One month after i bought it, my ShooterU has got a MB replacement (RMA)
And now it's impossible for me to unlock bootloader with the htcdev method.
Is there another way to make it possible (Evo3d with stock ICS) ?
Thank you for helping me, i'm furious with it.
Post in q&a not development !

HTCDev unlock method doesn't work on phones with replaced motherboards. You're out of luck, sorry.
it's called bad blocks. nothing you can do about it ...
Can't you use juopunutbear and do the wire trick?

I think it's a good idea to try the juopunutbear, but i need to have temp root at least.
And all temp root i find are made for Gingerbread.
Does anyone know a temp root method for ICS ?
Thank you
Questions and non-development related should be posted in the appropriate sections. This thread is not dev related, so I'm moving it.
So there isn't another method to unlock my bootloader ? Htcdev is the only way to do this ? What does it mean ?
My evo 3d is unrootable ? The bootloader still be blocked forever ?
Please help me not to sell it ! Thank you

Unless Unlimited.io releases a version of controlbear that works on just temp root, nothing can be done.
Such a method already exists for the HTC Sensation.

I don't believe there's a temp root technique that works on the Evo 3D anyway, but if you know of one some users here have been looking for it for other reasons, especially one that works with ICS.
The Evo 3D is definitely not the same phone as the Sensation and has different capabilities and limitations.

I agree. Only speculating.
Doesn't TPSparkyRoot work?
Try this:
To root:
Code:
adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp.orig"
adb shell "mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.orig"
adb shell "rmdir /data/local/tmp"
adb shell "ln -s /data /data/local/tmp"
adb shell "rm /data/local.prop"
adb shell "chmod 777 /data/local/"
adb shell "echo ro.kernel.qemu=1 > /data/local/local.prop"
adb reboot
adb shell "chmod 777 /data/local/local.prop"
adb shell "mv /data/local/local.prop /data/local.prop"
adb reboot
It's okay if the "adb shell rm" or "adb shell rmdir" commands fail.
To unroot:
Code:
adb shell "rm /data/local.prop"
adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp"
adb shell "mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp"

Never heard of that for the Evo 3D. If you can post a link I'll give it a try if it's compatible with the CDMA Evo 3D. Mostly people are looking for it so they can backup a stock unrooted ROM with Titanium Backup before they root and S-OFF.

Instructions are above. But it needs to be tried on LOCKED S-ON E3D.
Temp root is unstable, the only thing you can see on the phone is the statusbar.
You can't use the phone till temproot is removed, only use adb commands.
You can probably adb pull /data & restore it later.

I'm out of thanks right now, but appreciate your posting that.
Being S-OFF already via JuopunutBear I'm not as anxious to try it since it requires going back to S-ON, but maybe someone who is currently S-ON on an Evo 3D would be willing to test. I'm assuming that it shouldn't matter if the phone is a GSM or CDMA model based on the commands above.

Yes, that's right, it doesn't matter.
That is basically the TPSparkyRoot exploit, but I've modified it slightly.
Hope it does work.
If it doesn't, whoever tries it, please post the error message.

i am willing to test this.i have gsm evo 3d with hboot 1.5(OTA ICS),LOCKED S-ON.but i have some questions:
1)when i execute those commands should i be in fastboot usb or just connect the phone in charging mode and with usb debugging checked?
2)if i sucesfully temp root what can i do in order to perm root my phone?
THANKS!!!

1) adb access required. Hence, charging mode with USB Debugging enabled.
2) You cannot permanently root without an unlocked bootloader or S-OFF.

Very little. You can probably make backup of your data.
You can get root access via adb shell. But what you can do is limited.
The most this will establish is whether or not the E3D can be temprooted or not.

Could he push an "su" binary to the system partition while he has temp root?

Short story is, I got a DNA off of Craigslist for cheap that was stuck in fastboot mode and would not RUU. Its S-ON/Relocked/Tampered. After trying many things, I flashed a 2.06 update zip, and now it boots into a custom ROM that already has working root access. Looks like someone tried to put it back to a stock state but relocked it preamturely.
Now that I am back into a bootable state, neither Revone or Moonshine will work to get S-OFF so I can clean up the mess. Moonshine fails at 'launching temproot -> waiting 10 seconds -> Error; run distiller again' , and Revone auto-reboots after running ./revone.dna -P, and I've tried all the tricks in that thread here. I've factory reset/powered down and tried ad nauseum, with no luck.
My next line of thinking is, since it already has a working root, is it possible to have Moonshine bypass the temproot process? Or is it somehow possible to reflash a stock 2.06 system image? (I know there is no RUU yet.)
Since I did successfully flash the 2.06 update, which would restore the kernel and all that, Any suggestions on what to try next?
[EDIT] SOLVED!! I had to manually supercid and then unlock the bootloader via htcdev (most folks in a similar situation as I was would likely need temproot first.). After, I was able to S-OFF via facepalm.
Big thanks to Zanzibar in freenode #moonshiners for the tip!!

fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxxx if you have issues with revone, try typing "su" before ./revone -p in shell so it runs as root (if you have root obviously)
Also omitting the "-p" switch might help.

Thanks for your work!
OMG! Thank you so much. i have max one UK hboot 2.47 and this worked in less that 2 mins. now s-off'd
thank you
Tampered message also gone too!
will relock now and see if fingerprint scanner enables.
:laugh:
Edit: re-locked bootloader and now fingerprint scanner works too! also if i unlock, i dont ever get the tampered message again!
thank you so much.
has anyone tested on the HTC One? i dont see a thread there for that but OP says that it should work
Worked like a charm on HTC One (m7ul/International) - ****ing speedy and easy - once I dusted off my adb hahaha.

If you take the phone back to an ATT store for an exchange or to have them fix it, you don't have to return it to stock. they don't check and they don't care. The only time you need to return it to stock is if you are having to send it back to HTC. If at all possible deal with ATT as they will most of the time just hand you a new one while HTC will give you a refurb. You won't get your original back from HTC.

As it is showing your device ID in fastboot mode, your phone is properly connected in fastboot mode. Does the screen say FASTBOOT USB? If yes, you can run RUU.exe file.
Yes it does and can run the ruu.... My issue know is how come adb says device offline with stock rooted Rom but with venom Rom it's connected but doesn't grant root when asked to through adb

how do i achieve s-off on hboot 1.56 ive tried rumrunner,firewater,arhd,venom rom
i think i used firewater for s-off,I unlocked via htc dev and then ran the firewater on numerous htc ones, you do need an unsecured boot image for your device though...root actually isnt needed,is a plus but i didnt root my devices and it worked with just a unsecured boot image I made

Hello everyone I'm a new VZW One Max owner and this device has proven to be the most complicated ive experienced so far in terms of Rooting/Bootloader unlocking/and S-off. (I'm temp rooted with weaksauce 1.0.1)
I cant seem to get the bootloader unlocked via HTCdev, and the firewater and rumrunner do not work for me either .
It seems like every method to help accomplish the above requires an unlocked bootloader, and after reading several threads the tool of choice is firewater.
While reading the thread for firewater I noticed it said it is for HBOOT 2.47, there was a note at the bottom of the thread for 2.49 HBOOT users but while following the instructions from that thread one of the steps was to unlock the bootloader via HTCdev :silly: . And install the Stock HTC 1.19xxxx
How can that be done in my situation?
Ive attached errors i've been experiencing from firewater and rumrunner.
***For rumrunners I'm using the custom device specific download. But i've seen all types of errors from flashing a new kernel to using a more updated version.
Verizon HTC One Max Android Version 4.4.2 with HBOOT 2.49
Thanks for any steps in the right direction!

If you still need help with this, I recently did this on a Verizon One Max, double check the following:
Fastboot mode is off in the power/battery settings
No lock screen security enabled, pattern, pin, face, nothing should be on
Leave the screen on a long timeout, or no timeout for this process, adb may prompt RSA checks you'll need to grant permissions to.
Remove all super user apps, busybox installer apps, supersu, superuser, whatever
Then:
Run weaksauce app
Install supersu from play store or you can adb install the apk if you have the updater zip or apk on your PC
After you have su (# prompt instead of $ after typing su) in adb shell turn off WiFi, leave mobile data on:
adb shell
su
If you see it change to # then proceed, if not, reboot and run weaksauce again, wait for a minute and try the commands again.
Exit adb shell (type exit and hit enter twice)
Push firewater to /data/local/tmp
adb push firewater /data/local/tmp
Set 755 permissions on firewater:
adb shell
su (if not on # prompt, it should still be there)
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
Run firewater (still in shell, don't close the terminal or exit from su/#):
/data/local/tmp/firewater
Last time it froze the first time, then the second try it went through on the second bottle. If you see no improvement after 3 minutes hold power for 60 seconds until it reboots the device, then start again from the weaksauce running part.
Hope this helps. I did it over team viewer with another user and this is what finally got it to get it all finished.
Rumrunner doesn't work with verizon 2.49 that I can tell, it'll be weaksauce and firewater.
