Trying to root using HTC 1.5 with no success.
Hi to all I have tried to root using the HTC boot unlocker with no success. I was using the step by step instructions from HTC evo hacks. I got to the step at the command prompt where I put in the unlock code and I got this : C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.152s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.161s
The phone screen asking me to unlock the bootloader never came up. Any help would be appreciated. BTW I have rooted at least 7 EVO 3D's. with no problems.
I'm stumped.

See the Guide/flashing Notes in my signature. You need to rerun the currently installed "FULL" Ruu or the the Latest RUU, then the unlock will work.
I did the HTCDev and unlocked it went to thread on downgrade from 1.5 hboot to 1.4 tried that and it did not work. I went to try the wire trick and this is what I get when I try to use the controlbear. the phone connects and goes through process but says the following...
======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========
Starting up......
Connecting to device...
Searching device.....
Found device.....but device has no root!!
Press ENTER to exit.....
Any help would be helpful I have tried superuser but wont install, tried rootevo3dnew, temproot sensation Ect. everything says I need to be rooted.
I am running stock rom that shipped with phone and yes I did updates. I am Sprint CDMA 2.17 rom shipped, 1.5 Hboot. I have flashed roms and modded before but dont consider myself to be advanced. I have done flashing and installing roms with my old HTC Touch pro2 but alot easier on touch pro2 LOL... Please point me in the correct place I have beeen all over from this thread to that one and back and forth and yes I have search threads and I have tried them but still come back to the one with wire trick.. I am 1.5 with S-ON

Ok, let's make sure we know where you are at to start with. When you use the vol and power button to boot to fastboot, does the phone show "unlocked". If not, I think you need to do the htc method again. I have not kept up recently, but I am not sure there is any method other than the HTC method that works every time for 1.5. I have used the HTC method on two phones without a problem, so that is the method I use.
Once you get that far, I used adb to push or flash the twrp image into the recovery section of the phone. Then you should be able to flash superuser via the install menu of twrp. There are threads that have detailed explanations on how this is done.
Yea, I had a bit of a learning curve from my TP2 also, but love this phone!

I am unlocked I did the HTC Dev and unlocked it. I have a stock rom (the one shipped on phone) all I have done is unlock it... I did try the controlbear and got what I posted on last post. I am Hboot 1.5 S-ON and stock rom is 2.17.651.5 HTC Sense 3.0 ANDROID Ver. 2.3.4... Like I said all I have done is Unlock and installed TWRP 2.2 and created a restore point and created a recovery and backed up my phone. All through Goo Manager. That is all I have done.

In my post Ive included a flashable SuperSU zip. What youll need to do is boot to recovery and install this zip. Then reboot. You should have superuser access then.
Still learning this forum so excuse any errors I make. I've spent the last 10 hours trying to fix the mess I created on my wife's Evo 3d. I was able to root my phone and it was relatively easy so I tackled hers as well and have gotten a bootloop I cannot figure out, 10 hours later. I'm on hboot 1.5. I unlocked the phone (using a pretty reliable video), loaded 4EXT Recovery then tried to load roms. Everything worked fine until the rom-loading portion. Since then, the phone loops, but once or twice it made it all the way to the main screen and before I could slide the ring, a read error message appeared next to the bars of service then the phone just completely reboots. Right now, the only thing I can get into is the bootloader and the clockworkmod v4.0.1.4, somehow I lost my 4EXT Recovery. I'm stuck and in dire straights as my wife is going out of town and will KILL me if I don't fix her phone. Please help! BTW, somehow I managed to NOT back anything up (stupidity on my part). Will I be able to get this thing back to stock at least or is it now a paperweight?

Your not bricked by any means. And Im going to guess you tried to boot an ICS rom.. dont. They dont work with hboot 1.5. If you really want to go back to stock run the 2.17 RUU and youll be back to where you started. Another option is to download a GB rom and flash that. Not ICS. If your able to get to the bootloader than you can still load up 4ext recovery so you can flash the GB rom.
Edit: some hboot 1.5 users are lucky and can flash them if they used the correct VM firmware but majority of users have problems.

Thanks, I just tried flashing a rom that has taken it back to stock but I'm still in the bootloop. Should I stop flashing and simply locate the RUU?
22410,
It sounds like the kernel did not flash correctly with 4ext Recovery (next time, make sure u indicat S-on in its settings). I'm not sure if you were just stock 2.17 rooted or not, but use 7zip on your pc to open & extract/copy out the "boot.img" file from the rom, zip, etc you were using and copy it to your fastboot pc folder. Still have the Cwm 4.0.1.4 recovery.IMG file there too right (or the 4ext recovery.img file)? Ok...
- put phone in fastboot usb mode
From PC's fastboot command prompt type:
- " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
(this will reflash the kernel/boot image extracted from a rom)
If your recovery is screwed up:
- " fastboot flash recovery YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(ie: cwm_4.0.1.4_recovery.img or recovery.img, etc as listed in fastboot folder, to reflash a recovery to your phone).
With S-on, to properly enter a recovery for flashing ANYTHING you must:
- " fastboot boot YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(doesn't apply if using 4ext's Smartflash or TWRP's Dumlock settings. But you must have a bootable android OS/kernel first, once the flash is screwed it won't work).
If u have a Sprint CDMA EVO3D/HTC Unlocked & S-on (not Jbear s-Off), then the guide in my signature has more info.
Edit: as NIN said you will likely have problems flashing ICS roms with S-on (hboot version doesn't matter). If u are still unlocked & have a working recovery u can flash any gb Rom successfully after wiping system, data, & cache (or run superwipe zip). Meanrom GB v4.5 recommended.

Hi hope someone can help or point me in the right direction. Ive already unlocked/rooted, haved CWM installed on my phone and S-on. I want to S-off but revolutionary program says my device isn't supported. I have a Evo 3D GSM European Hboot 1.49.0018. How can i get the S-off? I tried to flash infected eternity Rom and bootlooped each time i tried. I wiped dalvik, data, cache etc...i was wondering if S-on has anything to do with me bootlooping? Thanks for your advice.
ROMS that are not using stock kernel (Please correct me if I'm wrong, I only been here on the EVO 3D forums for 2 weeks ), can't be flashed with S-ON.
I believe you can downgrade your hboot and go S-Off. How that exactly works, I have no clue unfortunately.
Okay....i've tried to flash 2 different Roms now and all i get is a boot loop. I just tried to flash shooter beats but with no luck. Can anyone else shed some light on this issue? Does anyone know how to downgrade Hboot to turn S-off? Or point me in the right direction please?
I had that same hboot and was able to downgrade it using Flashmaniac's tool in the Dev section. Just follow his instructions, it worked for me. It does state, however, you must have one of the listed cid numbers (which I had, you'll need to check yours). There's a free app on the market called cid checker, it will find this info for you.
Once you've downgraded your hboot you can follow the normal procedure to s-off with Revolutionary.
Hope this helps
By the way, I've heard you can still flash roms if you're S-on if you extract the boot.img from the zip file of the rom and flash this first through fastboot. I'm not sure exactly what the procedure is but there are threads about it in the Dev section. Please don't try it without reading up first though, as I don't know much about the risks involved, if any.
Mine was 0018, but I downgraded it to 0007 using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495657&highlight=vodaphone+hboot
------------------------------------
Please give thanks if i've helped you!
Thanks for your responses friends. I managed to flash a rom with a stock kernel through CWM as was indicated in one of the posts. Thanks for that. I'm going to give the other options to S-off and downgrade a try tonight. I think the Evo is a lot harder to manage than the atrix and razr! I modded them phones no problem! I'll feedback to you tonight and let you know how it went.
Okay...i've downloaded flashmaniac tool for downgrading Hboot. I put my phone in USB debug mode, charge only, extract and run step 1, but nothing happens! I even tried step 2 but nothing! It seems that the program isn't seeing my phone. I don't have HTC sync installed, and i have the HTC drivers. So, i cant figure out whats wrong. I've even allowed install of unknown sources on my phone. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Did you make sure usb debugging was checked in settings??

hello i had problems with my unlocked, rooted but S ON evo with 0018 Hboot...
if you are S ON and want to flash a rom, here's the way :
1 Be near your PC.
2 extract boot.img from the zip you want to flash
3 flash the rom into recovery
4 DON'T REBOOT !!!
5 Power Off
6 go to fasbtoot USB
7 fastboot flash boot boot.img
8 reboot
9 done, worked for me
Hey,
My 3VO is not possible to S-OFF atm so I'm stuck with S-ON. To install ROMS that require S-OFF its easier to just enter recovery via fastboot. But that requires a computer.
The other solution is HTC Dumlock: http://teamw.in/project/htcdumlock
Using that method you can install roms on your phone without a computer.

Also it is a lot easier to just enter recovery from fastboot and install the ROM normally. Doing all that is just unnecessary to my knowledge.

your right, i remember back in the days, the first flash of my n1...
i applied this method after a normal flash and being stuck on withe htc screen... and someone on another thread told me to flash into recovery then flash the boo.img.
but yes do the whole flashing via fastboot is OK but in some roms like leedroid you cant choose some elements via aroma installer.
I myself can't say if aroma Installer works threw recovery via fastboot because I simply haven't tried it. I personally use HTC Dumlock and used it the other day to install LeeDroid. Aroma installer worked fine, everything worked except for the touch screen interface on the installer, had to use volume buttons, no big deal though.
I also have this Hboot and it can't be temporary rooted.
Is there any way to just root device with this Hboot? I don't want S-off.
Thanx for all your responses. After 8 hours today, i finally managed to s-off my evo. It wasn't easy. I finally changed my Hboot to 1.49.0007, using official firmware with European Hboot (PG86IMG.zip), xvi32.rar hex editor, adb, and fastboot. I had to relock my device through the process, and then use HTCDEV to unlock it once again. Once unlocked, i used revolutionary to gain root, recovery, and to S-off. There were a few tweaks which i had to make to get it to work. If anyone needs help please message me and i'm more than willing to help! I'm currently running Infected Rom Eternity 3.5 Nightly with no problems.

Yes there is, you have to unlock it with the HTC unlock tool (This will wipe your device so backup your phone, it will not wipe your SD card though):
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
Download this onto your SD card:
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Then download this pack of files onto your computer:
http://www.mediafire.com/?49156dz8d36xva3
After you have unlocked your bootloader with the HTC Tool.
Reboot into bootloader > fastboot and plug in a USB
Double click Open cmd in the pack of files you downloaded and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery-GSM.img" (or recovery-CDMA.img if you have a CDMA phone)
When that is all done, boot into recovery mode and do a full backup. (nice to have a backup of complete unmodified stock ROM).
Last step, while staying in Recovery press install from zip file and find
Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
When thats all finished just reboot and you should have a rooted stock ROM with S-ON

Thanks for letting us know how you got on, i'm sure it will help someone in the same situation in the future.
I agree, the E3D is a nightmare to mod compared to other Android phones! Glad you got there in the end
I am an unfortunate rookie, and have made mistakes, hence the name. I want to return my phone to stock from htcdev unlock, s-on, hboot 1.5. with a boot loop on meanom ICS for the evo 3d. I have tried to use older ruu shooters. Relock with fastbot oem lock, and then pg86img. However with the bootloop I can not access anything unless I unlock again, and then go into recovery. This is all that I can think of at the moment that might help.
Kill the rookie!!! PLEASE HELP!!
I had much the same problem with my cdma, hboot 1.5, S-On shooter. When I was S-On none of the ICS roms would work. The all bootlooped on me. If you follow the rooting method found here on xda, it will get you back to a stock Rooted GB Rom.
go into hboot -> fastboot USB-> run command dos -> fastboot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.IMG -> flash the 2.17 firmware-> enjoy.
I had to S-off with Juopunutbear, then re-run that root/flash to get past the bootloops.

Have you tried one of the ruu exe files that you run from your computer? If you are trying to go stock, you should be able to relock the bootloader and run the ruu and that's it.
Sent from my ICS 3VO with Tapatalk 2
First of all I want to thank everyone that has been attempting to assist me with my problem. I have tried to relock since I am on htcdev unlock and then run an ruu force via my computer. I get an installation aborted error when trying to flash pg86img via recovery. I don't know what else to say.
You can't flash a bootloader zip from recovery. You have to flash it from hboot. Also make sure the zip is named correctly "PG86IMG.zip" without the quotes. Also make sure the zip is on the root of your sd as in not in any folders. Once you've named the zip correctly and placed it correctly then power off the phone. Hold down the volume down button and tap the power button. You should boot into the bootloader wait until the phone recognizes the zip and follow the on screen instructions. Hopefully this helps.

Thank you again. I tried your directions, it did recognize the pg86img. However it did not give me any instructions to follow. It did however allow me to be able to a partial stock state. My software version is still on the teamgenesis sense v2.9 cdma. Although I do like some of the features on this rom, I would still like to be able to get the OTA of ICS when it is released. Any suggestions?

To get the ota release (if it ever comes ) I do believe you will need to be locked and running the existing gingerbread rom. While I am not positive, I think the system uses the props file to determine if an update is applicable, and it will likely not recognize the teamgenesis rom version as being upgradeable.
Now I will likely get flames for saying this, but if you want to put the meanrom v2.4 of ICS on the phone, it can be done with s-on, you just need to follow the correct process. I ran that rom for a while, and it is very stock like, stable, and has a few enhancements that you will not find on a non-rooted stock rom. I never found anything wrong or not working with that rom.
To get it to load, first I downloaded flashimagegui from market, put the meanrom zip file on the sd card and made sure I had a recovery that I could get into. I am using TWRP v2.1.1, lots of folks talk about others like ext4, and I am only going to say use whichever you like, after all it is your phone.
Then with the phone unlocked via the htc method, I started the flashimage app, and browsed to the meanrom file. It extracted the kernel and flashed it. Once that was done, with clear cache buttons selected, rebooted to recovery, and used the install menu selection of TWRP to again flash the same rom file. Once it flashed the file, selected clear cache and dalvik just to be safe, selected reboot system, and it worked great.
Have a great weekend.
So, apparently I am still doing something wrong. I have put the pg86img on the root, relocked to the bootloader, and let it run it's course. However, it will get through with reading it and stops and does not finish anything with loading the system information. I have also tried to run the ruu via usb connection. I keep running into a c++ issue saying runtime error. I have wiped everything and thankfully I did make a backup of the rom and other information that I was runing so I can currently fall back on that.
I am on hboot 1.5, 2.17, and teamgenesis ICS rom for evo 3d.
Apparently there have been rumors that Sprint has finally released the ICS OTA, not that it really matters anymore, but I have run into a few interesting glitches, such as WIFI not staying connected while asleep or disconnecting.
If I have to I am willing to pay to do a netmeeing with someone in order to be able to fix this.
Sorry if it sounds like I am getting frustrated, but I have tried every walkthrough that I have found and have not had any luck with any of them.
Please help.
I forgot to say I am s-on
My Evo has been completely trashed and I have no clue what to do.
I have hboot 1.19 s-on and I did the HTCdev unlock, and I rooted it and have the latest version TWRP (i think 2.3.something) with SuperSU installed. I tried to flash a ROM that was supposed to be compatible with with I had but i guess not. Everything was going great but I was stuck on the CM boot screen. After about 30 min of it sitting in that screen I figured something was wrong so i reset it and went back into TWRP. Someone told me to download MeanRom and flash that because its kernel and rom would fix everything. Here's where things get weird. I download MeanRom to my computer and mount my phone in TWRP to move the file over to the phone and when i went to factory reset before flashing it it kept saying unable to mount SD card and Internal Storage. I tried to do a restore my phone to an old back up and that wouldnt even work. So I wipe both caches and try to flash MeanRom anyway. i got a failed error and my phone shut off. Now my phone will only go into the Fastboot thing on the white screen and when i try to go into recovery, it just stays on the TWRP loading screen, not even letting me into the recovery program.
Is there anyway to fix this? My best buy insurance has expired because i missed 3 payments since I'm away at school and not working a whole bunch. So my whole smash it to pieces and get a new one solution is no longer an option.
I'm on a mac by the way so is there something I can enter into terminal to fix this? I don't care about losing any files or anything I'll do whatever I have to, to fix this.
Thanks in advance

Read om4's guide don't panic...hboot 119 s-on you have to flash kernels separately.

I ran into the same problem. Word for word, really. I use a Mac, too. I went through HTCdev unlock, tried to flash a CM10 nightly and ran into a boot loop. No matter what I did, it was stuck. I couldn't restore to a nandroid backup because internal storage wouldn't mount. Couldn't do anything. All I had access to was bootloader and TWRP recovery.
I don't know the specifics of how this fixed it (I'm nothing close to a developer), but this is what I did to get out of it. You will need access to a Windows machine onto which you can download things.
1) If you still have access to fastboot, unroot your phone to stock. Completely stock.
2) Use DirtyRacun S-OFF (you'll need a Windows computer for this). Go through the whole process.
3) Re-root.
Nothing I tried fixed it until I started fresh. I couldn't tell you how it worked, but if you're desperate you really have nothing to lose but a little bit of time by doing the same thing I did.

I ran into the same problem. Word for word, really. I use a Mac, too. I went through HTCdev unlock, tried to flash a CM10 nightly and ran into a boot loop. No matter what I did, it was stuck. I couldn't restore to a nandroid backup because internal storage wouldn't mount. Couldn't do anything. All I had access to was bootloader and TWRP recovery.
I don't know the specifics of how this fixed it (I'm nothing close to a developer), but this is what I did to get out of it. You will need access to a Windows machine onto which you can download things.
1) If you still have access to fastboot, unroot your phone to stock. Completely stock.
2) Use DirtyRacun S-OFF (you'll need a Windows computer for this). Go through the whole process.
3) Re-root.
Nothing I tried fixed it until I started fresh. I couldn't tell you how it worked, but if you're desperate you really have nothing to lose but a little bit of time by doing the same thing I did.
Hope you get this figured out.

How would i unroot if I cant get into SuperSU since i cant boot up my phone? Do I need to do that first or can i just run the RUU without Going into SuperSU and hitting Unroot?
Also what do I need windows for? Getting S-OFF? Or unrooting?
Also thank you! I really hope this work!
Relock your phone from fastboot then run the RUU. Now you're completely stock.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. But how do i re-lock it from fastboot?
U have to use the cmd window on your windows computer. I did it with mine before I ran dirty racun. It is a simple command but u have to be in the right directory ind the cmd line. Go through and look at the dirty racun guide and it tells u how to re-lock word for word I believe.

What's funny is that all you had to do with s-on is flash the boot.IMG from the ROM via fastboot, just like the first reply said to.
You're doing more work right now than you needed to.
I realize this is a little late, but if you're still having trouble and you're still s-on, go read om4's guide, or get s-off.
If you want to stick with s-on, you will have to fastboot flash the boot.IMG files from the ROM manually.

Yeah i couldn't figure out how to do that. I would ask a question on how to do that and i just kept on getting the response of "google it" "look it up on youtube" or look in the forums. and I wasn't ever sure really where to find it because all my searches for it came up useless.
I just did the RUU on my phone and its finally back up and running! What a relief!!!
Now I'm going to try to get DirtyRacun s-off. How do I put a Custom Rom on my phone with S-off?
With s-off you just flash it in twrp..no extra steps

I wish I'd ran into you when I had the same problem. I wasn't trying to make things more complicated for him, just telling him that when it happened to me, I went back to stock, went with S-OFF, and everything worked fine. At the very least I figured he probably would have just wanted his phone back.

No. You helped me soooooo much! I was literally about to sell my phone for parts or something because everything went wrong that could go wrong and on top of that I couldn't find anything at all on how to fix it. I just did what you said and my phone is fixed! I want to go s-off now but dirtyracun doesn't support windows 7 with 64 bit, it only supports windows 7 with 32bit which I don't have access to. So i'm trying to find another way that is reliable to go S-OFF. It seems like S-OFF is the way to go and it makes everything easier.
If I cant find out how to go S-OFF with the windows 7 64 bit computer, then I guess i'll go S-on HTCdev unlock again and hopefully figure out how to manually flash the ROM or whatever it is that you do with S-ON.

There is an app in the market called Flash Image GUI to use it all you have to do is click on browse in the app search where ever you downloaded your Rom or kernel select it and it will extract and flash the boot.IMG for you. So if you are s on and wanna flash a aosp Rom you can first flash the kernel using the app then it gives you the option to boot directly in to recovery then install as usual wipe system ,data, both caches and flash your Rom that you extracted the kernel from. You can also just flash just a kernel if you want to OC.

Okay so here's whats happens for me.
When i go bigdaddy's way: I put the MeanRom zip on my phone from my computer (MeanRom v64 or what ever the latest one is) I factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic chache, and then go to install find the app and swipe to flash.. everything seems fine until i get an error and fail. It also says there is no MD5 file when i do this.
When I go dandan's way: I have the MeanRom zip on my phone (i've tried this with v64 *or whatever the latest one is* and v34) then i go into flash image GUI and go through finding it and everything. Then i get an error right above the Flash Image button saying "zip file must contain only one of the following: recovery.img, zimage, or a type of boot.img!" On my computer I unzipped the file and looked inside and all I see the boot.img and some folders but no recover or zimage so i dont know what it is talking about.
I really dont want to go through the processes of unrooting and relocking my phone again so i want to do this right. Any help from here on out would be greatly appreciated!
If someone could give me a step by step to follow or something for putting the Latest version of MeanRom on my phone that would be great!! I think i read somewhere that you have to put on the old version of MeanRom first. If that is so, could you also include how i would go about updating from the old version to the new one?

I know this post is really long and I probably put waaayyy more information then I actually needed to but I just want to be safe. It seems like everything I try for putting any Roms on my phone goes wrong with an error or failed message and I really want to do this.
I bought Evo which was already upgraded to ICS (OTA I assume), and it was branded I think. I've unlocked it via HTCDev, flashed '4ext touch recovery' and then rooted. Then I flashed MIUI ICS ROM, and everything is OK for now.
I want to use BootManager to flash multiple ROMs. It requires s-off. I tried it already with s-on, because I've read that SmartFlash (from 4ext recovery) makes my phone like s-off, so ROM on SD card installed, but won't boot. I had many problems going back to my Phone ROM, I restored my backup, wiped many times, installed fresh ROM and still had a bootloop. Finally I got it working again by flashing boot.img via fastboot (glad I did nandroid backup before). I didn't try again with different ROM, because after 2 hours of trying to recover my base ROM I've had enough. So I'm pretty sure BootManager will work better if my phone will be s-off.
So my question is - what to do next? We have so many guides and different comments here, sometimes the same method works for one, and doesn't work for another one, and I'm really confused.
I assume I should follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 but I don't understand few things:

Do I have to do this if I'm already have MIUI with root privileges? Do I still need that boot.img from MIUI, and put it together with fastboot.exe?
Or should I restore stock ICS? I'm pretty sure I did nandroid backup before flashing MIUI.

Thanks in advance for any tip.
You're confusing yourself, What you need to do my friend is.
1. Download RUU, Run RUU
2. HTC Unlock bootloader again
3. Do the Juopunutbear Wiretrick to get s-off
4. Download the 1.04 ENG hboot (There is one of those for the GSM I think... not sure though)
5. Flash a badass Android 4.2.1 rom. They work.
There's much more detailed guides on what to do, BUT This is a summary of what you want.
Be sure to hit thanks [= I'm almost to 100
Which RUU should I search for? GB or ICS?
But isn't the 1+2 the same as restoring my ICS Stock ROM from backup?
I think hboot 1.49.0007 would be enough, I've read that BootManager works well with that version.
1. Yes you can just restore your stock ics backup BUT you will have to root it using the file provided in method B.
2. Yes the 1.49.0007 hboot is best for gsm
3. You can flash a GB rom with your hboot no problem. It just dont think it will boot. so technically you should be able to do the wire trick with a GB rom flashed(not booted into). You'll be in fastboot mode for the wiretrick. There are different files for GB and ICS when doing the wiretrick
Your best bet is to run an ICS RUU, unlock bootloader, root rom, do the wire trick, change hboot to 1.49.0007 and then flash any rom you want
Backup was made right after I made root, is it enough? I just don't want to go through the entire process from the beginning (unlocking, rooting etc).

That should work But unlocking again is really easy
You should still have you unlock token in the same place,
You just plug up to the computer hop into fastboot usb and type
Fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_Code.bin
to unlock and then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
for a recovery,
Then move SU to your sd card and flash it in recovery.
Then your all ready for the wire trick, The more you do these things the more experience you get at them and the better you get with fastboot. I suggest you go through the process opposed to just restoring (First off it's much much safer) and you'll know the ropes if you (or anyone else) has this problem.
Maybe you're right. I'll try with RUU. But I see it's hard to find the correct one these days, some old links died. I have a file called "RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed" which I have downloaded right before I started unlocking my Evo, could it be the correct one?
I didn't know I can use old "unlock_code.bin", I saw that everytime I read the token from the device, it was different. So I assumed that I have to flash bin that match the token.

The token and the unlock code are specific to the phone, And doesn't change until you get a new phone.
And that seems to be the right one, Do you live in Europe? lol Shooter u means GSM and ICS means it's the latest RUU.

I know I use shooter_u, I asked because I've found another RUU which have "Rogers_WWE" in name of the file, and the rest of the file name is identical, and I remember that I had to choose "rogers" when I was unlocking via htcdev. That's why I wasn't 100% sure if I had to choose "HTC_Europe" or "Rogers_WWE".

Should I do this or start directly with RUU.exe? My phone is currently "UNLOCKED, hboot 1.53.0007, s-on".
And what about CID? I've read somewhere that I have to change to supercid or something, to be able to flash zips via fastboot. How to check my current CID?
Search for cid getter on play store to get your cid
You certainly need to relock you hboot before running RUU. For the correct ruu you should check the box that your phone came in. It should have the details (atleast i think so)
P.S. you probably don't need to change cid. Infact i'd recommend you not to do that just yet
Got the CID, it's HTC__032. I want to be prepared, who knows what might come up during the whole process.

Cant kive without my evis comments about the wire trick are bang on. It will fix everything. Having s-off is just much easier so do the wire trick. It will work. My wife and I both have an evo. I had to do the wire trick twice on hers for it to work and four times on mine for it to work. Be patient if it fails the first few times. And if the screen gets stuck on the jounuo whatever screen you can fix that.
If you are stuck at Juopunutbear screen and if you can go to bootloader you need to connect the phone to pc, go to fastboot ( should say fastboot usb)*Go to controlbear folder (from where you ran controlbear to begin withon you pc then open command window in it (hold shift and right click, that willopen command window rigjt there and then*when you get into it you need to enter:
"ControlBear.exe -f" no quotes or "ControlBear f" notice the space after the exe !
Lots of peopke forget to put it in and say it didnt work.
I presume this will fix the problem

My phone is now s-off. I didn't flash RUU, just restored stock rooted ROM from backup, did the wire trick (just one time, surprisingly) and everything went nice and smooth. Then I flashed hboot 1.49.0007 with no problems at all. Thanks guys for the tips.
One more thing - my phone state is now "LOCKED" - should I bother?
So I got what I wanted - I've installed ROM in BootManager (the one which doesn't boot before, while phone was 's-on') and this time it booted from SD. Today I'll try more ROMs in BootManager.
Locked doesn't matter as long as you are s-off. It only creates problems if you ever plan on using fastboot commands. Trust me, you dont need to bother with it
But if you really want to know heres a quote from ramjet where he explains it a bit.
ramjet73 said:
Once the RUU.exe is run and the stock bootloader is installed, the phone will be bootloader S-ON regardless of the radio S-OFF status. To run fastboot commands like "flash" and "erase" the stock bootloader needs to be unlocked by the htcdev method or a custom bootloader modified to support those commands needs to be flashed, which requires radio S-OFF.

I created a similar thread the other day but it got so overwhelming and it was just confusing me more so I deleted it. I'm starting a fresh one so I can maybe explain myself better, not confuse anyone else and get better answers.
I just got a replacement Rezound in the mail today. My phone is currently on 4.05.605.14 710RD, LOCKED, HBOOT is 2.28.0000 & radios are 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r.
That last time I was able to S-OFF I used the wire method and ControlBear for Windows. I went to the website Unlimited.IO and they no longer support Windows so I have no idea on how to S-OFF since I did it months ago. However, I did find ControlBear v0.1 for Windows here on the forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27764982&postcount=2079 My first question is will this version work for me? If you download it and open it you can see the zips contents. I wasn't sure If had to RUU back down to an earlier version for it to work? And last time I ended up being on a Juopunutbear HBOOT somehow.
So basically I want to be able to get back onto CyanogenMod 10.1 properly this time. I haven't done anything to my phone yet, still unrooted, on stock, etc.. I know my first step is too unlock it using the htcdev website but from there I'm confused, I can't remember the steps its been too long.
I need someone to please explain how I can get back to CM 10.1 and remain on the latest firmware/drivers/hboot etc. So I need help with rooting, s-off, how to get TWRP recovery back on, which to do first, etc.
I appreciate the help and I'll make sure I save this in case it ever happens again. Also, my apologies again for the previous thread, it was just too much going on, I just need simple steps.
Am not positive but i think u will need Ubuntu as that one wont work on the new 2.28 hboot. So lets start with u installing ubuntu on a drive or live cd

ControlBear 0.1 worked for me on Windows, took a few tries but it finally pulled through. These where my steps:
1. unlocked
2. flashed recovery
3. flashed [ROM] OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted 5/1/13
4. flashed boot.img from the rom
5. did wired trick with CB 0.1
so i think im good now? just have a couple questions.
- my phone now says tampered/locked/s-off? last time i s-off it didnt have that tamper there, is this normal?
- im still on hboot 2.28.0000 & radio 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r. is this latest hboot/firmware/radio?
- im still on that rom that i linked above. im good to go ahead and flash and jb rom now?
- last, is there anything else i need to do with my phone? fixing the mainver, etc.

That's normal if you're still using an unpatched hboot. If you will still use some fastboot commands (I use fastboot boot zImage/fastboot flash zimage zImage alot) then look into vynlfreak's 2.27 patched hboot. DO NOT UNLOCK flash patched hboot instead.

Just wanted to thank you two. I have always been hesitant about s-offing my phone. But seeing it here in a few simple steps gave me the courage to finally pull the trigger. I know I am super late to the S-Off party, but am thrilled to finally have arrived!
