[Q] Update for EVO 3D question - HTC EVO 3D

I have a question please:
I have uproot it the EVO 3D, two moths back, and I have get this two updates, (but unsuccessfully fail) not sure if I need them
Android 2.3.4
HTC 3.0
Software 2.08.651.3
1-system enhancement 29.13 mb
2- OTA_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5-2.08.651.3_release_2353522hivy65lggcg2tmb.zip
How to update?
or
Do I need them?
IN the past, I have post sincere question to my concern, however I have found that many of you don't care for us newbies, is discouraging for some of us, that we are trying to keep with some of you who seems to know much, about gadgets, but not about people.
So help us out, we are part of the community that use this system.
thanks for your patience's

Is your phone rooted? Did you unlock your phone using Revolutionary or the HTC unlock method? If you're not sure, pull the battery out and put it back in, then hold volume down while you turn the phone back on. Look to see what bootloader version you have, see if it's s-off or s-on, and if you're on hboot 1.5, see if it says locked, unlocked, or relocked.

I'm confused on what you wanna know. If you're rooted then you never wanna take an update. If you're not rooted and don't plan on rooting then yeah go ahead and take the update.
And hey guys, lets help him and not flame him? Flaming goes nowhere. Should be in q/a section btw

I had the same problems with my phone. It took me about 4 days to get my phone rooted. which was today.
1. Update your phone to 2.17
2. Go to HTC Dev and unlock your phone. if this does not work reinstall the RUU from http://shipped-roms.com/ match up your phone software with the RUU software. you can download the EXE or Zip if you want. Retry HTC Unlock
3. follow one of these two guides

http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-root-evo-3d-2-08-651-2-and-later-htc-unlock-method/
4. After this you should be rooted and installing roms in no time.

Wrong section, please pay attention to where you are posting next time.
In regards to your question, there really isn't an "easier way". The AlphaRev tool is one of the easiest I have ever seen. I suppose if that is too hard you could void your warranty and go the HTC route(Not Recommended).
i already did it with HTC. i want clockwork or something.

Since you followed HTC's method you are stuck as of right now. Their method unlocks your bootloader, but still has a NAND lock keeping you from flashing to different partitions. This situation is similar to the OG Evo if I'm not mistaken. Just wait around and a root method should appear.

You will see claims from people in these forums that they were able to root and install recovery using HTC's unlocking, but those are false claims. All of those posters had been previously rooted using revolutionary.io. No one that took the OTA on a phone that hadn't previously been unlocked have been successful installing a custom recovery.
Basically you have an unlocked bootloader, now you will have to wait for someone to come up with an exploit like "rage against the cage" from the Evo to unlock the nand and attain s-off. If you had the original Evo 4g you will remember that in order to root you had to use unrevoked or Toast's method. Something similar to that will now be needed.
For those reading this your best option is to hold off using HTC's unlocker and if you haven't taken the 2.08 update use revolutionary.io to unlock your phone and if you did take the update or have a phone that came with the update, wait for an update to revolutionary.io.

I completely agree that many of the new users do often get a bit excited and "rush" to root or unlock their devices (without fully understanding or reading directions) and end up in a lurch. But not a single person on this forum should log in to make a person feel bad or incompetent. If you see someone that jumped the gun and is lost, please help them. If you can't, then just let someone who can do it. We are all here to learn and help each other out. Let's stick to that and everyone will be happy.

Amen! I totally agree.
Furthermore, vBulletin, phpBB, Wiki* and most technologies used to share and publish information and content are just terribly inefficient in regards to topics like these (Android, rooting, development, tech, etc.). Newcomers simply can not come into forums like these and find the info or content they want consistently. You can tag, break stuff up into sub-forums and make stickies like 3M 'til your blue in the face but until you fully understand a noob's thought process and behavior and have the software reflect that we forever will have these problems.
One temporary resolution is to try to change the one variable we can change in this equation. That is to try to cease the negative comments since we already know noobs and their questions are a constant.
Do not use the HTC root method, just use the Revolutionary method and before doing so download and copy TWRP and a ROM and flash in HBOOT\Recovery
root with s-on
Like an idiot, I unlocked my bootloader via official HTC way. I have not rooted my phone with revolutionary, my phone was completely stock. I was able to flash CWM via fastboot and install superuser via CWM.

search, it's been discussed already.

I wish u gave me a useful answer other than the usual flaming....i didnt see any thread other than mikes and it only got one reply maybe something new came of it..
HTC tool unlocks the phone, however does not provide S-off for us. From my understanding there are developer versions of the Amaze running around and the only person I have seen with one is Xboarder. Not really that big of a deal I guess because Xboarder has a kernel flashing tool you can find in the development section.
Im aware of X's kernel flashing tool but S-off will make all our lives a lil easier...

Seriously? You didn't see the thread that said
Everything S-OFF - Think tank, General information, Q&A
So I am guessing you didn't see the part where it says:
There is no way to get S-OFF on a normal S-ON phone now.
You don't actually need to search. It's a sticky at the top of the Development section.
That includes the HTC Supertool.
It took me literally ten seconds to find the post you were referring to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413787
And the post #2 looks very familiar. Guess what? Nothing has changed or else we wouldn't have the other posts asking for s-off. Would we? I'm not trying to be harsh but this is why people get flamed. I'm not flaming you but instead I'm educating you. If I already posted an answer in that thread... did you really feel that need to start another exact same thread? And did you honestly expect a different answer??? Think about how frustrating that is for me that has been spending hundreds of hours trying to get us s-off. Just take it into consideration next time.
However if you had searched for the term "Amaze s-off" you would have been presented with the following:
[Q] HTC.com dev unlock vs. S-Off in Amaze
[TOOL] Easy Perm Root One Click for 1.36 or earlier devices only (granted that it's not very helpful)
[Q] How to S=off on U.S version T-mobile
Everything S-OFF - Think tank, General information, Q&A
Any progress on S-off?
But you just stated "i didnt see any thread other than mikes"
How is that even possible??? What did you search for to NOT get any of the posts above??? I'm puzzled as to how you couldn't find them.

Binary I respect your insight and your efforts here in this forum. There have been numerous posts recently speaking to the hostility and lack of basic decency here in the Amaze forum. I never experienced anything like this in the Hero forum. All I'm saying is that if people simply answer a question rather than "flame the noob" then this forum would be a whole lot better for it. It also would result in more useful hits coming up for people actually using the search button since the answers would be more plentiful. Flaming and rickrolling helps nobody.

Look at it this way: If everyone, noobs and non-noobs alike read from the top down, 95% of all question would be answered within the sticky before a new thread is ever created.

[TUT] Flashing with hboot 1.15 & higher

Ok some of you may know me and i probably yried to help some of you so here is a guide for the new/inexperienced rooter.
welcome to xda youve probably found yourself here because youve rooted your shiny new LTE. Congrats. Now you wanna install and mod it. Follow these rules and you *shouldnt* have issue.if s-on anf hboot 1.12 flash as normal or use lazypanda to get soff while you still can!
1. Read read read
2. Unless s-off use fastboot to flash boot.img
3. Make sure boot.img is compatible with your rom/firmware i.e 1.13 1.22 2.13 *boot.img is kerne*
4. Dont post new thread for the same question asked already use search function
5. Enjoy your new rom
Side note use sense kernels with sense roms aosp kernels with aosp roms
Follow this link for fastboot instructions (thanks rxpert)

Its a decent start. The problem is most people having the kernel flashing issues dont know what most of that means.
You have to give them the directions step by step as I have done here

Also, S-ON users with 1.12 do not have any of these problems and can flash normally

im waiting for the day that someone writes the most anti-rooting, blatantly hostile disclaimer like dont do this you will void warranty, you will damage the health of your phones nand memory, you will corrupt the file structure cache and dalvik you will destroy recovery, do not under any circumstances assume that rooting, installing recovery or flashing any rom through the action or inaction there of the developer is at all safe at any time. do not ever do this under any circumstances. without further ado this is how to root and s-off your htc evo 4g lte

Of course it is, I thought of it and I only make stupid decisions when Im tanked or Im trying to impress the gf. Really the only reason I thought it would make such a good idea is because I run a small business on the side, I repair and upgrade computers and most of my customers are small business owners so as a sort of bonus I will look at their business and migrate them to linux. I very often use some form of desktop sharing to help ease them into the new software when im on a tight schedule but they need help.

You can't. I see you have created 3 threads on that issue on different forums, so I think a mod can delete this thread if you want. And I think this should be only on the q/a forum so a mod should merge the thread from general thread into the one you have on q/a.

oh ok i see thanks a lot :highfive:
second page already and no help for the guy?
Yeah dude wrong forum, your bad on that. But in the spirit of trying to fix a problem then add to it, i would advise that you go here and read the op and all instructions word for word and see if maybe the answer to getting you back up and going is in there. I suspect that this is the place to get the fix if the fix is something you can actually get.
A bit of advice. If you ain't made it you don't post it here. If there is a Question in the OP of your new thread then chances are you should be in the Q&A forum. Mistakes are honest and thats cool. This thread will be deleted or moved to Q&A by a mod and you will be able to live this horrible mistake down.
More advice unrealted to the location of the posting but more in regards to the content of the post.
Your bricked, ok well then goodluck. Oh wait you wanted help? I got ya, i was confused and thought you were just telling me about your bad day. See What people need to be able to help you is.... Details, over abundant details that are key to getting your stuff worked out.
Are you cdma? or gsm? I assume cdma cause your in the wrong section yet its still a cdma section.
What rom were you on?
What hboot number?
What was the last thing that you did right before you discovered your problem? If it was "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" then stop posting throw the phone away and start anew with the next device. cause ye be burnt.
Details Details Details, if you think that it may be a random tidbit that's totally unrelated then make sure you include that in your DETAILS.
Tell us what instructions/thread you were following in your attempt to relock.
What steps worked and what didnt?
Hell tell us some other stuff it could be helpful in helping people help you.
Hope you can get it fixed, if not look for a broken screen device on ebay and do a board swap. Just make sure its got a good esn before you buy it.
And in addition, for all who posted in this thread, we all know that he made a mistake by posting in the wrong sections, but at least attempt to get him to not have to keep posting all over the place desperate for some help, by actually helping the guy. He said hes bricked. Well its got some function to it still so why did none of the people who posted to flame the guy actually take the 10 seconds to hit your browser back button and right click copy link on the UNBRICK thread then return here and post the link? Seriously guys show some sympathy and help your fellow forum goers out. This is a community of some some very very bright individuals and some not as brite or sorta dim newbs that are trying to learn things. Learning and discovering is the basis of the whole xda forums. Its really not that hard to just post a link and send dude another step into the right direction than to post one after another about how hes should have not been here asking for help. We all know that a mod will delete this crap anyways so why the hell not just post a helpful link or some sensible advice and move on with your day?
Come on we can do better than that.

Yeah dude wrong forum, your bad on that. But in the spirit of trying to fix a problem then add to it, i would advise that you go here and read the op and all instructions word for word and see if maybe the answer to getting you back up and going is in there. I suspect that this is the place to get the fix if the fix is something you can actually get.
A bit of advice. If you ain't made it you don't post it here. If there is a Question in the OP of your new thread then chances are you should be in the Q&A forum. Mistakes are honest and thats cool. This thread will be deleted or moved to Q&A by a mod and you will be able to live this horrible mistake down.
More advice unrealted to the location of the posting but more in regards to the content of the post.
Your bricked, ok well then goodluck. Oh wait you wanted help? I got ya, i was confused and thought you were just telling me about your bad day. See What people need to be able to help you is.... Details, over abundant details that are key to getting your stuff worked out.
Are you cdma? or gsm? I assume cdma cause your in the wrong section yet its still a cdma section.
What rom were you on?

Hey OP this is the guy who can get you fixed up. I've been around the 3d dev section every day of my life for the last 2 years and he is one who honestly knows his stuff. Get on the offer while its standing. I got alot on my plate and I'm more instruction follower than instruction giver but I will look up your other posts a little later and see if I may be able to lend some help. Good luck I hope it works out for the best.
Next time you sell a rooted phone just flash an ruu or the equivalent and smile at the buyer. If they know about root and what it is they will be happy its rooted if they dont know then they will probably never find out cause they aint gonna be pulling no complex key combos to boot the bootloader to see your root/soff unlock/lock status.

[Q] Q: Back to stock?

So I know XDA is full of answers to this one, but it seems everyone either has some snarky comment like, "they won't check' or whatever. There are also some ok answers and tuts but some of it's confusing and a lot of the threads go off topic. So i'd like to ask, how do i get my phone back to stock? i have to mail my device back in for a warranty exchange as the speakers and camera stopped working suddenly.
My device is stock rooted, odex rom w/ TWRP. unlocked bootloader. Super CID and S-off. Tampered message gone in boot loader. My laptop runs Windows 8, which I'm having an issue getting the HTC manager to stay open for some reason, even after an uninstall/ reinstall of the manager and drivers. The drivers themselves seemed to have installed fine as my device is recognized as "my HTC" though when in fastboot, my comp will tell me the device is unrecognized. Using the stock usb plug that came with my phone and I've plugged in to both usb 3.0 and 2.0 ports. And yes, I do have ADB in the root of my computer, though I'm wondering if i need a different type of ADB since this is the one i used with windows 7 a while back..or does it matter?
I'd like to get things back to stock as much as possible and would be very appreciative. Thanks!
You complain about the snarky comments people make yet you make a thread on a subject that has been beaten to death and has a buttload of snarky comments every time because of it. Just read and you'll find your answer, it's not too hard

Really? Really bro? This is the dang troubleshooting section of the frigging thread, meant for asking questions like this, and ya gotta be a ****? Go die in a fire. You just reaffirmed my reason for not coming to this forum much. Rude, nasty people like you. Thanks so much.

Wow dude way to take what someone says on a forum way too far. I was in no way rude or nasty or a ****. You asked for that kind of response when you asked this question. Just because this is the troubleshooting section doesn't mean you shouldn't do your research before posting about a topic that's been beaten to death.
P. S. It's hypocritical to call someone rude and nasty and then tell them to die in a fire.

Maybe it would do you some justice to NOT go the route that I'd already forsaw. You were snarky and you response in no way solves a problem that I sat down for 3 hours trying to troubleshoot on an operating system I'm still learning since i just got comp last week. And maybe if you actually understood reading comprehension, you'd have seen that I'd obviously done my research, otherwise I wouldn't have made the conclusions I'd made in my OP. So yeah, I'm pretty pissed.

You could not possibly have researched for 3 hours and still had the need to post instead of doing what said research told you to do. It shouldn't have taken longer than 5 minutes to find your solution. Nothing I said was snarky you got the response you deserved and I don't care how pissed you are personal attacks are not allowed here.

Ok, whatever you say. i didn't do the leg work and i couldn't fin the straight forward answers I needed. It' cool. Someone was actually decent enough to point me in the right direction and not be rude about it.
Oh and for the record, what I really needed to know was how to go back to S-on and change the CID back to stock. I still have my files for the latter and i have an idea of what to do, but I'd rather not go testing crap out on a phone i'm trying to return.

Thank you very much for your decency. By this point I've gotten S-on and my factory CID back in place. Just needed to flash the RUU to lock and go back to stock. Just want to make sure, does the RUU also flash stock recovery or do I need to do that myself...I have file, but I'd just like to know ahead of time what I nee to do next if anything. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for the quick reply. Um..I just ran into an issue and i hope it isn't a big one. First, the RUU won't run. And error pops up saying "make sure you have finished any previous setup and try again". I DLed this RUU straight from HTC.
Second, i'm in bootloader, tried to do a full reboot and instead it boots back into bootloader. Now on the top, the tampered had returned, as I used CMD to make it go away, and in pink is also a "security warning". The phone won't boot into anything else. The phone is locked. I got S-on with Revone, and i used CMD to write stock CID, which I rebooted each time to make sure nothing messed up.
Edit: Nevermind, after re downloading the RUU, I got it working properly and things smoothed out. Thank you again.

Don't exaggerate. I post that when it's necessary to post that. When help is deserved I more than gladly help but someone asking how to get back to stock does not necessitate a thread being made, hence my response.
