[Q] regaw - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I've been trying regaw methode to root but havn't had much luck. I get the message "you see this window now because we are waiting for your EVO 4G LTE to reconnect to the computer after reboot". What went wrong. Is there a better way to root?

You could try zedomax's method founf here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577 but read through the thread to make sure it works with the base you are running meaning your firmware

HTC Dev Unlock
Requirements
HTC Drivers
ADB Tools Mini SDK
Setup
Install HTC Drivers if necessary
Extract ADB Tools anywhere, doesnt matter
Open ADB Tools and hold shift+right click, select open command window here
In phone settings, enable usb debugging and disable fasboot
Connect the phone to pc
Steps
In the command window type adb start-server
Next type adb reboot bootloader
Type fastboot devices to make sure you are connected
Type fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Right click and select mark, click and drag from the top arrows <<<< Identifier Token Start >>>> to the bottom arrows <<<<Identifier Token End >>>> and make sure not to highlight any empty spaces as this will confuse the website, right click and it will be saved to clipboard
Now go to HTC Dev and if you don't already have an account, sign uo for it
Go to unlock bootloader and select other device and accept the agreements
Skip the steps until you get the to token submit window and paste the token you copied earlier and submit.
Go to your email and download the unlock_bin code
Put the code in the ADB Tools folder
Type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
When the phone prompt comes up to unlock bootloader hit yes, now you are unlocked, re-enable usb debugging and disable fastboot
Type adb reboot bootloader
Type fastboot devices to make sure phone connected
Type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img
Type erase cache
Reboot phone and you will have unlock and recovery, all thats missing is to restart phone in bootloader and select recovery to flash a rom. Both meanrom and viper have built in kernel installers, should the phone get stuck booting just extract the boot.img from the rom and put it in adb, with phone in fastboot type fastboot flash boot boot.img

You just have to manually reboot bootloader and it will continue

Power button while holding volume down. Or, while running regaw, you may be able to just hold power for a minute at the appropriate times.

O.K. I've done the bootloader thing manualy and have gotten as far as "flashing recovery". the phone rebooted and it got as far as my phone starting up like I had just reset it. My bootloader say it's unlocked with S on. I don't think I'm rooted yet. What I'm trying to do is use my phone as a hot spot using wifi tether or something like it. Thats it. I've tried the unrooted software and it does'nt work.

So did it flash the recovery?

I'm not sure. How can I tell?

It should have said ok and something like write time 2.96s or something, connect adb and use adb reboot or hold power and when phone shuts of let go of power and hold power and volume down and select recovery from bootloader
So you don't want to flash another rom? Just flashing meanrom is less of a hassle then downloading the zip for superuser and busy box, flashing it in recovery and then installing a WiFi tether app

Twrp should of flashed. U should update to New twrp tho. The goo app makes it really easy to update your recovery

I got stuck on recovery but it did flash it. I think it the newest hboot 1.19 that's holding up the root step. All your doing is unlocking your phone for recovery.

Yeah. Just flash mean Rom so you don't have to fastboot a boot.img if you choose an aosp Rom you will have to.
