Trying to figure out the rooting process. Just purchased a DNA from ebay and its already s-off and trying to not make any mistakes.
Booting into bootloader says:

Am I right to follow this guide. http://droidmodderx.com/dna/how-to-root-and-install-custom-recovery-actual-root-method-for-all-dnas/
Just making sure im not missing a step before i try to flash superuser and custom recovery.
Rusty with HTC process. Revisiting DNA
Any help is much appreciated.
Yea, that'll work. Its an older recovery but it'll work.
But since its s off already it's no different than any other phone. Flashing a recovery and flashing a zip in recovery is not any different for htc devices.

I have no idea what I did, but I have S-off 1.5 HBOOT, yet my phone is still locked...
Proof attached.
I will attempt to unlock the phone using HTC's Method. Will post results
So
I am now unlocked using the the HTC method (I had S-Off already right?)
Any chance this is a holdover from when the revolutionary method failed, which was before I was forced to update on Aug 23rd? There's really no logical reason my S should be off right?

If you ran revolutionary prior to get the OTA then that would explain why you still have S-Off even with HBoot 1.50
I'm in the same boat.. I just purchased a used EVO 3D, the first thing I wanted to do was check hboot. Unfortunately it has hboot 1.50 installed, but it reports S-OFF. Like you I'm thinking the previous owner unlocked and achieved s-off but then updated which locked the bootloader .
That being said, I'm bummed.. I can either go the HTC method (void warr) or get in line and wait for the proper support in a upcoming revolutionary release? Do I have any other options? Is there nothing else I can do?

If it's s-off, you can flash anything you want...right? You can downgrade hboot if the locked bothers you or just use HTC's method. Just try flashing something and see if it works. I have a feeling it will.

With S-Off you should still be able to flash a custom recovery and root even though your boot loader is locked. That is the beauty of using Revolutionary, you may lose root when you take updates, but it keeps you S-Off and you can re-root by flashing CWM and Superuser.

That's what I thought, I attempted to flash recovery from adb but was geeting an error message (FAILED (remote: not allowed). So after reading your replies I decided to try install TWRP by way of PG86IMG.zip, which worked. I removed the *.zip, rebooted into hboot, and then launched recovery. I'm doing a nandroid backup as we speak then will attempt to install a ROM.
Hey guys,
i just tried to root my friends evo 3d.
After following the HTCDEV.com-Method (and installing revolutionary) i tried to install a rom (LeeDrOiD 3D 5.4).
After flashing the rom i just get a bootloop with the white HTC-Screen.
Here's some Info i got in the bootloader:
*** UNLOCKED ***

I thought it might be the HBOOT-1.53 which is the problem so i tried following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22494488&postcount=1
Sadly we still get the white HTC Screen.
Any Ideas?
Did you make a backup? #1 rule when flashing
What recovery are you using?
Be sure to wipe all partitions before you flash
Also the Rom thread should give you requirements..ie hboot and such

Sadly i did not do a backup.
The leedroid loading icon actuallY shows for a second before the phone restarts.
My next Guess would be To install the gingerbread stock Rom. I will try that when i get home.
Any other ideas?
If youre s on, your choices are limited to stock based roms for the most part.
I have read a few posts about smartflash and flashing boot.IMG through fastboot, but I am s off and have personally never needed to do that.
So yes, start by flashing stock, to get you running.

Ever get it going? I have a cdma version with sprint that has a clean esn and working board but f'ed up lcd/digitizer. If your bricked for real or wanna just swap out boards then this will work great for you. And fyi its Eng Hboot 1.04 SOFF with revolutionary tool. was an original 1.40 hboot before the whole dev unlock crap that doesnt work for sh*t. my post about it is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282485 you can get at me with a PM if your interested.

Go to mwakious 3d rom thread. All step by step instructions are given their with bootloader. Use 4ext recovery to flash this rom. It should work 100%
okay so sometimes the touch panel on my phone wasnt working right so i decided to make it stock so i can return it to htc so they can fix the screen.
so i first relocked the bootloader using qbking77 instructions and then i tries to ruu but i used the wrong ruu and now my phone is stuck at the bootloader
here is the information

You need to get s-off via dirty racun... Then if you wanna go back to completely stock/unroot use VipeRuu, this because it looks like you are on the latest firmware for which we do not have an official RUU...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
You will have to unlock your bootloader again and install a 3.16 based rom. Your touch screen problems are most likely not the screen but are caused by the touch panel drivers that were installed when you upgraded your firmware. Once you are on the latest firmware you can only use roms based on 3.16 and twrp recoveries that are 2.4 or newer. If you want to use older roms or AOSP roms you will need to go s-off and downgrade your touch panel drivers. Also, HTC won't do anything to fix your screen because you used the developer unlock and voided your warranty.
WOW thank you guys so much for ur help.this is the reason why i love the xda members so much they always come through with the help. :good:
i thought my device was done for good but i worked on it for a couple hours and i fixed it and its now rooted.
now my only issue is with the touch screen anyone know how i can fix that?

If your touch screen isn't responding once your phone boots, you have the updated touch panel driver and will have to use ROM's based off software version 3.16. You also must use TWRP version 2.4+. Once you gain S-off you can downgrade your touch panel driver and run whatever ROM you wish

I am sort of a noob when it comes to this stuff and I am having trouble returning the phone to stock.

I am able to unlock and relock the bootloader with no problem, and I can get into TWRP, but I cannot flash a rom that 1. finishes flashing or 2. boots at all. There is not currently a rom on the phone because I wiped it.
I don't know what I need to do at this point to get back to stock. I think I may need a 3.15 or 3.16 RUU.exe to make it work but I can't find a link to one. I downloaded an older RUU.exe and it started the process but it threw an error code and said I had to download a different version.
What do I do from here? I can't seem to get the phone to s-off either because I don't understand what to do.

Sent from my EVO using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You will need to unlock your bootloader before you do anything else. Until you can get your phone to boot you won't be able to use Moonshine. You need to get your phone working first. Follow the steps in the guide in the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443108
I suggest downloading MeanBean ROM. It has a kernel installer built in to it to facilitate flashing while S-on. From recovery, flash the ROM zip once and reboot to system. The phone should boot to the HTC splash screen, then back to recovery. Flash the ROM zip again and reboot & you should be good to go. Once you're up and running you can proceed to Moonshine:thumbup:
Your issue is the fact that you are currently S-on. On the newer Hboot's (1.15+) the kernel must be flashed separately from the ROM, otherwise your phone won't boot. Once you gain S-off this won't be an issue. For more info click the link in my sig.
i tried iinstalling every rom i could find for htc 4g lte using twrp 2.7 i neither stock or custom
ive tried using the stock RUU while on fastboot still no luck. i'm thinking if i could only get S OFF
or find a good rom thats compataible with my phone ed i really wanted sense 5 but right now
i just want my pnhone working again :/

You'll have to relock your bootloader first if you want to run the RUU. (fastboot oem lock) Also, check out @Magnum_Enforcer he has a guide for S-on Rom and kernel flashing.

Hit the top link in my sig and take a read. Lots of useful info:thumbup:
Your issue is that while your phone is S-on you have to install the kernel separately from the ROM either via fastboot or the Flash Image GUI app, unless you install a ROM that includes a kernel installer (for example, MeanBean ROM).
