Ok, I've seen many ways to root the evo 3d. I just Unlocked it and now I want to move on. I have saved some of the roots found on here but my questions are and plz don't be an azz with your answers.
1. With so many roots out there. What is the best and currently used methods for rooting and getting S-OFF?
2. After root. What are the best ROMS using ICS? I heard that CM10 is out but IDK.
3. I am now on Metro PCS. What method is the best route to try to get MMS and DATA working? I've seen many but would like to do it all in on shot if at all possible.
I can't DL the OTA for some reason so I'm looking for roms for help. Still on 2.3.4 GB, HBoot 1.50
1. Either downgrade bootloader or unlock with HTC dev and do wire trick.
2. If you want everything working, (I sense based like homebrew by team Imagika.
3. I'm Sprint so I don't know.

I didn't find one but as long as they already have your ESN in there system you can use DFS to program it. I use DFS v4.0.0.4 demo or you can get Ultimate Flash Workshop and half flash it. But $10 at metro pcs.

If I unlocked my bootloader is that enough to get the updates direct from HTC? or do I need to get a unlock code from ATT? or would I have had to buy a unlocked one straight from HTC?
First post! Thanks for starting a stupid question thread!
@ the poster above me, from what I've read so far, any unlocking of the bootloader will disable the OTA HTC updates. But I might have misread, I'm just learning about all this too and have read way too many pages of posts already. I'm sure someone in the know will chime in to confirm.
Now, my turn! I Just switched from iPhone to the HTC one and have really started considering flashing cleanRom 2.5. I have a kindle fire that I managed to root and get jelly bean on, so I'm not a total noob, but I wanna ask a few noob questions. Here goes:
I have spent a long time getting my phone setup the way I like it and when I flash cleanrom, is there a way to carry over the apps and things I've installed? No biggie if not, but I've got some saved game data on here already and some other stuff I'd rather not lose if there was an easy way to save. And is everything working correctly in the cleanrom to where I can still make zoes and use the camera, gallery, etc?
Also, any tips for getting this thing rooted? I was planning on downloading that "noob-proof" toolkit and going from there. I've read about people getting freezes and install issues using twrp, which scares me a bit because I have no idea what that other thing is (starts with a c) that people are using. and I read something Scott said that you should never do a system wipe or you could lose your backup?? I know I used to wipe the system, cache, and something else when I rooted my kindle but I never tried to go back to stock or even look to see if I had a backup file somewhere. maybe if there's a step by step guide you could point me to that I might have missed?
Thanks for the help, I'm glad I joined the forum!

No, unlocking the bootloader won't allow that. If we get s-off then changing the cid and flashing a stock developer edition Rom with a relocked bootloader should allow that if one so desired.
---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
There is no "easy" way perse' to back that stuff up and carry over. There is a way I saw sometime back to root without unlocking the bootloader. Theoretically one could do that and use titanium backup... But I don't really know if it will save your game progress... And you will have to offload your titanium backup data to a computer or something before unlocking the bootloader because it will erase everything. The thing about not wiping system came about because of all the problems people have been having with aroma freezing. Some people seem to have it worse then others but the idea is if aroma screws up over and over you still have an os to boot into. I personally (cross my fingers) have had little trouble with that (maybe 1 freeze or 2 then it runs through all the way). I'd suggest leaving the system folder alone until you know how your phone reacts to aroma installs.

Good to know, would it effect anything if i got a unlock code? Also if i were to reflash the 1.26 RUU could i then grab them using the update in the menu section that is not labled att update?
Can I flash roms from other HTC one carriers?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Not sure about the unlock code but I suspect it would only be a SIM unlock to use on other carriers. Not sure it changes the cid. The other software update your talking about won't grab firmware updates from HTC... There was a software update pushed through that recently for the HTC media thing I read it was so media sharing could be turned on without having mobile hotspot activated.

Root Help
I am having some issues rooting my phone.
I unlocked my bootloader successfully on the HTCdev site
I created a folder on my desktop called android, the folder has the fastboot application and "twrp.img" file
i boot my phone into fastboot (? sorry 100% new to this not sure if i said that correctly)
connect usb cable
command prompt cd desktop\android
then ....android>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
then it reads...
C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\ANDROID>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
error: cannot load 'twrp.img': Unknown error
Im not sure what im doing wrong, its probably something very stupid. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Probably a bad download of twrp
I did a back up and want to know if I need to flash the boot img and what I need to get the latest update?

Yes do you do have to unlock the bootloader to achieve root... If you follow the guides it's not bad at all... I came from mostly Samsung devices too so it took a little getting used to...
As far as s-off I believe you need it to update firmware I did it for the hell of it so I could update firmware.. if s-off is completely necessary I don't know but again it was easy enough to do so I figured why not... Just read read read the guides lol

Sorry for the confusing reply....I have not done anything to the phone yet and it is not bricked.
I do not know how to get to boot loader etc. I used to have HTC EVO, back then I used to root I think using some S-Off tool and using some command line method.
Now I have forgotten everything as after EVO switched to Samsung and in samsung I used to root with Odin.
So waiting for someone to provide detailed step by step direction to root for Sprint MAX.
Thank you so much for offering to help though.

No I still have not rooted...I guess I will wait till we get dedicated Sprint-HOM section...In the past I have seen people bricking their phone because they used instruction for ROMs and Radios for GSM version. Also in my experience generally it takes 3-4 months after the release of the phone to get proper root guide.
Are you guys allowed to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev?
Doesn't that kill the finger print scanner?

I think there is a way for S-off, as there is a rom or 2 already available for this phone ...

I noticed that most carriers have updated their M8s to the 1.54.x software, the one that includes the Extreme Battery saver and some camera mods....wondering if anyone knows if AT&T will update us any time soon?

True, but that would probably be fixed by developers very quickly. S-Off, on the other hand, would probably be a nightmare to fix. Just a guess, though as I have no idea what went into the process.
I unlocked the bootloader, S-Off'd, and rooted the minute I got home with it. I'm still on the stock ROM with a couple of mods like the red text and removed carrier iq.
It's your phone and whatever you decide is all that matters. Enjoy it for what it is.

If you unlock bootloader and soff there is nothing they can ever do to block you from rooting. When you said you didn't want to go through the hassle of upgrading firmware after unlocking, it is faster and only one command to do it. As for your opinion, that is fine, but how can you have an opinion on roms if you haven't even tried one? It's just like everything else in life, for every post with someone having a problem, there are 100 people who are having no problems at all. I don't know if you are new to this but I guarantee you that almost every Rom out there is better than the stock bloated, carrier iq, feature missing at&t Rom. If you plan on unlocking in the future I promise there is no reason to wait. You will not miss out on anything except for the chance of soff.

Cool, that's awesome news! Thank you. I had the m7 before this and ran many Roms, so yeah, I know what I like and I know what specific features I like and right now, I think that stock is where it's at, despite the several 100mbs of bloat. I will not say that sense based Roms won't ever compare, because they will and they will surpass my expectations as usual.....and likely soon, at least that was my experience with the m7. I ran stock for about three months before I felt that another sense based Rom could compare to my personal liking.

Heck yeah! That was my thought too after reading some of the replies here. I S-Off'd right away on the M7, but that was different because there was a method to do it without going through HTCDev, but not so much for us AT&T M8 users, at least that I have seen/tried. Oh well.
