Noob question about root? (Sorry lol) - HTC EVO 3D

I need to root a 3D on my account but i'm at a loss. Had the original Evo and never rooted it since I only had it for a month b4 I went with the Epic. I rooted both Epic's with no problem it was mad easy. However I don't know if its me but the Evo process seems like its more complicated from what I'm reading. Or maybe it's just the fact I don't have the 3D in my hand at the moment. My thing is what is hboot and how do I check what version I am on? I don't even know what s-off is either smh lol. Is there a link with maybe easy steps to follow? PS flame away if ya need too i'm a Samsung boy so I know i'm a lil slow on the Evo..

Just go on the dev section in the "stickies" thread and there are multiple threads on how to root and answer all your questions. when you get you phone, to find out what hboot turn off, hold power and down button. since it is a new phone more than likely it will be hboot 1.5.

Ok thanks I guess I'll do that. I did search the Android development section but this app don't show the stickies.. I'll check it from a PC instead when I get a min.

Yo, "that ****" will make the difference between you bricking your device and doing it right. Read the steps, because if you don't people won't be polite to you when you come back with problems.
I did read it bro, it says at the beginning "Step 1 - backup everything on your phone, nandroid backup"
that's what I'm not sure how to do yet, I haven't used it since about May and it looks different than the original Evo, so I'm completely lost!!! The menu has changed completely since I last used it...

What? It is just like any other recovery, go to "backup" from the first menu and backup. If you can't make it past that point in your own, maybe you shouldn't be attempting this.
And did you pm a mod to move this as it most certainly should not be in this section.

I haven't contacted anyone to move it yet cause I didn't know who to contact... I posted from the mobile app, it was on accident... but yeah on the evo it was different... I seen backup partition in the recovery, but I didn't see how to backup the rom specifically. like I said I haven't done this in MONTHS and I'm trying to remember/learn how to do what needs to be done, I'm sorry if I'm annoying anyone I just need to learn this
seriously man, you need to do some more reading. you are going to end up bricking your phone. you are trying to rush into this without knowing what you are doing. read the stickies in the forum, then when you think you know whats going on, read some f'ing more.

[View] Want to Downgrade to GB from rooted HC

Not sure if this is the right section for such a problem, but hopefully someone can help me. I have an HTC EVO View 4G that I had Gingerbread with Revolutionary S-OFF and rooted. I then upgraded to rooted Honeycomb, but didn't make a backup (I'm not concerned about losing everything).
Is there a way to downgrade to Gingerbread? It doesn't matter if it's unrooted or not. I just want to get back to GB any way I can. I used an RUU .exe to get back to GB, but now my View is stuck at the white HTC screen. I can only access the HBOOT and FASTBOOT menus with the power and volume button. I can't access Recovery, it just goes to the white HTC screen.
Any suggestions on what I can do?
set up teamviewer and send me your connection details in a PM.
Find a 10 story building.
Go to the roof.
Hold tablet over edge.
Release tablet.
Problem solved.
This method worked for me. I was unbricked and rooted after that.

How to root with boot 1.50.0....

Hey guys, I'm trying to root my new EVO 3d with revolutionary but it doesn't support 1.50.0 only 1.40.0. Is there a new way or can someone point me in the right direction please. Maybe there's a way other than revolutionary? Thanks, I'm still learning here ......

GO die in a pit, when you do, it will be rooted.
youll probably get flamed for posting this question for 2 reasons.
1) wrong section...ask questions in q and a section
2) you didnt look for the answer b4 asking
check the roll up sticky in this section for the answer to your question. good luck, i just did it myself
okay so read the hboot 1.5 thread which is made already but only way for now is you need to unlock your phone through htc then thats it the thread will tell you the rest. btw dont forget to thank me for being the nice one to post you this.

Here you go. http://htcdev.com/bootloader this is the link for unlocking your phone. Some people can be mean but they are right this is the wrong place. You always have to read the Q&A first. There is a lot of good info there it just takes time but in the end you always find what you looking for. If you have any question just send me a message and ill help you.

Do you skip threads that mention 1.5?

I have found myself skipping over threads that have 1.5 in the title, pop up dialog, or short thread summary in the app.
Does any one else do this? Wish it wasn't this way.

Deleted. Because my response was just as useful as the threads mentioned...
I just got the EVO 3D a few days ago, but as a themer this is in no way my first go around with gaining root access on a phone/and unlocking the bootloader.
When I came into these threads I had no experience with having to use HTC's (Stupid) unlock tool.
but I went to the roll up sticky thread on here found a guide to make sure I knew I was doing...
asked one little question on IRC I didn't see discussed on the threads , and I was done rooting and had flashed MeanROM in Total time: about an hour
I think if people would just learn to try and read and figure things out, instead of posting a thread about every little question and waiting for a reply they'd get done much sooner.
The guide to unlock the 3vo's bootloader was very easy compared to other devices I have used,
Tl;dr: noobs will be noobs.
It's not as easy for some where the HTC unlock doesn't even work. While others should just read the damn instructions and pray it works, it doesn't always work. It worked for me, but on my friends 3D I can't figure out for the life of me why the unlock will not work. I've tried just about everything. He has software version 2.17 which will not accept a 2.08 RUU and everything else I've tried fails on the last command to unlock the phone.

I just ignore any threads with "MIUI" in the title, 1.5 hboot not so much
I'm on 1.5 and actually look for those threads when I'm logged in. But I do see waaayy too many of them for people to be trying to look around.
Unfortunately it seems like many of the useful "stickies" haven't been updated/clarified in a while (imo) and are creating some of the confusion. I've asked in some of those threads for the op to update the links etc (ruu's, Su, recovery, Hboot 1.5, adb/fastboot cmds) and haven't seen a reply.
I ended up creating a thread to help with this until/if the others get updated:

1. Yes, you can still flash ROMs even on the new hboot.
2. All you have to do is use RegawMOD to do everything, and then flash a couple of SU zips.
3. Questions belong in the Q&A section.

...not as much fun, though.
EDIT: Just to clarify, the previous doesn't mean that I can't wait, it just means that I feel the frustration of others who had bad things happen (like OTA updates!). We'll get it, though. Still a new phone, still lots of fun stuff to play with....and at least we have the HTC Unlock available, and can still get root.

Well.. Someone complained and blamed HTC for their own mistake, and then someone else decided they wanted to purposely break their phone in order to get a new one.
So it's probably as silly as it looks.
Being S-off is overrated. Its the same as being HTC Unlock.

That's not exactly true after this last update. If I recall correctly, if you HTC Unlock on 1.22, you can't flash kernels through recovery, you have to do it another way. I think there were other things we couldn't do anymore as well.

Absolutely not my good sir. In Addition to flashing kernels, you can't flash radios, splash screens, ect through recovery and you can't flash anything not signed by HTC via bootloader

Rule #1. Please do not spam the forums with silly questions.
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
