Lets see if i can help. (Cranks handle on Monkey and rubs crystal ball). Monkey says to reboot phone, flash newest ruu from development, and take back to sprint.
Good luck and i am sure this will fix it!
Seriously, post a question with relevant info and i am sure someone here can recite back to you what you would find with a couple of google searches or reading the OP of the thread you got your tool from.
Later.

What part(s) arent working? what messages are you getting? what steps have you taken? It is difficult to fix the problem if we dont know what the problem is. Let me know and i will be happy to walk you through it
Have u set up Adb on your computer? All the temp root methods I have used require adb. If u have then i would suggest in a terminal moving to the directory you have it set up in and type "adb devices" and see if you get a serial #. If u don't know what Adb is then the unlocker has a great tutorial just Google it.

haha s-off allows you to protected parts of the phone to do things like flashing custom roms. But once you get s-off you can perm root. if you need help setting it up let me know, its pretty straight forward though
Thanks. ima try to set it up tomorrow. I'm spoiled, I'm used to the super easy iphone jail brake.

If you just root, nothing on your sd card will be touch, only if you unlock the bootloader will it wipe your data, want me to upload the htc driver file for you?
http://d-h.st/KA4
Here, if that has the same damage issue, then you need to have your system checked or possibly your usb cable as well.
Mr. nightmare, glad to see you, ok I want a full root on my phone, maybe oneday get custom ROMS and all that happy stuff, But inorder to FULL ROOT dont I hae to unlock my bootloader? and how can you DL it for me kind sir?

Yes you have to unlock your bootloader, before unlocking just transfer all your files on your internal sd card to the external sd card, whatever apps you have installed will be lost, so be prepared to re-install them.
I already uploaded the exe file, if that one doesn't work, then your pc or usb cable/port has a problem.
Lol at Mr. Nightmare, thanks but Dark is fine, I'm pretty sure I'm still a kid to you.
ya its still saying REPAIR or REMOVE, dont get it....Well I will hae to try it on my other CPU it should work on it, but Nightmare, If I use hasoon2000 kit in rooting my phone, will it delete my data on my SD card?
i guess my biggest concern is before ROOTING where do I put all my STUFF?

Wait, it's saying repair or remove? Then it's already installed dude! Lol wtf, a whole big fuss over nothing. Anyways, rooting via hasoon's tool doesn't touch your data, rooting in general doesn't touch your data, only when you unlock your bootloader does it delete your data, all that you want to save, transfer it to your removable sd card, it doesn't touch that.
haha im 28 and im so phone illiterate, well DARK Mostly everything on my phone can be deleted I wouldnt care, just need my Phone numbers and ringtones, so i just move my NUMBERS to SD card? then unlock bootloader... then move on with hasoons kit?

Yeah, just create a backup in the phonebook app and store it on your external sd, then yeah pretty much, go for it, don't forget to turn on USB debugging in develop options in settings or hasoons tool won't detect your device.

Why don't you just use hasoon's tool? It has all the files and commands pre-written.
i am using it, (not sure if Im using it right but, when I click submit token ID it pops up to HTCdev website to start on Step 8, trust me if u were down the road from me you would be making some money to root my phone, but when im in his kit and I Hit submit token it wont do anything till i click on firefox tab then it takes me to HTCdev site so yeah "duh duh duh duuh SUPER NOOB" hahaha
Follow this all the way until step 14.
http://thesuperusersguide.weebly.com/hasoon2000s-toolkit-method.html
This will guide you to do it. Even though it is for the One X, it is the exact same procedure.
When you get to step 14, run the perm root command and follow what the screen on your computer tells you.

You followed this.....
Open "ZipSigner 2" on your tablet.
Press the "Input" button and browse /sdcard/VpnFaker_unsign.apk
Press the "Output" button and save it as /sdcard/VpnFaker.apk
Key/mode select "platform"
Press "Sign the file"
Not the picture right?? That confused me when I was doing it (terrible screenshot) LOL
I used V11 and didn’t do anything for VpnFaker.apk.
It was all automatic (almost). Except terminal emulator.
Did you install this to tablet?
When you start script, terminal emulator must show up (on the tablet) and type 2lines by instruction (ignore errors).
Then it’ll work.
Well I've also tried, I think, everything; using different versions of the automated script, doing the process manually, resigning VpnFaker.apk, yet still, no success. I have a Turkish tablet, but had changed it to US using condi's tool before rooting it on HC. Any thoughts?

I have follow your step but I wonder where I have to put a new VpnFaker.apk ? , I mean in bin4ry there is 2 .rar files and one include VpnFaler.apk, so am I have to extract it and replace old VpnFaker.apk with the one I am resign it ? or what I have to do with the new VpnFaker.apk I have resign it ?
@stifilz
I have follow your step in the FAQ thread and also do a VpnFaker.apk thing, and it comes out like it shown in the attached images
still no superuser but it have terminal emulator.
can should I do now ? any ideas ?
thanks
I am lost it should work. Grrr.
I fell your fustration, I have been there.
All I can suggest is factory reset. Then resign vpnfaker then try again. I cant remember exactly how I did it..... but now it works first time every time

OK Try this.
Do the factory reset and install terminal emulator only (forget the VpnFaker.apk).
Command prompt – type “adb devices”, device number should come up. Leave it open.
If it doesn’t, need to install correct adb driver.
Then run the script and follow instruction. Need to reboot few times till terminal emulator show up (on the tablet) and type 2lines by the instruction (ignore the errors).
Then it’ll work.

some fellas buy the phone without looking at XDA (THATS ME IN NOV 12) and rushes here on XDA expecting ONE CLICK ROOT solution which is not available as yet. And then gets frustrated and then posts thread like this without even trying on their own. After some spoon-feeding by others, they root it.

I will give a hint. This rooting needs some good flashing experience beforehand.
Forget Rooting. Just try flashing various compatible KDZ roms on your phone for a day or two with offline fix method for at least do it 5/8 times. Once you are familiar with flashing the KDZ (rom), then rooting will be very easy after that.
It has been over a year since I got this phone. Normally, I rooted the day I received a new phone. But I didn't think that I had any reason to do so this time until I bought a Chromebook. Now I really need to tether.
Can someone show me where to start? It seems that most the threads I have looked at are pretty old and just spent a couple of hours going no where.
Current software is 4.4.2.
Thanks.

Hi there. First thing is making sure you have all the proper drivers installed and HTC Sync uninstalled.
I then installed the app to temp root and ran Firewater. The terminal commands are on the firewater site....if you need more detail or even a step by step, I'm happy to help and write something up. I just can't tonight as I have an obligation to attend to.
Let me know how you make out and if you need additional assistance I'll write something up tomorrow around this time.

Thanks for the reply. I have the instructions for Weaksauce and Firewater, but I don't want to make any mistakes here.
Where can I find the latest HTC DNA drivers without installing the HTC Sync program?
Where can I find the latest ADB download?
It looks like these are the last things I need to find before continuing.
I'm at work, but this evening I'll either find you a link or upload them to my dropbox. Hang in there...I'll help ya out lol...soon as you have everything, its literally like a 5 min process.

Haven't forgotten ya...I'm just getting home. Have a few things to attend to.
You can get the HTC drivers from this post right here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000896
Ok, download the SDK from here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=sk
Make sure USB debugging is turned on. Install the attached weaksauce apk for temp root. You can verify you're rooted by downloading superSU and root checker from the play store.
Unpack the SDK and you'll want to put the firewater file in the folder titled : adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321
Open a terminal from this folder by holding down shift and right clicking the folder, "open command window here"
Follow the commands given on the firewater site.
Profit.
Once S-off and unlocked go to the TWRP thread in original development and download a recovery. Flash that via fastboot.
Then flash super user zip for root...again, search that out. I'm running out of time so I can't right now...lol
This is all I did. Collect all your files first. Make sure your drivers are good to go before starting. Install the drivers, reboot the pc and plug the phone into the usb. Likely a driver install thingy will pop up with like 5 little circles...let it finish before you begin.
Good luck bro...I'll check in tomorrow or later tonight to see how you made out.

Ok, download the SDK from here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=sk
Make sure USB debugging is turned on. Install the attached weaksauce apk for temp root. You can verify you're rooted by downloading superSU and root checker from the play store.
Unpack the SDK and you'll want to put the firewater file in the folder titled : adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321
Open a terminal from this folder by holding down shift and right clicking the folder, "open command window here"
Follow the commands given on the firewater site.
Profit.
Once S-off and unlocked go to the TWRP thread in original development and download a recovery. Flash that via fastboot.
Then flash super user zip for root...again, search that out. I'm running out of time so I can't right now...lol
This is all I did. Collect all your files first. Make sure your drivers are good to go before starting. Install the drivers, reboot the pc and plug the phone into the usb. Likely a driver install thingy will pop up with like 5 little circles...let it finish before you begin.
Good luck bro...I'll check in tomorrow or later tonight to see how you made out.

Well, didn't work for me. I am guessing I might have tried to root months ago. I drank a lot back then. When I ran WeakSauce, it said I was already rooted and did nothing. Then I ran Root Check, and it said I wasn't rooted. But I moved on through the steps. But when I got to the last step in FireWater, it said I need to run as root.
I noticed I had SuperSU app installed. So I uninstalled that, uninstalled WeakSauce, re-installed both and started over, but got the same results.
Not sure where to go from here. I almost feel like I should just do a Factory Reset and start over, but that could really screw things up too.
Man, sure am sorry to hear that..maybe a full RUU would fix you up. Then start over...I'm not sure. Maybe someone with more in depth knowledge needs to chime in here..
bummer.....

You know, now that I think about it, I did have full root before, but I wasn't thinking one night and got an OTA update that made me loose root. Maybe that is why I can't use weaksauce. I decided to start in my bootloader. Attached is a screen shot. Tried to go into recovery, but that failed. Just came up with a picture of a battery or something. Had to hold the power button down for 10 seconds just to boot normally.
Does the screen shot tell you anything? It tells me, I think, that the phone is S-off'ed and unlocked. but firewater complained about not being rooted. I am confused.

Hey, your phone is already unlocked! So just flash supersu thorough Fastboot to get root.

As said right above me....you're all set to go. Use fast boot to push a recovery and then flash super su zip. If you need the zip I can attach it later.

Funny. There have been other threads where people are asking how to root DNA 4.4.2. They have been referring them to this thread So I guess I am not SO dumb.
Anyhow, as I remember, there are a couple of ways to flash. 1) from the PC using ADB and from the phone using an IMG file right? What is the easiest way to flash the Recover file? Which version of ClockWorkMod is going to be compatible with 4.4.2 and where would I find the download? Also, one last question, which SuperSU version is going to be compatible and where is the best download?
