[ROOT] RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter | Updated 01.26.13

[premo15]

My understanding is that this is correct. If you have twrp you should be able to flash a rooted ROM and therefore gain root

Second...

As long as the ROM has the proper su binaries and apk, you should have root access in it. The root that happens in regawMOD is to gain local root in the stock OS though, which is needed for titanium backup if you wanted to carry you're app data over to the new ROM (or if you just want to be rooted and stick with stock).

The problem is that the zip file needed to root the phone is not getting pushed to the phone via the regawMOD executable (at lest for me and one other person here). Not sure why it's not getting pushed, but the on screen display of the app running on the PC side indicates that the root zip file was pushed successfully. However, once in TWRP the zip file is no where to be found.

Its an awesome tool and once that gets figured out that's great until then I posted a manual walkthrough which is quick in general thread to help those dev unlock and flash a rooted ROM or stock rooted

I'm checking your thread now, but don't see how this gets me to root. I have s-off and TWRP thanks to this tool, but I'm missing the piece that get me root access. How does your process get my device rooted?

This tool doesn't give s-off. It dev unlocks. Since u have tarp just flash any rom to get root. Or one if the full stock ROMs out there. At the bottom of that thread with the walkthrough there is two links to threads with rooted full stock ROMs or pick any other made for this device

I'll be updating this on Tuesday. I just haven't found the time to sit down and debug my AndroidLib api.

 

[atlgator]

Go back and read pages 82-84. Your answer is in there if you must have root now via this method. If you can wait, he's updating it tomorrow.

Can anyone else verify that this is true? Not saying that it's not but I just never heard of this being possible.

I just ran though this process and I'm seeing the same thing. I get to the TWRP recovery then click Install and there is no .zip file there for the root process. Not sure what's broken here, but the root zip file is not getting pushed to my phone (internal memory or SD card). Please advise.

I have rebooted back into the OS and the Super User app is not installed. I have s-off but have had s-off for a while (since pre OTA update via lazy panda). Gave up root back then to try to recover NFC/Google Wallet by running RUU. Got back to stock but still had s-off! Took the OTA and gave up root hopring OTA would fix multitasking issue, but it didn't. Now, here I am. Ran the exe for this root methos and all looked well until I got to TWRP and now have no zip to flash. Is there a way to get this zip manually? I can just mount the SD card and transfer the file and flash it.

Yes, I can confirm this. I got impatient waiting for an answer, so I downloaded a Rom ( liquid) and flashed it thru TWRP, and it flashed fine.
The ONLY bad part was that I had to redownload all the apps again since I couldn't use Titanium Backup to back up my apps.

I appreciate that, however in the mean time if you can upload the file in the OP that would be great.
At least that way we can do it manually if need be.

i need some help. the rooter froze at recovery, phone shut down, and now it wont reboot at all. I also cant get into the bootloader. I was on the 1.15 update. Any help is appreciated, dont wanna go through Sprint.

 

[arozer]

^did it freeze at where it says "rebooting to recovery",
If so same happened to me and I just unplugged it and.pressed power until it rebooted and then once the phone came back on, I did it again and it worked the second time.

how do you push a rom boot.img to the phone. I pulled a noob move flashing viper without the kernel first. I thought lte could do this on hboot 1.15

Pull the boot.img out and flash in fastboot. I got a thread in general for us 1.15ers

Ok, so I guess this means I don't have to have root to flash a custom ROM?

 

[motcher41]

No the custom ROM is rooted.

thank you......please share the links that you mentioned

I attached the exact files you need, their source locations if you care to investigate, and their MD5 checksums if you want to verify the files before flashing them.

For the first two files, make sure you rename them to "PJ75IMG.zip" (without the quotes) and place them on your external SD card (not the internal SD card) and reboot into the bootloader (hboot); they will load automatically and prompt you to install/flash.

The last file you can have on either your internal or external SDCard (no need to rename), and then "install from zip" inside of TWRP recovery. Let me know if you have any problems.

If you are S-ON with hboot 1.15, you can still flash a kernal (boot.img file). You just have to do it from your computer via fastboot. The phone has to be sitting in the bootloader and should read "fastboot usb". Then the commands are:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

The last line is just to reboot the phone to /system if you are done in the bootloader.

If you don't quite have your computer set up with Android SDK tools, etc., you can go to this link from @motcher41 and he has the 2 DLLs and 2 executables that are needed at a minimum and instructions how to flash the kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794867

EDIT: Sorry, just saw that it was already answered.

I was confused about that too.
My guess is that an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery is enough.
Bc root DOES only mean access to specific areas. Nothing more.

 

[xfred]

Backup?

NOTE: Unlocking your bootloader erases ALL user data on the phone! Be sure to back up with Titanium or something similar!

I guess herein lies my conundrum....hopefully someone can help me.

I have never rooted previous to .3.
I do not have root access.
Titanium backup will not work without root access


What i'm trying to acomplish: Titanium backup and wifi tether. AFAIK, root access required for both.

So now it appears that I have the choice of remaining locked, or losing all my settings. Is there any way around this?

If you are on build 1.13.651.1, you can use zedomax's original root method to gain local root, and allow you to use titanium backup, then use this to unlock your bootloader and flash a recovery. If you are on 1.22.651.3, it's been patched.
