If you unlock and root your phone you will probably have ICS available to you before HTC releases an OTA via a custom rom.

the dev's here will probably have a leaked release (with any changes to the UI), make it 10x better then the projected ota and post it here, you'd d/l it and flash it onto your rooted phone.

This is correct. 90% of the time, devs have a stable leaked release before the OEM actually releases it.

What does the bootloader look like on it? I'm guessing it's locked but I haven't seen anyone say for sure one way or the other.

It looks like the same hboot as the leaked ruu so I take it the rom is the same too? If not then that means htc probably could have shipped it with an unlocked one but didn't.

8 days and counting, can't wait.
I spent a good 6 hours last night prepping my Evo 4G for trade in, unrooted it and installed the stock 3.70 RUU, which finally gave me the 4.22 OTA update as well. Had the "main too old, update failed" problem for the better part of 5 hours, solved it by re-doing the mtg-eng.img through adb, the 3.70 RUU went on just fine after that.

Brings Android 2.3.4, breaks any root exploits out there, new availability to unlock bootloader (although one person who tried having problems trying to flash custom recovery with unlock, also unlock doesn't give S-OFF), new radio, new pri, and a whole lot more. I suggest not taking the OTA and doing the revolutionary.io S-OFF method and then flashing one of the new 2.3.4 rooted ROMs in the Development section.
It has the updated version of Swype, which was the reason I upgraded.

<Warning> People on Evo 3D getting the new OTA: do not update yet, unless you've already ran Revolutionary to S-OFF.
Yezzir, just saw that
(I am Un-Rooted, But I want to root today!) Am I reading this correctly? do NOT update with the OTA (8/18/2011) update, UNLESS I am already rooted?
So if I root today is it safe to update with that OTA update that came out today *8/18/2011?
I think the update does patch the current root method.
Plus for piece of mind don't ever accept OTA updates from sprint or HTC if you like your root and s-off.
I don't know why some people insist on running a update knowing in the back of their mind they'll possibly/probably loose root, and who knows for how long. Just wait a day or two for the devs to implement it in their ROMs.
You can still take the update because HTC just released the bootloader unlocked method for the HTC EVO 3d.

HTC unlocker = clusterfuck

yea not understanding htc way ... unlocked bootloader but you still have s-on ?
Nobody even knows how HTC's unlock even works. There are Sensation users with S-Off and they used HTC's method. Unfortunately, there's about 10 posts like those above to 1 post of actual information about it.
Its looks like its a partial unlock.
I'm sticking with revolutionary, I have root, everything is working awesome, n I didn't lose my warranty
So your saying since I have s-off with revolutionary, I can take the update and still have s-off? Also will this update break root?

If you take the ota through system updates and if you have a custom ROM and recovery it will not allow you to update. It will give you an error message. If you decide to lose the custom recovery and go forward with the ota it will lock your phone with S-on and you will have no way going back to 2.3.3. You will be stuck with lastest ota 2.3.4 with S-on and no root. Then if you decide after that you can't get back to 2.3.3 and think since you can't go back might as well go forward with HTC's bootloader unlock method. It will unlock the bootloader but you still will have S-on and noway of flashing a custom recovery which means no root. If your dying for this update check out the dev section and I believe you can update the prl, kernel, firmware mins the hboot. Check it out. If it was me I would wait for revolutionary or a team that knows what they are doing to release an rooted ota.

Hello!
I recently purchased a EVO 3D from a member here. Little did i know that it was on a custom rom, rooted and all that non-sense. Either way, I got a soft brick and would really just like to get the stock rom on the phone. Could any of you provide me with a x515a rom? Even a nand would do if considerable. Right now i cannot find a original rom accept for one of the devs on this board via PM, which wants money for it.
A developer on this forum should not be charging you money for a rom, you need to report this developer to the mods.

Went back to stock and rooted it, deleted all the Rogers apps via Titanium backup (im in the US so they dont work anyway). I like stock, ive always liked stock roms the most. Less bugs, less issue and in this case, better battery life. Its always been that case for me tho .

OK, here is another question: I being watching some of the PRO's and CON's of ICS for my EVO 3D (youtube videos), maybe is not good idea to upgrade to ICS get rid of the phone, get a new one with the new OS, move to Samsung phone. Like I said I could get out of the contract for $70.00 and get a new 2 year contract.
Sell this one as it is, and avoid the head pain someone created for me.
Any suggestion?
