If the bootloader is already unlocked then 2 weeks

Agree. I say a week to two when an unlocked bootloader is around.

I agree.... about a week or 2
It can be rooted with a locked bootloader but only temp root.

Another astute XDA member noticed the radioshack training tutorials had a pic of the evo 3d in the bootloader and at the top it said "S-OFF"
take it for what it's worth.
Edit: I attached a screenshot of the website in its full resolution. Looks like it's the ENG bootloader.
Edit2: I've also attached an image at ~3x resolution
The glorious day will be when our phones look just like that at launch!!
S-off yum.

this is such a newb question... but what does S off mean? unlocked?

Security is disabled in the bootloader. Making the installation of a custom recovery possible. this means that we can flash custom files and all that good stuff.
That is gonna be sweet!
If you notice, it is an engineering sample. Right before it says S-OFF, it says ENG.
I am really hoping though it comes S-OFF.

I was about to say this. We hope that it's S-OFF anyway but most likely they used an engineering sample to make the manuals.

Bob, can you please tell us if the Boot Loader screen says S-ON or S-OFF?

@DigitalESP It says S-OFF.
To get to the boot loader screen, you have to power-up the phone after having the battery out. I could not get to the boot loader screen after a normal power-down. I had to pop out the battery, then re-install it. You get to the boot loader by holding down the volume-down button, then pressing the power button.

I didn't ask him if it said ENG, but yet another ray of hope that it ships unlocked or an OTA update has already been issued to make it so.

You have the evo's engineering bootloader on your phone, it will stay S-OFF even if you use unrevokeds s-on tool. It also has extra fastboot command that the production bootloader doesn't.
Another thing to look at is the hboot version. The one in the radio shack pictures is the same as, or slightly newer than, the one I the leaked ruu.

No. HtcDev ONLY. Ever. Or don't root it.
Those be the options set before you.
One more thing I would like to see some light shed on is .....if we use HTC's unlock method it basically voids your warrenty......but if your phone is lost or damaged will it affect a claim through asurion....our TEP...........
what do you guys think???

See i think it voids your warranty with HTC themselves but because you pay for the TEP your all good. I don't think HTC informs Sprint who is eligible and who isn't. But plenty of people here that used HTC's method has gotten a replaces thru asurion. I know that much

I just had my EVO 4G replaced under warranty for a charging issue. Clearly rooted, the sprint tech turned my phone on & said "what in the hell!?" I had a CM7 based, ICS themed ROM on there. Still got replaced. He said i would have to pay to have my phone repaired if it ever needed that because it was rooted.
Guys as far as i noe no root for hboot 1.50 .......wait for ICS update

My concern with the HTC unlock method is that it is one more thing to fix later. It permanently shows the phone was rooted. So, if someone comes along and gets the root working again then what? Suppose next week they say, hey we got Unrevoked to work on the Evo 3d again but if you previously used the HTC method your screwed still.

New OS will most likely have a new HBoot which will relock any one who HTC unlocked in the first place... Crushing root and melting the phone... Causing the world to end by skynet and last but not least zombies................................
There will be a way to get around it... It takes time.... You obviously have forgotten this isn't anyone's job to unlock your phone properly . You bought it knowing it may have 1.5 or got it from insurance... It's the name of the game..... HURRY UP AND WAIT

If you guys read the latest method to unlock 1.5 it isn't all that bad, specially with the in OS application that was built. The warranty void is rubbish, it means nothing to anyone here, and yes you will have s on but everything you can do with s off, you can do with the unlock method.

Yeah when I did it after updating (1.5) accidentally it was not so bad. I mean I have to install with terminal on my computer but its not a bad way. Just 2 lines of typing to launch recovery. If there is a fix cool but if not I can live without it. Cheers.

We apologize for the issues you have experienced with the bootloader unlock for your HTC Evo 3D. HTC is aware that some individuals have been having difficulty with the unlock process and is current investigating the issue. At this time, we do not have an estimated time for a resolution.

The reason they made things like that to root was to keep the folks who don't know enough about it from doing it... They get tired of warranty claims when someone bricks a phone because the user had no idea what they are doing.. Same goes for people who overclock and push it too high and burn the cpu up...

That seems like a whole lot of hassle just to prevent a small fraction of it's user base from fully utilizing their phones.
I'm confident that we only take up a small portions of claims in their warranty department. Maybe they should put more effort into making a phone that keeps up with the competition and lasts.

My phone just blanketed my screen with a notification that there's a Service update. Simply written "The update is complete and changes will now be applied"
Kinda irked cause it didn't notify me that there was one that i could simply DOWNLOAD, no it just downloads it, and wants to apply it RIGHT away. What the hell is this new update? i'm pretty sure a'lot of you are going to see this pretty soon, otherwise i can only cancel it by pressing home, but it KEEPS COMING BACK.
Edit: should i really be scared about it? i mean the boot loader is already unlocked by HTCDev, should i REALLY care about this update? well besides getting rid of root... now that i think about it.. but then again. I might just let it do it so everyone knows what version it is, and what exactly it entailed. i swear if i get locked out of root from this ill get mad, but whatever. xD FOR SCIENCE!!!!!!! as it were
Edit2: sooo now im feeling kinda dumb, i just realized that it could have possibly just done a profile update itself, the notification went away after pressing ok, but the device didn't reboot. but then again i dont see anything that could have updated. WTf did i just experience? XD does this phone have some ability to update the profile or PRL itself?
Check your prl # in settings and tell us what it says
Edit: yea nvm that was deff. a profile update no worries needed your good

Also, One X is getting a SW update from HTC to remove the bottom menu bar. Wish we could be so lucky. Of course, I would wait til devs release a rooted version and never accept from HTC. I did think it was cool of HTC to address that promptly, though.

Just brought my white evo that had a manufacturer defect with the vibration function. And got it exchanged for another one and it came outta the box with hboot 1.12! I'm a very happy camper considering the first one I got came with hboot 1.15 outta the box. Now I just gotta root it and unlock the bootloader. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
