You could use KFHDX toolkit to reenable updates and then upgrade to a higher version. but keep in mind there is no way to rollback on your own currently

I am attempting to root my SPrint HTC EVO 4g LTE with software version 1.13.651.1 710RD. my hardware version is 0003.
Ok, my phone is currently normal. Normal meaning no Root, no S-OFF, no nothing. its completely factory. I am trying to root it and am stuck because i have questions, and i have scoured this site and the internet and can not find my answers ANYWHERE. Here are my problems...
I am trying to root my device with the one-click-root that i found on this site. Before rooting, it tells me to back up my device with Titanium or another method. However... i cannot use Titanium unless my phoone is ROOTED so how is this possible?? How can i possibly back up my phone when im not even rooted yet?
Also, it says to clear my google wallet settings. When i go to google wallet, it says this app is not yet supported on my service or device... how do i clear my google wallet settings if i cant even access them? Ive looked on other sites telling me to change my phone into thinking its another device but it all requires a ROOT!!
Please help, ive been so frustrated that i want to just chuck my phone at the wall.
I managed to install all the drivers required to connect my phone and my computer.
All im asking is how do i back up my phone without a root and how do i clear my google wallet settings without a root?
1) I think Titanium Backup actually does allow for backing up some stuff without root access now. Otherwise just bite the bullet and start fresh. You only have to start fresh once. After that you can backup your apps with Titanium Backup for future events.
2) If you've never setup Google Wallet than you have nothing to clear. You'll be fine.

If GWallet says unsupported and you haven't opened it ever then don't worry about it. There's some new feature with TBackup that let's you backup apps without root. I haven't tried it and idk if it's just with the pro version. If you don't care about backing up anything and can reinstall all your apps later then don't worry about it. You might lose texts that you have sent tho.

So, currently I am running Stock with root injected and the bootloader is unlocked, and the only real tweak i have going with the device is Google Wallet. I'm at work and suddenly my phone starts asking me to preform an OTA update...I went a head an deferred the update for a few days to determine the best way to go through with this.
1)I assume this is going to break my root when i do it and it will relock my bootloader, am i correct about this?
2)If it does, then Google Wallet will stop working also, right?
3) If it will do the above, how can i put a stop to this OTA
4) If its not possible to stop this update and i will loose all my features, do i need to go a head and de-activate google wallet on my device?
5) has anyone with a rooted device gone through with this update yet, i know it just popped up in the last hour or so, but i am looking for any advice i can get because ideally i want to keep my root, unlocked bootloader and GWallet working.
My update failed
I'm rooted running stock with a few little tweaks (nothing I can't live without). The initial update failed. I saved root using Voodoo, unrooted, and ran the update again. It failed the second time. I'm not inclined to go to much more trouble until I find out if the update is worth it and if I can maintain root... I'm not willing to give that up just yet
Definitely do not accept the update, even if it asks you every 5 mins
There has already been a reported brick and I know it has a new boot loader in it. So its safe to assume that Google wallet will not work lol. The best course of action is to wait for a beast dev to find a way to help.

Hi Guys,
i just got my HDX (7" - Thor) this week and was trying to get the Thor GAPPS ROM by Cpasjuste to work. Having found nothing specific for FireOS version 13.3.2.1 i went ahead and tried my luck with the "old" version of the ROM (thor-gapps-13.3.0.0-v2.zip).
Unfortunately i couldn't get it to work and am back to factory defaults. Which is good, since it's not a brick. So now i'm trying to play it safe and wait for the developer's magic to happen
i'm eager to play around with the device, but don't want to risk losing my chances of running a custom ROM in the future. i already own the first Kindle Fire and wouldn't want to miss the near stock Android on that.
So, finally, my question:
If i use the HDX Toolkit to root and disable OTA updates, i assume it will be safe to use the device until the bootloader gets unlocked or some other magic happens. Am i correct with this assumption?
Edit1 [2014-07-09 - 21:21]: sorry for the soonish edit, but i just prepared the device in case someone confirms, that it is more or less safe to use it with OTA disabled.
Upon disabling OTA, i get a few rows of "killed" messages in the HDX toolkit. When i first disabled OTA i saw that some services were being disabled or uninstalled. Is "killed" a confirmation that the components are already killed? i have already factory resetted, as i cannot find a way to do a full wipe. The result is the same.
Thanks in advance.
umm

Never factory reset stock slot if you have run the OTA blocker the utility also has a eNAble option for the OTA blocker always uninstall xposed framework and modules before factory reset also .. Always returning the unit to as close to factory as you can before doing a factory reset in factory recovery. Otherwise you risk breaking your device.. If you look around you will find ways to do a manual update to a slightly newer firmware just not the newest and your ROMs will work.

Thanks. i will look for the update method you mentioned. i might have already read it on Friday, but didn't think it would apply to my version.
i have removed everything related to modding before factory resetting from the FireOS settings. At that point, there was only safestrap left, which i uninstalled.
If i decided to stay on FireOS after all, until a better method comes up, is there a way for me to check, if the OTA blocker is actually working?
lol

i got the Thor GAPPS working by now, so i'll try using that for now.
Hi forum,
I wanted to upgrade my note to lollipop, and since my phone was rooted I decided it was a good time to factory reset and start fresh. Before this, however, I had Lucky Patcher's modded play store installed and even after a full factory reset initiated on the phone, the modded play store is still installed. What is the way to get the normal play store back on my phone? Also my phone will not allow me to check for software updates for another day since I rebooted the phone while the update was downloading. All help is greatly appreciated!

You are out of luck here. No help with anything to do with lucky patcher is found here. It is banned on the site.
Only advise I will give is to flash a factory rom to your device and stay away from lucky patcher.
I've searched and searched and the only answer I've found was to disable system update service in Google Play Services which I did some time ago, but today I had to restore my wife's phone because it had downloaded and was attempting to install an update. Though I wouldn't mind an update per say I do not want to have to re-root and reinstall TWRP assuming it's even possible with the update so I'd soon not have them. Can someone please tell me how to stop this situation until I decide I actually want to update? Also any clues on how to actually update without the pain would be nice too. Thanks.
I've made a guide for this.
