post is also located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833367 where is I think better place for it and I didnt find how to delete it from here...
Hey guys i gota semi bricked EVO LTE on the 3.16 SW i was wondering if anyone can help me fix. I tried to root it and thats what caused this issue. I did the bootloader unlocked, loaded TWRP recovery, then installed SU, then it wouldn't turn on, would only flash to sprint screen.
I have tried to to a full wipe / factory - didn't work
i have tried to load the 3.15 RUU - does not work (it just shows loading the rom forever)
i have tried to load it through fastboot via Ulimited.IO (it just freezes during the loading of the SW)
what else can i try? I seems like everytime the phone tries to take a ROM it will just not respond.
thanks
OK your on the latest firmware I think 3.16 and if your s-on that means you have the new touch panel driver which limits what ROMs will work on your device.
You need to download a ROM with a s-on installer included or pull the boot IMG from the ROM and flash via fast boot because you can't flash kernels easily when your S-ON .You also will need a rom that's compatible with the latest fw. AFAIK most of the sense ROMs will be good to go, I really don't know which ones cause I'm s-off and don't have the tp driver problem.
If you need more info there's s thread stickied in Q&A called "don't panic" that will answer most of questions
Once your up and running you should go about getting S-Off.

I just tried to flash MeanBean v309 on it via fastboot and it didn't work? is it because the file is too big? I am pretty sure the bean mean is a S-on ROM
Looks like u need to unlock again. Use the same command as the last time
"Fast boot OEM unlock" or whatever it is. Flash twrp recovery thru fast boot. Once you have twrp installed flash a rooted ROM to gain root.

took your advice, re-unlocked it and installed TWRP recovery on it, and now i get recovery, but i cant use it because the touch screen does not work so i'm in the process of trying to find a CMW recovery instead and try to install a newer rom.

Do not use CMW. It was abandoned a long time ago for our phones. Something about it screwing up partitions. Install a new version of TWRP. 2.4 or higher. And Venom rom has an s-on installer for sure. Other roms might have one but I'm not sure which ones. Stay away from CMW.
The s-on installer is just an installer added to the ROM zip so that you don't have to flash the boot.img seperately. Just get a working version of TWRP and flash Venom (or other s-on friendly rom). That should work.

I have one last question, does this mean i can only install roms compatible with 3.16 now? The only reason i went through all of this was because i wanted ICS on it. The new JB diag drivers dont work, and the only way i can make the diag drivers work is to downgrade to ICS. If i try to downgrade will i mess it up again?

Yes, you are stuck on 3.16 roms. Anything below and your touchscreen won't work. I highly recommend going for s-off. Makes everything so much easier. The only other option is to use babyracun from unlimited.io then ruu to 3.15. But if you're doing that you might as well go for s-off.

Do steps 6-9 on unlimited io. That will leave your phone at stock 3.15. Then go and find out what facepalm requires and continue with that.
SOLVED!! Thanks to everyone, especially bigdaddy and FinZ! I will post something about what I did and what I used to get S-Off since it is actually really easy once put into easy to understands terms
Hey everyone,
Everything was going really as I was rooting my Evo 4G LTE this afternoon, until I realized I forgot to S-off. TWRP was installed and Superuser was flashed - Anyways, I got antsy and wiped the phone and flashed CM 10.1 and realized I forgot S-off - so of course, the phone wouldn't boot past the HTC screen.
I've been trying to flash stock roms to get into the superuser app, but none of them will load. They start to flash in TWRP, then the phone reboots to the HTC splash screen.
I am now unlocked, but still S-on. I can't flash any roms right now and was hoping someone might be able to help me out. I even tried the process all over again, but I get the same problem. So as of now, I can't get an OS on the phone.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Edit: I was running the latest OTA with HBOOT 2.09.

Flash meanbean or viper rom, both have s-on kernel installer and you should be able to get s-off using dirty racun or moonshine... Sharkie rom is a stock rom too with a s-on installer... Good Luck!

Question... How did you install your recovery? Goo manager, pj75img.zip, or fastboot? I have had this same problem and the only solution was to fastboot flash a recovery... Dunno it was very weird and has only happened on my lte but it's been months.

I installed it using fastboot. I'm going to try one of the ROMs suggested above and see if that works. I'll let you all know as soon as I do it.
I keep reading that Moonshine won't work with HBOOT 2.09 - and I haven't had any luck getting it to work; it still gives me connection issues saying it can't connect to the phone. It's weird... I can use the adb devices command in recovery mode and my device ID shows up, but when I go into fastboot USB and do adb devices, I can't get it to show up. If I could somehow get that to show up during fastboot, it would mean smooth sailing.
Update: I successfully installed Meanbean. However, I still cannot gain S-Off. Moonshine won't work and I do not know enough to use DirtyRacun since it must be used with Ubuntu. I'll post my Moonshine issues in that thread
Thanks for the help with this! It looks like it just needed a S-On ROM to be installed which I though I was doing before!
I've tried every single HTC driver available and I can't get anything to recognize the Evo when it's in fastboot. It only recognizes the device when the ROM is loaded and USB storage is enabled. Unfortunately, I can't get s-off (as far as I know) without being in the bootloader and using fastboot.
Anyone know how I can achieve this or how I can get everything to communicate with one another like they're supposed to?
Have you deleted all the HTC stuff on your PC rebooted it the plug you phone back in and it should load the drivers again
then boot into bootloader and it should load more drivers
also try updating your android-sdk
Make sure you have the most current HTC driver. At least one person that I know of had issues until he updated to the most recent driver, which can be found in the link below. Use the HTC driver from post #2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179776
Also, like Bigdaddy said, make sure you have things like HTC Sync removed. Make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port, too. I don't know where you read Moonshine doesn't work with Hboot 2.09, because it does (specifically for the latest OTA).

Hello all, I tried searching but if I missed the thread please point me to it. I was able to unlock the bootloader using HTC Dev but I cant seem to install TWRP. Am I missing a step or something? I am running an HTC Evo 4G LTE on 3.17. I tried putting the PJ75IMG.zip in the root of the sd card but when restarted in the bootloader it read it and said main version is older. I tried using goomanager to download and install but that didnt work either. Am i doing something wrong here? Thanks in advance guys (and girls)!
fastboot flash it PJ75IMG.zip will only work if you are S-OFF
Put the .img file in the folder you are using to run the commands from.
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
OK. So fastboot is the best method. Then I can install super user correct? I dont HAVE to install a ROM if i dont want to correct? I can just run stock root? If I wanted to install a ROM would I need to be S-OFF? or could I install one while still being S-ON? It has been quite some time since I rooted a phone. Last phone was the Samsung Epic 4G. What a terrible phone. Thanks and sorry for so many questions.

I personally use fastboot to install twrp then when you want/need to update twrp you can fastboot flash again or use goomanager from the playstore.
You can install SuperSU and run stock rooted or flash a custom rom which has superuser added
As for flashing roms you can flash them while s-on it's just more work because you have to fastboot flash the kernel/boot.img then flash the rom.
I always recommend S-OFF as it will save you the extra steps in flahing roms and also if you mess something up you can flash an older RUU if the most current RUU is not available.
@FinZ28 has a great guide explaining how to flash the kernel/boot.img
OK, so now the question becomes what method for S-OFF should I use? I would like to be able to make it look like I never rooted the phone if need be if at all possible. I heard good things about rumrunner for 3.17. am i correct that this would be the best method or is there a better one? again sorry its been too long and this is my first HTC root.

Yes unlock your bootloader if you have not already
Install twrp
Flash SU
Then S-OFF(make sure you read all the pre-requisetes before starting rumrunner
As fo the weird menu it may disappear if you flash a custom rom
Ok so I came across another issue. I cant seem to get busybox to install. I would like to install cyanogenmod 10 and qbking mentions needing s-off to do so. Is that correct? It is a bit of a pain being on 3.17 but I guess there isnt much I can do. Any advice for installing busybox? Thanks again
I successfully installed Busybox on 3.17 last night. As far as having to be S-off to flash CM, no, you don't have to be, but it makes life easier. Hit the top link in my sig and read my Hboot guide if you haven't already done so.

I read your hboot guide. Very informative. Rumrunner requires busybox and for whatever reason I cannot install busybox. Could you possibly eexplain what choices you made that worked? I tried installing to bin and xbin. Should I install to a custom location instead? If so where should I? I would like to be s-off and have cyanogen lol. Thanks again guys!

It was on the pocketables website. search "rumrunner HTC EVO 4g LTE" everytime I seem to try to install busybox my phone crashes.
Are you running just the stock rooted factory rom?
You could try Captain_Throwbacks 3.17 rooted rom or SharkieRom 3.17
Try this. Its a TWRP flashable zip of the latest Busybox (v1.20.2). See if that straightens things out with your issue. Make sure you have a backup handy just in case.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g16xuqbzbmzz8yz/busybox-signed.zip
You can use a file manager like Root Explorer and go to /system/xbin/ and look to make sure you see the Busybox file. If it's there you're good to go:thumbup: (I did not develop the Busybox file-I simply took the file and make it into a flashable zip. Big thanks to Rootlinux for showing me how it's done).

WTF: What are you doing?
Idk what I am doing wrong here. I couldnt even get it to work right using windows so I had to break out the laptop.
It gets to that point every time then fails and reboots the phone.
Software version: 3.17.651.4
Android Version: 4.1.1
Kernal Version: 3.4.10-gf5d846c
Is there anything else needed to help figure this out? Tis getting a wee bit frustrating. Can I S-OFF off if i flash cyanogen or any other rom?
Tried running Captain_Throwbacks stock rooted 3.17 and got the same result at the same exact point while running rumrunner. Going to try Sharkie next. Any tips are greatly welcomed!
Don't have much to offer since I haven't used Rumrunner. Having said that, make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port and not 3.0, and that you're using a fairly stock Sense ROM. Also make sure that you're phone is recognized with both ADB & Fastboot. Seems most of the issues I've seen have to do with the connection. If it fails, try try again. You also might want to check out the Rumrunner thread in original development.
Just a thought, but have you looked at your bootloader and made sure that you're still S-on? Reason I ask is because on Moonshine the "WTF: What are you doing?" message actually meant that the process was successful. Not sure if Rumrunner is the same.

So while in process of s-off once I got to the part when you "fastboot oem rebootRUU" that went through. But right after trying to flash a zip im stuck looking at the blk HTC screen. I was given a "<Failed <remote: 99 unknown fail>". Now its just stuck.
I've been trying to figure out what happened but just have no where else to turn. Please lend a hand.
I think I already know the answer to this question, but what version is your firmware? Just for your knowledge, there hasn't been an RUU since ICS, or maybe the first release of JB. So, odds are, you flashed the wrong RUU.
But good news, you *might* not be bricked. Have you tried rebooting? This really your only option, anyway. Try to get into the bootloader. Flash a new recovery if the RUU has already wiped it, and flash a compatible rom.
Please also list your bootloader info.

It's not a full RUU in the normal sense. It's the one for Facepalm.
To the OP, did you gain SuperCID prior to running those commands? If not, then the process will fail. You should simply be able to hold the power button down & reboot your phone. Also, as stated above, list your device info so we can make sure you're using the right S-off exploit.

So I did get the phone into the bootloader. I was trying to do the rumrunner s-off but being I was so damn tired lastnight I ended up forgetting a step. I am currently unlocked and rooted. I also somehow deleted my backup like a idiot and wiped the os. So I'm stuck from this point where I need to go.
So where we stand as of now:
bootloader unlocked
rooted
twrp 2.6.3.0
firmware 3.17.651.4
hboot 2.09
radio 1.13.11.0830

Happens to all of us. Don't worry about wiping the OS. Look for Captain Throwback's stock rooted rom, and flash a custom kernel along with it, like the Dirty MAC kernel or Arc reactor. Doesn't matter which one...rumrunner just needs a custom kernel.

After you flash these, then reboot into Android, set your phone to stay awake during charge Settings-->Display and Buttons, and also set SuperSU to automatically grant root access (open the app, swipe right twice, and scroll down a little). This way, you don't have to touch your phone. If you touch it, the process will fail....even to unlock the phone to grant root access. And of course, turn on USB debugging in Developer Options.
After you do all of these, then run the exploit.

This is odd to me, because I ran rumrunner at least 3 times using just my stock ROM (no custom kernel or anything), and it worked fine every time. I guess the new version of rumrunner added some limitations to make it more generic.
whats bothering me is that even after i check the MD5, it keeps failing to install capt zip. think maybe i can just use adb to push the zip file? just not sure how to word the command right to get it to load

No, don't. If it fails, don't force it. Reflash TWRP 2.6.3 (not the kit kat version), and try to flash again.
@Captain_Throwback: Yes, I didn't remember needing a custom kernel when I used Dirty Racun, but rumrunner needs it now. Keep in mind that rumrunner isn't for this device exclusively. Maybe that's the purpose of the custom kernel.
i'd wager you're trying to flash files that aren't recovery flashable, then lying to the people who are trying to help you.
i got it running again using capt stock rooted rom. attempting rumrunners s-off again now that i got this part working.
Are you using a custom kernel?

now s-off and updated rumrunners hboot. now onto flashing roms finally.
Thank you all that helped me with my stupidness and not reading directions.
Last post. I can't say it enough that you must read read read when it comes to directions. If I would of followed directions as directed I would of never ran into the issues I did. It was a learning experience.
One thing for sure that I took from this experience is adb and directions. I've learned a lot in the last 24hrs alone.
I'd like to thank Capain_throwback and everyone in the irc for the help and you all here that assisted me.
