This will show you how to FULLY unroot your evo to stock. S-ON *****(LOCKED OOW)*****
THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU USED HTCDEV METHOD!!!!!
Please read thru this guide once or twice before actually taking steps !
Your phone MUST be on a stock sense rom so go get that installed now !
Download these files if you do not have them

Before you do anything else, your phone MUST be on a stock sense rom !
step #1 downgrading the misc partition
1.download the first three files and create a folder and call it android then move the downloaded files to the android folder.(you should have already have this setup when you rooted with HTCdev)
2.download and install (do not run) htc sync: http://www.mediafire.com/?cdcjs0ue8tne4cy
3.connect your phone to the pc via usb cable
4.we need to extract and then move the flash_image and the mtd-eng files on to the sd card. make sure that you do not put the extracted files in any folders. they need to be on the root of the card (very top level)
5.change the setting from disk to charge only, make sure that usb debugging is turned on, settings>apps>development>check usb debugging, and lastly make sure that fastboot is disabled, settings>apps>uncheck fastboot.
6.on your pc hold shift while right clicking on the android folder. select open command window here option.
7. in the command window type:
Code:
[B][I]adb shell
ok you should get # in the command window if not then something went wrong.
if you do get # then type:
Code:
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
then:
Code:
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
and last:
Code:
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
the command screen should look like this when all the commands are entered:[/I][/B]

download the 4.67 PC36IMG file and rename it by deleting everything but the PC36IMG part in the name. make sure not to add an extra zip as windows hides extensions.
move it to the root of the sd card that means on the top level of the card and not in any folders.
power off then press and hold power+vol down. this will take you to the bootloader. if you named the file right and it is on the root of the card then it will ask you to update. select yes.
before you reboot your phone double check your bootloader screen. at the top it should say locked and your hboot should be 2.18 with s-on. if that is what you see then congrats!!!!!!!!!! you are now unrooted!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've actually been dealing with this most of the day trying to unroot and go back 100% stock and have had no success. It was suggested elsewhere that I need to be on a stock rom? I'm dl'ing one now to try as I am currently on an ics rom.
yes you do need to be on a stock sense rom so download a stock sense rom, and then follow the guide

Where did you get it from, then?
It looks strikingly similar to this guide:
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/526575-guide-unrooting-gingerbread-2-3-5-a.html
In fact, the inordinate number of exclamation points and the use of my command prompt screenshot makes me think it originated over there.

Are you running a rooted ROM? You need to have root access for this to work. Try typing "su" at the prompt and see if it changed to a #.

Hi, I know this is really out of date, but I have to send my phone back because the screen is cracked (inner touch screen) and I wanted the phone to be completely stock. I never rooted the phone. I only unlocked the bootloader. I found this thread hoping I could relock the bootloader to make it look like I never unlocked it in the first place. Of course once I reached Step 7, I don't get the # sign. I get the $ sign and I don't know what to do :/

Ok, so I'm going to make a little write up on how to easily install ADB and fastboot on a Mac. It's actually quite simple, and plus you don't have to worry about drivers like in Windows.
Instructions
First, make a folder named "android" (no quotes of course ) You can place it anywhere on your hard drive, it doesn't really matter. Put it somewhere you'll easily remember, because you're going to be using it a LOT. I placed mine on my desktop.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Next, you'll want to download the android SDK from Here. (you won't need to install Java first like you would on a Windows PC, though I would recommend it anyway)
(As pointed out by Wlmeng11, you could skip this step just download a zip that I will have attached at the bottom of the page containing the adb and fastboot files instead of downloading the whole SDK)
When the SDK finishes downloading, Unzip it and the contents of the "android-sdk-mac_x86" folder into your android folder.
Once you have done that, open your android folder. Go into the tools folder inside of it. Double click on the file called "android" (possibly called android sdk) This file is a UNIX executable and will open within a Terminal window.
When it finishes opening, check the folder called tools. Make sure both "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools" are selected within the tools folder. Click install and wait for them to download.
When they finish downloading, go into the platform-tools folder inside your android folder, then copy adb and fastboot and paste them into the root of your android folder.
Now that you have adb and fastboot installed, we're going to want to test them to make sure they work.
Go ahead and plug in your android device at this time. Make sure android debugging is enabled in settings. Go into Settings > Apps > Developer and check it there (for Gingerbread 2.3 and lower) or go into Settings > Developer Options and check it there for Ice Cream Sandwich or Jellybean. As of now, there are two ways to access adb and fastboot.
Open a Terminal window (look in Applications > Utilities if you can't find it). Type "cd" followed by the path you saved your android folder to (I'm going to use the Desktop for this demonstration) it should look like this
Code:
cd /Users/<yourusername>/Desktop/android
Press enter.
Now you need to actually execute an adb or fastboot command. To do this, you'll need to type "./adb (or fastboot) <command>" For this tutorial, we will use "ADB devices" since it doesn't actually do anything to the phone. (we won't use fastboot since it requires rebooting to the boot loader which is different for every device)
In the same terminal window as before type the following:
Code:
./adb devices
then hit enter. It should turn up your device's serial number. If it does, proceed to the next step, if not recheck your steps, then leave a post in this thread.
(if it says * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully * that is perfectly normal)
Now, at this moment, ADB and Fastboot are both completely useable. However, it's very annoying to have to CD into the directory and use ./ in front of every terminal command. I'll show you how to add it to your path so you don't have to do any of that.
Open a new Terminal window and type
Code:
nano ~/.bash_profile
it will open a window that looks like this:
(Yours will probably be blank, because I've added a lot of stuff to mine over the years)
Add a line to it that contains the path to your android folder. (again, I'm using Desktop) It should look like this
Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/<yourusername>/Desktop/android
Once you have added that, press CTRL+X to exit, then Y to confirm the save then press enter. It will close the nano editor. You can close the Terminal window now.
Now we need to verify that it works. Open a new Terminal window and type
Code:
adb devices
If it shows the serial number, then you have set it up successfully and are good to go!
If you have any questions or issues let me know in the thread below.
If this has helped, please press thanks!
Awesome! This made the front page of XDA Thanks guys!

Lol I'll fix that. Thanks btw. I'm out today, but I'll give you one tomorrow (too lazy to use my phone)
To save time, you might want to just have a adb/fastboot combo instead of the entire sdk.

Well since this guide is primarily aimed towards users who only want to root their phone, rather than developers, adb/fastboot is really all you need.
So it would save time to just use an adb/fastboot combo.
I still prefer linux
I still prefer the linux enviroment, although its handy to have the adb on my macbook for when I'm not at home and have bricked my device :S
I had already got this setup, I just didn't know the ~/.bash_profile bit Now I know had to add my own programs as actual programs and not just aliases XD
First off, nice guide. I am still trying to understand why you've moved adb and fastboot from platform-tools, rather than export the path to that directory. Is there any particular reason?
EDIT: BTW, you've hit the front page on XDA.
Hi.
Would it be valid on a very old Powerbook Pismo running 10.4 Tiger??
Thanks in advance and regards.

Indeed, though this method allows you to update your adb and fastboot via Android SDK Manager (ASM). Also, in cases where all you need is adb and fastboot, you can speed up future update checks by going to "Tools"->"Manage Add-on Sites..." in ASM and click on "Disable All" button in "Official Add-on Sites" tab. From there on Android SDK Manager will check only the default repository containing tools and APIs.

It could be done that way, but I personally put other stuff in the android folder on my Mac, and also it's a bit quicker to just drag a file into one folder on your desktop than into a folder within a folder

You won't be able to install the SDK, but you can extract the android.zip to a folder named android on your desktop or wherever and use that in place of the SDK step

Actually, that's a PowerPC Mac, so Intel OSX software will not work.
There is no official support for PowerPC that I know of, but someone on XDA did make binaries for PowerPC.

Hi thanks so much for this. Ive been wanting something like this for months/ almost a year.
All the other guides didnt work for me, but this was simple and easy to follow.
Ive encountered one problem and its device specific. My nexus 7 tablet works great with adb, but my htc evo 4g lte doesnt. its rooted, and running cm 10 4.1.2. its debugged any idea how to make it see the device?
UPDATE. so i turned on my usb storage on the device and it now sees the phone. Great work!!!!
Am i going to have to connect storage to mac all the time for this to work on any device?
Hey guys, I have worked out a way for everyone who as been upgraded to the htcdev hboot to be able to downgrade for revolutionary s-off
This seems like a lot of hassle but it doesnt really take that long, an hour max if you follow my instructions to the T
But first....
Code:
DISCLAIMER
I or anyone else on this forum is not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in the products you find here before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. Your warranty will be void if you tamper with any part of your device / software.
I love the cyanogenmod disclaimer
anyway, this is what you will need to get the job done.
Requirements
1. This downgrade package.
2. HxD hex editor- from here .
3. A working android phone to help with making the gold card, and/or a known working sd card that is compatible for being a gold card.
4. A ok/great knowledge of adb/fastboot commands/
5. A htcdev unlocked bootloader follow my previous guide here.
6. cwm recovery installed.
7. superuser installed.
8. downloaded package moved to c:\ on your hard drive. so it will look like c:\adb\ #all the stuff ect#
ok, so....
step 1. Connect your buzz up to your pc with usb debugging mode enabled and the device set to charge only.
step 2. open a command prompt and cd to your adb folder using this command
Code:
cd c:\adb\
step 3. enter the following commands one at a time. copy paste is recommended.
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img
step 4. ok this will have pulled your misc.img from the device to your adb folder. so now we need to hex edit it. open HxD or your preferred hex editor and click file/open and travel to your adb folder in c:\adb\ and select misc.img
step 5. this is crucial. we need to edit line 11 to state that our software version is lower that it actually is. i have set this to 1.11.111.1 as a default position. we also need to over-ride the HTCU with just .... so, take a look at the picture

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here i have my original on top and our desired ending on the bottom. In order for us to correctly change only the values we need we must hi-light
only the values we want to change, one at at time. for example
If you look on the left in the hi-lighted area you will see that their is gaps in the red edited area that is still black. that means that point has not been changed. this is what we want. we get this by hi-lighting one number at a time on the right panel thats hi-lighted and replacing it with the vaule we want.
once we have done that we can hi-light the HTCU and replace it also with just
Code:
....
. after this use file/save as and save the file as Nmisc.img. it should ask to save in the directory that your old misc.img was in but just make sure when your saving it that its in c:\adb\ .It must be this or the future commands will not work by copy paste
step 6. now we need to make a gold card. if you already have one, you can skip this part. first using your working android phone, download and install Goldcard helper from the android market. Run the app and copy down your sd cards reverse cid.
step 7. now go to this website here and enter in your reverse cid. it will then let you download a goldcard.img.
step 8. now go back to our c:\adb\ folder and run the goldcardtool.exe, this will flash the goldcard to your sd card. Warning! this will format your card!!
step 9. once that is done we are now ready for the final push
place your Nmisc.img and flash_image onto your sdcard and boot into your stock rooted rom.
step 10. with usb debugging still on and the phone set to charge only, open a command prompt and cd to c:\adb\ again.
step 11. issue the following commands one at a time. you will know they have been successful as the command prompt will return a $ or a # when ready.
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/Nmisc.img
exit
exit
adb reboot bootloader
your phone will now reboot into the bootloader and you will see that you are locked oow again. this is normal as this is the HTCU we deleted
step 12. The last stand
issue the following commands
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.01.zip
fastboot flash zip 1.01.zip
fastboot reboot
after the first fastboot flash zip 1.01.zip is issued it will stop, saying the image needs to be flushed again. this is normal and is what we are aiming for just fastboot flash zip 1.01.zip again and we will be good to go!
This process will downgrade you to a WWE rom version of hboot 1.01.0001 and will leave you ready for revolutionary s-off!
follow this guide for revolutionary
video here sorry for the jumpy camera, i couldnt find my camera stand .......
special thanks to everyone on xda that has done misc downgrading in the past, thanks to everyone involved in the goldcard process, for apps, websites and tools, Cyangenmod for the disclaimer and thanks to xda for hosting one of the greatest forums I've been on
Heh. I guess no one really needed to downgrade then.....

This thread is for downgrade from hboot 1.02.0000 to hboot 1.01.0001
not from hboot 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001.

Your goldcard has failed. You need to either select mmc1 in goldcard tool if available (the other patching option) or your sd card is just not compatible with being a gold card and you will need to source a new/different one. Make sure to use official SanDisk sd cards as cheap knock offs tend to fail at being goldcards.
When you make the next gold card don't re-run all the steps. Proceed from fastboot reboot ruu and it should be ok. If you get a software is "older than current" failure next time then repeat the guide from flashing the new edited misc.img good luck :beer:

Hi guys,
I present here with small tutorial to backup your sdcard and your applications with their data. For this you'll required to know adb commands which I've posted in Moto G Index thread which can be found here. (I've too referred it and learnt about this process. Even you can create many more if you are crazy like me )
Backing up sdcard and your applications with their data is essentially process to keep them safe in case something goes wrong with your phone and need to be wiped.
I know that there are lot of other third party apps like Titanium Backup, Helium etc which are available in Google Play Store which can do this task.
But this method is safe, easy, reliable and works on stock and rooted devices.
Before starting, you need to download the zip which is attached in this post or you can also download Android SDK and install it on you PC and work on this commands.
Now, Go to Settings --> Developer options --> Check "usb debugging".
Connect your device to pc.
Backup & Restore sdcard
Backup :
Open a command prompt (shift + mouse right click) in "sdk platform" or in the folder downloaded from here, and type
Code:
adb devices
Press ENTER Key. You must see your device serial number. If you don't see it, probably your device drivers are not installed properly on your PC.
Now type
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/
This command will pull your sdcard (not move or cut) to "c" directory under "sdcard" folder.
This process may take time depending upon the size of your sdcard. Please don't abort it until finishing.
Restore :
Open a command prompt (shift + mouse right click) in "sdk platform" or in the folder downloaded from here, and type
Code:
adb devices
Press ENTER Key. You must see your device serial number. If you don't see it, probably your device drivers are not installed properly on your PC.
Now type
Code:
adb push sdcard /sdcard/
This command will push the "sdcard" to your device.
This process may take time depending upon the size of your sdcard. Please don't abort it until finishing.
Hit thanks if you find this useful.
Backup & Restore Applications and Their Data
Backup :
Open a command prompt (shift + mouse right click) in "sdk platform" or in the folder downloaded from here, and type
Code:
adb devices
Press ENTER Key. You must see your device serial number. If you don't see it, probably your device drivers are not installed properly on your PC.
Now type
Code:
adb backup -apk -noshared -all -nosystem
Now look at your device and accept backup process. (You can continue without entering the password)
Wait until finishing.
This will backup your apps and their data to the PC (a "backup.ab" file will be created in the same folder).
Restore :
Open a command prompt (shift + mouse right click) in "sdk platform" or in the folder downloaded from here, and type
Code:
adb devices
Press ENTER Key. You must see your device serial number. If you don't see it, probably your device drivers are not installed properly on your PC.
Now type
Code:
adb restore backup.ab
Now look at your device and accept restore process. (If you entered the password while backing up, you need to enter it while restoring)
Wait until finishing.
This will restore your applications and their data to device.
Hit thanks if you find this useful.

Sorry for late reply mate.
But your backup file is saved where you adb and fastboot files are present!
It's in the directory where you had launch adb cmds to start the backup process.
If you don't find it still search it in C:\ drive or else your backup process was aborted because of failure.
It works for me, and you usually get prompts on your device to start the backup process and also get the prompts to restore the backup.
If you are facing more issues, PM me

Verizon
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device by doing this! If you break it, brick it or just plain blow it up. it is your phone and your responsibility for what happens to it.
Here it is. Full Verizon With Root - since this is Verizon based all bands should work as well
This is Based on the Verizon PH1 Firmware and is Completely Stock and Unmodified
To Avoid Repeat Questons. READ! READ IT AGAIN! and then READ it once more! if you do not Understand any part of this. Do Not Continue!!!
This Guide assumes you have some basic knowledge and can at least copy and paste for the most part! It is Intended for advanced users!!!!!!!!
This Guide also Assumes you have an sdcard inserted in your phone(however some of you may not and this will not work.)
This Does NOT Trip Knox.
Read this entire post before doing anything to avoid issues and FOLLOW Directions - if you don't things will not work right.
Note! if at anytime during the following steps you see the samsung boot animation before step 11. start over cause you screwed up!
Step 1. Initial PreSetup Requirements and Downloads
Make Sure your ExtSDCard(the one you put in your sim tray) is formated exfat(backup your card before you do this in windows or linux(whichever you use))
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732237653 bbx.rar
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24723785898787028 Verizon_System.rar
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24713784966775399 Verizon Bootloader
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24713784966775400 Verizon Modem
Step 2. extract system.rar and bbx.rar and then copy system.img and bbx to your extsdcard(the sdcard you inserted into your phone)
Step 3. odin sprint userdebug firmware available here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/how-to/root-super-leaky-bros-sprint-galaxy-t3447202
Step 4. Directly after odin is done with the sprint file you will immidiatly be presented with an update screen
Step 4a when this process of erasing your phone is finished it will reboot(this is the point you want to do the next step)
Step 4b. press and hold power, home and vol up to enter recovery
Step 4c If you see the samsung boot animation. you did NOT do this right and i would suggest you start over
Step 5. open a command prompt in your adb folder and do the following steps 1 at a time(these are case sensative)
Step 5a. adb shell
Step 5b. su
Step 5c. setenforce 0
Step 5d. export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
Step 5e. mount -o remount,rw /
Step 5f. on your phone, go to apply update from sdcard(this will mount your extsdcard as /sdcard and you should see the system.img file and the bbx file) do not select anything, go back to adb and continue(it is not a big deal if those files don't show. we just needed the extsdcard mounted as sdcard - the files exist, just continue to the next step)
Step 5g. cp /sdcard/bbx /sbin/bbx
Step 5h. chmod 777 /sbin/bbx
Step 5i. cd /sbin
Step 5j. ./bbx --install /sbin
Step 5k. umount -l /system
Step 5l. /sbin/dd if=/sdcard/Verizon_System.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/system
Note. you will see a blinking cursor. just be patient
Step 7. when it is done you will see something similar to this
11161600+0 records in
11161600+0 records out
5714739200 bytes (5.3GB) copied, 268.668086 seconds, 20.3MB/s
Step 8. if all went well you should be at your prompt and not in adb anymore
Step 9. from your command prompt simply type
Step 9a. adb reboot bootloader
Step 10. open odin and click the bl button and select this file - BL_N930VVRS1APH1_CL8720001_QB10528330_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Step 10b. now click the cp button and select this file - CP_N930VVRS1APH1_CL8720001_QB10528330_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Step 10c. now click start. it will reboot when done let it fully boot this time.
Step 11. once booted and you have setup your phone, first we need to enable usb debugging
Step 11a. to do this go to settings>about device or device information and tap the build number repeatedly until it says dev options enabled, now backout of about and go into dev options and enable usb debugging
Step 11b. Now we need to add the root files or supersu as most of you know it
Note! pertaining to Step 12. these instructions were taken Explicitly from @freeza thread which is listed in step 3
Step 12. Now we need to add supersu and the needed files for it to work
Step 12a. download this file - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732236679
Step 12b. Extract the sun7 file to your adb folder making sure the files are in a folder called sun7(mine looks like this - c:/adb/sun7 and contains 4 files)
Step 12c. Open a command prompt where your ADB executable and sun7 folder are.
Step 12d. adb shell
Step 12e. su - Note! if your adb prompot changes from a $ to #(you are good and have root access)
Step 12f. type exit twice to get back to the command prompt. - Your Phone should be fully booted when you do this
Step 12g. adb push sun7 /data/local/tmp/su
Step 12h. adb shell chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/su/*
Step 12i. adb shell
Step 12j. cd data/local/tmp/su
Step 12k. su
Step 12l. ./root.sh - Note. this command begins with a . do not leave it out
Step 12m. Your Phone will now reboot
Step 13. when booted back up go to playstore and install busybox on rails or a similar app and install busybox to /system/xbin(if your given an option of where to install it)
Step 14. Thats Pretty Much it. most of all enjoy it
Additional Notes!
If for any reason you do a factory reset. you will break root and need to redo this method to get it back
If you use shealth do not update it or allow playstore or galaxy appstore to auto update it or it will break it
Enjoy and FOLLOW Directions - if you don't things will not work right.
thank you to the following:
@freeza - for posting the original userdebug file
@ted77usa - for testing
@bajasur - for the initial idea which ultimately led to this
@Surge1223 - for the busybox installer and the adb help and android commands that make this work
@galaxyuser88 - for testing this and pointing out some flaws
@Hashcode - for inspiration
and anyone i missed
this was a complete collaboration and is only available because of those mentioned so be sure to give them thanks

This Method Completely replaces the Sprint files with verizons. with exception to the kernel, recovery and the su binary. so everything once complete is now verizon and not sprint with verizon touchs thrown in to make it work.
as we don't have an unlocked bootloader, there is no twrp recovery. but flashfire takes it place. so any changes you want to make are basically done the same way as they would be for twrp except they are now flashed through flashfire.
to get rid of the security notice you will get(because the system is now rooted) simply install root explorer(or any root browser) and go to /system/app and delete securitylogagent or go into the folder and rename it adding .bkp to the end of the file name and reboot.
If you don't see the Verizon_System.img and bbx files after doing the apply update from sdcard on your phone. try this as it has worked for some on t-mobile
create 3 folders on your sdcard
create "files" inside of that, create one called "image" and then inside of that crate one called "file" so on your sdcard you would have /files/image/file and place the 2 files into it, you have to do this with the phone in recovery so just pop out your sim tray. plug the sdcard into your pc and create the folders and move the files into it, then force your phone into recovery(basically reboot your phone and instantly go into recovery) and start step 5 again. hopefully the files now appear and you can continue
now when you get to step 5g step 5l, you will need to modify them to reflect the new path to the files so it would now look like this
step 5g. cp /sdcard/files/image/file/bbx /sbin/bbx
step 5l. /sbin/dd if=/sdcard/files/image/file/Verizon_System.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/system
and continue on with the guide
Here's a video Tutorial done by @TechBSwift to help if you have any questions on how this works.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi-tuA_EIxA
Tested and working on my VZW Note 7 w/PH1 Firmware.
When you get to step 13, if you decide to go the route of using Busybox on Rails (free app) to install busybox then do the following (also see screenshot):
> Step 13a. If you're installing busybox on rails, it will ask you what you want to do and how you want to do it. Select "Cleanup & Install" and "Normal Method", then click "Next."
If you see "Custom" on screen while booting, don't worry, it doesn't indicate a tripped knox. It should go away after next reboot (after ./root.sh step).
You will probably get an annoying "Security notice" type notification after root (this is triggered by the root itself), if you want to gt rid of this download a root explorer (e.g. root explorer, root browser, etc.) and navigate to /system/app and delete the folder securitylogagent. Reboot and you should be good to go!

yea i would say like 10-12 mins also for everyone if you cant get past the very first part with adb and the files on the sd card and you know your sd card is formatted and did everything right its simply your sd card is carpped out in the sense of it shows in a computer but a phone wont notice it so throw that pos out and use diff one lmao other then that issue i had this **** is the easiest thing to do
---------- Post added 14th September 2016 at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was 13th September 2016 at 11:55 PM ----------
o also if the files dont show up on your phone when you hit apply update from sdcard dont worry their there just glitches out for some reason and doesnt show then only issue was the faulty sdcard i had which didnt show them either and then the new sdcard didnt as well so they may or may not pop up just continue
Once rooted, is it possible to implement the apps/features that Verizon removed and/or replaced when they decided to neuter our phone (Smart Manager, Force Touch, Samsung Cloud, Smart Caller ID, System Settings, etc.)? Personally, that's greatest impetus for me to root.

@OvrDriVE made Debloater.zip that you can flash using flashfire after you rooted for TMO .... he might be able to make for Verizon but might need to adjust the script little bit to compatible with Verizon device..... No more TMO bloatwares, less Samsung apps and knox free and still 0×00.[emoji4]

Note! the reason i did not just do a flashfire update to ph9 from pgc was i have no idea what was changed filewise. i was given the full on firmware so i literally remodded the new system.img, and updated the links for it and for the BL and CP files. This Will put you on the newest sprint firmware with root and everything working

Step 5d. export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
Step 5e. mount -o remount,rw /
Step 5f. on your phone, go to apply update from sdcard(this will mount your extsdcard as /sdcard and you should see the system.img file and the bbx file) do not select anything, go back to adb and continue(it is not a big deal if those files don't show. we just needed the extsdcard mounted as sdcard - the files exist, just continue to the next step)
Step 5g. cp /sdcard/bbx /sbin/bbx
Step 5h. chmod 777 /sbin/bbx
Step 5i. cd /sbin
Step 5j. ./bbx --install /sbin
Step 5k. umount -l /system
Step 5l. /sbin/dd if=/sdcard/Sprint_System.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/system
Note. you will see a blinking cursor. just be patient
Step 7. when it is done you will see something similar to this
11161600+0 records in
11161600+0 records out
5714739200 bytes (5.3GB) copied, 268.668086 seconds, 20.3MB/s
Step 8. if all went well you should be at your prompt and not in adb anymore
Step 9. from your command prompt simply type
Step 9a. adb reboot bootloader
Step 10. open odin and click the bl button and select this file - BL_N930PVPU1APH9_CL8706608_QB10711091_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Step 10b. now click the cp button and select this file - CP_N930PVPU1APH9_CL8706608_QB10711091_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Step 10c. now click start. it will reboot when done let it fully boot this time.
Step 11. once booted and you have setup your phone, first we need to enable usb debugging
Step 11a. to do this go to settings>about device or device information and tap the build number repeatedly until it says dev options enabled, now backout of about and go into dev options and enable usb debugging
Step 11b. Now we need to add the root files or supersu as most of you know it
Note! pertaining to Step 12. these instructions were taken Explicitly from @freeza thread which is listed in step 3
Step 12. Now we need to add supersu and the needed files for it to work
Step 12a. download this file - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732236679
Step 12b. Extract the sun7 file to your adb folder making sure the files are in a folder called sun7(mine looks like this - c:/adb/sun7 and contains 4 files)
Step 12c. Open a command prompt where your ADB executable and sun7 folder are.
Step 12d. adb shell
Step 12e. su - Note! if your adb prompot changes from a $ to #(you are good and have root access)
Step 12f. type exit twice to get back to the command prompt. - Your Phone should be fully booted when you do this
Step 12g. adb push sun7 /data/local/tmp/su
Step 12h. adb shell chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/su/*
Step 12i. adb shell
Step 12j. cd data/local/tmp/su
Step 12k. su
Step 12l. ./root.sh - Note. this command begins with a . do not leave it out
Step 12m. Your Phone will now reboot
Step 13. when booted back up go to playstore and install busybox on rails or a similar app and install busybox to /system/xbin(if your given an option of where to install it)
Step 14. Thats Pretty Much it. most of all enjoy it
Note! now since your are rooted on stock, you are going to see security warnings. to get rid of these simply freeze securitylogagent or delete it from /system/app
Note! 2 atm you cannot update via ota to PH9, someone needs to get a hold of the update and fix it so it can be flashed via flashfire and make sure it does not replace the kernel
Additional Notes!
If for any reason you do a factory reset. you will break root and need to redo this method to get it back
If you use shealth do not update it or allow playstore or galaxy appstore to auto update it or it will break it
Enjoy and FOLLOW Directions - if you don't things will not work right.
thank you to the following:
@freeza - for posting the original userdebug file
@ted77usa - for testing
@bajasur - for the initial idea which ultimately led to this
@Surge1223 - for the busybox installer and the adb help and android commands that make this work
@galaxyuser88 - for testing this and pointing out some flaws
@Hashcode - for inspiration
@lightning413 - for the PH9 Firmware
and anyone i missed
this was a complete collaboration and is only available because of those mentioned so be sure to give them thanks
testing was done by @jamice4u - ty for confirming it works

This Method Completely replaces the Sprint PH3 files with the stock PGC. with exception to the kernel, recovery and the su binary which are still PH3 userdebug.
as we don't have an unlocked bootloader, there is no twrp recovery. but flashfire takes it place. so any changes you want to make are basically done the same way as they would be for twrp except they are now flashed through flashfire.
to get rid of the security notice you will get(because the system is now rooted) simply install root explorer(or any root browser) and go to /system/app and delete securitylogagent or go into the folder and rename it adding .bkp to the end of the file name and reboot.
If you don't see the Sprint_System.img and bbx files after doing the apply update from sdcard on your phone. try this as it has worked for some on t-mobile
create 3 folders on your sdcard
create "files" inside of that, create one called "image" and then inside of that crate one called "file" so on your sdcard you would have /files/image/file and place the 2 files into it, you have to do this with the phone in recovery so just pop out your sim tray. plug the sdcard into your pc and create the folders and move the files into it, then force your phone into recovery(basically reboot your phone and instantly go into recovery) and start step 5 again. hopefully the files now appear and you can continue
now when you get to step 5g step 5l, you will need to modify them to reflect the new path to the files so it would now look like this
step 5g. cp /sdcard/files/image/file/bbx /sbin/bbx
step 5l. /sbin/dd if=/sdcard/files/image/file/Verizon_System.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/system
and continue on with the guide

Still exciting, but I've kind of gotten used to not having to take my wallet to the grocery store
Everything in life is a trade off...

Same method for root this is not deodexed or debloated its stock. And Bluetooth doesn't forget after a reboot.
