Hello all, I have been searching of a way to root the htc evo 3d on 4.0.3 cdma but I cant seem to find the right thread. I dont know if there is a video or not but I would really appreciate someone helping me out. I am new to htc as well as sprint and the evo 3d thread is so unorganized that its not even funny. NO Flaming, No Sarcasm, and especially no (no it all) that just goes thread to thread trolling, I just want a straight answer Please.
1) Unlock bootloader using htcdev.com
2) Flash a custom recovery (preferably 4EXT)
3) Flash a rooted stock rom (virus has one posted somewhere)
4) Get s-off using the juopunutbear wiretrick method
That's a basic rundown of what you should do, hopefully that should help get you going

Hey ameedi, Did you try out that method for rooting your phone, and was your phone fully stock with (hboot 1.58/version 2.89) or did u do some thing to it before you rooted it with that method? Plz respond back thanks

Just got my Evo 3D in the mail and was wondering if using the HTC unlock method gives me root or if there is another step to follow.

Thank you for the response. I guess I didn't word my question right or I'm just too dull to see the answer. I was wondering if just to get root if I had to flash the twrp recovery and everything else. I'm sorry if I'm wasting everyone's time with stupid questions.
Yep, and be prepared it will erase everything. Just did it myself but never better. Rooting is worth it, at least to me.
This is why I haven't done the htc way.
Don't want to erase anything

What do you mean "erases everything"? It hard resets the rom to factory defaults when you use the htc method? Mine is coming to me in the mail and I assume odds of getting Hboot 1.5 at this point are very high.

HTC method is like a hard reset.

I need to root a 3D on my account but i'm at a loss. Had the original Evo and never rooted it since I only had it for a month b4 I went with the Epic. I rooted both Epic's with no problem it was mad easy. However I don't know if its me but the Evo process seems like its more complicated from what I'm reading. Or maybe it's just the fact I don't have the 3D in my hand at the moment. My thing is what is hboot and how do I check what version I am on? I don't even know what s-off is either smh lol. Is there a link with maybe easy steps to follow? PS flame away if ya need too i'm a Samsung boy so I know i'm a lil slow on the Evo..

Just go on the dev section in the "stickies" thread and there are multiple threads on how to root and answer all your questions. when you get you phone, to find out what hboot turn off, hold power and down button. since it is a new phone more than likely it will be hboot 1.5.

Ok thanks I guess I'll do that. I did search the Android development section but this app don't show the stickies.. I'll check it from a PC instead when I get a min.

I have found myself skipping over threads that have 1.5 in the title, pop up dialog, or short thread summary in the app.
Does any one else do this? Wish it wasn't this way.

Deleted. Because my response was just as useful as the threads mentioned...
I just got the EVO 3D a few days ago, but as a themer this is in no way my first go around with gaining root access on a phone/and unlocking the bootloader.
When I came into these threads I had no experience with having to use HTC's (Stupid) unlock tool.
but I went to the roll up sticky thread on here found a guide to make sure I knew I was doing...
asked one little question on IRC I didn't see discussed on the threads , and I was done rooting and had flashed MeanROM in Total time: about an hour
I think if people would just learn to try and read and figure things out, instead of posting a thread about every little question and waiting for a reply they'd get done much sooner.
The guide to unlock the 3vo's bootloader was very easy compared to other devices I have used,
Tl;dr: noobs will be noobs.
It's not as easy for some where the HTC unlock doesn't even work. While others should just read the damn instructions and pray it works, it doesn't always work. It worked for me, but on my friends 3D I can't figure out for the life of me why the unlock will not work. I've tried just about everything. He has software version 2.17 which will not accept a 2.08 RUU and everything else I've tried fails on the last command to unlock the phone.

That's the last thing I haven't tried that I'm doing tomorrow. I had trouble finding a working download link for a stock 2.17 RUU. If that doesn't work, I'm completely out of ideas.

I just ignore any threads with "MIUI" in the title, 1.5 hboot not so much
I'm on 1.5 and actually look for those threads when I'm logged in. But I do see waaayy too many of them for people to be trying to look around.
Unfortunately it seems like many of the useful "stickies" haven't been updated/clarified in a while (imo) and are creating some of the confusion. I've asked in some of those threads for the op to update the links etc (ruu's, Su, recovery, Hboot 1.5, adb/fastboot cmds) and haven't seen a reply.
I ended up creating a thread to help with this until/if the others get updated:

HTC dev is flash friendly. So is regaw one click program that you can find in the development forum. Lazypanda s-off is the only known program that causes bricked devices....oh and if you don't have a clue what you're doing. Read read read its your best friend

wow thanks man i really didnt think i would get a sincere response here...everyone around here seems a little stuck up and entitled, kinda like the old hero days
of course the best way to not brick is to do your reading, but if you had the epic touch you would know all the reading in the world couldnt save you...no brick warnings in the OP aside, people were bricking just by factory resetting YUCK!!
glad i got the htc evo lte and glad that its harder to bricl, just wish the community here was a little bit more warm ya kno
Haha its probably the side of bed they woke up on. Believe me, this is a great community filled with informative and and helpful individuals. But when you begin to talk about a phone that isn't the LTE (specifically samsung)
People become a bit irritated. Aha or so it seems.. just read a bit cz samsung and HTC are different regarding flashing and techniques on unlocking. Goodluck and enjoy

A question to a question.
What is your end result? What are you aiming to do? Where does your device stand now?
I ask because it makes it easier to answer your question.
Picked up my 4glte today at lunch and by the time i left work i had root, s-off, unlocked bootloader, and recovery. I am more than happy to help where i can.

THIS^^^^^^^^^^
That whole recovery thing on the epic is the reason I despise the Samsung phones and the New kernal and modems every week with no change at all. There's only a few ways for ur phone to get bricked here. Experimental roms/mods (unlikely) or a simple bad flash (not likely either as recovery just says failed and u can flash something else)

I also had my elte rooted and rom'ed within the hour I was looking for some general tips, tricks, best behavior and routines when dealing with the elte to avoid issues...knowing only way to brick is purely poor judgment or possibly a bad download is comforting.
Alllllllll this thread was for was to collect data to compare to other devices which have had issues bricking or getting ruined by easily doing something small or specific
Hey guys, I just rooted my 4gLTE last night as well as unlocked the bootloader using this method: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/
However, I noticed I still have s-on, so I dug around and found this LazyPanda found here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737123
so will doing that LazyPanda thing mess anything up for me? And what is the main difference if so? I just want to be able to root, maybe some ROM's after they evolve a little and Mobile hotspot. Please, anyone, shed some light on this for me. Thanks so much
