Evo V 4G Root and Bootloader Unlock Guide? - HTC EVO 3D

Hey all,
So I've got the Eco V for Virgin and I'm looking to put some custom Roms on it but I'm very confused as to where to start. I know there's an all in one tool for the Desire HD to unlock the bootloader and to root it, but I'm curious to if there is a similar method to the Evo V. Thanks for the help!

I also need help rooting my HTC Evo V. Androidforums is down. Is there anyway to downgrade the hboot to 1.4 to use the revolutionary s-off method? I want to still be able to flash GB roms. Thanks. I'm a newbie to the Evo V

You're could use the guides on androidforums.com, but I have a simplified guide here on XDA for rooting and S-OFF that works fine for the Evo V 4G.

Now will this work for the 4.0.3 version? I know this is an older method and the other guys on the links are using Gingerbreak. Even though I'm running ICS...

[Q] [Help] Evo 3D Rooted.

I unlocked my HTC Evo 3D GSM via the HTC Unlock Method. It's on HBOOT version 1.49.0018. I did nothing more. I want to know if I can go on and install a Custom ROM such as MeanROM now or do I need to do something else before I can? If so, links please. Thank you so much in advance.
Your good. Just flash

Make sure to backup your internal content.. And only choose a ROM that capable for your phone, If you're cdma then go to cdma section, else you're gsm, then go to gsm section.. Don't make any mistake, or you won't be able to enjoy your evo..

next you need to install a custom recovery and also the su file this will install super user you should do this before you start flashing rom's
Here is a link for flashing clockwork mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248231 Look at the 3a part. With clockworkmod you can install roms with ease.
Thanks to you all. Moving to MeanROM tonight \m/

Custom rom for s-on users

Anyone would to suggest which rom suitable for htc evo 3d gsm s-on? I would be appreciate
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
I'm CDMA, but I've heard Leedroid or Mwakious are excellent for GSM. I think they are Gingerbread, but ics tends to bootloop for many people who are s-on.
To unlock the full potential, I recommend s-off.
Sent from my ICS 3VO with Tapatalk 2
I'd say all the roms should work for s-on. Unless it requires a ICS firmware package, I don't think that you should have any trouble if you HTCdev unlock. Also, paranoidandroid and devil toast are pretty good.
Do the s off. Its easy and simple. Just read. The benefits outweigh the risks. Youll be a lot happier in the long run.
I also have a gsm s-on...You should go king cobra or mwakious
I am on mwakious...but 1st install v11 then upgrade !
Do click the thanks button !!
try PredatorUnityROM. its sense 4.0 so you will not have 3d but everything else works
Thanks alot guys for the info. But how i'm gonna change my s-on to s-off, sori i'm newbie .now i'm already flash predatorunity everthing greats but only 3d and wifi hotspot error.

What is you hboot? There are many ways to achieve s-off and its specific to your hboot
There is a sticky in the GSM development forum that might help:

Here's another tutorial you might find useful for S-Off. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248231
If you ask me, I am currently using TeamGenesis rom v4.2, with Anryls kernel 30.09, and everything works great. Not sure if everything would work on a s-on device, it would probably stuck on the white htc image, but you should be able to solve that with flashing the boot.img with adb fastboot.

Are you S-off? If so you can use Viperboy's RUU tool and it will restore your phone back to completely stock condition.

If you're not already S-OFF, feel free to unlock and go through the process of S-OFF because Viper's 3.16 RUU has the ability of rewriting the security flag back to S-ON after reverting to stock.

I have the 3.17.651.4 EVO 4g lte and I am not S-OFF I think my partitions are screwed and I really would appreciate help.
Also the 3.17 RUU I have doesn't work for some reason. Any help is appreciated I would like to unbrick my phone.
A little more info than the ruu doesn't work would help... What error is it throwing? And what system are you on win7, win8, x86, 64bit, Linux, Mac... Etc

S-Off Evo V 4g?

I am trying to attempt [S-OFF] with Juopunutbear.
One of Juopunutbear's requirements, is that your on a completely stock rom.
Im having issues finding the lastest stock rom for the evo v 4g ( Virgin Mobiles version evo 3d) . I've searched high and low. I've came close, but it was an old ruu with an old radio.
I would like to flash a stock rom with same radio, if possible. I've checked http://www.shipped-roms.com/ , google.com and many other places.
Any one been in my situation ? Trying to achieve S-OFF with Jbears method on an Evo V 4g.
I'm tired Of sense roms.... I'm on hboot 1.7 and wish to start flashing ASOP!
Thanks in advance for the replies :good:

"One of Juopunutbear's requirements, is that your on a completely stock rom."
I unlocked with HTC Dev, installed twrp with SDK, and flashed SuperUser patch for the stock ROM.
Do I still have a stock rom or do I have to do the RUU?
