That explains it. You're holding it wrong.
Here are the steps:
1. Unlock using HTC dev.
2. Get s-off using wire trick.
3. Flash custom recovery.
4. Flash custom Rom.

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.

You don't necessarily need to use my OTA tutorial if you're gonna restore to complete stock GB, then you can just download the file via the software update option on your phone and let it install the update itself, the guy above answered your final question already.

, go for it then. If you're on tmobile, there's a file that can be used as a PH85IMG to update instead, that may be a bit easier if the OTA is iffy.
ok got the image...
For rooting ICS, do I still unlock the bootloader.. the whole process?
and thanks for all the help so far.

Yes unfortunately bc don't you need a recovery like cwm or 4ext to flash super user? Anyways you should s off. Makes everything super easy.

Does make it super easy, doesn't have to though, it's all upto him if he wants to. Lol at needing my approval, about time you started being confident in what you say dude, you've messed with your own device, you should know which was better for you in your opinion, your opinion matters since you did do it and you know the benefits personally.
Ok, I can give S-OFF another try.. but last time I tried and I was in this rom: "BulletProof 2.5" , it did not work.... so from experience of you guys, what rom have people been the most sucessful getting S-OFF??
You won't need s-off if you using the method I gave you

ok, ill think about the 2 options.. with S-OFF and with S-ON.
but as far as reverting to stock to then flash ICS, no instruction says I need to have my bootloader back locked... I do, right?

Relocked is the same and when attempting s-off, stock rooted rom is a better call, it saves you the hassle that custom roms may cause.
I mean the MD5 sums fail on both PHP8img w/e name... and the nand backup to restore to original ginger garbage.. so I think it's because I have to relock my bootloader by doing OEM_lock or whatever the command is.
do I have to lock bootloader to go back to stock?
and also.. do I need to flash the original kernel?
come on.. someone answer me please... I will make a REALLY good tutorial noob proof for everyone else when I finish doing this.

I was also having problems with my downloads so I downloaded thru my phone. I also found that I had better luck downloading straight from football's account on file factory. You can find his account on stock roms collection page 5 snargaflab post where it says "here"
Hope this helps, as far as locking bootloader when s on I think you do have to lock bootloader. If nobody is helping I suggest you try it out.

Lock your bootloader via the fastboot oem lock command or use hasoon's tool to do it,
download this file here: http://d-h.st/3VD
Place that on your sd card and rename it PH85IMG do not place it in any folders, etc.
Reboot into hboot via the volume down/power button method, when your hboot finds the file, hit volume up to update, phone will reboot on it's own. You're on ICS.
Unlock your bootloader, install 4ext recovery via hasoon's tool and hit the Perm root ICS/GB option, follow all on screen instructions.
All done, official ICS and you're now rooted as well.

: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

Your only option is to use the htcdev.com method. You cannot get s-off though.

Unlocking your bootloader using HTCDev Unlock will allow you to flash a custom recovery. With a custom recovery, obtaining root is easy (plenty of flashable ZIPs for this). This has nothing to do with your version of HBOOT (or firmware or OTA version).
Read the guide I linked to above and it will answer these questions...

Hi everyone,
First time poster here. Recently rooted my own HTC Amaze and thought I'd give veegsej some tips on what worked for me, so here we go
Honestly the best and easiest way to root your phone is to use Hasoon2000's HTC Amaze All-In-One Toolkit! Plug your phone into the computer and follow the onscreen instructions when you open the program.
After you've unlocked the bootloader (from the instructions given in the program), install a recovery- I suggest the first one on the list (4EXT). Under *Extras*, run perm root to push supersu.zip onto your phone. After all that, boot your phone into recovery mode and use 4EXT to find and install supersu.zip file. Once you do this, you'll be fully rooted and good to go!
*Extra tip*- in 4EXT I also recommend you turn on the *Smart Flash* option which will enable your phone to install/flash roms and all sorts of goodies in the future. :victory:
Hope this helps!
