Hello guys, I really want to install the 4.2.2 Unoffical SlimBean Nightly ROM but you need to be S-off for that. I am currently S-on with H-bott 2.09 and the latest OTA update of 3.16.651.3. I was wondering how I can go about going S-off. I know there are couple of ways but you for one you have to downgrade and the other you have a windows 32 bit. I really don't want to downgrade and have a windows 64 bit laptop. I was hoping if there is some way of using my current laptop and set up to get S-off. Thanks for your input.

I got the S-Off using DirtyRacun (babyracun) method using Windows 64 bit desktop without any issues. I followed the "Rooting for Dummies" guide from this website as it takes your step by step and there's no chance to make a mistake if you follow it.
Here try this.

Thanks to you as well. Ok. The instructions are a little sparse. I have a small netbook currently running ubunto, I could use that? Also, I would root with regaw and htc method and then use netbook for rest of instructions.
read the first post in the thread, it does work just follow the instructions.

Y don't u just do the lazypanda s-off now since you are stock. U don't need fresh rom to do it. The new base is installed when u install a new rom on the new base. Just flash radios separately which u can do once s-off or just being on 1.12 I believe.

Yeah but the instructions state to not do it with 1.22 (what i'm currently on) and only to do it with 1.13. Or am i mistaken?

Why would you downgrade hboot and then run ruu to install the latest hboot? If you downgraded to 1.12 you should have no problem running lazy panda. Am I missing something?
On unlimited's site it says the rom requirements to run lazy panda is 1.13 RUU. I was confused on that as well but it hasn't been successful. I'm currently 1.12 hboot with 1.22 software version. So at this point just run the lazy panda?
Someone in mac's development thread stated they were able to run lazy panda on 1.12. You should ask about it in that thread and see if anyone can help
i ran it out of the box no RUU just ran it
Was that you that mentioned it then? I was having a hard time remembering who mentioned it lol
WHOO HOO! I'm S-Off!!! Ok am I finally ready for customer roms etc and I guess i need to flash radios of course.
edit: Thanks guys!
Let me know what customer roms u install. Those sound interesting.

Ok, I am running as of today MeanBean 2.0
But my firmware / radio is way old (baseband 1.05.11) (BUT MY PHONE WORKS PERFECT with no problems whatsoever)
I am S-ON
Racoon only supports Win7 and my computer is Running Win8 64bit. Ubuntu LiveCd is too complicated for me I think.
Can I Unroot my phone, take the Htc OTA to upgrade Radios, Firmware and all and then root again?
Any help is appreciated

Yes you can re-lock your bootloader and take the OTA and it will update everything including your hboot. Also make sure you do it from your phone DON'T use an RUU the latest is having some issues it only updates the hboot and nothing else.
Yes, you can but I would wait a little longer. Being s-off is so trouble free and makes your Evo life so much easier. Dirty racun is going to be releasing a s-off for hboot 2.09 soon and hopefully they will make it available on more PC platforms. The new hboot seems to be more aggressive towards s-on rooted phones so upgrading without the ability to go s-off might not be wise. The new radios have definitely been a big improvement for a lot of people so that is the biggest reason for upgrading. There has been a lot of people that have run dirty racun on 64bit machines with no problems. Just make sure you use the 32bit drivers posted by dirty racun. Or see if you can find someone that will let you use their computer. I used a win xp laptop to run dirty racun with no problems for Kao to get s-off. Go for it.

You can only upgrade the radio. This is why it's recommended to be S-off, so you can update your radio and PRI, as well.

You can not flash any rom that is not based on 3.16. You are s-on and have the latest update which included a touch panel driver update that is incompatible with any rom that is not based on the newest software. TWRP was updated to support this new driver that is why your recovery works. Only options for you are to run a rom based on 3.16 or go s-off and downgrade the touch panel software.

Ok, so I'm in the same boat. If i knew better I would have tried to s-off from the get go. Now I cant use CM10.1 and I'm stuck on Meanbean @ 3.16.651.3.
My question is how do you downgrade without "soft-bricking" the phone so I can go s-off? DirtyRacun cant s-off 3.16.65.3 but it can do .16. I'm just trying to go S-off to avoid all this BS. hahaha

Try to downgrade using the instructions to get s-off, once yo get to the 3.15 version, download the 3.15 RUU, follow the instructions on unlimited.io, I've heard that you can use windows is just not supported by the devs you re on your own, it's real easy, just take off the "sudo./" part on each command and you hold be good to go, good luck!

you know if there is a youtube video on how to do this. I already made an Ubuntu liveCD and I donwloaded the files I need but I have no idea how to untar and all the other terms used in that guide
Hey guys, i have a bit of a dilemma.
My phone has been running MeanRom 6.5 (or whatever the latest ICS version) since forever essentially. I have hboot 1.5 and am not s-off so I can't update my firmware so I've never upgraded to jellybean roms. My phone has been kind of destabilizing for a while now, but Im on vacation and it's just impossible to use now. Everything crashes, phone and messaging work maybe once or twice a day. Restarts are common, etc. I tried re-flashing my current ROM and it didn't really help.
So, I desperately want to update my firmware. I know I could use dirtyracun to go s-off and flash a new firmware, but I'm on vacation and don't have my pc which has a linux partition, and my laptop has no cd drive or any way to run linux for dirtyracun (because it requires linux, correct?). That and I've played around with DR before and had some trouble figuring it out. Not that it would be "impossible' to do, but i'd have to wait a little while just to give it a shot.
I was also wondering if it was possible to recieve OTA updates if I were to re-lock my bootloader? Probably have to go flash a stock ROM, right? Is this possible? I know I'd be screwing myself over in terms of going s-off, but i mean, hell, if it gets me a stable rom and updated radios then I can live with it.
Any suggestions would be awesome and appreciated!
I would S-off using Facepalm, which is Windows friendly. Then you can update your firmware to the latest version, and go from there
