I have to admit that I'm a little confused. I'm just about to meet a guy to trade my current phone for the 3D.
Some of the things I'm reading lead me to believe that unlocking with the HTC method, rooting,etc will NOT let me run ICS once it's released.
If I get a phone on 1.50 today and unlock and then root using the posted methods, does that keep me from being able to run ICS ever?
If no, why wouldn't I want to use the HTC method?
As an aside, will wi-fi tether work with 4G if I run wifi tether?
Please help!

You will be ok. If your cell comes with 1.5 you can still root using htc method and you will be able to have ics and will be able to tether as well.

The method for flashing ROMs with the hboot 1.50 is that you flash it differently (through fastboot) though there are many guides out now that make it even more simpler. Anyway, the guides out now make rooting and flashing a piece of cake so don't worry.
1.50 S-ON = no worries, one more step, all good
Thanks Guys. I'm freaked out but am going to give it a try. After having a Photon and an Epic Touch, I'm so glad I have my 3D back, even on 1.50 bootloader. I missed this phone.
unlock coming soon
hboot 1.5 will be unlocked soon. and all is good with having s on unlock from htc. just another step!
Idk I'm not getting my hopes up on the new 1.5 hb unlock. You can flash roms in recovery the kernel won't flash tho. Fortunately this is android so there's an app for that.

PLEASE HELP ME!! I have the EVO LTE I rooted it on day 1 May 24 HOWEVER our Google wallet app has not been working so we got our Android 4.0.3 update. NOW I did the 1 click UN-INSTALL root then updated my phone from android 4.0 ICS to the android 4.0.3 now I tried RE-ROOTING the phone but it is NOT letting me. It does the reboot and everything but the root is UNSUCCESSFUL. I am extracting the correct HTC_EVO_4G_LTE root file and everything. Is there a DIFFERENT root file and link now because of this android 4.0.3 software & 1.22.651.3 firmware upgrade??
Did you take the OTA or did you use the modified firmware and software?

What modified firmware and software?? I did the OTA update that came 2 my phone. I want my root back
I recently tried rooting the phone with the new OTA, it's just going to fail since the HBoot updated. I also tried to do the RUU to go back and that failed as well. We just have to wait now.
You never accept an OTA while rooted or if you ever plan on rooting. Those are just the facts.
You have to wait until the developers find a fix now.

I was able to root my phone using this but I'm still S-ON but rooted....only reason why I'm all screwed up b/c I saw all the warnings for resetting google wallet, and on my stock LTE the Wallet didn't work at all, so I'm thinking I have to get it to work or im screwed, so I updated it like an asshole...so now i'm in the same boat as many...I got my phone rooted, I got S-ON, and I'm waiting for someone to come out w/ a method soon b4 my impatience turns my phone into a brick
Oh I know the rules of updating but I got the phone and the rep gave me the phone updated without me knowing. I got the phone late bc I was deciding on the Evo or SGSIII
your going to have to wait until someone comes up with a exploit to root that firmware..
Awww daaaammmnnn!!! I effed up!! I was planning on doin the MEAN ROM so the google wallet would work so I uninstalled the root, did the S-off, was planning on doin the TRWP recovery, re-install the root then do the ROM but when I did the 1click unroot the OTA update came thru n Im like oh its not jelly bean so it'll b jus fine smh. So with tht nu root thts y I wasnt even getnbthe OTA update 4bthe google wallets firmware

You are not completely out of luck. You can still unlock your bootloader via htcdev, and root. With the new bootloader you won't be able to flash radios, splash screens, or kernels through the recovery. I think its possible to flash kernels with extra steps like what was involved with hboot 1.5 on the Evo 3D.

Thankfully, with HTC Dev, we'll pretty much always have the option of rooting regardless of update.
Yes, but I believe with the new hboot 1.15 there's no more flashing kernals, radios, or splash screens........ouch

the only thing u cant do if u took the update is u cant get s-off at this time.. u can still use all the other root tools... :good:

Radios and splash screens.. oh well. Not a big deal.
And kernels.. well, my views on kernels aren't popular so I will keep them to myself.
I really dont care to have S-OFF. I just want root access for tethering. I had the Old Evo 4G and I spent hours and days flashing roms and it was addictive! I just dont want to teak this LTE. To me ICS is working fine and I dont want to be hooked again of flashing, Nand backups and such.
I just want a safe way to re gain root, for Tethering. again I dont care about Bootloader or S-OFF.
Any input will be appreciated.
I made a topic on why you root and it got closed.. same reasoning I'm hearing about is why I wanted people to fully be aware this isn't the evo og and rooting could be bad this time

Question guys, you can use HTC Dev for the Evo but you won't get S-OFF, what does that mean.
Can I still flash Radios, Modems, and can I tweak with msl reader like the old EVO.
Also has anyone found a root method post Google Wallet Update from July 11th. I decided to update because I was not rooted yet, but now I want to root.
Aw man, I'm a new member at xda, just got on the forums when I got my EVO LTE. I've been trying to lurk and read up but unfortunately never came across somebody saying I shouldn't accept OTAs... I was gonna wait until cm9 or aokp got a bit more stable to root and flash. What have I lost the ability to do by accepting this update?
Edit: nevermind, looks like I'll have to wait until root methods are updated, and possibly wait for another s-off exploit if if comes. Can't flash radios or kernels... Damn...

I'd imagine that it won't be long before someone comes out with an updated root method. Be patient, read and ask questions in the meantime.
If you are S-ON and rooted then you update with the new OTA can you still root the phone again?
I was rooted only and accepted the update. No longer have root access. I saved w voodoo root keeper, but it couldn't restore root after update. Figured that would happen just wanted to try it.
Also after the update, my clock speed only throttles down to 1ghz. Anyone else noticing this? Talk about a battery killer!
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Edit: Scratch that 1ghz thing. Think maybe my widget was freaking out. Seems to be fine now. I was pissed at first too!
First rule of XDA is you don't accept OTA updates for any reason.
Just my 2 cents...I made the mistake with my OG EVO and had to wait for unrEVOked to be updated.

Is it possible to use someone else backup 1.31 the previous build when being rooted. I want revert back to the previous build. I'm on the latest update. The reason why i ask this is I want to go back to stock using Ruu.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Here man....it's a super quick process. Just copied and pasted from another thread....
I took the OTA and I'm rooted again.... It's not even that difficult.
I wanted google wallet and I wanted it bad! So I ran thru the hastle of hacking Google wallet so I could get into settings and clear it. Then HTC re-locked my phone. Ran the RUU, then accepted the OTA.
After you've updated...
Run the HTC unlock. Instructions at HTCdev website.
Then flash TWRP (I used adb fastboot method):
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/98
Once that's installed you can flash supersu via this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1538053
Find: CWM installable ZIP in the OPs sig block (it works fine with TWRP on 1.22 software)
From there I just installed busybox (by Stepen) via the market. Grabbed Titanium Backup, and here I am. Rooted phone with 1.22 stock ROM.
Not all of the old mods work anymore though. My favorite, which was the battery mods, don't work. They don't even come close to working, so make sure you nandroid backup before you start tinkering..

Nothing is out yet, but I am sure that the Dev's are working on it. :good:
It's crazy the amount of people that took the OTA update and were rooted. No offence to the OP, just seeing this ? Popping up all over the forum . It really is madness taking the update if your concerned about root.
Hope all works out for you man

I received similar advice from a forum moderator, and as soon as I have time and the ability to singularly focus on the process, I will give this a try.
However, I think a lot of us want the one-step method for rooting the LTE with the new OTA installed. For those of us new to the process and negative results, we chalked this up as one of the infamous "lessons learned."
Thanks!

If you accepted the ota update, then you can still unlock through HTC dev and still flash roms. But with the update, cannot obtain s-off.

HTc DEV unlock = root for all practical purposes. You just slap on Twrp and flash a rooted ROM.
However, since you accepted the OTA you are now severly limited even with an unlocked bootloader. See the first part of my post.
I actually wasn't rooted or unlocked when i took the ota. I was happy with the speed of the new evo so i didn't think i would need to overclock it like every other device i owned thus no need to root. I took the ota cuz i had major issues with my wifi and that's a huge deal to me since 3g blows so bad in my area that my browser times out..... long story. Sorry. Now i just want to customize. So sorry if this is a repetitive question, but can i use adb shell to flash a rom? If so, does anybody have a step by step? I've always just used clockwork mod in the past so i am new to adb.
Recap:
have the OTA
not rooted
HTC DEV unlocked.

Sounds like regawmod, you need to reboot manually as aoo as it says rebooting. It would probably be easier to unlock manually.a lot of people seem to have trouble. It will probably be updated soon but its been a problem for the last two updates.
