it contains sqlite3 and busybox. without these binaries you cannot use titanium backup, or some other tools (Root explorer...)

do the evo 3d gsm's have a unlocked bootloader?
or does revolutionary make it unlocked, and then i use this for rooting?

the bootloader is factory-locked, but revolutionary released updated tool, that can unlock GSM version of Evo 3D.
if you unlock with revolutionary and install Revolutionary CWM, you can use this for rooting.
worked great for me now .0008 was broken, thanks!
God my Rogers EVO 3D unlocked and rooted with the ZIP file attached but TB won't acquire root privilege no matter what I do. All other apps are able to get root.
I suspect it's a problem with BusyBox.
I restored my backup to pre-root state and flashed su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-signed.zip then successfully installed BusyBox 1.19 via the BusyBox installer and that didn't work.
I also tried forcing TB to "Force system BusyBox" to no avail.
Any ideas?
thank you. this zippie worked and probaly saved me alot of hassle, work and research
Sorry no but thought it worth telling you that TB works fine on my Rogers Evo 3d after this...something unique to your phone maybe?

All tests I did with BusyBox showed it was working properly, but I ended up backing up my apps using MyBackup Pro and installed Virtuous 1.0.1 and TB is working fine on it so I won't spend any more time trying to troubleshoot it.
Thanks for the reply nevertheless.
kamma,
just wanted to extend a thanks to u for ur work on ur easy root!
Thanks for this!
Once I got Revolutionary Recovery installed (had a bit of issues on my work PC), I flashed this and it works like a dream.
Thank you for allowing me access to Titanium Backup. I had been missing it!
i wanted to know that if i S-OFF my htc evo 3d gsm will it leave a watermark or something on the phone letting people know that it was unlocked previously like the nexus one had an unlocked (lock picture) on the boot screen after unlocking its bootloader via adb...
many thanks in advance....
Hy Guys,
a long time i searched for a way to root my EVO 3D...now i found this way...but it dosnt work
I unlocked my Evo 3D via the official HTC method on htcdev.com, now ther will be displayed follwing things.
***unlocked***
S-ON
HBOOT 1.49.0018
.....
i´ve read it must be S-OFF, but if i want install the zip file to root my EVO, it look´s like an restart of my phone, after a few seconds ther is is green phone and arrows around the phone displayed and then there is a phone displayed on a black background with an attention symbol.
what i must do, to root my phone ?!
thanks

Hello i ran through the steps for rooting perm. with s-off and went fine until the end where u r asked Y/n, i hit Y but the install failed.
I have S-off but no root access and no clockworkmod. When i go through recovery it crashes and shows red triangle with ! in it and only pulling out battery allows me to restart. Phone boots fine - no superuser of course
If i try to run revolutionary.exe again it says my device is not supported.
I'm not really sure what to due or whats going on, please help.
Did you even read any of the guides? Cwm sucks dont use it, use twrp. Flash through hboot. Really easy. Super user doesn't get installed with revolutionary, you have to flash it yourself then you get root.

You are probably used to the one-click everything. Installs recovery, s-off, unlock bootloader and root.
What you did, sounds like JUST root. Next step for you would be to unlock the bootloader via HTCDEv. Once you do that you can install a custom recovery.
That's the current state of options right now.

do you have links? and that's what i'm trying to flash!
Is anyone having problems with rom manager in recover. I've rooted my HTC EVO LTE and unlocked the boot loader with HTC DEV. Then flashed recovery from rom manager. Then when I start recovery, rom manger recovery loads, but when ever I choose an option it goes no where and just sits with the hat. None of the options like reboot system, install zip from Sd-card, or advanced work. All of them take me to a black screen with hat and don't take me anywhere. What am I doing wrong. Any suggestions?
Attached is the error file that I get when I attempt to use recovery.
Do I need to partition my Sd-card in order to get it to work. It's been a long time since I did this, I can't remember if I need to do this in order to get it to work?

With S-ON, you can still do most things, you are just restricted with what you can flash in recovery (radios, kernels, etc). Unfortunately, most roms do not have working sprint hotspot, but wifi tether works just as well. I suggest finding a rom you like and flashing it, as long as you already have a custom recovery installed. Just let me know if you need further clarification on anything and i will elaborate.
Since you're soft rooted go ahead and download goo manager from the android market. From there you can download TWRP Recovery and have goo manager install for you. Simple... If you want S-OFF go here to use LazyPanda S-OFF method (prerequisites are required). Alternatively you can go here for all your EVO 4G LTE resource needs
Cheers

HTC dev unlocked is not a soft root.
Its not S-OFF, but its NOT a soft root.
htckron - You cannot get S-OFF with the 1.15 bootloader. I'm not sure why that was suggested to you.

This is the guide I used from back when I was first learning:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
Hello all, I tried searching but if I missed the thread please point me to it. I was able to unlock the bootloader using HTC Dev but I cant seem to install TWRP. Am I missing a step or something? I am running an HTC Evo 4G LTE on 3.17. I tried putting the PJ75IMG.zip in the root of the sd card but when restarted in the bootloader it read it and said main version is older. I tried using goomanager to download and install but that didnt work either. Am i doing something wrong here? Thanks in advance guys (and girls)!
fastboot flash it PJ75IMG.zip will only work if you are S-OFF
Put the .img file in the folder you are using to run the commands from.
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
OK. So fastboot is the best method. Then I can install super user correct? I dont HAVE to install a ROM if i dont want to correct? I can just run stock root? If I wanted to install a ROM would I need to be S-OFF? or could I install one while still being S-ON? It has been quite some time since I rooted a phone. Last phone was the Samsung Epic 4G. What a terrible phone. Thanks and sorry for so many questions.

I personally use fastboot to install twrp then when you want/need to update twrp you can fastboot flash again or use goomanager from the playstore.
You can install SuperSU and run stock rooted or flash a custom rom which has superuser added
As for flashing roms you can flash them while s-on it's just more work because you have to fastboot flash the kernel/boot.img then flash the rom.
I always recommend S-OFF as it will save you the extra steps in flahing roms and also if you mess something up you can flash an older RUU if the most current RUU is not available.
@FinZ28 has a great guide explaining how to flash the kernel/boot.img
OK, so now the question becomes what method for S-OFF should I use? I would like to be able to make it look like I never rooted the phone if need be if at all possible. I heard good things about rumrunner for 3.17. am i correct that this would be the best method or is there a better one? again sorry its been too long and this is my first HTC root.

OK so first install TWRP then SU then S-OFF? also i factory reset my phone the other day and now on some apps I have this weird menu bar at the bottom. it happens on my facebook app and bank app. it doesnt show up in Kik or play or sms apps. any ideas? i would like to remove that

Yes unlock your bootloader if you have not already
Install twrp
Flash SU
Then S-OFF(make sure you read all the pre-requisetes before starting rumrunner
As fo the weird menu it may disappear if you flash a custom rom
Ok so I came across another issue. I cant seem to get busybox to install. I would like to install cyanogenmod 10 and qbking mentions needing s-off to do so. Is that correct? It is a bit of a pain being on 3.17 but I guess there isnt much I can do. Any advice for installing busybox? Thanks again
I successfully installed Busybox on 3.17 last night. As far as having to be S-off to flash CM, no, you don't have to be, but it makes life easier. Hit the top link in my sig and read my Hboot guide if you haven't already done so.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
I read your hboot guide. Very informative. Rumrunner requires busybox and for whatever reason I cannot install busybox. Could you possibly eexplain what choices you made that worked? I tried installing to bin and xbin. Should I install to a custom location instead? If so where should I? I would like to be s-off and have cyanogen lol. Thanks again guys!

I'm not really sure what to tell you since I was already S-off when I installed it. Where did you read that it was required prior to running Rumrunner?
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
It was on the pocketables website. search "rumrunner HTC EVO 4g LTE" everytime I seem to try to install busybox my phone crashes.
Are you running just the stock rooted factory rom?
You could try Captain_Throwbacks 3.17 rooted rom or SharkieRom 3.17
Try this. Its a TWRP flashable zip of the latest Busybox (v1.20.2). See if that straightens things out with your issue. Make sure you have a backup handy just in case.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g16xuqbzbmzz8yz/busybox-signed.zip
You can use a file manager like Root Explorer and go to /system/xbin/ and look to make sure you see the Busybox file. If it's there you're good to go:thumbup: (I did not develop the Busybox file-I simply took the file and make it into a flashable zip. Big thanks to Rootlinux for showing me how it's done).

WTF: What are you doing?
Idk what I am doing wrong here. I couldnt even get it to work right using windows so I had to break out the laptop.
It gets to that point every time then fails and reboots the phone.
Software version: 3.17.651.4
Android Version: 4.1.1
Kernal Version: 3.4.10-gf5d846c
Is there anything else needed to help figure this out? Tis getting a wee bit frustrating. Can I S-OFF off if i flash cyanogen or any other rom?
Tried running Captain_Throwbacks stock rooted 3.17 and got the same result at the same exact point while running rumrunner. Going to try Sharkie next. Any tips are greatly welcomed!
Don't have much to offer since I haven't used Rumrunner. Having said that, make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port and not 3.0, and that you're using a fairly stock Sense ROM. Also make sure that you're phone is recognized with both ADB & Fastboot. Seems most of the issues I've seen have to do with the connection. If it fails, try try again. You also might want to check out the Rumrunner thread in original development.
Just a thought, but have you looked at your bootloader and made sure that you're still S-on? Reason I ask is because on Moonshine the "WTF: What are you doing?" message actually meant that the process was successful. Not sure if Rumrunner is the same.

I installed a custom recovery (twrp) and rebooted. And then rebooted back to recovery to flash the supersu zip, and then rebooted. I then saw I was supposed to use "su insmod wp_mod.ko" to make the root stick and I tried doing it on terminal emulator on my phone but I didn't work. I also tried running the command on my computer but it said "su" is not a command. So then I verified root, uninstalled some system apps to test out, rebooted, and the system apps were back, so therefore root didn't stick. And now that I tried to remove root and completely reset my device and install the stock RUU, it fails and gives me an error in fast boot that says "security fail ruu".
Can anyone help either help me fully root. Or revert to stock again?

The system apps, IIRC, are system protected. So even having perm root deleting them would have the same effect as having temporary root... I recommend you to flash this kernel mod and try removing system apps...

Okay, that's the file I had before but it wasn't in a flashable zip format so that will be handy!
So I need to:
1. Reflash TWRP Recovery in fast boot
2. Reboot back to recovery
3. Flash supersu.zip and then the wp_mod.no zip as well
And then I'll be good to go?

We've got a system 'S-off' so we can edit the /system in the stock rom, basically that link I sent you is 'S-off', but real S-off is turning of the hardware system protection allowing access to the whole emmc (i.e. it shows S-off in the bootloader), sadly the real s-off we don't have.

If you check out my guides you'll see that all of them involve flashing through TWRP because I had S-on, but if you disable system protection you don't need to flash anything and you can for example, use the Xposed write to /system/ installation mode or just install something like AdAway which needs access to the hosts file inside the /system/. S-off is not only useful for ROM development, but for speeding up certain things. But don't worry, you've acquired software s-off with that mod and it does even work/stay when flashing the a custom rom.
We do have full s-off. Sunshine s-off is compatible with the desire 610 unless something has changed. It just costs money.
You have not acquired any s-off with that mod, and they are two completely different things. That mod removes system write protection, which is important, yes, but is nowhere near as powerful as s-off. With s-off, you can flash new radios, sim unlock (supercid) your phone, etc. It's not something to mess around with though, unless you know what you're doing, as you can permanently brick your device with it into an unrepairable state (unless you have jtag).

Was it made for the Desire 816? I noticed using files for the 816 is fully compatible with the 610. And how much does it cost?

It was made for a ton of htc devices and works on pretty much all of them. Not any specific one device. It's an apk that you sideload and run, and it will tell you if it will still work or not. Also, updated my post while you were replying. And I believe it is $25. But you pay after it tells you if it'll work or not.

Oh that's awesome. Do I really need S-Off ? Like it's been so long since I've used an HTC that I forget what it's used for [emoji1]

Also, I downloaded Sunshine, and it failed to run the test because I installed Xposed. It says to remove xposed. Do I just remove it by uninstalling it in the system apps uninstaller? Sorry for all the questions, but thanks for a the help!
Edit:
I found to uninstall xposed in the xposed menu.

Sorry, at work. You don't really need it unless you're planning to change radios or need sim unlocked and can't use a code.

It's all good. Can it be used to reuse a SIM? Because I have a consumer cellular SIM in it now that my mom used before she gave the phone to me, so would it make the SIM usable?

We've got a system 'S-off' so we can edit the /system in the stock rom, basically that link I sent you is 'S-off', but real S-off is turning of the hardware system protection allowing access to the whole emmc (i.e. it shows S-off in the bootloader), sadly the real s-off we don't have.

What'd u mean the "real s-off"? I thought that's precisely what sunshine offers for $25?

Whole emmc access + it shows s-off in the bootloader, that's what I meant.

So if I follow (and I am trying to find more info elsewhere) are you saying this phone has additional locks at the hardware level that sunshine can't make accessible? I thought you could make it say s-off As well as remove the "tampered" status and the red text on boot? And even with all that I still thought $25 was a little high for a phone with so few development options.
