Hi guys!I have a simple(I believe so) and maybe noob question but I wanna be sure about something.I have recently rooted my 3VO and I had to downgrade to HBOOT 1.49.007 in order to do so.I have flashed the leaked Virgin Mobile ROM with Sense 3.6 and ICS BUT I HAVEN'T FLASHED THE FIRMWARE.ONLY THE ROM!
I saw that my HBOOT has gone to 1.49.11007.Now,my question is:is this bad or does this affect my device by any means?(EVO 3D GSM)If i want can I unroot and receive OTA updates,can I downgrade HBOOT,etc...?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Your hboot is on revolutionary correct?
Does it say that up top in hboot? That means your probably s off and good to flash firmware as well as ICS Rom

You still follow the same procedures to unroot for ota, flash stock ruu for your phone after locking bootloader. That is all.
S off is what you want, bit ota only works on stock ruu

Thanks!(I have already hit the thanks button).Since you are very helpful(I am glad that someone experienced told me that upgrading bootloader didn't affect the phone) can you explain me something else?I have had this problem since installing custom ROMS.
If i shut down the phone and plug the charger in,the red LED goes on for about 3 seconds than goes back off,than back on and stays so,and in the morning when I power on the phone it says that I have around 60-70% battery(even though the LED is green).
If I charge the phone while on ,the LED stays red and the phone charges to 100%(but it won't come down to 95,then again 100 and so on).I have downloaded a battery calibration app and I have thoroughly followed the instructions(charge to 100,calibrate,discharge,charge to 100).
Will this eventually destroy my battery?Is anything wrong with this situation?
Thanks in advance
Nobody knows what this could mean?

I'm having to come over via insurance and the 3d is what I get. I have a few questions. Is obtaining root on the 3d a difficult process, as doing it on the 4g was simple. Ive noticed that there are 2 different models. CDMA or the other one which one is the one being given out. And overall how has everyones experience been with this phone. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

If your hboot is 1.4, you can root with Revolutionary. If it's 1.5, you will have to use the hboot downgrade method, found in the stickies.

If you're on Sprint, you have the CDMA version.
It isn't hard at all, if you understand adb. You can root with revolutionary on hboot 1.4 or downgrade if you have hboot 1.5. If you dont want to downgrade try the juopunutbear tool for s-off. It work the first try for me.

You can also go to HTCDEV.COM. They are very good in helping you unlock your bootloader

Welcome bud, I also got an evo 3d through insurance. Although I think the 4g had a better camera and I miss the looks, the 3d is a lot faster and has a much better screen. I've learned to love it.
Easiest way to do things is follow the htcdev.com unlock process to unlock the bootloader. Install superuser of course, then get 4ext recovery. There is a free version but I would highly recommend getting the paid version as I think it includes the app that lets you control everything from outside recovery. This has a smart flash feature for those who're left with s-on from the HTC unlock and hboot 1.5. It will let you install kernels like you normally would through recovery.
Only problem is, with any sense 3.6 ICS Rom you will have to use chads HTC leak kernel or else you will get boot loops. However 3d and USB mount won't work but you can always mount through recovery.
If you don't want to deal with all that, you can try the wire trick method to get s-off on hboot 1.5 so you can use the stock kernel on sense 3.6. It's stickied here in development. Hope all that helps.

Don't misinform. I'm using stock HTC 3.0.16 kernel. Boots perfectly.
EDIT: Didn't read that last part. The reason people were getting boot loops, I believe, was the outdated adsp.img.

Looks like you don't have hboot 1.5 and are s-off...that's why. I was going under the assumption that every 3D is coming with hboot 1.5, and has for a while since I got mine back in november with 1.5.
So did they finally run out of the og evo? They are replacing them with 3d's

The thing about the 3d is that its a way better phone than 4G. Except for camera of course. But I think all the 3d's come with S-on and H-boot 1.5. HTCDEV really helped me out. When u root, try WarmTwoPointThree ROM. Even faster loadup time and comes with beats audio
Thanks for the feedback.. Im not going to lie. I love my ole evo but the last time I dropped it Did something to the Battery. I have a 3500 ex battery that if in the phone it will shut off every 10 to 20 mins. that and the charging port is failing. At least I get another HTC.
My Evo 3D is unlocked, s-off, and running hboot 1.4. I know the OTA update for ICS and Sense 3.6 was just released, but I was wondering if there was a version of that update available that would allow me to upgrade without locking my phone or turning s-on? In other words a clean upgrade (preferably something i can flash from my phone) from android version 2.3.4 to 4.X (whatever the OTA update will upgrade me to) and HTC sense from 3.0 to 3.6. I couldn't find anything when I googled it, and the only thing close to what I was looking for here (hopefully I missed it and my answer is somewhere among the threads) required the wire trick, which im not 100% comfortable with.

If you unlocked and s-off you can flash almost anything you want, the wire trick is for s-on , you need s-off the flash the new firmware that is required fir ics, go to cdma devel. Section
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
You're already S-OFF, which means the wire trick doesn't apply, because the wire trick gives you S-OFF.
If you want the stock, rooted OTA, I would look here:

As long as you have s-off you're fine, the relocked thing doesn't matter, that happens to pretty much everyone who flashes the new fw s-off, don't worry about it.

I have an Evo V and I've flashed just about every ROM there is to flash. If it's working on VM, it doesn't really matter what the ROM is, so long as it works for the 3D.

Any CDMA ROM should work.
Would i have to change the hboot? or can i just keep 1.4 like i do now.

Depends on the rom. The rom's thread will give you recommended firmware.

My phone wont brick if i flash an hboot thats not made for the Sprint Evo 3D?
If you don't know what you are doing, best to just leave it alone.

Im pretty sure if he flashed a hboot meant for like a samsung galaxy 3, he could brick his phone. Just stick to cdma evo 3d hboots to be safe.
No. I didnt mean it that way. I ment that if i flash an Evo V hboot to Evo 3D there wouldnt be a problem. Its perfectly fine right?

Hi guys,
Just to make sure, I have searched and googled but can't see the trees through the woods anymore... :screwy:
I like my 3d capabilities, I like sense 3.6 but I just want more control over my EVO and be able to flash some of the great stuff available here to improve my phone.

U need unlock to flash other roms, gain root, etc
S-off is needed for kernels with aroma and non sense (aosp, aokp, miui, etc) roms, at least to flash them that easy as sense roms, because u would have to flash the kernel with adb without s-off...

If its enough for u to flash sense roms unlocking should do fine for you
Htcdev is one possibility to unlock, i dont know if there is another way for ur hboot, never saw that one
You have the official 4.0 update, or?
I think in that case Htcdev is the only way...

Thanks for the reference but the model in his signature is a GSM version so I think he would do better following one of the guides in the stickies of the GSM development forum.

This is the guide you need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466
I must ask, are you sure your hboot isn't 1.49 or 1.53? Those are the only two hboot versions I ever heard on gsm.
Anyway follow the unlock method through HTC dev. However the links for control bear on the guide are dead. Just go to unlimited.io website and get the control bear from the shooteru section based on os, hboot, and computer your using.
Hello,
I have HTC EVO 3D GSM Rooted,lastest 4ext recovery and hboot 1.53.0007 s-on.
I tried to flash CM11,10.2 and I get stucked in bootloop. I can't remove it.
I tried wire trick to obtain s-off 27times and didn't worked.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks.
Have nice day.
For the wire trick you need to be on stock rom or at least in a rom near stock.

Nop.
S-off required to downgrade hboot.
1.53.0007will definately not work!

Ok .
Can I try do wire trick on MIUI or automatically won't work?
I did the wire trick on 2 devices, one with stock rom, the other with rooted stock rom. Cannot say if it works with miui.
Sometimes it needs more attempts because timing was not correct. Be sure to use an empty sd card or you might loose data.
