Oh i have to install? Ok. After I install it, whats next? How do I acquire superuser?
:laugh:
Google htcevohacks.com and look for root htc evo 3d it will show you step by step. If you are on hboot 1.5 to upload difrent roms is a hassle the best way to do it is installing 4ext recovery from the app store and make sure you download the file it gives you.
clarify?
wait so, (i am hboot 1.5++) I still go and root it, but after which I download 4ext right?
yes. after flashing the recovery (4ext) you can flash a root zip or a ROM based on the OTA you are currently on

Hi Guys,
I just got my EVO 3d Today. Am really excited needless to say.
Ive managed to unlock the boot loader using the official HTC Bootloader unlock tool(Since my software version was 1.20). Now it says unlocked but still has "S ON". Been going crazy for hours now trying to root it. Even tried going into recovery but just get an error symbol.
Would appericiate if anyone can tell me how to go about it or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

easiest way to fix it is to download the stock root 2.3.3 in the devolpement thread and it will give u root after u flash it mape sure u data/wipe and dalvik wipe its in advanced if u need anymore help just pm me
edit: if it still says s-on the go to development thread got to rom guides and use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root its really easy to do

Thanks for the input. The problem is that i can't go into recovery. Every time i try i get a Red Triangle with an !.
I have ONLY used the HTC Dev unlock method and nothing else. Do i need to do/install something more in order to go into recovery?
Just use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root it would be your best bet now i was helping a friend do it the other day and he. Messed but i have a fix if after u do it u get s-off but not root if u need me to help u will going through doing I can but u will have to wait a few hour I am about to go to. Bed u can pm me or hit me up on g+ because my link is in my signature
I shot the maid! What can I say? 3vo shooter
Oh and i can't use revolution because my software number is 1.20.401.2 (When i click on check for updates it says device is up to date) and revolution is only compatible with 1.30.0000 and 1.40.0000
Are u on 2.3.4 or is ur 3vo a gsm phone?

Totally lost here.
Umm... you need to flash a recovery through fast boot...the red triangle means you don't have one... also if you are unlocked push su through adb and you should have root. I never used HTC official unlock but have rooted several phones... after you unlock the bootloader you push su and flash a recovery

from my understanding, once you use the htc unlock method you can't get s-off for now, until theres an exploit found. I followed a vid on htcevohacks.com and got mine rooted using 2.3.4 but I stil have s-on... not sure if it even matters because i can still go into recovery and flash roms.

Unfortunately its for software number 2.08.651.2 and above. Im on 1.20.401.2. Even when i click on check for updates it says device is up to date.
So basically this method can't work for me .
Guys issue resolved. Even though my device was initially unlocked using HTC Official unlock method i just ran revolution, followed the steps and now I'm unlocked AND rooted by revolution. Just wanted to share that.
Thanks for all the help people.

Hi, i have unlocked my Evo 3D using HTCDEV.com. I was wondering if it will be ok and safe to do the ICS OTA update when it arrives? Also could someone please advise me on my next steps to root my Evo 3D so i can use custom roms etc. All i have managed to do is up to yet is unlock my handset using HTCDEV.com, but i am unsure what further steps i need to take to root my device as there are so many different view and topics on the subject and it all gets a little confusing as what to do next. My HBoot is 1.49.0018, and i really dont know what to do next, so could someone be so kind as to advice on what further steps are required.........Thank-you for any help offered.
You might already have done this but just to make sure.
Did you flash a recovery.img?
I wouldn't bother, there will undoubtedly be a pre-rooted, cwm flashable version available within a day of the update landing.

Don't know if it will update the hboot but I suggest you downgrade and s-off it, if there is any method available for gsm...
And to flash a ROM, you don't need to be rooted. Just flash a custom recovery.img like 4ext, twrp, cwm. Then flash any ROM that you like. Almost every ROM here comes with super user. So after flashing a custom ROM made by a Dev , you will be rooted. If you want to root your stock ROM and don't want to flash custom roms for now, just flash a custom recovery first, then go to recovery flash this zip if you want SuperSU by Chainfire----------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
OR
this one if you want Superuser by ChainsDD---->

The second one might not work...
@iTzLOLtrain......I haven't flashed a recovery.img as of yet because i am unsure of the software to use buddy. If you could advise on which software you think is the best then i am more than keen to have a shot. This is my first time ever with android and i am really scared of 'bricking' my handset. I was under the impression if i wanted to install custom roms that i would have to root my device first?
@mnomaanw......Hi bud, i have tried the links you posted but i just get a 404 page not found error.........Cheers

Oops sorry....should work now.
Next step is to flash a custom recovery like 4ext which has no issues at all and then flash your su file this is how you obtain root access after this you flash a custom Rom

Ahhhh, I remember my first time. Do an awful lot of searching and reading. Once you feel like you can't get anymore info on a subject, then try it. You may have an issue, which most people on here will help u with when ask. If you came from that fruity company, you should be very happy with what Mr. Android and his developers can do.
I was with blackberry for 7 years and recently made the switch to the HTC Evo 3D (gsm). While I love it, the email has been subpar although mostly due to godaddy sucking
I want to upgrade to ICS, but it seems so overwhelming compared to blackberry which i knew like the back of my hand and Im scared i'll brick it.
1) what is the most stable build of ICS for my evo, and
2) does anyone have a link to a good tutorial to flash/upgrade, I want to learn it well
Thank you I appreciate it greatly!!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535987 this guide should have everything you need. As far as the best ICS rom it looks like cool sense 3.6 is the one. I'm using a cdma evo3d so I can't say for sure. Just read read and read again before starting the unlocking of the bootloader and you'll be in good shape

Afaik, ics still a leak version but so bugless, maybe you'll dind a minor unnecessary bug when using it.. Just in case you find a bug share it to the dev..
Before you're talking about ics for further more, you need to root your devices first in order to gain control of your phone:
1. Unlock your bootloader using htc method
2. And follow the guidance in this link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17250151
After this 2 step, if you wanna still to gain a permanent root in order to upgrade your baseband, radio, firmware etc, you need to s-off your evo, check this link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23379702
Careful for the last one, read it carefully or you gonna brick it...
Hope it helps..

the most stable roms are the mwakious rom and the virtuous shooter
Thanks for the help guys. This is what my phone says currently when I hold down PWR+VOL DOWN:
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.49.0008
i was using this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535987
but ran into so many errors. For example, heres a few steps:
2. Unlock your device the htcdev way. Visit http://www.htcdev.com and follow the instructions.
You can take a preview of all the steps in attached zip below.
3. Read this post by flashmaniac, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...88&postcount=1
4. Read this post by happyhallsy8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...58&postcount=1
5. Uninstall the HTC sync application from your computer.
---
well I unlocked it using step 2 no issues, it seems 3 and 4 are irrelevant? But its not really worded or explained well. Is step 5 necessary too?
Now here's where I ran into real problems. I then proceeded to the next steps installing the clockwork mod which worked, i go thru the prompts etc to load the Zips to my SDcard, i then try to install from zip, error, i try to install custom rom from zip, error. I cannot proceed any further.
HELP!
do u need hboot 1.49.0007 for this or what?
mate its because you are still s-on. There's an app called flash image GUI which is what you need, flashing rooms from clockwork mod can only be done with s-off, I successfully gained s-off on my GSM evo with the 1.49 hboot using Revolutionary, its up to you whether you try for s-off or flash roms using the s-on method. Hope that helps.

Use a Rom like leedroid for that process, also if you just want ics you don't need s-off, install 4ext recovery and flash Roms like you were s-off...

So I am having... issues, installing ROM's.
Things I've already done with the phone:
I have installed CWM Recovery (version 6.0.0.0, touch)
Unlocked using HTCdev
have S-ON
have HBOOT 1.53.0007
Initiated a boot-loop
The EVO is currently boot-looping as a result of trying to flash a ROM. I can, however, still get into ClockworkMod Recovery and into the area where it shows the HBOOT version, phone type, etc.. I want to install an unofficial build of CM10.3, but the phone boot-loops after I flash the ROM through CWM. I have tried extracting the boot.img file from the ROM zip, flashing it through fastboot, and then flashing the ROM itself afterwards. I have also tried every possible combination of wiping Devlik Cache, /cache, /system, and /data partitions. Any tips? If it is the S-ON (I'm pretty sure it is) then can someone provide a way to obtain S-OFF without the "Wire Trick"?I don't have Ubuntu! The same goes for the HBOOT Version. I know that could also be the problem, as it is too high. If you do have a fix, then could you go into serious detail when describing it? Thank you!
P.S. Moderators, if this is the wrong place for this thread, please don't hesitate to move it.
Only sense ROMs can run on your h-boot. 4ext recovery is recomended. There is no way to s-off your phone other than wire trick. If you used search button you would find around billion threads that answer your questions

you can install senseless roms and miui but only stock based ics roms,alternative way is to do the wire trick,if you don't run ubuntu u can do it with windows with an app called controlbear.exe ,earlier I had the same problem and I just do this unlock method on windows and now I'm happy with hboot 1.49 s-off

I've spended almost the entire afternoon looking for this info and it seems everyone is just too smart and I'm too dumb or we lost kinda the "basic guide" somewere.
I've just got the phone 2 days ago and the idea was to get the Yas4 v11 installed, still dont wanna wreck the new phone and I'm trying to do things as they should.
Yas4 v11 does not need the S-ON, so I've got one thing less to think about, and that's the only thing I actually know...should I root the device? ( don't think so ) Still I think I should install a recovery right?...please gimme some basic steps and I'll wreck my mind into it, I don't really want to be a disturbance.
Whould gladly appreciate any kind of help :laugh:
PS: Done it with a defy a looong time ago( still have it, still love it ) and with my ex Xperia ZL ( but only original software on the last one ) so I'm a little rusty

First of all, the rom itself is rooted so when you flash you will have root. This does not require S-OFF because it is based on stock ics. To do the procedure you have to unlock your bootloader through the htc.com website and have the fastboot drivers and files on your pc to flash the unlock code binary. There are plenty of guides showing how to do it, just a registration on the site and follow the steps to unlock it (ps: you will loose all the personal data on your phone, eg:factory reset. SD card won't be affected) After this part is done you will see ***UNLOCKED*** on the top of the bootloader of your phone, good luck

Yeah weird, you got it second hand? You could bypass the unlock from htc because of S-OFF, nevermind. So you can install any custom rom out there, remember that using any aosp rom you will loose the 3D recording (taking video/pictures). What's your hboot version? To install 4ext on your mobile you can download it here and flash it through fastboot mode. "fastboot flash recovery 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC1.img" is the command. Change the recovery name to a smaller one for easier use.

In order to install aosp roms you have to downgrade your hboot. If you want to downgrade it is very easy. I can explain it to you if you want.

So Aosp rom is equivalent to custom rom...
Whould this be allright?:
Downgrade to BL 1.49
Quote:
►►Now to downgrade bootloader to 1.49....
►►Remember that PG86IMG.zip file?
►Put it on the root of your sdcard (so don't put it inside any folder)
►Boot to Hboot->Fastboot-> bootloader
►Press BOOTLOADER button...
►Now we wait until the installation is finished... of course, press YES when it says so.
►►You're now on bootloader 1.49, S-OFFed, and with a custom recovery...
If not please explain
