While this process shouldn’t be too risky, bricks can happen. None of us will be accountable. If you are worried, don’t do it.
This is a pretty simple method, however, you will need to have a working adb and fastboot environment. This method will work on any operating system that supports adb and fastboot. You should understand how to use a terminal window in your O/S. If you don’t understand adb and fastboot, you probably don’t need S-off.
Lastly, the work herein should not be stolen, repackaged, one clicked, bat’d, etc. soffbin3 is not GPL and may not be reused, integrated into other work, reposted, or redistributed without our permission.
For this to work, you must be rooted and have superCID (unlock/custom recovery is optional), see the threads below for help and information regarding obtaining superCID, unlock, root, etc. Note these threads are provided for convenience only. Please look for support for them in each respective thread if you need it, do NOT clutter this thread with support requests regarding obtaining superCID and/or root! If you try this process without superCID, it will not work, and you may have issues!:
SuperCID for HTC Evo 4G LTE:
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20
1)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
2)
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
(wait for black HTC Screen)
3)
Code:
fastboot flash zip PJ7510000-EvoLTE.zip
After a while, You should see the following error “FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)”
7) Immediately issue the following command:
Code:
fastboot boot EvoLTE-rescue.img
(this is fastboot boot, NOT fastboot flash!)
8) Allow device to boot (may not fully boot on some custom roms)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
9) You should see what you are looking for!

Took me all of 2 minutes to get s-off.
Extra info: This works on 3.16 firmware and subsequently 3.15 as well.

Probably worked on 3.16 for you as you already had supercid, I'm guessing the recent 3.16 update prevents changing the CID.
I dont think so because we've never used CID on this phone before. Only way to find out is to test.
Thanks for bringing this to the evo lte! I have windows 8 so this is gonna make it much easier compared to dirtyracun, thanks!
Thread cleaned. Going forward let's see about keeping it respectful in here.

Yeah, I wasn't bricked. After waiting for some time for my phone to reboot after running FacePalm I unplugged the USB and held the power button and it booted right up. Rebooted the bootloader and verified that I was s-off. Then I ran into the activation problem. Just flashed MeanBean and ran through the activation, now all is good. Your work on this is much appreciated.

So on step 12 of the website it says to type the below:

"On your phone you will now see the disclaimer. Please read this carefully as this action may void your warranty"
However, I see no disclaimer appear on my phone. It stays on the fastloader hboot screen.
What's going on? Do I have to be not in the recovery fastloader screen and do that command when the normal os is showing? Or what?
Thanks if you can help.
Locate and flash the latest stock Ruu (or current one installed) from football or Mr.esp's thread to clear the issue. You should id your current Rom/radio version in android settings (about phone ) first... Ie. 2.08.651.3 vs 2.17.651.5 and phone codename is "shooter" not shooteru .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19089387
Then retry the unlock & it should work. Check development sticky thread.for link & instructions. If you look at jtniggles hboot unlock/flash thread it will mention this issue.
If your hboot 1.50 you may have issues with specific recoveries not loading. I'd recommend you grab Cwm touch 5.0.8.1 and a more current Su 3.0 file to flash. I have some examples of flashing these & other stuff after unlocking in my recovery issues thread (see signature). Htcevohacks.com has a good how to video also.

Saw you posted a separate RUU question, so hopefully you'll get a response there, but just to try and help a bit...
There is an RUU .exe Instructions Doc in the Sticky Thread that may help you.
Edit: its 1/2 way down my useful thread links post (in my signature).
- you should indicate in your questions what your phone setup is so people can better help you: Hboot version, Firmware/Radio version, HTC Unlocked/Locked/not rooted, S-ON vs S-Off, Custom Recovery you use, filenames/thread links you're using, etc if they apply to your situation.
did you enable "usb Debugging" under settings, applications?
Did you DL the RUU.exe or RUU PG86IMG.zip ?
What he said you need to run latest RUU I have walked a bunch of folks through that .... Worked everytime for them...

Did you get a new token file for your replacement phone?
I would submit the file you capture from your phone and get a new token again just in case something went wrong the first time.
I "re unlocked" my phone after 1.58 using the same binary file I had from when I previously unlocked it.

Ok, the fact that is says sending with 0KB would seem to me that it is not actually reading the darn .bin file.
Now this might seem stupid, but we are shooting totally in the dark here.
First, I have my folder that has adb and all the other files in the root of the hard drive. It is called rootevo, just to keep the folder name short. While it usually should not matter, I knew we would be running adb from a command box, and that can sometimes cause issues with folder and file names longer than 8 characters.
If the phone is booted, plug it in and you should be able to type "adb reboot bootloader" and the phone should reboot to the bootloader screen. If this works, I would try and do the unlock process again. Make sure you are typing in the name exactly as it is named in the folder.
The other option would be to boot straight to bootloader after a battery pull. Again, not sure why it would matter, but you have a strange one here, so the fix could end up being equally strange.
Good luck! :laugh:

what is the solution of this error.???
current state: unrooted, s-on, relocked
I successfully unlocked my phone, installed TWRP and attempted to flash a new ROM. Some how I messed up by wiping out system file without backup, and I failed to flash a new ROM either.
So I flashed my phone with RUU latest version (hboot 1.19, radio 1.12.) Now on the bootloader screen it says RELOCKED on top.
When I tried to unlock (normal HTC Dev method) the terminal gave "unlock token checked successfully OKAY", and the unlock confirmation screen showed up normally.
But after rebooting, it turns out my phone is still "RELOCKED." Is there any reason why it doesn't work? And how to reunlock it successfully?
Did you submit the unlock token to htc website so that you can be given the unlock_code.bin file to flash?

You could try downgrading to hboot 1.12 to get s-off...then it won't matter if you're unlocked or not. The process is still pretty new and not for the faint of heart (yet), but seems to be verified working. Check the downgrade sticky thread in the original dev forum for more details.

I believe downgrading method requires an unlocked phone, since it needs twrp for adb commands?
Yes it does, I didn't even remember that lol. I just didn't mention it because right now the overall process is rough
I think the unlock process modified the boot section, and looks like mine is a bit messed up. If so, would 'fastboot flash boot <bootfile>' work? (I don't know where to find it yet, just an another thought.)

TWRP now loads in recovery and loads RegawMOD_Rooter.zip
I now have root! (Strange that it didn't wipe out the phone but root is verified!)
I purchased a EVO 4G LTE for my sister a little while back and recently she had her boyfriend attempt to root it for her, and since I'm here it obviously didn't go over all too well. All he said he did was follow a video (which he gave me) on how to root for the newer software version. "Something happened and it didn't work so I watched another video and tried that" The phone is currently unlocked with S-ON and he flashed a working version of TWRP and cm10 couldn't figure it out and here we are. help please. Rooted using Linux. i did some reading and found out i had to flash the boot.img through fastboot. it just hangs at <waiting for device> in the terminal. Apologies if this has been answered, if so please point me in the right direction.

Is adb configured right?
I use Linux and when I was son I was able to flash boot.img without problems

I'm not really sure what he did or why he even tried. How can I check adb to see if that was done correctly?

Alright, we have made some progress, I went to a buddys house and flashed the boot.img using said method flashed gapps as well.Now, i have no touch function but it does boot to the homescreen, any advice?

I'm guessing it's on the latest firmware (3.16)? That update breaks the touch panel on all non-3.16 roms (which would include cm)...the only way to downgrade is to flash the tp.img from the previous firmware (3.15), which requires s-off. I would recommend going that route as it makes things a lot easier. For example, once you're s-off you won't have to fastboot flash kernels anymore. Check out the dirty racun thread in Original Development for more info. If you decide to s-off, you can flash the old tp.img zip from the 3.15 firmware to get the touch panel working for cm:

Otherwise, if you don't want to go s-off then you'll need to flash a sense Rom that's using the 3.16 base (which I think most if not all are now). I recommend Viper4g, runs great and has tons of tweaks like cm.

Boot into bootloader and check the radio. If its 1.12.11.1210 then he took the 3.16 OTA and your only choices are what premo15 said.

Wow, I completely looked past that, thought I read that whole page thoroughly. It looks like after I failed at that RUU it no longer has TWRP installed, I really hate asking but what can I possibly do now?

I don't know if you can just install TWRP again or if you'll have to go through the HTCdev unlock again. You'll need the Unlock_code.bin for the Dirtyracun process anyway so you might as well get it again.

^^^^ true
I don't know if this will work since you've already tried dirtyracun; but I just used this method to achieve s off. It's ridiculously easy, and took me 5 minutes..

alright, some progress, got my unlock from HTCDEV got the unlock token, restarted the whole S-OFF process over,got through the ruu.zip. it installed, It rebooted itself instead of allowing me to "sudo ./fastboot reboot bootloader." It booted to a stock rom (which is now 3.15), I was in shock that I had her phone working again. restarted to bootloader, noticed it was locked and s-on went back to the directions and had me unlock through the unlock_token and finall had me run "sudo ./RabiesShot...which is giving me errors.
Starting up...
Testing connection...
Test 1: Rebooting into bootloader
Waiting fastboot (18/60)
Waiting...
Test 2: Booting device...
Waiting ADB... (60/60)
Test 2: Booting FAILED
Reboot device manually
Connection test failed!
After this error I rebooted into bootloader and im S-ON with unlocked. can i jump right into s-off'ing it

Yeah, you should be able to run rabies shot again. Did you enable USB Debugging befor trying to run rabies shot? And are you running linux 32-bit?

You can try this

But that requires root. You don't have a 2gb card laying around anywhere?
