Here’s how to root HTC Evo 4G LTE!
This root method will give you full root and busybox to your HTC Evo 4G LTE.
If you have software version 1.22.651.3 or higher, you will need to go straight to unlocking bootloader and rooting instead!!!
This is for Windows.
For Mac, please see How to Root HTC Evo 4G LTE on Mac OSX!
For Linux, please see How to Root HTC Evo 4G LTE on Linux/Ubuntu!
Step 1. First, you will want to make sure USB debugging is checked ON under Settings->Developer options.
Step 2. Connect your Evo 4G LTE to your computer and make sure USB connection is set to “Charge only”.
Step 3. Make sure you have drivers installed for your Windows computer. Go into device manager and make sure you have “My HTC” or some kind of “ADB” driver.
If you have “Android 1.0” with exclamation mark, manually update the drivers using appropriate Windows drivers below:
Download Drivers for 32-bit Windows
Download Drivers for 64-bit Windows
Step 4. Once you have the correct drivers installed, rooting is easy as double-clicking on runme.bat.

Step 5. Your Evo 4G LTE will reboot about 3 times and will root.
Step 6. Once rebooted after rooting, verify you have “SuperSU” app and you can now run rooted apps like Android Wifi Tether.

hi i in joy playing with the rom downloads for the rooted evo
but would i like to know is there a way to get batter signal strength on the evo lte ???
Ok i have a problem I have rooted my phone but apparently i didnt back up the rom and when i turned my phone off and turned it back on it got stuck on the “HTC quietly brilliant” screen I’m completely lost from here. I have no way to get back in my phone . Please help how do i get passed this screen ?
Not sure how you did that? Was that even from just rooting? I am asking because you cannot end up in bootloop while rooting only from installing another ROM. If latter is the case, you can try installing a new ROM.
This same thing has happened to me, I tried unrooting it though to do update because I was starting to get alot of lagging and freezing. Any help with this because right now I’m out of a phone!!!
hey its not rooting my device htc evo 4g lte help

This will not work on newer software versions, try this other root method instead:
https://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-root/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/
That method does not work either
It works unless HTCDev.com servers are down, I don’t have control over that.
Can someone please help me in obtaining the runme.bat file? What am i doing wrong for this not to pull up? The runme file is the only one that comes up in the download
Thanks for your marvelous posting! I quite enjoyed reading it, you could be a
great author.I will remember to bookmark your blog and may come back very soon.
I want to encourage continue your great work, have a nice
day!
Hey Max!
Any word on a root for the 1.22.651 S-off?! I unfortunately updated to the new 2.13 firmware and can’t find a root that takes care of the S-off “feature” on Sprints new build.
Keep up the good work buddy!! You’re a rock star!!
im looking to get s-off yooa!a!
I am not having any luck. I currently have
HBoot 1.12.0000
Radio 1.02.12.0427
Hardware Version 0003
Software version 1.13.651.1 71ORD
In my control panel I don’t see ADB: My HTC I have Androud USB Devices: My HTC. I used the drivers I downloaded from you so its driver version 1.0.7.0.
When I run the one click root “runme.bat” I get this. Any suggestions? It was my understanding that based on my Hboot and software version this method should be the easiest and quickest.

Nevermind. It ended up bricking my phone. Had to do a factory reset followed by a software update once I was able to get it to work enough to get it into settings. Now my bootloader says Tampered at top. YAY. This worked really well for me.

🙁 please help me ive tried so hard
I took the OTA update on my HTC EVO 4G LTE, can I still root it the same as 1.22.651.3 or higher, because the hboot has changed from 1.19 to 2.09
Hi, this might be a dumb question, but will this work for a Boost Mobile EVO Design 4G? It is basically the same as the Sprint version of the HTC EVO Design 4G I have been told. Thank you.
Got it figured out, unlocked, rooted, tried custom rom – did not like, restored backup of original, still rooted and now I can use wifi tether.
Rooted w/no prob and have been for a while. Tried upgrade, but to no avail and won’t let me flash any new/diff ROMs. Also shows “Tampered” and “Locked” …..what am I missing?
NMV, read further and found that I needed 2 unlock bootloader…cookin w/crisco now, thanks.
I have an Sprint HTC EVO 4g LTE rooted and flashed to metropcs but I have not send or receive picture texts nor can I receive 4g signal any where in Atlanta. How can I trouble shoot and repair these problems. Please help I don’t wanna buy a five hundred dollar phone.
NEED HELP undoing this process on a mac. I need my phone completely stock to return to sprint but can’t run the RUU on a mac. Please help.
I have htc evo 4g lte and used this method to root. also installed clockwork mod. tried flashing stock rom included in file but now just get a black screen with a red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle. Need serious help.
hay max well you ever do a s-off face palm walk through for the evo lte ??????
I was trying to get back to stock after I had rooted my phone by doing a Factory Reset. Apparently I didn’t back up the ROM and when I turned my phone off and turned it back on it got stuck on the “HTC quietly brilliant” screen. I believe it erased everything from my phone including several ROMs that I had saved. I’m completely lost from here. I have no way to get back in my phone. Please help me.
Do you have twrp recovery installed if so you can download a rom from the website place it on your sd card and flash it. To get into recovery power down the phone then hold volume up and power button if it wont go into recovery do the same thing but change to volume down it will restart in bootloader the scroll down to recovery and press power button to select. If you don’t have twrp recovery or clockwork mod recovery then you have to do everything through fastboot.
Thank you Raul,
I had already figured it out. How do I get back to stock ROM if I did not back it up?
If you have no backup or could get from a friend you have place the phone in fastboot and relock bootloader and run the ruu for that phone. I would send you a copy but I sold my laptop.
Thank you again Raul,
Is the RUU supposed to install the stock ROM on my phone?
Yes. You can find the instructions here and the ruu. Or xda developers website.
Does anybody have a copy of the stock ROM for the HTC EVO 4G LTE? I deleted mine and now want to go back to stock. RUU is not working on my phone.
Relock your bootloader in fastboot then run the ruu.
Raul,
I am new at this. I have no idea how to do relock my bootloader. Besides, none of the ROMs that I have downloaded work. They will not reboot and get stuck.
You actually make it seem so easy together with your presentation however
I find this topic to be actually one thing which I believe I would by no means understand.
