I just went into the recovery and then tried to reboot and it cleared. It wasnt really a bootloop more of getting to the htc sense screen and rebooting.

im with you on that one grrmisfit i will also wait for the true s-off from our great devs instead of using the htc.dev cause i will want to keep my warranty

thank god. yes if you restore with an RUU you go back to a regular bootloader and the tampered goes away. WOW damn now I gotta setup my phone again LOL..

Wait a minute. I am confused. I thought you didn't have true root on an HTC device unless you had S-OFF. Is all this is doing giving SU rights in the OS? Not that that is bad, just curious.

S-OFF lets you install custom ROMs and stuff. If that is what you consider "true root", then no, this does not give you S-Off.

It does provide root access through the OS, however.






In an unrelated matter, I wonder how difficult it would be to make a long-press on home show recent apps and have the recent apps button work like a menu button...

Right

No r/w to system with this?

This is a local root exploit, it doesn't flash a recovery or give S-OFF. As stated in the scripts

This script will:
(1) root your Evo 4G LTE on ICS
(2) install Busybox 
(3) install SU files

Script worked, my buddies EVO has root. Thanks for the method. After the script finished, his phone booted to "Android is updating" then rebooted which surprised me...but after that it fully booted. I waited 3 mins and rebooted it, all is working well. As for the bootloader, I didn't check...and don't care. I am sure I will be flashing him a ENG bootloader once S-Off is sorted...
