HTC and S-OFF Petition - HTC EVO 3D

Just thought I'd post the link here since i own the One X and Evo 3D.
Follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657241

Signed. God what they do is annoying. Time to modify my signature.
EDIT: Dear lord, that is a ton of signatures. How many do you have total?

Looks like there are over 200. Hopefully HTC Listen for once! My E3D is S-OFF and my One X is rooted but its difficult to turn S-OFF. I have to manually flash boot.img which is annoying. Back on stock awaiting the Jellybean OTA

signed it

I think my Evo3D will be the last HTC phone i buy for a long time. To many annoying things (S-On security, bad support, build in batteries, no SD slot). If HTC goes on this way they will loose their last custumers.

Jay that's so funny. Why be a smart ass when someone asks a question even if its been asked or answered a million times. It's really uncalled for.
Evo 3D in full Affect
I'd say probably not, since the HTC root is all you need.

Hopefully...this way ua can hook u up with some friggen themes already lol .....but I personally haven't heard anything announce by them guys lately. Also I hear the HTC UNLOCK ie all that bad. Besides them keeping track of it of course. Yeah I know, I'm not helping.

I don't see what motivation they would have since HTC already provides an unlock method.

No. HtcDev ONLY. Ever. Or don't root it.
Those be the options set before you.
One more thing I would like to see some light shed on is .....if we use HTC's unlock method it basically voids your warrenty......but if your phone is lost or damaged will it affect a claim through asurion....our TEP...........
what do you guys think???

This is what I did to root 1.5 its still s-on but you can flash anything....

See i think it voids your warranty with HTC themselves but because you pay for the TEP your all good. I don't think HTC informs Sprint who is eligible and who isn't. But plenty of people here that used HTC's method has gotten a replaces thru asurion. I know that much
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I just had my EVO 4G replaced under warranty for a charging issue. Clearly rooted, the sprint tech turned my phone on & said "what in the hell!?" I had a CM7 based, ICS themed ROM on there. Still got replaced. He said i would have to pay to have my phone repaired if it ever needed that because it was rooted.
Guys as far as i noe no root for hboot 1.50 .......wait for ICS update

You can flash any rom or kernel with HTC unlock
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
My concern with the HTC unlock method is that it is one more thing to fix later. It permanently shows the phone was rooted. So, if someone comes along and gets the root working again then what? Suppose next week they say, hey we got Unrevoked to work on the Evo 3d again but if you previously used the HTC method your screwed still.

New OS will most likely have a new HBoot which will relock any one who HTC unlocked in the first place... Crushing root and melting the phone... Causing the world to end by skynet and last but not least zombies................................
There will be a way to get around it... It takes time.... You obviously have forgotten this isn't anyone's job to unlock your phone properly . You bought it knowing it may have 1.5 or got it from insurance... It's the name of the game..... HURRY UP AND WAIT

If you guys read the latest method to unlock 1.5 it isn't all that bad, specially with the in OS application that was built. The warranty void is rubbish, it means nothing to anyone here, and yes you will have s on but everything you can do with s off, you can do with the unlock method.

Yeah when I did it after updating (1.5) accidentally it was not so bad. I mean I have to install with terminal on my computer but its not a bad way. Just 2 lines of typing to launch recovery. If there is a fix cool but if not I can live without it. Cheers.

Root or non root?

I am trying to decide if rooting my phone is a good idea. Just bought it, but the stock rom seems too eat my battery. Is there a good reason to root this phone?
Will enhance my battery life?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
Yes and no. Depends on which ROM and kernel you install. Added to that, modification of your phone habits and screen brightness will increase your phone's battery life tremendously.
Hmm well I have reduced everything to minimum, so I can have more time out of the battery. I am hopeing that it will last longer after a week or two of use. I have a rooted HUAWEI x5 and there I gained more by rooting it. I was wondering if I could gain the same on this one.

You better believe you can! Root away brother, and never look back. :-D

There's a bunch in the development section to try out. Personally, I really like warm since it has some of my friends from the hero days in it.
But you know how rooting goes. Nandroid and get to flashing!
Haha yes I know
I will have a look into it :-D but this time I will use more than 10 minutes to decide ;-) first phone got rooted 10 minutes after I bought it
Got side tracked
Did they ever get the dsniff up and running?
Haha I have to stick my head into that again, because having on it my phone would just be awesome ;-)
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
Root it! Root it! Root it!
Blackened Rom + chads kernel + juice defender = great batt life. Also by rooting phones u can undervolt and change to low freqs when screen is off which saves a lot of battery.

Dsniff is a packet sniffer that allows you to capture network traffic. Combined with a few other tools you might get wep keys etc.
Okey blackened rom and kernel.
One thing, how do I get a decent backup of the shipped rom? What app can be used?

Experience with EVO 3D

Not trying to brag or anything, but when I see reviews for this phone I see people saying it gives random reboots, locks up, crashes, overheating, and that It's just so problematic..however I never witnessed any of that, my phone never froze once on me and never had any problems like that. I've had this phone for about a month and a couple weeks and no issues
Yeah. Not every phone is built the same. I've had mine since day one. Still runs like a champ.
Don't know what all the fuss is about it's an excellent phone in fact I couldn't be happier
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Hmm Unless you don't follow proper procedures with flashing roms and kernels there shouldn't by any instability.
Also make sure u follow the devs suggestions for specific kernels and mods
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Been using this since it launched in the UK. No problems whatsoever. My phones running default, had nothing done to it and It's smooth as butter.
The happy users won't complain or sing praises on forums much as we are satisfied with our product, while those that aren't happy will make themselves heard everywhere.
The only issue I have had is w/the touch screen freezing during calls --- although since I went on a flashoholic binge over the past week jumping between Sense based ROMs, CM7, CM9, and MIUI it seems to have fixed itself. I haven't had any issues all week.
All in all, I love it! Couldn't be happier!
I only really have four problems with this phone.
1 - The battery cover doesn't go on tightly in the top left corner.
2 - There is some dust under the screen.
3 - the phone gets quite hot under use occasionally.
4 - Having a PG86100.zip on the SD card makes it so that you can't boot to recovery through bootloader. Sure, it's easy to just remove it, but sometimes I forget to delete it and experiment too much. When I need to get into recovery in those cases, I can't because of the zip file. On my OG Evo if I didn't want to install the file, I could just say no and then tell the phone not to reboot. With this phone, if I say no, I HAVE to reboot.

Great phone, like it alot, also got an Sensation XE but I prefer my Evo 3D, don't know why, it's magic for me.
It gets very warm next to the camera(s) when I play graphics intensive games and the default music player is cruel, but I got PowerAmp and all in all I'm verry satisfied. Seriously, now the 3D-features aren't used for many times...but it's great to amaze people!
Here in Germany it's just 269€, means ca. 350$, cheap for the given value.
Yep, I never have any stability issues either, stock or rooted. This thing is a very stable beast!
I bought this phone on the release day for my dad's birthday. He had so many problems he had to get a replacement. I swear one day he was doing something on it and out of nowhere he had a reboot. He said it would happen all the time. I took possession of this phone about six weeks ago and have had not one problem at all. Maybe it didn't like him. But overall, this phone is awesome. Wouldn't give it up for anything in the world.

Bootloader unlock :(

We apologize for the issues you have experienced with the bootloader unlock for your HTC Evo 3D. HTC is aware that some individuals have been having difficulty with the unlock process and is current investigating the issue. At this time, we do not have an estimated time for a resolution.

I just want to flash Roms freely as I did on my EVO. This crap sucks..I don't understand why they had to screw with it..so now its a 12 step process to root..
They are trying to make it so that it cannot be downrev'd.
Is this the file that needs changed? Add a zero on the first and ones on the last two?

The reason they made things like that to root was to keep the folks who don't know enough about it from doing it... They get tired of warranty claims when someone bricks a phone because the user had no idea what they are doing.. Same goes for people who overclock and push it too high and burn the cpu up...

That seems like a whole lot of hassle just to prevent a small fraction of it's user base from fully utilizing their phones.
I'm confident that we only take up a small portions of claims in their warranty department. Maybe they should put more effort into making a phone that keeps up with the competition and lasts.

I am wanting to know what u think of this phone, also my incredible is getting a little slow and this one is said to have more ram and better CPU. Does its GPS work good I am finding my inc is not working right there, also will this be getting cm10.1 like my inc has?

the only difference is the CPU stepping, a smidge bigger battery (which will last the same time for the bigger screen), a bigger screen.
Although the CPU is a S2 there really is no difference in the two. GPS does go out on some Thunderbolt's. CM10.1 is JB; I and a couple
more devs are working on it right now, though CM9 isn't even fully working. which is ICS. If you have S-OFF AND full root then you will
have great fun with it. The Thunderbolt won't disappoint... I have played with both and they are just as fast... I say go for it!
oh with dual 3G radios you cannot go wrong :b
Also what do u think about the rezound I can get one of those for under 130$ is it better ?

I say dont get the tb. Its old outdated and runs hot enough to keep your pocket warm on a cold day. If u look around a bit more a 100 bucks will take you a bit farther then the tb. Being as it was the first real 4g phone it has quite a few issues. Data stalls being a major flaw in the device. I had 4 in my house hold. And htc chased me right over to samsung.

even over-clocked and using it for constant radio (BT) streaming it never got warm on me.
I was running ICS Bliss on it... which isn't released yet but hey....
I had the bolt and it never ran hot unless I was charging it and running tethering at the same time. if the phone was running hot all the time you either had the governor set to performance or you had a bad battery. I have the rezound now and loads better over the bolt. so get that over the bolt you won't be sorry. the only thing the bolt had over the rezoind was it was so easy to unlock and get s off. even with the latest boot loader update the bolt got its still easier. with the resound to get s off you have to do the wire trick.
you can look on swappa for phones as many people buys them on there.

I had a thunderbolt before getting a S3 and there are times I miss the bolt. I had great luck with each ROM (SOAB, Thunder Shed, and Santod's ICS Eternity. Heck, I would have loved trying his new Bliss ROM. If you decide you want a bolt and I can figure out how to clear mine I can sell you it with an OEM and Rezound battery, a couple of cases (including a PowerSkin case) for $100. I have been hanging on to it in case a developer needed it, so no worries if you would prefer the Rezound.
