Hey guys I have been wanting to root my DNA so I can put a rom on it. I can't find anything for 4.4.2 with software number 4.09.605. 1. Let me know if yall have a method that will work with this! Thanks!
I've been looking for the same thing. Upgraded to 4.4.2 and now I cant unlock the bootloader. I boot it into recovery and it says I am s-off.

I got mine rooted and s-off. Do the firewater method. It took a bit of common sense to get it all going, but I finally did it. It's not letting me post the link to the video so just DM and I'll get it to you.
You also might wanna learn a bit on entering commands.
Good luck!:good:

Hi Guys,
I just got my EVO 3d Today. Am really excited needless to say.
Ive managed to unlock the boot loader using the official HTC Bootloader unlock tool(Since my software version was 1.20). Now it says unlocked but still has "S ON". Been going crazy for hours now trying to root it. Even tried going into recovery but just get an error symbol.
Would appericiate if anyone can tell me how to go about it or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

easiest way to fix it is to download the stock root 2.3.3 in the devolpement thread and it will give u root after u flash it mape sure u data/wipe and dalvik wipe its in advanced if u need anymore help just pm me
edit: if it still says s-on the go to development thread got to rom guides and use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root its really easy to do

Thanks for the input. The problem is that i can't go into recovery. Every time i try i get a Red Triangle with an !.
I have ONLY used the HTC Dev unlock method and nothing else. Do i need to do/install something more in order to go into recovery?
Just use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root it would be your best bet now i was helping a friend do it the other day and he. Messed but i have a fix if after u do it u get s-off but not root if u need me to help u will going through doing I can but u will have to wait a few hour I am about to go to. Bed u can pm me or hit me up on g+ because my link is in my signature
I shot the maid! What can I say? 3vo shooter
Oh and i can't use revolution because my software number is 1.20.401.2 (When i click on check for updates it says device is up to date) and revolution is only compatible with 1.30.0000 and 1.40.0000
Are u on 2.3.4 or is ur 3vo a gsm phone?

Totally lost here.
Umm... you need to flash a recovery through fast boot...the red triangle means you don't have one... also if you are unlocked push su through adb and you should have root. I never used HTC official unlock but have rooted several phones... after you unlock the bootloader you push su and flash a recovery

from my understanding, once you use the htc unlock method you can't get s-off for now, until theres an exploit found. I followed a vid on htcevohacks.com and got mine rooted using 2.3.4 but I stil have s-on... not sure if it even matters because i can still go into recovery and flash roms.

Unfortunately its for software number 2.08.651.2 and above. Im on 1.20.401.2. Even when i click on check for updates it says device is up to date.
So basically this method can't work for me .
Guys issue resolved. Even though my device was initially unlocked using HTC Official unlock method i just ran revolution, followed the steps and now I'm unlocked AND rooted by revolution. Just wanted to share that.
Thanks for all the help people.

Hey,
My phone says S-Off but above that it says LOCKED. Does that mean I am out of luck because the bootloader is locked? Is this any type of advantage over an S-On phone considering HTC shut us out?
Thanks

if you s-off you should be able to flash a recovery.img in hboot and then flash a rooted rom or root package...regardless of locked or not
but tbh ive never been in that situation so i cant speak from personal experience
maybe someone else can chime in on that

Yeah, I got the phone from a local Verizon employee the day it came out. It came in a white box. Pretty cool that it is S-Off. The plastic faceplate has a crack through it though, I think the quality control might have been skipped on these employee versions. I never dropped it, the crack just appeared.
Anyway back to Roms. I hope it is true that I can just flash a rooted rom. Anybody know for sure?
Is there a way to pull a copy something off of the phone to help with the ongoing s-off efforts?

You'd have to flash a recovery first, but it should work. Only one way to find out.

Ok I'll try that after work today and advise.
I wish I could take a screenshot of the bootloader screen so that you guys can better understand my situation. I'll try to get a camera later and take a photo.
It worked. I am now rooted with TWRP recovery. Thanks guys. Let me know if there is anything I can pull off my phone for you.
The only reason I may switch back to stock is for the international functionality that they say is coming to this phone. I really need that.

what is your hboot?
is it an ENG hboot or is it the stock hboot_1.02.0000?
if ENG you could pull that it could be of use if/when s-off comes for this phone.
BUT it's really not a big deal as I already have a friend who does have the ENG hboot for this phone so he will be giving me it, just wondering if you have it as well, and if they would be the same.

It is stock Hboot.
Does having a locked bootloader limit me in any way?

It might block you from using fastboot commands without a patched hboot. However, I would sacrifice those to keep ***LOCKED*** status.
Hey guys im looking to get help and a tutorial on how to root the 4g lte on 2.13? I've searched online but still haven't found an answer to my question. So if you are reading this let me know how to root it thanks.
Your only option is to use the htcdev.com method. You cannot get s-off though.

Go to htcdev.com and follow the instructions. It's really easy. And there are plenty of tutorials in the development section - stickies.

HTC dev. It's fairly straightforward, then flash recovery and then rooted Rom . At least that's what I done

Unlocking your bootloader using HTCDev Unlock will allow you to flash a custom recovery. With a custom recovery, obtaining root is easy (plenty of flashable ZIPs for this). This has nothing to do with your version of HBOOT (or firmware or OTA version).
Read the guide I linked to above and it will answer these questions...

It's possible right now click the link in my sig the only problem you might run into is HTC-DEV has been hit and miss lately send the unlock code email
After you're rooted, look into going S-off. Well worth the time to get it done

You can still unlock and flash roms with 3.16 s-on it's just harder because you have to fastboot flash the boot.img first if the rom does not have a kernel installer
