Moving to Q&A
I paid a guy in the mall $40 to unlock mine (Rogers GSM model), he emailed me a code.
i have a question, if i unlock the phone after flash rom, the code is it still work?
I unlocked on the stock rom, still unlocked after s-off, root, and flashing Virtuous ...should be unlocked forever I'm hoping

Hello, is it possible to unlock my bootloader without using the htc dev method? This because i don't want to lose my warranty! I know that after unlocking my bootloader i will need a different bootloader to root my device, this is no problem for me.so is there a possibility to unlock my bootloader without htcdev.com? My hboot and type of device can be found at the title of this thread.kind regards, a proud htc evo 3d owner( i have the device for two weeks now)!
I had the same problem. EVO 3D GSM + HBoot 1.49.0018
The Revolutionary method doesn't work and as far as I'm aware, the only way to unlock your bootloader is via the HTC Method. I have done this and rooted my device. I am now going to attempt http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495657
Sorry I can't be of more help. Extremely new to this!
thank you
Thank you for your reply! You have also vodafone, i think? Because of the hboot and the link you send me.thanks vodafone, for making it hard to root my device! I really won't use the htc method because i want to keep my warranty!
My phone is unbranded.
I was a little uncertain as to whether to root on the HTC Method but I just took the plunge. For me the ability to root surpassed the usefulness of the warranty.
Veevoh, how did you root your phone? I have an unbranded HTC EVO 3D GSM HBOOT 1.49.0018 with unlocked bootloader via HTC Method, but i just can't find a way to root. Did you downgrade to HBOOT 1.49.0007?

If your already unlocked via htc method then just flash a recovery, make a nandroid, and then flash a Rom. Take a look at the gsm development thread and spend a few hours reading to give you a better understanding of what the risk's and benefits are of rooting. Also as I previously mentioned if your unlocked and s-off and your on a stock Rom after you flash your recovery then just to gain root you can flash the Su.zip and then hit up the market and download busybox and you will have root on your stock Rom. I'd highly recommend making a nandroid backup as soon as you get your recovery on your device. Then make a copy of it and keep it on your pc just so you always have a stock backup to revert to and a copy of it.

No need for HTC unlock you.can downgrade you Rom with the old Rom version that comes with old hboot then use revaluation to s-off. I will post link to guide I used later.

cool, looks like i got lucky with my asda phone.
just for reference? , to get back to how the phone came , i just run the fastboot s-on command and then run the latest firmware update ruu and that should return me to hboot 1.49.0018 s-on locked?

Flash the stock RUU then go into bootloader and enter command fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 and you will be s-on again.
Note i have not tested the above command as dont want to start all over again but it should work.
Best way for me was
1. Root using htcsupertool
2. Then run ruu then root again
3. This turns your bootloader to .007
4. Then use I/O rev to s-off and install clockwork
5. Install your Rom
6. If you want to back to stock
7. Re run ruu takes you back to stock.
8. Then take the OTA updates takes you back to .018
7. Check forum how to s-on
This method prevents the RELOCKED bootloader just says locked
Hope this helps

Luckily i got the same hboot as yours from Asda too! Gonna have a go at this now to get s-off.
I just flashed a ruu and it downgrade my 3vo from .018 to .007. So I think you don't need to root the phone before.

Nah you dont. After downgrading to .007 i just used revolutionary to gain s-off and flash the recovery. After that you can flash a superuser zip and you'll have root.
So glad i did this, feels good
Hello to all,
I've been searching but as i'm noob in this, i have to open new post and hope to get some help...
I recently bought an EVO 3D (according to information on "phone identify" is model X515m) that have this:
*** LOCKED ***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT -1.49.0018
eMMC-boot
Oct 3 2011, 15:03:01
The Software Informations shows this:
Android version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense version: 3.0
From what i seen on other posts, this phone is locked, so if i want to change firmware i need to get S-OFF and make it UNLOCKED...
My questions are:
1. Since i bought this phone on ebay and don't have Portuguese PT-PT language, can i change firmware to have Portuguese?
2. Does i already have the last firmware?
3. Should i upgrade to another firmware that is improved? Battery with this one don't last much.
Thank you!

No before you can s off you need to unlock your bootloader via HTC dev first

And you once you've unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom recovery then you can download the ruu from football he has all the ruu's for the EVO 3d GSM and CDMA

Ok, just find his post... now i just need to know the right file to get...
Other thing, is possible for me to make a backup from what i have on the phone in case something went wrong?
Concerning the unlock i've already searched and i think i can do it.
Thanks
No s off will come second first pay a visit to HTC dev this is where you will unlock your bootloader and once that is done you will need to install a custom recovery and then you can flash a Rom

ok, i've managed to get the phone unlocked but now i can't obtain S-OFF
The revolutionary way don't work on my phone because i have HBOOT 1.49.0018 and they only have 1.49.0008.
The 4EXT Recovery Touch way, i download the file but i don't know what to do with it and even if this will get what's needed to install a stock ROM that have Portuguese language...
Can you please give me some help on this?
Thanks...
--------- ok, i think i have it done with 4EXT Recovery --------------
Now i just need to choose and install the new rom
Hey guys, can you explain in short and SIMPLE terms the difference regarding the results of these 2 rooting methods in the DEV Sticky:
1. [ROOT] RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter | Updated 06.04.12 Automated root
method. Unlock with custom recovery and superuser.
2. How to Root HTC Evo 4G LTE! [Windows/Mac/Linux] - by Zedomax
does one give more access or is preferable over the other? or will both give you the same result with a different way achieving it?
Help would be appreciated!!! THANKS!
I think one is just for Windows and as easy as clicking the file open, while the other is a little more complicated because you have to do a few quick commands, but it does work on all systems, Win/Mac/Linux
Could be wrong though.
edit: Woops, I think the RegawMOD will give you a custom recovery as well, while the other Zedomax just gives root.
The first method actually unlocks the device with HTC and adds a custom recovery(TWRP)so that you can flash ROMs and whatnot. The second option just roots and installs superuser and busybox.

I think Zedomax just roots your device and regawMod roots and unlocks your device with HTC dev. All depends what u want ... Root only or root and unlock
Regawmod does access the unlock features from HTC dev and will void your HTC company warranty but will allow you to install roms because it also installs a custom recovery

Regaws method gives you an unlocked bootloader a custom recovery superuser and busybox. Where as zedomaxes only gives you superuser and busybox and you have to go to htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader manually to install a custom recovery of your choice. In all honesty go with regaws method its super fast and super easy its litterally one click and it runs itself. I was one his testers and it was by far the most painless root and unlock ive ever done.

What if you rooted with zedomax can you use regaws to unlock bootloader? If no, then how can I unlock bootloader?

Yes, you can run Regaws right over Zedomaxs root.
Thanks for all these great answers.... Now.... To be also clear here.... Regaws WILL.. (technically and practically) void your warranty???

So since both go through HTCDev and store your phone's serial number, it really doesn't matter if you use Zedomax first vs. using Regaw's method (which uses dummy HTCDev accounts). I only want to make sure because I'd prefer to do a TB backup before wiping my phone.
But I thought unlocking w/ HTCDev wiped data, so if they both do that, is there any way to back up my apps before I root?

It will void your HTC "factory" warranty but if u have sprint tep then you can use the unroot and relock methods posted in the threads and you should be able to return them to sprint for repairs and such

In addition to what's been said above, I suggest downloading both and closely examining the code.
Then, try to understand each step (or ask if you don't), then do it manually. Understanding the steps will help you in the future if/when there are problems.

Unfortunately there is no method for gaining s-off without having to unlock first. However with this guide that ramjet73 put together you can have your phone s-off with "locked" bootloader by the time you finish performing the wire trick. You will have to have to unlock your phone and gain root first before you perform the wire trick. A lot of people have said that using a paper clip works the best. Well here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
Dont forget to hit the thank you button if I helped you in anyway and don't forget to drop a thank you for ramjet either.
Thanks for the referral jsparta26, but he's got a GSM model and my guide is specifically for Sprint S-ON phones.
If you had the CDMA version you could do the hboot 1.4 downgrade for S-OFF that requires bricking the phone but doesn't need HTC unlock. There was a "quick root" utility posted in the General Forum a few weeks ago that didn't work on the CDMA model with the Sprint ICS build installed but I don't know if it's been tested on the GSM model yet. Post #5 in that thread says it requires HTC unlock, but the OP never confirmed that in that thread or the original version he linked.
Maybe a GSM user knows of a way to get S-OFF on your model without the HTC unlock. Are you aware that the JuopunutBear wire trick resets your bootloader status to "locked" (at least on CDMA) even though you have to do the HTC unlock as a prerequisite? There is no indication on your phone afterwards that you were ever unlocked. Once you are S-OFF you can flash whatever hboot you want.

Thank you both for the info. I tried the htc quick root program but it said my phone was patched and failed. I was just wondering if I could just get root without unlock or s-off.

Hi All,
so i have an EVO 4G LTE with HBOOT 1.12, SW v1.13.651.1 710RD.
i just rooted the device using ZEDOMAX script, and i've been reading but i need a confirmation from someone that's been more active than me with an EVO 4G LTE. As of today, there is no S-OFF method that doesnt use the HTCDEV ?
i'm trying to unlock the bootloader without having to use the HTCDEV. I got as far as lazypanda but apparently they've replaced it with DIRTY RACUN and that requires HTCDEV as well. So is there any way to acquire S-OFF without using HTCDEV. Thanks in advance.
Although I'm not familiar with that root method, you should already be HTC Dev unlocked if you're rooted.
Getting S-off doesn't require HTC Dev, either (at least with Lazy Panda).

AFAIK there's no way to gain s-off without HTC unlock.
More importantly why is HTC ulock something to worry about . If your worried about your HTC warranty more than gaining s-off I would reccomend not rooting your phone at all
