hey
I know its been awhile since we have heard anything from Revo and its a ban-able offense on their IRC to ask about how its going, but has anyone heard about ANYTHING that'd led to S-Off on the Htc Evo 3D?
I had to switch back to my htc evo 4g cause I can't stand not having root and S-off on my 3d. And I really do not want to use HTC's Method. So has anyone heard anything? Like progress? Or should I just
abandon hope? Lol

as a general suggestion, i'd recommend to never abandon hope. if their irc channel, their main location they advertize to contact them, doesnt provide information on their status, i'm not sure you'll find any other *insider* information on XDA regarding their status. they generally keep a fairly tight knit group.
i haven't heard any insider information either. i would hope they're working on a method for hboot 1.5 but might not be making it a top priority since htc has released an unlock method and revalphax does cover a number of devices. even though htc's method is not the same and not as "thorough" it still works and allows the basics.
maybe somebody will correct me and we'll all get an update! hope that helps!

Wrong section, please pay attention to where you are posting next time.
In regards to your question, there really isn't an "easier way". The AlphaRev tool is one of the easiest I have ever seen. I suppose if that is too hard you could void your warranty and go the HTC route(Not Recommended).
i already did it with HTC. i want clockwork or something.

Since you followed HTC's method you are stuck as of right now. Their method unlocks your bootloader, but still has a NAND lock keeping you from flashing to different partitions. This situation is similar to the OG Evo if I'm not mistaken. Just wait around and a root method should appear.

You will see claims from people in these forums that they were able to root and install recovery using HTC's unlocking, but those are false claims. All of those posters had been previously rooted using revolutionary.io. No one that took the OTA on a phone that hadn't previously been unlocked have been successful installing a custom recovery.
Basically you have an unlocked bootloader, now you will have to wait for someone to come up with an exploit like "rage against the cage" from the Evo to unlock the nand and attain s-off. If you had the original Evo 4g you will remember that in order to root you had to use unrevoked or Toast's method. Something similar to that will now be needed.
For those reading this your best option is to hold off using HTC's unlocker and if you haven't taken the 2.08 update use revolutionary.io to unlock your phone and if you did take the update or have a phone that came with the update, wait for an update to revolutionary.io.

I completely agree that many of the new users do often get a bit excited and "rush" to root or unlock their devices (without fully understanding or reading directions) and end up in a lurch. But not a single person on this forum should log in to make a person feel bad or incompetent. If you see someone that jumped the gun and is lost, please help them. If you can't, then just let someone who can do it. We are all here to learn and help each other out. Let's stick to that and everyone will be happy.

Amen! I totally agree.
Furthermore, vBulletin, phpBB, Wiki* and most technologies used to share and publish information and content are just terribly inefficient in regards to topics like these (Android, rooting, development, tech, etc.). Newcomers simply can not come into forums like these and find the info or content they want consistently. You can tag, break stuff up into sub-forums and make stickies like 3M 'til your blue in the face but until you fully understand a noob's thought process and behavior and have the software reflect that we forever will have these problems.
One temporary resolution is to try to change the one variable we can change in this equation. That is to try to cease the negative comments since we already know noobs and their questions are a constant.
Do not use the HTC root method, just use the Revolutionary method and before doing so download and copy TWRP and a ROM and flash in HBOOT\Recovery
root with s-on
Like an idiot, I unlocked my bootloader via official HTC way. I have not rooted my phone with revolutionary, my phone was completely stock. I was able to flash CWM via fastboot and install superuser via CWM.
hi,
can anyone advise if there is anyone working on how to s-off EVO3d with Hboot 1.49.00011 and above ?
seems like no one is interested in the EVO 3d GSM, nothing much seems to be moving ?

maybe should get rid of EVO 3D GSM and get samsung galaxy s2,

Sorry that you are fed up and disappointed. Since you are fed up and disappointed, the devs here working on this getting root FOR FREE will work even harder because they feel your pain that you cannot root your phone and run custom roms that these devs create FOR FREE. You should be happy and praising the devs here for what they have done instead of coming on here and creating a post whinning that there is no root exploit for the new HBOOT.

I can make Root appear . All I have to do is go to the HTCdev.com website and unlock my phone there . Then in a week time the internetz will be flooded with Hboot 1.50.000 being cracked and s-off LOL . Well thats how my luck works anyways ROFL *lays head down on desk*
Hi,
I am a NOOB at android - the Jetstream being my 1st android device. Have come across some queries and was hoping that more experienced users and developers would be able to clear things out and may be even help us move further with our device - while HTC seems to have abandoned us more or less. To my understanding, getting S-OFF would enable us to write or mount any rom from any carrier onto our devices without the issue of having problems with compatibility, etc. Achieving root was the 1st step towards that. It would enable us to literally port another devices rom onto our device. Am I right?
It seems that Unknownforce and some others (sorry for not having mentioned them all as the list seemed quite exhaustive) have managed to downgrade their HBOOT to 1.50 on their HTC EVO 3D, and from there managed to achieve S-OFF which earlier seemed un-achievable with the newer version of HBOOT that HTC has been rolling out with their devices. Link is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547695
So, want to ask/request anyone if they would know if this procedure could be applied for the Jetstream as well and enable us to get S-OFF? Could anyone please help figure this out or help point us in the right direction?
Thanks to all who help out.
I am convinced that the development for Jetstream has reached its end, if it really got going. There are two or three ROMs. There just wasn't a community for the jetstream to gain enough interest and momentum for ROMs and Mods. The attention that it did get here was due to the ~$1,000.00 bounty that was on it for Rooting. All all attention will be on the ONE series in a few weeks.
I use my Jetstream daily. Wish it had a better presence in the android world as its such a beautiful device. But, I would love to see more development, just not on the edge of my seat expecting it.
If we could get some people with the device to volunteer and work with it for some development, it would be really good. I for 1 am willing to help any way I can with whatever limited knowledge I have. As Task650 has the device, we.could perhaps ask him for help/help him out. May be if we could get this method of s off to work, things could change. Now that the device costs lesser also, it may be hope for change for the better.

We all hoping for it. If some dev could look into the method used to get the EVO 3D S-OFF and see if it is sound or would be able to work or something, may be we could move it further. I for one am a NOOB with no knowledge whatsoever about coding, programming and the sort. So can not make head or tail of the logic behind it. Link again is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547695
So I PMed Unknownforce who is the creater for the thread I shared on the 1st post. His process for obtaining s-off as he said could work for an emmc device. I am unsure if the Jetstream is such a device but I think it probably is. Next, the hboot basically determines how the device accesses its partitions and is unique for each device. Hence, we can not flash the hboot of flyer or another device onto the Jetstream and try patching from there. He said it may work if the chip used is the same, but he wasn't too sure either. So, it means that we will have to figure out another way to obtain S-OFF. Anyways, we can hope that it will happen. And thanks to Unknownforce for taking time to answer some questions and trying to help out.

Does anyone know how to contact globatron? He asked for these pictures for a reason I think. However have not heard from him or anything else whatsoever. We can't pm him so any alternate modes of contacting him to know what his plans were/are and if any development on that till now?
He has been able to figure out new method to obtain S-OFF for devices. So perhaps it would work for Jetstream too?

I read about the "Juopunutbear S-OFF" at http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...ht-juopunutbear-s-off-most-htc-2011s-line-up/ and it seems that what globatron would be looking for is probably the pictures of the board without the overlying plastic. The procedure involves a wire trick. So for that, I think he would require a pciture with the back removed, the screws undone. Unfortunately due to exams I am unable to devote much time for the next few weeks. Could anyone please check it out and post the pictures he actually requested for?
Thanks in advance and hope that he would be able to do something with them and get us S-OFF.

Hi, there is 1 Lucky person with an S-OFF Jetstream - BIGMOH. Is it possible to know what the difference is between his and our devices and thereby work backwards to gain S-OFF for us too? I did PM him and he has agreed to help us out the best he can. Neither do I nor does he have much of a knowledge about all this. Could some developer please help us out? DoomLord? Task650? Globatron?

Unfortunately, it seems that there is no longer any support for the Evo 3D, you'll just have to make due with what's been made for it. Which is a shame, as it also looks like the "glasses free 3D" for peripherals has fallen through as well. No other manufacturer has even talked about making a new 3D phone or tablet. Some asian manufacturers are going to produce a line of glasses free 3D TVs, but those won't be out until late 2016, and that's if they don't change their mind.
Yeah, it's sad. Already knew that about 3D. :/
