Not yet. And this should be in Q&A, technically.
you dont need s-off

Also this.
The current HTC unlock allows kernel flashing and even radio flashing, so S-off really isn't needed anymore.
Well aside from getting access to bootloader and getting rid of things like the tampered message and the disclaimer text on splash. But those are cosmetic.
oh okay. Huh. thanks

Every day it's the same thing, people asking about s-off. Use the search button, it's up on the top of the screen and provides the ability to find other discussions and potentially the answer to the question you are about to ask.
This is what comes up when searching s-off:

It's in development by Teamwin. Not out yet.
Hey thanks

I believe they have shifted their focus from fre3vo^2 to fre3dom in hopes to achieve S-Off faster.
they will release it after HTC releases the OTA that unlocks the bootloader

Not saying I disagree or agree but time will tell. Still, I can understand your frustration in waiting. I kinda miss my Evo 4G, also. I used to flash a different rom every week. But I'm going to wait it out instead of returning my 3D (like others have talked about). Regardless of who unlocks it first, (I really hope TeamWin will unlock it before HTC as I think HTC's method will likely come with a "catch"), I look forward to the excitement coming back to this phone. Until then, I will try to enjoy the stock rom while keeping an eye on XDA for permanent root.
I cracked my screen and am going to pick up my replacement either monday or tuesday. I know I need to do a nandroid and then a factory reset, but do I need to unroot?
If your turning it in I would just for good measure. Some say Verizon doesn't even look to see if you've rooted, but with the direction the company is going, there's no telling what they'll do.

Yes, here is a very easy way to get back to the complete stock setup. Name this file PG05IMG.Zip and reboot into the bootloader to install.

It's an insurance replacement. Nobody is gonna ask. If they do, it got lost. Why would you even think of giving it to them?
I don't mean to hijack, but I am rooted and have bamf. So I just put that file on my phone and install it in hboot and im back to stock?

I need to root a 3D on my account but i'm at a loss. Had the original Evo and never rooted it since I only had it for a month b4 I went with the Epic. I rooted both Epic's with no problem it was mad easy. However I don't know if its me but the Evo process seems like its more complicated from what I'm reading. Or maybe it's just the fact I don't have the 3D in my hand at the moment. My thing is what is hboot and how do I check what version I am on? I don't even know what s-off is either smh lol. Is there a link with maybe easy steps to follow? PS flame away if ya need too i'm a Samsung boy so I know i'm a lil slow on the Evo..

Just go on the dev section in the "stickies" thread and there are multiple threads on how to root and answer all your questions. when you get you phone, to find out what hboot turn off, hold power and down button. since it is a new phone more than likely it will be hboot 1.5.

Deleted. Because my response was just as useful as the threads mentioned...
I just got the EVO 3D a few days ago, but as a themer this is in no way my first go around with gaining root access on a phone/and unlocking the bootloader.
When I came into these threads I had no experience with having to use HTC's (Stupid) unlock tool.
but I went to the roll up sticky thread on here found a guide to make sure I knew I was doing...
asked one little question on IRC I didn't see discussed on the threads , and I was done rooting and had flashed MeanROM in Total time: about an hour
I think if people would just learn to try and read and figure things out, instead of posting a thread about every little question and waiting for a reply they'd get done much sooner.
The guide to unlock the 3vo's bootloader was very easy compared to other devices I have used,
Tl;dr: noobs will be noobs.
It's not as easy for some where the HTC unlock doesn't even work. While others should just read the damn instructions and pray it works, it doesn't always work. It worked for me, but on my friends 3D I can't figure out for the life of me why the unlock will not work. I've tried just about everything. He has software version 2.17 which will not accept a 2.08 RUU and everything else I've tried fails on the last command to unlock the phone.

I just ignore any threads with "MIUI" in the title, 1.5 hboot not so much
I'm on 1.5 and actually look for those threads when I'm logged in. But I do see waaayy too many of them for people to be trying to look around.
Unfortunately it seems like many of the useful "stickies" haven't been updated/clarified in a while (imo) and are creating some of the confusion. I've asked in some of those threads for the op to update the links etc (ruu's, Su, recovery, Hboot 1.5, adb/fastboot cmds) and haven't seen a reply.
I ended up creating a thread to help with this until/if the others get updated:

1. Yes, you can still flash ROMs even on the new hboot.
2. All you have to do is use RegawMOD to do everything, and then flash a couple of SU zips.
3. Questions belong in the Q&A section.
In the future, never accept an ota

Well, what I'm going to probably do is accidentally my phone, then get another without the HBOOT problem. Unless I can be more patient, but...S-OFF = awesome. .
You can do HTC unlock which is what I had to do... Works great. I am enjoying all the roms as if I was s-off

...not as much fun, though.
EDIT: Just to clarify, the previous doesn't mean that I can't wait, it just means that I feel the frustration of others who had bad things happen (like OTA updates!). We'll get it, though. Still a new phone, still lots of fun stuff to play with....and at least we have the HTC Unlock available, and can still get root.

Well.. Someone complained and blamed HTC for their own mistake, and then someone else decided they wanted to purposely break their phone in order to get a new one.
So it's probably as silly as it looks.
Being S-off is overrated. Its the same as being HTC Unlock.

That's not exactly true after this last update. If I recall correctly, if you HTC Unlock on 1.22, you can't flash kernels through recovery, you have to do it another way. I think there were other things we couldn't do anymore as well.

Absolutely not my good sir. In Addition to flashing kernels, you can't flash radios, splash screens, ect through recovery and you can't flash anything not signed by HTC via bootloader

Rule #1. Please do not spam the forums with silly questions.
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
