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.
I am open to helping people but all the 1.5 questions are getting annoying

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.

That's the last thing I haven't tried that I'm doing tomorrow. I had trouble finding a working download link for a stock 2.17 RUU. If that doesn't work, I'm completely out of ideas.
Well I am always around to pick up the lost sheep To keep them from screwing something up.. So they can get back on track...

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:

Thank you for the response. I guess I didn't word my question right or I'm just too dull to see the answer. I was wondering if just to get root if I had to flash the twrp recovery and everything else. I'm sorry if I'm wasting everyone's time with stupid questions.
Yep, and be prepared it will erase everything. Just did it myself but never better. Rooting is worth it, at least to me.
This is why I haven't done the htc way.
Don't want to erase anything

What do you mean "erases everything"? It hard resets the rom to factory defaults when you use the htc method? Mine is coming to me in the mail and I assume odds of getting Hboot 1.5 at this point are very high.

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.

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.
In the future, never accept an ota

Well, what I'm going to probably do is accidentally my phone, then get another without the HBOOT problem. Unless I can be more patient, but...S-OFF = awesome. .
You can do HTC unlock which is what I had to do... Works great. I am enjoying all the roms as if I was s-off

But it's not S-OFF!!! Everyone wants S-OFF. I want S-OFF. And I'm impatient. I want to flash my damn splash screen and boot screens and stuff. Grrrrrrrrrr....
BUT...I love this phone. I want to break it and get another, but then I feel like I'm breaking my small child or something...and that's never fun.

Good advice!
...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

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.

It's under Original Android Development now, as it should be. Soon, this might be a one-click downgrader from 1.15/1.19 to 1.12, so that everyone can take advantage of the LazyPanda S-OFF exploit.

This is for the development itself, not the BOUNTY thread with a ton of posts that appears to have disappeared without explanation.
It seems over zealous to delete the entire thread. If for some reason it's decided we're not allowed to discuss the subject anymore, just lock the thread.
