[HTC EVO 3D] Phican:
Im going to guess that being its a gingerbread related exploit that it will be found on other phones, like the evo 4g with its last ota, giving people who mistakingly updated another chance to root, still wouldnt even take any actual OTA's anyways, love root waaay too much.

Outside of not releasing the exploit, it could still be compiled via java, meaning it would offer anyone the ability to run the sploit without actually knowing how it works, not that Java is safe from a disassembler, then again nothing is, but here's hoping the exploit is still released in some manner everyone can benefit.

Cant wait to hear what you have to say in IRC at 9:30 Central time, am rather excited.

From an inexperienced User's stand point, at least when it comes to development, what would be your next method of attack after having gained temp root? Rather, would you be looking more at the file system to try and gain permanent root? or would you be looking more at another exploit to get around the locked write of the hboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] smoochiezz24:
Please refer to the opening post

" If you don't know the difference between S-OFF and Root you probably shouldn't be posting in this thread yet, please do some reading first."
[HTC EVO 3D] smoochiezz24:
Is this a credible source? Is he apart of TeamWin? Im following most of the guys that are and have yet to hear any news on this accomplishment.
[HTC EVO 3D] xdviper:
Root but no s-off, I told you guys it wouldn't happen. It's just a temp root and the emmc chip is write protected as long as security is on
[HTC EVO 3D] DomSim:
i can find no posts from teamwin saying they have gotten s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
Nothing yet from them all I see is working on it
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
I think whoever posted that must be mistaken. I have no doubt TeamWin would announce it as soon as they got it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zarboz:
So since.the root renders phone useless if we have s off we can root flash hboot and flash rooted custom functioning ROM ? Or is it deeper than that nevermind.no real s off

[HTC EVO 3D] spiicytuna:
We don't have s-off yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] tjlawson09:
If we have temp root we should have s off cuz we have the engineering hboot. Right?
[HTC EVO 3D] mbh87:
write protection needs to be removed before we can push the engineer hboot. i believe the alpharev team knows of a way to do it with write protection still in place though.
[HTC EVO 3D] agrabren:
(Watch me get banned for this...)

Mod: people are talking about the Sensation in here because we involved them to a degree. I haven't even looked at their forums, and they have questions about fre3vo, which should support them as well.

That's why they keep appearing.
[HTC EVO 3D] kindakrazy:
I take it that fre3vo is the root application/method?
[HTC EVO 3D] mastibeta:
what he said, and i have been working on both, but anyway, is there a good way outside of tweets to contact teamwin with some ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] DomSim:
oh god fre3vo? lol nice.
[HTC EVO 3D] Biofall:
I linked this thread to my buddy from school, knuckles, who has a sensation, because I was under the impression that a rooted shooter would lead to a rooted sensation (confirmed). In the moderator's defense, my friend knuckles didn't read the previous posts or search. In kuckle's defense, there wasn't anything really definitive regarding the Shooter>Sensation domino effect, and this is most likely the best place to have the question answered by someone who knows.

I guess this doesn't put us closer to root, so I accept my ban with grace.
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
As far as I know the one who cracked the e3d does not have the sensation but there's,great devs in both forums so its a matter,of time I may be wrong
[HTC EVO 3D] Stericson:
While I understand that the rooting methods may be similiar or may work for the Sensation, the bottom line is that this is not the Sensation forums.

My previous statement still stands, if you want to discuss the Sensation 4G and whether or not this root method will work for it, go create a thread in the Sensation 4G forums. Posting questions about the Sensation in this thread will run you the risk of a 1 day ban. This thread is for EVO 3D development and it will stay on the topic.
[HTC EVO 3D] agrabren:
Is there a generic HTC dev thread? It seems like either group is the wrong place to host discussion on the rooting technique...

For those interested, on any device, I'll be on IRC freenode in #htc-evo-3d in 30 minutes to talk root.
[HTC EVO 3D] Stericson:
There is a generic Android Development thread. A place like that can be used to discuss both devices if you like.

Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=565

However, by working there, you may end up causing quite a bit of confusion for users with different devices. *shrug* up to you though.
[HTC EVO 3D] agrabren:
Between a full-time job, two toddlers, a wife, and housework, fre3vo barely has the time it needs. Answering the same questions in two forums is more than I want to sign up for. Hopefully, the IRC chat will help.

Fre3vo is the name of the exploit tool. It's not violent, we tossed a grenade at the hole and examined the results. The actual exploit is far safer, and we're not trying to obfuscate it, we're trying to work out the kinks.

Believe me, it working right is worth the day or two.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Instead of fre3vo, I was thinking of fre3Dom for a catchy name (sorry stericson, this just seemed like best place to put this)
[HTC EVO 3D] codito:
Agreed, I hate to wait but what's a day or two, really?
[HTC EVO 3D] Zarboz:
Thank you will fre3vo work for s-off as well or will we still be unable to write to the hboot partition of the emmc.

Will tools like gfree or wpthis assist us in unlockin the emmc for write to hboot? Or am I just talking outta my arse

@Steve (mod)

The above poster is a miracle-working dev working on root for multiple phones, and he wants and needs input from all owners, and he's feeling really hamstrung because of the obsessive constraints that have been placed on the content allowed in this thread, so he's having to resort to extra lengths to get the info he needs.

Just wanted you to know the problem you've created here. This post isn't intended as a whine, rather as a plea. Please open up the rules just a little so Sensation owners can speak up in this thread!

I submit that this post is unarguably dev-related and doesn't deserve a ban. Thank you very much.
[HTC EVO 3D] ax0r:
Hot from the chat the exploit will drop within days so we will all have rooted 3vo's

edit: Apparently at this time it is a temp root, it will become a more permanent root on the stock rom during end of weekend. Only way to currently achieve temp root is through ADB on a computer and an app on the phone so if you restart your phone you lose root until you can do the steps again
[HTC EVO 3D] tylerchvz:
Theres no efuse correct? One of my concerns from the beginning. Sounds like everything that needed to be done, was made possible and now it's a waiting game.
[HTC EVO 3D] mtwalther:
Gaining root & S-Off is amazing. There is a legitimate reason for the devs to not release it quite yet. As much as I want to scream for the zip, I understand their reasoning...As everyone should...
[HTC EVO 3D] Evil Bob:
RE: EFUSE

That is most likely what HTC is working on hard to accomplish right now and the reason why it's taking them so long to do the stupidly easy thing and hand over the signature file that unlocks everything, how to permanently set a marker on the 3vo, where the hardware may not have been designed for such a concept.

I suspect they're looking at permanently burning in a single nand block which is something that can be searched for as writable/non-writable status with a simple tool. The hard part is not damaging the rest of the nand cell which may cause a substantial loss of the total memory available or causing OS issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] tylerchvz:
I knew which post you were refering to Bob. Wasn't considering the hardware aspect of it... Thanks for the insight...
[HTC EVO 3D] manup456:
What is this kinda confused found the link google to be weird http://pastebin.com/wiQc8Mid
[HTC EVO 3D] Stericson:
First of all, don't lecture me about a "miracle-working dev" that needs input from all owners. I know full well what it takes to root devices and what it takes to support multiple devices. I also know, from what I have heard, that this dev did not do this on his own, this has been a TEAM effort. So stop trying to give credit to a single dev.

Second of all, there is a general development area in XDA that he can go to to get information from a multitude of devices. A DEVICE SPECIFIC FORUM is not the place for that. People come here to find information about the EVO 3d, not the Sensation, not the Mytouch 4G or any other device on the market.

Third of all, you are whining and your doing so after I have already stated the rules of the road for a device specific thread.

If this thread continues to fill up with this nonsense, which for the most part lately is not development related, I am just going to close the entire thread and leave it closed until there is something to post that is DEV related.

Stephen

Seriously... Spam much?

Guys really... nothing being posted since Shinzul posted a while back has been remotely helpful.

Remember, this is the dev forum.

As TeamWin:

We haz your rootz.

We are fighting hard to keep your rootz.

We hope to take your pant S-OFF soon.

If you took the OTA, you're safe now but don't do it again. You have been warned.

Be patient. You'll likely see agrabren or shinzul or someone else in TeamWin (our names are here http://teamw.in/) tweet something when we have more news.

Until then... calmate...
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
I believe they said wpthis was fixed a long time ago but not to sure about gfree. That is definitely something to look in to.

I believe it needs a module to be used for it to work so well have to check with the person who created it
[HTC EVO 3D] wake69:
I have a serious question, in regards to htc unlocking phone, will there be a hardware watermark that i have heard about that will show that the phone has been rooted and voids the warranty
[HTC EVO 3D] a5ehren:
We don't know, but that would be a safe assumption. Unlocking/rooting your phone has always voided your warranty, we've just always been able to change it back without them knowing.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Most likely yes. I don't remember where or who said it, but I remember hearing they were aware all they had to do was sign a firmware zip with an unlocked hboot in it and they decided to not do it that way. So, although I have no idea of knowing if that is true or not it definitely sounds like something they would be trying to do if they aren't going to do it the easy way. They also haven't specified exactly what they're going to unlock yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] doublecheese:
look guys

I understand your enthusiasim over this new root possibility , my advice is to keep your questions to yourself for the time being, the most important thing now to do is to observe what is really going on and then you can ask questions when things are more clear.

Teamwin guys said WAIT , so let`s all wait for a time , because only they know the reality and let`s wait for their official reply and HOW TO guide.

Trust me, I`ve had 11 HTC`s so far and on 11 of them I had the same feelings you are having right now. This waiting period is killing me but what can I do other than waiting , there will be alot of time for questions when the S-OFF and the Root has been officially accomplished....
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
OTA Update that Voids Warranty would probably be illegal

I am sorry if this is too off topic but no one has given an answer to this question. . .

HTC cannot push an OTA to every Evo3D unlocking the bootloader that will void warranties. Even if it were optional, the uninformed masses would of course accept it without second thought. (There is also no setup in the OTA updating system (to my knowledge) for giving warnings about voiding warranties or the like.)

I haven't looked into the details of what jurisdiction governs the warranty contracts on the Evo3D but I am sure there is some prohibition against sneaky ways of voiding the warranty by the manufacturer.

Many have thrown around the idea of a class action suit over the failure of HTC to (at this time) live up to the CEO promise of unlocking the bootloaders. Such an class action would not likely succeed. However, if the manufacturer pushed an OTA update that voided all Evo 3D warranties, that would probably be a class action worth pursuing.

I do not even think that an update only published on the HTC website with explicit warnings about voiding warranties if applied would be allowed.

However, if the warranty contracts are controlled by some off the wall legal jurisdiction, I could be wrong.

Any other thoughts?
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
i did as well, thanks ftc_osiris i didnt see yours before i posted mine..

[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
if you already have the superuser app installed it will say that, it won't hurt anything though

uninstall super user from the market and reboot your phone to clean up anything leftover, after that it should work.

oh ya, if you have htc sync running make sure you kill that too. The new one is a PITA as far as interfering with adb
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
Ok did that ran bat and it popped up fast but I saw exploit complete testing now
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Yeah I guess temp root is just not for me. Seems to work cause I have # and not $ in shell but TB keeps saying can't get root. Thanks for the help though.

I at least feel like I have made the progress along with the rest. I like to see that # and then restart and see the $ back. We got in HTC.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
Hey Haus, is it safe to use your script because I read that it could make the phone unstable and just want to make sure its ok to use or should I do it manually with adb?

Tiff I am running Haus's script and my phone is a-ok.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
Ok. Thanks. Just wanted to be sure before I tried. I may just wait anyways since there is not a whole lot u can do. I really do appreciate all the work that these awesome devs are doing. I can't thank all of u enough. Keep doing what u do.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
script worked perfect was able to remove a bunch of stuff i did not want
[HTC EVO 3D] RyteSyde:
also keep in mind if you get root and reboot then fail on the next root you probably have your phone set to fastboot (power options) and it's not really rebooting all the way. Uncheck that and reboot and your # will go away.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
The script was a hell of lot easier then mucking around in adb.

With me not able to get temp root to function properly(get # but su doesn't care) is that going to cause a problem if they release permanent root. Am I the only one getting the # but no root apps seeing root?

Edit: Alchemist LOOK HERE.lol I'm pm'd you.

Update: ok just found out I lost it I think

I can still use tb all the way and su doesnt fc but terminal says its gone. I think youre right htc did do something to this one to keep su from sticking any amount of time.

Nice job guys. Just curious though, what would I be able to do with this since the system partition is still locked down? I ran the exploit and it worked, but since I can't install the su binary or Busy Box, I'm limited.

Ok this may be relevant may not but I have found using hause's script if I stay connected to the computer with debugging on su and busybox sticks longer. How long? Don't know but so far I have been able to run add free, tb, shoot me, te, msl reader, and maby one or two others without rebooting and r installing the script but as soon as I disconnect I lose su.
