If there is a thread that answers this please post a link. I rooted my Evo 3D using the HTC method and I've found so far that the only way to put a customer splash screen on is if you used Revolutionary. Has anyone found a way to do this using the HTC method?
If you rooted with HTC's method and still have S-on you shoud be able to flash any .zip file from recovery (including kernels and splash screens) if you follow the directions in this thread. Post 2 tells you how to boot into the bootloader and recovery using adb and fastboot, allowing you to flash whatever you need to. You must have Android SDK installed to use this method. Hope this helps.
When I place a PG86IMG.ZIP on the root of my SDcard, it does detect but stops at parsing package, I've let it sit there for several minutes but no progress. I can install boot animations at will using root explorer. So flashing the PG86IMG.ZIP is not an option I believe, if I'm wrong please let me know, it is only detected when entering the bootloader.
As far as Im concern you must have S-OFF. SO people with S-ON Rooted(HTC METHOD) can't flash splash screen ATM..
Would it be possible to fastboot push the splash image? I don't recall the commands right now but I know way back in the G1 days we used fastboot to push them.

Ok, did have my phone rooted but one of the ROM's on here managed to cause problems so installed one of the factory HTC ROM's to unroot it and put it back should I need to send it to HTC to fix.
So after putting the stock HTC ROM on when I enter recovery mode it is now teling me that the handset is locked (bootloader is presume) also the it is still showing S-OFF.
It is showing the following so if someone can explain to a noob how to re-root it that would be fantastic.

Wow .. so originally you had an older hboot and used revolutionary to set s-off. Then you loaded a newer RUU which contained an hboot that was patched against revolutionary's s-off method.
Now you're on a newer hboot patched against revolutionary's s-off method, but you're still set s-off from previously using their method.
Don't see this situation very often. According to the theory, of how unrevoked set s-off and how I assume revolutionary is similar, you should still be s-off, as your bootloader shows, meaning your internal memory is NOT write protected.
In order to root your device, you should be able to fastboot flash a custom recovery. Boot into the custom recovery and load the normal superuser .zip or manually over adb push an su binary (I prefer aosp for developers) and chmod 4755 /system/bin/su . Both of those methods should give you root!
Hope that helps!
So if I install another ROM and try to goto recovery mode (which at the moment I am getting the triangle when I enter) I should be able to re-root this?

I've quoted my previous post to highlight the steps outlined. I never mentioned anything about another ROM.
If the theory holds, as it was true for unrevoked's method of s-off and some members of unrevoked are now part of AlphaRevX releasing the revolutionary tool, you only need to flash a custom recovery through fastboot or bootloader.
If you have adb setup, it would literally take you 10 seconds to issue the fastboot command and another 10 seconds to reboot into recovery to see if t worked.
Currently, when you boot into recovery and you see the triangle, that is the stock recovery. Sometimes on the stock recovery screen, if you want to activate the menu, pressing vol up + pwr *should* work in stock recovery but sometimes manf like HTC change this function in the version of recovery they distribute.
Once you use the command: fastboot flash recovery c:\android\cwm-recovery.img , you should be able to boot into recovery and see the custom recovery load.
If that method doesnt work, the other method to attempt is loading a PG86IMG.zip file on the root of the sdcard with the custom recovery inside the PG86IMG.zip. Upon booting into the bootloader, it should scan this file and ask to update. If you select yes to update, the bootloader should flash and you should have a custom recovery.
If neither of those two methods work, you'll likely have to use the HTC unlock method. But I think those methods should work as your device still shows S-OFF.
Good luck!
Have tried all your methods and various other ones.
None of them work at all, a lot of the people on here seem to think that eveyrone has their abilities.
I could get an ADB shell up, the CMD prompt didn't work either.
The phone is going in its box and i'd rather spend some money on a phone that is easier to work with a windows 7 laptop.

The issues you're experiencing are due to HTC's complex locking method to deter root access. There are many Android devices which come stock with no locking protection or must less sophisticated locking protection.
If you're not able to properly setup adb, then the PG86IMG.zip method should be more convenient for you. All you need to do is put a PG86IMG.zip file onto the root (main dir) of your sdcard and holding vol down + pwr (boot into the bootloader). From here, it will scan the PG86IMG.zip and prompt if you want to load. Choose yes and this will flash the custom recovery.
Once the custom recovery is loaded, you should be able to flash a rooted ROM from, flash superuser .zip file or adb push su binary to restore root.
HTC intentionally makes this process difficult and it is relatively more difficult than other Android devices. All the resources are here at your disposal but HTC requires a bit more work/effort/learning to accomplish what is easier on some other Android devices. Although, even the Google Nexus S requires using fastboot to unlock t he device.
Nobody wants to see anybody give up and abandon. Hope that helps!
for whatever reason on the evo 3D, fastboot commands for things like flashing a recovery don't seem to work even with s-off. You need to put the custom recovery in a zip and name it PG86IMG then flash it from the bootloader and it will work.
fyi you should always be able to run a stock RUU (even new ones) because Revolutionary for the evo 3D gave you actual radio s-off and not just fake s-off with a patched hboot which is how Revolutionary worked on most phones. radio s-off pretty much means your phone will never go back to s-on even with a stock RUU. that is why you were able to upgrade the hboot and still keep s-off.
Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to give this one last try before I got and invest in an xperia arc s.
Does anyone have a decent download for the PG86IMG.zip file?
Ill try this at lunch, if not its away it goes.

fastboot commands don't work on the EVO 3D? even for recovery?
I haven't seen this complaint on the Q&A board. Majority of users seem to have plenty of success using fastboot to flash kernels and custom recoveries. Although, majority of people posting on the Q&A board recently have the latest hboot and can only use HTC's unlock method. Perhaps this is only an issue on revolutionary s-off devices?

Thanks guys. Again. Now would anyone be interested in purchasing the EVO 3D GSM sim free from myself?
hi I am in the same position as the OP, just got my phone 2nd hand..want to flash LeeDroids Rom, my phone is GSM version, please advise how to get custom recovery..thanks
I did the HTC Dev Bootloader Unlock;I installed custom recovery; and I installed a rom via fastboot that had everything....... including the hacked 1.05 hboot now i keep getting boot loop and forsome reason even though the bootloader says ***UNLOCKED***" at the top; it still says S-on.... any help?
Sorry I don't know the answer but maybe you'd get a quicker and better response in the Rooting thread in the Dev section.

You downgraded and then you unlocked the bootloader? Had never heard of doing any phone in that order
FWIK and from my personal experience with HTCDEV unlock is that you will never have S-Off, not without an Eng-HBoot. Hacked HBoot's and other exploits can help gain it but "S-On" is in reference to a security feature in relation to the kernel and recovery partition, it was a safety measure to (in theory) keep you from bricking your phone by flashing an unstable kernel on it through recovery mode and possibly being unable to restore your previous nand by effing your recovery up. That is a simplified explanation and not all the reasons but you get the idea. I hope you can get it fixed. Best way to try to fix it is to go back and start from the beginning with just getting an Eng-HBoot or a hacked one that will allow writing to the secure kernel partition through recovery (one that will allow you to copy the NAND part of your device and it's kernel, htcdev unlock only allows nand no matter what the recovery's log says), if you can't do that then try using fastboot in a cmd window to boot a saved recovery image from the fastboot directory on your computer, that may allow you to fix your issues, good luck, hope it helps

Have you tried using fastboot as a way to reboot the bootloader? I mean, my big thing is if you can get the pg img for the eng-hboot then you should be able to put it on your SD and then reboot the bootloader to let it try to boot the Pg, I know that I had a panic moment on the original EVO before they figured out a downgrade fix that I nearly bricked it, it wouldn't run the PG img check on first boot of the bootloader until I used fastboot to actually reflash the partitions on the phone (i may hate heimdall when I am working with samsungs but fastboot damn near broke me ha) the best thing to do it get a more intimate knowledge of the process and of fastboot and adb, they are great things to know how to use. Like I said I don't have a Thunderbolt but in dealing with HTC and HTCDEVs unlock tool I am pretty knowledgeable after working with it multiple times, I do know I had to downgrade my EVO (original) by manual partition flashing after I used the HTCDEV unlock tool, it unlocked the bootloader to allow me to boot what I flashed, but the kernel partition was still secure (S-On) this is what the tool, it seems that it was an attempt to cover their ass to ensure that those who don't know what their doing couldn't fully eff things up without more knowledge of the system and could reverse anything that may be unstable.
Hi hope someone can help or point me in the right direction. Ive already unlocked/rooted, haved CWM installed on my phone and S-on. I want to S-off but revolutionary program says my device isn't supported. I have a Evo 3D GSM European Hboot 1.49.0018. How can i get the S-off? I tried to flash infected eternity Rom and bootlooped each time i tried. I wiped dalvik, data, cache etc...i was wondering if S-on has anything to do with me bootlooping? Thanks for your advice.
ROMS that are not using stock kernel (Please correct me if I'm wrong, I only been here on the EVO 3D forums for 2 weeks ), can't be flashed with S-ON.
I believe you can downgrade your hboot and go S-Off. How that exactly works, I have no clue unfortunately.
Okay....i've tried to flash 2 different Roms now and all i get is a boot loop. I just tried to flash shooter beats but with no luck. Can anyone else shed some light on this issue? Does anyone know how to downgrade Hboot to turn S-off? Or point me in the right direction please?
I had that same hboot and was able to downgrade it using Flashmaniac's tool in the Dev section. Just follow his instructions, it worked for me. It does state, however, you must have one of the listed cid numbers (which I had, you'll need to check yours). There's a free app on the market called cid checker, it will find this info for you.
Once you've downgraded your hboot you can follow the normal procedure to s-off with Revolutionary.
Hope this helps
By the way, I've heard you can still flash roms if you're S-on if you extract the boot.img from the zip file of the rom and flash this first through fastboot. I'm not sure exactly what the procedure is but there are threads about it in the Dev section. Please don't try it without reading up first though, as I don't know much about the risks involved, if any.
Mine was 0018, but I downgraded it to 0007 using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495657&highlight=vodaphone+hboot
------------------------------------
Please give thanks if i've helped you!
Thanks for your responses friends. I managed to flash a rom with a stock kernel through CWM as was indicated in one of the posts. Thanks for that. I'm going to give the other options to S-off and downgrade a try tonight. I think the Evo is a lot harder to manage than the atrix and razr! I modded them phones no problem! I'll feedback to you tonight and let you know how it went.
Okay...i've downloaded flashmaniac tool for downgrading Hboot. I put my phone in USB debug mode, charge only, extract and run step 1, but nothing happens! I even tried step 2 but nothing! It seems that the program isn't seeing my phone. I don't have HTC sync installed, and i have the HTC drivers. So, i cant figure out whats wrong. I've even allowed install of unknown sources on my phone. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Did you make sure usb debugging was checked in settings??

hello i had problems with my unlocked, rooted but S ON evo with 0018 Hboot...
if you are S ON and want to flash a rom, here's the way :
1 Be near your PC.
2 extract boot.img from the zip you want to flash
3 flash the rom into recovery
4 DON'T REBOOT !!!
5 Power Off
6 go to fasbtoot USB
7 fastboot flash boot boot.img
8 reboot
9 done, worked for me
Hey,
My 3VO is not possible to S-OFF atm so I'm stuck with S-ON. To install ROMS that require S-OFF its easier to just enter recovery via fastboot. But that requires a computer.
The other solution is HTC Dumlock: http://teamw.in/project/htcdumlock
Using that method you can install roms on your phone without a computer.

Also it is a lot easier to just enter recovery from fastboot and install the ROM normally. Doing all that is just unnecessary to my knowledge.

your right, i remember back in the days, the first flash of my n1...
i applied this method after a normal flash and being stuck on withe htc screen... and someone on another thread told me to flash into recovery then flash the boo.img.
but yes do the whole flashing via fastboot is OK but in some roms like leedroid you cant choose some elements via aroma installer.
I myself can't say if aroma Installer works threw recovery via fastboot because I simply haven't tried it. I personally use HTC Dumlock and used it the other day to install LeeDroid. Aroma installer worked fine, everything worked except for the touch screen interface on the installer, had to use volume buttons, no big deal though.
I also have this Hboot and it can't be temporary rooted.
Is there any way to just root device with this Hboot? I don't want S-off.
Thanx for all your responses. After 8 hours today, i finally managed to s-off my evo. It wasn't easy. I finally changed my Hboot to 1.49.0007, using official firmware with European Hboot (PG86IMG.zip), xvi32.rar hex editor, adb, and fastboot. I had to relock my device through the process, and then use HTCDEV to unlock it once again. Once unlocked, i used revolutionary to gain root, recovery, and to S-off. There were a few tweaks which i had to make to get it to work. If anyone needs help please message me and i'm more than willing to help! I'm currently running Infected Rom Eternity 3.5 Nightly with no problems.

Yes there is, you have to unlock it with the HTC unlock tool (This will wipe your device so backup your phone, it will not wipe your SD card though):
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
Download this onto your SD card:
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Then download this pack of files onto your computer:
http://www.mediafire.com/?49156dz8d36xva3
After you have unlocked your bootloader with the HTC Tool.
Reboot into bootloader > fastboot and plug in a USB
Double click Open cmd in the pack of files you downloaded and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery-GSM.img" (or recovery-CDMA.img if you have a CDMA phone)
When that is all done, boot into recovery mode and do a full backup. (nice to have a backup of complete unmodified stock ROM).
Last step, while staying in Recovery press install from zip file and find
Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
When thats all finished just reboot and you should have a rooted stock ROM with S-ON

Thanks for letting us know how you got on, i'm sure it will help someone in the same situation in the future.
I agree, the E3D is a nightmare to mod compared to other Android phones! Glad you got there in the end
So, basically I wanted to root my Flyer (NA Wifi 16gb Honeycomb). When I tried following the normal instructions, I quickly figured out that HBoot version 1.11.00011 isn't supported by the Revolutionary tool. I then found out that HTC has an official boot unlocker, which I used. I assumed this was the same as getting S-Off, so I followed the rest of the instructions normally. I think I managed to flash my recovery with a ClockWorkMod .img (my CMD told me it had written it successfully), but when I then tried to boot from recovery, I got stuck on the HTC splash screen (stayed infinitely). When I then checked my Fastboot screen, I realized it still said S-On (eventhough, on top it now say Unlocked). So I did a bit more research, and I think that the only way to gain S-Off is by downgrading to Gingerbread. However, other people reported successfully flashing their HTC Flyer using the HTC boot unlocker (none of them provided instructions on hwo to do so, though). So do I have to downgrade to Gingerbread (which I don't want to), or is it possible to gain root access by using the HTC boot unlocker, and bypassing the Revolutionary tool?
EDIT: I have looked into the downgrading, procedure, and it doesn't look that hard, and I will be able to upgrade right back to HC. However I can't find a working file link for the download. Globtron posted one, but unfortunately it limits free users from downloading (tells me to wait for an open slot, and I have been waiting for a while). Can someone post a dl link for RUU_Flyer_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.36.1540.32_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_191425_signed.exe OR RUU_Flyer_BrightstarUS_WWE_2.27.1540.31_R_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204116_signed.exe
It would still be great if someone could figure out how to do this without having to downgrade, only using the HTCdev tool.

If you want stock, find your stock ROM in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644
Rename it to PH85IMG.zip and put it onto your external SD card. Boot into HBoot and it should automatically install the stock ROM. To root your stock ROM, use Hasoon's toolkit. It is literally fool proof.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493905
If you want a custom ROM, you'll need to install a custom recovery. Again, use Hasoon's toolkit and follow the instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493905
After installing a custom recovery, download and put the custom ROM onto your external SD card. Boot into recovery, go to "install from SD card" and select your ROM that you want to flash.
PS. If you're having problems with your phone, you need to post in the Q&A forum. This is a development forum.
