i got the s-off on my evo 3d after that i wanted to use teamwin recovery to install the update zip and it froze on installing update ...what shall i do ?
can anyone help me please ...i added a picture so that u guys know what i am talking about
thanks
Hopefully you made a backup before you tried flashing whatever it was you were trying to flash. If you did you can pull battery, boot into recovery, and restore that. Or you can put a rooted rom on your sd card, wipe, and flash that. Good luck.

"eng vs. ship hboot"
I'm so sorry for posting this here as I'm yet not authorized to post in the original forum that it was in. (did not post over 10) But this is regarding putting the evo3d back to root and I didn't understand on what exactly the "eng vs. ship "hboot".
Like I said, really sorry about this , but didn't know where else to place it and sorry if I sound too much of a noob on this.
Any expanation could be very useful.
Thanks,

Eng has more commands if for any reason a sprint employ see's eng they will think you have a developer device versus knowing you rooted. The more commands are good in case something goes wrong you have more tools at your disposal to recover. Hope this helps.
I'm Far from a Noob but may be asking a Noob Question... Lol!
Anyways my question is...
Is Anyone having the Outdated Binary problem like me with what seems like almost Every New Rom I Flash?
It's driving me Crazy, I have a SU.zip.that I Usually Flash but that's even saying Outdated lately...
Anyone have a New Flashable SU.zip that I could Download?
Thanx in Advance...
Nevermind guys...
I Made my Own "SUPERUSER.ZIP" for Whoever Might Need it?
I'm pretty Sure Someone else will run into a Similar Problem!

Unlocking the bootloader will allow you flash different Custom roms(beta of CM9(ICS) is already out) and kernels.Check the development section for roms and decide if u want to use custom roms or want to stay on the stock.
Precision !

Thank you for the information.
I have another question interested? What happens if I flash a ROM without having unlocked the bootloader?
In fact I did it!
And from the device tells me "failed boot 2!" It is because I have not unlocked the bootloader before? And what can I do now? I know it but i'm not sure!
If you want to help me, do not hesitate.
You cant install custom ROMs without unlockng bootloader
After unlocking you have to flash a custom recovery and your ready to install custom ROMs

I made a mistake. But luckily there are friendly people who make constructive comments, which helps us.
Other people believe themselves better and make remarks that do not advance like you.

Actually it was constructive. If you had read the guide per another poster's advice, you would not have then been back asking how to get out of trouble because you chose to ignore the given advice!
There is plenty of good help given and offered on XDA, but it's the people who ignore the help/advice, forge ahead blindly, then expect the forum members to fix their screw ups because now they suddenly choose to listen to the advice who really make it difficult to keep a positive attitude.
Nuff said!

So if we follow the reasoning.
Read the post. And if you're wrong, too bad for you.
it is a beautiful spirit.
I prefer to say "to err is human" but we are here to help. The best thing is to learn from mistakes (but I'm sure you've never made a mistake). And I must say thanks to those who helped me. I will not make the same mistake.
I can even help those who have made the same mistake without insulting them.
And the kind of comments like yours do not learn.
Now I think the discussion can't stop there! And as we say at home: "A bonne entendeur salut!"
Galadiel, I don't believe that is what happened here. The way this conversation unfolded, your messages started off asking a philosophical question "Why is it desired to unlock the bootloader?" and very quickly turned into "Help, I tried it but something went wrong." From your description, the specific problem you had is a well-documented issue that is described in the instructional link you were given to read, including how to fix it.
There are a lot of people trying to modify their phones. That's why the tutorials exist. Your posts sounded dismissive of the help offered to you, and not surprisingly, you got some annoyed responses in return.
----------
Okay then. Are you still having the "Failed to boot" screen appear after flashing the .sbf file with RSD Lite? Have you resolved your situation, or do you still need help?

I say again. Thank you everyone for your help. I read all your advice and went to read the posts that you advised. All this was very helpful.
I know it.I have been impatient. And I made a mistake. But I prefer a real help instead of infertile reprimands.
Again: thank you all for your help. Thanks to you I understand why and how.

I will work on my phone this weekend. I will read all items with carefully. Then I will tell you if I passed or not.

We see you are new here, it is pretty much expected that you spend some time reading the stickies and threads that apply to what it is you are trying to do before making these kind of threads. Add to that this topic has been discussed a lot so there is a tone of info on it. Lastly it is absolutely in your best interest to understand what it is your doing and all that information has been discussed ad nauseum.

I've done alot of reading the only thing I'm still unsure about is why theirs no kernels in the all in one kit anymore. In the video he made there's 2 or 3 choices but when I downloaded it the kernel files empty. I don't know if its something about the new update, but I havnt been able to find anything about it.

You are missing the point. You made 2 threads withing 2 hours and you PM'd me. Instead, you could've made one thread and placed everything there and wait for a response. Patience is a virtue.
I am a nice guy as you saw in the forums. I do not do technical support via PM. I do help around the forum, just not in my PM.
Since you are new to the forum, I'm just explaining how it works around here so you don't get flamed or anything. Some developers do not like to do tech support via PM, some don't mind. However, majority of them don't. Take that into consideration next time.

Yeah I get where your coming from, I'm sure you get tons of pms about the same stuff over and over. So sorry about that. I don't mean to fill up the forum with post that have already been covered too. Your tool, from what I've read, seems like the safest easiest way to root the amaze. It's my first time ever doing this sort of thing so I just want to be sure I don't mess anything up. Could you answer my question about no kernels being in your kit anymore? Do I just need to download one and put it in the file or what? And if so is there anything else That was taken out and needs to be downloaded that I might've missed?
Thanks.
I think I finally have all the steps down.
1) download winrar
2) download tool and extract data folder to my desktop or wherever
3) turn USB debugging on phone
4) download the rom I want and put it into the kernel section of the data folder.
5) plug in phone
6) follow steps 1-5
7) put unlock_code.bin in the data folder
8) flash recover (should I use the 4ext, TWRP 2.1.0, or find another one online?)
9) flash kernel/rom I picked
10) boot into recovery
11) boot into boot loader
12) relock boot loader (how do I get into fast boot to do this?)
Please let me know if I'm missing ANYTHING in those steps. If I'm not mistaken I should be finished after completing all these?
Thanks again for all the help guys! im just a noob that needs some help. Haha

All the steps are correct, except for 10-12. You do not need to relock the bootloader. It will only cause more problems.
ALSO, flash the ROM first, then flash the kernel.

So what should I do after flashing the rom?
Also, dont most of the roms already have kernels in them so I won't have to flash both but just the rom?

If you want to use a custom kernel, then you can. If not, just flash the Custom ROM and you will be fine.

I am agreeing with reefermattness. If you are having this much trouble understanding the step by step guides you need to research everything you do not understand before you attempt to root your phone. Not trying to be harsh but that's what the internet is for. We aren't going to hold your hand and teach you every term and show you how it is done. That is what the guides and videos are for. Sadly if you cannot understand that you should not even attempt to root your phone. Please do your research first.
If I remember right, 1.53 hboot means you are GSM. If so, I'd start here:

The poor guy hasn't specified what he's having trouble with. It's hard if we don't have an idea. I am more than willing to lend him my knowledge. Thank you for stepping in and helping Ryan out. I will have more patience in the future. Good luck Ryan.
Here is another noob yD..Well, I had Xperia x10, we had "Flashtool", "s1tool"..and that's it ..You could do whatever you want..I have feeling that this is "same", only other names..But..
I am really trying to understand methods, but whenever I read something more about s-off, I am more confused :/..
Here is what I am trying to understand..
I received official ICS (I have HBOOT 1.53.0007), and I was on HTCDEV site, where I did all steps..and I have ULBL..after that I installed recovery and SU..I want to do S-OFF and here problem begins..I don't know how, and I cannot find how..I mean, I can find, but not for this HBOOT version..Someone says that I should downgrade, someone says that I just have to do "wire trick"..
What is your suggestion..
Thanks!
Ryan the link that coal gave you is more than adequite, it is as straight forward as you can possible get, the only addition to that is s-off is required as you will need to flash a custom firmware package sooner or later, so the wire trick is required. Zink had a great tutorial on how to do it but it has since been deleted. Can I ask, why are you so adamant in rooting your phone? A piece of info as I am a evo gsm owner, all the rom's on the gsm development section suck, either they bootloop, crash or they have missing components.
