I have had my Evo 3D for a couple of months now and I want to root it. My questions are. Should I do it? What are some common problems if i do it? (example: when the evo 4g did not have 4g until they found the fix) What are some good ROMs up there?
I rooted my Evo 4g and traded it for the Evo 3D,so I have very little experience.
Thanks if anybody can give me suggestions

You aren't going to get an answer for this. All roms are different, and designed for different needs. The best thing about rooting is you can easily flash a rom, try it out for a few days, and if you dont like it, flash another.
I rooted mine a few months ago, just flashed a few roms this week
LeeDroids and King Cobra are very solid roms, Leedroids is harder on the battery tho.
I say do it... one of best phones only gets better once rooted.
dude, of course you should root it. when has an android platform been made worse by rooting?
if anything, it will fix it... because right now... yours is broken. injured. maimed.
flash eternity 1.4.2 and hit me up for some extra goodies to throw on top of it... kernelllzzzz
Thank you, I will root my phone. but one question, i went to the sticky's on the cdma android dev section and i don't know which process to use to root my phone.

It all depends on what hboot version you have. If you have hboot 1.50, you must use that method. If you have anything lower than that, you can use Revolutionary, which is MUCH easier.

Pretty easy to root 1.5 man
I have a few flashing scenarios that may help you out/clear up somethings once you get unlocked. See the "recovery issues" thread in my signature.

Lmao I have seen you pop up outta the blue you do a great job helpin folks man....
Absolutely...
I had purchased my EVO 3D to replace my EVO 4G - within one hour of purchasing I had rooted and installed the MeanROM v0.4. Basically if you are purchasing a piece of hardware such as a SmartPhone, you should have the capabilities of unlocking its potential. However, always NADROID the device.
Synergy or Viper and the instructions on this website worked pretty well to root it.

Yes you should!
I will put in my .2 cents that I run the Stock Rooted ROM 2.17.651.5, and since 2.08, this ROM moves MUCH BETTER. If you want a stock feel, I would run the OEM ROM.
only if you want to do wifi tethering.
when I was on Windows Mobile 5-6.5, it was always a benefit to install custom roms because of performance and abilities benefits...
but with Android phones, there isn't usually much of a benefit to custom ROMs.
With my EVO 4G, custom roms gave me better battery life and interesting interfaces... but also ran slower, more random reboots, GPS would randomly not work right, Google speach listening would randomly not work, and "tweaks" that just caused bugs. For the last 2 months of my EVO 4G, I ended up just going back to stock and the battery life was poor, but at least the phone worked as intended.
My EVO 3D works perfectly in stock mode and this phone naturally has good battery life (at least 3x more life than my EVO 4G) so its gonna stay that way. I did root for the wifitether app, but not gonna go further than that. Keep it stock man.

Another benefit to rooting & Stock Rooted, besides wifi tether, is the ability to remove HTC Bloat/stock apps that you don't need or use (T.I backup). If you need extra battery life, pickup a Seidio 4000mah battery ($55 on amazon).
I bought my evo 3d the day it came out....rooted as soon as it became available...haven’t done anything since....can some one point in the right direction to update to latest stock rom and keep my root....Thanks
Here ya go

Hi everyone, I know it may be stupid question but I was wondering what happens if I install different rom on my EVO 3D GSM?? Not ROms that cooked for EVO 3D but ROMs from different phones. Lets pretend if I install stock rom from HTC ONE X or Galxy S3 on EVO 3D? will it brick the phone? or phone wont start or anything else?
Thank you!

Its like putting diesel fuel into a gas engine. It will not run. You'd have to drain out all that fuel and clean everything, then put in the correct fuel to get it started. (IE a rom that was made for your phone)

Thank you! Can I change my engine without changing my car?
Has anyone tried it?
I know my TV has the ability to force video to 3D. While far from perfect it does help make use of the 3D. Was wondering if anyone has worked on something for the EVO 3D that allows forcing 3D.

That would be cool though, to have everything 3d even if it wasn't perfect.
Our phone does do that, but it doesn't come out good most of the times.

I have been running Cyanogen 7.2 stable for a while now, and it runs smooth as butter though the battery life isn't stellar. I've been debating for some time now where to go from here, but I don't know enough to do it.
If it's possible I'd like to try out a Jellybean rom, which one is the most stable? I saw so many I couldn't even begin to fathom.. Also what are the most stable ICS roms?
What is the most recommended kernels? There is just so much to pick from...
Lastly, I'm still using CWR 2.7.x.x from what revolutionary installed, is there something that would be more recommended, or is it possible to update CWR to the 5.x.x.x? (I'm most familiar with CWR though) Is it possible to use wizard's boothijacker, and is it recommended?
I just want to make sure I get everything right, and there are so many options to pick from, I figure the best way to decide would be from the horse's mouth. I appreciate everyone who takes time to reply.
Thinking you might be in the wrong section, this is for HTC EVO 4g LTE
Isn't the 4g LTE the sprint one with 4g that is also known as supersonic?
HTC EVO 4G is the HTC Supersonic, the HTC EVO 4G LTE is the HTC Jewel
