[TOOL] WinDroid Toolkit | Unlock | Root | Flash | Install | EVO 4G LTE

"Sending 'recovery' <8264 KB>
Okay [ 2.025s]
writing 'recovery'
FAILED <remote: image update error>
finished. total time: 2.032s"



Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have even tried different recoveries from the twrp website. I get this for everything.
When I try it manually I use: "fashboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img" <-- this is correct right?

Whenever I had an issue like this I would type fastboot flash recovery and then drag the recovery file into the command prompt and delete the file path and just leave the file name

HTC Jewel Sense 5
Android 4.3
HBOOT 2.10 S-OFF

Unable to push Super user

I just unlock the bootloader and then Flashed the recovery but I am unable to get the superuser to flash. I keep getting that the device could not be found. where did I go wrong?

 

[Magnum_Enforcer]

Just download SuperSU and flash in recovery. Search for it on XDA.

While I am not a fan of toolkits whatsoever (they take away from the learning experience, and the amount of experience you obtain), I finally decided to take a look at this beast. Very nicely done. I know all that I need to know about simple flashing for the Evo LTE, and I feel that this will save a great amount of time.

Step by step

I am also not a fan of toolkits, I prefer step by step, but since I had the latest OTA update my options were limited.
I tried rumrunner but it gave me an error, and since it's an exe I couldn't easily troubleshoot what was happening.
Then I tried WinDroid and it worked, so here are my steps (I know I'm missing a few little bits, but I tried to spell it out as detailed as I could recall the process. You can copy/paste the block into a notepad.

Optional:
Hard reset your phone (factory reset)
	Turn the phone off
	Hold Power and Volume Down
	When phone comes up select Factory Reset (volume up and down change selection, 

power button selects it)

=== install drivers ===
I drove myself nuts because "adb devices" only shows devices that are booted normally and 

"fastboot devices" only shows devices booted into fastboot mode.  I wanted it to show in 

both, but it doesn't work that way.

So if the fastboot step below doesn't work you can try this:
Download HTC Sync Manager: [url]http://www.htc.com/www/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx[/url]
Install it
Uninstall HTC Sync Manager, but leave HTC Driver Installer

Download the Android SDK: [url]http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=sk[/url]
Unzip it somewhere
Fastboot is in xxx\sdk\platform-tools , where xxx is your android sdk folder

=== htc - unlock bootloader ===
NOTE: This will give your fastboot the **UNLOCKED ** message

Go to htcdev.com
Select Unlock BootLoader
Click "Get Started"
Select "All other supported models"
Click Begin Unlock Bootloader
Click Yes
Check the 2 boxes
Click Proceed to Unlock Instructions

Click the fastboot download
Unzip it somewhere
Open a command prompt
Change directory to where fastboot is
Run fastboot devices  (it should show your device as HTblabla)
Click Proceed to Step 5

In phone settings:
	Power - Fast boot: Disable

Turn the phone off
	Hold Power and Volume Down
	When phone comes up select Fastboot (volume up and down change selection, power 

button selects it)

In command prompt:
	fastboot oem get_identifier_token

Right click - Mark
Select the area as shown on the web page
Right Click inside the selection
Paste inside the box on the web page
Submit

In you email you will get:
	Unlock_code.bin

Download this file and save it to the directory where fastboot.exe is.

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

FYI, To re-lock your bootloader:
	fastboot oem lock

=== ready the phone ===

In phone settings:
	Security - Unknown Sources: Enable
	Developer Options - Stay Awake: Enable
	Developer Options - USB Debugging: Enable

Download WinDroid
	[url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499926[/url]
	Click "WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit" under the Download heading
	Either the Direct Download or the BitTorrent should give you the same file

Unzip the file somewhere

Use a USB 2 port if able
Use the original cable if able
Ensure that there is no lock screen (no passcode, no pattern, no face unlock)

Unplug and replug your phone from the computer

In a command prompt (if you loaded the android sdk):
	cd \<your android sdk folder>\sdk\platform-tools
	adb devices

If you don't see your phone:
	Open Device Manager
	Expand Portable Devices
	Right Click on Evo - Update driver software
	Click Browse my computer
	Paste C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64

Go to where you unzipped WinDroid
Double click WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit.exe

You may get a driver popup.  You should OK the driver installation
You need to select your device.
I don't remember if there was more, so follow the apps directions.

Step 1 is already done
Click the TWRP button under "2. Flash Recovery"
	NOTE: This will give your fastboot the ** TAMPERED ** message

Click "Flash SuperSU" under "3. Gain Root"
	Turn the phone off
	Hold Power and Volume Down
	When phone comes up select Recovery
		Click Install
		Scroll down and click SuperSU.apk
		Swipe the bottom to ok it
		Click Reboot

You should now have SuperSU as an app in your list.

I recently use the old version to root an evo LTE. I received nothing but errors for every thing I tried but after every error it worked.

System error appeared. What happened is I originally flashed the official TWRP for my device and everything worked fine. I tried to flash Captain Throwbacks version and the recovery wouldnt launch on my phone. I tried to flash the old recovery back but now I get this error message.

[techwisecomm]

Thank you for this tool! I am excited to use it. I know this is a dumb question but here goes...will this wipe everything from my phone meaning that I will have to restore all apps and data?

Thanks again!

If you unlock your bootloader, yes, it will wipe everything.

Damn, I got two 4G LTE's on launch day but I prematurely parted with them. Well, I got my hands on one today (still a bada$$ device) but I feel like king nOOb getting nervous about unlocking and rooting. What are the pros/cons of unlocking the bootloader? My One M7 has it unlocked, supercid, etc but I can't remember what unlocking the bootloader benefits.... Flashing kernel zips? Any help is appreciated, JC
