Hi Guys,
I just got my EVO 3d Today. Am really excited needless to say.
Ive managed to unlock the boot loader using the official HTC Bootloader unlock tool(Since my software version was 1.20). Now it says unlocked but still has "S ON". Been going crazy for hours now trying to root it. Even tried going into recovery but just get an error symbol.
Would appericiate if anyone can tell me how to go about it or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

easiest way to fix it is to download the stock root 2.3.3 in the devolpement thread and it will give u root after u flash it mape sure u data/wipe and dalvik wipe its in advanced if u need anymore help just pm me
edit: if it still says s-on the go to development thread got to rom guides and use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root its really easy to do

Thanks for the input. The problem is that i can't go into recovery. Every time i try i get a Red Triangle with an !.
I have ONLY used the HTC Dev unlock method and nothing else. Do i need to do/install something more in order to go into recovery?
Just use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root it would be your best bet now i was helping a friend do it the other day and he. Messed but i have a fix if after u do it u get s-off but not root if u need me to help u will going through doing I can but u will have to wait a few hour I am about to go to. Bed u can pm me or hit me up on g+ because my link is in my signature
I shot the maid! What can I say? 3vo shooter
Oh and i can't use revolution because my software number is 1.20.401.2 (When i click on check for updates it says device is up to date) and revolution is only compatible with 1.30.0000 and 1.40.0000
Are u on 2.3.4 or is ur 3vo a gsm phone?

Totally lost here.
Umm... you need to flash a recovery through fast boot...the red triangle means you don't have one... also if you are unlocked push su through adb and you should have root. I never used HTC official unlock but have rooted several phones... after you unlock the bootloader you push su and flash a recovery

from my understanding, once you use the htc unlock method you can't get s-off for now, until theres an exploit found. I followed a vid on htcevohacks.com and got mine rooted using 2.3.4 but I stil have s-on... not sure if it even matters because i can still go into recovery and flash roms.

Unfortunately its for software number 2.08.651.2 and above. Im on 1.20.401.2. Even when i click on check for updates it says device is up to date.
So basically this method can't work for me .
Guys issue resolved. Even though my device was initially unlocked using HTC Official unlock method i just ran revolution, followed the steps and now I'm unlocked AND rooted by revolution. Just wanted to share that.
Thanks for all the help people.

Anyone know of any gsm Roms other than virtuous shooter? Or is there a way to get back to the stock gsm rom?
Thanks
Would this be the right procedure? I was reading the wiki and want to ask..
I would do the following...
(I am rooted; BulletProof 2.5.. Android 2.3.4 - Tmobile)
1) Follow this tutorial to unroot and get back to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27058110&postcount=44
2) Follow this tutorial to install ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26865752&postcount=27
3) AND...Then... I will be unrooted..
How would I root again on ICS?
So is this the right procedure??
and what would I do for (#3)?

You don't necessarily need to use my OTA tutorial if you're gonna restore to complete stock GB, then you can just download the file via the software update option on your phone and let it install the update itself, the guy above answered your final question already.

, go for it then. If you're on tmobile, there's a file that can be used as a PH85IMG to update instead, that may be a bit easier if the OTA is iffy.
ok got the image...
For rooting ICS, do I still unlock the bootloader.. the whole process?
and thanks for all the help so far.

Yes unfortunately bc don't you need a recovery like cwm or 4ext to flash super user? Anyways you should s off. Makes everything super easy.

Does make it super easy, doesn't have to though, it's all upto him if he wants to. Lol at needing my approval, about time you started being confident in what you say dude, you've messed with your own device, you should know which was better for you in your opinion, your opinion matters since you did do it and you know the benefits personally.
Ok, I can give S-OFF another try.. but last time I tried and I was in this rom: "BulletProof 2.5" , it did not work.... so from experience of you guys, what rom have people been the most sucessful getting S-OFF??
You won't need s-off if you using the method I gave you

ok, ill think about the 2 options.. with S-OFF and with S-ON.
but as far as reverting to stock to then flash ICS, no instruction says I need to have my bootloader back locked... I do, right?

Relocked is the same and when attempting s-off, stock rooted rom is a better call, it saves you the hassle that custom roms may cause.
I mean the MD5 sums fail on both PHP8img w/e name... and the nand backup to restore to original ginger garbage.. so I think it's because I have to relock my bootloader by doing OEM_lock or whatever the command is.
do I have to lock bootloader to go back to stock?
and also.. do I need to flash the original kernel?
come on.. someone answer me please... I will make a REALLY good tutorial noob proof for everyone else when I finish doing this.

I was also having problems with my downloads so I downloaded thru my phone. I also found that I had better luck downloading straight from football's account on file factory. You can find his account on stock roms collection page 5 snargaflab post where it says "here"
Hope this helps, as far as locking bootloader when s on I think you do have to lock bootloader. If nobody is helping I suggest you try it out.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Lock your bootloader via the fastboot oem lock command or use hasoon's tool to do it,
download this file here: http://d-h.st/3VD
Place that on your sd card and rename it PH85IMG do not place it in any folders, etc.
Reboot into hboot via the volume down/power button method, when your hboot finds the file, hit volume up to update, phone will reboot on it's own. You're on ICS.
Unlock your bootloader, install 4ext recovery via hasoon's tool and hit the Perm root ICS/GB option, follow all on screen instructions.
All done, official ICS and you're now rooted as well.
hi im trying to update my phone with the new update ICS 4.0 but my phone is rooted. I tried to relock but it say (relocked security warning) whats the way to do it? please can anyone help me.

Don't try to update. Just download a rooted stock or custom rom and flash it.

If you brick your phone, you can't use it. So, for the record, every single default ROM here makes your phone unusable?

That is not entirely true. You can relock your bootloader (ignore the security warning) and run the appropriate ruu exe from your computer to get back on stock. Including stock recovery and stock boot loader. You can then take the ota. Then you could use ramjets quick and easy guide( located in the general section) to getting unlocked again and even s-off if you wanted to. Just offering a another option.

First, it's ROM, not room. Second, only rom's in alpha stage have no camera. Pretty much 95% of the ICS roms out now have everything working, since ICS has been stock for a while now. And no, you won't brick your phone if you follow the directions on the rom thread. Most people on here flash different roms every few days and never brick their phones.

Again, DON'T do that. It will take you 5 times the amount of time to do that, and doing that method increased your chance of bricking three-fold. Just flash whatever rom you want, much easier and safer.

We're not your slaves, I'm sure you are fully capable of reading on your own. Go to the CDMA dev section and find a rom. However, with as little knowledge as it seems you have, I would suggest just flashing a stock rom.
Hi Guys I m in bit of a trouble I didnt read the instruction correctly (Lesson learned). I bought the HTC Amaze (Intl version) yesterday for my sister. She said she wanted ICS so I unlocked bootloader installed TWRP recovery and rooted it using hasoon kit.
After that I downloaded mikes amazing rom did full wipe in twrp and flashed the rom and I also flash boot.img in fastboot through Hasson Kit.
Now I m stuck at boot phone doesnt get past that my recovery has changed to 4Ext and I redid the full wipe in 4Ext and Flashed the rom and 4Ext itself flashed boot.img but again no luck.
I also made a full backup of stock rom but 4ext doesnt pick it up when i restore What should i do now please help me out. I know that I dont have S-off or superCID.
I m kind of a noob so please help me restore the device because my sister is pissed at me.
Thanks in advance
Ok I have been reading the thread I dont understand a god damn thing. I just want to go back to the stock rom it shipped with how can i do that 4Ext doent pick up the restore But i made a backup which is present in TWRP Backup now how do i get that restored thanks

No prob man. Good luck with S-Off and SuperCID, its all alot easier to do than it sounds. If you have any questions or problems, feel free to ask them in that [guide] thread that i gave u the link for. We will be glad to help you if you need it, as long as you dont create a new thread just to askk it
And there is nothing wrong with noob questions.. they are unavoidable really. The problem is when 7-10 people create a new thread, and all of them r asking the exact same noob questzion, then the next day, 10 more people create new threads asking that same question, when if they would have looked or searched, they would have found at least 1 of those first ten threads and would have either found the answer, or been able to ask theirs in one of them. Same goes for the oringinal 10 who first created the threads..if they would have looked, they would have seen the first one and could have just posted there. So now theres 20+ threads asking the same question when there only needs to be one, and would only be 1 if people just looked or searched.

Hi i want to root my phone but it requires to flash recovery.. what will happen if i flash a bad recovery? Does it brick my phone? Or cause a bootloop?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA Free mobile app
No, it simply wont flash as it will probably have bad headers. Even if you did succeed in flashing it, it wouldn't bootloop because it's a different system (area). The only way you can brick a phone is by flashing radios/hboot/etc. Even then, it's really hard to do so. You can check for corruption by testing the ZIP with WinRAR.
I'll give you this advice, also. Don't be afraid. Your device is harder to break than you think. Once you root your phone, you're gonna want a ROM. But then you're gonna say 'screw Sense! I want Cyanogenmod!' Now before you know it, you're pimped out on KitKat enjoying the breeze.
If you need any more information, feel free to quote me and ask about what you need.

Yes, with the HTC Evo 3D, flashing a recovery will not hurt you. If it fails, it probably wont flash or wont boot the recovery. You can keep trying.
ROMs wont hurt ya, recoveries one hurt ya, but bootloaders can. So when you change your hboot, be careful. After the years I've had my 3vo though I've learned it's not very difficult to keep this phone in shape .
