read this there are Hboot drivers for windows make sure you have HTC sync uninstalled.
Anyways make sure your Hboot is one of the latest 2.16 i think is the latest.
What Hboot do you have? Your phone CDMA also?
Are you talking about the HTC EVO? Not the Evo design? Nor the EVO 3D

Also make sure there isn't any PC36IMG.ZIP on your phone. Prior to root.
Your talking about a EVO CDMA not a EVO 3D right...

Depends on the hboot. Revolutionary works with hboot 1.3 and 1.4. For hboot 1.5 the safest is with the HTC unlock method.
To figure out what hboot you have power down your phone and pull the battery for a few seconds to clear the fastboot. The press and hold vol. Down + power button which will boot into the bootloader and will tell you what hboot you have.
For hboot 1.5

Don't donwload that file unless your on the HTC EVO CDMA and know what HBOOT you are using the latest is 2.16 i think.
If your on the EVO 3D you will need to root HTC method if your hboot is 1.5.

EVO 4g? I could be wrong believe the last ota that was released borked the ability to root until a new exploit method is found.
My point is that if he has updated recently then idk if he can root.
Again I could be wrong

This is the EVO 3D section.
You have an EVO 4g.
This is a better direction for you. Any questions you have should be answered here.

Can you PM me with info to do this...?? I have it partially done now, I think Im missing some things. The Evo 3D works (accepts calls and sends/receives texts)when the donor is on, but as soon as the donor goes off I cant dial out or receive/send texts on the 3D. WHat am I missing?? What tools did you use? I have all the majors CDMA WS 3.8 (new HTC tools) QXDM, QPST...
Thanks in Advance...

This man is right. Radio flashing is one of the things that's restricted with hboot 1.5

fellas, i cant give away the info. i went thru hell to get it & the mods would kill it soon as i post it due to "legal" reasons (check the 4g forum, read between the lines for the missing info)

Rooting Question.

Hello all, I'm just wondering, if once you root via HTC's method (since my phone is 651.3 there's no other way that I know of) can you make your bootloader say *Locked* (NOT relocked) in case you need to get service at a sprint store? I know you can remove the yellow triangle on certain Samsung devices so I figured I'd see if you could do something similar on the EVO. Thanks guys.

No, you can only modify the hboot text with s-off. If you really wanted, you could actually relock it using fastboot but I think even then it says relocked instead. I don't think there's much reason to...it sounds like Sprint doesn't really care. Especially since you unlocked using a method provided by HTC.

Ok thank you. Now, I know with the EVO 3D, and using htcs unlock method, you had to use fastboot to flash kernels and recoveries, is this still true on the new EVO?

People taking this unbranded thing too seriously. the only difference in unbranded version is the different cid it's like a access code since we don't have a ics ruu for that cid we had to s off our phones (breaking the access code so it accept any brand) that's the difference, other than that all Amaze 4G's are the very same so yea, I did the same way chevy did

Nonsense. You changed the hboot and became s on. Now you have to s off again and flash the right hboot which I think is the jbear one.

Back to the point,
Now for the 2nd time I'm telling you, you have to do the s off process again. At the end of the process if it asks you if you want the jbear hboot choose yes.
This isn't rocket science, you aren't programming a satellite, nor are you short circuiting your phone, so calm down people. If you are that worried and paranoid about it you need to leave xda and get an iPhone or something that doesn't challenge your mind and isn't technologically advanced. So if anyone else is reading this that's clueless about this process just keep that it mind.

I'm a big fan of FNG's (F**King New Guys)

I need to RUU. I'm confused which one I should pick?

Out of this list
http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Jewel
which one do I pick?? I'm running baseband 1.12.11.1210 with Sense 5 port r141 currently. I am S-off. I would like to unlock my bootloader again if this will lock it so do I just run HTC Dev again? If so, is it the EVO 4G+ dropdown because I don't see one for Evo LTE? Or should I just use the Viperuu one which I think can unlock the bootloader again?
Since you are S-OFF you can run the latest RUU
Or yes use VipeRUU and start over from scratch

Yes you can downgrade or upgrade the hboot all you'd like but first you will need to s-off your phone. Here is a guide that I looked over a lot before I did it. It does work. (http://androidforums.com/evo-v-4g-all-things-root/695161-s-off-root-fix-everything-all-in-one.html) I call it jbear wire trick. I am not the one who made it but it does really work. If you need me to I can make a video and re s-on my phone and do it again. I was thinking about doing this anyways. Let me know, if the text guide is to confusing to you and il get a video up on YouTube soon.:thumbup: good luck.
