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.

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.

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!
I have to admit that I'm a little confused. I'm just about to meet a guy to trade my current phone for the 3D.
Some of the things I'm reading lead me to believe that unlocking with the HTC method, rooting,etc will NOT let me run ICS once it's released.
If I get a phone on 1.50 today and unlock and then root using the posted methods, does that keep me from being able to run ICS ever?
If no, why wouldn't I want to use the HTC method?
As an aside, will wi-fi tether work with 4G if I run wifi tether?
Please help!
Thans
You will be ok. If your cell comes with 1.5 you can still root using htc method and you will be able to have ics and will be able to tether as well.

The method for flashing ROMs with the hboot 1.50 is that you flash it differently (through fastboot) though there are many guides out now that make it even more simpler. Anyway, the guides out now make rooting and flashing a piece of cake so don't worry.
1.50 S-ON = no worries, one more step, all good
Thanks Guys. I'm freaked out but am going to give it a try. After having a Photon and an Epic Touch, I'm so glad I have my 3D back, even on 1.50 bootloader. I missed this phone.
unlock coming soon
hboot 1.5 will be unlocked soon. and all is good with having s on unlock from htc. just another step!
Idk I'm not getting my hopes up on the new 1.5 hb unlock. You can flash roms in recovery the kernel won't flash tho. Fortunately this is android so there's an app for that.

Might have to root my wife's phone to get her ipad online at work.. I read thru this thread:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...-install-custom-rom-hboot-1-5-3-steps-21.html
However, as it is a year old, and as I think this forum is pretty well the last word in android geekdom, (term of endearment) I thought I would see about some updated root procedures for the 3d running hboot 1.5 (I'm pretty sure she is. have not got the opportunity to look just yet.)
Could someone point me in the direction of the latest ( and easiest) procedures to obtain s-off and flash a nice custom rom for my sweetie?
Thanks xda listers!
If the phone is already unlocked through HTC, then you can get s-off using the wire trick.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585846
If not, you can unlock it there first and then do the wire trick, or you can use closeone's live CD to downgrade your hboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563342
I found both of these in the CDMA development forum stickies.

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

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!
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
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

Long story short… I have been very busy for the last 6 months and not been keeping up with all the changes for the CDMA EVO 3D. I am not really sure the best way to get from here to there. I am not a noob and don’t really need my hand held or a dummy’s guide (I have been messing with Android since the HTC Hero and rooted lots of phones and pads). There has been just to many new ways to root and leaked roms…etc. It would be nice to skip all the BS and get caught up with what most people are currently doing.
My current config…
H-Boot: 1.40 s-off via Revolutionary Method
Recovery: TWRP v2.1.1
Rom: ViperRom Redline v2.5 RC2
Would it be better to just RUU back to stock Gingerbread then upgrade to ICS and re-root or is better way to get to ICS with root???? I am not trying save anything on my phone. I am a big fan of wiping and super wiping multiple times before loading a new rom. Also is there any benefit to H-Boot 1.5 or higher?
If this has already be asked can you point me to the correct thread.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I'm reading right, just search the development forums for an ics rom, flash it and you're good to go. NEVER TAKE OTA
Sent from my EVO 3DMA with a little "Common Sense"
Tl;dr.
Just kidding. I'm running the latest ics rooted Roms on hboot 1.4 revolutionary s-off. I ran freeza's firmware update without the new hboot. This lets me run everything except the new kernel (which most new Roms don't use). If you insist on the new kernel, you can upgrade the hboot too, but you lose the ability to flash aosp and GB Roms.
So, in short, you just need to pick a rooted ics Rom and go. I like zr3dx, Meanrom, homebrew, or common ground.
I also recommend you change to 4ext recovery. It's really nice.
