Yes. These instructions on Good and Evo with links to what you need will work with any Evo 3D that is S-Off, regardless of the bootloader level. Just make sure to flash the RUU with a signed stock bootloader before you set S-On or you will brick your phone.

[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
Okay, I have a new phone from Sprint with Hboot 1.5. I see the instructions for the Evo 3d and it doesn't say I need to use the HTCdev unlock? Is this correct, or can I go ahead and try this unlock method without having it applied. I don't wanna brick my phone, and the Evo 3d instructions don't really mention it to much.
[HTC EVO 3D] evomike77:
Prerequisites

In order to use JuopunutBear you must meet the following pre-requisites:

Be unlocked using the HTCdev bootloader unlock Be on the stock ROM and be rooted (have superuser and/or an unsecured boot image installed) Some custom ROMs may work, however we cannot verify them all. If you are not using a stock ROM and have problems then thisis mostlikelythe reason.

Have a spare microSD card or to have backed up all contents of your SDcard, the card may be wiped, while we try to restore the card to it’s original state is is possible that this will not succeed Have fastboot and adb drivers installedandworking (windows) Have usb debugging enabled Remove and potentially interfering phone software which such as HTC sync, Andro sync, PDAnet etc, iTunes has also been noted to cause issues. Have a legth of insulated wire of sufficient length to join the contact points for your device. See images and videos for device specific information.
[HTC EVO 3D] zbergmark:
Fortunately when you hardbrick your phone, and take it to the Sprint store, and say your phone isn't functioning properly (at all) they should replace it.

Video

Question...has anyone made a video on this procedure?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes, but I haven't seen one for the EVO 3D yet. Go to the unlimited.io website and look at the device specific instructions for another phone like the HTC Sensation. The contact points aren't in the same place, but the procedure is similar for all devices.

Edit: Found this video on YouTube. It's for the HTC Amaze, but shows more of the process than the ones on the unlimited.io website.

[HTC EVO 3D] jae-v:
excellent video thanks a lot....if the instructions were more clear on this i'm sure it would be stickied by now
[HTC EVO 3D] djaykid11:
anyone attempted this on infected eternity 3.0?

[HTC EVO 3D] evomike77:
If I were you I would do it with stock rooted Rom, far less chance of issues, just restore you current set up when done with the process.
[HTC EVO 3D] TODDzillaInLA:
I am now HB1.5 S-OFF

THANK YOU GUYS!
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Great! Glad it worked for you. :)

Saw your post over on theMikMik.com and was hoping it would go smoothly for you.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] TODDzillaInLA:
smoothly no, lol really sketchy at times =( but now that i went through the whole process its not that big of a deal =)

just loaded mikv1.01 and everything works!!! all my issues are BYE BYE
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I'm running MeanROM ICS as my main ROM and mikVirgin 1.01 in a Boot Manager slot. You might want to take a look at that app once you get used to being S-Off as it's really pretty cool and seems to work well with the ICS and GB ROM's.

[HTC EVO 3D] TODDzillaInLA:
i went to show my friend that my phone is now s off and i noticed it says locked at the top???

i did the htc unlock method fastboot flash Unlock_Code.bin before doing the wire trick but i cant recall if it said locked or unlocked but now my phone is locked s-off...
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
No need to worry. Locked is good, since that's the stock status and S-Off "trumps" the bootloader unlock. If you need to return your phone to completely stock for warranty service or to pass it on to someone that doesn't want to deal with custom ROM's you can load the currrent RUU (2.17.651.5 for now) then use the writesecureflg option of the fastboot command to set S-On for the radio and it will be completely stock like it just came from the factory. :)

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] leenypost:
Can u explain how to use the writesecureflg option? Trading in 3d tomorrow and want it to look completely stock
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Sure. It's pretty well explained in this Good and Evo article.

Make sure you flash a stock RUU with a signed bootloader before you do the writescureflag command. If you have a modified 1.4 or 1.5 bootloader installed it will brick your phone.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] leenypost:
Thank you. If I read this right I just need to install the RUU and then use fastboot / adb to type commands listed and it's all over, correct?

I currently have hboot 1.5 with s-off through the method in this thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes. After you install the RUU and before you do the writesecureflag command, go into your bootloader and make sure that it shows:

*** LOCKED ***

SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.50.0000

If it looks like that, you're ready to do the fastboot command, which should change "S-OFF" to "S-ON'.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] StevetotheH:
Where it points at the pin there are two holes, it's the one on the right! After five try's on the left, once on the right got it done! Thanks for the method! If you would like me to write the instructions in English, fully and post a clean picture of the pin just let me know, least I can do.
[HTC EVO 3D] fanesxx:
First try!!!!!

You guys are the best just got it done first try

it better to lay the wire on the (gnd) connection then your hear it disconnect, which means it works

now it's time for more beer
[HTC EVO 3D] jae-v:
that would be great, i know i'd really appreciate it
[HTC EVO 3D] sdwyz74:
Emergency please help now!!!!!!!!!!!

Well im in the middle of the process and it wants me to do the wire trick but like an idiot i left the back on ??? Is it ok to unplug the usb cord and take the back off ??? Please advise now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] TODDzillaInLA:
im not 100 percent sure, but i read somewhere if you pull the usb off by accident its permanently bricks the phone, i hope im wrong
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That may be recoverable using this advice from the HTC Amaze thread on JuopunutBear.

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

You should be able to restart the ControlBear utility if you haven't done the wire trick yet and it will determine where you left off.

[HTC EVO 3D] TODDzillaInLA:
Whew! (wiping sweat off forehead) =)
[HTC EVO 3D] sdwyz74:
YES SIR i did and it did me dirty it went threw then said success and at the last minute said failed and gave an error code
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
What was the error code? You may have to try the wire trick a few times before it works.

Hey there

I have an I9000T with Darkys 9.2 rom

I have gone into the service menu and set my band to the following

GSM

900

COMBI

GSM 900

DCS 1800

WCDMA 850

Problem is this seems to reset every time I change from GSM to WCDMA or GSM/WCDMA

Or at least everytime I turn the phone off on

Is there anyway to hack this so it stops changing to the defaults?

[Optimus 7 General] vitucho:
Hello guys,

I have a LG E900 unlocked from Telefonica Spain and I live in Lima - Perú (southamerica), I have problems with MMS and 3G network, I can navigate on internet by EDGE but the speed is terrible.

On MFG application I can't find my mobile operator and I can't set up the network profile because my operator doesn't appear in the list :(

I have read that if I make a hard reset on the phone, in the first boot the Phone catch the network parameters (including MMS and 3G) from the carrier (from my SIM carrier), it's true?

Or are there any way to modify manually the xml network configuration file in order to set the correct parameters in all the fields?

I will really appreciate your help.

Thank you
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
All you need to do is set ADC on, and soft reset, then you are good to go. You need to go to Engineer Menu>Other Settings>Set ADC. Alternatively, you can download the network app from the LG store in the Marketplace, and it will set ADC to ON upon first time running the app...

Hope it helps.
[Optimus 7 General] vitucho:
Hi kapanak, I just tried your advice few minutes ago but the problem continue happend, I've tried with soft a hard reset and in both cases set ADC to ON doesn't work. My carrier have to send me the data in a special format or stuff like that?

Is it possible to change the parameters of xml network profile file by myself?

Just in case: what do you mean with "soft reset"? turn off and then turn on the phone?

How can I change proxy settings on this phone? In this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843517 in the #3 it is mentioned some way to set the proxy and port settings on a samsung focus, I thinks these settings are missing on my LG Optimus 7 and that is why I can't access to 3G Network. some ideas?

Thank you for your answer
[Optimus 7 General] barovidiu:
After you set ADC on, try to change sim (from another operator), restart, let it connect, and after that, insert back your sim. After restart go to settings, celular, data conection on and it should work.

Be sure if you have 3G network in your area...
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Yes, I forgot to mention you need to swap SIM cards in order for the above to work. And make sure you take out the battery or you WILL short circuit the SIM, and your phone.
[Optimus 7 General] vitucho:
Thank you kapanak for your answer but It didn't work, I couldn't connect to 3G network and I still seeing the same network parameters (proxy and port) on my network xml file (throught MFG). Are there any way to modify these parameters directly on xml network file?

I guess that my carrier (Claro - Perú) is not able to send the autoconfig information in WP7 format.

Thank you
[Optimus 7 General] GolfVR6:
Have you tried to manually put the Claro APN? I used to do that here in Brazil and at least the 3G worked.

Try to do this:

Settings > Cellular > add apn, and then:

APN: claro.pe or wap.claro.pe (I found both on Bing)

User name: claro

Password: claro

And I think that's it.

PS.: My E900 only start to get automatic setup through ADC after I flashed my Orange-FR phone with an Open-EU ROM found here on XDA, before this, I used to manually set the APN and worked well, only the MMS was missing.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palen222:
After much searching and work on fixing my bricked captivate, i broke down and bought a jig from mobiletechvideos.com. It works perfectly as intended, except for the fact that my pc is not recognizing the phone after it enters download mode. As a side note, i may have royally screwed up when i did something in clockwork recovery, where now i cant even get past the ATT World phone boot screen. Im afraid i may have deleted anything that can mount the phone to the pc. I have already installed the proper drivers, I think. Anything i can do to fix this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
So it shows the world phone screen a bunch of times? Plug it into an outlet see if the green battery comes up, just wait for it, the Gray battery will do a short of loop a few times... Once its at the green battery try to turn the phone on, be patient too, if you get the phone on, go to settings> privacy then factory data reset, make sure you backup to external or computer first

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarlowXim:
Try cleaning the mini usb port. Or switch the usb cord connector the samsung factory one tends to break the data + and -.

As for not getting past the at&t screen. The kernel you installed cannot read the system partition probably corrupted or the kernel you installed cannot read ext4.

If you cannot get it to be recognized send it back to your carrier for repair, should be under warranty.

Way over my head again, just a question:

Is there an official update for my CDMA HTC Desire? I am using it with Open Mobile in Puerto Rico. 2.05.10.08.11 is the baseband, 2.1 update1. It does not want to update anything, says it's all updated.

OK. I have been searching all over the place, and there were solutions, but my phone will not listen to me.

On the 2nd part, it will not allow me to mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system.

The terminal emulator is not receiving the "superuser permission", since it's not even asking for the superuser permission.

I did not deny the app nor ignore. I tried reinstalling the terminal emulator, same thing happens.

Also I downloaded ROM Manager. It downloaded me the flashclockworkmod recovery, but it will not reboot into that. Instead it shows the regular recovery mode, and when I try to install the update.zip manually, the error shows again despite the fact that I did all the parts except the 2nd step, because my terminal emulator kept getting denied access when I entered that in.

Please help me. I don't know what hard life my phone is going through.

My phone is rooted. It has superuser app, along with other apps that require superuser permissions.

How would I have done step 3 without my phone being rooted? if by using root explorer?

I just stated that Terminal Emulator is not receiving the "superuser permission".

I don't know how to manually give Terminal Emulator the "Superuser permission" since, it is not asking me for it, as previously in Eclair.

because they asked for su permission.

But on the terminal emu, it does not even ask for a su permission.

to do unrooted you use adb to push

or root it then use root explorer to drop new 3e fix

try uninstalling terminal em and reinstall. you might have pressed back when it asked the first time, that will screw you

Does anyone know of a utility to reset the internal GPS completely?

I use location-based tools all the time, and this annoying GPS failure in EC05 is a real PITA.

I know some folks have had some luck doing a "cold start" using the GPS Status utility, but this has not worked for me.

Symptoms are that the GPS works fine for a while, then loses lock. Going into GPS status reveals no satellites visible at all, and the GPS icon on the notification bar is gone..

Using Menu/Tools/Manage A-GPS state I have tried both reseting the state (cold start) and downloading assistance data. Turning the GPS off and on again also does nothing. OTOH, if I simply reboot the phone, the GPS comes back right away.

Many have reported this issue was fixed in EB13, but came back in EC05. I'm running SRF 1.1 right now, but I also had this problem in the stock EC05 that I received OTA.

Having the GPS just work properly all the time would be ideal. But short of that, being able to restart it from scratch without having to reboot the phone would be an acceptable workaround. Even a command-line utility would be better than nothing.

To those still having this issue, what method did you use to get to EC05?

It came back in ec05 because people didn't use the fixes we used in going from di18 > dk28 > eb13. Search these threads and do what we did and you won't have the problem either.

I was on whatever the stock Eclair release was out of the box -- bought the phone literally the day after Sprint suspended the EB13 OTA rollout.

I got EC05 pushed to me OTA a month later. GPS had the same issue on Eclair and EC05.

To get from the OTA EC05 to SRF I had to Odin back to EB13, but I only had EB13 on the phone for a few minutes -- did not test the GPS behavior.
