I unlocked my HTC Evo 3D GSM via the HTC Unlock Method. It's on HBOOT version 1.49.0018. I did nothing more. I want to know if I can go on and install a Custom ROM such as MeanROM now or do I need to do something else before I can? If so, links please. Thank you so much in advance.
Your good. Just flash

Make sure to backup your internal content.. And only choose a ROM that capable for your phone, If you're cdma then go to cdma section, else you're gsm, then go to gsm section.. Don't make any mistake, or you won't be able to enjoy your evo..

next you need to install a custom recovery and also the su file this will install super user you should do this before you start flashing rom's
Here is a link for flashing clockwork mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248231 Look at the 3a part. With clockworkmod you can install roms with ease.
Thanks to you all. Moving to MeanROM tonight \m/

You're already s-off, don't use the HTC unlock method, you're already unlocked and you dont even have the locked bootloader that is required for the HTC unlock method. Read some threads about how to do this, they're very well written.
Yea, you just need to flash the correct recovery and superuser stuff. Or flash a recovery and then a rooted rom
We're comin from a pure power source.
What recovery should i use?
I already unlocked over htcdev, and relocked bootloader. Had no problem...

Whichever one is made for gsm evo. You can search or use rom manager. I prefer to do it manually though

if you want to go back to stock you have to download the proper RUU for your phone.. relock your bootloader and then take that RUU and rename it to PG86IMG.zip and transfer it over to your sdcard in the root folder... then boot into hboot and youll see the file start to be loaded by the blue bar on the upper right side of the screen...and yes it should install the stock recovery....
Thanks for info guys!
Poor choice of roms. But will stay rooted for a while.

as long as you download the correct version of your RUU there is no risk... download the wrong one with the wrong hboot there is a big risk of atleast "soft"bricking your phone... not unfixable but requires more work...
Hello Guys!
First of all, i wanna apologize. I know this thread might be rude because im noob but i need my phone in 2 days (since i got trip to france)
Im on GSM Evo 3d Hboot 1.53. I tried to flash King Cobra ICS rom. I got bootloops. I tried to fix it as here on htcevohacks site using DumLock . It havent helped. I was using 4ext recovery and i think it is a problem. Now i changed my recovery to CWM Revolutionary. When i reboot (or boot) my phone normally or after restore of my normal room it boots up with 4ext recovery. What should I do?
Thanks very much for your help! i Need this damn phone!
Can you access the recovery?
Are you s-on or s-off?
If you're s-on, then go into 4ext recovery and enable smart flash, then flash a working custom rom (plenty of them out there)
Do the same if you're s-off, just don't enable smart flash
Remember to wipe all the normal partitions before flashing, this will wipe all your data though

Since this is an emergency, I recommend you flash a Gingerbread Rom since those seem to flash better with s-on phones. Use 4ext and set it to s-on mode. Then flash a GB Rom like leedroid or mwakious.

1. Download CoolExe's ROM
2. Copy boot.img from that ROM into your adb folder
3. Install ROM trough cwm
4. Reboot into Fastboot and use
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
5. Reboot.
This worked for me, after unlocking (htcdev) and installing cwm on 1.53.007 hboot.

Anyone would to suggest which rom suitable for htc evo 3d gsm s-on? I would be appreciate
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
I'm CDMA, but I've heard Leedroid or Mwakious are excellent for GSM. I think they are Gingerbread, but ics tends to bootloop for many people who are s-on.
To unlock the full potential, I recommend s-off.
Sent from my ICS 3VO with Tapatalk 2
I'd say all the roms should work for s-on. Unless it requires a ICS firmware package, I don't think that you should have any trouble if you HTCdev unlock. Also, paranoidandroid and devil toast are pretty good.
Do the s off. Its easy and simple. Just read. The benefits outweigh the risks. Youll be a lot happier in the long run.
I also have a gsm s-on...You should go king cobra or mwakious
I am on mwakious...but 1st install v11 then upgrade !
Do click the thanks button !!
try PredatorUnityROM. its sense 4.0 so you will not have 3d but everything else works
Thanks alot guys for the info. But how i'm gonna change my s-on to s-off, sori i'm newbie .now i'm already flash predatorunity everthing greats but only 3d and wifi hotspot error.

If you ask me, I am currently using TeamGenesis rom v4.2, with Anryls kernel 30.09, and everything works great. Not sure if everything would work on a s-on device, it would probably stuck on the white htc image, but you should be able to solve that with flashing the boot.img with adb fastboot.

Hi,
I've just got an Evo 3D - it's a phone I've always wanted and the stock rom just sucks. I'm looking for a rom that's smooth, ICS, preferably but not essential sense 4, and most importantly where the 3D camera works for stills and videos. I've been reading a lot and I can't quite tell whether it works in viper3D.
If not, can anyone point me to a rom that fits the bill?
Thanks guys

Thanks Now just to go through and work out what root and baseband and kernels I need haha.
Ok, so it says I need this baseband..
11.77.3504.00P_11.25.3504.06_M from official release 3.28.707 download it from here
But it doesn't say if I need to install a different bootloader or kernel first.. Do I need to? Do I need an s-off or s-on root?
Is
6.TO ACTIVATE ROOT --> GO IN APPLICATIONS AND OPEN PERMISSION MANAGER THEN TURN ON ROOT PERMISSION (FIRST LINE) AND REBOOT THATS ALL!!!
Talking about something else (i.e. not rooting in the common sense)?

You can forget about flashing anything then.
To answer your question about root in Mwakious rom - no, it doesn't mean it will root your phone, it's superuser which you must enable to get root permissions when you are already rooted

The install guide http://www.adammosscomedy.co.uk/Temp/mwakinstall/instmwak.html says I need this to start
"Info Install
With S-OFF and latest Firmware/Radio already Installed" Is this correct?
I have S-off so I'm not sure, but I think you can flash it with S-on. As I said you need 4ext recovery and smartflash enabled in order to be able to flash it. And be sure to backup your current ROM in case you run into problems

Hi guys - my evo 3d is currently 1.53 hboot and s-on. I tried to downgrade it using the ultimate recovery tool, but when I put the zip on the microsd, the hboot sees it and checks it but then doesn't give me the option to run the upgrade.
My evo 3d is locked as the video states it should be. I thought it might be because I wasn't on the 1.13 RUU, however the RUU linked is for the CDMA sprint evo 3d. Can I still run it? Will my phone still work after?
I'm trying to get to the stage where I can flash the mwakious. I believe I need s-off and so I need to downgrade my hboot. Any help would be appreciated!
Sorry title is meant to say downgrade
To get s-off just follow steps on this page
