Root H boot 1.5 and newbie ?

[mikem0269]

Just got my LTE and have H boot 1.5 and will be rooting soon (but not in the next 10 mn.) and being lazy. Anything special and im assuming this is good because it looks like an old h boot.
Newbie question : does it take the micro sd or is it the mini sd.
And Hello everyone from the OG evo!! and ofcorse everyone else.

Edit: ok i see the root for 1.5 but im software version1.22.651.3 710RD
again does that matter

Ok I think im geting there I have Ubuntu 12.10 loaded on my pc and have been reading to the point that my eyeballs are about to fall out. The one thing that im wondering is this bricking during root and needing Ubuntu to un brick it. How common is this?? Also the instructions for DirtyRacun has steps in the middle for 3.16 only but isnt to clear where to skip to if you dont have 3.16.
My phone
Hardware 0003
Software Version 1.22.651.3 710RD
Android version 4.0.3
Baseband 1.05.11.060
Where do I find the firmware version and is that important to rooting??

EDIT: Ninja'd by Ocn....AGAIN!!

If you didn't update your phone since getting it, and it's still S-on, your firmware stuffs match up with your Baseband # 1.05.11.060. No worries on that for now.

I bricked quite a few times before it worked, but that was on Lazy Panda / and operator error (me ). It really isn't a true "brick", it's just stuck in Qualcomm Download Mode, which the unbricker fixes pretty easily. The rub is you need Ubuntu set up and confirmed working, the 32 bit version, make sure it's that version.

Give me a minute to look up the Dirty Racun Instructions, I need a refresher. NVM Ocn covered it above.

You say to skip steps a to f but the instructions just start with 1 so basicly like this

step 1
step 2
step 3
step 4
--steps for 3.16 only
step 1
step 2
step 3
step 4
step 5
step 6 babyracun
step 5 (Linux only
step 6
steps 7 to 15
So Im guessing skip 1 to 6 under 3.16.
And I thought tacoroot was a pain LOL

ok not sure where you going from but for dirty racun you need to use their guide:Unlimited.IO

after step 4 a-f is baby racun then step 5-15 is dirty racun.

I have ubuntu 12.10 and im using it now but what do you mean "confirmed working" Is there something i need to test first?

Ok I see that now I copied and pasted on my windows laptop to word and printed so windows changed the letters to numbers Gotta love it.

you just need to make sure that you have installed the live cd or have ubuntu up and running before running dirty racun. otherwise you have to get ubuntu up and working so that you can run he unbircker.

smart move, take your time. i would also recommend that you read http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte...g-dummies-guide-racun-babyracun-unlocked.html. i would as many of the posts as you can. there is some great troubleshooting in he thread that might help you if you run into trouble or it may answer some of the questions you have as well......and keep the questions coming if you have them.

 

[mikem0269]

Ok is this right I clicked on Linux dirtyracun and it downloaded a tar folder named rabies shot.

When you have Ubuntu up and running, check to be sure your internet connection is working. You'll need to have the files downloaded while booted into Ubuntu.

Also, plug your phone in and check to see that it's communicating with your PC properly. They "should" go together like peas and carrots, but it's always good to check before you start.

if you are gonna run ubuntu.....yes.

Thanks I just expected the names to match.

yeah the actual dirty racun is the rabieshot exe file. just make sure that you extract or untar according to the os you use to run the rabbieshot.exe

 

[mikem0269]

It said to Untar to default directory witch is home/downloads So that is correct?

Thanks that should be the last question for tonight.

Dude, you will be fine. I did mine in about 2 hours with dirty racun. I have NEVER used linux or ubuntu. I spent majority of the two hours double and quadruple checking things. I also had to deal with my own learning curve of sorts. And I made sure to post minute-by-minute and step-by-step updates of my s-off status. Search under my name and you should be able to locate the thread I was posting to. It may offer some assistance or comfort for you. The folk over at unlimited prefer you contact them for support. They do not allow EVO masters like ocn and granite and argedion make their own guides on using dirty racun.

I'm so happy I went s-off. I'm sure you will be too.

Good luck! Keep us posted.

My biggest piece of advice is type sudo before the commands. I could have saved myself a TON of hassle if I had just used sudo on a couple commands. I'm also a Linux/Ubuntu rookie and I was able to get s-off, I'm sure you'll be successful.
