did you need to change your CID? I wonder if devices with CID HTC__044 are capable of downgrading or not.
i have updated my gsm evo 3d to ics hboot 1.53.007 and unlocked bootloader , and the 3VO_V2 says it supports my htc cid which is HTC_J15 so it should work right?

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

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.

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

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

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

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!

Hi guys
I m having htc evo 3d with hboot 1.49.0011,s-off and locked
i have unlocked before using the htc dev method but the problem was i couldnt install ics rom but only can install gingerbread roms
So i relocked it, now i want to do the whole process again and also s-off my bootloader as my bootloader was s-on the previous time i unlocked my phone.
I do find a lot of tutorials but i cant understand them. Can u guys link me and post me about simple tutorials on how to downgrade ,s-off and unlock my phone.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I m a gsm user.
Are you GSM or CDMA? I've only worked with CDMA, but if you are s-off, I would flash the eng hboot from xHausX. Do you have a recovery as well, or no?

You edit the dvblk mount and write 1.20.707.3 instead of the 1.22.707.3 using hexeditor?
Also have adb installed? Uninstall HTC sync?
Also make sure during the adb commands your getting pushed through no errors, otherwise might have to mount system read/writable with es file explorer.

Hi, you need to run adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img before we can use the hexeditor to change the version on the phone right? But in the first place I can't even get my PC to recognise my phone, so how am I suppose to move forward to the next step which is to change the version?

Unfortunately there is no method for gaining s-off without having to unlock first. However with this guide that ramjet73 put together you can have your phone s-off with "locked" bootloader by the time you finish performing the wire trick. You will have to have to unlock your phone and gain root first before you perform the wire trick. A lot of people have said that using a paper clip works the best. Well here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
Dont forget to hit the thank you button if I helped you in anyway and don't forget to drop a thank you for ramjet either.
Thanks for the referral jsparta26, but he's got a GSM model and my guide is specifically for Sprint S-ON phones.
If you had the CDMA version you could do the hboot 1.4 downgrade for S-OFF that requires bricking the phone but doesn't need HTC unlock. There was a "quick root" utility posted in the General Forum a few weeks ago that didn't work on the CDMA model with the Sprint ICS build installed but I don't know if it's been tested on the GSM model yet. Post #5 in that thread says it requires HTC unlock, but the OP never confirmed that in that thread or the original version he linked.
Maybe a GSM user knows of a way to get S-OFF on your model without the HTC unlock. Are you aware that the JuopunutBear wire trick resets your bootloader status to "locked" (at least on CDMA) even though you have to do the HTC unlock as a prerequisite? There is no indication on your phone afterwards that you were ever unlocked. Once you are S-OFF you can flash whatever hboot you want.
