HTCDEV method not working on my Evo 3D GSM - HTC EVO 3D

One month after i bought it, my ShooterU has got a MB replacement (RMA)
And now it's impossible for me to unlock bootloader with the htcdev method.
Is there another way to make it possible (Evo3d with stock ICS) ?
Thank you for helping me, i'm furious with it.

HTCDev unlock method doesn't work on phones with replaced motherboards. You're out of luck, sorry.

Can't you use juopunutbear and do the wire trick?

I think it's a good idea to try the juopunutbear, but i need to have temp root at least.
And all temp root i find are made for Gingerbread.
Does anyone know a temp root method for ICS ?
Thank you

Questions and non-development related should be posted in the appropriate sections. This thread is not dev related, so I'm moving it.

So there isn't another method to unlock my bootloader ? Htcdev is the only way to do this ? What does it mean ?
My evo 3d is unrootable ? The bootloader still be blocked forever ?
Please help me not to sell it ! Thank you

Unless Unlimited.io releases a version of controlbear that works on just temp root, nothing can be done.
Such a method already exists for the HTC Sensation.

I don't believe there's a temp root technique that works on the Evo 3D anyway, but if you know of one some users here have been looking for it for other reasons, especially one that works with ICS.
The Evo 3D is definitely not the same phone as the Sensation and has different capabilities and limitations.

I agree. Only speculating.
Doesn't TPSparkyRoot work?
Try this:
To root:
Code:
adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp.orig"
adb shell "mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.orig"
adb shell "rmdir /data/local/tmp"
adb shell "ln -s /data /data/local/tmp"
adb shell "rm /data/local.prop"
adb shell "chmod 777 /data/local/"
adb shell "echo ro.kernel.qemu=1 > /data/local/local.prop"
adb reboot
adb shell "chmod 777 /data/local/local.prop"
adb shell "mv /data/local/local.prop /data/local.prop"
adb reboot
It's okay if the "adb shell rm" or "adb shell rmdir" commands fail.
To unroot:
Code:
adb shell "rm /data/local.prop"
adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp"
adb shell "mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp"

Never heard of that for the Evo 3D. If you can post a link I'll give it a try if it's compatible with the CDMA Evo 3D. Mostly people are looking for it so they can backup a stock unrooted ROM with Titanium Backup before they root and S-OFF.

Instructions are above. But it needs to be tried on LOCKED S-ON E3D.
Temp root is unstable, the only thing you can see on the phone is the statusbar.
You can't use the phone till temproot is removed, only use adb commands.
You can probably adb pull /data & restore it later.

I'm out of thanks right now, but appreciate your posting that.
Being S-OFF already via JuopunutBear I'm not as anxious to try it since it requires going back to S-ON, but maybe someone who is currently S-ON on an Evo 3D would be willing to test. I'm assuming that it shouldn't matter if the phone is a GSM or CDMA model based on the commands above.

Yes, that's right, it doesn't matter.
That is basically the TPSparkyRoot exploit, but I've modified it slightly.
Hope it does work.
If it doesn't, whoever tries it, please post the error message.

1) adb access required. Hence, charging mode with USB Debugging enabled.
2) You cannot permanently root without an unlocked bootloader or S-OFF.

Very little. You can probably make backup of your data.
You can get root access via adb shell. But what you can do is limited.
The most this will establish is whether or not the E3D can be temprooted or not.

Could he push an "su" binary to the system partition while he has temp root?
