like the title says... is it done yet? been looking and looking for solutions to that question. i'm already rooted using the htc method. but still looking for a way to get s-off.
check the 3D general section, there are a few threads on it with varying info.
short answer though - no
There has been some effort made towards this front, with little success. Whether you think it's a smoke screen, or not, evil devnull, and his team, attempted this around thanksgiving, and couldn't come up with anything. Not sure if revolutionary is quietly working on something, or if they are waiting for the ICS update, or if they are just done with bootloader unlocking, period (I'm not bashing those guys, but they have been eerily quiet since the bootloader changed to 1.5).
The unlocked, non carrier branded GSM guys have found a way to revert back to an eariler bootloader, using the HTC unlock method, and then performing a similar method to what the thunderbolt/evo shift 4g guys did to allow the Hboot to accept a RUU with an earlier hboot.
I think this doesn't get much attention, because the HTC unlock method allows you can do almost everything you could if you had S-OFF. The only thing missing is being able to flash radios.
At this point it wouldn't make sense for devs to come up with a solution now. Not with ICS around the corner
is there a temp root for hboot 1.5?

whats ics?
The only reason why i ask is because, ##data# or what ever it is, i found my midi number using an app in market place, but when i tried to adjust my volume. it doesnt want to work. i was wondering if me having s-on and rooted is affecting it in any way.
Ics is ice cream sandwich new android OS hopefully coming to the EVO 3d early 2012.

Dear all EVO GSM user,
Firstly, my device's current info should read as follow.
***Lock*** Shooter_u PVT.SHIP S-ON RL BOot-.1.49.0012 eMM-boot Aug.4.2011 ***************
It's a Testra Brand device I bought from my friend as I recognized the splash screen showing T and some Testra application installed, and so my question is as follow. 1) I have searched through Google, but could found not anybody has talked about Unlock EVO Testra brand device so far, so if it's possible to Unlock its current boot-loader? Noted that in HTCDEV does not show EVO Testra in its supported device and only showing like Sprint, Roger devices..etc.
2) If the HTCDEV method does not work, are there any methods that our users have been successfully unlocked their Testra device's bootloader?
3) I believe that my phone has been unlocked from Testra network via using keypad method to unlock it originally, and if it is so, in even my phone's bootloader could be unlocked, rooted & flashed any custom roms, and I will need to go back to stock rom (via running RUU.exe) due to some reasons like custom roms are not running well or more lagges...etc, and after completely flashing stock RUU.exe, will the Testra network (not the bootloader) lock my phone network again same as originally?
Thank you in advance for your help and looking forward to your good advices & comments as I need to try some custom roms now.
My phone's details as per attachments.
Hi,
I have the Vodafone branded version (VODAP120 not VODAP102), and can't find a working RUU to flash mine back to hboot 0007 from my current 0018. However I did manage to use the HTCdev method, I don't understand what the problem is for you. Branding and sim lock are independent, once it has been sim unlocked, it'll work with all sims, no matter what RUU you flash.
What I don't understand is why there are methods to unbrand the DHD and the Sensation, and nobody has yet managed to create one for the Evo 3d. In some German forum I read that you can nandroid restore a 'backup' off an unbranded device, to unbrand your own...
The problem with unlocking your device (to S-off, since htcdev method works), is that you won't find a working ruu with hboot 0007 or 0008 with the correct cid.

If my phone now is simunlocked, and if we flash the Testra stock Shipped ROM_U again same as original, will this stock shipped ROM lock my phone sim network again?
I noticed there is no method to unlock bootloader on Testra branded device yet.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515a using xda premium
AFAIK, no it won't sim lock it again. Might depend on the radio, but I doubt it will relock.
You can unlock the bootloader with HTCDev, then flash CWM recovery, then flash superuser through cwm, then flash a telstra branded RUU with hboot of 0007 or 0008. Then you can unlock the bootloader to S-Off with Revolutionary's tool. There's tutorial threads all over the place in the GSM development section.
Your problem (and mine too) is that we can't find an RUU that will work with our branded CID's, VODAP120 for me and TELSXXXX for you. If you try to flash, it always says incorrect cid (even with goldcard).

But in HTCDev, Testra branded is not listed in the supported device. Thus how can we unlock its bootloader? Can you clarify more?
Can it be confirmed that it won't lock the sim network again?
If I were u, if some of the custom roms can be considered as a daily use, and stock could not be reverted, will maintain at custom rom.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515a using xda premium
Sorry I wasn't clear enough on that, you need to use EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Asia - I think). I can't flash most custom roms because I don't have S-Off, I'm on 0018. ATM I'm using RosieLess, its clean, very light, and senseless (my favorite!).

Did the EMEA work to unlock your brand VODAF hboot? I believe yes base on ur comment? Why are u on S-ON now when u can unlock ur hboot, S-OFF, rooted ur phone?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515a using xda premium
Yes I used EMEA and I got my VODAP evo unlocked, but I don't have an RUU that has the correct cip, so I can't downgrade my hboot. I rooted it by installing cwm through fastboot. But I can't get S-Off with 0018.
Many users now have reported the same as your. Did your phone unlock sim network too?

Hello, is it possible to unlock my bootloader without using the htc dev method? This because i don't want to lose my warranty! I know that after unlocking my bootloader i will need a different bootloader to root my device, this is no problem for me.so is there a possibility to unlock my bootloader without htcdev.com? My hboot and type of device can be found at the title of this thread.kind regards, a proud htc evo 3d owner( i have the device for two weeks now)!
I had the same problem. EVO 3D GSM + HBoot 1.49.0018
The Revolutionary method doesn't work and as far as I'm aware, the only way to unlock your bootloader is via the HTC Method. I have done this and rooted my device. I am now going to attempt http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495657
Sorry I can't be of more help. Extremely new to this!
thank you
Thank you for your reply! You have also vodafone, i think? Because of the hboot and the link you send me.thanks vodafone, for making it hard to root my device! I really won't use the htc method because i want to keep my warranty!
My phone is unbranded.
I was a little uncertain as to whether to root on the HTC Method but I just took the plunge. For me the ability to root surpassed the usefulness of the warranty.
Veevoh, how did you root your phone? I have an unbranded HTC EVO 3D GSM HBOOT 1.49.0018 with unlocked bootloader via HTC Method, but i just can't find a way to root. Did you downgrade to HBOOT 1.49.0007?

If your already unlocked via htc method then just flash a recovery, make a nandroid, and then flash a Rom. Take a look at the gsm development thread and spend a few hours reading to give you a better understanding of what the risk's and benefits are of rooting. Also as I previously mentioned if your unlocked and s-off and your on a stock Rom after you flash your recovery then just to gain root you can flash the Su.zip and then hit up the market and download busybox and you will have root on your stock Rom. I'd highly recommend making a nandroid backup as soon as you get your recovery on your device. Then make a copy of it and keep it on your pc just so you always have a stock backup to revert to and a copy of it.

No need for HTC unlock you.can downgrade you Rom with the old Rom version that comes with old hboot then use revaluation to s-off. I will post link to guide I used later.

cool, looks like i got lucky with my asda phone.
just for reference? , to get back to how the phone came , i just run the fastboot s-on command and then run the latest firmware update ruu and that should return me to hboot 1.49.0018 s-on locked?

Flash the stock RUU then go into bootloader and enter command fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 and you will be s-on again.
Note i have not tested the above command as dont want to start all over again but it should work.
Best way for me was
1. Root using htcsupertool
2. Then run ruu then root again
3. This turns your bootloader to .007
4. Then use I/O rev to s-off and install clockwork
5. Install your Rom
6. If you want to back to stock
7. Re run ruu takes you back to stock.
8. Then take the OTA updates takes you back to .018
7. Check forum how to s-on
This method prevents the RELOCKED bootloader just says locked
Hope this helps

Luckily i got the same hboot as yours from Asda too! Gonna have a go at this now to get s-off.
I just flashed a ruu and it downgrade my 3vo from .018 to .007. So I think you don't need to root the phone before.

Nah you dont. After downgrading to .007 i just used revolutionary to gain s-off and flash the recovery. After that you can flash a superuser zip and you'll have root.
So glad i did this, feels good
I wanted to relock my phone in order to upgrade the stock firmware. Is there a way to relock it while keeping it S-Off?
All you have to do is flash one of the zips from here to upgrade your firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673377

If you did not s-off after unlocking and you're trying to run JB ROMs it will not work..
If you want to run ICS you should be on 1.58 and if you want anything else then 1,5 or lower and s-off.
what ROM's are you trying to run. most new ones require 1.5 or lower and those ICS based require 1.58. I was running CoolRom and had to run 1.58. when i switched to JB roms I had to downgrade to 1.5 or i would bootloop.
