I updated my Evo 3D to newest HTC Update 2.3.4 then unlocked bootloader and then rooted. I have Set CPU downloaded but unable to overclock. Can anyone help me explain how to overclock? Do I need to install a new kernal?
Yea you need a kernel like silverneedle, no lights and RCMIX.

Oops I didn't read that, currently there aren't any kernels for 2.3.4 that are overclockable, not until the source is released. If you want to over clock you'll need a 2.3.3.ROM and kernel.
Does anyone know of a kernal that will overclock or a ROM that will with updated EVO 3d unlocked rooted with stock OS 2.3.4? If you do I will donate. Also is there a hack that I can install for EVO hotspot built in. I have it on my EVO4g but not evo3d

On 2.3.4 you'll need to wait for the source to be released, you could try some wifi tethering apps from the market.

A even if you find one, you won't be able to flash it as HTC's (im assuming thats the one you used as you are 2.3.4) unlock method is half done and only lets you flash roms and other things, but not a kernel. This has been confirmed in other threads. So, like me, you're screwed if you want to overclock until a new revolutionary is released.

He may have flashed the update as a new ROM without updating the bootloader. Still had revolutionary and full root.

Wat?
I (like mostly everyone that has had the phone for a while, and can read) have full root, running a 2.34 rom, revolutionary unlock, TWRP recovery, blah, blah, blah.
Doesn't have anything to do with having to use HTC's unlock.

I unlocked the bootloader and rooted yesterday, because as a Mac owner, I got tired of there being few rooting solutions for the platform (didnt want to install Linux, or Bootcamp/Parallels for Windows, etc.).
Now, I really like a few of the roms that I got a chance to download and play with, but realized 4g, Wifi, and camera aren't working. I need to find a solution but it seems like flashing the appropriate kernels would be the only one.
Im just trying to start a discussion to remedy this problem because I'm sure I'm no the only one having it.

I kinda played around with some different roms yesterday, and like you guys said, only the 2.3.4 roms built around the rewer 2.08 update worked. Im really just waiting for the MIUI Rom to surface, but from what I understand, that might be a bit of a wait.

No, you cannot. I has been proved by him, me and others. Even using a modified 2.3.4 original from the OTA (just the sprint spyware removed) it won't flash at all. Look at his post. I tried that too and samething. Only thing that the official HTC unlock (with S-ON) is letting us do is flash a recovery and flash roms. thats it.

So what you're saying is; Once the source for the 2.3.4 RUU has been released, someone will eventually tweak it so that people who OTA updated/used the HTC unlock method will be able to flash kernels.

You're saying a modified stock kernel to remove the spyware will not flash correct?
Sorry but why would you want to root using their method? I rooted my 3d, in 15 min, a month before they released their method (which requires a contract be signed.)
I have to admit that I rushed a bit. I also got the phone the day that HTC released their method. I thought to myself - well this is supported by the manufacturer, so it must be legit, and relatively safe, (even with the void your warranty warnings - that's standard issue when you're fiddling with your stuff), because who wants the backlash of thousands of pissed off customers?

wow, two confirmations kernels can be flashed using the official htc unlock method via the bootloader and fastboot! looks like with the official htc unlock method, write access to the boot partition (where kernel is stored) is only granted while the bootloader is in fastboot usb mode, not in normal or recovery android mode?
interesting ....

Yeah. I've looked all over and still haven't been able to figure out how to flash kernels on a mac after using HTC's unlock method. I thought no kernels would work anyways, since the 2.3.4 source hasn't been released yet
Do what mikedavis120 said, run VM with XP or Parallels Desktop on your MAC.
I know, i know...probably sick of these questions by now...
So i typically went the s-off un-official root methods with evo/3vo. Im thinking this time around i want to take a different approach as my needs have changed.
Im much more interested in keeping stock rom/kernel for the time being and being able to use root apps (like tether).
The grey area for me is exactly what does the HTC method of unlock allow me to do? I understand its not S-off.
Is it possible to root my phone and still take OTA's? (via HTC unlock or other methods)
Lastly what is the downside to HTC dev unlock? i understand it marks the phone in some way as unlocked and voids the warranty?
thanks
I know for a fact you could have root and not have to do the HTC unlock.
So what exactly does HTC unlock do then, is there a way to root and still get ota updates?

Unlocking will allow you to: replace recovery, which opens up to much more you can do.

Unlock allows you to flash custom roms, like the Viper Rom.
Direct form HTC's bootloader unlock FAQ guide
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

Thanks ! I'm totally new to the scene (smart phones in general, must less the root scene). While I'm fairly computer literate, I feel like a toddler going "Ooo what's this? " "Why?" "Why?" "what's that? "
Not trying to be a jerk, but any thread with a [Q] should go in Q&A.

s-off allows you to flash radio's and kernels. Unlocking only allows you to flash Roms, and other things that don't effect the kernel or radio images.
IE, none of the aosp roms would be able to be flashed without s-off, because they use different kernels than the stock one.
Root works, and I have installed viperRom and it works well with a few mods that the stock rom doesnt have.
oh crap!! I didn't even think about not being able to flash AOSP without S-off. My only intention buying this phone was to be able to run AOSP ASAP.
But wait, are you sure about not flashing kernels? I thought people with the Evo 3d and S-on were able to flash kernels via flash_image GUI?
sent from my Evo LTE, usually.
So i rooted using the script...painless.
Just what i wanted, root but stock everything. Also picked up a app i saw in the apps section called voodoo something or other, that lets u temp unroot for updates/backup root. Sounds cool, hope it works. SU, wireless tether, and titanium all seem to work fine.
Maybe its just me, but i did notice the phone has some stutters now during startup and shortly after...prob just me

Root will always be available.
HTC gave us a root method
But the annoying thing is that HTC gave us a root method that wipes your phone first.
I'm still waiting for a new temp root exploit so that I can run Titanium Backup first before I do the dev unlock.
I wonder if anybody is actually working on one, or if everybody just takes it on faith that *somebody* must be.
I bet if the HTC method wasn't there, people would be trying harder to find one.

This tool works like a charm, and HTC has no idea you are rooted. I used it last night - took about 10 min. You pretty much download drivers and this app, and run the app. Very easy.

What's wrong with HTC Unlock?
I used HTC Unlock and it was a breeze. Given being a noob since this is my first HTC device i've tinkered with, it was quite painless
The only things wrong with it are that:
1. It wipes all your customizations so you have to start over from scratch, or from what some non-root backup app can restore which isn't much.
2. It doesn't give you S-Off, so you can't flash radio updates, but to me that's no big deal.
The biggest issue with HTC dev on the newest H-boot is that you cannot flash kernels normally through recovery
Never accept an OTA. S-Off is soooooo convenient

Regaw uses minimal user information in the unlocking process.
With that said, you can never be sure HTC doesn't know you unlocked it. Frankly, Its not going to matter if they know or know when your boot loader says relocked.

Not through the normal channels with the new H-boot
Sorry, I meant to say S-ON.
(So are there abnormal channels for flashing a kernel then?)
Do I have this all wrong, or isn't it true that a ROM includes a kernel, and you can flash a ROM with S-ON, but not a kernel by itself?

The kernel in the ROM doesnt get flashed. When going from sense to sense it isnt an issue because its still the stock HTC kernel
If you try flashing cm10 without pushing the boot.img the phone wont boot because it has an AOSP ROM and sense kernel
Abnormal channels would be your fastboot flash, htc dumlock, or flashgui
What's the problem.with not being able to flash the kernal thur recovery? You can still push it via fastboot. It not so much of an inconvenience that you would want to not have root and do tons of cool **** to your phone. Who cares if HTC knows you are unlocked? BFD!
Unlock your phone and enjoy it the way it was meant to be enjoyed except flashing radios and kernal via recovery.

frankly, that takes 5 seconds on fastboot. Only gripe is that u have to use a PC, but still we dont have that many kernels or Roms to flash in order to make s-off much useful
On my old bravo, it made more sense, because they could remap all the partition sizes and hence decrease size of cache and system partition and added that to data partition.
But still, maybe someone will benefit from it

But the major feature is that we can get our bootloaders locked instead of relocked & have the warranty back.
