Yes, to unlock bootloader at this point in time, HTC DEV unlock is the only method.

Hi Guys,
I just got my EVO 3d Today. Am really excited needless to say.
Ive managed to unlock the boot loader using the official HTC Bootloader unlock tool(Since my software version was 1.20). Now it says unlocked but still has "S ON". Been going crazy for hours now trying to root it. Even tried going into recovery but just get an error symbol.
Would appericiate if anyone can tell me how to go about it or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

easiest way to fix it is to download the stock root 2.3.3 in the devolpement thread and it will give u root after u flash it mape sure u data/wipe and dalvik wipe its in advanced if u need anymore help just pm me
edit: if it still says s-on the go to development thread got to rom guides and use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root its really easy to do

Thanks for the input. The problem is that i can't go into recovery. Every time i try i get a Red Triangle with an !.
I have ONLY used the HTC Dev unlock method and nothing else. Do i need to do/install something more in order to go into recovery?
Just use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root it would be your best bet now i was helping a friend do it the other day and he. Messed but i have a fix if after u do it u get s-off but not root if u need me to help u will going through doing I can but u will have to wait a few hour I am about to go to. Bed u can pm me or hit me up on g+ because my link is in my signature
I shot the maid! What can I say? 3vo shooter
Oh and i can't use revolution because my software number is 1.20.401.2 (When i click on check for updates it says device is up to date) and revolution is only compatible with 1.30.0000 and 1.40.0000

Yes i am on 2.3.4 and my evo3d is a gsm phone.
Totally lost here.
Umm... you need to flash a recovery through fast boot...the red triangle means you don't have one... also if you are unlocked push su through adb and you should have root. I never used HTC official unlock but have rooted several phones... after you unlock the bootloader you push su and flash a recovery

from my understanding, once you use the htc unlock method you can't get s-off for now, until theres an exploit found. I followed a vid on htcevohacks.com and got mine rooted using 2.3.4 but I stil have s-on... not sure if it even matters because i can still go into recovery and flash roms.

Unfortunately its for software number 2.08.651.2 and above. Im on 1.20.401.2. Even when i click on check for updates it says device is up to date.
So basically this method can't work for me .
Guys issue resolved. Even though my device was initially unlocked using HTC Official unlock method i just ran revolution, followed the steps and now I'm unlocked AND rooted by revolution. Just wanted to share that.
Thanks for all the help people.

Hey guys, I want to root my evo4g LTE without unlocking the bootloader if thats possible. I dont want to worry about having to get s-on incase i ever need to bring it in. I have 1.22.651.3. So far every method ive found unlocks the bootloader.
so use zedomax root tool.. it just gives u root superuser ect.. it dont unlock or s-off.. here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577

It labels your bootloader as tampered, though.
"Q: Does this give bootloader TAMPERED?
A: Yes but you can install RUU and will be gone."
Since you took the OTA. You cannot get S-OFF.
In order to flash custom ROMS you MUST unlock the bootloader
Awesome thanks guys

For now, the only way you can root is by going through HTC Dev unlock, which means a full wipe. I'm stuck right there with you.
is this custom rom for xperia go?

Flash boot.img from CM9 ZIP

I am not 100% sure but on the title it says "ALL BLs" which I suppose stands for all bootloaders so probably no you don't need to unlock it.
the rom u mentioned does not requires an unlocked bootloader...
bt it order to run any rom based on cm9 ... u need to unlock bootloader.... as these roms require a custom kernel
clear ?
it says no on the service info to unlock the bootloader so what can i do?
when i get home im gonna install cwm from here http://theunlockr.com/2013/01/14/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-sony-xperia-go/
would it work if i just put cwm? and then flash the rom?
and if not is there a way that i can unlock my bootloader even tho it says no or do something???/??

if you ran the s-off from the unlimited site before you did this than all you need to do is unlock the bootloader with the Unlock_code.bin that you got from the htc dev site
the unlimited s-off is permanent and doesn't need to be done again.
And if you're still s-on, the instructions are on the unlimited site. Pretty sure I had my phone unlocked when I did s-off personally.

Did you try using your original unlock_code.bin? Also if you are s-off can't you just fastboot flash recovery then install supersu from recovery

You can generate a new one. As long as your mid and/or cid haven't changed it will be the same exact token.
