Root [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Evo 4g LTE

Not sure what happened, but here is what I got.


C:\Android>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found

C:\Android>su
'su' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

C:\Android>echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20

do you have usb debugging turned on? as well as set the phone to charge only?

when you connect the phone to the pc, in the notification bar you can change it from being carge only or set as disc drive.....you want charge only.

Okay, gotcha!

Hmm, debugging was turned on.

I also don't the "charge only" option in the pull down menu...all I have is USB connected and USB file sharing.
 
Charge only is rom dependent.

If mounted as Windows drive, eject.

Tap on usb disk sharing, change to media sharing if no charge only.

Enter: adb shell(return or enter key)

If your prompt changes, enter: exit(return or enter key)

At that point you'll be good to go, re-enter the commands.

So wait...do I perform all those steps while the phone is running in normal mode or do I need to boot into bootloader to do these steps as well as the facepalm steps?

just booted up at first with supercid commands then the next command will boot the phone into the bootloader.

Okay!

Is this the result I am looking for?

C:\Android>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
su
echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20su
shell@android:/ $ su
root@android:/ #

The "root@android:/ " appeared after I granted permission in SU on the phone.
 
So do I enter the whole command:

"adb shell su echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20"

or just

"adb shell"

when I am in command prompt?

no do each line one by one.
so its
[HIGH]adb shell[/HIGH]
[HIGH]su[/HIGH]
[HIGH]echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20[/HIGH]
 
Okay, so this time I get:

C:\Android>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
su
echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20su
shell@android:/ $ su
/system/bin/su[1]:

when you typed su did you get a change from $ to #?

Here is exactly what I got:

ENTERED: C:\Android>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
su
echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20su
shell@android:/ $ su
/system/bin/su[1]:
