Alright so I can root my Evo with a MAc, but how can I get custom roms if my bootloader is still locked...?
IS there a way for me to unlock it on my Mac?
You should be able to do it thru htcdev.com

Is the Evo under a different name? I looked.
Here's how you do it with a Mac. Go to TigerDirect.com, buy a PC, unlock.
In all honesty, had you researched (as you're supposed to do before doing anything remotely risky with your phone), you'd know this answer. Choose "All Other Supported Models."

Alright nice to see a fellow MAC user + Android lover. I also do everything through my MAC and it was easier than windows because you don't need to install all those stupid drivers for everything.

Well let me know if you were able to unlock the bootloader ... Been reading up on it but nothing. I thought rooting would be harder, but it doesn't seem that way.

I've been rooting since the G1 just never unlocked a bootloader, it can't be that hard, I'm just having a hard time getting the instructions.

If the 3D isn't unlocked right now because units have already shipped, then there will be an update when the phone is released to unlock everything. If that isn't the case, then HTC is almost as bad as Moto.
Also, I think this is in the wrong thread...
Could you provide a link?
I can't find it on the world wide web.

You really think they are gonna risk flashing a bootloader through an OTA? If it's a true statement, it probably pertains to unshipped HTC phones.

I forgot my pattern and my phone is locked now, and asking for gmail account details. I put my details in (with @gmail.com and without) but it doesn't work!

It doesn't work? As in, you don't have internet on your phone? Is your phone rooted? The only thing I can think of is flashing a new firmware.

I do have internet on the phone. Its a known bug which have many solutions on the web but none of them works.. and no, my phone is not rooted.
I'm trying to find a solution without rooting or wiping data..
please help.. my phone is bricked..
bump
It's bricked now or are you trying to get attention? Just wipe it. It's an easy way out.
If all else fails, you could always contact a Samsung service centre, as long as you can provide proof of purchase I'm sure they should be able to unlock it.

I guess the "brick" have a different meaning for the two of us.
I didnt want to wipe it, its my sister's phone and she had important stuff.
Anyway, she found out she was trying the wrong username the whole time.

The only way you could hard brick your phone is if your s off and you mess with your hboot or radios.
The rest can always be fixed.

Things to search for (xda or Google)
- HTC dev Site for unlocking bootloader
- hasoon2000's All in one toolkit (for unlocking, flashing recovery)
- ICS RUU for updating firmware. If you are on gingerbread firmware, you will need to update

i was scared at first as well with rooting and it took myself a while to convince my brain to do it. but like mentioned above, you cant break your phone unless you s-off, and once you learn how to flash regularly, you wont have any worries of breaking anything

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't touch that with an 80ft pole!!!
First off, it's not for the G3. It's L90
Second, and most important, None of the devs working on it have put it out there yet. I'm sorry, but maybe I'm too sceptical to believe that if this has been out since Aug 8th, Why is it not available here?! Or even rumor of it?
I really hope you didn't just ruin your phone. My guess is this has something to do with the T-mo version of the G3 at best. Not to be used on the Sprint version.
I got an 81ft pole if your down. Haha. Just kidding man. I hate seeing threads like this that give us hope for a minute and turn out to be snake oil.

I looked into it too and it seems legit for the phone they advertise but as you said it didn't mention the LS990 anywhere., and how jcase or no one else over here knew about it and if they did and it was legit they would share it here. Hopefully his phone isn't ruined.
no is not damage it even do a back up of the laf.img and boot.img
this looks shady if you ask me.

You're a braver person than I.
In that thread you linked, Sammyz has the partition layout. It's no where near what ours is as far as I could tell. There were many differences.
So even if you managed to get it unlocked, I would think your offsets and partition names/sizes would be wrong now.
I may be totally wrong, and I truly hope I am. But this is a risk I wouldn't recommend to anybody yet. And definitely not for me.
But to try to help you if you want to continue, AT YOUR OWN RISK, I guess you could try the recoveries in the LG G3 forums, under general. It's tethered and might be the safest, but it's also not for Sprint
Bare in mind though, Sprint Does Not have a recovery yet.

It's an unlock for a different model lg phone. At best trying it wont work - at worst you are now bricked. People can be a$$hats.....
I looked through the script and its pulling the partitions by name which is good. The thing i see that would worry me is erasing the the boot img to access fastboot, But it does backup the boot and then flashes it again. I think i might give this a go later when i grow a bigger pair...lol
