Perm Root wont work (Htc Evo Shift)

[hckrnewb]

Hello really new to this but im good at following directions and i followed Big D5's instructions step by step and at the end where you reboot to bootloader and its supposed to say xspeedy xe s-off it still says S-ON even though i followed all the steps correctly can someone tll me what im doing wrong

 

[Dave Blake]

Did you check the MD5 sum and did it match exactly? As shown in the directions? Try again watch that make sure it matches exactly.

 

[hckrnewb]

Yeah I checked it I did it 6 times all the digits matched I even read them out loud

After you did the md5 copy thing did you re-run visionary and attempt to do a perm root?

 

[hckrnewb]

no i didnt use visionary i used z4 root

 

[grandebob]

I used the z4 when I had the epic and it worked great. I followed the directions listed on http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...faqs-how-tos-updated-3-5-11-a.html#post627430 for my shift and used the Visionary app to do it with no problems. Try using that instead of z4 and see what happens.

I see what ya got there but thats over my head are you still trying to root temp with z4?

 

[hckrnewb]

yeah still using z4 to temp root

 

[Dave Blake]

Try Visionary when bcnice first rooted the Shift he stated that this might not work with z4root he didn't test the process with z4. The Visionary download link is in this post:

Hi I'm new to droid and rooting as well. I have also come across the same problem I am using VISIONary+ for temp root. My initial attempt at rooting came from these instructions:

{GUIDE} Rooting an HTC EVO Shift for Dummies! - xda-developers

All seem well and my phone still works so i guess i didn't "brick" it. However getting s-on to s-off is presenting a problem AND ROM manager recovery fails consistantly sticking at the HTC welcome screen only fixable by pulling out the battery....I've been searching for solutions and found ur forum!

Gonna try Your instructions Big D5 will post my results

You need s-off in order to access recovery, that's why it's failing. Your missing something in the root process. There is also I sticky in this forum on rooting, make sure your doing everything exactly as stated and everything matches.

Im not sure where I when wrong the the first time (really wish i knew...no telling) but after a knuckle cracking laser beam focused attempt, the second time worked like a charm! Many Thanks Big D5! crump84! and androidcentral forum!!!

I am now in love with my phone again and I can get all this tacky lipstick and eye shadow (bloatware) off of her!

Thanks again fellas! awesome job.
