Is there anyway to get the EVO 3D back to completely stock?
Thanks in advanced
Possibly run an RUU... One of the devs probably knows. What exactly did you do to the phone?
So I ran over my OG Evo this morning after it fell out of my jacket pocket while I was getting into my car.
Asurion is sending me a 3D as a replacement and while I'm jazzed about the better performance potential, I'm seeing all kinds of horror about rooting it with the 1.5 hboot.
I'm running Mik 2.61 and was heading to Mik 3 this weekend. So i'm hoping to find a ROM that's got similar performance and battery life. I'm also wondering the best way to not lose all my data (gaming, mms/sms, etc) since I've never had to swap phones like this. My last full backup with TBPro was yesterday afteroon so I'm guessing I'll lose anything after that.
So any help with the swap of data and recommendations on a killer ROM would be welcomed!

Hboot 1.5 isn't all that bad, you just have to read a little to get everything working. There are plenty of tutorials an recommendations that will help you be a flashaholic on 1.5.
In my personal opinion (which means absolutely nothing in the real world), stock on the 3D destroys MikG. In no way am I saying that Mik is bad. In fact, if Mik had a ROM for the 3D, I'd most likely be on it. It's what I was running on the OG as well.
With that said, there are a ton of wonderful ROMs here. Olympus is getting great reviews and it's fairly user friendly. I'm personally running a Nocturnal ROM (that gets no love cause it's basically stock with Zeus mod) that I think its amazing.
Your gonna love the 3D, just root that bad boy and do some testing, your bound to find something you like.
And yes, in terms of the data for your apps, the last backup will have to do. Just don't attempt to restore system backups. That might screw something up.
Thanks - so can I just copy the backup file from my old SD card to the new card, push installs of apps from web to phone including TBPro, then use TBPro to restore app data?
My whole reason for rooting my OG was to get rid of the bloat, then I n00bed and tried to download the GB OTA, bricked, lost root, waited fro Revolutionary to get root back, went from stock to CM7, to Synergy, to Mik...
I guess I'm not fully understanding the 3D still being S-ON and having root ... or am I still n00bing with that comment?? LOL.
They did the same to me mine came with hboot 1.4 and was brand new not refurb. this was about 2 weeks ago cross your fingers!
I lnow how good mik roms are I remeber when I had my incredible but for the evo 3d I would reccomend Olympos titan Hd it the vest on performance and battery life_!

Same thing happened to me man. My Evo fell out of my lap when I was getting out of my car, straight onto the driveway. I was also planning on moving from MikG 2.6 to 3.0, I had it on my sdcard lol. So I waited till Asurion said I was getting a 3D, and I finished the claim.
I was also pretty confused about the rooting with 1.5 hboot like I had but you just have to follow directions to the word.

That is the guide I used to root mine, but I failed the first time when it came to like step 12 when your Evo will ask you if you want to unlock it. My problem was I didn't have the HTC drivers installed, so make sure you do that. The only limitation with this method is that you can't flash kernels through recovery, because the boot partition is still locked. You have to download and app called flash image GUI (available in the market for 99 cents) and use that to either search a rom zip and extract the kernel info, or just pick a kernel zip by itself. This will apply the kernel, wipe dalvik and cache, and then reboot your device. Do this before you flash the rom you want to run. And make sure you do a nandroid of your stock rom first before anything.
As far as roms go, I recommend Myn's Warm 2.3. Very snappy, looks great, and very stable unlike some other roms I've tried. I used Myn's 2.2 on the OG Evo back before MikG came out. The dev community here isn't as big as the Evo's but there are some great devs here, I'm sure you'll warm up to it quick like I did.
Hello All,
I'm home for the holidays, and my Dad asked me to mess with his Evo 3D. I myself have an Epic 4G & am comfortable messing with Android devices.
What I need is some advice on a ROM I can flash to his phone and leave town and not have to worry about. I see him a couple times a year, so I can always mess with it then, but I'd rather not rely on that to help him out.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be swell. I noticed there isn't an official "stable" CM7 ROM released at this time. (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#HTC_Evo_3D)
Any advice would be great.
Up to this point, we've tried hard resetting the beast, but it's still acting very funny/buggy.
It's running GB 2.3.4, and I'm not sure if it's software or hardware, but it locks up, goes through fits of phantom clicks, and a few other oddities. Need to try loading a custom ROM to see if those issues disappear.
Thanks for your help!
I would personally go with the Miui ROM for the 3D, I used it on my NS4G and worked amazing. Currently on my 3D I'm running Warm TwoPointThree with no bugs but, I'm a flashaholic and am looking at Miui now or an ICS ROM. With Miui, the updates which come out every Sunday (I think) are easy to do and have complete on screen directions on how to complete
I actually wouldn't suggest MIUI in this case as it doesn't have 4g or any 3d capabilities. Not to mention it does get quirky.
If he doesn't mind a themed rom I would go with Myns warm 2.3 but be sure to grab the rc1 and not a nightly.
If he wants a more stock look I'd go with Fresh...that may be better long term.
I'm Batman..
Fresh rom! Stable and no issues. I have the same thing with my wife. I flash daily and she wants the thing to just work lol.

Yea considering the situation ...I'd go with Fresh as well. He doesn't dev much ..he just releases a solid bug free rom and disappears until it's time to clean up an official HTC update.
Prolly the best bet for your dads phone
I'm Batman..
So, I've been doing some reading. And it looks like this is a little bit more involved than the dev on the Epic. That is fine if it were for my personal phone, but perhaps not for my father's.
HBoot, SOff, Fastboot, etc.
It is my understanding that achieving S-Off will void warranty. I mean, sometimes "rooting" will void warranty, but I've heard mixed reports.
Anyways, is there a quick ROM I can load just to see if it's a software vs hardware issue. I'm beginning to think it may be a digitizer problem.
If your not looking to root load a new rom on it, your best bet would be to take it to Sprint and have them look at it.
Warm fan myself. Everything just plain works in it.

You want to flash a Rom and leave town hoping its stable? I say root the phone and leave it as is.

+1. Best bet to be bug free. HTC stock kernel is solid as a rock.
If the phone is not yet rooted the 2.3.4 version achieving S-off is not possible at this time.
Looks like just taking it in will be the best bet. He has Sprint's TEP, or whatever it's called (I use squaretrade myself).
If the phone is mucked up, shouldn't he be able to walk out with a new phone? He said he's gone in before and they made him send it back to the vendor with previous phones. It was my understanding that if you paid for insurance through Sprint, they ignored the vendor warranty b/c you are paying for a separate on through them...maybe he was just getting the runaround.
Thanks for your help thusfar. Who knows, maybe I'll end up with an Evo 3D sometime in the future. You guys have been great (and very prompt =] )
I would go with CleanRom. It's stock based and pretty much just the bloatware removed.
First, make sure u r not using cwm recovery. It gives me phantom touches on every rom. I always like older veraions of infected rom myself. All cm and aosp roms are buggy for someone who didnt install them.

I agree with others, just root it and leave the rom stock. This way ur father would be able to install apps for rooted devices.

Do you guys not read? He has not rooted the phone, thus not able to flash any ROM. Take it back to Spring, if he has TEP they will either repair the phone or replace it

Hehe, yes, I'm just going to have him go the repair root. Walking him through rooting & whatnot with his Evo 3D is not yet as easy as it is with a phone like the Epic.
Root it and put warm ROM on it. Most stable I've tried so far.

I would root it, flash cleanrom2.9.5, then flash a stock kernal, and he would be good to go, as stated above stock kernal is solid, and cleanrom has never givin me issues that I haven't caused myself from messing with stuff.
And as far as rooting goes the mixed review you hear come from the various ways you use to acheieve root based on which bootloader he currently has on the device. Some EVO 3d do have some random bugs, rather it be hardware or software, still a beast of a phone tho

I have had my Evo 3D for a couple of months now and I want to root it. My questions are. Should I do it? What are some common problems if i do it? (example: when the evo 4g did not have 4g until they found the fix) What are some good ROMs up there?
I rooted my Evo 4g and traded it for the Evo 3D,so I have very little experience.
Thanks if anybody can give me suggestions

You aren't going to get an answer for this. All roms are different, and designed for different needs. The best thing about rooting is you can easily flash a rom, try it out for a few days, and if you dont like it, flash another.
I rooted mine a few months ago, just flashed a few roms this week
LeeDroids and King Cobra are very solid roms, Leedroids is harder on the battery tho.
I say do it... one of best phones only gets better once rooted.
dude, of course you should root it. when has an android platform been made worse by rooting?
if anything, it will fix it... because right now... yours is broken. injured. maimed.
flash eternity 1.4.2 and hit me up for some extra goodies to throw on top of it... kernelllzzzz

It all depends on what hboot version you have. If you have hboot 1.50, you must use that method. If you have anything lower than that, you can use Revolutionary, which is MUCH easier.

Pretty easy to root 1.5 man
I have a few flashing scenarios that may help you out/clear up somethings once you get unlocked. See the "recovery issues" thread in my signature.

Lmao I have seen you pop up outta the blue you do a great job helpin folks man....
Absolutely...
I had purchased my EVO 3D to replace my EVO 4G - within one hour of purchasing I had rooted and installed the MeanROM v0.4. Basically if you are purchasing a piece of hardware such as a SmartPhone, you should have the capabilities of unlocking its potential. However, always NADROID the device.
Synergy or Viper and the instructions on this website worked pretty well to root it.
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-root-evo-3d-2-08-651-2-and-later-htc-unlock-method/
Yes you should!
I will put in my .2 cents that I run the Stock Rooted ROM 2.17.651.5, and since 2.08, this ROM moves MUCH BETTER. If you want a stock feel, I would run the OEM ROM.
only if you want to do wifi tethering.
when I was on Windows Mobile 5-6.5, it was always a benefit to install custom roms because of performance and abilities benefits...
but with Android phones, there isn't usually much of a benefit to custom ROMs.
With my EVO 4G, custom roms gave me better battery life and interesting interfaces... but also ran slower, more random reboots, GPS would randomly not work right, Google speach listening would randomly not work, and "tweaks" that just caused bugs. For the last 2 months of my EVO 4G, I ended up just going back to stock and the battery life was poor, but at least the phone worked as intended.
My EVO 3D works perfectly in stock mode and this phone naturally has good battery life (at least 3x more life than my EVO 4G) so its gonna stay that way. I did root for the wifitether app, but not gonna go further than that. Keep it stock man.

Another benefit to rooting & Stock Rooted, besides wifi tether, is the ability to remove HTC Bloat/stock apps that you don't need or use (T.I backup). If you need extra battery life, pickup a Seidio 4000mah battery ($55 on amazon).
Ok I'm a big HTC Evo fan and well sadly my evo's charger port messed up on me and no longer works...so I decided to upgrade to 3do I was just wondering if anyone had some rom/ kernel combo suggestions? Or recent rooting guides thanks in advance
I am one of many
I would go with meanrom as rom wise.
as in rooting it all depends on what h-boot your on if its h-boot 1.50 then you need to do the HTC method on their website
You have to try Warm or Eternity. Sense 3.0 for a solid theme, or Sense 3.5 for smoothness.

I'm on Eternity right now, but I switch between that and Warm. You can't go wrong with either one. As for the kernel just stick with stock for now. HTC hasn't released source for the kernel yet. So none of the custom one are fully working yet.
Alright I'm familiar with warm...I love warms theme... so ill try them all see what I like and that sucks they better release the kernel soon!!!

Alright I thought about meantime I like speed mostly anyways and it was ultra plain and i have 100+ apps so I need space...also is their a way to get s-off with the HTC one?

I've tried several different combos.. I started using Warm Two Point Three back in november. For some reason my dialer was locking up so I switched to MIUI. When I was on MIUI 2.2.17 w/duces super zip I was getting excellent battery. At which point I swore I would never go back to sense.
Then... all the ICS builds came out. I flashed around a few and then decided to give mikuney a chance. All I have to say is WOW. I really enjoy it. Anyway, good luck.

Alright ty I'm used to miui and cm7...kang project was my favorite ics rom.ill look into mikuney
I am one of many
Its called MikRunny. I just upgraded not too long ago too and I'm still getting around to the million roms our phone has, but as of right now im rolling with Eternity with the stock theme. Ive tried Toast's, Joelz, and Kushdecks ICS's, Joelz ICS AOKP, Joelz ICS MIUI, Eternity, and ViperRom. The ICS roms are my favorite hands down, even ICS MIUI, but theyre still being worked on so I'm holding off for a bit til they get a little more stable. Im still getting around to others. I want to try the other MIUI, CM7, and the Sense 4.0 ROM being worked on. Im holding off on that til it gets a little more stable too though. We have so many great devs/ROMS its pretty difficult to get around to all of them. I kinda need to use it as a phone too lol. Try em all, theyre all great.
I would use Meanrom if you want everything worming and good battery life.
MIUI is ok... If you like a iphonish setup.... But bluetooth audio doesn't work with MIUI as well as 4g or 3D camera.
