[Q] ROM/firmware update - HTC EVO 3D

Hello to all,
I've been searching but as i'm noob in this, i have to open new post and hope to get some help...
I recently bought an EVO 3D (according to information on "phone identify" is model X515m) that have this:
*** LOCKED ***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT -1.49.0018
eMMC-boot
Oct 3 2011, 15:03:01
The Software Informations shows this:
Android version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense version: 3.0
From what i seen on other posts, this phone is locked, so if i want to change firmware i need to get S-OFF and make it UNLOCKED...
My questions are:
1. Since i bought this phone on ebay and don't have Portuguese PT-PT language, can i change firmware to have Portuguese?
2. Does i already have the last firmware?
3. Should i upgrade to another firmware that is improved? Battery with this one don't last much.
Thank you!

The other is without SIM card right? My phone have SIM so yes, gsm.

No before you can s off you need to unlock your bootloader via HTC dev first

And you once you've unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom recovery then you can download the ruu from football he has all the ruu's for the EVO 3d GSM and CDMA

Ok, just find his post... now i just need to know the right file to get...
Other thing, is possible for me to make a backup from what i have on the phone in case something went wrong?
Concerning the unlock i've already searched and i think i can do it.
Thanks

No s off will come second first pay a visit to HTC dev this is where you will unlock your bootloader and once that is done you will need to install a custom recovery and then you can flash a Rom

ok, i've managed to get the phone unlocked but now i can't obtain S-OFF
The revolutionary way don't work on my phone because i have HBOOT 1.49.0018 and they only have 1.49.0008.
The 4EXT Recovery Touch way, i download the file but i don't know what to do with it and even if this will get what's needed to install a stock ROM that have Portuguese language...
Can you please give me some help on this?
Thanks...
--------- ok, i think i have it done with 4EXT Recovery --------------
Now i just need to choose and install the new rom

[Q] htc evo 3d (gsm, hboot 1.49.0018) unlock bootloader without htc dev?

Hello, is it possible to unlock my bootloader without using the htc dev method? This because i don't want to lose my warranty! I know that after unlocking my bootloader i will need a different bootloader to root my device, this is no problem for me.so is there a possibility to unlock my bootloader without htcdev.com? My hboot and type of device can be found at the title of this thread.kind regards, a proud htc evo 3d owner( i have the device for two weeks now)!
I had the same problem. EVO 3D GSM + HBoot 1.49.0018
The Revolutionary method doesn't work and as far as I'm aware, the only way to unlock your bootloader is via the HTC Method. I have done this and rooted my device. I am now going to attempt http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495657
Sorry I can't be of more help. Extremely new to this!
thank you
Thank you for your reply! You have also vodafone, i think? Because of the hboot and the link you send me.thanks vodafone, for making it hard to root my device! I really won't use the htc method because i want to keep my warranty!
My phone is unbranded.
I was a little uncertain as to whether to root on the HTC Method but I just took the plunge. For me the ability to root surpassed the usefulness of the warranty.
Veevoh, how did you root your phone? I have an unbranded HTC EVO 3D GSM HBOOT 1.49.0018 with unlocked bootloader via HTC Method, but i just can't find a way to root. Did you downgrade to HBOOT 1.49.0007?

If your already unlocked via htc method then just flash a recovery, make a nandroid, and then flash a Rom. Take a look at the gsm development thread and spend a few hours reading to give you a better understanding of what the risk's and benefits are of rooting. Also as I previously mentioned if your unlocked and s-off and your on a stock Rom after you flash your recovery then just to gain root you can flash the Su.zip and then hit up the market and download busybox and you will have root on your stock Rom. I'd highly recommend making a nandroid backup as soon as you get your recovery on your device. Then make a copy of it and keep it on your pc just so you always have a stock backup to revert to and a copy of it.

No need for HTC unlock you.can downgrade you Rom with the old Rom version that comes with old hboot then use revaluation to s-off. I will post link to guide I used later.

cool, looks like i got lucky with my asda phone.
just for reference? , to get back to how the phone came , i just run the fastboot s-on command and then run the latest firmware update ruu and that should return me to hboot 1.49.0018 s-on locked?

Flash the stock RUU then go into bootloader and enter command fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 and you will be s-on again.
Note i have not tested the above command as dont want to start all over again but it should work.
Best way for me was
1. Root using htcsupertool
2. Then run ruu then root again
3. This turns your bootloader to .007
4. Then use I/O rev to s-off and install clockwork
5. Install your Rom
6. If you want to back to stock
7. Re run ruu takes you back to stock.
8. Then take the OTA updates takes you back to .018
7. Check forum how to s-on
This method prevents the RELOCKED bootloader just says locked
Hope this helps

Luckily i got the same hboot as yours from Asda too! Gonna have a go at this now to get s-off.
I just flashed a ruu and it downgrade my 3vo from .018 to .007. So I think you don't need to root the phone before.

Nah you dont. After downgrading to .007 i just used revolutionary to gain s-off and flash the recovery. After that you can flash a superuser zip and you'll have root.
So glad i did this, feels good

[Q] EVO 3D rooting

Hello.
I bought EVO 3D few days ago.
I want to root it but my HBOOT is 1.49.0018. All videos in youtube.com is with HBOOT 1.40.00000 or 1.50.00000. How could I root it?
And another problem is that a lot of services are always running. My free momory is from 150mb ram - 250mb ram. I think free momory should be from 300-500mb ram.
And battery life is just nothing. I did charge it all night. I went to school at 7:00 but at 13:40 or 14:00 the battery was empty. Is it normal?
I really really want to find answers to my questions.
Hope someone from this forum can help me.

Check revolutionary.io, I think your hboot is too new to use revolutionary, not positive though. Another option is running the 2.17 ruu, that'll get you 1.5 hboot, which can be unlocked with htcdev. Another option is downgrading your hboot, thanks to unknownforce for bricking his device to show us this method. You can find the downgrade thread in the development stickys

They get installed alongside HTC sync, so grab the latest version of that from the official HTC site, install it, then uninstall HTC sync while leaving the drivers in place. Job done .

Well sence your hboot is 1.49.0018 then head on over to HTC dev website and sign up you will have to do first this where you will unlock your bootloader after that you will be able to install a custom recovery and then install you can install the Su files and this is what give's you root access

Right now i am trying to flash cwm through fastboot.
I type in cd Desktop\Android
In there I have this cwm-5.8.0.2-shooter.img. The name is longer but in cmd i type this.
I type in cmd
fastboot flash recovery cmw-5.8.0.2-shooter.img
and it says to me
error: cannot load 'cmw-5.8.0.2-shooter.img'
What is the problem?
Can anyone help me to resolve it?
There is no info about this error in forum.
After I will flash cwm i will install su files.
Ok I see that you flashing the wrong recovery you should be flashing revolutionary's custom recovery cwm doesn't work for the Evo 3D yet go back to the development section and find revolutionary custom recovery oh buy the way take your time don't rush it you want to do this the right way and that means less problems

You could either downgrade your hboot

Perfection, at least for me!
1. You need a Original Rom to downgrade to Hboot 1.49.0007
2. then you can use h**p://revolutionary.io/ to unlock and S-OFF you HTC Evo 3D
3. Install with recovery a custom ROM you like
thats the way it worked for me.
The only thing you need is to find a original ROM which has the Hboot 1.49.0007.
Perhaps with these hints you find some tuts . I also don't remeber in every detail how it works, sry man
Hmm, you can use the HTC Supertool, but i dont konow if its work with hboot 1.5
I have Hboot 1.49.0018 and used it to root my phone, then i used the app "rom manager" to flash the recovery. And if you used the HTC method (as i did) your bootloader is unlocked, even if there stands S-ON.

(Q)install cm10.1 S-on 1.52 GSM

hi guys i want to install cm10.1 or any thing like it
i have GSM
hboot : 1.52
and i dont want to make it S-off and i cant downgrade my hboot i dont why
so is there any way to install it??
sorry for my bad English
Even if you install it, it's very likely you will have problems with that rom. I was in similar situation few days ago, installed that rom, but screen was not unlocking and phone had random reboots all the time.
Recommendation for that rom:
Required HBOOT : 1.49.xxxx
S-OFF
Radio/baseband : 11.77.3504.00P_11.25.3504.06_M

You should read that you must have 1.49xx hboot and s-off in order to flash cyanogenmod. HERE you can find all the RUUs for the 3d.
THIS is probably what you need. Just download it on your computer, run it and let the phone run again. I think you have to relock your bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" command.
