I just made the jump from my OG EVO to the E3D today, and I cant obtain unlocked status, I could have wrote a novel on rooting my og, (I could root, unroot, lock, unlock, downgrade my hboot, and upgrade it again...lol literaly,) so im no noob when it comes to using adb and fastboot, and have sucsefully used the HTC dev method on about 20 different phones without a hitch, the problem is I have the CDMA E3D with Hboot 1.50.0000, and when i submit my unlock_code.bin to my phone nothing happens on my phones end, where the normal unlock screen normally comes up, im still just staring at the fastboot usb screen, is this a common issue with e3d?? is there a work arround?? I have been googling, running RUU's and downloading PG86IMG zips for hours now with no luck

It will work man lol. Has for everyone else.... I never had that issue.. But everyone else that had it that RUU worked for them...
The download is slow as HELL man.... I had to get it the other day cause I had to unroot lol..
I suggest once you get that downloaded keep it since downloading it is so damn slow lol. Helps if you have to relock your phone and your sitting in HBOOT it will throw stock back on your phone..

I just got the HTC EVO 3D, and like a tard I updated everything not really paying attention to updating system updates. Well I updated to Hboot 1.5...
Is there a way to flash back or RSD back to stock firmware and software? Or am I screwed until they come up with a way to root at hboot 1.50
Thanks for the info in advance.

Unfortunately no, there isn't a way to downgrade. HTC makes it so you can't downgrade the bootloader (unless you were S-off). The RUU would error out at the bootloader, and tell you 'main version older' or something like that. You could use the HTC 'unlock' method and flash a recovery, but you'd still be S-on, and won't be able to flash kernels. If I were in your situation, I'd probably just hang tight for a little while and wait and see if revolutionary gets updated (because it's said that they're in the process of working on the 1.5hboot).
Yeah I just ran thru the HTC Dev unlock already. Back everything up, and flashed the recovery. I think I will try out the cleanrom for now and see if anything happens. I been up too long and I am delirious lol. Thank you for your reply. Hopefully I didn't screw anything else up hah.

Just an Update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224781
Here is an update on unlocked bootloader for 1.50 Hboot.
Confirmed it says unlocked, but seems to be some issues with s-on s-off. I was able to get recovery flashed. Now I am trying to flash cleanrom atm. As we speak booting to cleanrom. Booted...no issues thus far. Running great. Now I will try a different kernel and see if that works.
I am having a hard time with getting my voicemails sent to my evo3d as a notification for a new message.. this has been a prob for sometime now and I've always just thought that I never had ne voicemails or perhaps I haven't set up my voicemail account right or at all just yet when come to find out yesterday I had 33 msgs exceeding my inbox n lost em all.. never once had I got the notifications or alerts for any of em though. Can any one assist me in fixing this issue please? I've alrdy tried calling CricKet and having them reset my voicemail services n that didn't seem to werk either. So far that's as far as I got. Also, I can't seem to get the thumbnail photos of my contacts to show in the messaging app or whatever, not even as i am in the current conversation with sumone.. it just shows the blank pic. And they show in my contacts book/app just fine. How do I go about fixing this as well? Thanks in advance.. oh yea lemme give yu detail on my phones details to further help with the assistance. I am currently running "joeykrim's original 1.2.0 Odex" ROM which I had gottn off ROM Manager and flashed over using TWRP's 1.3 Recovery .. I might also add that i am with CricKet's slow ass service running on PRL #45512 in Colorado. And yes this ROM is the latest updated version of 2.3.4... If need more info or even a descent screenshot of my settings or info on device and image of the problems I'm having I can also provide upon request..
Sorry if this ain't the place for this question but I have searched evrywhere n did my part in th research n read rule alrdy n have found nuthn what so ever related to my concerns so please don't gimme the ol look around speech please... Thanks much in advance .. KaeDee. Please email me @ [email protected] or contact me private message with helpful or useful info thanks again..

Nah we were in this situation for awhile with the Incredible. Nand unlock or s-off lets you flash radios and hboot. . It also sticks through most updates for instance those who had s-off before the 1.5 update are able to go back if they want and are able to root without using htc unlock.
what you get with the htc unlock is a permanent root that allows custom recovery and roms. not sure about kernels as I have read conflicting posts. as always your best bet is to read up in the forums before accepting any updates from htc.
any updates fellow members security -off for the new hboot version ?

I unlocked through the HTC unlock . Its correct that it doesnt allow you to get S-Off , but from my expierence flashing on the 3D is as follows . If you enter fastboot through CMD screen and fire up recovery through CMD it flashes everything . I have flashed several different roms in the past week . Boot animations change , Kernels change everything changes . Now I have not tried to flash radios and so forth . That may still be locked out I am not sure from personal expierence . I only went the HTC unlock way , mainly due to getting a new job and now getting a discount through verizon . I may (Keyword MAY) jump ship to Verizon only due to coverage issues and the Droid Prime . For the time being the coverage issues I can deal with . Also most of my family is on verizon . But back to the main point . Most of the functions that I had with S-Off I am still able to do as long as I start up recovery through CMD prompt . I have a feeling HTC did this intentionally . My theories on it is , by forcing users to go through the command promt . It "kinda" weeds out the users that know what they are doing from the ones that don't. Yes its easy to get around it and now isnt so much a problem to flash through cmd and most anyone will eventually find the way to do so . But that is how the internet works , information is passed even faster than before and like all information . The ones who really shouldnt mess with it will get access to it and others who know what they are doing have it . When I mean by users that shouldnt have access I mean the ones who have no clue what a Kernel is and just flash things to flash things and end up with a nice paperweight . Im by no means a hardcore hacker or power user , but I do spend several nights reading as much as I can and asking the correct questions before I proceed with anything on my phone since its my only form of communication (no home phone).
I unfortunately dropped my phone this last weekend and shattered the screen. I still have it (probably for only another day) and it still works. Is there any way to use this rooted, s-off, busted phone to get s-off on my new phone that came installed with 1.5?

It's yousefAK....duh....
I will call balderdash on this, as he only made a video of the GUI, which could easily be cobbled together in about 20 min. The video was uploaded over a month ago (Oct 1), and is "in development". I'm thinking the exploit referred in the description either:
A. Never existed
B. Didn't work like the vid owner anticipated
Even the yousefAK offers this response, from 3 weeks ago (around Oct 21):
"Use HTC's unlock and flash TWRP 1.1. Then flash the SU files and you have permanent root. The only thing is that you will have to flash kernels through fastboot"
Hey everyone, I am unable to unlock my bootloader after accepting this OTA. I just got an EVO 3D yesterday and I updated it as soon as I got it. I first checked to see if it was an HBOOT below 1.5, it wasn't so I went ahead and updated. However when i get to step 12 i believe on the htc dev site, I flash the unlock_code.bin and nothing happens just sits there. I read around and found people saying you need to take the 2.08 RUU, I tried that and when it gets to the black HTC screen I get an error 140. I was so excited to get this phone and already downloaded the rom i wanted before owning it. If someone can please help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks

Same here.
The same RUU I used to revert to the .2sw update to unlock two other evo3d's with hboot 1.5, will not work. Im unbelievably frustrated right now as Ive been sitting at this computer for over three hours. Please, if you find a way to downgrade your software, please let me know. thanks
not sure why you wanted to be on hboot 1.50. but shouldnt be a problem to unlock the bootloader, since it was just minor updates and still on hboot 1.50. id just try doing the process again.
i unlocked mine with unlock_code.bin that i used when i rooted my evo 3d for 1st time.....it worked fine.
Tried 5 times and failed..

I didn't want to be on hboot 1.5, I wanted to be below it. But when I first got my phone I checked the bootloader and was already at 1.5. If it was below that I would've been rooted right now...
to be a bit more clear it was hboot 1.5 with an OTA 2.08 when I first received the phone.

1st Check you bootloader .What it says at the top .(locked/unlocked/relocked) if it says unlocked you do not need unlock_code.bin.

That's the guide I used to HTC Unlock. Video helped. There is a post somewhere about needing to Re-flash the stock RUU.exe or Ruu.zip (renamed to PG86IMG.zip) to get the phone past the "nothing happens" step where you're supposed to get the "unlock" option screen on the phone. I haven't seen the 651.5 released as a complete RUU, but you could probably flash the 651.3 RUU, finish the HTC unlock and then run the 651.5 update. Heck, the unlock would probably work after the update, idk for sure.

I have some tools and files for you to use that will give you temp root and allow a downgrade to 2.08.651.2 rom, hboot will still be 1.50 though. However from there you should be able to unlock via HTCdev method. I gotta upload the files and write the code which I will post up here in a second. I hope you are ok with using adb and fastboot.

I took a video of the process because I couldnt read what the RUU was saying. After updating signature, very quickly it says Checking Header...then it says checking MID/CID and then I get the screen that is attached! [Expletive deleted!]

It is locked. Its new. That screen comes from the .2 RUU exe.
I havent tried anything with adb. I havent used adb since the Evo4g. Have a link?
I have tried running the RUU with windows, I have tried PG86IMG.zip's, Ive tried RUU's while already being in fastboot. When I try using PG86IMG's through hboot, it loads the file, checks the file then dumps me back at the Hboot screen.

Adb is what most folks use to do all there stuff. You have to have adb installed to do the HTC devs route from what I have read. So the phone is locked and your tryin to root it. But are gettin errors ?
So your phone now is hboot 1.5 and is currently up to date and your tryin to root it HTC dev route but get errors?

Adb is what most folks use to do all there stuff. You have to have adb installed to do the HTC devs route from what I have read. So the phone is locked and your tryin to root it. But are gettin errors ?
So your phone now is hboot 1.5 and is currently up to date and your tryin to root it HTC dev route but get errors?

Yeah exactly. But posted on xda, you cant htc dev it with any software other than 2.08.651.2, which for some bizarre ass reason, I cant downgrade to!
I tweeted the other day "when the **** did adb move?!". so thats how long ago I used it. Im familiar with it, I used to delete all my bloat with adb, which was a painstaking process.

Thanks dude. Hopefully we can unlocked and junk. Did I mention I also love the reaper? Multiple reaper tattoos inspired by children of bodom album art. But I digress.
It would be nice if HTC updated their bootloader unlock method but frankly, I dont see that happening. I called them today and they dont support anything.

I'm sure there is a way to do it . Even on the new update cause hboot is still the same . I never had trouble back in the og EVO days when it came to root.

Who's stock with the latest update? Try the .2 RUU?
I'm absolutely stumped. My brain is hot because of it.

How did you do it???? Please help me/us out..I have the exact same problems, tried using the 2.08 RUU's and get an error 140. And when I try the HTC unlock method at step 12 when I flash the unlock_code.bin nothing happens, no disclaimer shows up. I am on 2.17.651.5 latest OTA and HBOOT 1.5.
how does this happen? solutions? im also not able to flash an ruu for some reason...stumped and have been working on this for an hour or so

Tampered is normal. Did you try flashing it with a ph98img, or as an .exe
It happens after you unlock and install a custom recovery I believe. Are you re-locked when you try to ruu?

Yeah make sure your bootloader is relocked
i was in the middle of doing s-off when the phone froze and corrupted the mem card...so i tried redoing the whole process over and i havent been able to get past the hboot...im still unlocked and have access to recovery and hboot but i cant flash a rom and boot into it...i cant run an ruu but the phone is not technically bricked...its an odd predicament...i just flashed a rom and i still cant get it to get past the hboot
Have you tried re-locking the bootloader and then run the ruu?

just run the latest ruu in hboot if you are s-off it will make the phone like it was from factory.
if you are s-on but unlocked you will need to do the "fastboot oem lock" then runn the ruu.
in both cases the ruu will nuke the internal storage. first pass with install a new hboot and stock recovery along with 2 other items, then the phone will reboot into fastboot and install the rest. i recommend that you have a 60% or more battery life.

Yeah I already got it up n running...between being unlocked and having a slightly dead battery I wasn't even being given the option to run an ruu...its running now but I still need to do s-off again, and of course my sd card is corrupted so ill work on that tonight
The same thing happened to me, glad I found your thread! Were you trying to s-off on the official ICS? That's what I was trying. I ran the .12 RUU and had unlocked, rooted and was trying to get S-off. I did the wire trick I was getting an HTC logo instead of Jbear logo. Right now I just relocked and it's running the RUU so I hope I can get back up and running.
I guess I should have just S-offed before running the ICS RUU
Edit: I am back up and running!

Hey, I didn't have to do this, but if you noticed, controlbear makes backup copies of stuff like boot.img (forget what else) and puts them on your computer. If you crap out you ought to be able to fastboot flash boot [bootimgfilename.img] and be able to boot up your phone. I saw where one person did this to get going again after a failed soff.
Yeah well happened in my case is that I was already s-offed and then I flashed the ruu to go back to stock...then I relocked my phone cuz I'm having an issue with one of the pins on phone (the terminal that connects to battery).so I was gonna get it exchanged, I wanted it to look absolutely stock...so the "relocked" status wasn't good enough, so someone suggested doing s-off again so it will show locked in hboot...well that's where everything went wrong, the phone froze at the wire trick and then the entire memory card was corrupted which is normal...so when I went to redo the whole s-off procedure again I kept rebooting into the blank screen with the arrow...could not get past that, so I resorted to putting my real sd card in...I had no backups for that card cuz that one has my actual personal stuff so I figures it'd be ok since I used a spare to do s-off anyway...well upon powering on the phone it was also corrupted...so Ive actually given up on s-off and getting my phone restored and replaced for a while...I don't know why s-off has always given me problems I've watched and read every vid or post about s-off and am in no way tech illiterate but I've always had problems with s-off (i lost all my pics and documents the first time I did s-off even thought I backed everything up cuz the only way to get it right was to eliminate every file in the folder and rerun it again cuz it didn't back up my sd correctly If at all)...its beyond infuriating
well that didnt last long...i just unlocked and s-offed my phone again, only to be returned to s-on and fully locked (indistinguishable from brand new in box), as i originally intended...im gonna miss this particular phone but it has to be done
Hi guys ive got my htc rezound here with 4.0.3 ics and ive unlocked it and i used scottys guide to root it everything was in place i even got superuser user to install. i decided i wanted to s-off it so i got a peice of cat 6 cable it seemed it would work being an ethernet cable. i used
JuopunutBear S-OFF and everything came up as said i did the wire trick a few times i failed and decided to try again. it went to reboot my phone and now my phone wont boot at all it only does 2 things. goes into the JuopunutBear menu which i can do nothing in. or goes into the boot loader and says tampered and unlocked at the top. i can not go into recovery. now the JuopunutBear apparently backed up my files. i do not know where they are or what to do with them. can someone help me get my phone working again much thanks.

Shoot me a PM if you need some help, no question is a dumb question so take your time and hit me up with anything you're not real sure about.
I'm guessing if you had problems it's either because of drivers, or you had like the gingerbread firmware and hboot and an ICS rom and patch, because that causes jp bear to look at your phone and say "WTF"
