Good evening,
I want to gain super user on my HTC evo 3D GSM phone. Also I would love to have a backup of original stock due to warranty ( got 2 years).
I don't want any fancy ROM's or anything stupid.
Just original stock ICS 4.0.3 just like stock 4.0.3 but with Super user. All I want is Super user nothing else is needed.
I know how to S-off.
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]
European user no sprint here.
Do not post posts with there are guides... There are like 100 of them and most of them are about S-off and others just look like gibberish nonsenses. I would love to see a clean simple guide to receive Super user.
Thank you for your time and please don't judge me...
All roms have super user pre-installed, there's alot if roms for gsm phones, but you will have to flash new firmware for most if the current roms, after you unlock and root, 4ext recovery has the option of backing up your current rom (nandroid backup) and flash to your hearts content with boot loops

Thanks for fast response, but your post is not helping at all... I could use some real links to ROM and how to root it. As I stated above I don't need anything fancy just ICS 4.0.3 with SU. and please no short forms, lost in the meanings To my understanding as a computer engineer and programmer Boot loop is a loop that keeps booting and reseting it and do the same till the end of times But I guess in android community it means something else
Ok , go to the evo 3d gsm forum and you will find rom's galore, I am done here, no thanks is required and have fun with all the boot loops oh I forgot :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

AFAIK, Superuser access will require you to root your phone. If you want to root it, try the HTCdev method and then install SuperSU from the market.

NO, unless you have S-off. If you read the information posted by the developer on the market page, about halfway down it says:
PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE PURCHASING (Important info below!!!)
Manual to the app at

Boot Manager
When you're thinking of installing apps that require root access, it's a good idea to read all the information to find out if it supports your phone.
boot manager DOES too work with HBOOT 1.5
i personally use the htc evo 3d cdma version and have hboot 1.5... i have successfully installed it and have flashed several different roms ... the s-off is NOT required...but an ulocked bootloader is if you feel i did something to make it work or any questions you can find me here or at the init2winitapps.com forums as willie62226...thank you and sorry they mislead you with the information

Before questioning , you should have searched once...... It works on hboot 1.5 and any S-ON device IMO. I use it on my HTC unlocked 3D without any issues
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500538
@twolazyg
It works ,LOL. S-OFF is not necessary. The Dev of the app told me, he mentioned S-OFF on market to insure zero issues. The only problem with the app on S-ON device is , if we cant get a SLOT ROM to boot up then we need to fastboot recovery and flash update.zip located in sdcard/bootmanager/phoneROM...... this process can be skipped for S-OFF device.
hey guys
I ordered a evo 3d today and it will be in my hands in about 2-3 days and I need something like a tutorial or something other to get some informations about bootloader, recovery, root (especially that method, what is NOT using the htc unlocker website mode), also what are quite good roms to flash and some info about overclocking the phone, but this is not sooooo necessary, I just want have it rooted with recovery and some mods...
it would be very nice, if someone could help me
ps: sorry for my bad english, but I'm polish/german.....also sorry for this noobie questions thanks in advice
Read, read, read. Best advice ever.

look in the "rollup sticky" thread over in the Development forum. Video tutorials and write-ups and links to drivers etc. are all in there.
This should be all you need to root, flash a recovery and install su. Follow the directions exactly and you wont have any issues. Works for me although I use TWRP 2.0.
Should note, Im a cdma user.
ok, thank you very much, I post it here if I have some more questions
Ok, Since three days I have root with cwm on my phone, the next thing would be what rom is good? Want to flash a custom Rom but I like the original sense htc style and just want to overclock and have some more options in the menus...would be nice if someone could tell me

If your just getting the phone now, chances are its gonna have hboot 1.5. So you'd have to use the HTC method.

YA Hboot1.5 your stuck with HTC method use CWM for recovery alot of folks had issues with TWRP 2.0 not flashing right and dirty flashes.
Themes won't flash right along with other things.
Twrp 2.0 works perfectly for me. Only one version of clockwork will stick...so I use twrp, I like the touch based recovery. And I've had no issues making nands or restoring them. This coming from years of using clockwork. Just gotta adapt.

What exactly are the benefits of gaining s-off ??
I am confused...i have a gsm evo 3d and some tutorials are of s-off and others s-on ?
What will be the best... i am a newbie at this !
Click Thanks if i helped !!
With S-OFF you can flash PG86IMG.zip files from SD card in bootloader (ICS firmware, radio...), also you don't have to always flash boot.img via fastboot after flashing of new ROM.
Forgot I something?

To add to this, s-on seems to not play well with ics. Most of the issues people have with ics not working right or bootlooping come from s-on users. I highly recommend s-off if possible.

Yeah, you should definitely go with the tutorials for S-OFF if you are flashing new Roms, and expertimenting with your phone. For the most ICS roms, you have to flash new firmware packages (PG86IMG.zip), and you can do this if you are S-OFF.
It means if i have s-on i can't flash every rom but if i gain s-off it allows full compatibilty?
Am i right ?

I would say go with S-off. I had S-on and it took so much work to get new roms and it was just a pain in the butt. I am now running revolutionary S-off and am using 4ext recovery so i can easily put on new roms in just a few mins. I hope i helped.
Ah crap i just reported this thread for posting warez by goddamn mistake!
My bad
Keeping on topic: I'd say definitely S-off and there is loads of threads on how to do it. Just have a read through them all and try it out, ask for help if you need it and someone is bound to help

But 4ext recovery is available on s-on !
S off makes it easier to flash roms along with any kernel . Best route to go.

I have two EVO 3d's one is s-on and the other is s-off, both running 4ext touch recovery and both have the same experiance and the same battery life, no extra steps needed to flash roms or kernels..only thing is that only signed packages can be flashed through the bootloader, other than that...no difference.
S off is a life saver. It just is. No matter what HTC does if a dev can get s off for my device. I'm doing it.

Hi can u help me? I have HTC EVO 3d gsm ,its unlocked but s on..I want to install viper3d Rom.. but do I have to get s off first if I'm using 4ext recovery?
Viper and S-on/off
No viper should work with s-on, you might have to flash the boot.img in fastbootusb to get wifi and or radio to work
I am s-on hboot 1.53.0007 and havent had any problems with Viper, worked like a charm without the need to fastboot, just activated smartflash in 4ext tools. Only thing I have to take in account is that on my hboot cm, aokp, etc do not work, only sense bases and apparently miui

You need to get your phone S-OFF my man, it's quite simple. It seems like it's a complicating process but the process is just, going back to stock by flashing latest RUU for your carrier, running the ControlBear.exe, waiting for it to tell you to do the wire trick, and just doing it. You might mess it up, I know I did. Might take you 1 time, might take you 5, might take you 19 (in my case), but all in all, you're most likely going to get it. And it's 100% worth it.

You also need to do the htcdev.com bootloader unlock after flashing the RUU. That step is kind of important.
ramjet73
I know guys, but flashing the ruu failed in my case every time, even though i am 100% sure it was the correct ruu. Also, wire trick requires 32bit operating system and i have win 7 64bit, and i have waaay too much sensitive data on my laptop to afford bothering with an os reinstall just for this, to be honest. Ok, this means no JB and no roms other than sense, but I am rather ok with that. Maybe one day I will, but right now i feel too lazy to install new os, set it up, flash ruu, reunlock, reroot, s-off and then reinstall 64bit os again so i can continue my work as i should...

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

►►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
