Software number safe to root? - HTC EVO 3D

Hi all got my 3d yesterday from a friend dirt cheap. he updated it a few days prior. Of course it had hboot 1.50 bit the software number is 2.08.651.3?
Question is it still safe to root using htcdev? I've seen the 2.08.651.2 but never the one in mine

Only difference between 2.08.651.2 and 2.08.651.3 is .3 has the recent security update OTA HTC/Sprint released and pushed .. a week or so ago.
Bootloader wasn't touched in the update.
Rooting should be same as 2.08.651.2 and hboot 1.5 using htc unlock method.
Good luck!

As I stated in my previous post in this thread, the only method avaible to root this version of the HTC EVO 3D is through HTC.
Root process is essentially two steps on this device.
1) Unlock the write protection on the internal memory
2) Load the su binary which grants root access on the device. This is generally loaded through a custom recovery.
There are a few guides sticky (meaning they are permanently at the top of the thread) in the CDMA development section. If you are unfamilar with the process and feel uncomfortable, I'd read 2-3 different guides to get a general feel for the overall process. To be honest, it is *fairly* straight forward and there are many guides posted all over.
If you're familar with ADB and fastboot, you can head straight to http://www.htcdev.com and follow their directions.
If you're interested in learning more generally about root itself, I have a free app in the market called All About Root which provides some great general information to help prepare any person looking to gain root access.
Hope that helps! Good luck!

[Q] 4G to 3D Questions

I've had a 4g since the release in June 2010 until last week when it fell and cracked the screen. They replaced it with a 3d. My 4g was rooted and I was flashing roms almost weekly. Now I have this 3d and luckily it has hboot 1.3 on it so I can use revolutionary.io to root it. However, I would like to temp root it so I could back up everything to titanium. My questions, 1) is it still possible to temp root? 2) there is an ota for version 1.13.651.7 which I haven't applied yet. If I do, will it upgrade my phone to hboot 1.5? (current version on the phone is 1.11.651.3) 3) is there a good stock rom out there that I can start with?
I also noticed theres not a posting where all the roms are listed?
I used this sticky to root. It was very simple.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196131
This sticky has the temp root method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218193
Here is the sticky with the list
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192661
Edit: I am assuming you have a CDMA Evo3D, since you are coming from the 4G.
thanks you for information, I found the answers in the links you sent me. The answers to my questions are 1) temp root is still available, 2) if you do the ota it will update hboot and 3) there is a list of roms available in one place. Do you know if that list is kept up to date?
And yes, I do have CDMA.
Thanks,
Jon
It doesn't look like it. Myns 2.3 isn't listed. If you do the OTA update, then yes you will get the 1.5 hboot.
which rom do you like best for the 3d? I was using swag on the 4g before my phone crashed but I changed it every week just cause it was fun..
Revolutionary does not reset any partitions when rooting/s-offing. At least it didn't for me with 1.4.
Assuming this is still the case,revolutionize it then get your backup.
Good luck!
I have 1.3 so I'll give it a try. I used revolutionary on my 4G. I think it just sets s-off so I should be good. I don't like that temp root solution.

[Q]Unlocking EVO and ICS

Hey, I have a friend who unlocked his EVO 3D , he says 4G isn't working. He used HTCDev method. He was running android 2.3.4 . The reason I even want to unlock is to fix the Shutdown issues . from everything I've read its a problem with the software. If Unlock removes WiMax is there a new way that I can gain s-off ? With 2.3.4 or any downgrade way? I'm sorry for asking these noobish questions, just got my Shooter this Saturday and my last Android what the Speedy(EVO Shift) and when I rooted it was in Froyo so I never ran into this "Unlock" issue. Well if you could help me or leave a link to a similar thread where they answered my question that would be great. I've literally looked for 4 hours last night looking for rooting and unlocking processes and they all don't say that it locks Wimax. oh and quick question. 3vo will be getting ICS the end of April right? Just need confirmation or at least a link. Everybody says "Soon" . And that isn't helping.

Unlocking doesnot do anything to WiMax.Which Software version do you have? 2.08 or 2.17 ?
If you want to downgrade, there is a thread stickied in the CDMA dev section.
Help?

Software version is 2.17. Then how come Htcdev unlock method locks up Wimax? Is there another unlock method? Can i downgrade back to gingerbread 2.3.3? If memory serves . GB 2.3.3 doesnt have locked hboot and all that you needed was to
use Revolutionary. Am I right? Sorry for so many questions. I just want to know as much information regarding gaining S-off on the Shooter. and can you leave a link?

Just a quick search could have saved your time...
Here is a guide to downgrade hboot 1.5 to 1.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547695
After that you will be on 2.3.3 and can get S-OFF via revolutionary.io
Then you can upgrade to 2.17 (not directly or the hboot will again be 1.5) with a different method.
Ok, thanks a lot for the information

Lost root after the last update from htc

I only want to root to have tethering but I don't want to flash custom roms.

rule of thumb is to never accept an ota if you want root
I wasn't planning on rooting when I accepted the update but now I do lol. Does anyone know how to root it after the update or at least when it will be made available?

You never accept an update If you are rooted or ever plan to root.
You cannot gain s-off with the newest update, but can still do HTC dev
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Thankfully, with HTC Dev, we'll pretty much always have the option of rooting regardless of update.
Yes, but I believe with the new hboot 1.15 there's no more flashing kernals, radios, or splash screens........ouch

the only thing u cant do if u took the update is u cant get s-off at this time.. u can still use all the other root tools... :good:

Radios and splash screens.. oh well. Not a big deal.
And kernels.. well, my views on kernels aren't popular so I will keep them to myself.
I really dont care to have S-OFF. I just want root access for tethering. I had the Old Evo 4G and I spent hours and days flashing roms and it was addictive! I just dont want to teak this LTE. To me ICS is working fine and I dont want to be hooked again of flashing, Nand backups and such.
I just want a safe way to re gain root, for Tethering. again I dont care about Bootloader or S-OFF.
Any input will be appreciated.
I made a topic on why you root and it got closed.. same reasoning I'm hearing about is why I wanted people to fully be aware this isn't the evo og and rooting could be bad this time

HTC Dev
Question guys, you can use HTC Dev for the Evo but you won't get S-OFF, what does that mean.
Can I still flash Radios, Modems, and can I tweak with msl reader like the old EVO.
Also has anyone found a root method post Google Wallet Update from July 11th. I decided to update because I was not rooted yet, but now I want to root.
Aw man, I'm a new member at xda, just got on the forums when I got my EVO LTE. I've been trying to lurk and read up but unfortunately never came across somebody saying I shouldn't accept OTAs... I was gonna wait until cm9 or aokp got a bit more stable to root and flash. What have I lost the ability to do by accepting this update?
Edit: nevermind, looks like I'll have to wait until root methods are updated, and possibly wait for another s-off exploit if if comes. Can't flash radios or kernels... Damn...

I'd imagine that it won't be long before someone comes out with an updated root method. Be patient, read and ask questions in the meantime.
If you are S-ON and rooted then you update with the new OTA can you still root the phone again?
I was rooted only and accepted the update. No longer have root access. I saved w voodoo root keeper, but it couldn't restore root after update. Figured that would happen just wanted to try it.
Also after the update, my clock speed only throttles down to 1ghz. Anyone else noticing this? Talk about a battery killer!

Edit: Scratch that 1ghz thing. Think maybe my widget was freaking out. Seems to be fine now. I was pissed at first too!
First rule of XDA is you don't accept OTA updates for any reason.
Just my 2 cents...I made the mistake with my OG EVO and had to wait for unrEVOked to be updated.

Is it possible to use someone else backup 1.31 the previous build when being rooted. I want revert back to the previous build. I'm on the latest update. The reason why i ask this is I want to go back to stock using Ruu.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Here man....it's a super quick process. Just copied and pasted from another thread....
I took the OTA and I'm rooted again.... It's not even that difficult.
I wanted google wallet and I wanted it bad! So I ran thru the hastle of hacking Google wallet so I could get into settings and clear it. Then HTC re-locked my phone. Ran the RUU, then accepted the OTA.
After you've updated...
Run the HTC unlock. Instructions at HTCdev website.
Then flash TWRP (I used adb fastboot method):
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/98
Once that's installed you can flash supersu via this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1538053
Find: CWM installable ZIP in the OPs sig block (it works fine with TWRP on 1.22 software)
From there I just installed busybox (by Stepen) via the market. Grabbed Titanium Backup, and here I am. Rooted phone with 1.22 stock ROM.
Not all of the old mods work anymore though. My favorite, which was the battery mods, don't work. They don't even come close to working, so make sure you nandroid backup before you start tinkering..
I'm rooted but my phone is acting weird after using the HTC unlock method with the latest update

Root question.

Hi, its been awhile since being in the root scene. Last being my HTC EVO 4g.
So, I now have the e4glte. It came with software version 1.13, so I'm assuming I have the supported lazypanda hboot. But how would I go about double checking my hboot.
Secondly, once I'm rooted, where can I find the 1.22 ota stock rooted. Havnt been able to find it browsing the forum on my phone
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE using xda premium
To get to the hboot screen first make sure that under Settings>Power, that Fastboot is unchecked. Power off phone then push Power and Volume down at the same time. Should pop up with the Androids skateboarding.
Now for the 1.22 software you'll have to search through develpoment, but you should know that were up to software 2.13 now. 2.13 comes with Sense 4.1 which gave us more to do with, esp the remapping ability of recent apps.
Hope that helps.

Thanks a ton, I did some more research. Seems I have the launch software, but it was nagging about the 1.22, so I thought that was the latest.
Seems I'm one of the lucky ones as I bought this phone today, and I have the 1.12 hboot and the1.02 radio.
So ill I need to do is use the lazypanda method to diff then flash a 2.13 Rom of my choice?
Is there any Plain stock 2.13 roms that anyone can link?

For the most part, yes. But it would also be good to update the firmware and radios which can be found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30865522 Make sure you obtain s-off before attempting this though.
And I tried looking for the stock 2.13 ROM but I can't seem to find it right now. If you can't find it though, I know I should have a copy on my pc that I could put on dropbox for you. Just let me know.

I am guessing it is for Tmobile?
I have that same version.
It disables revone or moonshine for working so essentially s-off.
I was able to still unlock the bootloader via HTCDev and root using TWRP and SuperSU.
Not really sure what s-off does, since I am able to load custom roms and etc. with current setup anyways....
....
S-off lets us convert to the full GPE version and get ota. I hope devs find a way of getting s-off on 531.11

s-off is security check off. it stops the bootloader from checking for signatures pretty much letting you flash Whatever aslong as the recovery accepts it. can also turn off the recoveries signature check but thats alot easier to do as the recovery alows you to do so freely.
And anyone wouldnt happen to know more info on this would they. as ive noticed sense i did the manual OTA update via HTC's site, regaining s-off is proving to be imensley didficult. "i s-on'd whiel debugging things and regret it lol"
From what I have been able to gather the updated 1.44 or 1.54 cannot be s-offed using revone or moonshine currently.
I'm pretty happy right now, all I care about is GPe 4.3 anyways. Running of 4.3 ROM, firmware, and radio with just unlocked boot loader
