If you are having issues and are getting phone unlocked in ADB but no choice to pick unlock phone. Just sits there in hboot and your phone is updated to 2.17 you will need to this http://www.filefactory.com/file/c19...216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed.exe
Use this it will fix your issue.
do i need to be rooted to install this?

Hi Guys,
I just got my EVO 3d Today. Am really excited needless to say.
Ive managed to unlock the boot loader using the official HTC Bootloader unlock tool(Since my software version was 1.20). Now it says unlocked but still has "S ON". Been going crazy for hours now trying to root it. Even tried going into recovery but just get an error symbol.
Would appericiate if anyone can tell me how to go about it or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

easiest way to fix it is to download the stock root 2.3.3 in the devolpement thread and it will give u root after u flash it mape sure u data/wipe and dalvik wipe its in advanced if u need anymore help just pm me
edit: if it still says s-on the go to development thread got to rom guides and use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root its really easy to do

Thanks for the input. The problem is that i can't go into recovery. Every time i try i get a Red Triangle with an !.
I have ONLY used the HTC Dev unlock method and nothing else. Do i need to do/install something more in order to go into recovery?
Just use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root it would be your best bet now i was helping a friend do it the other day and he. Messed but i have a fix if after u do it u get s-off but not root if u need me to help u will going through doing I can but u will have to wait a few hour I am about to go to. Bed u can pm me or hit me up on g+ because my link is in my signature
I shot the maid! What can I say? 3vo shooter
Oh and i can't use revolution because my software number is 1.20.401.2 (When i click on check for updates it says device is up to date) and revolution is only compatible with 1.30.0000 and 1.40.0000
Are u on 2.3.4 or is ur 3vo a gsm phone?

Yes i am on 2.3.4 and my evo3d is a gsm phone.
Totally lost here.
Umm... you need to flash a recovery through fast boot...the red triangle means you don't have one... also if you are unlocked push su through adb and you should have root. I never used HTC official unlock but have rooted several phones... after you unlock the bootloader you push su and flash a recovery

from my understanding, once you use the htc unlock method you can't get s-off for now, until theres an exploit found. I followed a vid on htcevohacks.com and got mine rooted using 2.3.4 but I stil have s-on... not sure if it even matters because i can still go into recovery and flash roms.

Unfortunately its for software number 2.08.651.2 and above. Im on 1.20.401.2. Even when i click on check for updates it says device is up to date.
So basically this method can't work for me .
Guys issue resolved. Even though my device was initially unlocked using HTC Official unlock method i just ran revolution, followed the steps and now I'm unlocked AND rooted by revolution. Just wanted to share that.
Thanks for all the help people.

Anyone know of any gsm Roms other than virtuous shooter? Or is there a way to get back to the stock gsm rom?

Sorry for the thread similar to other but mine is a little different and am looking for confirmation before I break my phone
I will be selling my Sprint Evo 3D that is rooted with S-Off. It currently has Fresh Rom 4.2(with the newest update) installed. I am likely selling it to someone who wants it stock and unrooted. Am I ok to run the ruu in the link below, anything else I need to do? Thanks!!

Just ensure to rename the file properly but, yes, that is all you need.
Thank you so much! I just wanted to verify before I bricked my phone right before I sold it.
Will this work for the 1.5hboot htc unlocked method to make it appear stock?

I've never had to deal with the HTC unlock method however I believe you can just go to the website and re-lock your phone. I know I have seen this questions pop up before.
Hey,
My phone says S-Off but above that it says LOCKED. Does that mean I am out of luck because the bootloader is locked? Is this any type of advantage over an S-On phone considering HTC shut us out?
Thanks

if you s-off you should be able to flash a recovery.img in hboot and then flash a rooted rom or root package...regardless of locked or not
but tbh ive never been in that situation so i cant speak from personal experience
maybe someone else can chime in on that

Yeah, I got the phone from a local Verizon employee the day it came out. It came in a white box. Pretty cool that it is S-Off. The plastic faceplate has a crack through it though, I think the quality control might have been skipped on these employee versions. I never dropped it, the crack just appeared.
Anyway back to Roms. I hope it is true that I can just flash a rooted rom. Anybody know for sure?
Is there a way to pull a copy something off of the phone to help with the ongoing s-off efforts?

You'd have to flash a recovery first, but it should work. Only one way to find out.

Ok I'll try that after work today and advise.
I wish I could take a screenshot of the bootloader screen so that you guys can better understand my situation. I'll try to get a camera later and take a photo.
It worked. I am now rooted with TWRP recovery. Thanks guys. Let me know if there is anything I can pull off my phone for you.
The only reason I may switch back to stock is for the international functionality that they say is coming to this phone. I really need that.

what is your hboot?
is it an ENG hboot or is it the stock hboot_1.02.0000?
if ENG you could pull that it could be of use if/when s-off comes for this phone.
BUT it's really not a big deal as I already have a friend who does have the ENG hboot for this phone so he will be giving me it, just wondering if you have it as well, and if they would be the same.

It is stock Hboot.
Does having a locked bootloader limit me in any way?

It might block you from using fastboot commands without a patched hboot. However, I would sacrifice those to keep ***LOCKED*** status.
Morning all! Sorry this is my first post, so I had to put in in general here, but I just got my DNA yesterday and I was unable to stop the OTA, I have tried to use the SuperCID unlock and whenever I try to do anything with ADB i get "Access is denied." I assume the OTA has cause the current version 2 of the SuperCID to not work? Or am I just making a newb mistake and not doing something right? Thanks for any feedback!

Your mistake was allowing the OTA. There is no current method to change CID/unlock post OTA.

That's kind of what I though. I'm sure it will get unlocked somewhat soon, I can be patient. Luckily this phone is bearable without being rooted, just never had a phone long, before I rooted it.

It's funny that you say this because that exact person and the creator of this unlock method is not only a couple of posts above yours. It's almost ironic
Hey guys I have been wanting to root my DNA so I can put a rom on it. I can't find anything for 4.4.2 with software number 4.09.605. 1. Let me know if yall have a method that will work with this! Thanks!
I've been looking for the same thing. Upgraded to 4.4.2 and now I cant unlock the bootloader. I boot it into recovery and it says I am s-off.

I got mine rooted and s-off. Do the firewater method. It took a bit of common sense to get it all going, but I finally did it. It's not letting me post the link to the video so just DM and I'll get it to you.
You also might wanna learn a bit on entering commands.
Good luck!:good:
