Hello,
I have a few questions:
To unlock bootloader and root the inc4g I need to use:
1) Team fireballas FakeCid AUTOMATIC bootloader unlock (I'm going to use the script...need windows, yuck.)
2) Follow Quick how-to temproot (written by captainrewind), dl Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v16
This should do it, yes? S-OFF etc...

Andypones,
Ahh okay. Will we need S-off in the future? So unlocking the bootloader gives you root? What is the point of #2? Lastly, are you a member of the unrevoked team?

I am not and never said I was a member of the unrevoked team, secondly unlimted.io is the team who might bring us S-OFF.
Thrid, S-OFF is never NEEDED.
it simply allows you more access to your phone..
fourth if you don't know what S-OFF is, you don't need it.
root is here, enjoy it
root is all we need, S-OFF hopefully will come, but I have nothing to do with that. If you have any questions for the unlimted.io team about s-off they asked me not to answer and to ask them.
sorry if any of this comes off rude I'm certainly not trying to be.

I'm thinking of getting a Evo 3D, but I've been Ify because of the Root/Recovery situation.
Anyways my question is...
Is it Possible yet to Fully Root the Evo 3D? And if so, is it also Possible to Install a Custom Recovery like ClockworkMod?
Thanx in Advance!

Root is available. Head to the development section to learn how to root and flash a recovery.
Appreciate my help? Thank me
you don't need to flash any of the ROMs if you dont like them. I would root in case HTC/sprint sends a forced update. Might as well right?

Come to the Dark Side lol..... We have full root & s-off. 2 Recovery's to choose from (clockwork & Team Win Recovery Project), kernels/overclocking, and modified stock roms popping up daily. Aosp is still a little ways out, but there's still plenty to do, while we wait.

Ok sounds Good to me... Thanx!
This is probably a super noob question, but I haven't quite gotten into the 3VO development scene yet. I keep hearing that the bootloader is yet to be unlocked, but people are talking about a permanent root already?
Can someone explain to me the difference between temp root and permanent root? I know the difference between temporary and permanent, but how does it apply to rooting your 3VO? Also, how does a locked boot loader affect us and why do we want it unlocked? Last thing, what is S-off? Thanks!

Permanent root means S-off and a few other things. People are talking about HTC when they speak of unlocking bootloaders. If you root your phone through AlphaREV, your phone will be permanently rooted.

Permanent root is only available via an unlocked bootloader, because of the write protection on the phone. Fortunately for the community a combined effort between Alpharev & Unrevoked, resulted in the bootloaders being unlocked Friday evening. While HTC did say that they would unlock the loaders, the "Revolution" tool is the reccomended way to proceed as there's no way to say what sort of stipulations HTC might incorporate. Check one of the many S-Off threads in the developement section or pm me if you need a more detailed answer.

Awesome, thanks guys! That's exactly what I wanted to know. So now I can go ahead and root my phone and wait for the next badass ROM (hopefully CM!) for this phone!
How do I achieve s-off? Can I revese HTC unlock method? Is there a thread or answer available? I'm not a complete noob at rooting but got excited and didn't read thoroughly before committing to the HTC process. Started sifting through threads and haven't discovered an answer yet... Please help
I've been trying to sift through them as well just out of curiosity. Here is what I have gleaned from all of the threads on this subject:
1) Unless you previously had s-off through revolutionary, the HTC method will not give you or currently allow you to get s-off
2) Although the HTC method does unlock the boot loader, other things are still locked preventing you from flashing a custom recovery.
3) Currently there is no way to root or get super user access once you've applied the HTC method
4) Currently there is no way to undo the HTC method.
Probably not what you wanted to hear but that is my understanding as it is currently. That doesn't mean that a Dev won't figure out how to allow you to do those things in the next few days or weeks. You'll just have to keep checking.
Thank you, maybe ill just "lose" my phone and get it replaced
I would wait a week or so. Someone will probably figure it out.
Try this thread. Apparently this version of CWM recovery will work with the 1.50 hboot.

I think if you search other threads you'll see that it only works if you have previously had s-off.

Looks like you can install recovery and Roms. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225974

There you go! That didn't take long at all. Now you don't have to "lose" your phone.
thank you
I really appreciate the info... I'll check it out tonight and let you all know how it goes. This is my absolute favorite forum bar none. By the way, I was being facetious when I made the statement about "losing" my phone... laugh every once in a while! I did when I basically noobed my own phone.
So Sprint just came out with an update. I rooted my phone but have not flashed any custom rom yet.
Can I run the update or do I need to wait to flash a rom with the update?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
you need to wait in case they patch the lazy panda exploit.
Once a dev has one that is prerooted they will post it up in the dev forum.
If you are using RootKeeper and have just root with stock ROM, can you apply the OTA update and then restore root with RootKeeper?
another noob question
I am getting confused on root vs. unlocked vs. s-off.
I used htc dev. to, I guess, unlock my phone (I thought this was rooting). I know I do NOT have s-off yet. I did read some post, a while ago, that talked unlocked and s-off (I think, I can't find that post anymore). I used the following to "Root" method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577 . It looks like that only unlocks your phone.
I want to install twrp and can't figure out what method I am suppose to use to install it. Goo Manager vs. fastboot method? It says if you are unlocked AND rooted you can use Goo Manager. If you are only unlocked then fastboot.
Can someone please help me to understand?
Thanks.

At this point, HTC dev unlock has all the same capabilities as s-off, so even if this ota blocks the lazy panda exploit, just go the HTC dev route.

No it doesn't. You don't have full nand write, which means no custom radios and no custom bootloader (such as getting rid of red text)
Thank you everyone! I now have s-off, and have twrp installed. I am ready to have fun now!
I've seen a few developers posting in this forum saying once root comes (and more users changing roms because of this) they'll port their rom to this phone.
Can we get a list of the devs that pledge to port their rom to this phone?

I think getting people to pledge anything rom wise is a bit extreme
Also, this probably belongs in general or q & a as its not development
If the bootloader is locked can we even install custom roms? I am rooted on dev edition but did not know how to unlock bootloader.

you are s-off, you don't need to worry about the bootloader, you are done, ready, etc.

Dev unlock doesn't give s-off if that's what he's talking about.

i think he has one on the factory s-off phones, and his bootloader says locked, i presume this is the situation.

Yep, he has S-OFF from the factory.
Is this possible? I just want to root and keep everything stock.

Yes, bit only with s-off

Is there a thread you could point to? or a link to a walk through. I've searched and can only find instructions for rooting with an unlocked bootloader.
