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.

Hello.
I bought EVO 3D few days ago.
I want to root it but my HBOOT is 1.49.0018. All videos in youtube.com is with HBOOT 1.40.00000 or 1.50.00000. How could I root it?
And another problem is that a lot of services are always running. My free momory is from 150mb ram - 250mb ram. I think free momory should be from 300-500mb ram.
And battery life is just nothing. I did charge it all night. I went to school at 7:00 but at 13:40 or 14:00 the battery was empty. Is it normal?
I really really want to find answers to my questions.
Hope someone from this forum can help me.

Check revolutionary.io, I think your hboot is too new to use revolutionary, not positive though. Another option is running the 2.17 ruu, that'll get you 1.5 hboot, which can be unlocked with htcdev. Another option is downgrading your hboot, thanks to unknownforce for bricking his device to show us this method. You can find the downgrade thread in the development stickys

Well sence your hboot is 1.49.0018 then head on over to HTC dev website and sign up you will have to do first this where you will unlock your bootloader after that you will be able to install a custom recovery and then install you can install the Su files and this is what give's you root access

Right now i am trying to flash cwm through fastboot.
I type in cd Desktop\Android
In there I have this cwm-5.8.0.2-shooter.img. The name is longer but in cmd i type this.
I type in cmd
fastboot flash recovery cmw-5.8.0.2-shooter.img
and it says to me
error: cannot load 'cmw-5.8.0.2-shooter.img'
What is the problem?
Can anyone help me to resolve it?
There is no info about this error in forum.
After I will flash cwm i will install su files.
Ok I see that you flashing the wrong recovery you should be flashing revolutionary's custom recovery cwm doesn't work for the Evo 3D yet go back to the development section and find revolutionary custom recovery oh buy the way take your time don't rush it you want to do this the right way and that means less problems

Hello, I've just received my new HTC EVO 3D after a long time with my loved HTC HD2...
Now I'm searching for tips 'n tricks to do on the EVO 3D something similar to what I successful did on the HD2. But before, I have some questions:
- I've seen a lot of ROMs also for the EVO 3D, but all them supports 3D on screen and camera?
- In your experience with custom roms for EVO 3D, what's the best rom without sense?
-What's the requirements to install a custom rom?
Many thanks in advance
Sorry for my bad english.
If the ROM is based on official stock firmware then yes, it will fully support 3D. Leedroid is IMO the best out there.

Uhm I realized that my phone has already installed "something" inside.. it's most likely an used phone:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.49.0018
eMMC-boot
Oct 3 2011, 15:03:01
This is what I see pressing power button+volume down at phone turned off.
What I should do?
There aren't yet some ICS preview-based ROMs with working 3D due to the HTC announce of an official ICS update for the EVO 3D?
That's not a new phone, somebody has HTCDev unlocked it. However this is actually quite good as you can now install a custom recovery and then either:
Install a custom ROM and kernel image manually or
S-Off the device after a hboot downgrade and install roms easier.
As you are a GSM EVO 3D user you have access to a couple very good ICS roms however none at the moment support the camera or Bluetooth (or playback of 3D media for that matter). As you concluded its because HTC are yet to release official ICS for devs to port the libraries and drivers from.

3. that you are s-off and a custom recovery. like 4ext (tha best)
check the sticky threads, i guess, you're italian so u have gsm version http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1230
Understood a thanks+ given for your patience.
I'll wait for official ICS due to the BT+3D support, sad to see that there's not a completely functional MIUI rom for the EVO 3D... I've used many fantastic MIUI based ROMs on the HD2...
I've read about the dangerous HBOOT live CD downgrade procedure that allow EVO 3D users to downgrade from HBOOT 1.50 to 1.40 and switching the flash security to S-OFF (a thing I've never heard on HD2)... what this means in terms of advantages for me? What changes between a phone with S-OFF and another with S-ON?
And I read that if I choose to unlock the flash security (S-OFF), I should before return to an HTCDev lock status... how can I perform this?

I think there is a very good MIUI ROM available but it only supports camera if you have a 5+2 megapixel version instead of the older 5+5 megapixel version.
An HTCDev unlock has already been performed on your phone so that part isn't an issue, have to admit I've never hears of a live cd downgrade for GSM versions.

To check what camera you have in your phone, try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482664
Scroll down a bit to where it says "Camera checking".
If you have S-ON you have to either use an app made by a recognized developer Joeykrim to flash kernels, or you have to use fastboot command (while connected by a USB cable to a computer) in ADB. You cannot use the normal way of flashing kernels in recovery, as that will leave you with an endless bootlooping phone. (And, i dont think S-ON can flash a new splash screen? Someone confirm please)
If you are S-OFF, you can basicly do whatever you want, whatever way you want. No need for USB cables, apps and such. Just boot into recovery and flash what you want.
Very nice, I need the S-OFF lol
I should search a procedure for S-OFF my GSM EVO 3D.
The "Camera Checking" app isn't anymore on the play store, so I can't download it.
No problem, I'll test directly the ROM on my phone to check it after done the S-OFF.
Any suggestion to S-OFF an EVO 3D GSM?
@e3d & @Atomix87: seems that you have a GSM one with S-OFF, which procedure you used?

I'm almost certain the live cd is only for CDMA. To achieve S-Off with my EVO 3D I downgraded my hboot via this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535987 make sure you completely and thoroughly read the entire thread through before attempting any of it.
I'm reading it, but i think some points are useless for me.. my phone has already the bootloader unlocked "HTC way" and root access on stock rom.
So, please confirm this, I need only to follow the third procedure (third post) on thread you linked me: "Downgrading your HBOOT".
Where I can find the CID code?
Flash maniac ( XDA member ) has an downgrade guide so that you will have an hboot version that you can s-off.
Hello to all,
I've been searching but as i'm noob in this, i have to open new post and hope to get some help...
I recently bought an EVO 3D (according to information on "phone identify" is model X515m) that have this:
*** LOCKED ***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT -1.49.0018
eMMC-boot
Oct 3 2011, 15:03:01
The Software Informations shows this:
Android version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense version: 3.0
From what i seen on other posts, this phone is locked, so if i want to change firmware i need to get S-OFF and make it UNLOCKED...
My questions are:
1. Since i bought this phone on ebay and don't have Portuguese PT-PT language, can i change firmware to have Portuguese?
2. Does i already have the last firmware?
3. Should i upgrade to another firmware that is improved? Battery with this one don't last much.
Thank you!

The one and only guide for s-off with the wire trick is here.
You don't need a rooted rom (according the description you don't even should use one).
I've done the wire trick to get s-off on 2 different phones now, there's no need to flash a special rom, just stay stock.
