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.

I went through the steps and now phone is off and wont turn on. When connected QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager.

Do we need to have the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers for this exploit to work?

Thanks ahead of time.

EDIT: Did a battery pull and started over from begining. We now have S-Off!!!!! Failed to install CWM but I will install TWRP

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

There are people having trouble flashing CWM with the tool. AFter the tool finishes if you try and run again it says device not supported at this time. I have s-off but cannot flash a recovery.

I have all the drivers installed. I have uninstalled htc sync. I am stuck on waiting for fastboot. Can't get past that part. HHHMMMMM

Edit: I reinstalled the drivers about three times while it was waiting for fastboot. Disconnected and connected a few times and it finally took.

I flashed this through fastboot and it appeared to work. It won't boot into the recovery though. Are there some steps I'm missing?

    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.
