I've had my evo for a couple of days now, and I made a rookie mistake. In the excitement over my new phone, I accepted an update. I realized what I did as soon as I did it. From what I've seen, it looks like I can't unlock my bootloader for now, but I was wondering if I can still root. For using root apps, overclocking, etc. any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You can still unlock the bootloader and flash ROMs, the only difference is that the kernel must be flashed separately. Check the regawmod thread for a one click utility to unlock and root
You can still root, check out this thread. Good luck.

And as long as htc_vision follows through it will likely have an unlocked bootloader.

Hopefully UNREVOKED will come out with a method. They haven't mentioned anything on Twitter yet. Those dudes will come through. I've been rooted through unrevoked, and flashed hundreds and hundreds of roms, kernels, mods, etc and haven't had one issue since day 1, almost 1yr ago.

I hope so too. Their one click root program for the EVO was amazing. So easy and worked perfect. Hope they do the same for the 3D.
From what I'm reading on androidforums.com the EVO 3D should have an unlocked bootloader.

Basically what the topic says, how do you flash things to the phone after using the HTC unlock method unfortunately my phone came with 1.5 and I'm new to how the HTC's recovery and all works

thanks man, sorry i never responded but it helped
Hey guys, I'm not new to Android but I recently got an evo 3d for cheap. Apparently it was unlocked with htcdev. Its for sprint cdma. Anyways, I was trying to install ICS and for some stupid reason I wiped everything then locked the bootloader. I know even I'm ashamed of myself lol! Any way to unlock HBoot 1.50 with fast boot or at least install a ROM? Any help would be appreciated!
I only have access to the locked bootloader and fast boot btw.
Edit: Flashing an old gingerbread stock ruu via fastboot solved my problem

You should never able to unlock it again with HTC dev and then do the wire trick to get s-off.

I did but htcdev doesn't recognize it for some reason. Their instructions required a booted ROM right? I'll try again lol Thanks for the response!

No luck. Downloaded HTC sync and reinstalling drivers etc. But its recognized in fastboot so I doubt that's the problem.

It said it ran fine but the bootloader is still locked and I'm still stuck.

I originally bought this phone when it first dropped and was able to unlock my bootloader and root my device but i went back to my SIII for a while and gave this one to my girlfriend (huge mistake). I unrooted and relocked the bootloader before giving her the device, of course when the ota's popped up she took it and installed it. I just got the phone back yesterday and it actually looks like the newest ota has also been pushed and installed to the phone. My question is (which is probably a no) since i have rooted and unlocked before can i do it again or am i screwed waiting for a method? Ive spent a better half of my morning searching these threads for an answer but had no luck so im sorry if this has been asked a million times.
Thanks in advance.
Since you already have your unlock token you can unlock like you did the first time.
Really? So I can unlock and root no problem?

hey guys, I am somewhat new to rooting. I have rooted the strat, but that was useless as I'm sure you all know. I am trying to root my thunderbolt using the all-in-one tool but when it tries to reboot into recovery, it shows "!" inside a triangle. can anyone help me here?
Do you have ICS or Gingerbread

?? 4.0.4 not sure which one that is
Its ICS, if you go to Santods forum. Infectedrom.com you can find the way there but there's more to it than the all in one. Its a little harder but not much. You do have to make an account to view the forums though, but that's not really a hindrance.

you need to unlock your bootloader before anything, you can do that at htcdev.com
Thanks!! Excellent referral! Just wish I could find a simple link like that for roms...lol
