Just bought it and I love it, I just wanted to get a few questions out of the way as soon as possible.
1.) Is there any method available at this moment to root this?
2.) Which (If Any) ROMs will work on this from the Evo 3D CDMA Devs?
3.) Do I have to worry about radios while rooting/installing ROMS?
4.) Are there any recoveries available for this phone as of yet?
5.) Is there any way to use ICS's Panorama feature & ICS's Consistent Google Search Bar?
Thanks/Discuss
If VM leaks work on the sprint version, I'm guessing sprint ROMs work on a VM phone.
There should be a panorama option within the camera app, at least there is on the ics leak I'm using (sprint).
Your other questions... I don't know if anyone really knows the answer yet. It's too new sorta. The Virgin Mobile leaks of ice cream sandwich work on sprint, as was posted before me. I'm using one. So one would think it would work the other way around. I wouldn't flash any radios that aren't vm though.
As for rooting... Not sure. We don't have ice cream sandwich on sprint yet officially and no one has discussed rooting that from stock.

That's helpful, and its weird because my Evo V doesn't have the Virgin Mobile logo on the back like it did in the video, its weird and has the Sprint logo lol. No panorama that I found though, maybe because its the Sense 3.6 Camera apk and not the ICS one?
I have sense 3.6 virgin Mobile ics leak and it's there. It's under scene modes I believe.

I'm running the stock Virgin mobile leak and can confirm no panorama. There isn't even a scene modes thing.

What is your HBOOT, Radio version etc. I would think that if the HBOOT is a downgradable one or one you can unlock you can do everything the same as the Sprint version. There is literally no difference between the Sprint and VM versions as far as hardware. (I think )
I haven't checked for myself but other people say it's 1.57

Oh interesting... Maybe it's just an addition to my rom. Sorry.
But anyone on the official rom for vm not a leak, can you tell me if the front camera works right? What I get on the leaks I've used is the pic, when you view it, is reversed left/right. I hope they fixed this.

Root and S-off for HBOOT 1.57 HTC EVO V 4G Virgin Mobile

This is what I did for my VM HTC EVO V 4G ICS.
1. Root using this method. I stopped after flashing superuser zip. This gave me root, TWRP and superuser. I did not flash a custom rom or kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
2. 3. and 4. I did not flash any roms, kernels and TWRP is installed in step 1.
5. ? did not find panaramic.
6. Then I did this to obtain S-OFF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585846
7. I did not flash the new recovery included with the S-OFF
8. NOTE: I had to do the HTC unlock method again. I chose yes on the phone like before and then hit the power button but nothing happened. I then chose no and hit the power button and phone rebooted and showed Unlocked. I don't know why it doesn't do it exactly like the first time but it works.
9. This left me with my EVO 3D with phone unlocked and S-OFF. HBOOT was left stock 1.57 and phone remains rooted stock rom with flashed superuser.
10. I then booted up and replaced Superuser with Superuser SU in the market.
Good luck.

Even with hboot 1.50 u can get cm7. Look in the Dev section at the stickies. Theres a tutuorial to flash certain Roms with your situation.

If you are already unlocked and running Synergy, I would assume that you have read the procedure on how to flash ROMS/Kernals. Flashing CM isnt any different that I am aware of. Though I havent flashed a direct version of CM, I did flash the "secretpartymeow" ROM (which was a CM ROM) that was floating around here in late October. Look for the CM thread in the dev section, downlad it, then flash it.

Cm7 only for CDMA evo

don't worry about S-OFF - you can do everything *except* flash radios with S-ON.
Soon we'll all have S-OFF... but for now it's only a minor speedbump
I went through and found it but the link isnt workin ne more
When i try flashing cm7 it stays on the htc screen and dont change so i wiped and reloaded synergy idk what i did wrong and i have sprint so it should be cdma not gsm
Getting ready to sell my 3D and want to make sure that the buyer will be able to activate it on their account with no problems. I'm currently running the MIUI rom on my device and am assuming the best bet would be to put a stock rom on it for them to activate. I want to be able to keep the wireless tether options there for them but they also want to activate in a Sprint store. Any ideas on what the best bet would be to try to make the transaction go as smooth as possible?

Flash a stock rooted rom. In order to move service he will need to update the data profile and whatnot, which needs epst and ## codes. So aosp roms are not an option until service is moved

They are the codes sprint uses or gives you to use over the phone to set the phone up on your account... You need a sense based rom....Any idea why they are opposed to doing it over the phone....then it doesn'tchave to be stock...

Yep, that would prolly work, but they would have to be protective of the phone in the store or next thing you know they r hboot 1.5 no root.... With newest ota... Which has issues obtaining root with the HTC method... So I would be very specific with my request in store, however I would not even consider going in store I would simply call,

Since the phone is (probably) already s-off, upgrading to hboot 1.50 does not matter. I've done it multiple times. You can still downgrade hboot and /or flash whatever you want.

Issue was caused on the latest 2.17 update alot of folks even back on 2.08 would get to the unlock code bin apply to unlock the phone. It would say sucess but nothing would happen.. That was the one slight issue. All they needed to do was use the latest RUU exe to fix it. Re do the unlock part and they were good to go...
Most people don't know root and you'll have to explain it to them. Save the hassle, flash stock rom and and sell it.
Personal experience, I had a rooted 4g and it has trouble activating so I had to flash stock and activate it. We had to meet up twice. Don't limit your market by being more informed. If they wanted rooted they would do it themselves
Hi,
I have been reading this section for sometime and my friend has ask me to fix his phone. He owns an Evo 3D and it has all this Vodafone bloatware all over phone and would like to remove it. All he complains is about how bad that Rom is and of.lags the phone badly. He would most likely like to continue using HTC Sense and is there any generic HTC Rom that is available ?Also the Vodafone logo on bootup on his 3D. Now as far as I know he is running on Android 2.3.4 and the hwboot is 1.49 I think. S-Off is also on so I would like how to turn it off.
Thanks

Read the stickies in the dev section.
CleanROM is one of the best Sense based ROMs. Fast and battery lasts a long time.
Well does it matter if I flash a cdma Rom with a gsm EVO 3D?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yes it matters.
We're comin from a pure power source.
Yes, it matters, because the CDMA ROMs will not work on the GSM phone and could potentially brick the phone, don't even try it.
I'm on Vodafone too, and luckily I didn't get any of the bloatware crap like the start up animation and stuff, thank god. At the moment I'm using virtuous quattro ICS Sense 3.6 ROM and it's working great, smooth, no bugs (from what I can tell) and it's not caused any problems. The only bad thing is the camera and USB storage doesn't work within the ROM at the moment, so to mount your SD card you've gotta have revolutionary CWM 4.0.1.4.
Have fun.
Can you link me to a guide on rooting this phone please?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
It depends on what hboot version the phone has. But either way, all the rooting guides are in the stickies in the Development section, just like I said in the second post of this thread.
I got hands on my friends phone and its using a hwboot 1.49.0013. I can't seem to see any threads on rooting and turning s off for this phone. Do I need to downgrade the Hwboot in order to get root and S off?

Not me!!!
i was gonna update to the new ics roms, but i had to first downgrade my bootloader so i can s-off... for some reason After I downdraded, and ran revolutionary, it messed up my flash to boost... now i cant get the phone to activate!
Yes I'm EVO 3D HBOOT 1.5 rooted now with S-OFF. I'm on Boost Mobile also. I did the wire trick to get S-OFF and YES this will restore the phone to the original settings. YOU WILL LOSE THE FLASH TO BOOST. Therefore, I lost my BoostMobile flash and had to go through all of that exercise again. Not fun. I wish I had known this in advance as I would not have bothered with getting S-OFF. I did this because I heard you cannot use ICS ROMs with S-ON. Well now that I have S-OFF I was able to get Mean ROM to install but it appears to be loaded with Sprint Bloatware so I didn't want it. I tried the latest Viper Rom hoping it would be better and I'm not able to get past the HTC screen after it is installed. Therefore I'm still on GingerBread using Eternity Infected ROM 1.4.2. I tried upgrading to Infected ROM 2.0 but it had problems everytime so I'm still on Infected ROM 1.4.2. I also have not done any firmware updates so my Radio or baseband is still 97.10.0808
Here's the situation, my phone is running great on SuperLTE or any other Sense rom. Excellent battery, no signal problems, no freezing, just a reliable piece of technology. The problem comes in when I try to run anything other than a stock style rom.
When I flash cm10, everything works good, except for sporadic mms sending and receiving. If I flash any of the miui builds I have a messaging LOS after a reboot that my phone can not recover from and a full wipe is required.
I have tried reflashing radios, prl and profile updates. Tried doing hands free activations. About the only thing I have not tried is running the RUU. Would this make any difference? I'm s-off with hboot 1.12, 1.12.11.0809 radio. With the JB update dropping any day should I just wait for the new firmware and try that first.
Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I would read through the OP for CM10 and see if anybody else has had the same issues. If Sense-based ROM's work fine for you, I'd be inclined to say it's CM10, not your phone. Also, if and when JB drops, I'd wait for a rooted version from one of the devs, as opposed to losing root and potentially other issues.
