How can we update to the latest Sprint OTA on a stock rooted 4G LTE? For those of us in NYC, 4G LTE is pretty poor without the new radio update.
I wanted to know if you guys have a way of tuning off the s-on on the htc evo 4g lte using a windows os. i have tried plenty of methods but cant seem to get it right and always get a “99 unknown fail”
I installed linux on a spare laptop and used dirty raccun and got the s-off. Did you get s-off yet?
Ubuntu 12.04 CD, download ISO burn to CD and boot to it, when prompted select try Ubuntu out. Flas, take out CD and boot back to Windows.
Hello I have an evo 4g lte hboot 2.09
With s-off and super cid
Can you point me in the right direction on how to install other carrier roms on my device or if I even need to
Thanks
I have an Evo 4G LTE rooted with S-off. Using MeanBean 3.09 and have had good luck. Cyanogen 10.0 had some issues and testing 10.1. Question I have is do ROMS have to be for a specific phone or can ROMS from other models be used?
How did you get s-off ? Im trying to get s off but cant find a good method.
I used dirty racun which will put your phone back to 3.15
The phones as is my understanding are limited to a carrier ID you would have to s-off and run super cid which will remove the carrier lock
For my situation it was a combination of dirty racun and facepalm , if you have a mac with linux depending on your hboot dirty racun is what you’re looking for, if you have Windows facepalm is pretty quick and easy.
I found the facepalm method but I don’t quite understand it, can you explain to me how to do it?
facepalm works well with twrp recovery BUT you will need ask and fastboot on your computer, simply follow the instructions to the letter, there is a tutorial on xda.

I have super cid on my evo 4g lte and cannot seem to install other roms from different carriers and when I try installing the ruu for i get an error message
Hey check this out dudes! I had the latest jellybean with s-on and hboot 2.09. My phone was rooted and boatloader unlocked. I wanted s-off of course and my only option with hboot 2.09 was DirtyRacun, BUT! I have Vista 64 bit ughh, this is what I did: I follow the babyracun steps to the letter, but I couldn’t run RabiesShots because of my 64 bit os, instead at this point with Ruu.zip flashed and still with twrp recovery I ran facepalm and then when too bootloader and guess what I saw Dudes????? S-off and supercid 222222222! Hope this helps someone.
for anyone using facepalm if you get error 99 unknown fail just do about 4 full reboots and start over

Hi I purchased 2 Htc evo 4g lte online and was tld that they were unlocked they r on sprint service and i am currently with virgin mobile i wasnt counting on the extra expense of having them unlocked is there a way i vud do it myself?? Thanx
If you are having trouble with the ROM download GUI Flash ROM, downgrade TWRP to 2.3.1.0 and try again. Worked for me as I was running the latest TWRP, S-ON, HTC Unlocked and Rooted. After the downgrade of TWRP flash ROMs with GUI Flash, if you google it you will find a free version on XDA
I just bought the 4g lte and it was originally w/ sprint but I am w/ metro unfortynately, plz help me gwt ir metro ready!

ok so i sucessfully installed jelly bam on my phone in january and it was great other than my mic didnt work right so today i installed the stock rom i got off one of your forums here but i tried updating the software and everytime i reboot the phone i goes into twrp recovery and wont finish the install the rom works perfectly other than this issue
I ve got a 4g LTE unlocked bootloader TWRP 2.550 Hboot 2.09 SU and busybox installed S_off with Rum Runner I can not seem to flash roms thru TWRP or with GOO mngr or Flash image gui suscessfully but I can restore from Twrp my original Backup Sprint .What might I have wrong. Im doing file compression on my backup
If you are S-Off you should be good to go, don’t use Goo Manager, it might be that, just install ROMs manually by using TWRP or CWM.
Rum Runner works in Windows comand prompt for S-off
