Hi there,
I've been using symbian for 2 years, did flashing and custom CFW and so on... Not a newbie in this. Actually just finished university in Europe and got a degree of Computer engineer and programmer.
Last week I bought an HTC Evo 3D, rly happy about it just want to use it to the max.
I want to root it for some games and apps but know know how and what ROM and ware to get it.
I have a 2 year warranty and I don't want to lose it.
I need information on rooting. How to backup stock ROM so I can restore it to keep my warranty just in case something happens. Which ROM to choose for my needs and how to do it.
Any other knowledgeable info would be great.
Spill me everything you know about this phone and for this phone.
Thank you for your time
NOTE: I live in Lithuania WiFi is not widely spread and free. 3G net is not an option, too expensive.
I use USB net on phone and sometimes WiFi at coffee shops or work.
We use SIM cards I think its GSM type not rly sure never cared.
I want to root it for some games and apps but know know how and what ROM and ware to get it.

If you had read the MANY guides on here, you would know that your hboot version determines what method used to root. ROMS are obviously found in the ROM (dev) section.

Again, there are hundreds of guides on here to tell you. To make a nandroid, root first, then boot into recovery and do a backup.

Well what are your needs in a rom? And again, there are hundreds of guides on how to flash roms, just read.
Well I want the latest ICS but be same as original HTC evo 3D software. I just want the super user so I can do everything I want nothing to special.
Some links would be great, still don't know half of the short forms and what they mean.

you want to benefit from your phone you need to s-off(Void the Warranty) and know how to flash a custom ROM I would suggest leedroid GB ROM is the best ROM Yet even if it's ginger bread try it

So you want a completely stock build? There are stock ICS roms in the GSM section.

There are stickies in every subforum. Please read all of those first, and then if you have any questions, ask. I can almost guarantee you those threads will get you going, that's what they are there for.
Make a naid back up of the stock Rom then if some thing happens restore to that stock Rom then unroot and relock the bootloader
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Thanks, if only I knew how to do any of that... hundreds of guides and no idea which one will work and what will it do :/
Totally lost in this... too many threads and guides and so on...
I need a stock 4.0.3 ICS root no additional stuff.
And a nice guide link how to backup original root and add this. pls help :/
Are you checking the stickies? The guides are all in there. Unless you tell us your hboot version, we can't provide you a link to a guide for that.
Stock roms are in the GSM Dev section.
Read few of them, still kinda afraid to brick my phone.
Where I live there is no sprint or other services like in htcdev.com so not sure what to pick.
My boot screen says this:
Code:
[COLOR="Magenta"]*** LOCKED ***[/COLOR]
[COLOR="SeaGreen"]SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53.0007
eMMC-boot
May 22 2012,01:06:07[/COLOR]
So what can I do ? Pls post links...
Bump for more info
Dude, you don't need to bump your posts.
As I have said before, have you SEARCHED? I went to the GSM section, searched for 1.53.0007, and found 19 threads about it. It's not that hard man.

Since you live in Lithuania, I would suspect you need EMEA, which stands for Europe, Middle East, Asia.

Hi all..I just bought this phone and still in it's box..I had many android phones before and used to root and and flash costume roms regualrily..all I need is a go ahead on how to root and install CWM recovery and the best possible rom in ur opinion cause quite frankly I am lost because of all the threads and tutorials including the version number and all the warnings I read so I am trying to avoid any risk losing this phone since I live in Iraq and it's bad maintainance here and no one knows how to sort things when comes to repair..thanks in advance and really appreciate any help provided.. so happy to get this phone
Usr htcdev to unlock it, flash cwm, then either go s-off and flash your Rom and kernel or stay s-on and flash you ROM, kernel, then fastboot flash the boot.img. Tutorials are in main sections depending on whether you have CDMA or GSM. I personally recommend leedroid or mikrunny.

I can't add the links as I'm on phone but www.htcdev.com has the unlock instructions. As for the rest they are in the forums, try the stickies first. With regards to problems the only ones I would say are the battery life is not particularly stellar on any Rom really, and ics roms don't have functioning camera, but aside from that it is one hell of a good phone with the 3d as a nice bonus .

If you are xdma there is no need to void your warranty with HTC Dec. Look in the cdma Dev section under the stickies and just soff the bad boy. Pretty easy even if you have never run Linux before.

I am lost!!!!alot of talking about frimware and Shooter RUU and stuff...it's complex guys
Shooter, ruu, versions.. your lost?
Hey I would just like to share in part of your confusion and let you know, take it a step at a time! And always READ READ READ , everyone here is very helpful and if you have a question chances are its been answered the only thing is finding the answer hence, "read read read." As for "Shooter" I know HTC phones use code names and Shooter represents our phones the Htc EVO 3d , Supersonic represents Htc EVO 4G, so on and so forth. RUU's I know are the "STOCK" files the completely revert your phone to stock and stand for either "Rom update utility" or something of that nature I am still unsure but Have used before to update my radios through hboot as I am on HBoot 1.5 and wanted the new 2.17 base. As the versions and radios/hboot, software all of the above , on your phone go menu/settings/about phone and read about your versions of software, baseband represents your radio and software info will be something like 2.17.651.5 "build number" is exactly stated in that menu of the phone. Good luck !
EVO 3d
hboot 1.5 s-on htc unlocked

Thankful..but still!
I can't thank u enough..u and the whole HTC forum family are really helpful and great..so I am going to read about what I'm gonna do..and then ask if I am right or not..first thing I registered in HTCdev site to unlock bootloader but there are minimum choices of countries..so I chose US and hence they asked me to choose my phone but they only give a list of Evo 3D with carriers(Sprint and T-mobile and soon)so I am afraid I may do anything wrong..mine is GSM version and not carrier specific and I live in Iraq..what shoould I do now??
I have tried various ways to get my supercid to work and it doesnt. I give up. I just give up.
I put the PG58IMG on the root of the sd card and the bootloader tells me there is no image found.... WTF!
I am about to throw this phone against the wall.... (no I will not give it away, I will kill it) if someone doesn't explain to me why this is happening!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have obtained S-Off earlier this morning.... that was the easiest part of my day....... Tell me how putting supercid on my phone is the hardest part of my day???
When I type in "fastboot getvar cid" it shows me my default cid....
I am going to kill this thing soon....

Ok since I seem to be missing something.... I would need you guys to explain to me (please) what exactly I need.... What do I need to do to make my SCID to work.... I want to be able to write 11111111 so I could flash whatever I want........ I am kinda lost.... and I do not like feeling like a noob....
I am currently running:
S-OFF, Energy Rom (GB), HBoot 1.90.2005.
History:
I had the ICS leak, but took it off. (Does that affect my HBoot?)
Apps at my disposal:
Root Explorer, Rom Manager, 4EXT Recovery, and Titanium Backup.
Well SCID won't let you flash ANYTHING it will only let you flash other Carriers RUUs that also carry the Amaze/Ruby. It won't let you flash a GS2 Rom on your Amaze if that's what you're thinking. Being a Tmobile Customer, we are the only carriers with the ICS for the Amaze so its pointless for now. And Android RevolutionHD does not require SCID for Tmobile users because its based off the Tmobile RUU.
Once other carriers, that also carry the Amaze/Ruby, have an awesome Rom then SCID maybe needed.

In order to have a successful rooting / flashing experience.... you must read.... A LOT.... I hate reading.... But ever since I joined XDA I have done way too much reading... I paid 700 dollars for my phone.... There's no way I'd be stupid enough to not read and brick the hell out of my phone.... My PS3 was only 300 ..... my laptop was only 350.... and my monitor was about 360 and my ipod was about 250.... its the most expensive piece of equipment I own.....
I take care of all of my devices..... I cannot afford to brick my phone.... because once I do.... I'd have to go back to my stupid LG G2x.... and I can't have that!!!!!!!!!!
Plus I learn when I read....
It also says that I need to do a Super Wipe...... so now I gotta read a hell lot of threads and figure out what super wipe does.... and how to put it on my phone....

I see that you got your Queston answered in the supercid thread but this is also for those who posted in this thread.
Your problem is that you have ENG HBoot. You need JB Hboot (or is it JD?), which you can grab in the supercid thread. after you flash the hboot you can supercid. You can reflash ENG Hboot when finish.
I've experienced the same problem as you and this was my fix.

If you had the ICS leak already, might as well flash the latest leak (reported better connectivity than the first leak) and try to superCID with the SHP 1.93.0002 hboot. After you do superCID then go back to GB. It's an extra step but something you've already done before.
Regarding Super Wipe, you should be able to download the file from mike1986's tread under Downloads. All it does is wipe and formats data, system and cache in one swoop instead of you manually doing it yourself.
Hey guys im looking to get help and a tutorial on how to root the 4g lte on 2.13? I've searched online but still haven't found an answer to my question. So if you are reading this let me know how to root it thanks.
Your only option is to use the htcdev.com method. You cannot get s-off though.

Unlocking your bootloader using HTCDev Unlock will allow you to flash a custom recovery. With a custom recovery, obtaining root is easy (plenty of flashable ZIPs for this). This has nothing to do with your version of HBOOT (or firmware or OTA version).
Read the guide I linked to above and it will answer these questions...

Hi,
I have factory unlocked htc amaze, s-on. i've unlocked its bootloader and uses 4EXT recovery. i had GB before and never had ICS on it.
I flashed CM10 rom and for some reason it's stuck on boot loop and i can't get it out of it. i tried to reflash it couple of times but nothing helps.
it comes up and if i'm not touching anything (and it's on lock screen stat) it can last and not reboot. however, when i open the lock screen in about 5 sec it reboots itslef.
anyone has an idea what could be the issue and how to resolve it?
If you scroll down in Q&A you find answers. But it looks to me you have to restore from back up relock & flash an ruu to whatever flag ship your phone is on then ota ics then reunlock the phone. Use the search button trust me it helps alot.
thanks, I will.
I've just tried putting the official ICS , rename it PH85IMG.zip and let the phone do the work. i hope this will resolve the issue.
but should i re-lock the bootloader for it to work?

Hi,
I have factory unlocked htc amaze, s-on. i've unlocked its bootloader and uses 4EXT recovery. i had GB before and never had ICS on it.
I flashed CM10 rom and for some reason it's stuck on boot loop and i can't get it out of it. i tried to reflash it couple of times but nothing helps.

Lol for some reason it's stuck on boot loop. The reason was u didnt read.
Put the ph85img.zip on root of SD card. RELOCK BOOTLOADER. This should bring u back to a relocked bootloader. Flash the ph85img.zip from bootloader and u will be fine. Next time read thoroughly so your first 2 posts on XDA aren't as embarrassing like the guy above me said... There r threads everywhere about this

indeed i wasn't reading thoroughly and thanks a lot for your help however, i did tried what you said and it says model id is incorrect and the update failed. what could be the reason? is the file itself incorrect? I downloaded the file version for T-Mobile as i don't know which carrier is this. i bought the phone in US but not from one of the carriers and it doesn't have any brand on it.
do you think i should try a different ics version?

It won't flash because the ruu checks your CID and if your cid isn't in that carriers ruu then it won't let it work. I wonder if you open the ph85img.zip on your computer and added your cid to it if it would work. Not saying to do that cuz idk if it will or not lol. Try all the other ruu and see if any woork
You will most likely have to s-off and then superCID before u will be able to flash any of the ruu's, but start off by finding out what your CID is by downloading the file I attached and extract that zip on your computer. Now boot your phone into bootloader, then select fastboot.. now connect phone via USB to computer and then open the cid.bat file inside the CID folder. Once its done running, a file should appear in the CID folder called cidnumber.log or somethin like that. Post here what it says

i used the file your attached, and the log file says: "cid: HTC__044"

be sure to snoop around the android development area before asking. I think there's a few different links up. And you can always go to Cyanogen's website. they usually have the original RUU and proper instructions on how to do all of it.

I Could Only find it on XDA Chinas site. I don't believe we have ever had that RUU here.
http://translate.google.com/translate?&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-11187834-1-1.html
U gotta register to download it, and be careful since its on a non English website and u have to depend on google translate. Use it at your own risk. Also I tried register to get the download link and I couldnt get it to work.
If I were you, I would just s-off your phone then super CID it and flash the tmo ruu or any other 1. Simple no prob

What I would do , not forcing you to do this, is to S-Off and change my CID to Super. Then flash a different carrieres ICS RUU. That's probably an easier way to get up to ICS speed.

Why were you trying to avoid it? It's actually pretty easy, and in the end will make other things easier too. Just make sure you read everything thoroughly, and if you aren't sure about something ask BEFORE you do it

I have a htc m8 on at&t. I've been thinking of rooting my phone. I do have a warranty on the phone and I don't wanna void that. Is there a guide on here (for super NOOBS like myself) on how to create a back up and how to root?

Indeed there is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
but if you really dont feel comfortable with doing this stuff, by all means don't. Some things (S-off for instance, which is required to flash upgraded firmwares not specific to your carrier branded device) have a high potential to turn your new toy into a paperweight if done incorrectly. Just read up, follow the instructions to the letter, and come back here with questions. Most of the time someone will be nice enough to assist you

I do wanna root just so I can get rid of this app that's keeping my phone awake. I've read about the sunshine root. Some of the stuff I read is a bit confusing. On the website it says that the update won't require towelroot (is that the right term?) for me to be able to use sunshine. But in here it says that I need to root my device before using it.

I personally nothing about Sunshine. I unlocked my bootloader with the HTCDev site when I got the phone (was shipped to me since AT&T couldnt sell it in the brick and mortar stores for the first month or something like that)

You need to slow down, as it seems that you are rushing ahead with very little understanding of what you are doing. I recommend any newcomer (even experienced HTC users) to this phone spend at least a couple hours reading and learning before doing any mods to the phone. If a total n00b to Android, root, etc. then more time should be taken to research and learn. Reading includes the sticky threads, basic guides, and also my Index thread has a lot of information organized: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Sunshine is an s-off method, not root.
If you unlocked the bootloader, all you need to root is flash SU/SuperSU or a rooted ROM. S-off is not required for root.
Backing up the stock ROM, recovery, etc. is not required for the AT&T version, as you can RUU back to stock.
Also, AT&T (directly through them, not HTC) will only void your warranty for physical or water damage; not for mods.

Redpoint is 100% correct. If this all seems foreign to you, or anyone else for that matter, research, research then research some more! Before I do ANYTHING that I haven't done in the past (hell I have flashed many firmwares and it STILL scares me), I do alot of reading and see if its something I really want to do, plus it will help prevent me from coming back and saying "Halp, my phone is a brick now!". Once I have a basic understanding to it, then I go on

That's why I decided to root my phone because I've read enough to know the basics and I was successful. I'm reading on flashing custom Roms now and it seems fairly easy but I won't just flash a ROM without reading more about it. Thanks for the replies.

Personally I use ARHD 10.2, Its as close to stock as any other, but I have been using Mikes roms since my M7. In order to use it without any of the annoying boot bugs etc, you will have to flash a new firmware but that is one I would recommend, but also read up on firmware flashing and the steps to do it properly

That's what I've been doing. But I've been mostly just looking at what ROM I want. When I find the one I want then I'll start really reading about flashing Roms and everything related to it. So far I still love sense so I won't need to change it anytime soon.

dunno if its just EURO, but since ATT lags behind in updates, and Mike keeps his updated with whatever releases are out, its my preferred one to use
I like how all the bloat is removed, regardless if its a WWE or US based rom
There is a debloated ATT 4.4.3 build thats tailored to AT&T already in the AT&T section. International section is not only place ROMS are released these days...
