Root [ROM] Stock VM OTA 2.95.652.5 Rooted | Deodexed | Everything Should Work Now!!!

I discovered the non rooted version can't seem to run root.. even if its the flashed zip. the only reason I would bring that up is say, if someone (not necessarily referring to myself) wanted to flash that for sellin on ebay or somethin so the next person may want to root it but couldnt.

you just need to install busybox

and try this:
NegaLite_SuperSU_v0.99.zip or
NegaLite_SuperUser_v4.zip

To elaborate further...the download on google play is just the busybox installer. Simply downloading and installing the installer isn't enough. You have to then use the installer to install busybox.

No sure if your having the same problems I was having but maybe what I did can help. I was stuck on the new VM 1.58 hboot with S-ON also. All I wanted was to go back to stock. I tried the ruu, I tried getting S-OFF but nothing would work. I read somewhere that someone said the VM and Sprint hboot 1.58 was the same but that no one had tried using the JBear version that is compatible with the Sprint version 1.58 hboot. I had nothing to loose so I tried it and it worked. Only other problem I had was that the windows version wouldnt work. I downloaded a Ubuntu version and used the live cd to run JBear for the Sprint cdma 1.58 hboot and worked first time. After I was s-off I used the VM ruu no problem. Now Im back to stock. Hope this helps someone.

The problem comes in with a new hboot. There is no controlbear software for Evo V hboot 1.58. We already know that it works on windows and even on a rooted stock rom. But now we have a new hboot. So what do you do? Use the Evo V controlbear software? Use the Evo 3d software for hboot 1.58? My guess would be to use the 1.58 Evo 3d software, but no one has ever tested it yet... There is no specific software compatible with the new OTA... So we just won't know until someone is willing to experiment.

For now, I would say, don't take the OTA if you are considering s-off. Do s-off first!

Not sure. I used to tell people how friendly they were, because they were back when I did s-off... Now, heaven forbid you even politely ask them a question.. It seems they don't want anyone to ask questions lol. So why have a chat?

I used the JBear for Sprint cdma 1.58 hboot on my VM 1.58 hboot with S-ON and it worked just fine. I had to use a live cd with Ubuntu but Im back to stock now.

Try the Mirage kernel, I am using it now on a home brew (started with RUU) rooted stock rom. The initial flash must be done with flash image GUI.

There is a thread on it here.

I have run into exactly same problem. Could any members who have downloaded these files upload them? It would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, If anyone has at least the odex, please get us an upload. I moved hosts for my website and they were lost somehow in between. I'll update and re-up it as well as soon as I get something
