Your software version is under phone info, software-information, build number.

You need version 2.36 or less, or you can not root your phone (yet).
[Desire HD General] HanZie82:
Just a side note.

When making questions make it as easy to solve and READ as possible.

There is no punctuation at all, you put it all in one sentence. Very hard to read.

This might also be a reason why you didnt have more answers.

Just come back edit your message and put some .,:;'" in there and a couple of RETURN's wouldnt be bad either.

Thanks you and goodluck with your problem.
[Desire HD General] in the zone:
thank you KaseDesire for the info i have 2.37 so i have to wait then :mad::mad:
[Desire HD General] RicarduZonta:
It might be not the answer what u are looking for, but put the phone in your pocket with the battery cover facing your leg. No more declined calls. Horizontal slide answer/decline would be much better. A leather case does the trick as well.

Hello all.

I am new here and i have one problem with my Htc dhd(desire hd).When i turn on my htc it show white screen with one logo and cant start my htc.I read some threads here i try hard reset,reset,factory reset and still not working.Some people say me to change rom but i dont know how.Is maybe other way to resolve my problem? If you need information just ask me.

Ty all and please help me soon as possible.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steeveeo:
Hey...are u still in the same situation?.. do you know what version you're running i.e. 2.2/2.3.3\2.3.7?

I can help you get

2.2/2.3.3 downgraded and rooted and hoping that your problem will be fixed.

Can you get you bootloader? (hold volume down/power button together) , this helps because it may just be a fault with your software installation on the phone and getting it rooted should help solve the problem, and of course give you a bit more freedom or if necessary back to stock with root.

Just one thing before i start repair my htc.Do i need to downgrade my dhd? Because i have factory rom and do i need s-off?And what i rom should to take?Ty
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steeveeo:
Hey , yeah you'll need to downgrade following the instructions in the links on my other post , you'll then need to follow the links below to get s-off which will allow you to then change roms.

You can go one step further , which is eng-off allowing u to change radios as well , sometimes good if a radio is recommended in rom thread for better functionality/battery life.

Roms wise , there is a good choice out there for sense 3.0

Virtuous unity

Flyersense (runs well , still being fine tuned)

Those are the two I've checked out

You can get sense 2.1 with 3.0 parts , like lockscreen/weather/sms etc...

gingersense (which is a stable daily rom I use)

LeeDr0id (looks great and great add-ins)

Arhd not sure what version they're on, but it looks good too.

Once you've flashed u can always change to another one :)

I recommend getting titanium backup once rooted (backs up apps and data)

Sms backup and restore (saves your texts :) , you can do this before hand)

Most of all read the threads and faqs , and enjoy :)

[HTC EVO 3D] Biofall:
Just thought I'd start a general thread for people to start reporting issues and their stories on how they get new 3Ds.

I got mine from wirefly, so I'll call them later tonight.

I have light leakage along the bottom left side, and I have a dead pixel on my menu button. Plus the left edge of the phone came out of the box scuffed, which is suspicious. Will post pix when I get a different camera.
[HTC EVO 3D] Skitzi:
This is an excerpt from an email conversation with HTC:

"I thank you for sending an email about unlocking the boot loader mode on the new HTC EVO 3D. I understand you would like to unlock the boot loader mode on your Android device but there has been no decision about which devices will be unlocked. I would suggest that you keep an eye on the HTC regional website at www.htc.com/US under the Home tab."
[HTC EVO 3D] blakeboys:
Figures. I emailed them as well, no response back yet. When I do hear from them it will probably be a generic response like the one you received.
[HTC EVO 3D] lbhocky19:
their ceo sent out an email saying they would unlock it. if they renig on this they are in for some trouble
[HTC EVO 3D] blakeboys:
Yes and i think it was posted on the HTC facebook page.
[HTC EVO 3D] Skitzi:
Just figured I would post to help make more noise about it. Noise seems to help make things happen sometimes. Other times it is just noise though.....

I had actually emailed asking for the SMART_IO.CRD file to help with some development work :P I didn't mention boot loaders or unlocking or rooting. Somewhat surprised at the response for their general support desk. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
Yep.

They have about 28 days to figure it out for me. Keep lighting up their Facebook. E-mail is good, but public exposure on places like Facebook and Twitter is the best.
[HTC EVO 3D] sfasu77:
They are going to F everybody over with these corporate stall tactics... I'm holding off until this ***** is unlocked.
[HTC EVO 3D] badutahboy:
Ditto.

And in reality, I'm leaning heavily towards the Photon or SGS2 now. The SGS2 is already unlocked, and with today's news that the Atrix was unlocked via a leaked 2.3.3 upgrade and that the official 2.3.3 upgrade will be unlocked, it sounds like the Photon will probably ship unlocked as well.

I've loved HTC, but I'm not interested in dealing with a company that's openly deceptive.
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
Motorola has already said that it will not unlock the Photon.
[HTC EVO 3D] badutahboy:
When? Moto said a while back that they were going to stop locking all future phones to my knowledge.

Edit: NM, just found it. However, that just says it won't ship unlocked, and it's a month old. If the Atrix will be unlocked with their GB update, I would be surprised if the Photon doesn't follow suit very quickly... unless it's sprint who's actually pulling the strings here.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowmike:
Is it a carrier branded device. ? It'll be locked.
[HTC EVO 3D] mbh87:
all they stated was that it wasnt unlockable/relockable, could have a xoom style bootloader for all we know.
[HTC EVO 3D] myphone12345:
what moto said is that they will release software that will unlock devices later in the year. As to which specific devices will get the unlock functionality, that will be the decision of the carriers.
[HTC EVO 3D] murusmaximus:
This was one of the major reasons I said I wasn't picking up this phone on launch day. There is no guarantee this thing will ever be unlocked, regardless of what HTC said a few weeks ago. From what I gather, they never specifically stated the Evo 3D would be unlocked, just future phones. Considering the phone was already in production when they made that statement, they might not think it's worth putting the effort to unlock it at this point.

Also, I checked out the phone at my local Sprint store and wasn't impressed at all. I'll see what the SGSII or the Photon has to offer when those are released.

Keep on the assault on facebook! The second we slow down is when they decide that eventually we will forget about it and not do anything about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] nebenezer:
Someone with more free time than myself should make a countdown timer to 29 days after launch and feature it in a petition to return evo 3d's if htc keeps playing the waiting game.
[HTC EVO 3D] idaho4045:
i totally agree with this..

and also i agree everyone needs to keep the Assault on the facebook page.. maybe if enough ppl sit there and ***** they will do something about it.. cause this is some serious bull****.. the CEO wasnt the only one who said something about the unlocking of the bootloaders.. but there was a post from a HTC DEV that the EVO 3D would SHIP UNLOCKED!! so this bull**** with them saying "FUTURE DEVICES" is exactly that BULL****...

I WILL BE DOING A COUNTDOWN ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE.. SEEMS LIKE A GOOD WAY TO DO IT.. EVERYONE GETS ON FB ATLEAST ONCE A DAY SO THAT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY OF DOING IT..

hit their twitter page also.. @HTC.. i am.. looks like they more actively watch their twitter page.. been following them for days now and who ever is watching it replys to almost everyone!!. just a thought..

bit.ly/HTC-UnlockOrWeWalk

As much as I want to believe that HTC is going to come though, I am cautious through past experience. Companies move SLOW. Right hands don't talk to the Left Hands, and before you know it, we're in the same club as some of the Motto people. I don't want to be in that club!

I want a device where I am FREE to choose what I may do with it, warranty or not. Free to utilize the device to its FULL capability and NOT be bogged down by bulky code or bloatware.

For the clock, I've set some parameters.

Date: Set for the earliest of the 30 Day period starting June 21st, the day users were able to start ordering the phone. You may argue that it shouldn't start till the 22nd, but I've worked retail, I've seen some of the BS Reps try to pull with 30 day technicalities. The clock goes till 9pm, the bleeding edge of the return policy for brick and mortar stores.

Time Zone: Set for Eastern as this would be the time zone in the United States to be affected first.

I hope you don't mind that I'm about to borrow your sig :p

This phone is awesome and I want to keep it but it'll be going back if they don't unlock it.

Also, for those who have speculated HTC was referring to future phones beyond current gen: The CEO of HTC specifically said the EVO 3D will get the unlocked hboot treatment. If he doesn't make good on those words then SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU HTC!!
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I love this phone. I can deal with the form factor given that amazing screen...So fast.

However, I am constantly reminded of how much I hate sense...and Sense 3.0 is just as much of a mess as I thought it was on my EVO4g, it's just a much smoother mess. (Let's save that argument for another thread)

This makes it a LOT easier to decide to return this phone and go back to my OG EVO...and that could change if it's unlocked....and that'll put me 30 days closer to the (shudder) SGS2, which is looking like the only phone that will do what I want on my terms when I purchase it...and the Samsung community is growing rapidly.

Sorry HTC, you've made your decision...and it appears you have decided to lie. Prove me wrong, please...but if you don't I won't think twice about it. I hate liars.
[HTC EVO 3D] thegame3202:
Indeed. If this isn't unlocked in my 30 day "test" period.... Cya HTC. That is a huge deciding factor for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] gotmoobs:
If this phone doesn't impress you I really wonder what you have now. Best android phone I have ever touched.

People really need to relax. HTC came out and said they would unlock boot loaders, its not a mom and pop company, a multi billion dollar company takes time to move the ship. Things don't happen over night.
[HTC EVO 3D] gotmoobs:
HTC is doing something for the very small minority of android users, and this is how you treat them 'clap clap clap'
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
How dare you defend the practice commonly referred to as "lip service"...

...actions speak louder than words...

EDIT: and that's to say nothing for the dirty practice of "locking" devices that you and I pay for. Who owns that phone You or HTC? Right now HTC does and they would like to keep it that way.
[HTC EVO 3D] tequilapr:
You people talk about sammy phones like te best deal, and let me tell you its not. Non if the Sprint samsung phone works, I tried all of them and the hardware problems like battery life, signal, 4g antenna, wifi antenna, all if that have a lot of bugs and problems. My last phone with sam was the Nexus, and its horrible in all aspects even in software with a lot of bugs. Now with the Evo3d I have better and strong wifi, 4g and 3g signal.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Going Samsung would be a gigantic compromise to me...my biggest concern being their notoriously weak radios...but I am going to vote with my wallet for what I want--I want phones that come with unlocked bootloaders. Samsung sells this.
[HTC EVO 3D] tequilapr:
Well its you choice but for me no more samsung I prefer the old school palm pre hehe
[HTC EVO 3D] gotmoobs:
lip service? The CEO of the company came out and said they would. Why would they back out? Its been like a month.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Yes, lip service. We have seen no action and heard no updates publicly...and their emails they have sent out privately are even more concerning.

CEO's don't lie? EL-OH-EL my friend.
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
I thought I read somewhere that they where working to unlock the sensation at the moment? I could be wrong though
[HTC EVO 3D] murusmaximus:
I have the original Evo4G. I didn't like the longer, narrower screen on the 3vo. The build quality of the 3vo seemed much less than the original. Yes it's fast, but not significantly faster than some of the custom ROM's I've had on the evo4G. Sure the benchmarks are faster, but translated into real world usage, it wan't a huge difference to me.

Was not impressed with the camera quality compared to the original evo. 3D gave me a big headache, I would never use it.

I'm also not a fan of Sense, and since there is no confirmation of the phone being unlocked, I'll be just fine with the evo4G running CM7 or MIUI.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
:D

CEO's lie just as much as Presidents do. Tell the people what you want to hear and don't follow through on promises.

I will believe the unencrypted bootloader when I see it. Till then I remain skeptical it will ever happen.

28 days and counting till the 3D goes back.
[HTC EVO 3D] gotmoobs:
why even get the phone in the first place, a net loss to you for restocking it, and the hassle of returning it.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowxaero:
This is an email I received from HTC.

We are currently developing new bootloader unlocked policy. HTC is still committed to allowing our customers to unlock the bootloaders if they wish, however we are still implementing the policy and have many issues as well as concerns to be addressed. For example, how will warranty be handled if the custom ROM damages the phone.

Be assured that we are working on a solution for our customers and our commitment has not changed. Please stay tuned to our official channels for ongoing updates on how we will be implementing this policy.

Thank you for your patience.

Regards,
[HTC EVO 3D] murusmaximus:
No way they get this resolved in less than 30 days. Looks like they're gonna get a lot of these phones back.

Gonna be the SGSII or the Photon for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] 2fastkuztoms:
Some people compare 4G to 3D a year later with customs roms, did you remember the benchmarks of the stock 4G with 30 fps cap? 520 on quadrant, imagine what devs could do to the 3D. My 4G its waiting on its box to be selled.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
No restocking fee and no big deal to return if it comes down to that.
[HTC EVO 3D] daveeckert:
Um, just load up dungeon defenders. I was running "stock" CM7 (meaning I didn't tweak the hell out of the CPU, etc, was just running Tiamat), it it still chugged like crazy on my 4G. It is as smooth as butter on the 3D, as well as Peggle, Plants vs. Zombies, and every other "advanced" game I have tried.

If you don't like the formfactor, bootloader policies, etc., that's fine, but you are just ignorant if you think there isn't a significant performance increase.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
People really think many of us will not send it back.That is just not the case.People think oh they just are blowing smoke and will keep it.

We like to do things to phones also wifi tether is very important.If HTC wants to be a pain about it there is no problem sending it back it is very very easy.No restocking fee never paid 1 before and i would just say the 3D hurt my eyes.

at least we know the SGS2 will be unlocked so the ball is in there court and for me since i got it the 21st there time is running out.

If this does not matter to you then there is no reason for you to be in this thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] murusmaximus:
I don't do a lot of gaming on my phone. Meaningless to me. I mostly use my phone for multimedia purposes. Taking/sharing pictures and video, watching movies/YouTube ...etc. A good amount of web browsing also.
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
Why even buy the phone then? I'm pretty sure your gonna be returning your phone then cuz I highly doubt that we will see this phone unlocked by then.
[HTC EVO 3D] buckless:
i agree 100% plus the font is much smaller-could adjust it with custom roms
[HTC EVO 3D] 12MaNy:
HTC has 27 days to come up with the encryption key, or I'm returning it and stickng with Samsung....plain n' simple.
[HTC EVO 3D] gotmoobs:
wifi tether is illegal against contract you signed with carrier.

oh and if you return it, I don't think they will mind. They did 1.42 billion in sales in April and May.

I come from the original OG Droid, and we had to wait some time for root on that phone, and I don't mind the wait. If you can't because you cant afford the 30 dollars extra a month, im sorry to hear that.

I don't mind waiting 1 month, 2 months, 5-6 months for it. Custom rom's will come out for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
You and I have the exact opposite feelings. I prefer the new form factor over the OG EVO significantly. It is a more comfortable size to hold and use. The build quality feels much better to me and its definitely noticeably faster than my OG EVO- plus graphics performance puts my OG EVO to shame.

In my experience the camera is better and I think the 3D is really quite cool as do most of the people I have shown my phone too.

As far as the phone being unlocked, this is something I will require. If HTC does not unlock it or it is not hacked before my 30 days, I will return it and wait for the SGS2 :(
[HTC EVO 3D] idaho4045:
here goes a long one fellas so be prepared....

first wtf is this **** with warrantees and **** with the phones.. im pretty sure weve been unlocking bootloaders here on XDA for YEARS!! and loadin custom roms and blah blah blah... its all part of the risk to modify your phone.. you modify it sorry no warranty coverage.. as long as the company you return it to can prove it was modded lol..

and this bogus ass email that was posted a couple post's back.. you wanna tell me why the hell they responded to you but not the other 1.2 million other ppl (the number is a horrible guesstamate lol) and if they are so willing to email you back about the problem.. why have they yet to announce anything publicly... i know damn well they have seen the FIRE on their FaceBook page and TWITTER... cuz i have been blowing both of them up non stop since i got this ****ing phone..

and hell yea ill return this ***** ina heart beat.. 3D hurts my eyes is a perfect excuse cause it does!! when you use the camera anyway(it may or may not hurt other ppls eyes, but it kills mine).. i love the phone and i came from the HERO so this phone is amazing compared to that.. but i have no problem going to the EVO 4g i was gonna go with that in the first place untill i heard about this phone and the shipping with unlocked bootloader. couldnt pass it up.. but ill go right back to radio shack in 26 days and hand them this and say give me the evo 4G and my money back K THANKS!.. and ill come right home and one button click to root and be happier then ****...

i for one am not gonna believe anything i see or read untill i see some actual action from HTC them selves.. they know the keys we need to unlock the phone.. and they know damn well they could "some how get leaked" and shut everyone up... so this is 100% on them... its easy to blame a bull**** leak on some "employee who is already getting fired anyway" lol.. and then everyone can be happy and HTC wont be to blame.. then in a week then can release a patch that patches the root we did "so it looks like they tried to stop us" and everyone can be happy YAY!

26 days and counting.. MAN UP HTC!!
[HTC EVO 3D] gotmoobs:
"I love the phone, this phone is great" You buy a phone for the features it has, not the ability to unlock it or not, or you would have not bought it in the first place, you walked into sprint knowing that the phone was locked. This phone will not be unlocked in 30 days, so you should return it now and wait for the weak sg2 so you can tether for free instead of paying 30 dollars.
[HTC EVO 3D] kinextions:
30 day return

If I return the 3D and get the EVO 4g, can I return the 4g before the 30 day mark and get another phone. How many times can you return a phone? Every 30 days?
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
If you return a phone and swap it for a different phone then you have 30 days from the purchase date of the ORIGINAL phone to continue swapping. However, if you return your phone and get your money back, you can wait the necessary period of time to have your upgrade reset and your 30 day trial periods will start over.

For example, I purchased the HTC Arrive 2 weeks before the 3D came out. I returned the Arrive yesterday for the 3D. Now I have 15 days to decide to keep the 3D, return it and have my upgrade reset, or swap it for another device.
