I have Htc Evo 3D under Sprint. I want it rooted and flashed to Boostmobile. Anyone knows what to do?
Android Version:
2.3.4
Htc Sense Version:
3.0
Software Number:
2.08.651.2
Baseband Version:
0.97.10.0808
Build Number:
2.08.651.2 CL130920 release-keys
I don't know where to start!
:crying:
I feel so sad! I want this rooted to do everything as if it was still with Sprint. I also want to get rid of the extra un-delete-able apps such as Blockbuster. Etc.,
I want to use free hot spot so I can share the wifi with my laptop! Please help!
I will forever be grateful. :angel:
Also, I need something Semi-easy. I am not too computer literate.
Thank You! :good:
If you had read one of the MANY stickies and guides on here, you would know that the root method you will use depends on your hboot.

Check out htcevohacks.com and look on top of the webpage and click evo 3d hacks it will show you pictures and give you the folders you need to root your device and a video. Or creagslist also can do it for you if your not sure of what to do. Also once your rooted and you want to change roms to ice cream sandwich make sure you dounload and install 4ext recovery or you will be stuck on bootlop when you change rom.
What h-boot are you? To find it, take the battery out, put it back in and hold volume down and the power button. I'm not sure about flashing it to boost mobile though, I've heard its not 100% legal. If you're h-boot 1.4 use revolutionary to aquire s-off and root, if you're 1.5, there are a few methods to get s-off i believe. But, like the poster before me, view the stickies. They are easy guides. Good luck!

like the title says... is it done yet? been looking and looking for solutions to that question. i'm already rooted using the htc method. but still looking for a way to get s-off.
check the 3D general section, there are a few threads on it with varying info.
short answer though - no
There has been some effort made towards this front, with little success. Whether you think it's a smoke screen, or not, evil devnull, and his team, attempted this around thanksgiving, and couldn't come up with anything. Not sure if revolutionary is quietly working on something, or if they are waiting for the ICS update, or if they are just done with bootloader unlocking, period (I'm not bashing those guys, but they have been eerily quiet since the bootloader changed to 1.5).
The unlocked, non carrier branded GSM guys have found a way to revert back to an eariler bootloader, using the HTC unlock method, and then performing a similar method to what the thunderbolt/evo shift 4g guys did to allow the Hboot to accept a RUU with an earlier hboot.
I think this doesn't get much attention, because the HTC unlock method allows you can do almost everything you could if you had S-OFF. The only thing missing is being able to flash radios.
At this point it wouldn't make sense for devs to come up with a solution now. Not with ICS around the corner
is there a temp root for hboot 1.5?

whats ics?
The only reason why i ask is because, ##data# or what ever it is, i found my midi number using an app in market place, but when i tried to adjust my volume. it doesnt want to work. i was wondering if me having s-on and rooted is affecting it in any way.
Ics is ice cream sandwich new android OS hopefully coming to the EVO 3d early 2012.

Edit just saw your whole post have a look here my man this is where to start.
s off
first start here at htc dev and unlock the bootloader and when thats done install a custom recovery like 4ext and then install the su file and now your ready to flash a custom rom now thats done look in the dev section for downgrading your hboot from 1.50 to 1.49.0007 and now your ready for alpharevolutionary.io and when thats done you have s off and your hboot will be 1.49.1107

Hello I will be receiving my EVO 3D soon and I'm pretty sure it has an eng hboot and I was wondering if I should leave it as such or should/could I flash it to hboot 1.4? I pretty much want the same rooting abilities I currently have on my EVO 4G I'm not looking to delve into something I know nothing about...Thank you

Understand:
(all are assumed that bootloader are unlocked)
1.4 hboot S-OFF = you can root like we've traditionally have for years and flash any rom
1.5 hboot S-OFF = you can downgrade the hboot to 1.4 and root and flash roms as will or you can keep it and still root and flash roms as will.
1.5 hboot S-ON = you can still root and flash roms as will BUT you just need to flash the kernel (boot.img) first before you switch roms via Flash GUI or fastboot and that's it!
I really don't understand why one extra step bothers people so much? if your hear, you like the hard way, IF you wouldn't then you would stay stock, unrooted and keep living the normal life.....
I'm not worried about doing a little extra leg work trust its just that I was under the impression that you cannot get true s-off on hboot 1.5. But that wasn't my question I wanted to know if it was possible to upgrade the eng hboot to hboot 1.4 and how or point me to a thread that has that explained. Sorry if wasn't clear from the beginning

It's easy to find out just have to go into your bootloader by holding power+vol down when screen is off and it will say at the top of the bootloader screen

There is no soff currently for hboot 1.5. But its real easy if you don't want to use a computer. Just use joeykrim app called flash image gui from the market. There is even a free version on xda. Use that to flash a kernel. Then boot into your recovery and flash the rom. Definitely easy. The only thing hboot locks to my understanding would be radio. Well kernel too but thats an easy workaround with the app.

Hello good people of XDA
As of June 29th my EVO 3D is bangin with ICS 4.0.3 and Sense 3.6
Now as much as i like it, i would like to see more ICS and less Sense, as 3.6 brings minor changes and i feel like its a futile update that took 6 month for HTC to bring! I was expecting it to talk to me and ask, how my day went! :S
I would like to Root the phone, but there is just so much info about ROOT, MOD's, KERNEL's, H-BOOT, S-OFF and all the necessary things to know a little about before ROOTING, that i just feel confused and lost, and cant seem to find the right info for me :S
So my Q's are:
What's the most up to date ROOTING guide for the EVO 3D?
What's the point of a KERNEL, why is it flashable? Do i even need one when ROOTING?
I would like to Backup my existing "Stock Rom" is Titanium Backup the way to go ?
Is there an Official ICS ROM for the EVO 3D without Sense ? That is not tweaked or edited ? Just vanilla ?
What about the CamMod & MusicMod's for the CDMA devices ? Are there any for the GSM ones as well ? Panorama and all the goodies implemented..
What should i use to flash MOD's or KERNEL's onto the phone ? PC or an APP ?
If i missed something, please be so kind and bring it to my attention!
THX
Ok to root I would use revolutionary to root and s-off if it not hboot 1.5 kernels are for permorfance increase and they are flashable in recovery also there are stock ics roms in the development section and vanilla told as welll to download and also to backup stock Rom I would root and backup in a custom.recovery pm me if u need more help
Hit the thanks button if I helped

I need help inrooting my Evo, I want to go with Jelly bean update but everytime i have tried to unroot i fail and lock my phone and i try by doing the OTA (heard that works and will remove root) but i can error when flashing the file.
If anyone could please help or point in the directions of some good links on how to remove root. Im currently on stock root 1.22.651.3
I didnt really like any of the roms and would rather just go with being unrooted.
Thanks.

how do i see what hboot i have?
okay after trying to unroot my phone i think i bricked it, it stuck on the htc load up page, and if i try to turn it off it just turns back on. i cant even get into recovery mode, any help?
Read the link above. Sounds like you ran the 3.15 RUU and didn't get the radio update like the rest is us. You are SOL.
That said, you can get back into the phone, all you gotta do is HTC unlock the phone. Just be aware that unless you have the 1.12 radios any JB Rom, stock or custom, will have unstable radios. For an almost stable experience you will need to flash an old ICS Rom.

I just arrived from the search button, and this is the closest question I have found to what I need, but I don't quite see an answer to where I am, but I figured I would ask here rather than bother everyone with a new post.
I'm on an HTC EVO 4G LTE rooted with supersu, teamwin and all that stuff. I can't quite remember what package I got, but I did it right when the phone came out and have been happily using it rooted since. I would like to go and either make my phone capable of getting the OTA sprint jellybean update, or find a flash rom that I can install.
I haven't done anything yet. My phone is still rooted and fully functional, but I want to get all the advice before risking anything. I did try to OTA update it earlier, but the Teamwin recovery program came up on the reboot.

Years ago, I rooted my HTC EVO 4G and I was a flashaholic. Due to life's issues I have not had the chance to root my LTE but would like to now. I've been out of the rooting world for some time so I'd like a little guidance in the way of websites or just a general direction.
Also, I tried to get ADB to work on this phone and would not recognize the device. No clue what I'm doing wrong there.
Here's what I have, I don't even know if I can root this phone. Is the exploit available?

Thank you.
Check out Bigdaddy's guide for rooting. Click on the link in my sig, as it has a link to his guide, also. Lots of other useful info there, too.
Not sure if your OG was S-off, but it's highly recommended on this device.
I came from the OG EVO myself. Welcome Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any questions, or just ask here in the forum.

Thank you! My OG was rooted using UNREVOKED and I believe that gave me S-OFF and threw a custom recovery on--possibly, it's been a while but I remember that it was very easy and there were literally hundreds of combinations of kernels, radios and ROM you could flash. That unit was truly customizable. I'm not sure why I moved on to the LTE. Oh well, it is nice and is fast, maybe that's why. I'll start with your sig and go from there. I just needed some to show me the gate.

Not sure if you're still looking for advice but if so, via htcevohacks.com and download the EVO4GLTERoot2 zip. Follow their instructions on how to root. Simple and easy to follow. As far as S-off goes, try facepalm (look for it here on XDA) but being that you are on the most recent firmware, you may have to use dirty racun like I did. A bit complicated but it works nonetheless. Find dirty racun at unlimited.io
