Having gone through the HD Desire who loved and still love, I went to the Samsung galaxy SII for 30 days, make the greatest efforts, but the impression I have is empty. This is because I've always moved with the sense and I found it better launcher, plus the kitchen of the HTC phones are unique for that reason I got on sale and bought the evo sgs2 3d. Whenever I asked for root to those who know htcmanía and this time there is still no comment. I have read in various forums and none made it clear to me as root and put the recovery in the evo 3d gsm, if there is someone who can explain it as a step by step tuto agrdeceré infinitely. Thanks and participate to get the evo is a great smart 3d.
AFTER MUCH ENDED TUTO CHEW
Well finally after much reading I think I can put together this tutorial, I have two evo gsm 3d and it worked wonders,
Step 1: Download the two attached zip and unzip them only the second which is then used the exe, save it for the first zip the end.
Step 2: Run the exe. driver htc (htcdriver3.0.0.007), always with the evo off.
the driver must be downloaded here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.p.../revolutionary
Step 3: Connect to EVO and put it in debug configuration from usb
Step 4: Now pay attention. There is a folder called Revolutionary-0.4pre4 decompress and run the exe, black and a window with a number, must copy and close the black window because after returning.
Step 5: The website of Revolutionary box appears Beta Key (need to identify clearly our model) is where should paste the copied number in step 4, and generate the code mother (With Kilombo is this more than mother code is a *****).
http://revolutionary.io/
Step 6: This code must copirlo mother and paste it in the famous black window that I explained that close, now we give to enter.
Step 7: Once the process will ask if you want to install the recovery and put the Y (yes not now what the hell do).
Step 8: Almost ready after restarting the phone and seeing that medium work (ha ha), put the last file in the downloaded folder still do not use the sd memory of the phone, your zip-efgh 2.3.6.3 ...
Step 9: Turn off and turn on Evo down with volume and on, we will now install the file recovery mencinado from sd card file, install and then say later installed. Then finish and give to reboot and finish and we can put the rom you want.
Well I hope to serve and be useful, constructive criticism is heard.

sadly this wont work for HBOOT other than 1.49.0007 and 1.49.0008
Mine is HBOOT 1.49.0011, and it doesn't work
It has been released from HTCdev, with "Unlocking Your Bootloader" you can install custom roms, isnt that you want?
Here is the link:
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Thanks
No.. i want to root.. S-Off it my device, but since revolutionary 0.4pre4 only work for HBOOT 1.49.0007 and 1.49.0008, just waiting and they're still working on it, hopefully ASAP
1.49.0011 <== can't use.
How to do now ?
Please somebody help me. I installed bad kernel, and ROMManager the ends the Clockworks Recovery. Does'nt start the Rom, and I cannot restore it. How it is possible to make the Clockworks Recovery free, and to restore the Rom?
ROMManager allows nothing in the Clockworks Recovery to make.
Thanks.

Thank you.
My problem was not resolved.
After setting off with a HBOOT fill, fastboot, recovery, and factory reset. I see these. If I select it the fastbootot, bootloader and reboot come, but makes nothing with these. Only steps back. The recovery it's locked (Rom Manager)... HTC HD2, task29 wiped everything, and the replanting was possible. From a computer it's not possible to install the kernel or Rom again?
Mine is HBOOT 1.49.0011
im waiting for it also
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....

S-OFF can be reversed so that methods not a problem which the Team Revolution unlock method does...but if you use the HTC Bootloader unlocker it will leave evidence and they will know that you did it and you might lose your warranty.
If you have a 1.49.0011 HBOOT, I'd wait until Team Revolution fix it.
Me neither .. waiting for team revolutionary release HBOOT 1.49.00.11
Is there a way to relock and s-on your phone back to the stock? I have a falf screen freeze issue and want to send the phone back to htc for repair.
Cheers!!!!!!!!
Just wondering, I'm S-Off and Rooted already.
If I'm using SystemApp Remover to uninstall some stock program
Rogers - Ringback, wifi calling, etc.....
Will I be available to upgrade the OS via OTA by htc?
Many thanks in advance.~
Serial number...?
I'm not quite sure how I feel about giving my serial number to achieve s-off and root. What malicious activities can be done with this info?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Waiting..
Yeah.. me too waiting to 's-off' for hboot 1.49.0011

I've just received my HTC EVO 3D GSM, and i want to root it, S-OFF, CWMR and that..
I've had a HTC Desire before, rooted and CWMR but not S-OFF, and i was running CyanogenMod 7 on it.
I've decided (so far) to keep my EVO 3D running stock ROM.
But i do want root, to be able to do nandroid backups, titantium backup, underclock/overclock it, etc etc.
Can i simply use Revoluntionary to S-OFF and install CWMR, and then flash "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned.zip" to achieve root (aka SU) ?
And then i'll have root, without wiping or resetting anything on my phone?
I'm semi new to this, and i really don't want anything to go wrong
On my CDMA Evo, I skipped the backups and stuff and it never wiped or asked me to wipe. I still ended up with S-OFF, twrp, root, etc. without having to wipe.
I'm the exact same as you, just came from a HTC Desire with CM7 to an EVO 3D.
Id really like to know what the best process is, from what i can tell the HTC method isn't the one to us.
The other thing I'd like to know is exactly what is the problem with phone that have been updated to 2.3.4, people have said not to update if you want to root??
Check the gsm dev section...gsm doesnt have much to play with right now but im sure it will soon
Hey, a little update and maybe some help to others in the same situation as mine.
I've now successfully rooted & S-OFF'd my HTC EVO 3D GSM, though still using stock ROM.
I followed this lovely guide, which was very nice, and worked like a treat.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smp6cT4UEKE&feature=related
The only thing i did different was that i used another SU.zip file, since from reading on these forums, the one he linked (in the video) had some errors, so i used the file others recommended.
Recommended SU.zip file:

The HTC Method isn't optimal, since it will not S-OFF your phone, and there are far better ways to unlock your phone properly.
My EVO came preinstalled with 2.3.4, so i'm fairly sure the android version doesn't change anything.
There are different hboot versions floating around, and mine came with 1.49.0007, which can easily be rooted & S-OFF'd with the proper tools (as i linked in my last post).
The 1.49.0008 version is not working properly at the moment i believe (correct me if i'm wrong?)
And if you update your phone to the newest version, you'll get hboot version 1.50, which is not rootable yet (not stable atleast, think i saw some experimental roots at some point?)
And as for more info, i did not loose any data or apps or anything when rooting & S-OFF, so it worked perfectly
Hey thanks for the help, thought I'd just put everything i have down for anyone else. This will S-OFF and Permanent Root an EVO 3D.
Model: HTC EVO 3D GSM (shooter_U)
Android: Gingerbread 2.3.4
Hboot: 1.49.0007
1. Enable USB Debugging on your Phone.
2. Connect Phone to Computers USB.
3. Download "revolutionary-0.4pre4" from http://revolutionary.io/
4. Get Beta Key from http://revolutionary.io/
5. Download & Install "HTCDriver3.0.0.007" from http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
6. Run "revolutionary.exe" from "revolutionary-0.4pre4"
7. Phone should reboot 4 times
8. Type Yes to install Clockwork Recovery Mod.
9. Download "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16651725&postcount=17
10. Copy "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned" zip file to the root of your SD Card
11. Boot into Recovery by Powering off the Phone, then powering thge phone on by holding the "Power Button and Volume Down Button"
12. Press the Volume Down button to select "Recovery" and press "Power Button" to Select. Then Choose "Install ZIP from SD", and install "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned".
13. Done (now check you have SuperUser App, maybe go get Titanium Backup & ROM Manager).
Thanks to Moonbloom, Revolutionary and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smp6cT4UEKE for help.
No problem mate, glad i can help
From what i've seen (personally, on my own phone) and heard on these forums, ROMManager doesn't work properly with HTC EVO 3D GSM.
When i installed the free version of ROMManager, it didn't recognize that i had ClockWorkMod Recovery, but when i rebooted into recovery, it clearly showed that i had CWMR installed.
A lot of people have had this issue, and when you go into ROMManager, it will ask you to flash CWMR to the latest version. If you do this after having used Revolutionary (including the entire process) it will completely **** up your S-OFF, root, CWMR and everything, so don't try and flash CWMR from within ROMManager.
All the things you can do in ROMManager are also doable if you reboot your phone into recovery (just without the fancy ROMManager GUI)
i have tried everything possible with this phone to root it and nothing. Was wondering if someone would help me out??
I feel your pain and I've try the HTC dev. unlock with no luck I'm coming from the OG evo which was really easy to root ..

See the Guide/flashing Notes in my signature. You need to rerun the currently installed "FULL" Ruu or the the Latest RUU, then the unlock will work.
I did the HTCDev and unlocked it went to thread on downgrade from 1.5 hboot to 1.4 tried that and it did not work. I went to try the wire trick and this is what I get when I try to use the controlbear. the phone connects and goes through process but says the following...
======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========

Found device.....but device has no root!!
Press ENTER to exit.....
Any help would be helpful I have tried superuser but wont install, tried rootevo3dnew, temproot sensation Ect. everything says I need to be rooted.
I am running stock rom that shipped with phone and yes I did updates. I am Sprint CDMA 2.17 rom shipped, 1.5 Hboot. I have flashed roms and modded before but dont consider myself to be advanced. I have done flashing and installing roms with my old HTC Touch pro2 but alot easier on touch pro2 LOL...

Ok, let's make sure we know where you are at to start with. When you use the vol and power button to boot to fastboot, does the phone show "unlocked". If not, I think you need to do the htc method again. I have not kept up recently, but I am not sure there is any method other than the HTC method that works every time for 1.5. I have used the HTC method on two phones without a problem, so that is the method I use.
Once you get that far, I used adb to push or flash the twrp image into the recovery section of the phone. Then you should be able to flash superuser via the install menu of twrp. There are threads that have detailed explanations on how this is done.
Yea, I had a bit of a learning curve from my TP2 also, but love this phone!

Still learning this forum so excuse any errors I make. I've spent the last 10 hours trying to fix the mess I created on my wife's Evo 3d. I was able to root my phone and it was relatively easy so I tackled hers as well and have gotten a bootloop I cannot figure out, 10 hours later. I'm on hboot 1.5. I unlocked the phone (using a pretty reliable video), loaded 4EXT Recovery then tried to load roms. Everything worked fine until the rom-loading portion. Since then, the phone loops, but once or twice it made it all the way to the main screen and before I could slide the ring, a read error message appeared next to the bars of service then the phone just completely reboots. Right now, the only thing I can get into is the bootloader and the clockworkmod v4.0.1.4, somehow I lost my 4EXT Recovery. I'm stuck and in dire straights as my wife is going out of town and will KILL me if I don't fix her phone. Please help! BTW, somehow I managed to NOT back anything up (stupidity on my part). Will I be able to get this thing back to stock at least or is it now a paperweight?

Your not bricked by any means. And Im going to guess you tried to boot an ICS rom.. dont. They dont work with hboot 1.5. If you really want to go back to stock run the 2.17 RUU and youll be back to where you started. Another option is to download a GB rom and flash that. Not ICS. If your able to get to the bootloader than you can still load up 4ext recovery so you can flash the GB rom.
Edit: some hboot 1.5 users are lucky and can flash them if they used the correct VM firmware but majority of users have problems.

Thanks, I just tried flashing a rom that has taken it back to stock but I'm still in the bootloop. Should I stop flashing and simply locate the RUU?
22410,
It sounds like the kernel did not flash correctly with 4ext Recovery (next time, make sure u indicat S-on in its settings). I'm not sure if you were just stock 2.17 rooted or not, but use 7zip on your pc to open & extract/copy out the "boot.img" file from the rom, zip, etc you were using and copy it to your fastboot pc folder. Still have the Cwm 4.0.1.4 recovery.IMG file there too right (or the 4ext recovery.img file)? Ok...
- put phone in fastboot usb mode
From PC's fastboot command prompt type:
- " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
(this will reflash the kernel/boot image extracted from a rom)
If your recovery is screwed up:
- " fastboot flash recovery YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(ie: cwm_4.0.1.4_recovery.img or recovery.img, etc as listed in fastboot folder, to reflash a recovery to your phone).
With S-on, to properly enter a recovery for flashing ANYTHING you must:
- " fastboot boot YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(doesn't apply if using 4ext's Smartflash or TWRP's Dumlock settings. But you must have a bootable android OS/kernel first, once the flash is screwed it won't work).
If u have a Sprint CDMA EVO3D/HTC Unlocked & S-on (not Jbear s-Off), then the guide in my signature has more info.
Edit: as NIN said you will likely have problems flashing ICS roms with S-on (hboot version doesn't matter). If u are still unlocked & have a working recovery u can flash any gb Rom successfully after wiping system, data, & cache (or run superwipe zip). Meanrom GB v4.5 recommended.
Sent from my "Up all night, Sleep all day" EVO3D!
In the past days, I've seen many threads with messed up instructions on how to root EVO 3D.
Steps are simple.
It depends on "what" you wanna do.
Now, here's a step by step guide but first, you need to know what we will do here.
TO PREVENT YOU FROM WASTING YOUR TIME, GIVE THE WHOLE THING A VAGUE READ BEFORE STARTING THE PROCESS.
WARNING: FLASHING ROMS AND UPDATING RRU "WILL" WIPE ALL DATA FROM YOUR PHONE. BACKUP.
NO, YOU CAN NOT BRICK YOUR PHONE. UNLESS YOU'RE REALLY THAT RETARDED. HBOOT AND BOOTLOADER CAN ALWAYS BE USED TO UNBRICK A BRICKED PHONE.
1) Root - Its like administrator on windows 7. Just allows you to access and modify files a normal user wont be able to access. Anything that needs to be tampered with outside of your SD card, especially a folder called "system" will need root.
2)Hboot - Bootloader. It turns your phone on. Only 08/09 version has S-OFF ability. You can check this version by removing the battery, then putting it back in and pressing vol- and power at the same time till it goes into bootloader. HBOOT version is in the top left corner.
3)Superuser - An Application to grant other applications to have access to "system" folder.
4)RRU - your software/firmware/update
5)Bootloader - Turn off, remove battery, put it back in, press vol- and power at the same time to access bootloader.
6)Fastboot - Control the bootloader.
7)ABD - its like ssh shell but for controlling your phone via computer command prompt with usb cable attached.
8) S-OFF - Gives you the ability flash unsigned Boot.img/kernel zImage files etc.
VODAFONE USERS, TRY THIS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495657
I don't have a vodafone branded phone so I have no idea what they are saying.
It depends on many what exactly it is that you want to do and what exactly is convenient for you.
FIRST BASIC THING FOR IT ALL. UNLOCK
http://www.htcdev.com
go there, get everything you need, follow the instructions, and unlock your phone. Cant get much simpler.
I would read the steps first because they're all about how to get ADB and FASTBOOT. http://revolutionary.io/ <--- go here, click download for windows and you'll get all the tools you need. ADB/Drivers/Fastboot/revolutionary.
Make a Folder in C:\ named "adb" and extract the contents of this zip into that folder.
AFTER THIS, THERE ARE MANY WAYS.
1) Flash recovery and roms. Use Fastboot to flash boot.img from every rom you flash or kernel. Why choose this? Simpler but takes time, not 100% compatible with every rom.
2) Flash A recovery called TWRP with dumlock. ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1509748 Why choose this? hy choose this? Simple, but again, Not compatible with every rom and takes time.
3) Flash Recovery and use FLASH IMAGE GUI. *Google this.* Why choose this? Simple, but again, Not compatible with every rom and takes time.
4) Downgrade your hboot, as follows. *Why choose this? Simple. Takes time the first time, but is 100% compatible with every rom out there, and more convenient, fast, etc etc.
SECOND BASIC THING: (IGNORE THIS IS YOU HAVE HBOOT 1.49.0009 or below.)
Recovery.
For the time being, we shall use Revolutionary cwm ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218800
Why? It works. Thats why. Only 2 recoveries can charge, this and TWRP, we'll head to that later.
Keys are simple. Volume to go up and down, Power/camera for selecting an option.
After the recovery is done, http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Put this in your sd card, get into recovery *Open bootloader, go to recovery, press power to select and it will reboot into recovery. Select install and choose the superuser-something.zip and it will install. If it gives an error, go back, select advanced instead of install and choose fix permissions, reboot into rom.. then reboot into recovery and try installing again.
After thats done, your rom is rooted.
THIRD STEP:
DOWNGRADING HBOOT: (IGNORE THIS IS YOU HAVE HBOOT 1.49.0009 or below.)
Any hboot above 1.49.0009 cant Have s-off.
Make sure USB debugging mode is on which you can find in settings, applications, development.
Click start, in search, write "cmd" and cmd will show up in top, *assuming you're on windows 7, windows xp is start, all programs, accessories*
After the command prompt opens, write "cd CD:\adb" <--- the folder i asked you to create and extract in step 1
then write
"adb shell"
"su" <-- this will ask you you for permissions on your phone, click ALLOW.
"dd if=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31"
What it should Look like --->http://cache.gyazo.com/6c8c47a5f9c34e3725c081c048dd3271.png
Don' close command prompt and switch your phone to USB storage mode, and copy mmcblk0p31 into your pc. <-- make an extra copy of the original and keep in safe place in case you **** up.
http://www.mediafire.com/?3j0httaa7o171ai <--- hexeditor.
open this, then open mmcblk0p31
Change version in xvi32 1.22.720.1 to 1.20.720.1 and save file. Or just reduce the number.. basically it makes the updater think you are running on a older software version and you need to update. also NOTE DOWN YOUR CID.
Save it back in the memorycard and switch back to charging mode
In the command prompt, write
"adb shell dd if=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31"
then "adb reboot-bootloader"
Next step is tricky.

You'll either just need european RRU IF you have a european device OR European RRU and your region based RRU IF YOUR DEVICE ISNT EUROPEAN.
I was gonna post multiupload links but multiupload doesn't work anymore *hurray*
When you run the downloaded file, it will extract some stuff. Then it will show you the main menu where you get to agree licence ****. **** that.
when you're at the agree thingy, just minimise, and open Tast manager *press ALT+CTRL+DEL*, go to processes, choose the setup,in my case, it was ARUWizard. How you can know? It's description is gonna be "ROM update utility". right click it, and click open file location. There, you'll see a "rom.zip"
Copy it somewhere else and rename it to "PG86IMG" <-- this is the update.
within this update, you'll see a android-info.txt file which contains all the CIDs this RRU supports. See if your CID *which you noted down in the previous step* is there in this file.
Otherwise your device is meant for a different region and you'll have to try some other RRU, extract rom etc etc.
NOW HERE'S THE TRICKY PART.
If your device is european and your CID is there in the european RRU's android-info file, you can just use the european version. Otherwise you need to extract the hboot from european RRU, Rename it to the hboot from your native RRU and recompress.
Here's an example.
AAAA.zip <---- european
BBBB.zip <---- My native, say chinese?
AAAA.zip has hboot.xxxx and BBBB.zip has hboot.YYYY
what im gonna do is. extract hboot.xxxx, rename it to hboot.yyyy and put it in BBBB.zip.. *CANT MAKE THIS MORE NOOB FRIENDLY*
use winrar or winzip, remember, files need to be compressed in .zip format.
NOW put this PG86IMG.zip in your memory card. Remove your battery. press vol- and power to go to bootloader. There, it might take up to 5 minutes to scan the PG86IMG.zip and will ask you if you want to update. Select yes. Let it update.
*THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA FROM PHONE, NOT MEMORY CARD, SO BACK UP PLEASE*
Now that you have hboot 1.49.0009, lets get S-OFF.
FOURTH BASIC STEP. S-OFF
its simple, turn on usb debugging, run revolutionary.

**REFLASHING THE STOCK ROM/RRU WILL GET YOU LOCKED AGAIN**
**YOU DONT NEED TO FLASH STOCK RRU AFTER THIS STEP BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY STOCK**
FIFTH BASIC STEP:
Flash your desired rom/recovery.
If you want your stock rom Rooted, the video in the 4th step till the end.
BAAM! YOU HAVE A ROOTED S-OFF STOCK ROM.

Maybe I didn't understand something from OP.
My phone had S-ON with *** LOCKED *** and with HBOOT-1.49.0018
with latest unbranded firmware
What I did is this:
1.downloaded RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.2_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203403_signed.exe
2.downloaded latest device drivers
3.downloaded revolutionary files
uninstaled HTC sync
4. started phone normaly,
5. start RUU upgrade(downloaded in 1. - in my case it's downgrade)
6. after that my HBOOT is 1.49.0007 still ***LOCKED*** and S-ON
7. from revolutionary web site generated beta code for my phone
8. Restart phone, turn USB debuging ON
9. start revolutionary.exe and paste beta code from their generator
10. wait for it to finish
11. Now I got 1.49.1107 HBOOT with S-OFF
12. Tried to flash the same RUU again and I after that I get again HBOOT 1.49.0007 from RUU but ***LOCKED*** and S-OFF!!!

moment you flash an official RRU, the hboot gets locked and reflashed
follow the last part of step 4 to maintain 1.49.0007/8 hboot
REFLASHING THE OFFICIAL ROM WILL RESTORE THE HBOOT.
and its already flashed, why would u flash it again to start with? :|
OK, TO MAKE THIS MORE NOOB FRIENDLY, YOUR ROM IS ALREADY STOCK. YOU DONT NEED TO FLASH STOCK ROM AGAIN.

this is just dump. You don't need higher hboot, higher hboot has nothing to do with software. Okay maybe when ICS comes we will need a new hboot as the Sensation users does, but then we will get a fully s-offed hboot.

HELP ME
First step sign up at HTC dev this is where you will unlock you bootloader
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Is this what your looking for. As usual we here at The Root are not to be held responsible for what you do to your phone or should something go horribly wrong and you turn your pretty 3D into a paperweight. Make sure you read and understand everything below before you start the process.
Unfortunately, many of us that purchased an Evo 3D phone recently (after Sep 2011) got the preloaded HTC Hboot 1.50 version. Sadly, if you have this version the preferred method of attaining full root with S-Off doesn’t work. According to the developers of the preferred rooting tool Revolutionary (http://revolutionary.io/), HTC patched the previous S-off exploit with this new Hboot version. Therefore, they are working hard on finding another way for full root with 1.50 but they have stated that it will probably be awhile before release.
You can however still unlock the bootloader using HTC’s method and flash any custom ROM/kernels just like those with S-off on their 3Ds. It just requires some additional steps.
I compiled a guide from various sources but changed it to include the new superuser version and the TWRP recovery rather than CWM. This also includes steps on getting my favorite ROM VaelPak up and running after you achieve S-on root. Hopefully this will save you all hours of searching and headaches.
Again, I didn’t create the rooting process or steps, I simply compiled various instructions and links into a one stop location here. I jump back and fourth between my below guide and zedomax’s guides so I hope its not confusing.
Here we go… the following is my experience and the steps I performed the first day I got the 3D:
ROOTING (Unlocking the 3D via HTC’s method)
1. Unbox and turn on the phone. Play around with it to make sure it is working well. Go into settings, power, and UN-CHECK fastboot. 2. Shut down the phone and then pulled the battery for good measure. 3. Hold the volume down and power button for 10 seconds. This should get you into a white menu that shows your the Hboot version. If you have anything pre-Hboot 1.50 than you are lucky and are able to perform a FULL S-off root with this tool: http://revolutionary.io/ Follow their steps exactly as they list them. If your Hboot version is 1.50, then continue on… 4. Vaelek sent me the following link that includes zedomax’s guide with video which I watched and followed word for word. Open this link then come back here to perform steps 5 through 9 before starting zedomax’s process. http://htcevohacks.c…-unlock-method/5. First thing you want to do from this link is download the rootevo3dnew.zip located in step 1 of the instructions. Here is the direct link if you can’t find it: http://downloadandro…ootevo3dnew.zip 6. Next, create a folder on your desktop (I assume you are on windows) and call it the same as the zip file, rootevo3dnew 7. Extract the zip file to the new folder you created on the desktop. The video shows this but you can go ahead and do this now before you get started. 8. Before starting the video and steps, if you want TWRP instead of CWM then download the modified TWRP recovery img file located in this post: http://forum.xda-dev… 3&postcount=223 . Put that downloaded .img file in the same folder on your desktop that you extracted the rootevo3dnew.zip in. The folder you created called rootevo3dnew. 9. Next, the superuser zip file that came with the rootevo3dnew.zip and is used in zedomax’s step 21 is an older version (2.3.6.3). Download the newer 3.0 version. You’ll use it later in steps 21 and 22 of zedomax’s guide. The zip file can be found here: http://downloads.and…efgh-signed.zip Again, once you download it, put the .zip file (do not extract it) into the rootevo3dnew folder. 10. Start the video and follow the steps that zedomax walks you through until you reach step 18 of his guide. 11. Modified step 18: a. To use TWRP recovery rather than CWM, type this instead of what is shown on zedomax’s instructions: fastboot flash recovery twrp-1.0.3-modified.img b. This is the file you downloaded above. Remember, this has to be in the rootevo3dnew folder to work. 12. Continue on to step 21 of zedomax’s guide. 13. Modified step 21 & 22: a. To install the latest Superuser version, use the .zip file you downloaded earlier rather than the one that came in zedomax’s rootevo3dnew.zip. b. The file you will move to your SD and flash in zedomax’s step 22 is called su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip 14. Finish up with step 23! Once you reboot, download Titanium Backup and open it to confirm you have root access. You might also want to verify that the superuser app is now available in your app drawer. If it is, open it and then navigate to preferences and check for updates. Lastly, if this achieved root for you then please go back to zedomax’s guide and thank him!
FLASHING ROMS & KERNELS
If you want to flash VaelPak or other custom ROMs, you must boot into recovery through fastboot. Apparently fastbooting into recovery allows you write access to certain partitions contained in the phone. S-off roots (Hboot 1.40 or lower) don’t have to worry about this. Hopefully the unrevoked team can find a new exploit with Hboot 1.50 in the near future so we don’t have to be next to a computer to flash roms and kernels. I’ve read that some user can wipe and flash roms without going through fastboot. However, if you are near your computer and want to good flash, I highly recommend booting recovery through fastboot.

My phone was as the OP's when i got it (ASDA few weeks a go)
I just used this tut to get it to s-off..
basically install evo drivers to pc, put PG86IMG.zip file on sd card, let the phone downgrade automatically in the h-boot, the use the revolution programme to s-off and install a CMW.
I think this method works if your cid is 001 (use cid getter from market to check), no need for htc-unlock or anything

I unlocked my device (I bought 2 more evo's so have 3 now) and one of them has hboot 1.53.0007 and is s-off I have tried to install more than one rom and none of them get past the HTC screen before rebooting except Kingcobra it reboots after the funky animation screen. I cant get fastboot to flash a new kernel or hboot. It always says remote not allowed. And I have tried using 4ext and clockwork both touch and non touch versions. I don't know what to do from here.
As you are s-off I would suggest you downgrade your hboot using method E (step 1 to step 4 only)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466
Your hboot is the problem. It causes problems with lots of roms. Yoda's ICS and Viper3D are two roms that i'm sure work fine with your hboot. But it will be a lot easier if you tried the method above to downgrade

Thanks for the reply. I have tried the PG86IMG.zip file more than once and also checked the MD5 before and after moving it to the SD card it checks fine but when it tries to install it it says
Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot
no matter how many times I try to install it. So I will give the ROMs a try that you mentioned. Out of curiosity I thought that when I got juopunutupbear sauced enough lol it would also give me a new Hboot at the same time it asked me if I wanted it installed I picked yes. The first phone I unlocked took three tries (it's still my current one I don't want to sell that one, sentimental reasons for making the paper weight that was given to me work again) but this one took about 10+ tries to get it to work. I think that after this when I pick up any EVOs I will check the Hboot first.
Oh and it also has an extra entry under RADIO it's OpenDSP-v02.6.0.226.00.0202 The other ones don't have that and also have different Hboots (the ones that worked the first go pretty much) and I looked it up and apparently its also an x515a which from what I gather means it has an extra frequency 850 1900(?),and 2100 (i may have gotten exact values wrong, can't rem off the top of my head. Anyway I will get back to you once I have tried the ROMs.
I have three EVO 3Ds (trying to make a buck buying locked phones from pawn shops and then unlocking them and reselling for a profit, once I get this one going again and sold I can work on the next and so on. Then I can also (each time I get one done) give a percentage of the profits (20% or so split up I think is OK) to places like this and to the devs that put together all the necessary bits to achieve a rooted any carrier phones and ROMs. I wholeheartedly support this type of philosophy and am going through the process of learning to become a dev too and can't wait till I too can participate just as much as the rest but that's enough rambling sorry for going on there got off topic.

i tried them both and they didn't work either. Am going to give downgrade a go. And also if I change the cidnum in the info file inside the zip it will work for Wrong ID errors? I am surprised to hear that (read it somewhere else earlier) I thought that file was like a readme.txt file. I am edgy about messing about with the RADIO as I hear that if you get that wrong you may not be able to get back into Hboot and if that happens it has to go to the factory to get fixed. Please advise on that if you know. Thanks

OMG! I got it working YAY!!! Finally, man you saved me from having to do the ROM roulette testing each one and switching up the various tweaks each time, wiping, etc... Thank you so much. I got Yoda ICS to run with the Stock HTC kernel. It's a bit twitchy but if it locks up the soft keys or taping stops working I just hit power to turn off the screen and then turn it on with power again and then it goes back to accepting input again. I am going to make a back up of the device and then see what is different from the other one I have and if they are the same (MD5s for a start then if they are different and when I take a look at unyaffs I will delve further)
Anyway I did notice that I wasn't getting the boot to flash properly at least according to the logs and when I looked at the version of the device it was Android 2.3.7 so maybe that had something to do with it. Anywho thanks again. And when I get to it I think I will write a nubs guide/checklist that has either links or whatever it needs for all the quirks I have come up against while doing this phone and the other one. Obviously it will have to be specific to the EVO and for the specs that mine have. Plus I know in the future to stay away from Hboot 1.53.0007 for dang sure. You made my day I hope you have just as good of one.
Glad to see you've got it working again. Theres a text file inside pg86img thats checks your cid. You should take a look here it will clear up some of your questions

I unlocked my EVO3D by HTCdev HBOOT is 1.53.0007 and I want to downgrade to hboot 1.49.0007/8 for revolutionary because otherwise I cant flash CM9/10 roms succsessfully....I have read a lots of threads but only thing what was succesfull is the hboot unlock...but Im not S-OFF...
So for the instance, the phone:
Is HTC EVO3D GSM
CID is HTC__001
was on stock ICS 4.0.3 OTA rom
HBOOT 1.53.0007 S-ON
UNLOCKED S-ON by htcdev method
followed this thread to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=28106291 and flash ROM Method D and B, but i didnt do the wire trick way - my phone is some kind of different so I think wire trick is not possible, so I skipped that (and controlbear.exe and the download links are no longer working on unlimited.io, only way i get the files was from htcevohacks.com but controlbear.exe shows me some error that I dont remember for now, i will try and post it).
Then it's working on ICS NonSense® 4.0
to downgrade HBOOT to 1.49.0007 and get revolutionary S-OFF so i followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1471246
The first method copying mmcblk0p31.img to sdcard and here im stuck....I dont understand why, but the command "adb shell dd....." copies mmcblk0p31 file of 16kB size and total empty content, so I cant change any version to 1.20.720.1 and cant downgrade....
So how to solve this problem? Is it cause that first I need to get hboot 1.53 S-OFF? If so, how?
Im sorry but currently the only method to downgrade your hboot is AFTER you get s-off with wire trick. What kind of problem are you facing with the wire trick? It sometimes takes more than a couple of attempts to do it right

The first problem is that on all tutorials and vids the HTC EVO3D back look like this
Code:
h ttp:// htcevohacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/howto-downgrade-soff-htcevo3d-9-500x344.jpg
But my phone look like this - the SIMcard slot is just on the SD slot
Code:
ht tp:// syenceiction.7u.cz/IMG_20121001_165929.jpg
(sry for the code but im not allowed to post outside links yet...)
So i dont know if there is a way how to make the wire trick, because the SIMslot seems to be blocking the contact to SDcard...
And the second problem, this is what happens when I plug the phone to USB and run controlbear.exe:
======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========
Starting up......
Connecting to device...
Searching device.....
Found device.....
Backing up......
Transferring backups....
Secondary backup FAILED!!
Press ENTER to exit.....

Click to collapse
And here it ends and I can't do anything...USB Debugging enabled...
bro if you read through this thread the OP tells you that you have to ignore that failed warning and continue.

and yes the method is a bit different for gsm phones.

you need to tap on the sim card metal slot instead of the sdcard one(in case of cdma)
...thanks... this needed to know. It's the first time im flashing evo3d, I sit whole day reading threads, tutorials and watching vids, so this went already out of me so I was surprised by the differences.
But in case of the controlbear.exe, I read whole post but I don't see anything about this error. How can I ignore it if the program stops with message "Press enter to exit" ?? I press enter, the window with program will close, so I run program as admin again and the same error is repeating...maybe its because actually the phone is on 20% battery so Im charging it now then i will try it with at least 75%...but...
Are you sure you are rooted? cause you need to be for this to work
If using windows make sure to run the program as admin.
unlimited.io is working for me
heres the file you need
Thans, I already find and downloaded, I have all the time the "GB" version.
Yes I think I rly am rooted...for root I followed the steps in the method B by friend.evil http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 and installed exactly the superuser.zip file in step B9. Also I installed titanium Backup and other apps requiring root acces all working...
But strange was when I tried in adb.exe command "adb shell" then "#su" on th phone nothing happens - nothing like "super user permission granted" (I have it in other language than english so i dont know the form of the exact msg in eng").
//So now it looks like i made a big stupidity, I run the !GB" version of controlbear, everything was now working, phone restarted but because I realized that Im on ICS not GB ROM i Closed the controlbear when waiting for device...and the phone is now stuck on JuounutBear Screen.........
//So i can get to Hboot so it shouldnt be bricked, I will try to solve this reflashing boot.img via fastboot.

Thank you very much...I've just successfully performed the wire trick and have JuopunutBear HBOOT 1.53.7777 S-OFF....I wonder how someone can figure out some wire trick and other mods...its nice.
Hopefully now I should be able to downgrade the HBOOT to 1.49.0007...
Good luck with that
now i can finally go back to studying damn i hate my uni
GL too...
but still ther is the problem with copying mmcblk0p31.img to SDcard...Im still wondering why, if my microSD is bad or the ROM is bad or what...when trying this way from CMD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471246 this is doing my cmd:
Code:
C:\evo3dflash>adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.im
g
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
32+0 records in
32+0 records out
16384 bytes transferred in 0.002 secs (8192000 bytes/sec)
this is bad, it should be 2045+0 records in 2045+0 records out and 1047040 bytes copied...
Anyone knows why? why is the image size of 16kB and total empty? because there is no information about the version as it should be according to this http://cache.gyazo.com/a0c2a86fabf917602dbb82a1a6a93d82.png
