Note: I have a noob account so I can't post on the dev thread about my success story lol.
But I'd like to point out that Juopunutbear's S-OFF method worked for my Australian Branded evo 3d GSM on 1.49.0018.., so phones with CIDs like OPTUS001 etc. Just thought I'd let fellow aussies or interested people know that the method works (with precaution and following the steps properly) ..thread link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585839&page=2 And Now I'm S-OFF horay
..Apologies if I put this in the wrong forum or something. Cheers

Wrong section, please pay attention to where you are posting next time.
In regards to your question, there really isn't an "easier way". The AlphaRev tool is one of the easiest I have ever seen. I suppose if that is too hard you could void your warranty and go the HTC route(Not Recommended).
i already did it with HTC. i want clockwork or something.

Since you followed HTC's method you are stuck as of right now. Their method unlocks your bootloader, but still has a NAND lock keeping you from flashing to different partitions. This situation is similar to the OG Evo if I'm not mistaken. Just wait around and a root method should appear.

You will see claims from people in these forums that they were able to root and install recovery using HTC's unlocking, but those are false claims. All of those posters had been previously rooted using revolutionary.io. No one that took the OTA on a phone that hadn't previously been unlocked have been successful installing a custom recovery.
Basically you have an unlocked bootloader, now you will have to wait for someone to come up with an exploit like "rage against the cage" from the Evo to unlock the nand and attain s-off. If you had the original Evo 4g you will remember that in order to root you had to use unrevoked or Toast's method. Something similar to that will now be needed.
For those reading this your best option is to hold off using HTC's unlocker and if you haven't taken the 2.08 update use revolutionary.io to unlock your phone and if you did take the update or have a phone that came with the update, wait for an update to revolutionary.io.

I completely agree that many of the new users do often get a bit excited and "rush" to root or unlock their devices (without fully understanding or reading directions) and end up in a lurch. But not a single person on this forum should log in to make a person feel bad or incompetent. If you see someone that jumped the gun and is lost, please help them. If you can't, then just let someone who can do it. We are all here to learn and help each other out. Let's stick to that and everyone will be happy.

Amen! I totally agree.
Furthermore, vBulletin, phpBB, Wiki* and most technologies used to share and publish information and content are just terribly inefficient in regards to topics like these (Android, rooting, development, tech, etc.). Newcomers simply can not come into forums like these and find the info or content they want consistently. You can tag, break stuff up into sub-forums and make stickies like 3M 'til your blue in the face but until you fully understand a noob's thought process and behavior and have the software reflect that we forever will have these problems.
One temporary resolution is to try to change the one variable we can change in this equation. That is to try to cease the negative comments since we already know noobs and their questions are a constant.
Do not use the HTC root method, just use the Revolutionary method and before doing so download and copy TWRP and a ROM and flash in HBOOT\Recovery
root with s-on
Like an idiot, I unlocked my bootloader via official HTC way. I have not rooted my phone with revolutionary, my phone was completely stock. I was able to flash CWM via fastboot and install superuser via CWM.
hi,
can anyone advise if there is anyone working on how to s-off EVO3d with Hboot 1.49.00011 and above ?
seems like no one is interested in the EVO 3d GSM, nothing much seems to be moving ?
really fed up and disappointed,
maybe should get rid of EVO 3D GSM and get samsung galaxy s2,
HTC sucks , big time,

Sorry that you are fed up and disappointed. Since you are fed up and disappointed, the devs here working on this getting root FOR FREE will work even harder because they feel your pain that you cannot root your phone and run custom roms that these devs create FOR FREE. You should be happy and praising the devs here for what they have done instead of coming on here and creating a post whinning that there is no root exploit for the new HBOOT.

Anyhow no there is no known exploit at the moment if you just can't wait use this...

And just so you know.. the EVO 3D GSM isn't even out in half the world yet so give it some time alright along with the HD2 these things take time for us to work out.

I can make Root appear . All I have to do is go to the HTCdev.com website and unlock my phone there . Then in a week time the internetz will be flooded with Hboot 1.50.000 being cracked and s-off LOL . Well thats how my luck works anyways ROFL *lays head down on desk*
Hi, i am a new Android user (an Apple defector lol) and i have a couple of question about the rooting process if someone could be kind enough to advise me please. I have managed to get my Evo 3D to show me the HBoot, which is 1.49.0018 (a european Evo 3D i think), now does this mean my HBoot version is 1.4? or 1.49? Lastly, could someone advise the best method of rooting for my HBoot version please. I have read many posts in the HTC Evo 3D forums but there are many different ideas, and i cant figure out which will be the best method for my HBoot version..........Thank-you

try that oine.. it is set for the hboot 1.49 version...which you have...; not 1.4.... and im assuming youre a gsm and not a cdma phone
Cheers.........
Hi bud, and thanks for replying. I took a look at the thread which you pointed out to me and i've got to admit it's all a little double-dutch to me lol. I would normally class myself a quite 'tech savy' and am used to jailbreaking all manner of Apple devices. I think i'm going to have to do quite a bit more research before i attempt anything. Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction though.....and i forgot to mention, yes the Evo 3D is GSM
Hellow dudes and dudas , , i really need ur help because i'm a total noob,
first, what is GSM and CDMA
second, how can i root my htc evo 3d? , like i tryed the think here in the site, but when i call the ##3282# or soo, here in angola don't work :C,
so i saw the other one with the s-of and root from revolutionary.io but my hboot is 1.53.0007 D: and i can't root
can you guys help me? plzz ?
GSM means the phone uses a sim card and CDMA doesn't. Sprint and Verizon are CDMA. Look at the stickies in either the CDMA or GSM Android Development whichever you are. There you will find how to root your phone.

I'm really new to this too - I'm no expert.
To expand on Kevin130's info, GSM and CDMA are basically different mobile network types. They are not compatible so a phone is either gsm or cdma. In terms of where you are, I'd guess you're on GSM. Have a look at Wikipedia below, if you're with either of the listed Operators you are on a GSM network and have a GSM phone.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_of_the_Middle_East_and_Africa#Angola
I've had a big fail and success at rooting my phone. I would strongly recommend that before you try again, read as much as you can on xda or other android forum sites about rooting phones. It's really worthwhile to understand as much as you can about it before trying. Although it's quite hard to wreck your phone by doing something wrong, it can still cause you a lot of pain to try and fix problems you don't understand.
For some entry info on rooting android, google 'beginners guide rooting android'
Also search for thread here using keywords like 'guide' 'root' 'evo 3d' - I think you are better off following guides specific to HTC Evo 3Ds.
Also search for guides or threads or any tips relating to your HBOOT version. One thing I've learned is that pretty much each HBOOT version requires different steps to unlock/root.
Read the whole guide and comments before you start. The first time i tried rooting a phone I jumped straight in and almost broke it. If I'd just read more I would have saved hours or days trying to undo things.
As I said I'm really new at this, so that is really all I can provide by way of help.
Good luck and hope you have fun with it.
cheers
If you reboot into the bootloader (put the phone off, pull battery, replace battery, hold volume down + power untill bootloader shows) you can see if you are gsm or cdma.
It will say 'shooter' or 'shooteru'
shooter is cdma, shooteru is gsm.
Hello, Some poor soul posted (BELOW) this YEARS ago, and never got any help (other than the single, typical, 'go search' 'reply', NOT MUCH HELP when you DON'T KNOW THE FILE-NAME)
I'll just repeat what he said, it's the same thing i'm looking for. I just want 1080p video record on the device, I don't have time to learn another new technical speciality... I can only use official ROMS, None of the half-baked, home-brewed partial ROMS that come with lists of hands in the air, (i didn't do it) warnings of problems and bricking no thanks,.. (right?)
I don't know what 'S-OFF' means and it could takes months to find out here as the simplest of questions can go YEARS w/ no decent attention, I've never seen a forum like this one, One guy actually has 'I WILL IGNORE STUPID QUESTIONS' as his SIGNATURE.... There are no Stupid questions, only stupid Punks who hoarde info because the info TIDBIT (Small as it is, like their EGO...),, its the only thing they have to Feel Important...
I'm hoping this can be a simple double click, wait and done. It is an old phone I took apart, replaced half the innards and screen and now it works, it would be whatever original stuff it came with, I don't need any data on it...
THE POOR SOULS UN-ANSWERED REQUEST:
"Hi all. I'm new to xda. I have been trying to manually update my HTC EVO 4G LTE to Android 4.3, however HTC is no longer hosting the files. I was wondering if anyone knew where i could download HTC's software update?
It used to be here tinyurl.com/n279mpk
The link would download a 866MB executable. Thank you for any advice.."
As you can CLEARLY see, HE DOES NOT KNOW the name of the file, SO being told to Search is useless, NOTHING is EVER Explained Here,.. I find it PATHETIC that this community let that question lapse for YEARS with that single RESPONSE, SHAME ON YOU. HANG YOUR SELFISH HEADS IN SHAME. How is he, or Me or Anyone New, to EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE:
"SPRINT HTC EVO 4G LTE ANDROID DEVELOPMENT" Category, and the:
"SPRINT HTC EVO 4G LTE ORIGINAL ANDROID DEVELOPMENT" Category.... All Greek to anyone not ALREADY IN THE KNOW, HENCE THE QUESTION 2 YEARS AGO.....
So The NON-ORIGINAL category is What? New Ones? and the ORIGINAL category is for Original Copies of Official HTC Releases? OR Perhaps ORIGINAL, Means not ORIGINAL, BUT NEW? OR,... I certainly don't see any CLUES in the categories:
InsertCoin Sense, JEWEL CyanogenMod 12.1, PAC-ROM LP-MR1 Beta3 Weeklies,
NONE OF THIS SAYS:
HTC 4G 4.3 Approved APk 866MB executable formerly hosted at tinyurl.com/n279mpk (OR WHATEVER...) AND NEITHER SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD HAVE A LINK TO ANYTHING OFFICIAL!??!
SO WHY SEND SOMEONE BLINDLY TO "SEARCH" YOU THINK HE WASN'T SEARCHING ALREADY?
THIS PLACE MAN, THIS PLACE.... YOUNG INSECURE MALES HOARDING INFO BECAUSE IT BOLSTERS THEIR WEANING EGO AND NO OTHER REASON.
I NEVER SEE ANYONE GET ANY HELP HERE SO WHAT THE HELL IS THE DAMN POINT?
If there is a GOOD, Android 4.3+ UPDATE FOR STANDARD SPRINT HTC 4G, (NOT USED AS A PHONE, ONLY A TELESCOPE AND MICROSCOPE EYEPIECE CAMERA) That doesn't have strange 'rooting' (?) or S-OFF (?) Requirements then PLEASE, Let Me and the next 100 People to come here, KNOW !
Check out my HTC EVO 4G LTE Hboot guide in my signature. It has a lot of good info contained in it.
As far as updating to Android 4.3, there is a RUU available to do so. You can find it in the aforementioned Hboot guide, along with instructions on how to install it. The instructions can be found in the RUU section of my Hboot guide. The RUU is from HTC and does not require S-off or a rooted device.

Glad to help.
Were there any other questions about definitions or specific help with the HTC Evo 4G LTE (Jewel)?
I'd be happy to help. Anything from "What is a ROM?" to "How can I post a patch to gerrit?" I have written a couple of guides in the past, and I have done work to make custom ROMs easier to build for this device (hopefully "answering" many questions for you).
Feel free to post here, in the different ROM forums, or message me.
