Just wanted to say thanks to Clark for the write up and all involved in making this happen. It's a good feeling to have control of your phone again. :D

Can't wait to see what you cook up, Clark. You did a bang up job with the Kingdom ports. Thanks again :)

After S-Off, installing the Recovery and then nand, I rebooted.
The phone went into hands free activation process, even though it is activated. I let it go, updated the PRL with success then the phone went to check for firmware update, I skipped this part.
GMail prompt me with my email and asked for the password even though it was prior s-off. I put my password and was good to go.
I download the SU and the Eng Boot loader and put them on sd card.
I rebooted into fastboot and installed the Eng Bootloader then into reovery and installed the SU.
rebooted and finally I got everything working, even Titanium Backup, it did tell me I have to go Setting/ Applications/ Development and check USB Debugging. But later I was able to back and restore as usual.
Kinda wired, the phone acted like a brand new phone after s-off, but got everything working.

Better try to make a call. You may be redirected to a sprint rep who will have to reactivate it for you...

I even tried factory reset and phone reset ##72786# and no luck.

I'm back online with Voice after a call to sprint.

The lady said we tripped a security check.

Boy, they must have really had to go deep with this exploit.

Tried to use Revolutionary and had the cmd window hung at blinking cursor saying Acquiring Root (method 3), going on 10 minutes now. How long should it take?

The OP is wrong or it wouldn't work for me until I did this. Download the Android SDK from here.
Unzip it to root of C: drive. Download the Fastboot.exe from here and save it to the C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder. Download the TeamWin Recovery from here and place in same folder. Bring up a CMD window and type: C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools then hit Enter. Then type:
fastboot flash recovery C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img then hit Enter. If the fastboot.exe and recovery aren't in the same folder as ADB you will get errors or at least I did.

I tried reflashing the fixed SU zip from an hour ago and TB still doesn't work.

    Hey guys Just wanted to give a quick TUT to the Noobs...


    THIS IS THE BETA VERSION I DID NOT CREATE IT ALL CREDIT GOES TO TEAM Revolutionary...
    I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENES TO YOUR PHONE...


    1.)Go to http://revolutionary.io/ select your operating system...
    2.) once downloaded apply for a beta key (this is needed!!)
    3.) Boot into you phone like normal and go to Settings>Applications>Development>And check USB Debugging...Make sure your phone is on charge only.
    4.) Extract the downloaded ZIP to a folder (DONT RUN IT FROM THE ZIP) and run the file "revolutionary"
    5.) It will ask you for a beta key (you should he gotten from the site) enter it and hit enter.
    6.) It will get you S-Off and root.

    OPTIONAL FLASH TWRP

    1.) Download TWRP from their thread.
    2.) Plug in you phone to your pc and make sure you have fastboot drivers and your phone is in fastboot mode
    2* to put your phone is fastboot mode remove the battery>put it in and hold down volume down and powerbutton>once in bootloader use the volume rockers to go to fastboot> hit the power button...done!
    3.) Once you have your usb plugged in and the .img downloaded open CMD
    4.) Navigate to your sdk/tools path not your platform-tools/ (since thats where fastboot is)
    5.) (make sure the recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img is in the sdk/tools/ folder) Type in
    Code: 
    fastboot flash_image recovery recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img

    Your command should look like this

    Code: 
    C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\abe\Desktop\recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img
    just change
    Code: 
     C:\Users\abe\Desktop\recovery-twrp-shooter-
1.0.0.img


    (drag and drop the file into the cmd window to choose its position and walllah!!)

    Rooting Proccess...


    1.) Download this file http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
    2.) Put the downloaded file on your sdcard
    3.) Boot to TWRP
    4.) Hit install a .ZIP
    5.) Choose the file and BOOM you got root :)

    If your phone wont turn on you probably dont have your fastboot drivers installed. Do that first


    AS for amon RA recovery that hasent been built for the shooter yet. If you want cmw just keep running the revolutionary application and it will ask if you want it to flash CMW

    Hey thanks worked perfectly with me, and I was even able to install clockworkmod. I made a little video for people who like to see visually how to root their device.
