Root [S-OFF] LazyPanda S-OFF for LTEvo[Locked or Unlocked devices]

Ok serious issue here...I was running the feedpanda program on Windows 7 and in the middle it seemed to freeze up. My phone screen shut off (for quite a while) but never rebooted and now when I run the feedpanda program it says "Old bamboo detected" and then it asks me to connect the device and install the drivers. The phone is unusable as the screen wont come back on.

I dont run linux on my computer (never have) so I have no idea how to use the unbricker, but I need my phone back and functional asap. Any help you can give would be outstanding. I dont care if I cant get it to S-off, I just need it back to how it was half an hour ago.

Thanks.

Well after a crash course in the basics of Umbuntu navigation I was able to unbrick the phone :) I literally did a happy dance :)

Now the question is...do I go for full s-off since I can run it through linux and know how to unbrick it...oh hell yes!

I will report back in the morning :)

Now that you're unbricked, rerun feedpanda. It will fail, don't worry this is normal. After the failed attempt it should restore your SD card contents. After that, disconnect from your pc, exit terminal. Open a new terminal session in Ubuntu, and run from there. If you need help with the commands post back, we'll give you a hand. :)
 
I am going to do it after work...if you could post the commands that would rock my brain is fried :)

I missed this type of community when I had my Galaxy sii...the EVO community is amazing!!
 
Linux instructions to feed the panda -

EarlyMon said:
Not sure how much Linux you know.

After download, you'll want to open a terminal window, and we'll use the tab key to complete some commands.

Get into the downloads area -

cd $HOME/Down<tab-key>

Next, make sure that FeedPanda-RELEASE-Jewel-Linux.tar.gz is there -

ls -lFa

Next, comfirm that you have a good download -

md5sum Feed*gz

Confirm to - 0125966552a70f5b648b17c8949ef338

Next, if that's the only file there, you need to unzip and unarchive it -

tar zxf Feed<tab-key>

Confirm you have a file called FeedPanda -

ls -lFa

Now - go munch some bambo!!!

sudo ./FeedPanda

Make sure to get in that ./ because it means: don't search for it, it's right here.

Hope that helps. :)

Congratulations! :)

This is your next step - go to -

[MOD | S-OFF] Remove Red HTC Developer Splash Screen Text - xda-developers

Physical sd card = /sdcard2

If you don't have a physical sd card, keep that on your to-do list.

Following that, go to -

http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte...21-recovery-twrp-2-2-1-7-25-2012-teamwin.html

Then, boot into recovery. Make a nandroid backup and you'll be ready for anything. :)

Any of us can walk you through any steps above.

You are way over the hump now. :)

^ This is exactly what I used to do mine. Thanks EM! :p

If you have any more issues, try it with a freshly formatted SD card, and a fresh factory reset. I bricked several times until I did both of those, then it took. :)

EDIT:

I forgot to mention, if you decide to to do the above, make sure you back up your data before doing both. :)

And back up the sd card data as part of that. :)
 
I know this will sound lame, but that was like way over my head. Remember I have like 1 hours worth of linux I learned while half asleep last night...it is hard for me to even figure out how to navigate in the terminal :o

If you could, could you perhaps explain it to me like I am a 5th grader...and by that I dont mean a current 5th grader that can probably code in Java, but in a 5th grader from earlier generations that never learned how to program :D

Please and thank you :)

No worries, slow and steady wins the race. :)

Boot up your Ubuntu Linux from the CD.

Open Firefox, open this page.

download FeedPanda-RELEASE-Jewel-Linux.tar.gz from the LazyPanda site - LazyPanda S-OFF Public Beta | Unlimited.IO

Open a terminal.

Go to post 183 above, and copy/paste the commands in black bold in that post to the terminal window - except don't copy/paste the <tab-key> part - actually hit the tab key on your keyboard.

The part that says to confirm-to followed by alphabet soup - that's not a command, it's what I want you to compare to what the terminal says after the "md5sum" command. ;)

cd = change directory, aka change folder

ls (LS) = list what I have in this folder

tar = name of the Linux archive tool - think like Linux winzip and you're good enough

sudo = how to run something in Linux with superuser permissions (a bamboo munching requirement)

Get back to me, I'm going to stand by you through this. :)

PS - to copy/paste in Linux - ok to use the Edit menu option in Firefox to copy, then in the terminal to paste.

No space between a word and a tab key. All the tab key does is magic typing so you don't have type long names of things. ;)

End every command with an Enter (or Return - whatever your keyboard uses).

EDIT: EM ninja'd me by a long shot!! :D Follow his lead, he's got Linux down better than I ever will. ;)




It's cool, no worries. We've all been there, I was there last week!! :p

OK, first thing to do is plug your phone in and make sure it's set to charge only.

Now open a terminal window

Type in: cd $HOME/Download hit enter

Your prompt should change to "Downloads"

That command opens the Downloads folder where you save the FindPanda and the Unbrick tool.

Now you need to type: ls -lFa hit enter

I believe this identifies all the files in the Downloads folder.

OK, to check that you have a good download of the files listed above you need to check the md5 sum. This will ensure a good file, anything other than the listed md5 is a bad download!!

Now type this: md5sum Feed*gz hit enter

In the terminal window you'll see a printout of a bunch of gibberish, look in the pile of gibberish for md5: 0125966552a70f5b648b17c8949ef338
If the gibberish doesnt match the bold string of numbers/letters listed here, delete the file and redownload. ;)

Time to unzip the FeedPanda file. Type this: tar zxf FeedPanda-RELEASE-Jewel-Linux.tar.gz hit enter

That will unzip the files in the Downloads folder.

Next you'll need to "find" FindPanda again, so type this again: ls -lFa hit enter

Terminal will print out a bunch of text and in there you should see FeedPanda in green I believe, if it isn't green it's something other than white. :)

Now to run the command you need type: sudo ./FeedPanda hit enter

You'll see Terminal print out some text from the script. watch along to see how the Panda is hungry, and finds the woods on your SD card, etc.
 
Ok...so I loaded Ubuntu up (not from CD it is running on my machine as OS instead of Win7 at the moment) which is how I did this last night.

Downloaded the FeedPanda-RELEASE-Jewel-linux.tar.gz

I opened a terminal window and it says "dhandler01@ubuntu:~$"

I tried copy and pasting the commands in post 183 but they dont seem to work. (tab key does zilch) home/down is not a valid directory. (says "No such directory" ) Last night I ran into the same issue and had to use a different pathway that was much longer. I am attempting to figure out what it was but it is alluding me.
 
Typed tar zxf FeedPanda-RELEASE-Jewel-Linux.tar.gz (which is the name of the file)and all that happens is it opens another prompt. ls -IFA confirms that nothing seems unzipped int he Downloads folder. Did I screw it up somehow?

edit: There are other files in my downloads folder including a duplicate...will that matter?

Duplicates won't matter.

I can't tell if it's a typo:

ls -IFA

Should be:

ls -lFa (both are lowercase L there)

Not busting your chops - Linux is case sensitive, so we need to be sure.

From an ls -lFa command we want to see a file called FeedPanda there - anything else is a don't-care right now.
 
If still no FeedPanda, then let's assume that a minor typing glitch failed the archive - it happens easily.

In such a case, try this command instead -

tar zxf Feed*gz

And then follow by -

ls -lFa
 
That was just a typo :)

I typed in tar zxf Feed*gz and it says "tar: FeedPanda-RELEASE-Jewel-Linux.tar.gz not found in directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors".

To check I redid ls -IFa and it shows the file in the directory.
 
brickdetect.sh (in green) lp_hboot.img (white)

FeedPanda (in green) PandaFinder (in green)

FeedPanda-RELEASE-Jewel-Linux(1).tar.gz (in red) PandaFinder.tar.gz (in red
FeedPanda-RELEASE-Jewel-Linux.tar.gz (in red)

I have a feeling I was an idiot and missed that it actually unzipped seeing as I can reed it says "FeedPanda" right now...(if true so sorry!!!)

No apologies!!! :)

I salute your courage in learning something new, especially something this big. :) :) :)

I've been using unix for nearly 3 decades - and I make little typing mistakes every day - including today, lmao. It just is what it is.

On the line with the green FeedPanda, you should see this number - 1134188

Now - congratulations - you are ready to much some bamboo!

Enter -

sudo ./FeedPanda

There is a space between sudo and the dot, there are no spaces after the dot.
 
Ok fed the Panda and it says "S-Off Failed error code 6673226266 still hungry quiting..."

Now from what I read from Granite I know it failing is no big deal but now do I run feedpanda again?

Man my mind is going to be fried for The Dark Knight at midnight :D
