I currently have my 3vo on 2.17, hboot 1.5 and says locked at the top but with s-off. I am trying to root it but i dont know if i have to do the downgrade and the htcunlock stuff. Anyone know what to do?
If you are s-off then you are already pretty much rooted. Just flash a recovery and superuser.
So I don't have to have an unlocked boot loader ?
thats it all you have to do is install a custom recovery using adb commands and also installing the su file this is what you need to root your Evo 3D
Finally rooted my HTC Evo 3D after all that process of bricking the phone etc. Also got S-off with revolutionary. I am new rooting the htc evo 3d so im lost and don't know what to do next. i rooted my htc evo 4g in the past but i did not learn a lot.so right now i have stock rom,only thing i have is s-off nothing else.so what's next?

Are you gsm or cdma? But next step would be to make sure you're running the latest firmware. If cdma then flash Freezas all in one update zip then flash a rom. Again if cdma I would suggest Mean Rom 4.2 (gingerbread) or Mean Rom .09 (ICS), they are stable with everything fully functional.

Yeah your phone is CDMA. You can root your current ROM by flashing this from recovery -----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1046553&d=1336400579
Or just flash another custom ROM of your choice from recovery . Almost all ROMs comes pre-rooted.
If you want the latest radios and firmware by sprint , download this ---> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18734200/PG86IMG-2.17.651.5_Firmware_Only.zip and rename it to PG86IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard, boot into bootloader, it will ask if you want to update , hit yes.
And if you are going to flash the ICS leak, dont flash the firmware as some members are having problems with it. Just flash the ROM without Firmware and it should work.
EDIT: Do you have working superuser or SuperSU in your current ROM?
You said you are rooted, and you also said you have S-off and nothing else
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21374142
[ROM] STOCK 2.17.651.5 Update.zip + Radio/Firmware bits
If you are in fact Hboot 1.4 flash zip to update your radio etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645211
Then download the latest Mean Rom ICS (.09 at the moment), flash and profit! If you need any help or insight feel free to pn me anytime. Also the Mean Rom community is full of support not only from the dev Mike but also us users.. Someone will be able to help just about anytime of the day/night

Were the calls and texts working after achieving S-OFF and before installing the zip that I linked?
The problem you are facing is not because of the zip but i is due to revolutionary tool.
Everyone who is S-OFF faced that issue just after running revolutionary.....
It can be solved by doing hands free activation......
I am not on sprint, so just search or ask some sprint users......
Hope this helps....
Using your phone pad dial ##3282#
Select edit mode and enter you device's msl code(MSL Reader from market can get it for you). Go to Data Profile then press menu and choose 'restore". Your phone will reboot and reprovision upon reboot.

Thanks i will try that,let you know if it works
Flash 2.17 first
But now you unlocked your device into many possibilities :
-custom roms to make the phone smoother and better battery life, like viperrom
-custom mods
-overclocking your processor
-installing custom themes
-free wifi tether
You unlocked your phone. Do whatever you want. It's free from all restrictions.
Edit: I'd like to also point out that flashing a sense 3.6 (ics sense) rom requires an adsp.img that works with ICS. Basically, don't Flash an ics sense rom unless it says Sense 4.0. Sense 4.0 roms are safe to flash.

Flash a custom rom or find the superuser zip for the Evo 3D and flash that.

Flash the zip from recovery that I linked in my first post of this thread on previous page to root your current ROM. Then ROM manager will ask you for superuser permissions and it will work. And instead of clockworkmod and rom manager, download and install the 4ext app from 4ext.net and it will flash 4ext recovery from that app.It is a touch recovery like twrp 2.0+ and CWM 5.8.0.x.
And are calls and texts working now??

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/68032705/ics evo3d/PATCHES/CWM-SuperSU-v0.88.FULL.ROOT.zip place this on your sd card (anywhere) , boot into revovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache, selsect "install zip from sd card" and flash that zip, then reboot, and voila "FULL......PERM......ROOT"
so just downloaded the new offical ics update for my unbranded gsm EVO 3d an when I try to update the phone reboots as it would to install the ota but it just freezes with an error screen (droid with !triangle) now this happens on my phone aswell as my friends were both rooted with clockwork mod recovery installed but NO S-OFF !
I wonderd if anyone else has encounterd this problem an if so is there a fix ?
I am experiencing the same problem. My bootloader is unlocked with htcdev.com, I have the 4EXT recovery.img on it and the phone is rooted with SuperSU.
When I try to install the OTA ICS update the phone reboots and there is a progressbar for about a second. After that the error screen (droid with !triangle) appears and the update stops.
Does anybody know how to get the update installed? I don't want to do a factory reset and delete everything that is on it. But I dont care if the root is gone after the update.
U have to be locked and unrooted u will loose the ability to flash custom kernels better get s-off and flash it per my guide on this forum

If have the same problem. My device is S-ON too. Can we unroot and back to stock recovery mode while the device is S-ON? or is there any untouched official update (for using in this situation) that we can use?
thanks.
I want to root my phone, but I have Software Version 2.13.651.1 710RD. I'm not sure if I can root with this version. I tried running the 1.13.651.1 RUU, but I just get:
"ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."
Am I doing something wrong? I downgraded using this method on my old phone.
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I can use Regaw's rooter.
EDIT 2: Nope, that didn't work. I went with this: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/
You can gain root access on all versions via HTC dev unlock. Once unlocked flash recovery image and then su zip or the rooted ROM of your choice

I just found the manual way to do it. I used this site: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-root/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery. Yeah, I used HTCDev and went through that guide.
Hi guys.
It's 2 days already I am trying to do s-off for my evo 3d. Maybe anyone got "up to date" thread where I can do this? My hboot is 1.49.0018, and GSM phone.
Because thread using hex and revolutionary method is out of date, and the main file PG86IMG.zip is no longer uploaded there.
Juopunutbear method requires stock RUU, but when I download from http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Shooter this version: RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.zip I get wrong zip file when flashing. Name was too big for 4ext, but when I shorten name it's gives error.
Any ideas? :crying: Thanks..
EDIT: Got S-off, but have no root now..
You can't flash that through 4ext. You need to rename to PG86IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card. Then reboot into the bootloader and when it asks to update, hit volume up to say yes.
Make sure when you boot back up to delete the file from the sd card.
I believe your bootloader needs to be relocked before running the ruu as well.
fastboot oem lock
Personally I have seen many evo V users get s-off just by being on a stock based rom. Because there was no ruu available to them they went as close to stock as possible. Probably best to just follow the instructions though if you have that option.
Thanks Brian. Actually I did just like you said, but apparently that RUU version had 1.53.0007 hboot, so now I am on stock RUU with 1.53.0007 hboot.
Gonna try juopunutbear method first if I manage to install linux first haha.
Good luck! It's not too hard to make the live dvd/usb. There is a program you can download that will set it all up for you if you go to the ubuntu website. They have all the instructions for a live ubuntu dvd/usb.
So I finally made S-off using wire trick But got new problem so gonna ask here..
I am still on stock RUU, and I installed 4ext using Play store, but it's not working cause it says I need root. I installed busybox and SuperSu, but SuperSu won't work, it says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU can not install it, This is a problem!
I had root before I know for sure.. Also I can't go into recovery from bootloader because recovery does not exist. Can I flash 4ext through the bootloader renaming it PG86IMG.zip or it's not how it works?
Just downloaded several "root checker" apps, and all of them says I have no root access.
Thanks!
Edit: my hboot is 1.53.7777 now if that matters.
Edit2. I am on stock ROM, maybe that's why it does not work..?
EDIT: I've fixed everything, thanks.
Sorry, was asleep but glad to see you got it! I'm assuming you had to flash Super user to get the binaries installed? The app is just an interface.

Yes I flashed recovery using adb and then SuperSU using recovery And my root access came back.
