[HTC EVO 3D] Skyphos:
First off....Thank you OP! Next..

My experience: Worked well...very easy..and steps are pretty much fool proof as is.

Additions to guide: Although I think its pretty straight forward...lets just say these suggestions may clear it up more for those

who are having issues =-) They are not necessary but may help new users who have never rooted/flashed anything.

Step 1: Put path to USB Debugging: Menu/Settings/Applications/Development/USB debugging checked to on

Step 2: Needs clarification...write down info then end. The "When you're finished..." should be mentioned later on in the

tutorial...purhaps after the root and recovery etc..

Step 3: "Just doubleclick the executable..." specify which...can be misleading

Step 4: "Leave this page open..." specify which page...can be misleading

Step 4: May be worth mentioning to unmount as disk drive after file copy/rename and set charge only..also double check USB

Debugging is on (if it is on you'll see it in status bar).

Step 5.1: Does not ask for "Y" to continue...just goes (in my case at least).

Step 5.1: May mention that you may see, "Rebooting to fast boot + (cool saying 1/2/3)" three times.

Step 5.1: May mention to unplug phone or not...or if either way is ok

Step 5.2: May reference that the PG86IMG.zip is the one we renamed earlier

Step 5.2: Mine would load up to hboot automatically on, "parsing update press x to continue or y to restart" and i had no other

options...i let it go ahead and update after trying to reboot once or twice to see if i could break away from that menu (and

verifying it was doing the right flash). After that I pulled the battery and set the microSD manually in the card reader in my box

to manually remove PG86IMG.zip since i had the loop to automatically "parsing update...". I did unplug from the pc after the s-

off/battery pull. Booted to recovery just fine.

Step 5.3: " select Apply update from zip.." Should be "install zip/Choose zip to flash"

Step 5.3: You could explicitly list options to reboot but now i'm just being nit-picky

Step 5.3: "May explain "error in..blah" and sample status codes (i received status code 0 and all was well).

More: Maybe some ScreenShots and/or a video can help...also perhaps a single link for all files would be beneficial (let me know if you want me to send a zip of all organized by steps. Ya i did that...but if youre not going to follow directions to a "T" then you cant whine haha.

**NOTE**: I'm in no way trying to critisize your guide...but rather add to it to make it even more user friendly.

IMPORTANT other notables with my experience:

Other: I did use temp root and TiBU to backup applications...then factory reset. Followed all instructions in reference to

removing HTC Sync and installing drivers with reboots in between. Disabled A/V to be safe.

Other: I bailed out of the revo installer at the "download and flash CWRM" portion after having obtained S-off and TWRP recovery.

Other: May mention someone has a video tutorial for those who are really unfamiliar to the root/flash process:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192868&highlight=hboot+guide

(note...i only watched the first seven minutes at work to verify it looked like he knew what he was talkinga bout incase i ran into

something funky and had to see what it looked like to others...he seemed knowledgable [or at least able to read your guide haha]).

Other: An oddity that may have been isolated to me...Upon reinstalling my TiBackup I didnt have SU access. I downloaded "Root

Checker" and it said I did in both basic and advanced mode. After that I installed busybox since TiBU requested it (newest version

1.19 didnt work so i had to run 1.18.4, which worked). After that TI backup was tracking. I did a restore of all app+data and it

said it took well...shortly after I went back in again and busybox, TIBU and root checker said i had lost root. My terminal

emulator even gave me a $ sign after askign for SU. I had to reset to factory and reflash SU from recovery once more. Perhaps a

restoration of my apps+settings was at fault for that. It seemed to work well after that.

IMPORTANT NOTE: After all this (and several reboots for test purposes) I noticed that it seems like if I didnt disable fast boot in

the O/S options it would act wonky and want to lose my SU permissions (and not grant them at terminal request)...anyone else notice

that? It is listed as "beta mode only for dev's/power users" so I'm not mad in the least...just tryin to give back to the community

with my experiences.

Thanks to all involved and to all who took time to read my post. If you like what i had to share...hit the thanks button and help a

brotha' out =-).
