Worked fkn flawlessly!!

Been rooted for about 20 mins now, seem to have no problems.

Titanium

MSL Reader

Roam Control all seem to work fine.

Tomorrow we'll find out how permanently it sticks though.
[HTC EVO 3D] eugene373:
Okay.. Lets see if I can clear up a Few Question some might have regarding this!!

1. Yes it's still a temp Root

2. The Reason why I used /vendor/bin is due to it being in the export $PATH like /system/bin & /system/xbin is, so you can still type su or make calls to the su binary without issues as if it was in the export path of /system/bin or /system/xbin.. ( If you're not familiar with how export $PATH work on Linux, a quick Google search will help. )

4. The Reason we Lose Root ( Su binary & Busybox symlinks ) is once the System say TIME-OUT & remounts as R/O we lose everything. However with /vendor/bin we avoid this situation all together, there for keeping SU & Busybox intact & working.

5. Yes removing the App's are only temporary, but I did it to help clean the clutter apps I don't use.

6. The .bat file is nothing more that a text file, so you can edit / remove / Add as you see fit for your device liking.

Like I said, I hope to see others start using vendor/bin & I only found this solution by Poking around & honestly I'm sure somebody would have found this work around sooner or later..

Until then, Happy Rooting.

It worked great for me!!!!!

Thanks!!!

COOL!!! I just noticed gave you your 1000th thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I've been using the method posted in this thread and it has been not only working flawlessly with every root app I've tried but it sticks until reboot. So what's the difference between doing what you are doing (using /vendor/bin) and doing it the way the other thread does it (with soft links)? Do both methods work or is one better than the other?

[HTC EVO 3D] Vandelay007:
This worked perfectly, got my MSL, running setcpu to underclock when my screen is off - sweet!

How far off is it to be able to do this directly from your phone ? Instead of using my wall charger I bought two extra batteries and an independent wall charger so I always have at least one fully charged - I dont use my computer nearly as much as my phone - so I was j/w

thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] eugene373:
Because it still loses Root after a bit, the system always remounts back to R/O which removes the SU Binary & busybox ..

If it works for you then Great, but with the SUID being set most apps can work. However there is still other app that make direct calls to the SU binary & Fail..
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
This isn't a "new" root method, just an ingenious remodeling of Fr3vo... so probably when Fr3vo goes mobile.
[HTC EVO 3D] shad0w77:
new update worked great for me! love the fast reboot thing... thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] eugene373:
Okay for all the People having trouble with Perma-Temp Root. I have added a Sleep timer so the USB has time to reconnect to the device.

Post soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] polo79:
don't see it mentioned in the OP but you have to have usb debugging on correct?

[HTC EVO 3D] kydkupa:
I downloaded the temp-root from earlier this morning and it seemed to work but the fastboot.apk wasn't pushed and i got a few failed exploit messages. Im not sure why i cant get this to work. I've only had successful temp root and that was when the overclock came out last week. I have HTC Sync installed, as well as the SDK. Plus ADB drivers. Am i missing something?
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Everything worked fine for me. Titanium backup working perfect as well. Thank you OP!
[HTC EVO 3D] lokko21:
By Su you mean super user right..?? But when I go to su there's no apps listed there, I have TB, root explorer and wifi tether and no apps on su. Reload application on TB does nothing.

Thanks anyway, one more question..

How do I unroot..?? Just reboot..??

Will everything installed by this script will be erased..??

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] eugene373:
Get the latest I fixed that issue already.

You might have download early this morning version that had that issue.

Market is fixed now though.. wifi should work?
[HTC EVO 3D] kydkupa:
After trying the new fix, L'm still getting exploit failed as an error. This is after uninstalling SU, rebooting, and re-running the exploit. And im still getting errors. Is it normal to keep seeing daemon restarting, and adb server out of dat and killing?
[HTC EVO 3D] TinkerDude:
HTC Sync cannot be active; it will kill your ADB sessions. Either uninstall it or at least exit out of it from the icon in the system tray.

Sent from my OC'd quasi-rooted EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] lowetax:
if in doubt ...

plug device into pc and check device manager,

make sure no exclamation point next to device.

unplug. uninstall superuser.

reboot. let everything settle.

make sure debugging is √ (enabled).

task manager - Kill All.

plug in. turn display off. run script.

enjoy Perma-Temp Root.
[HTC EVO 3D] lokko21:
I downloaded the new zip, re run it and now I'm full of win, so far the 3 apps that required root are working nice and clean.

Thank you so much.

[HTC EVO 3D] lokko21:
Do you have the link to the tether application..??
[HTC EVO 3D] clutch_08:
I don't know if I am lucky or what but I have turned off my phone. And turned it back on and still had root titanium backup still worked
[HTC EVO 3D] curiousGeorge:
You mention included "Fast reboot" 2-3 times in the beginning post but it's not included in Fre3vo_EVO_3D_Final3.zip.
[HTC EVO 3D] yaaah_hoo:
Thanks man. This definitely helped.
[HTC EVO 3D] kydkupa:
Same here. Disabling the HTC Sync did it for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] reekotubbs:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this may be because when you choose "Power off" from the Power Options I don't believe the phones shuts completely down. Only when battery dies, you remove the battery, or when you reboot the phone does it completely shutdown.

This may be the cause of root not being lost.
[HTC EVO 3D] lokko21:
Lost root after few hours, I had to restore run the bat file. It this normal...??
[HTC EVO 3D] shad0w77:
yeah same here w/ latest version... but i think it's because i uninstalled an app that was moved to the sd card... actually, 95% sure that was the problem...
[HTC EVO 3D] lowetax:
yer right on that.

still have the app from prior version.

can it be used if needed ?
[HTC EVO 3D] dkratter14:
Both the fast boot apk and any mention of it in the script are missing in this latest version.

Is the hosts file the same as from AdFree?
[HTC EVO 3D] aFoodStampBaby:
Okay so I ran the .exe and it rooted the phone but the Su is not working until I go back into adb shell and type in cd /data/local/tmp then ./fixsu.sh then the Su works. Then I try to overclock and when I set my CPU it reboots my phone. Any idea why I cannot overclock and why is the exe not working properly until i go into adb shell?
[HTC EVO 3D] lokko21:
Lost root again, whats the best way to remove everything and leave phone back to stock...

I'll wait till september i guess.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
It's here.

Everything works fine but I turn on WiFi and I get error anyone getting this
[HTC EVO 3D] lokko21:
I was getting the same "Error" and kept loosing root after few hours too, no go for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] maxawesome:
What does:

Before Using!!

HTC Must be Turned OFF

mean?

I mean, I think we've all at times wished we had a switch to turn HTC off, but uhh...
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
Means, make sure HTC Sync is not running. It will cause problems if it is. Not really problems but the script won't work and you'll be racking your brain trying to figure out why it won't work.
[HTC EVO 3D] lilflip21:
Wifi:Error

So after awhile and a few screen off and on power cycles I seem to be getting the wifi "error" and I am unable to connect again until I reboot.. didn't have this issue the past few days running an older/different frevo root script and overclock.. maybe just coincidence or maybe something that you have tweaked in this newer script is causing that?.. I'll compare the scripts.. then again maybe its just that I am overclocked too much but haven't had any random reboots last 2 days so not sure.. either way I don't mind for root and OC its worth a few issues until S-off.. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] letsgoflyers81:
I'm having a strange problem with WiFi Tether 3.0 pre14. The app doesn't give me any errors and I can connect with my laptop. I can reach any Google site, Google, Google Plus, Gmail, Google Voice, etc, but only Google sites. Nothing other than Google sites will load at all. I made sure to check the routing fix and I've tried several different device profiles. Has anyone else seen anything like this?
[HTC EVO 3D] bavman:
Everything goes well until fre3vo is excecuted through shell. I get a "looking for exploit", "area found", then "exploit failed". Debugging is on, no htc sync on my computer, charge only on phone. I rooted with this method before but now it wont work. Whats up???
[HTC EVO 3D] derek826:
Ok so Ive tried every root script out there for my Htc Evo 3d and yet none of them have actually "temp-rooted" my phone. Whenever i click on an app that needs root access it says that my phone is not rooted. Ever barnicle wifi-tether says that. And whenever i try to open up the Superuser app this is what it says "The application Superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I even tried reinstalling Superuser app too. I dont know what to do. Somone help.. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] jes24cap:
Reboot phone first... Root explorer works great now i removed over 30 unwanted apps from the system. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] ERHSAII:
I had the same thing happen last night, and I had used previous versions too. I pulled the battery, waited a couple minutes, rebooted and tried again and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps you.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
When I ran the script last night I seen it say that it failed too. I don't know for sure but maybe he's running it twice and so it's failing the second time cause it's already been done. Not sure though. Have u tried any root apps afterwards to see if it worked even though it says it failed?
[HTC EVO 3D] jes24cap:
Go get root checker from the market. It will check root plus busybox. Great app made by joey from sdx
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
any chance this can be made to run off the sdcard ? say in the terminal ? for people on the and that may need to chance batteries ?
[HTC EVO 3D] lowetax:
just curious ... what does that do for you ?

you can't see a performance boost, do you ?

and there's plenty of ram and storage space. ?

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] shad0w77:
Lost root again, and my wifi access points need to be forgotten and reconnected for them to work. Otherwise they just cycle from connecting to disconnected...

Went from 65mb of free space to 97 mb. I also hate having so many apps in my app drawer i always hit the one i never use. Plus i killed alot of apps that were running in the background. I hope it will improve battery life.

This successfully gives me a root shell via adb, but commands don't do anything any more.

Example: after running this script, if I type "reboot" or "restart" into the adb shell, it will give me a new command prompt as if it took the command, but nothing happens.

Also, nothing at all seems to happen on the phone. There is no SU app, there is no apparent change what so ever. All root apps say they can't find root.

Anyone have any insight as to what may be happening?

Worked on my Desktop..wouldn't work on my laptop. weird
[HTC EVO 3D] ERHSAII:
People having issues getting the exploit to work should pull the battery, wait a minute and reboot, then run the root. This has worked for a few of us on here.
[HTC EVO 3D] jhuff83:
Wifi doesn't work after some time and my memory shows a negative number.
[HTC EVO 3D] jhuff83:
So you are having the same issue? When did you apply the temp root?
[HTC EVO 3D] reekotubbs:
Yes, I had the same problem with 3.0 pre 14 and pre 10, Try Barnacle, it works but very slow and stops responding after awhile. It seems that sprint may be attempting to block access from tethered programs.
[HTC EVO 3D] jackpearce:
Funny. I was playing Home run battle 3d and it asked me for root permissions
[HTC EVO 3D] lowetax:
when you plug in to laptop, the device shows up

in device manager without an !

and it shows up when you adb devices ?

EDIT: i rebooted and flashed the final version yesterday,

and also had negative memory and some issues,

so did full factory reset to start over clean as possible,

accepted sprint apps update, etc.

then ran the prior script from here that included OC that had worked fine for me.

never lost root with it and wifi worked fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] reekotubbs:
I am still running one of the first scripts from eugene373 and the only time I had to re-root was when my battery died.

There may be something to re-installing this exploit over and over again that causes the phone to stop functioning correctly.

A suggestions to all those having issues with loosing root and other applications FCing out, try to do a hard reset and start over with one of the original scripts or even the current one and see if that helps.

This one is not sticking. The last update on the 8th stuck though.
[HTC EVO 3D] SpunkyXL:
Yup

thought new script wasnt working at first.. but i had to shut phone down fully then power back up for it to take.. still didnt see where it used to say exploit completed or whatever.. but it deff worked cause superuser and root explorer/TB work fine. Also added OC script to get my CPU up to 1.8Ghz with profiles. works great! :-D
[HTC EVO 3D] loonytunes:
Yeah, I can't keep this installed.. Wifi gives an error, and now I tried to turn on 4g and get an error as well.. I am using the "100% stable" latest version.
[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
When you said "this one", do you mean the most current version (7/12/2011) is not sticking? I just downloaded the latest version on page 1.
[HTC EVO 3D] xusxmarinesx:
Same here its annoying...I'm also using the newest build...it really sucks
[HTC EVO 3D] chucktownscitch:
I too was having the issues w/ wifi not wanting to connect and just displaying "Error", Market apps failing to upgrade and/or install new apps, and the Memory showing minus numbers. Ever since the "final" releases i've been having issues.

I ended up doing a battery pull earlier because I needed to use the market. Now that im home I tried the method in this post..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1140578

And used the 3DROOT-5.zip ... It worked flawlessly the first time and my wifi works and still able to use the market just fine. My memory is also displaying correct positive #'s..

So, FWIW, i recommend anyone having issues w/ this final release try the other zip from the other thread and you may have better results.

Edit: ... actually I had tested TB and it loaded and said i had root.. However adfree and root explorer were both showing I did not have root.. So maybe I will just go back to the pre-final release build w/ oc for the time being... Didn't have any issues w/ that one.

I have all kinds of hell breaking loose after many days of temp-root working without a single loss of root. Phone is now going to black screen while power on. Only remedy is a battery pull.

Going to try the previous version I had been using.

normally I test each version, but I think i'll stick with what works for now.

i'm so anal about this stuff and remember everything,

you're confusing me now :)
