Ok so I've been tampering a little with my hotspot.....turns out it doesn't work. The phone's not rooted so I was trying to use it legitimately. Well now, since there's hotspot tethering with rooted access, I was wondering what preparations were needed to gain root access.
Phone's hardware:
hboot: 2.28
Android Version: 4.0.3
Software #: 4.05.605.14710RD
I previously updated it a looong time ago when ICS came out in 2012. so I don't know much about how the rooting process has changed for the resound, or if there is any root access with ICS.
Anything at this point helps, I wasted 30 dollars just to find out it doesn't work so... Even if a factory reset would do the trick, I would still like to know about how to root it on ICS.

1. Unlock the bootloader via HTC dev. htcdev.com
2. Flash a recovery, TWRP, CWM, PhilZ. Whatever your choice may be
3. Find a root zip from online, probably from Chainfire.
4. Flash it in recovery.
If you need a step by step guide I can provide that either through this post or through PM

It's a zip which contains the files for root.. TWRP if I'm right.. Will actually ask you if you would like to root before you reboot from it the first time..

Yes, you can't acquire root access through just flashing a recovery.. I'm trying to find the zip you can flash.. if it's still out there. I'm not sure.

+1. I've had to do the manual way so many times... I feel like there will be many more questions doing a one step method, rather than the ADB method, as one step doesn't really give you a detailed description on whats wrong.
Most of the mistakes are from not reading the instructions.
This is just out and the instructions for Thunderbolt have not
been posted yet. There are some general instructions that are
being used today. With one mistake I made it still only took five

Months ago I used HTCDev to unlock and flashed TWRP recovery and su-2.3.6.3.zip from this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
I was underwhelmed with the MIUI ROM and got curious about Sprint's ICS update, so I relocked the bootloader and ran the 2.17 RUU.exe, then updated to 2.89 OTA. After that I could use my original HTCDev Unlock_code.bin to unlock the bootloader, but su-2.3.6.3 would not give me proper root access (verified with Root Checker app). Thankfully downloading Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and flashing it through recovery worked.
I now have root with the stock Sprint ICS. Why? Because I wanted to keep the 3D and Wimax functionality (i know, i know) while still being able to run TiBackup to freeze the goddamned pre-installed apps that everyone hates. I'm sure this is stated elsewhere in the forums, but I read your post before I resolved my issue so I thought I'd come back and reply just in case you or anyone else were still grappling with it.

Thanks a lot, that really helped me to root a brand new stok rom on the Sprint evo 3d!
Just for future reference when you download a super user zip, notice the letters next to superuser efghi those letters represent the past android os's (e)clair, (f)royo, (g)ingerbread, (h)oneycomb, and (I)cecream sandwhich. Always look for that if you plan to root a stock Rom.
So, I have my evo currently running Android 4.1.1 with Software version 3.15.651.16 710RD
I tried using the methods given on unlimited.io. I even used a livecd for Ubuntu (but couldn't do anything in terminal). However, using everything in windows worked, minus the rabiesshot.exe file.
I somehow managed to unlock my bootloader and flash TWRP, but can't do anything else, ie; Roms will flash but never boot.
Is there maybe something I overlooked?
I'm not new to android, just HTC devices.
Take a look at the link below. I think it will shed some light on your issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256478
Most likely your issue is caused by the fact that you're S-on. On Hboot's 1.15 & newer you have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM, otherwise it won't boot. Many Sense ROM's include a S-on kernel installer to facilitate ROM flashing. Once you've obtained S-off, this isn't an issue.
Also, instead of Dirty Racun, give Facepalm a try-it's Windows friendly.

I tried using Facepalm, but I don't have superCID so I can't go through the rest of the process, I tried using the moonshine application as well but that didn't work either.
I feel like I've either completely overlooked something, or just giving it all way too much thought
Moonshine won't work unless you're on Hboot 2.09/baseband 1.12.11.1210. You have to use Facepalm or Dirty Racun otherwise. I personally have never used Facepalm, but I hear it's quick and easy. Perhaps head over to the Facepalm thread for more help. I think they also have IRC, too.

If you're bone-stock, sure, why not? Keep in mind your bootloader has to be unlocked, which may be the reason you're having issues with Facepalm to begin with. You cannot root if you can't unlock your bootloader.

Remember the link from above that I shared? The issue is that you're S-on and you have to install the kernel separately from the ROM. Most Sense ROM's have an S-on kernel installer to facilitate ROM flashing. Try a ROM like MeanBean-just read the installation instructions so you don't have any issues getting it installed (you basically flash it twice instead of once. The first flash installs the ROM itself, and the second flash installs the kernel). Obviously once you're S-off this won't be an issue.
Also, you might hit up Bigdaddy619. I know that he recently helped somebody get S-off using Facepalm and I'm sure he can help you, too

Hello to all.
I have not rooted a phone in quite a while, since the original Evo. Here's the rundown of what I've been experiencing lately:
I unlocked the bootloader using the HTC dev method, it went smooth. To obtain s-off (I was on the latest OTA of 3.17.651.5), I attempted rumrunner. Everything went fine until I got an error with rumrunner. I then tried the windroid toolkit, flashed TWRP (v2.7.1.0) which was a success. When I flashed superuser from windroid, it rebooted me to recovery to flash the zip file "superuser.zip", but it did nothing. I looked on this forum and found a supersu zip file. I tried flashing a couple versions of the supersu (1.25, 2.01) but no luck. For every one I attempted to flash, I would get the message that said successful but no s-off. After confirming the flash, it would say "flashing file 1 of 1", but then switch to saying "flashing file 1 of 0". I ended up flashing a rom (CM11-20131217), which put the phone into a bootloop (I got this resolved by downgrading to TWRP 2.6.3.0, flashing the kernel for the CM11, then flashing the rom, which of course still kept me S-on.)
So basically, I have an unlocked bootloader, with TWRP 2.6.3.0 as a recovery, on CM11-20131217 build, yet I'm still S-on. Is there a certain version of supersu or superuser that I should be flashing? How can I achieve S-off?
Additional information that may help:

You have to run Rumrunner again. But flash stock rooted before you do (I don't know if it'll work while on CM).
Thanks for the quick reply. I will give that a shot, hope it does work. Is there a certain version of that I should flash before running rumrunner again?

Okay, thanks!
After getting some time here and there, I attempted to flash a few stock rooted roms with no luck. I'm not sure if it's because of the rom that I am currently on. not s-off or what. A lot of the stock root roms I do find have a requirement that you must be s-off to flash. I even tried running RUU's (4.13.651.4 and 3.17.651.4) for specific roms, but they gave me errors and would not continue each time. I remember when rooting and gaining s-off was much simpler than this lol. I don't even know if it is worth continuing to keep trying.
Check the link below for a ROM that is S-on friendly. Make sure you follow the directions in the thread to get it installed. Once you've done this you can go for S-off, at which time you should be able to flash whatever ROM you'd like.

Thanks for that! It worked with meanbean. I ran rumrunner again and it gave me an error, saying something about an update on rumrunner.us. I gave firewater a shot, and after it said "the first bottle is open...chugging", the screen stays blank for a while and firewater instructs me to try again and ends the process. From what I read last night around my searches, I'm supposed to get a notification on the evo asking for superuser permission but that didn't happen. I'm guessing this is due to the wrong supersu being flashed.
Glad I got a little further, I'm just going to play around with it until something gives and I am s-off
There's a setting in the su app that will let you grant su access to all apps automatically and without a prompt. That should get rid of that problem.
I wouldn't go with those settings for any other purpose though, obviously.

I went into the SuperSU app and selected where the default access was set to grant. I ran firewater again with the normal method and weaksauce method with no luck, it's still doing the same thing. USB debugging is on, and the drivers are installed correctly as well.

Weaksauce is an exploit for Verizon phones that can't be unlocked with HTC Dev so it's pointless to try it on the EVO LTE.

Also, while you need htc sync manager to unlock your boot loader, it usually really screws with any other adb tools, so uninstall that too.

This. Also make sure you're using USB 2.0 ports, as 3.0 ports can cause connectivity issues.

First thing is that in order to run any RUU device boot loader must be 're-locked to do this enter into fastboot plug in to pc and within your Android unlocker folder that u use to unlock your device hold shift and right click anywhere in the folder to open command window then type : fastboot oem lock . This will lock the bootloader, now you will be able to run RUU. Just keep in mind that you may only go up Android versions levels ,, running RUU will stabilize your device and fixes the sectors which u may have damaged during the moding in the RAM .. Now for obtaining S-OFF the only option for you (since u upgraded) is to use DirtyRacun witch uses Ubuntu Live CD method and it does work. ***Now, if you just want unlocked bootloader with SU permission so u can flash rooms (not firmware or radio) and don't care about S-OFF then let me know to show you the options available at this time .. I repeat *you may only go up in android versions , in case that is necessary to go down then you need to deal with the CID. By switching and modifying the CID only then you are allowed to downgrade the Android Build versions
Dirty Racun isn't the only option for S-off
He's already unlocked his bootloader and has root. He's on the latest firmware version for the old partition layout: it's well-documented that methods like Rumrunner work.
OP, here's the thread for Rumrunner. I suggest giving it a read:thumbup:

Thanks, I will look at that now. I tried disabling the antivirus as stated above and that didn't work either, so maybe this thread will give more detail to help me gain S-off.

Sorry for the late reply. Correct, I'm using mean bean. I'm using wifi while doing all of this, my service provider is AT&T.

Excuse my ignorance but but how did you get sprints HTC evo 4g LTE codename jewel to work on at&t. I didn't know you could do that. (hint: are you sure you have the right phone? )
Anyways. As long as its an HTC it should be fine right? The problem would be the same.

Oh, I'm with Sprint, I was referring to using the wifi from my AT&T router. Sorry for the confusion lol.
I installed a custom recovery (twrp) and rebooted. And then rebooted back to recovery to flash the supersu zip, and then rebooted. I then saw I was supposed to use "su insmod wp_mod.ko" to make the root stick and I tried doing it on terminal emulator on my phone but I didn't work. I also tried running the command on my computer but it said "su" is not a command. So then I verified root, uninstalled some system apps to test out, rebooted, and the system apps were back, so therefore root didn't stick. And now that I tried to remove root and completely reset my device and install the stock RUU, it fails and gives me an error in fast boot that says "security fail ruu".
Can anyone help either help me fully root. Or revert to stock again?

i think because u must first relock the bootloader, there is a guide to do that search it

The system apps, IIRC, are system protected. So even having perm root deleting them would have the same effect as having temporary root... I recommend you to flash this kernel mod and try removing system apps...

Okay, that's the file I had before but it wasn't in a flashable zip format so that will be handy!
So I need to:
1. Reflash TWRP Recovery in fast boot
2. Reboot back to recovery
3. Flash supersu.zip and then the wp_mod.no zip as well
And then I'll be good to go?

EDIT: The kernel mod disables write protection, you can do more with s-off than you think. Is this your first time rooting?

No problem! Do we have S-Off yet? I remember seeing a guy saying 'be thankful we have root and s-Off for this phone" somewhere in the HTC 610 forum.

We've got a system 'S-off' so we can edit the /system in the stock rom, basically that link I sent you is 'S-off', but real S-off is turning of the hardware system protection allowing access to the whole emmc (i.e. it shows S-off in the bootloader), sadly the real s-off we don't have.

So basically S-Off is only useful for ROM development and system write? Sorry, I haven't had an HTC in like 7 years.

If you check out my guides you'll see that all of them involve flashing through TWRP because I had S-on, but if you disable system protection you don't need to flash anything and you can for example, use the Xposed write to /system/ installation mode or just install something like AdAway which needs access to the hosts file inside the /system/. S-off is not only useful for ROM development, but for speeding up certain things. But don't worry, you've acquired software s-off with that mod and it does even work/stay when flashing the a custom rom.
We do have full s-off. Sunshine s-off is compatible with the desire 610 unless something has changed. It just costs money.
You have not acquired any s-off with that mod, and they are two completely different things. That mod removes system write protection, which is important, yes, but is nowhere near as powerful as s-off. With s-off, you can flash new radios, sim unlock (supercid) your phone, etc. It's not something to mess around with though, unless you know what you're doing, as you can permanently brick your device with it into an unrepairable state (unless you have jtag).

Was it made for the Desire 816? I noticed using files for the 816 is fully compatible with the 610. And how much does it cost?

It was made for a ton of htc devices and works on pretty much all of them. Not any specific one device. It's an apk that you sideload and run, and it will tell you if it will still work or not. Also, updated my post while you were replying. And I believe it is $25. But you pay after it tells you if it'll work or not.

Oh that's awesome. Do I really need S-Off ? Like it's been so long since I've used an HTC that I forget what it's used for [emoji1]
Sent from my HTC Desire 610 using Tapatalk
Also, I downloaded Sunshine, and it failed to run the test because I installed Xposed. It says to remove xposed. Do I just remove it by uninstalling it in the system apps uninstaller? Sorry for all the questions, but thanks for a the help!
Edit:
I found to uninstall xposed in the xposed menu.

Sorry, at work. You don't really need it unless you're planning to change radios or need sim unlocked and can't use a code.

It's all good. Can it be used to reuse a SIM? Because I have a consumer cellular SIM in it now that my mom used before she gave the phone to me, so would it make the SIM usable?

What'd u mean the "real s-off"? I thought that's precisely what sunshine offers for $25?

Whole emmc access + it shows s-off in the bootloader, that's what I meant.

So if I follow (and I am trying to find more info elsewhere) are you saying this phone has additional locks at the hardware level that sunshine can't make accessible? I thought you could make it say s-off As well as remove the "tampered" status and the red text on boot? And even with all that I still thought $25 was a little high for a phone with so few development options.
