Only other option would be to use someone else's htcdev account, they also send you the second portion of the instructions to unlock your bootloader via email. You have to use htcdev, if you don't have 1.5 you can use revolutionary but than you wouldn't need this thread

You're one of the lucky few. I've had to swap devices 4 times on this phone and 5 on my OG EVO. It's hit or miss really.
thanks really helped, now I can flash roms on my phone
Yeah I do consider myself lucky with all the stories I hear, I got my 3d third party though from a guy that had it for a while so hopefully it's safe to say I didn't get a dud, but yeah with all the phones I've had, I never once had to do a claim

Q - Awesome! Can I make a donation?
A - Of course! Do not feel obligated though. If you would like to make a donation, you can click the button on my toolkit or under my username.

You can do this right through the tool. Look at the bottom right txt box to "Perm Root", select it and click run. This will copy SuperUser.zip to the root folder of the sd card.
Once this is done reboot into recovery. Do it manually or using the tool. Once in recovery, select "install zip from sd card", find the SuperUser.zip and flash it. Now you are rooted.
GOOD!
dude
do we have to install a new rom if we want just to root !! ??

i had the same problem earlier today but i visited the http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
sign up and login if you are a new user. proceed to select "All Other Supported Models" from the drop down list.
proceed as requested on the site to unlock your bootloader.
after the unlocking. flash the recovery.
again after i did this, i found i could not "root" the device which is the primary reason for embarking on this journey.
the toot kit did actually sent the SU zip to the sd card but could not continue from there.
Do this:
from the tool kit, boot to recovery - update from sd - select the SU zip pushed to your sd card by the tool kit and Bingo!
You are done rooting!!!
NB:
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS OUT FOR YOU AND IF NOT, I WILL BE GLAD TO HELP.

5.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
6.) make sure other programs that interfere with adb and fastboot are uninstalled (PDANet, Kies, etc.)
7.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
8.) if you use a third party firewall, be sure to grant access to distiller.exe as it checks for updates
9.) MAKE SURE HTC SYNC IS UNINSTALLED
10.) YOU MUST UNZIP THE ARCHIVE BEFORE RUNNING DISTILLER. DO NOT JUST TRY TO RUN IT FROM THE ARCHIVE.

This is probably the easiest s-off/unlock/root method I've ever used. You literally plus your device in, run the executable, and it does everything for you. Great job on this!

FYI, a few typos on the instructions page.
e.g. "USB 3.0 ports are know to casue connectivity problems"
I'm a bit new to using a Live CD. The instructions say don't download Moonshine to the Windows drive. Will it install there by default or how should I go about this? Thanks for the help.

S-OFF achieved!!! Thank you so much guys!
Just a little heads up - may be good to let people know that this will install SuperSU so they don't try and flash another Superuser/SuperSU JIK.
Backing up with CWM right now... sooooo pretty!
Thanks! Now to go celebrate! Excited to get this working when I get back!
Has anyone tried on 64-bit? I'm about to and was wondering if anyone hit any problems

I'm sorry in advance but this is the first time I've used linux... lowering my head now... Where is terminal?
Tip here. If your unsure of what your doing wait until someone makes a tutorial for you to follow or a video. Be patient it will happen. It's better than having a bricked device because you don't know what your doing.

This is my first time modding any hboot, just simply because i never wanted to risk bricking my phone. But tonight i wanted to see if the issues i was having with my phone was due to lower hboot version i was running. I haven't yet to check to see if my issues have been solved but i have manage to remove HTC Red Warning Text. I have successfully been able to flash these hboots and it works perfectly for me.Only have done hboot 3.06 but i will be doing all and adding all firmware packs soon... This is for anyone who wants to update just Hboot or Firmware without the red text
How To Flash :
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]*** Boot into Bootloader/Fastboot USB Mode ***[/COLOR]
Step 1) fastboot oem rebootRUU
[COLOR="Red"]*** Wait for the device to reboot to a black screen with an HTC logo ***[/COLOR]
Step 2a) fastboot flash zip PL83IMG_#.##_hboot.zip
or
Step 2b) fastboot flash zip PL83IMG_#.##_Firmware.zip
[COLOR="red"]*** When it says it is done in the terminal/cmdprompt execute the following *** [/COLOR]

Edit : I looked for a thread here to remove it without the regaw mod. And I didn't see any so I made a post of the mod . So again nice try saying I took your thread

I didn't say the files, I meant the guide.
As per my thread: I am not [.torrented] taking credit for the files, I only take credit for the guide and links I provide.
I wasn't trying to sound harsh, or discourage any modifications, I personally edited my bootloaders and created a the mod so other other people could use it.

Hi all. I bought my Evo 3D phone from someone and the wifi is not working. Trying to turn it on just results in "Error". Apparently this is rooted and/or has custom firmware. The software is NegaLite BluROM with android 4.0.3. I was wondering if anyone could help a root/cfw newbie with step by step instructions on how to get wifi working again. My google research showed something about a Mobster ROM being the best firmware, but have no idea about anything.
i like negalite the best, but what release is it?
i also liked mobster lite and unsenseable.
negalite blurom cdma vm r115
try the official thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745093
i use jcfunk's fork, its more recent and you might even get something hot off the press if you check out his svn.
midnight rom deserves a mention:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141207
i'm not sure where mobster went, i'll hunt a link down later if you need. same with unsenseable.

i never knew what s-off was. i rebooted into recovery and it turns out i have s-on. then i googled and found Unrevoked, but the download doesn't work.
Here I can quick fix your phone, download recovery on computer.
ReBoot phone into bootloader.
From computer,
fastboot boot recovery.img
This will upload recovery.img to phone, and boot recovery with write access to boot partition. Which HTC has locked, this is first method found to by pass. Other would be dumb-lock. But that's your wifi issue, because your still using stock kernel, but wifi drivers are built for my kernel

it just says Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader. those are my options i'm not sure what to do
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also, can use Flashify to install a boot.img but won't work with installer zip for my kernel, because boot.img is made during install.
May look like this, fastboot shows when usb is plugged in.

Home of the ORIGINAL hboot 1.50 'how to flash'
less than 48 hours after HTC released their web based unlocker, i walked a user thru the process below in public chat (the public Synergy Chat room) - two hours later some one posted it on XDA and claimed creait for it, even copied/pasted my spelling errors. when called out with screen shots of the chat with timestamps, they still claimed credit. - this is the ORIGINAL.
This is a cleaned up and detailed version of the chat, I included it as 2nd post to my roms and always posted it when someone needed help. so a few weeks later, i finally decided to make a post here.
---
so, you unlocked using HTC's unlocker located at HTCDEV.com
some background on this unlock method:
-when you unlock using HTC's unlock method, the boot partition is still read only, and you cant flash to it. (kernels and ramdisks go here - so no 2.3.3 rom will boot, and most 2.3.4 roms will not work correctly)
when you unlocked your bootloader using HTC's method, you should have downloaded a file that contained some program files, mainly fastboot.exe and adb.exe, as well as the device drivers you would have to install to unlock
- you will need these
to get around this problem HTC has created, we will be using the fastboot.exe program to force the ramdisk/kernel onto the phone. anytime you use fastboot to flash a partition, you risk bricking your phone, so please do this at your own risk.
I have walked several people thru this, and no one had any problems, but if something dont go right, or the connection between the pc and the phone gets interrupted, your phone may become bricked.
I am going to assume you know the basics of flashing a rom, and that you have either teamwin or clockwork's recover tool installed on your phone (and you know how to use them). if not please see series #3 below.
SERIES 1 - INSTALL A ROM AND RAMDISK/KERNEL
Step 1 - backup everything on your phone, nandroid backup
step 2 - if you want to flash the ext4 optimizer for /data, read the info and directions here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=6329
------>everything should be backed up now
Step 3 - flash Virus's superwipe tool.
Step 4 - flash the /data optimizer tool - the download can be found in the post linked in step 2
Step 5 - open the rom you downloaded using winrar, or 7zip, and copy the boot.img file somewhere (the same folder that contains the tools you used to unlock your phone would be a perfect place)
Step 6 - open a command prompt (or terminal window), and goto the window that contains the tools you used to unlock your boot loader
Step 7 - reboot your phone into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader)
Step 8 - from the command prompt enter the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then press [enter]
Step 9 - once complete, exit fastboot, and boot back into recovery
Step 10 - flash the rom's zip file using recovery
Step 11 - enjoy
SERIES 2 - INSTALL A RAMDISK/KERNEL (ROM ALREADY FLASHED)
*signs of a failed ramdisk flash include broken wifi, 4g, poor performance and just weirdness in general. the updater scripts used to install a rom will not flash ramdisk with S-ON.
Step 1 - open the rom you downloaded using winrar, or 7zip, and copy the boot.img file somewhere (the same folder that contains the tools you used to unlock your phone would be a perfect place)
Step 2 - open a command prompt (or terminal window), and goto the window that contains the tools you used to unlock your boot loader
Step 3 - reboot your phone into fastboot (abd reboot bootloader)
Step 4 - from the command prompt enter the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then press [enter]
Step 5 - reboot your phone and enjoy (fastboot reboot)
SERIES 3 - INSTALL A RECOVERY TOOL
*you may need to do this before each flash, some phones somehow break recovery after a rom is flashed, and recovery will not launch until re-flashed for some reason (Kathy.. )
Step 1 - download TeamWin's recovery here (IMG format) -> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24995663/recovery.img
Step 2 - copy this file to the same directory as your fastboot and adb files HTC had you download to unlock your phone.
Step 3 - goto your dos prompt (or terminal if on linux)
Step 4 - change directories to the folder your files are in (recovery.img and fastboot)
Step 5 - flash your recovery using the following command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Step 6 - reboot your phone (fastboot reboot)
*disclaimer - you do this at your own risk. as of yet, the processes listed above work 100% and not 1 failure has been reported. make sure your usb cable is good, and your pc has good power during any fastboot process. most of this comes from a chat i had in the synergy public/general chat room 2 hours prior to it being posted on XDA by others claiming credit. kangers goto hell.

Here is a quote from other site
I assume Series 3 is the part I need to follow? Do I do this during recovery mode or normal phone mode? Because I don't know the file directory of my phone

Yes, but post was very old, use recovery I posted. Also if you use command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
instead of
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It will load/run recovery from computer, then install kernel from recovery.
