Alright everyone,for those of you having issues to revolution on your Evo 3d and flooding the irc I figured id start this to compile everything.
Things I have noticed.
1. yes after the install your device to attempt a hands free activation,don't freak when is say checking for firmware update,it wont find anything!
2. You may have to do a battery pull after the initial flash/install. On Mine,the recovery did not install! Problem will be worked out im sure,this is a beta AND teamwin has their own recovery going on as well.
[ I have found the reason why the recovery is not installed is simply because clockwork is not support on the shooter yet.Do install a recovery use team wins recovery image and directions which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192077
Here is a simplistic break down on how to do this,I am not responsible for your actions!
Download the .img file found in the thread,make sure you also download the fastboot.exe and place it in the same folder as ADB for easy access. Once that is done,reboot while holding down your power + volume down button!
Fastboot menu will come up,the command you need it
fastboot flash recovery (location of file).img
For me it was fastboot flash recovery C:\Downloads\durka.img yes I renamed it durka because I dont like long names]
3. If you are having issues getting your serial number,connect it to ADB and do adb get-serialno
4. If you cannot get root,you will have to download busybox by stericson on the market. I had to manually sign into my gmail accounts so remember your passes!
[This is wrong,if you do not have root you need to have the teamwin recovery installed and you need to flash the superuser.zip file found on the forums. If you are having issues installing,make sure signature verification is unchecked,then once reboot install busybox]
All apps that I have that require root are working for me, just waiting on a deodexed rom. Even SetCPU is working,but I dont have the custom kernel installed,which could actually be easily doable now!
And I leave the thread to y'all
Well, I can probably help troubleshoot. Rooted and installed teamwin recovery first try. Doing a nandroid backup now.
I can also help people troubleshoot, I am also rooted and have teamwin recovery going!
N e 1 kno how to do this with a mac?
D3VO
Rooted and recoveried on first try. Doing my compressed NAND backup now. (I like the fact that it can be compressed...but it's slow as hell lol)
Yeah, I was a tad concerned at first about the hands-free activation notice, but everything was smooth like buttah... Thank god I remembered my passwords!
My issues:
First try: I got all the way to the part where the phone is taken to hboot and fastboot usb is selected. I was getting a red X for the driver not being installed bc I didn't have HTC Sync installed, so I cancelled revolutionary, rebooted my phone, installed htc sync on my pc, and tried again...
Now, after rebooting both my phone and the pc, I can't get past the initial "Acquiring Root" step.

A few of us are stuck on --- Acquirig root ( method 3) -- Any ideas???
only issue I've found is that Titanium Backup refuses to work on my phone.
yes, I flashed the SU package found here, and also tried the Busybox installer from the market.
besides that, everything's working great, already nandroided my stock setup and my WiMax partition while waiting for the ROMs to drop!

In the new sdk adb is in platform-tools folder, so here's what I did. I moved fastboot and twrp recovery to platform-tools folder, renamed the recovery image to recovery.img and pressed shift while right clicking on the platform-tools folder and choose open command prompt(or window) here. Then just type flasboot flash recovery recovery.img and press enter. Worked for me.
I see what you did...you have to type "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryhere.img" and it will work. Make sure the recovery image is in the same folder as fastboot.

Did you unroot the temp root before installing Revolutionary? This might be the cause because attn1 from AlphaRev told me to unroot and factory reset to get rid of all the temp root stuff before running Revolutionary.

I went through the steps and now phone is off and wont turn on. When connected QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager.
Do we need to have the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers for this exploit to work?
Thanks ahead of time.
EDIT: Did a battery pull and started over from begining. We now have S-Off!!!!! Failed to install CWM but I will install TWRP
Does Amon Recovery work? If so, can we get instructions for that? If not, instructions for CWM.
Thanks,
Mike
Oh okay, I failed.
When I did that it just came up with a list of commands
If your phone wont turn on you probably dont have your fastboot drivers installed. Do that first
AS for amon RA recovery that hasent been built for the shooter yet. If you want cmw just keep running the revolutionary application and it will ask if you want it to flash CMW

So that means that you should opt out of the CWM install and install TWRP after doing s-off? Would be nice if we had full instructions: including what to select/install during the revolutionary exe.

You can flash cwm through adb. Adb might be buggy through recovery it was at first. I'd post on the twrp thread to see if a someone has an idea
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I had this problem myself today and started freaking out. After a brief 15 second panic attack I realized I could side load. I have twrp and sideloaded very easily.
I used the all in on toolkit listed in the android dev section and cleanrom 1.5. I put cleanrom on my desktop and renamed it to Rom.zip. I started the aio tool which has a button for sideloading a Rom. Boot the phone into recovery and plug it into your pc. (I am assuming you have the HTC drivers installed) From TWRP click on advance and the adb sideload. Then click the side load button on the aio tool. This will attempt to reboot your phone first but since you're already there just close the command prompt that comes up. A new window will come up for you to chose the zip. Navigate to your desktop and pick the zip you put on the desktop (longer paths seem to cause issue with sideloading). Then it will push the zip to your phone. The command prompt on your pc will have a percentage progress. Once done just flash that zip like normal.
I had to reboot my phone using the volume down power button method before I could get back to twrp and the install froze once in Aroma. But I just flashed it again and it worked. Once I got it back I just put my backup back on the phone, booted back to twrp, and restored my backup.
Sorry if this seems unorganized, had two toddlers crawling all over me while. typing. Using the AIO should work

Here is a simple, easy guide to install a custom recovery and root your device after achieving S-Off using the RevOne method.
**Moonshine installs all the SU/busybox binaries needed for root. So if you merely want a custom recovery you can follow this guide up to Step 7.**
Takes less than 5 minutes and is really easy. First, go to one of these threads and download either classic or touch CWM CWM Recovery or TWRP if you so prefer TWRP Recovery
Step 1. Rename recovery file recovery.img *Note: If using Win7 or 8 it hides known file extensions by default. Take care to not rename the file to "recovery.img.img"*
Step 2. Move file to your folder containing fastboot.exe on your computer
Step 3. Make sure phone is plugged in to USB port and USB debugging is turned on.
Step 4. Open a command prompt and type in: adb devices
Step 5. If device is listed type: adb reboot bootloader
Step 6. Using the command prompt, cd to the directory that has your fastboot.exe and recovery file *example: cd C:\sdk\
Step 7. Once in the bootloader type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Step 8. If everything goes as it should, the recovery should be installed. On the bootloader screen you are currently on navigate to and select the BOOTLOADER option. Once it takes you to the new screen, navigate to and select RECOVERY
Step 9. Once it boots into recovery, select reboot now. It will prompt you to root the device. Select Yes.
Step 10. Phone will reboot. You now have a custom recovery and are rooted. Go to the play store and download either SuperUser or SuperSU. I prefer SuperSU, but it is entirely up to you.

Enjoy!!
Really nice guide. Thanks for writing this. It's also exactly the same steps one would use for TWRP, if someone is wondering about that. Just use the TWRP file and rename to recovery.img.

I've done this a 100 times but for some reason I'm getting the error "error: cannot load 'recovery.img'".
What's going on?
I did the RevOne method yesterday.
Edit, it happened with both CWM and TWRP.
After the RevOne method, my phone says **UNLOCKED** and S-Off, however is it possible that I'm not Unlocked?
Edit 2, what's really weird is that last night, I used the "All-in-one Toolkit" to flash the TWRP recovery and it worked just fine. I'm actually in the TWRP recovery right now. And then once I rebooted from recovery, it did NOT ask me to root/install SU.

Do you use Win7 or 8? By default it hides known file extensions. So if you renamed it to "recovery.img" it might actually be "recovery.img.img".
Also I believe the all in one kit installs the SU binaries for you... I wouldn't know as I don't use one clicks or kits.

I get the attached error. Is something wrong ????

You're not s-off or unlocked...
Alright, so i have an EVO 4g lte and i attempted to root it today. It didnt turn out very well to say the least... I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery.I then flashed superSU, and at the same time i flashed a custom rom and gapps zip. Then hit reboot. It has not booted up since.. It will just sit at the white HTC screen. i tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, also did a factory reset. tried flashing cm10 rom onto the device as well as a rooted stock rom. nothing works! the farthest i have gotten was with the cm10 rom and it went to the cyanogenmod boot logo but was in bootloop still. I downloaded the ADT tool bundle but the phone wont show up on the device list. Can anyone help? im completely stumped.. Im fairly new to rooting and custom roms, but i have rooted multiple tablets and samsung galaxy phones and havent had any issues. this is my only phone also, i just gave my backup to my mother because her phone broke... please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. when i boot into recovery mode it says Tampered and Unlocked at the top as well as S-On. I can also go into TWRP recovery with no problems. just cant use fastboot with my computer (windows 7 PC).
I am pretty sure i know what i did wrong, I flashed SuperSU to gain root at the same time i flashed the custom rom and gapps.. on all the other devices i would reboot after root and then flash the custom rom seperately.. but is there a way to correct my mistake?
Since you are s-on you have to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel first and then flash CM and gapps
Any questions PM me
OK sorry to be a noob but how do I do that? I used cmd.exe while rooting but now it won't recognize my device. Much thanks for any help!!

Sounds like a driver issue
1.Uninstall everything HTC from your PC
2.Reboot your PC
3.Plug your phone in and it will load a bunch of drivers
4.Try the command again
If that does not work get the latest drivers from HERE use the ones dated 6/6/13
and don't forget the BMP drivers towards the bottom of post 1

yes they are talking now. fastboot devices and my phone shows up.
i tried fastboot flash boot.img but it wont recognize the command, i placed the boot.img file into the platform-tools folder inside my C drive. what am i doing wrong? its late at night and im frustrated so i know im screwing something up...
ok good BTW which version of twrp are you using? Let me know before you continue.
pull the boot.img from the rom zip and copy it to the folder you opened your cmd window from
then type fastboot boot boot.img
once it says successful press the power button to return to HBOOT and use the vol keys to navigate to recovery
Once there choose wipe and wipe cache/dalvik cahce/system/data or factory reset depending which version of twrp you are using
then flash CM and gapps
C:\Users\Corey>fastboot boot boot.img
cannot load 'boot.img': No error
thats what i typed in and thats what it said back to me. not quite sure what the problem is.
the boot.img is placed in the same folder as the fastboot application

same thing, cannot load unknown error. also i am using twrp 2.6.0.0
Ok lets try something different at least it will get you up and running
Get twrp v2.4.1.0 from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel
put it in the same folder you are using and we will downgrade your twrp for now
copy and paste this in the cmd window
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-jewel.img
then fastboot erase cache
ok got the twrp done succesfully as well as the wipe cache. whats next? i think i figured out what i was doing wrong, i hadnt opened the file directory. cd downloads, cd android files, etc.
should i try going into recovery now on the phone and flash a rom, or should we stay on fastboot and push the boot.img?
Easiest way to open a cmd window is to press shift and right click inside the folder and choose open cdm window here
That way you know you are in the correct folder.
Yeah go ahead and try to flash the boot.img again
I kinda messed up about a month ago, I was wanting to root my HTC One so I could try some custom ROMS and experience other cool stuff
However, Me, feeling nervous decided to go the Cyanogenmod Installer route (You know this isn't gonna end well). And so I plugged in my device and everything was good and fine until It was unlocking my bootloader, it seemed to do the HTCDev one, I got the option to unlock it or lock it, and as soon as the device restarted the phone disconnected.
Some apps went missing, however I recently had a talk to a friend who said that is normal, and he recommended me to come here to get some help.
I can boot into the bootloader where you can go into fastboot and stuff, I can factory reset through the Android OS once its booted, however when I enter recovery in the bootloader, the screen goes black and a red exclamation mark shows up for about 5-10 minutes and then the device reboots into Android.
The same thing happens when I try to get Over the air updates, I can still get OTA updates, they just don't install.
So what I'm looking for is, can I relock my device and get it back to how it was before I ran Cyanogenmod installer and then maybe I can try root it manually and have more control over the situation.
I hope you guys can help me and I hope I can find a place on this forum
Thanks in advance guys!
First of all, it seems you shouldn't have started to mess with this at all...
now to fix this...
Download the latest recovery of your choice e.a. twrp. @ http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 the normal one is the m7 i suppose? else go to the right section...
save it to your /sdcard directly or move it there. than for the eaz just rename it to twrp.img
open an terminal if installed on your device and type
su
than
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 (note command for the m7)
if you however don't have the capability to install an app because of missing gapps... which sounds like it...
install adb/fastboot on your pc with the htc drivers..
download the recovery image with your pc and rename it to twrp.img and put it at your fastboot file
turn off your device
keep holding volume down until a menu shows up
select fastboot from the menu
attach the device to your pc
open cmd and type fastboot devices (to see if you actually installed the right driver... and that it's recognizing it)
if it does
type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
if that all succeeded, you can download gapps for the android version your using or flash something else with the working recovery..
goodluck!

First of all, it seems you shouldn't have started to mess with this at all...
now to fix this...
Download the latest recovery of your choice e.a. twrp. @ (It prevented me posting links) the normal one is the m7 i suppose? else go to the right section...
save it to your /sdcard directly or move it there. than for the eaz just rename it to twrp.img
open an terminal if installed on your device and type
su
than
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 (note command for the m7)
if you however don't have the capability to install an app because of missing gapps... which sounds like it...
install adb/fastboot on your pc with the htc drivers..
download the recovery image with your pc and rename it to twrp.img and put it at your fastboot file
turn off your device
keep holding volume down until a menu shows up
select fastboot from the menu
attach the device to your pc
open cmd and type fastboot devices (to see if you actually installed the right driver... and that it's recognizing it)
if it does
type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
if that all succeeded, you can download gapps for the android version your using or flash something else with the working recovery..

Thank you! Will there be a risk in ruining my device?
And thank you once again! I definitley shouldn't have messed with this, but you gotta start somewhere right?
If I never took the risk of building my own computer then I never could have done it Its how we learn.
Anyways, I'm not sure about the terminal bit, I don't run linux and I don't have a mac? So, how would I have access to the terminal. Unless I somehow got it on my device (I don't know how to do that).
And one more question, once I've done the things you've told me to do I can just put Cyanogenmod on it?
Thanks once again
Oh, and I have got Gapps, if my Gapps you mean Google Apps, yes I have I've got Google play services, Google play, hangouts etc.

Terminal should be on the phone, if not use command prompt in windows... u need to do a little research on the m7 forums which driver you need they probably have an m7 toolkit again if the one is the m7, as far as i knew it is.. than you could put the recovery.img in the folder of fastboot.exe and go there with command prompt and do what i've written before

erhm ofcourse you can, however just download the rom instead of an installer...
p.s. you got gapps.. install an emulator oh... better solution... install flashify download the latest twrp and install it with that if u have proper root that is!

Thanks I don't have root, I've run rootchecker, and it says I don't have root.
And what if I do Cyanogenmod but I want to go back to HTC Sense (Doubt it though)
Will instlaling the recovery root my device? If not, how will I root it?
Oh and, how do I get fastboot and ADB?
