I've recently gone through hell trying to root and install ROMs on my friend's HTC Evo for Virgin Mobile. Something I just noticed is that it seems the 3D and V are two variants of the same phone. Is the V the only version of the Evo on Virgin Mobile? If so, does this mean I should look for ROMs/root guides specifically for the V or should the 3D guides be exactly the same? The bootloader shows it as shooter, which means it's a CDMA 3D, but everything referring to Virgin Mobile shows the phone as the V. Can someone clear this up?
The virgin mobile variant of the 3d is the Evo V, only use ROMs from the CDMA dev thread or you will get bootloops

Thanks. I've had a huge headache with my friend's Evo. It got stuck in a bootloop not because I'm not using CDMA ROMs, but because I can't find any ROMs that work with hboot 1.58. And any RUU I use tells me the hboot it's attempting to install is an older version and the update fails, so it's a real mess.

hey guys
so i looked around and couldn't find much on EVO V 4G, the Virgin Mobile version of the EVO 3D. it has ICS Sense 3.6 and the bootloader shows 1.57. so i was wondering...has anyone rooted this phone yet? i'm thinking of trying HTC Dev cause that seems to be the only way? and also, if i manage to unlock and root my EVO V 4G, do the ROMs for EVO 3D CDMA work for it? it should right?
my EVO V 4G looks exactly like a EVO 3D, it even says "Sprint" in the front next to the HTC Logo. doesn't show any sign that it's VM unless you turn it on and it shows in the carrier text.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks

There are guides on both android forums and android central on how to root and Rom it but it is basically the same as rooting the evo 3d.

I'm digging around and it appears that the hardware in the EVO V from Virgin is identical to the EVO 3D. Will ROMs for the 3D work on my Virgin Mobile EVO V device?

I am acquiring this week an Evo V 4g (Virgin Mobile Evo 3d), I'm wondering if all ROMs for the device are for the Sprint version. I notice that many ROMS that are ICS have "Sprintified" in the subject, or something similar.

There are no roms built specifically for the evo v here in xda. You can find roms built for the evo v on android forums and vmroms.

The reason the Roms say Sprintified is because the dev took the Virgin Mobile leak and converted it for use on Sprint. You need one where this has not been done, which is not available here.

I used the Unlock Bootloader on my Evo 3D CDMA Sprint process completes 'successfully' but fastboot screen says unlocked & S-ON. I have version 1.58.0000 on ICS 4.03. Isn't this process supposed to give me S-OFF as well?
No, you need to do the wire trick for s off

Im trying to download roms for the htc evo 3d
Does anyone know where this download link is?
HTC EVO 3D EVO 3D GSM Android Development [ROM][4.4.4][SM-4.7][OFFICIAL] LiquidSmooth v3.2
Also people keep saying the evo 4g is the same as the evo 3d; is that true? on youtube the title Htc EVO 3D / V 4G Liquid Smooth 4.4.2 Kitkat says they are the same. by everything android.
but I see on google site comparisons they are different phones
\
can i use the evo 3d roms on the evo 4g?
Evo V 4g is CDMA evo 3d that is virgin mobile branded...it is not GSM
GSM and CDMA roms are not interchangeable

No man, The guy on youtube showed himself put a gsm liquid smooth rom on a cdma sprint phone and it worked
Htc EVO 3D / V 4G Liquid Smooth 4.4.2 Kitkat TITLE on youtube. at 1:28 on the video he explains he is using a GSM rom on CDMA
Well I wouldn't advise it... I have a CDMA phone..evo v from virgin and I'm here to tell you I have tried flashing a gsm ROM. It will cause you some headache, but by all means try it
Yes there is LS for evo3d CDMA I'm using now, and have been using it for several months...but its made for the CDMA phone...it is in my opinion one of the best for this phone
