I just bought a brand new Virgin Mobile Evo V 4G model # PG86100 .
Ive searched this thread, not much has came up on the evo v.
Im assuming rooting and unlocking is the same steps as the Evo 3d?
as well as flashing etc?
If this has been posted before... it must be buried deep ...

You can use this guide which includes support for the Evo V 4G.
If you are still on the stock ROM and haven't rooted yet, you can download and install the OTA from the system updates section of settings on your phone if you haven't already, then proceed to Step2 of the guide.

Yes, after you downgrade your hboot from 1.57 you should be able to flash and boot most any ROM for the Evo 3D/V except the stock ROM and one or two Sense ROM's that require the 1.57/1.58 hboot.
Just be aware that the Sprint ROM's usually need to be modified for some carrier specific stuff like MMS to work properly.

This is a stock rooted EU Shooter 1.20.401.2 ROM (odex) to use as a base for everyone. This was extracted directly from the RUU.
The only MODS made to this were that it has been ROOTED and ZIPALIGNED.

With S-ON, no you can't.
But is this a way to root your evo3d? Or am i mistaken?
no this is pre-rooted rom. If you had a custom Recovery you could flash it. There is no way for the most of us yet, wait a little bit revolutionary Team is working on it already.
how'd you know that they are working?

Hi,
Would you be able to do the same for RUU_Shooter_U_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.22.707.2_Radio_10.55.9020.00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_207422_signed.
I have flashed the Europe ROM by Virtuous Shooter and have Wifi Error. Need to revert back to Asia ROM deperately to get back the original ROM.
I cannot use the original Asia RUU to revert back as halfway thru it will give me error on device. I suspect this is due to using HTCdev bootloader unlock method
Got a question, if I got a euro EVO 3d then if i root and flash a different radio will it pick up different signals to better support it here in the USA or am I just stuck on edge??. If not is there any software adjustments that can be made to make it pick up at least 3g??

i suppose you could try flashing a rogers radio but i wouldnt recommend it. you may be able to make some tweaks in qpst or cdma workshop

My phone is s-off but flash with based cmw not works error is status 0 solution?
Same here,have this recovery installed:
http://goo-inside.me/shooteru/clockworkmod
I tried now the Virtuous Shooter v.1.0.2 ROM with the same recovery
which I mentioned one post above.There are no problems!
Maybe something wrong with the "updater-script" at the ROM from this
thread.
Thanks Flashmaniac
why i dont can install this ROM?
im on the same Base, using GSM Evo and Clockwork.
Hi all
From what i see in the Sensation forums, you have to 'upgrade firmware' in order to install ICS even on a completelt s-off'd and rooted phone. This doesnt make sense to me because youre installing a custom OS which has nothing to do with the official stuff. Anyway the real point.. do we as evo 3d users (gsm) have to go thru the same hastle when ics comes out, and is it a one time thing or you have to di it everytime before flashing a new rom? Man i have no idea how to flash stuff from bootloader or whatever so im nervous about this, im s-off tho
Thanks, expert advice would be greatly appreciated!

Firmware has to be updated to work with ICS kernel (3.x), I believe if you can use a 2.x kernel, no firmware change is necessary.

Usr htcdev to unlock it, flash cwm, then either go s-off and flash your Rom and kernel or stay s-on and flash you ROM, kernel, then fastboot flash the boot.img. Tutorials are in main sections depending on whether you have CDMA or GSM. I personally recommend leedroid or mikrunny.

I can't add the links as I'm on phone but www.htcdev.com has the unlock instructions. As for the rest they are in the forums, try the stickies first. With regards to problems the only ones I would say are the battery life is not particularly stellar on any Rom really, and ics roms don't have functioning camera, but aside from that it is one hell of a good phone with the 3d as a nice bonus .

If you are xdma there is no need to void your warranty with HTC Dec. Look in the cdma Dev section under the stickies and just soff the bad boy. Pretty easy even if you have never run Linux before.

I am lost!!!!alot of talking about frimware and Shooter RUU and stuff...it's complex guys
Shooter, ruu, versions.. your lost?
Hey I would just like to share in part of your confusion and let you know, take it a step at a time! And always READ READ READ , everyone here is very helpful and if you have a question chances are its been answered the only thing is finding the answer hence, "read read read." As for "Shooter" I know HTC phones use code names and Shooter represents our phones the Htc EVO 3d , Supersonic represents Htc EVO 4G, so on and so forth. RUU's I know are the "STOCK" files the completely revert your phone to stock and stand for either "Rom update utility" or something of that nature I am still unsure but Have used before to update my radios through hboot as I am on HBoot 1.5 and wanted the new 2.17 base. As the versions and radios/hboot, software all of the above , on your phone go menu/settings/about phone and read about your versions of software, baseband represents your radio and software info will be something like 2.17.651.5 "build number" is exactly stated in that menu of the phone. Good luck !
EVO 3d
hboot 1.5 s-on htc unlocked
MEANROM v2.9 stock kernel
honeysense theme w/ leedroid tweaks
Thankful..but still!
I can't thank u enough..u and the whole HTC forum family are really helpful and great..so I am going to read about what I'm gonna do..and then ask if I am right or not..first thing I registered in HTCdev site to unlock bootloader but there are minimum choices of countries..so I chose US and hence they asked me to choose my phone but they only give a list of Evo 3D with carriers(Sprint and T-mobile and soon)so I am afraid I may do anything wrong..mine is GSM version and not carrier specific and I live in Iraq..what shoould I do now??
Hello, I've just received my new HTC EVO 3D after a long time with my loved HTC HD2...
Now I'm searching for tips 'n tricks to do on the EVO 3D something similar to what I successful did on the HD2. But before, I have some questions:
- I've seen a lot of ROMs also for the EVO 3D, but all them supports 3D on screen and camera?
- In your experience with custom roms for EVO 3D, what's the best rom without sense?
-What's the requirements to install a custom rom?
Many thanks in advance
Sorry for my bad english.
If the ROM is based on official stock firmware then yes, it will fully support 3D. Leedroid is IMO the best out there.

Uhm I realized that my phone has already installed "something" inside.. it's most likely an used phone:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.49.0018
eMMC-boot
Oct 3 2011, 15:03:01
This is what I see pressing power button+volume down at phone turned off.
What I should do?
There aren't yet some ICS preview-based ROMs with working 3D due to the HTC announce of an official ICS update for the EVO 3D?
That's not a new phone, somebody has HTCDev unlocked it. However this is actually quite good as you can now install a custom recovery and then either:
Install a custom ROM and kernel image manually or
S-Off the device after a hboot downgrade and install roms easier.
As you are a GSM EVO 3D user you have access to a couple very good ICS roms however none at the moment support the camera or Bluetooth (or playback of 3D media for that matter). As you concluded its because HTC are yet to release official ICS for devs to port the libraries and drivers from.

Understood a thanks+ given for your patience.
I'll wait for official ICS due to the BT+3D support, sad to see that there's not a completely functional MIUI rom for the EVO 3D... I've used many fantastic MIUI based ROMs on the HD2...
I've read about the dangerous HBOOT live CD downgrade procedure that allow EVO 3D users to downgrade from HBOOT 1.50 to 1.40 and switching the flash security to S-OFF (a thing I've never heard on HD2)... what this means in terms of advantages for me? What changes between a phone with S-OFF and another with S-ON?
And I read that if I choose to unlock the flash security (S-OFF), I should before return to an HTCDev lock status... how can I perform this?

I think there is a very good MIUI ROM available but it only supports camera if you have a 5+2 megapixel version instead of the older 5+5 megapixel version.
An HTCDev unlock has already been performed on your phone so that part isn't an issue, have to admit I've never hears of a live cd downgrade for GSM versions.

To check what camera you have in your phone, try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482664
Scroll down a bit to where it says "Camera checking".
If you have S-ON you have to either use an app made by a recognized developer Joeykrim to flash kernels, or you have to use fastboot command (while connected by a USB cable to a computer) in ADB. You cannot use the normal way of flashing kernels in recovery, as that will leave you with an endless bootlooping phone. (And, i dont think S-ON can flash a new splash screen? Someone confirm please)
If you are S-OFF, you can basicly do whatever you want, whatever way you want. No need for USB cables, apps and such. Just boot into recovery and flash what you want.
Very nice, I need the S-OFF lol
I should search a procedure for S-OFF my GSM EVO 3D.
The "Camera Checking" app isn't anymore on the play store, so I can't download it.
No problem, I'll test directly the ROM on my phone to check it after done the S-OFF.
Any suggestion to S-OFF an EVO 3D GSM?
@e3d & @Atomix87: seems that you have a GSM one with S-OFF, which procedure you used?

I'm almost certain the live cd is only for CDMA. To achieve S-Off with my EVO 3D I downgraded my hboot via this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535987 make sure you completely and thoroughly read the entire thread through before attempting any of it.
I'm reading it, but i think some points are useless for me.. my phone has already the bootloader unlocked "HTC way" and root access on stock rom.
So, please confirm this, I need only to follow the third procedure (third post) on thread you linked me: "Downgrading your HBOOT".
Where I can find the CID code?
Flash maniac ( XDA member ) has an downgrade guide so that you will have an hboot version that you can s-off.
Hello good people of XDA
As of June 29th my EVO 3D is bangin with ICS 4.0.3 and Sense 3.6
Now as much as i like it, i would like to see more ICS and less Sense, as 3.6 brings minor changes and i feel like its a futile update that took 6 month for HTC to bring! I was expecting it to talk to me and ask, how my day went! :S
I would like to Root the phone, but there is just so much info about ROOT, MOD's, KERNEL's, H-BOOT, S-OFF and all the necessary things to know a little about before ROOTING, that i just feel confused and lost, and cant seem to find the right info for me :S
So my Q's are:
What's the most up to date ROOTING guide for the EVO 3D?
What's the point of a KERNEL, why is it flashable? Do i even need one when ROOTING?
I would like to Backup my existing "Stock Rom" is Titanium Backup the way to go ?
Is there an Official ICS ROM for the EVO 3D without Sense ? That is not tweaked or edited ? Just vanilla ?
What about the CamMod & MusicMod's for the CDMA devices ? Are there any for the GSM ones as well ? Panorama and all the goodies implemented..
What should i use to flash MOD's or KERNEL's onto the phone ? PC or an APP ?
If i missed something, please be so kind and bring it to my attention!
THX
Ok to root I would use revolutionary to root and s-off if it not hboot 1.5 kernels are for permorfance increase and they are flashable in recovery also there are stock ics roms in the development section and vanilla told as welll to download and also to backup stock Rom I would root and backup in a custom.recovery pm me if u need more help
