Root I'm giving it a shot!

[m6284505]

S-on, unlocked, H-Boot 2.09.000, Radio 1.12.11.1119.
Going to try and get s-off tomorrow. Tried a few times a few months ago and failed but now that MeanBean isn't being updated I am on an old ROM and want to get stuff up to date, including the touch panel driver so I'll devote most of the late morning and early afternoon to doing it.

Wish me luck!

keep us posted and feel free to ask any questions that you might have.

So far so good. Only one error so far but I don't think it mattered.
ubuntu@ubuntu: ~/Downloads/DirtyRacun$ sudo ./fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 534642040 (0x1FDDFD78)
FAILED (status read failed (No such device))
finished. total time: 5.941s

The phone was rebooting I think when this error happened. I have continued to move on to flashing the RUU.zip.

Running RabiesShot now...

I guess it failed.
MicroSD-card is not compatible with DirtyRacun.
Your SD-card must be 2G - 16G. Smaller or larger is not supported.
Quit...

Guess I will remove the SD card and try again.

Hmm, need an SD card. Not sure if I have a smaller one anymore.

 

[m6284505]

While looking for a smaller SD card, should I run updates on the phone before I root?

Running RabiesShot again...

Sneaking out of the house.
Racun has escaped!

DirtyRacun S-OFF Success!!

 

[CYNICALifornia]

Is that a success?

 

[m6284505]

Looks like it is! I just installed the TWRP recovery from http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte...g-dummies-guide-racun-babyracun-unlocked.html and I just installed SU and rebooting now.

 

[m6284505]

Now I need to find a ROM!
Current:
Software Version 3.15.651.16 710RD
Baseband 1.12.11.1119
PRI 2.87_003
PRL 25004
HBOOT 2.09.4444

Don't forget to make a nand!

Good job! Which rom did you decide to go with?

NICE!!!!!!

sorry, been kind of busy today.....glad you got s-off.

i saw one of your posts mentioning updating your phone......never accept an ota if you plan on rooting or have rooted your phone. with each new ota's it makes rooting that much harder to do.

as far as roms go.....meanbean, viper, carbon and pacman are the one's the i like......but i'm more of an aosp rom person and right now i'm on jellybeer and it is pretty good so far.

 

[m6284505]

I went back to MeanBean 3.09 since I was used to it. I went out of town unexpectedly so I am glad I had a familiar one. I also downloaded SuperJelly, haven't tried it yet. I'll give Viper a try, I looked at that one a while back.

Thanks for the informative posts, I wouldn't have gotten anything done with all the pieces that are spread around the internet.
