Is there any flashable hboot available for these devices yet? I would like to get rid of the pink "revolutionary" banner in hboot. Nothing against Alpharevx but if that banner were gone I could easily argue with Sprint that my View shipped with s-off. This won't become a problem as soon as we get a s-on patch but just in case something happens before then. I have already flashed the eng hboot on my Evo 3D which removed that banner. Any help is greatly appreciated
One more thing is there any talk about a View forum? Or are the Flyer and View so similar that they just created 1?

Hopefully we are next since the same temp root methods work!

AlphaRevx with the sensation, Unrevoked with the evo 3d. post 21 for a picture of evo3d with s-off from unrevoked member.
Don't expect S-OFF anytime soon from Alpharev. Just jumped into their IRC channel to ask about the Flyer:
[11:52] <clubtech> Sorry if this was asked before, but will alpharev support the HTC flyer?
[11:55] <@attn1> no plans atm clubtech
[11:56] <@kmdm> it's on my list, when time arise
[11:56] <@kmdm> to see if it can be done

hi,
just got my EVO 3D but dissappointed that i cannot seem to root EVO 3D,
i m stuck at getting S-off because my hboot is 1.49 xxx11
can anyone advise if i can use the root in the CDMA for GSM ?
or the GSM EVO 3D cannot be root at the moment,
You should never ever attempt using any kind of software, tool, program or anything that was designed for CDMA on a GSM device.
There's a high chance something will go wrong, and it could potentially brick your device.
The HTC EVO 3D GSM can be rooted at the moment (mine is), but it depends on which hboot version you have. Mine had hboot version 1.49.0007.
It seems like revolutionary doesn't support your hboot version (yet), so i'm not sure how you would go about gaining s-off and root (if its even possible).

If revolutionary doesn't support your hboot version yet, the only other published tool would be HTC's. I don't see the GSM EVO 3D listed on their site yet: http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ .
At this point, there might not be any published tool to achieve s-off which is required for persistent root access.
Sorry to be the messanger of bad news, but thats the latest information we have! Never hurts to tweet or write on HTC's facebook page politely letting them know how you'd like to use their product you purchased! Hope that helps!
A couple of folks were discussing hboot 0011 over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16960706#post16960706 starting at post 67 I believe. They used the HTCDev method (I personally cannot attest to this method, as I had 0008 and was able to use revolutionary). In any case, have a look there. They may be able to offer some advice! Good luck
Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we will change the world
I wonder if this means we are getting close to s-off on other newer htc phones.

At least ones with the new hboot.
I believe this is being discussed in the development forum, and so far no good news for reasons I cannot explain accurately enough

It is a working method for the EVO 3D to downgrade to an exploitable HBOOT. The Rezound has a ENG HBOOT which should give you S-OFF. It should be possible for the Rezound, just would need to know it's location of the hboot on the emmc.
Three is no current method of doing this on a Rezound. Follow the development thread if you want more info.
The hboot has debug keys which will cause it to brick the phone. If we got a SHIP signed ENG HBOOT, we would be golden.
Oh okay. I still think it will be done soon. The Rezound is still a fairly new phone
It's 5 months old 3 days ago, that fairly old in the world of Android. Being unlocked is nice but it's a PITA sometimes, s-off would be amazing but nothing yet. I still have hope.
cwm-4.0.1.4
recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2
twrp-shooter-2.1.0
4EXT-Recovery-Control-2.3.6
Other
I know this list is far from complete and the versions might not be the most current.. these are just recoveries that I have personally tried.
If you choose "Other" please list your Recovery of choice and why. Feel free to share experiences both good and bad with any of the above or others that you have used.
Note to Mod: This is my 1st attempt at a poll, actually it's my 1st Thread for that matter. I hope it is in the correct section and I did it (the poll) correctly. If not maybe you can help me out.
I am a new user to 4ext recovery coming from twrp 1.1.1. This recovery is by far the best since I am HTC unlocked with s-on, which renders downgrading my hboot pointless. 4ext takes some getting used to since it has way more options than any other recovery I have tried before but once you know what your doing its simple. Also it has lots of theming options which makes it even more unique. The app is well worth the $3 bucks even if your s-off.
I have cwm 4.0.1.4. on my EVO 3D. All thou I am s-off and have other possibilities I kinda got use to cwm from the days of my rooted Desire.

Hey guys just wondering if any devs have stated that they are working on achieving s-off for the evo lte?
" Is there any devs working on achieving s-off? "
*Are* there any devs working on achieving s-off?
please explain why do we need s-off ^_^

Me personally, I was wondering the same. We don't need it but I, just as I'm sure there are others out there, would prefer not to go the HTCdev route. It's really just a simple question the OP asked. If you don't know don't answer, or say "I don't know". I don't know. I had heard there were some people working on it but I haven't seen anything in quite a while. Me, I want CM9. I haven't rooted yet and I was hoping that at some point in the near future we'd have s-off and a fully working CM9. If CM9 comes before s-off I'll do the HTCdev.

Well to unlock the bootloader without htc knowing.
Isn't also easier to flash kernals through recovery,flash radios and firmware through the bootloader,without having to relock the bootloader and updating the device and then unlocking the device again?

It has been stated many times you don't need to be s-off to flash kernels, radios, splash screens, etc... basically the LTE with HTC unlock can do everything with s-on that a phone can do with s-off.
Back on topic, I was wondering the same but haven't asked (just waiting on the sidelines..) I would rather not go the HTC unlock route, but I'll probably do it just because at this point you can do it all with HTC dev unlock

Well I agree,but at this point it's about voiding my warranty,and also i used the evo lte for about five days with terrible 3G speeds and no 4g lte here in Miami,Florida,so I reactivated my evo 3d until there is 4g lte because there is WiMAX here.
there could be devs working on it, but without announcing anything until it's ready, just so they don't have to deal with the usual ETA questions

That's what I was thinking. I remember with the 3D and the 1.5hboot I didn't see anything about progress until it was done (I also wasn't looking for it because I had a 1.4, s-off, launch day phone). I think it will come in time, I'm not too worried though because there's always HTCdev to fall back on.

Any true dev wouldn't be wasting time trying to achieve S-off when the HTC unlock works fine. I rather have devs achieving good roms then wasting time on S-off just so "HTC wouldn't know"

Of course they would its all about hacking devices and the thrill of achieving what's not given to us.
