So I was driving down the road today and noticed that I could do an OTA...being extremely green to HTC, android, and rooting...I accepted. Then I noticed that things weren't working like they were before the update. Doh!
Came home...hopped on here and noticed that was very stupid. No more root.
So I have S-Off and bootloader unlocked (did when I got home) but no root. Is there a way for me to get it back?
Thanks in advance!
Nevermind, was useless.

That method no longer works on the ota update.
If you're S-Off with bootloader unlocked all you have to do is grab a custom recovery and flash a superuser package. Since you're green here are some links.

OTA and new to root
I too am new to rooting my device. I rooted with RegawMod and love it but I can't get the OTA update to even work. I tried to download the jewel update from this website

I couldn't figure out what to open to make it work. I am new to the rooting so I could use some help.

Thanks! This is great! Going to check it out now.
Same here. I am rooted running MeanRom and today when the ota started, I cancelled it thinking it might mess something up with my root. I went to do the update this evening because I read users were getting better 3g speeds and what not, but when I go to install, it just reboots into recovery and so I followed with a reboot system in twrp and when it fully reboots, I get nothing.

I would say to just wait until the devs update the roms we are using with the ota. It seems as though I'm reading its doing something with the bootloader and installing a stock rom?

I'm thinking if I lock and unroot, I should be able to get update? I tried just going ahead with update but it keeps booting to twrp. I can reunlock and root after right? Im too novice to use s-off method.

I'm actually not on S-OFF and its doing the same. I would say unroot and then try updating. Once you unroot, it should go back to stock automatically
Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using XDA-Developer App
S-Off is something you guys will want eventually and updating the Hboot will more than likely keep you away from that. Just sit tight and wait on the Rom of your choice to be updated or download the rooted update within the development forum.
That's what I was trying to suggest doing. I'm not really interested in the update as of right now.... Sitting tight! Lol

Guess this is what I get for not understanding the update before I installed it. Used Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, thought I was good to go. I should have known something was amiss when the update was a HTC software update and not a Firmware update. Not only did it nix my root, I can't even get to recovery, it blocked it.
My current configuration is:

LOCKED

So I am thinking I am pretty much toast. Not real interested if flashing ROMs at this point, just wanted Root.
This totally s__ks. And 3 days before they light up LTE in my area, ugh.

hey guys,
very similar situation -
my phone never got 'auto updates' turned off, so on saturday it accepted the update and installed over my rooted evo lte. i have no custom recovery or unlocked bootloader. the phone now does not receive calls/texts (can send/call out fine) i cannot get it to flash back tothe stock RUU b/c i keep getting 171 usb errors. Is there a way to reroot it on the 1.22 software? i figure if i can root it, i can then unlock the bootloader and install a previous version on it to get it back to OEM settings. if it doesnt fix my communication errors, i can at least take it to sprint to get a new unit.
thanks

My phone was rooted w/ s-off, I had to take it to the Verizon store today for a warranty replacement so I unrooted and got it back to s-on before I went. They gave me a new phone and when I got home I noticed they had applied the OTA already before I left the store, must have been when they were activating the phone and new SIM.
So I have 2.11.605.9 and I try to run Revolutionary to get s-off and root and it stops saying it could not get root.
Am I stuck waiting for the Revolutionary tool to be updated or is there something else I can do?

So when you say you can't get "root" do you mean it won't flash their custom bootloader?
Have you tried using the manual method?
Has anyone else tried this to confirm if the exploit has been patched?
I guess I could be a guinea pig and try it out for myself. Of course, if I can't root that will really put a damper on my ROM update

Ok, took the plunge and tried the htcdev.com method but the Thunderbolt is not supported. It returns a "token" that is necessary to complete the unlock process that says "invalid token - device not supported". I guess I have to wait for the folks at Revolutionary to get root back.
If you don't mind having to wipe your phone... You can rooted and on 2.11.605.9... see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20434629&postcount=36

You are correct. The problem I, and a few others, were having was we were unrooted and s-on. The OTA was applied to an already locked bootloader and thus couldn't run Revolutionary to get our phones rooted or s-off. No way I was going to chance taking my phone to the Verizon store with s-off for a warranty issue.
Every time I download 2.11.605.9, the zip is corrupted. I have tried MultiUpload and other sites. Need Help

Hey everyone,
Noob here. I've checked out a bunch of stuff on the forums and it seems like the only solution to the OTA 2.11.605.9 blocking of revolutionary is to downgrade to .5
However, I've had my tb for a while and don't want to wipe my contacts and data. Is there a workaround for this? If not, would it be reasonable to expect some kind of fix for the revolutionary method in the near future?
Thanks
I tried to follow what everyone was saying but don't know the Tbolt well enough. Can someone post a step by step on how to get root and S-off with a Tbolt I bought last week? I understand it to have the 2.11.605.9 software...

Hey All,
I am trying to install the OTA for ICS that was released by Rogers today for my EVO 3D.
I am rooted and unlocked but with the stock Rogers ROM and I also have S-OFF.
The problem I am running into is that I am able to download the upgrade but when I go into HBoot and try to apply it I get a signature verification failed.
Originally I thought it might have been a bad download so I downloaded it a 2nd time, same result.
So I thought, what the hell, I will turn off the signature check and try it again. This time I get an error that the 'assert failed: check_cid(getprop("ro.cid").' and the installation aborted.
Does anyone have any insight into why this would fail? I am hoping to apply this but not sure why its a no go.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers, Crash
Have you ever changed your cid? run "fastboot getvar cid" and post what it says. If your cid is original for rogers, the ota may not be working because you are s-off.
Hey @patrick92260
I have not checked my CID, not really sure how actually.
In order for me to run that command I would have to be hooked up to ADB I assume? If so thats going to need to wait until I get home tonight to try that and give you the results, unless there is another way I can run that command?
Thx for the reply
Yeah it's done through ADB. If you don't really know what the cid is, you probably haven't changed it. If you have the stock recovery, then the reason the ota isn't working has to be because you are s-off. you will probably have to wait for an RUU to upgrade to ICS.
Makes sense then. Would setting S-ON make it so I can apply it? Or would that not be worth the effort?
Honestly I can wait a bit longer, we have been waiting this long for it
Thx for the help.
But you should be able to get back to S-ON by flashing Gingerbread RUU, no?
If you originally used revolutionary to get s-off, then you have radio s-off which is the highest level of s-off you can have and i would not recommend trying to set it back to s-on. i also have a rogers evo 3d and i am using the asian RUU ICS and it works fine while letting me keep s-off after flashing it so i would recommend using that RUU if you want ICS.

If he has radio s-off you can flash any RUU you want and it will not turn it back to s-on. Radio s-off is basically permanent since it removes the data in the S58 section of the phone. The fake s-off is the one you need to be careful with which is usually done by using a hacked hboot.

Bull**** Bull**** Bull****.
For getting OTA you need NOT rooted and NOT deodexed Stock-rom+stock recovery.
Don't try to make S-ON, it is great chance to brick the phone.
And your CID you can get with cid getter from the market.
Patrik, stop it plz.
Is there any risk or advantage to used to Asia one? Not sure I want to have that one my phone over the NA ones.
Would there not be a RUU or this Rogers release? Maybe I should just say the hell with it and just ROM it?

It's a toss up if the RUU for rogers or the europe ICS ever shows up here. I am using the asian one and don't really notice any difference over the rogers or europe update. If you have radio s-off you can always downgrade by flashing a gingerbread RUU if you don't like the asian ICS RUU.
I had to run the Rogers gb ruu 1.20.631.2. It then update to 631.3 when I checked for updates. I then booted checked for updates again and it updated to ics. Now I'm running official Rogers ics but as I said I had to roll all the way back 1.20.631.2 and update all the way up from there.
And it does update the hboot but you can downgrade it with ruu previously mentioned.

Somewhere in the development thread there is a thread with shipped ruus already covered to pg86img.zip. Just find the Rogers one and put it on the root of your sd card and boot into bootloader. It will detect it and install 1.20.631.2 then just manually check for updates under about phone. The first update should be 1.20.631.3 which is 9.35mb then xcheck again and it's the ics update around 306 mb. Sorry I can't link to it you'll have to search the development forum. I've had it since it was posted way back when on my phone.
Make sure it's renamed PG86IMG.zip

Ive tried to do this, after downloading it and putting it in the root directory of my phone. Hboot sees the image, stalls there for a few seconds then continues. nothing has happened. Ive tried installing it from CWM, no difference. I think i may need a bit more help then this. After it was detected, i did go and see if it was downgraded in the ABOUT, but it sits at .3 still.
Any ideas?
Okay, so for those people out there that are looking to do this, here's the functional way it worked for me (no errors, nothing happened during the update)
Download the .exe file,
EXECUTE the exe file from windows while the phone is plugges in. This will revert back to .2
Put phone into a wireless network once back up and running.
Update the phone as neccessary.
After the update, i noticed my Hboot when to 1.53.007. Now we just need to wait for a root.
Also, when i went into Recovery from Hboot, i noticed that it didnt do anything, sat there with a pic of my 3D and it had a red exclamation point. should that happen?
no luck
hi i have tried every method here with no go. i have s-on and phone is rooted. can some one post a working rom or something for the love of android!
looks like it was the bootloader it needs to be relocked using rootevo3dnew.zip. which will allow you to downgrade using the ruu file in windows. followed by the 2 updates in about phone and i got the ICS yay! if you have trouble search youtube for the video on "relocking evo 3d bootloader" it was easy, good luck ppl.
So after finding out about the OTA update to 4.0, I decided to get rid of my custom rom, de root, and try it out. Seems good so far, but I haven't seen any info on rooting this yet. Anyone know if there is a way to do this yet? Or even a crazy guess as to when this will happen?

why on earth would you "deroot" just wait 24 hours to flash the rooted version then you wouldn't have to worry about that. the bootloaded has changed... unlikely anyone will be able to root. unless the CD works on 4.0

Bummer. I de rooted because in order to run an ics Rom I needed a custom kernel, and either the kernel or the Rom made the phone freeze up one in ten times I turned off the screen. Wasn't worth it to me.
To root the ota all you have to do is apply a custom recovery .IMG file via fastboot or a pg86img.zip file in bootloader. Then install via the new recovery Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip (google it, easy to find). Boot into the system and download busybox via the playstore and then install busybox via the app. That's it. You will have full root with busybox.

Already ppl asking for root on the new update smh it might take a long time just like s-off for 1.5 or no time at all but I would just wate for a stock rooted Rom of the ota update
Phone:HTC Evo 3D CMDA
HTC Sense:3.6
Software number:MeanROM ICS v2.0
Kernel version:?????
Baseband version:1.06.00.1216
Build number:1.13.662.2_RC
HBOOT:1.50 S-off (juopunutbear)
Recovery:4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC 5
Cant get root access.
So while browsing yesterday I came across the news that ICS ota update for Sprint EVO 3D has started rolling out.
I was on Mean ROM ICS 2.4.
I immediately went into recovery did a superwipe , relocked the bootloader using fastboot and started installing 2.17 ruu so as to get ICS update OTA.
I was successful in doing on what I had planned to . Booted up into system got OTA update and upgraded to ICS.
Played around with it for some time before I got bored and decided I need to root it.
So I then went into fastboot...... Unlocked the bootloader again ... flashed cwm touch recovery and installed SU 3.0.** .zip hoping that I would be able to install busybox and get root access.
Tadaaaa surprise surprise !!!!!!!
Latest superuser version installed there but it was not helping at all.
Downloaded busybox but it wont install and no matter what I tried I didnt get root access.
Above that my phone has gotten slow now and I no more get smooth transitions across while scrolling .
I find myself in trouble now.
Could any one suggest how I could get root or perform and fresh install again.
Also I was unlocked hboot 1.5 s-on which got updated to hboot 1.58 I guess.
So now its unlocked hboot 1.58 S-ON
I am not habitual to the spiking during transitions and it for some reason annoys me. I could really use some help here.

Well I must have gotten lucky. I decided i'd rather run stock without any root instead of having to deal with pulling my battery 20 times a day. Tried several roms, custom kernels made it faster, but weren't very stable. Now on stock ics rooted, don't see the big deal. It was easy to root again, and everything I was doing before works just the same. The only problem I'm having is getting dsp manager to work, but it didn't work on my custom rom either.
Perfectly satisfied with the ota.

So while browsing yesterday I came across the news that ICS ota update for Sprint EVO 3D has started rolling out.
I was on Mean ROM ICS 2.4.
I immediately went into recovery did a superwipe , relocked the bootloader using fastboot and started installing 2.17 ruu so as to get ICS update OTA.
I was successful in doing on what I had planned to . Booted up into system got OTA update and upgraded to ICS.
Played around with it for some time before I got bored and decided I need to root it.
So I then went into fastboot...... Unlocked the bootloader again ... flashed cwm touch recovery and installed SU 3.0.** .zip hoping that I would be able to install busybox and get root access.
Tadaaaa surprise surprise !!!!!!!
Latest superuser version installed there but it was not helping at all.
Downloaded busybox but it wont install and no matter what I tried I didnt get root access.
Above that my phone has gotten slow now and I no more get smooth transitions across while scrolling .
I find myself in trouble now.
Could any one suggest how I could get root or perform and fresh install again.
Also I was unlocked hboot 1.5 s-on which got updated to hboot 1.58 I guess.
So now its unlocked hboot 1.58 S-ON
I am not habitual to the spiking during transitions and it for some reason annoys me. I could really use some help here.

Superuser 3.0.7 did not work for me. I went to http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and got 3.1.3 and it worked just fine. So far flashed a few things, and used root explorer, and its all been working.

I tried doing it your way.
Unlocked bootloader again , installed custom recovery , installed su 3.0.7 via recovery n then booted into system n downloaded busybox
But it just wont install . I tried checking root access and there is no root access.
I checked the superuser .... its there installed correctly but I just wont get root for some reason.
Can u help ?

You are absolutely right.
I was waiting for this update for a long time.
I guess I became impatient n just got carried away LOL .
Now I am stuck with an upgraded hboot too. I guess I have screwed myself up atleast for a few days. :crying::crying:

Same result with 3.0.7 but for some reason if you go to http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and download 3.1.3 it works just fine
Just sharing my upgrade/root experience - was running ICS Cool Sense v7, S-OFF, HBOOT 1.04 ENG. Downloaded 2.17 PG86IMG from goo-inside.me site. Flashed that and it automatically re-locked my phone but kept S-OFF. Booted up with HBOOT 1.5, downloaded OTA and installed it. Now on HBOOT 1.58, unlocked phone again with HTCDEV. Flashed CWM Touch Recovery via Fastboot then Superuser 3.1.3 in Recovery. Full root - no issues.

Same here. Had all kinds of issues and tried 3.1.3 from Recovery about 30 minutes ago. Worked like a charm - full root.
P.S. I have always been stock with S-On so it works either way.
I did this with 1.5 hboot s off. Just unrooted and locked bootloader loaded up the 2.17 pg86img.zip and took the ota. Relocked bootloader and flashed cwm recovery and Su 2.3.6 (I think...) And I'm back in business with full root. works like a charm and very easy. Even for me and I'm a total noob. now I just gotta figure out how to add tweaks and remove bloatware.

Lol @ all you flaming trolls who flamed this guy and didn't read his post. Good Game Zero tolerance.
OP note: I'm sure eventually a root will come out for this aswell, the 3D has died devs need something to work on.

Can someone help me root this phone?
I unlocked it via HTC method and I even flashed a recovery. But when the phone boots up, I am unable to use any super user permissions. So, I download root check and it says I am not rooted. What am I doing wrong?
I didn't have this pain on HB 1.5

flash this through recovery and you will have superuser.

I had also did that. Thing is, when I booted back up, my phone was in the state of not being rooted. Even after flashing the superuser zip.
So, what I did was flash the boot.img from the rom I wanted to flash, through fastboot.
Thank you for the help though. It's really appreciated.

Months ago I used HTCDev to unlock and flashed TWRP recovery and su-2.3.6.3.zip from this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
I was underwhelmed with the MIUI ROM and got curious about Sprint's ICS update, so I relocked the bootloader and ran the 2.17 RUU.exe, then updated to 2.89 OTA. After that I could use my original HTCDev Unlock_code.bin to unlock the bootloader, but su-2.3.6.3 would not give me proper root access (verified with Root Checker app). Thankfully downloading Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and flashing it through recovery worked.
I now have root with the stock Sprint ICS. Why? Because I wanted to keep the 3D and Wimax functionality (i know, i know) while still being able to run TiBackup to freeze the goddamned pre-installed apps that everyone hates. I'm sure this is stated elsewhere in the forums, but I read your post before I resolved my issue so I thought I'd come back and reply just in case you or anyone else were still grappling with it.

Thanks a lot, that really helped me to root a brand new stok rom on the Sprint evo 3d!
Just for future reference when you download a super user zip, notice the letters next to superuser efghi those letters represent the past android os's (e)clair, (f)royo, (g)ingerbread, (h)oneycomb, and (I)cecream sandwhich. Always look for that if you plan to root a stock Rom.
Hi all,
Hope this topic hasn't already been covered a million times.
Here's where I'm at,
I've unlocked by bootloader, that's all no root or custom recovery.
Now when i try to do a OTA update i get the dreaded red triangle. very frustrating!
I've tried fastboot oem lock, but it says relocked, not locked and my OTA update still won't work.
I've searched high and low for a RUU for Telstra Australia, to no avail..... DAM IT!!!
Can anyone help???
If I root, use firewater to soff the use scotty's to relock, will the OTA work then? How would i get rid of the root?
I have some understanding of fastboot, adb and flashing but I'm still a bit of a noob so go easy.
Sorry if i posted in the wrong place.
Can you get into a custom recovery or no

Because you could use Guru found in HTC One Development which can Lock, Relock and Unlock the bootloader. If your not rooted then you would be fine to receive the update after reflashing the stock recovery.

Yeah I could if I installed one. I can get to the stock recovery?

I believe stock recovery is what you need and all stock system files in place to take OTA. I had my Max S-OFF, unlocked and rooted and it still let me take the Kit Kat update, so really not sure why you can't, being only unlocked. Are you sure you didn't alter any other files?
Yeah I'm sure, definitely only unlocked. It's driving me crazy! I wasted hours trying to work this out.
Here's the error msg I get,

What is that TuneIn.apk i see in the error? Could be you are missing that and it is a file it looks for.
Hmmm, that was a factory installed app that seems to have gone missing since I unlocked the boot loader, along with the HTC torch app. I will install it and see what happens...
After a bit more reading, unlocking the boot loader clears all data from the phone. Including a few apps that are preloaded in a data folder. It appears the update looks for these app.

That sucks, i wonder how I got mine to update after I unlocked, lucky I guess. Looks like you might be on the right track tho, let me know how it turns out.
I know I didn't relock to get ota. Perhaps its a device based thing. On sprint for instance I never have seen the relocked or tampered tags.

Still battling away, no luck yet. I have rooted with custom recovery now.
So you were on the stock recovery when the update went through?

Yes I was, I had just gotten a replacement and it was still on JB. So I immediately ran Rummrunner to get S-OFF and then I was unlocked, rooted and S-OFF, everything else stock. As soon as it re booted it ran the update for KK and all was good. After that I just put TWRP on and re rooted
