[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
well try a different approach.. (lol.. talkin about me wit the smart ass comments...) please don't reply to me anymore, im done with you..

like i said before.. Thank you Bentenrai for taking the time out to compile this list of instructions to begin with.. check ur pm for suggestions that dont involve smart ass comments from people telling you what you "need" to do..
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
yeah.. i wouldn't worry about it.. if all ur root only apps seem to be operational then i would just continue on like i never seen the error :D

quick question.. when u tried different versions, did you always get the same exact error?? and what recovery are u using??
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Quick question, I hooked my phone up as a disk drive in order to place the PC.Img image on the root of my card.... shouldn't I put it back In "charge-only" mode to complete the s-off steps after that?

*edit* some steps aren't clear, like when to mount and unmount Sd card. I'm at the step where is says to flash the pc img (recovery) and i don't have an option to do that.. I'm assuming it's because I may have turned off while still being in disk drive. I'm also getting the red triangle with "!" inside it
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
or from YOU telling people in a smart ass way they need common sense to do something

also, a tutorial is only good if its concise enough so that people using it wont have problems
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
Well according to user BK718 if you have common sense, you can root your phone. So basically BK718 is calling you a moron

All I did was simply statement my problems, because the tutorial is not totally clear, although the majority of it is helpful and useful.

My whole point is to prevent people such as you to have problems when rooting.

But all BK718 wants to do is make us all praise the tutorial writer since its something he didnt have to do and is a "bonus" for us.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Cool, thanks@1

I figured it out tho, so continue on with your *****-fest. I'm out
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
if u don't have the PC86IMG img option, it probably says somthing bout Parsing zip.. update that.. select yes to reboot once its done.. delete the zip and then boot back into fastboot to select recovery and install SU from there..

please ignore the other persons comment that was of no help at all..

*edit.. sorry didn't see that u already figured it out
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
happy to find out you have common sense, congrats
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
funny you didnt provide useful help to me

all you said was that I needed common sense to solve the problem

guess you pick and choose who to help without insult huh?

Recovery issues

I followed the steps to a tee, but when it was time to download and install the clockwork mod recovery it failed... I then tried to install the TWRP and it is not recognizing the update, just shows an option "Image CRC" on boot menu... Please help. I tried all kinds of stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] evohnoo:
This HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IN FULL IN THIS THREAD... There is a problem with the download of the recovery at that step with revolutionary, its not an issue though because you most likely have S-OFF, so just download TWRP, put it on the root of your SD card, label it PG86IMG (do not add a .zip at the end of the file name if youre using windows) and then go back into the bootloader, and when it asks to update, hit yes
[HTC EVO 3D] Derokk:
Got that working and Now I am trying to get recovery but it shows a phone symbol with the red triangle!
[HTC EVO 3D] evohnoo:
Correct, you need to flash a recovery... Read what I typed to you only 2 posts ago...
[HTC EVO 3D] Derokk:
I am looking in two different recoveries and I can not get them to work, is there a more specific steo by step? Sorry so stupid
[HTC EVO 3D] evohnoo:
Not sure what "looking in two different recoveries" means... I did type you detailed info about how to do this, now 4 posts up... I sent you a PM also
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
why is clockword mod not even mentioned in the tutorial?

i can see people getting mixed up trying to install 2 recoveries on one phone
[HTC EVO 3D] evohnoo:
Clockwork is mentioned in that Revolutionary promps for an automatic download, and then you press Y for update... thats about it...

The next part of the tutorial has you flash the TWRP, so if people follow the directions really, itll install the CWM, but then flash over it with TWRP...

I guess the tutorial could give you the option to do that step, but with the issues people are having with CWM, I dunno, seems ok that it does this.
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
i said TUTORIAL, not the revolutionary prompts

the only reason folks know about clockwork is because it mentions it during the S-off process as a complete surprise

some people panic when it fails because the tutorial doesnt mention it

This is what I mean by having the tutorial CONCISE

I mean it AINT just me so not sure why the finger pointing because several people have been confused or mentions the tutorial is slightly out of whack

Now that I went through it all and figured out how to get it done, if the mods lets me, i would willingly write a nice clear and concise tutorial to help others,instead of calling them all morons and lacking commons sense because they cant root.

I mean this is s-off/root, MANY will still be rooting their phones as the days come. I'm just trying to make it as easy as possible. Yall have to remember not everybody is a phone tech nutt
[HTC EVO 3D] evohnoo:
At the time the TUTORIAL was written, the download DID work. So with that, came this write up. Things change, versions change, etc, thats what the posts in the thread are for...

Honestly, the thread is a pretty accurate representation of the progress of things since root. It seems that the first hundred or so posts etc there were few problems, but not many, then as things progressed, other issues arose, but they have all been address in one way or another, probably 1000 times (no exaggeration) throughout all the threads here, and in Q/A, General etc.

Its impossible for one thread to keep up with EVERY change... just impossible. Thats why its on the USER to have some sense, and some time to read, research their problem, and find the solution. Its funny that each person with an issue thinks their situation is unique... yet I can find the same problem in every thread, in every forum on here. Its lazyness, and lack of effort to seek out the solution.

phone widget apk

First, thanks to everyone who helped put this together!!!

I was able to root my phone....however, I accidently deleted my phone widget apk when I was manually deleting all of the bloatware.

Could someone help me find this apk or point me in the right direction.

BTW....I did search the forums for an answer.

Thanks!

Will this work for old evo...2.3.3?

HOW TO ROOT YOUR EVO3D

No it wont, head over to the EVO 4G forums for posts on rooting the Evo 4G
[HTC EVO 3D] os10:
I'm using the SU link on the first page in the tuturial.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36719158/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip

(corrected)

I copied "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" to root of SD card

In the recovery mode, after I choose Install Zip and select the file. It runs, but after a few lines it says "E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip"

what next..? TIA

edit: i went ahead and rebooted... it did PRL update and looks like it's back to default home screen, i guess it worked?
[HTC EVO 3D] evohnoo:
dafuq is that link? Your attention to detail is not on point today... use this file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36719158/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip

Waiting for device...

At the beginning of the revolutionary process I can't get passed "Waiting for device..." I have tried to wait it out but the phone isn't doing anything and neither is the prompt. Someone please help me
[HTC EVO 3D] os10:
i had the right file as indicated: "I copied su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip to root of SD card"

however i posted the wrong link, that is corrected

i restored everything using Titanium Backup, i guess it worked. tutorial could use some more precise instructions but it is a good start
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
as u can see, my first reply to you was me trying to HELP you get FASTER sprint support... had you responded back i was gonna tell u to let ur phone connect automatically to the correct department for speedy help.. so YES i was trying to help you..

i called u senseless because u were insulting the OP's tutorial and using words like impossible when referring to u couldn't delete the file... however with a little thought i showed how u could have figured out 2 possible ways to delete the file (far from "impossible")

there is no need to continue insulting other people or insinuate that i am insulting anyone, when my intent on here has been nothing but to help people.. i've been using this site for over 4 years, and u are the first person who i've had any problem with..

so please, if u are not planning on helping anyone out in this thread, leave.. ur phone is rooted.. go explore some ROM's and kernels... (i like to come back in here and check to see if people need help, not to argue with u..)
[HTC EVO 3D] evohnoo:
Glad it worked, reason I posted that file is because there files floating around with the exact file "name" you posted, however, internally, the file itself is not signed, sometimes causing the error you experienced.
[HTC EVO 3D] evohnoo:
You need to reinstall your drivers... Its a communication issue, which has been beaten to death in this thread (if you read) ... uninstall drivers, reinstall drivers, if it doesnt work, do it again... sometimes a restart of the computer following a driver install works... make sure HTC sync is uninstalled, and firewalls and anti virus is off... (some have said this worked)
[HTC EVO 3D] os10:
i have everything restored but the Wireless Tethering app is not working. every time i start the app it says "granted superuser permissions" then "started with errors". log shows "Activating WiFi interface... failed" each time. tried rebooting no change.

maybe this has to do with the error i was getting during Superuser install, should i try again?

when i am in Recovery and i run the superuser zip.. this is what it shows

Superuser 2.3.6.3 for Android 2.0-3.1

[HTC EVO 3D] Kanomy's Ball:
Nothing seems to be working :( is there any other possible solutions
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
For some reason wireless tether isn't working well with this phone.. Check for the native hotspot hack thread or flash a rom with the hack..
[HTC EVO 3D] os10:
bk718: thanks, at least i know it's not just me.

E-Z SOLUTION !!!

i have downloaded the the latest version Wireless Tether 3.1b2 apk, installed it, and it is working right serving webs to my laptop. i made no other changes to my phone. 3.1b2 did crash a few times while i was setting up options but seems to be stable enough once running.

[HTC EVO 3D] ljlukelj:
This is probably a stupid question, but do I have to temp-root before perm root? Or can I do the full root on a clean device?
[HTC EVO 3D] os10:
i think you need temp-root in order to run Titanium Backup and save all your programs & settings. if you don't need that then you should be good to go from scratch.
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
Clean device go straight to perm root..
[HTC EVO 3D] Los Altos:
Yes, I always got the same exact error. Im use using TWRP.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lcsevo:
Ok after reading the last 10 pages of this thread i can not find a answer to my issue. Im trying to do the PG86IMG.zip but i keep getting wrong image zipped. I have tried this with 3 different links for download and 2 different memory cards. Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
why stop to respond to a post, when i was already currently online with the sprint tech? like i said, it was the support dept, so i knew eventually they would be able to fix it. why hang up after 30min to call another tech and wait more minutes?

i NEVER in life said the file was impossible to be deleted,stop trying to make me seem like a moron. I said AT THAT POINT the file was IMPOSSIBLE to be deleted according to his instructions to go to recovery and select USB. you CANT do it if that file is still on there,the only options are to reboot and you cant use the vol up down AT THAT POINT. so stop trying change my words around to make your wrong self right

so please, if you plan on so called helping people, stop saying they dont have common sense. saying they are essentially morons is what actually starts arguments.

practice what you preach son
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
even if the download worked, theres NO mention of it in the tutorial (prior to today changing the tutorial)

if people can read, its not impossible to update ONE post, the first post by the op with the change. devs with roms make that one change to the first post all the time so what the heck are you talking about?

and lastly, you defy the logic of common sense: why make a tutorial, if you suggest people go research elsewhere to find out how to do things??? um DUH, the whole purpose of a tutorial is to find out all you need to knowto root in one place WITHOUT searching

i seriously question your education
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
dude.. leave already.. what don't u get.. now ur antagonizing another member..

read this.. YOUR PHONE IS ALREADY ROOTED.. GO AND EXPLORE THE REST OF THE FORUM.. U DON'T NEED TO BE IN HERE ANY MORE IF UR NOT LOOKING TO HELP PEOPLE OUT.. LEAVE
[HTC EVO 3D] gajendarksky:
I'm right there with you. I have tried un-installing and then re-installing several times, multiple computer and phone restarts, turned off my firewall and all that and nothing works.

Sometimes it hangs at 'Waiting for device' which if I unplug the phone and then plug it back in and then try it will get to the serial # which I then enter the beta key and then it hangs at 'Aquiring root method 3', so I have tried everything that I can think of and all that was suggested as well with nothing.

I am giving up for now until I come across a solution of some kind...very frustrating...:mad:
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
no, YOU leave

if you stop lying on me, telling untruths, maybe i would leave

but im not going to leave, because unlike YOU, im going to stay and help others without saying they dont have common sense, or are just a big dummy, like you did

so why dont you all do us a favor and leave, because you OBVIOUSLY dont know how to talk to people that need help
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
lying on you??? dude, im posting quotes by YOU.. how could i lie on you.. YOU wrote it..

and u have yet to help anyone.. all u've been doin is replying to me and talk about me to other members who have questions..

example: member has an issue and needs some help..

this would be your "helpful" reply

this is what a helpful reply looks like...

now go away...

Ok I am rooted but clockwork did not go onto my phone so assuming it failed as I cannot get to recovery. I get a evo with a Red triangle with a ! in it. I have tried to flash Trwp and Clockwork through fastboot but i now get partition does not exist and can not find a solution. When i was trying to flash PG86IMG i received wrong image zipped. I have tried this with 3 different links for download and 2 different memory cards. Any suggestions? Please help thanks

So far so good. I just flashed SU. Let's see what's next! Thanks a million for the tutorial.
[HTC EVO 3D] computerkid23:
Ok I am S-off somehow the revolutionary exe stop responding while trying to flash clockwork .....so can I just put the twrp PCMING(think I spelled it wrong) on my root of the sd and just flash that way??
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Yes, it will ask to update once you boot to hboot, let it do so.

Make sure that you delete it from your SDcard afterwards as well.

if you're on windows, don't save it as pcimg.zip, it will automatically save as a zip... just save it as pcimg.

Just ignore the girls having a catfight in here, they been at it a while now.
[HTC EVO 3D] outkast22:
update?

what has been updated in this 2.o version? Im sure it says somewhere, but sorry I dont see it. thx
[HTC EVO 3D] os10:
just a note for anyone who gets this working. afterwords today, i wasn't getting calls, and when i tried to to make a call i was directed to sprint customer service. they said my cell wasn't recognized by the tower? anyway i just gave my account info, they twiddled some knobs and it was all fixed in 5 minutes.

has anyone post a solution for Mac OSX yet?

thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] twiz0r:
I am attempting to do this at work here today and am having issues getting ADB installed on my work computer. Can't seem to get it to work for some reason.

I see at the bottom of the OP it has the fastboot.exe zip that saysyou can use that instead of ADB? How exactly does that work, or am I misunderstanding? When I run the file, a box comes up and then nothing. I think I'm missing something
[HTC EVO 3D] Bentenrai:
sorry, i thought a copy of adb.exe was included in the exploit file. it's not. i mirrored one, check the op again

EDIT: and you don't use fastboot in place of adb. both of them get used during different parts of the process. the included exe's i posted can be put into the exploit folder, so that they can easily be run by command line to ensure your device is connected.

you should not be double clicking on anything to run it except the exploit itself and you aren't at that point yet. ensure your drivers are installed and that you dl and move the adb and fastboot exes to your exploit folder. they are there so you can run adb devices and fastboot devices to make sure you're connected correctly, and you use fastboot to flash your custom recovery menu as well

hope this helps
[HTC EVO 3D] kingcliff00:
i would love the answer to this also
[HTC EVO 3D] Bentenrai:
Nothing at the moment. Check http://revolutionary.io to see when they move on from the beta or introduce a mac version. All news for the exploit itself will be there.

added to op
[HTC EVO 3D] twiz0r:
lol i figured out my issue...sorry it was a very long night
[HTC EVO 3D] Bentenrai:
tell me about it. ive barely left this desk in the last 16 hours. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] nextking:
I am having an issue...

i have followed all steps above but when the revolutionary command prompt opens, it just says "waiting for device..."

i have usb debugging enabled, charge only. installed drivers from revolutionary.io and ensured htc sync is not on my computer.

am i missing something? thanks in advance
[HTC EVO 3D] stryke504:
Great guide! Got it working on the first try. Simple enough. Suggestion, you should just create one file with everything already included, ADB, Fastboot, Recovery, and the Revolutionary file all in it.
[HTC EVO 3D] stryke504:
Have you checked to make sure that your phone is recognized by ADB? If it is recognized it should start automatically.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bentenrai:
Did you download both the fastboot and adb exe and run adb devices from within the exploit folder? if so, did it show a connected device? if not - do that. Also don't have your phone plugged in when installing drivers.
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
Does everyone know that all the information you need to get your beta key is right in front of you once you run the Revolution tool? You don't have to get your beta key to open the program. Just do all the requirements like unrooting your temp root and factory reset(make sure to backup with Titanium Backup first), make sure USB debugging is checked, make sure fastboot drivers are installed and HTC Sync is uninstalled, plug you phone into your computer, run Revolutionary and a command prompt looking Windows will pop up. It will say it discovered your phone and ask for key. Those #'s just before where you type your key in are the serial # you use to get your beta key. So go back to the Windows you left open in your browser and input the info(Revolutionary will also tell what hboot you have) and click on get key. Wait for it....wait for it...bam beta key produced. Now copy it and go back to the Revolutionary Window and paste it and press enter and it will do it's thing.

Thanks Bentenrai for making this though...This was a much needed tutorial. I honestly think that the people that are not familiar with fastboot and adb should have waited to do this until these tutorials were post, but I also understand why they didn't. You really broke it down well and made it very understandable on what to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] LouRock:
Nevermind, got it...
[HTC EVO 3D] aleksis2010:
they changed the version of revolutionary from 0.3pre6 to 0.3pre7,does anyone know what its different?
[HTC EVO 3D] nextking:
thanks man! i had my phone connected during driver install, long night like everyone else i guess lol
[HTC EVO 3D] ejittles:
I can't believe it took 6 pages before someone actually read the directions on their website. Yes, no need to use adb or fastboot. You just have to have the right drivers installed and the program will tell you everything you need.
[HTC EVO 3D] wineguy:
Thanks for all the info guys...

Hello all. Just rooted my phone . My question is , I just did a backup as soon as it was rooted. Does the back up with cwm backup all the settings instead of having to temp rooot and getting the radio info.

If not hoe can I backup or get all my settings and radio winmax information just incase something goes wrong ?

[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
In step 5 of the revised tutorial, theres still no mention of clockwork mod?....... why?

also,in those instructions,after you take out the battery,reinsert,then after you flash, you cant go back to the recovery and select toggle,its always jumps to trying to flash the image(creating bootloop). Why not just say let the phone boot up and delete it from there? It had people like me trying to go into recovery to do it when you cant. Why not mention the alternative or easier way to delete?

Again just trying to make it easier for folks,because as you see, even though its a supposedly step by step tutorial,people are STILL in here replying saying they having problems....
