Mean Rom ICS 2.6

hardware version 0002

android version 4.0.3

HTC Sense 3.6

kernel 3.0.16-g4211684

[HTC EVO 3D] SgtMacabre:
wire trick

worked well.....

EVO 3D CDMA Virgin mobile ICS Hboot 1.57.5757 S-OFF!!!!

thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] evomike77:
I would suggest stock gb rooted Rom
[HTC EVO 3D] chiweed:
Not Bad

I took all the updates from the Sprint OTA and was at HBOOT 1.58

I then did the Juopunutbear for said HBOOT and now I have S-OFF with HBOOT 1.58.5858

So I would say that is a success! :victory:
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Thanks for the update. It's good to know that there is a version specifically for the Sprint OTA on the unlimited.io website now.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] DHSoccer4:
so you had which HBOOT before you flashed the OTA?

im assuming you had a stock rooted 2.17 ROM with S-on (HTCDEV) HBOOT 1.50, you relocked the device flashed a sprint RUU then got the OTA. relocked it and ran the wire trick?
[HTC EVO 3D] Bdozier:
Globatron, thanks for a great and easy way to get S-Off!

Once I got my phone running the stock ROM, the wire trick was successful the first attempt! Got my hboot updated to 1.58 as well!

Thanks!!! :highfive:
[HTC EVO 3D] chiweed:
I had HBOOT 1.5 before I took the Sprint OTA of ICS.

I locked the bootloader using fastboot then ran the 2.17 Gingerbread RUU to get back to stock.

I then updated the phone with ICS that Sprint was pushing out.

I was updated to HBOOT 1.58 with 2.89 framework and new radios.

I unlocked the bootloader using the HTC Dev site, installed 4EXT Recovery and then installed root.

Then the guys at Juopunutbear released an update to do the Sprint HBOOT 1.58 so now I am S-OFF!

Here is where I'm at:

=JuopunutBear=

SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.58.5858

[HTC EVO 3D] BL4zD:
I'm at hboot 1.50 is there any reason to update to 1.58 if I've got the newest radio and ICS with s-off?
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Only needed if you want.to run the stock 2.89 based kernel (vm ics leak kernel works with older hboots). Otherwise you r fine as is.

Sent from my "Up all night, Sleep all day" EVO3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] waltnich:
I did an now I'm stuck.

Somehow can't get titanium or clockwork etc to load. Same error - needs root.

Was fine with closeone's s-off 1.4 etc.

I then returned to s-on & 1.5 relocked etc to do the official ics update. updated all ok.

Now I want root again. closeone's method wont work now so i started the wire trick method, did htc unlock ok but can not get recovery.

Any ideas? thanx
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
How are you flashing recovery? Have you tried putting the phone into fastboot USB mode then flash a recovery using the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command from a PC with ADB/fastboot/drivers installed? If you can get that to work the next step would be to flash a rooted stock rom to prepare for the wire trick.

[HTC EVO 3D] waltnich:
Mahalo. This is where I am lost. I need precise steps. I am skipping something and ha not found something i trust specific to this.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
This post should help you with flashing the recovery. It's part of a thread that has a lot of good information about rooting, hboots, and a bunch of other stuff.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] waltnich:
Oh yea! Gems - another big thanx M8ty.

Do you think going right to the wire trick after rooting using HTC Unlock method?

(S-ON is not supposed to matter since the HTC Unlock method is supposed to give a fully unlocked bootloader)

I'd installed su-2.3.6.3 then 3.0 - With neither can I update the binary because not rooted.

:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] AngelComa:
No idea where to post this, so I'll try here since I unlocked and rooted it though this method. How do I get it back to factory settings? Basically I have to take my phone in to get repaired and they said they aren't allowed to touch rooted/jailbroken phones. Told me to take it back and get it to factory settings.

I found a old thread but the RUU image links where broken (since filesonic doesn't do sharing, only uploads)

[HTC EVO 3D] AngelComa:
The only issue now is that I can't get S-On security stuff to re-lock because the RUU's are hosted on Filesonic and that is down. Anyone have a link to it?

You can get the most recent (2.89 ICS) RUU from the link in this post.

I have ZR3D on my phone ICS. Whats a good rooted ICS stock rom to put on my phone (unlocked) so I can do the wire trick? I have the new 2.89 hboot 1.58 RUU but that isn't rooted isn't it? Thanx in advance!:D
[HTC EVO 3D] AngelComa:
If I use this RUU, do I need to have the ICS official rom installed?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
No, you just need to be S-OFF or have locked/relocked bootloader if S-ON.

Hi all, not sure what I'm doing wrong but I follwed this thing step by step to the tee. My adb folder is all updated but I cant get this dam phone to S-off! I'm on ICS sprint stock rom (rooted) and dev unlocked. Everything goes fine up to the wire trick. then I keep getting "daemon error not running" over and over. Tried so many times to time the wire trick perfectly and still nothing. Is it because I'm on the latest 1.58 hboot and 2.89 stock rom? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!!;)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I'm pretty sure they support the 2.89 stock ROM as long as you get the correct download from the unlimited.io site. Did you download the one labeled "WINDOWS ( Sprint hboot >= 1.58.000 )"?

I'm not familiar with that error but you can try contacting the devs via the #juopunutbear IRC (chat) channel by going to the support page on the website and using the freenode browser interface.

I was HBoot 1.50 s-on stock rom with metro pcs and now i'm s-off w/Juopunutbear HBoot 1.50. Had I known that using JB's HBoot would kick my metroflash in the balls I would of held out on it. But now I'm S-OFF and its reflashed to Metro PCS.

Now on the hunt for a good smooth rom for this bad boi.
[HTC EVO 3D] waltnich:
No beer for bear tonight . . .

Well, since last friday a week ago since the start of my quest to do the ol' wiretrick. And I had more half bricks and lost SD than a man ever deserves. I pounded the pavements all over this forum and that all week. And I finally got to the root (no pun intended) of my woes.

Maybe others can benefit from this one.

After I'd taken the OTA I had some unstable issues, the least of which was BT which is very important 2me when driving.

I'd picked up the OTA_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2-2.17.651.5 and flashed Virus' BT fix and was a happy camper.

Now ready to add the extra freedom of S-OFF I was determined to go the wiretrick method after having done the brick your phone downgrade epic journey already, before restoring for the OTA.

Well it isn't easy finding those little snippits of juopunutbear help - wherz da link? but finally at some point I found this one at http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/troubleshooting/ - and here I finally got my answer.

ControlBears says backup failed.If you are using a custom rom, this is the casuse.

ControlBear says secondary backup failedIf you are using a custom rom, this is the casuse.

Somewhere along the way - and I had at one time gotten all the way thru the wire trick only 4it 2 close without proper exit.. but mostly before wiretrick. But ahh - numerous backup and secondary backup failures. I never considered this a custom rom.

So now I am back outa the woods unlocked with S-ON.

I hope this turns on a lightbulb 4atleast one stuck in the mudd'er.
[HTC EVO 3D] whiteflashe90:
Need some huge help. I followed the Juopunutbear s-off wire trick and installed the juopunutbear hboot.

I'm running a cool ICS rom & is working fine.

HOWEVER, I just learned that I can not look at work e.Mail through some software called GOOD because it knows my phone is rooted.

How do I get back to stock & upgrade to the new Sprint ICS software?

I've been reading the forums all day & am afraid I'll do something wrong.

[HTC EVO 3D] slumley1:
I'm having lots of problems here and am hoping someone can help me. This threads been great so far at getting me through some of my issues.

I got my Evo 3d with hboot 1.58 unlocked, S-off and the hboot replaced with juopunutbear hboot.

The problem I'm having since this process is the sd card. The one I used is fried and has gone from 8gb to 64k. I tried another and it got fried. All I did was put it in and boot it up. It won't mount and the computer won't even accept it. I tried a 3rd one as well and the same thing happened. Why is my phone frying sd cards just by putting them in and starting them up. I'm running MeanRom. I there's a kernal issue though because the wifi and 4g don't work. I'll have to do some more research about those issues though.

How do I fix the sd card issue? If I wipe the phone and still can't get the sd card to work I'll have no way of installing another rom. Even 4ext recovery won't recognize the sd card or mount.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Since you are S-Off, try flashing the 2.89 RUU.exe from Windows without any SD card in the phone, then try mounting your SD card with the completely stock system after the RUU flashes your phone. If that doesn't work, you have a hardware problem with the phone.

It might also be a good idea to reformat the SD card on a PC before trying it in the phone with the 2.89 build.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] slumley1:
How do I flash the 2.89 RUU from Windows? I assume I put it in my C:Andriod folder but what commands do I type from the cmd prompt? Sorry for such a basic question.

Also, Windows won't open or format any of the cards I've put in my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You will find that information in mpgrimm2's guide.

Try formatting the SD card in an external reader or another device. It really sounds like you might have a problem with the SD card reader in your phone.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] slumley1:
Thanks. Could the wire trick have caused this? I didn't have any problems with my sd cards until I did the wire trick this morning.

Edit: It's not a hardware problem. I wiped everything and then put a card in and booted to 4EXT and it was able to mount. I was able to drag the d3rp rom to the card since I'm still waiting for the 2.89 ruu to download to my computer. If I still have issues, I'll wipe again and flash 2.89 RUU once it's done downloading. Thanks for the help.

Edit x 2: After flashing d3rp everything works perfect. Even wifi and 4g are working again. Thanks for the help (read - thanks for giving me the courage to wipe all with my card reader not working).
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I doubt it. The wire trick may corrupt the SD card used during the process but I've always been able to reformat it on a PC afterwards.

So far so good --- really nice to see the S-OFF tag. However, when I try to flash a recovery image in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) I get the following error:

sending 'recovery' (5132 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.532s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 1.538s

Tried various recovery images, same outcome. I'm starting to wonder if I'm really still S-OFF despite what it says and whether I need to redo the wire trick to gain a clear path to root again.

Any troubleshooting ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I just ran into this myself recently. The Jbear process sets your bootloader to locked status even though it has to be HTC unlocked as a prerequisite to doing the wire trick. A locked, stock bootloader supports very basic fastboot commands like "devices" but not the more useful commands like "boot" and "flash".

See this post for more detail on this issue and this post to download a modified bootloader that will enable those commands with a locked bootloader status. I recommend the engineering (ENG) bootloader if you plan to run GB and AOSP ROM's, and the JBear Sprint ICS (1.58.5858) bootloader if your are only planning to run ICS Sense based ROM's.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
It sure looks like you have a PG86IMG.zip file in the root of your original SD card with a complete firmware update, including the bootloader. If you do, delete that and try starting the bootloader with that card installed again.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] rotor nuts:
i did have one. removed and all seems kosher now. thanks!

i put it there while trying to find a work around for my failed attempts at getting s-off. it didnt cause a "problem" until i got s-off though, any reason for that?

The boootloader won't flash PG86IMG.zip files unless you are S-OFF.

ok. after many tries i finally got this working and thought i'd share my experience in case anyone was having troubles. i did the wire trick as instructed. took about three times to get the timing right. everything finally went through. i was using meanrom GB 4.5 because it's pretty much stock. flashed freeza's firmware update with the new hboot. i am now s off with h boot 1.58 locked. flashed swags new rom with anthrax kernel. wouldnt boot otherwise. make sure if you were s on and using 4ext recovery that you disable smartflash and flash the 2.89 kernel separately. just take your time and dont freak out.
[HTC EVO 3D] dub2501:
this is a long shot, but maybe someone might be able to offer me advice for the sitation I've created myself. I tried to run this application. All went well until I got a "failed to start daemon" exit - now when I restart my phone, I can only get to the "juopunutbear' splashscreen. I can flash 4ext recovery, I can run my "restore" and it shows that it successfully restores the image but when It attempts to reboot I can only get to the juopunutbear load screen again. I turned the smartflash update off in 4ext and restored with the same results. I also flashed a TWRP recovery and tried to install a ICE ZIP ROM, again, successful message, but I can't boot. Is there any way around this?

I attempted to run the 'controlbear' tool again but I can't get past the failed daemon msg and I can't boot past the install screen, I'm really stuck.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Did you download the version of JBear for Sprint ICS and start with an HTC unlocked phone and a stock rooted ROM? You cannot run the controlbear utility sucessfully if you only HTC unlock and aren't already rooted. The purpose of this procedure is to gain S-OFF, not to root the ROM.

The prerequisites are listed on the first page of instructions on the unlimited.io website.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] godzilladad:
i use htc dev to unlock it, i used mean rom v2.4, and i thought i was rooted was i did the dev unlock
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
MeanROM 2.4 is not a stock ROM and is based on the VM leak build and not the Sprint ICS build. I would suggest that you download and flash a true Sprint ICS stock rooted ROM from this post, and make sure you watch the screen after starting the controlbear utility because you will need to respond to root requests.

It might also be worth going to the unlimited.io site and reading the instructions thoroughly, as following the instructions as written is critical to this process going smoothly.

I have ics hboot 1.58 trying to unlock bootloader an get root an get s-off can some one help. please an Thank you
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
This usually means that the controlbear utility can't get root access to do its backup. Make sure the stock ROM is rooted using the Root Checker app from the Play Store, then restart controlbear and watch for prompts for superuser access on the phone's screen.

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

Which RUU are you running and what message do you get when it fails. Also, if you can boot into the bootloader manually (remove/replace battery then VolumeDown+Power) and post the information from there that would help.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] donbudafuko:
I think its the 2.08 I think its the only one icould find. Am I using the wrong one? The message is something about the recovery. When I go to the recovery the only thing I ge is a black screen with a phone in the middle an a triangle an explanation mark in the middle.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You should never even see the recovery screen if you are running the RUU.exe from Windows.

Download the 2.89.651.2 RUU.exe from one of the links in this post, then flash it from Windows. Make sure you bootloader is relocked (fastboot oem lock) if your are S-ON, and that your phone is connected to the PC in the bootloader "fasboot USB" mode.

If you need more information about this process mpgrimm2's guide is a good reference.

This thread still seems active, That's good.

I'm finally about to go through with this, I've downloaded the ICS version and the stock ICS rooted deodexed rom that was posted in the thread somewhere. The only things I'm worried about is being stuck on the juopunutbear screen and not being able to recover.

I've seen people mention you can type controlbear-f/r or something to recover to stock bootloader is the process doesn't go as planned. Is this confirmed? I read 23 pages of the thread, I could'nt real all 72 before i asked haha. People ask much more terrible questions than that.
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
I just battery pulled every time
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes that will work to recover from a failed controlbear S-OFF attempt as documented on the unlimited.io troubleshooting page. The "-r" parameter is used if the phone is on the JuopunutBear screen and the "-f" parameter is used if the phone is in the "fastboot USB" mode.

Hopefully things will go really well and you won't need to use either. :)

Just finished flashing the stock rooted ICS rom, First time I've seen it say many of those things, Like Flashing Kernal, In the recovery. odd...

Edit: [Q] Can I just get 4ext back and restore my Nand after I finish this? Or will I have to start over? Because I had I SERIOUSLY modded ROM.

I even edited the build.prop to put my name on the ROMname [= (That's okay to do isn't it?? haha)

Sidenote question: How modded does a rom have to be to call it your own? Or do I have to build it from the ground up??

Back on track, Waiting on the first boot of rooted stock rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Those are comments in the stock updater script that is part of the ROM .zip file. A lot of ROM developers don't bother putting them into the custom ROM's.

I can indeed do this with 1.58/2.89 right? that's why I didn't do it as soon as the OTA was released because I had just gotten a new phone with the official ICS when my old phone (same model) I had done the downgrade method.
