[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
OP.. im trying to help people with their issues as they go thru the process.. i have sent u PM of some things that would eliminate confusion.. u have yet to respond and each "update" to ur tutorial u put out, u have not used my suggestions.. (honestly, im not sure what u change when u update it)...

please include in ur tutorial that when a person achieves S-OFF that they select "N" to install clockworkmod... as u can see from posts above as well as numerous other post, TOO many people are selecting "Y".... yes its been discussed throughout this thread, but why not nip it in the bud from the beginning instead of having people go through the issue then search to find a solution...

also remove renaming to PM86IMG.zip to just PM86IMG.... too many people have added .zip on top of a .zip.. once again, yes it has been discussed throughout the thread but when someone is following ur directions, they don't read every post before they begin...

again, im just trying to help ur tutorial out.. please refer to the PM i sent u a week ago, it will definitely help out with a lot of the issues people are having... thanx
[HTC EVO 3D] EVOme:
Why exactly are you all even using the PC86 file at all? Is this a process to gain more than s-off and clockwork recovery?
[HTC EVO 3D] k2thejx5:
i found a way that worked for me please pm me and ill explain it to you
[HTC EVO 3D] Neogenx:
Just curious, if you have unsigned Superuser zip that used to install, will you be able to update it? or would you have to manually update it? Just a random
[HTC EVO 3D] darksoul21:
On the device I went to the bootloader (vol down + pwr) selected fastboot while connected it should connect to the PC and the device should have "FASTBOOT USB". And I did not have the PG86IMG file on the card anymore for it to load. Entered the command, shutdown and powered up. Shut down again and went to the bootloader and selected recovery. In CWM selected the root zip and loaded it. Rebooted found SU and loaded TB from market. I got an Error 16 but my co worker did not. Go figure.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Great to see this guide alive and kicking. OP's got passion, shows in his work :)

windows issue

did anyone else have an issue installing the sdk onto an x64 vista...... It keep saying the jdk isn't installed, but it has been..... Multiple times???????????????
[HTC EVO 3D] DCLocal:
It's a bug in the installer; I had the same issue with Windows 7 64-bit. Just hit the back button (in the installer) and then hit next again and the install will continue.
[HTC EVO 3D] midnightmaraude:
I've read the OP twice and I still cannot find the part about doing a nandroid back up for the original image before loading a rom. ???:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
que paso amigo???

who said anything about doing a nandroid.. thats something that people do optionally... most people like to do a nandroid of the stock rom before they begin flashing all willy nilly...

im not sure of ur confusion... there is no reason for the OP to say anything about a nandroid..
[HTC EVO 3D] dashrink:
Sorry if this has been asked before, but will this work for the GSM version??

Thank you guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
no it won't.. GSM 3D has a different Hboot version thats not supported
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
very nice and helpful additions that u pointed out..

i also have asked the OP (sense he does make revisions) to include or change a couple of things..

Link to my post a few pages back

this is a sticky post, and one most people will use often, so these suggestions to improve the process are something helpful, and in no way stepping on toes...

OP, please take into consideration the suggestions u have been handed repeatedly..
[HTC EVO 3D] ibfromoakcali:
ARE YOU SERIOUS......???????? I really need to get home and check it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Action B:
Okay, I didn't do a factory reset because I just outright skipped the temp root because it wasn't working for me. Guess I kinda just went for it and made a mistake or something.

I DO have root and S-OFF but I am getting error 16.

Should I attempt a factory reset now or go ahead and connect to sprint to try and fix my problem?

EDIT: I did not do a factory reset, I just connected to sprint and they solved my problem in about a minute.
[HTC EVO 3D] Skyphos:
BK718: Agreed. Those were nice additions too that i didnt notice until you pointed them out. I read probably the first half of this whole thread to get a feel of bug's before jumping in yesterday. Sadly, most of what I read was just people who are scared/unfamiliar of the process and asking questions that could have (and in many cases that were) addressed already. I wish we could help the OP go through and delete those types of posts and leave ones with good Q/A or bug information.

I hope it wasnt too forward of me, but I PM'd my post to the OP for fear of it gettin burried in the thread. He's put so much effort into providing a good guide i'd like to feel like i did my part to help.

This wasnt my first "dance" with rooting/flashing so the process is pretty much the same...once you do one and UNDERSTAND what its doing its really not hard to figure out. I think theres a big gap in the knowledge levels of people wanting to root....some are DEV's/coders, some still are power users and really know whats going on, and there seems to be little middle ground between those and "i just want to root...give me a one step .exe plz." That makes for a tough crowd to tailor to.
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
well hopefully he will pay attention to yours. i also PM'd him after i wrote my post cause i knew it would get lost.. although i never got a reply, and he put out 2 revisions after i PM'd my suggestion (just don't know what those revisions really consisted of...) neither one of those revisions included the suggestions i made to smooth out the process, and eliminate some of the initial confusion..
[HTC EVO 3D] Skyphos:
Maybe he'll respond. I havent seen a reply yet. At least we tried....

Maybe someone will benefit from this if they do a search haha.
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
wow, i only suggested they make 2 changes to the guide and they tried to CRUCIFY me

i BEEN said the guide was slightly confusing and need much more clarification, they gave me holy hell, smh

i guess im not in the cool clique
[HTC EVO 3D] smalk:
I had to complete a factory reset last week after trying to root. I returned today from being out of town and tried to use the Revolutionary exploit. I receive a messgae stating that my device is not yet supported.

Any ideas on where to go from here?

Thank you!
[HTC EVO 3D] Vivix729:
Quick question for a Canadian friend. He has the Rogers version of the 3D (presumably GSM). Would these instructions apply to him as well? I couldn't find the answer in the GSM section of the 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
What is your hboot version? Only 1.30.0000 and 1.40.0000 are supported.
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
Searching here would have given u the answer.. Which unfortunately is no.. Hboot version is not supported.
[HTC EVO 3D] smalk:

can you help me?

thank you in advance for your help
[HTC EVO 3D] poor_red_neck:
Hi everyone,

I've read as much as my eyes can allow me, and have searched to no avail.

Revolutionary went fine... I do have S-Off.

I do have clockword, and have already created a nandroid backup.

The only step that is failing is flashing the SU zip... I have tried downloading from here: http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and it fails at the following:

I verified the md5 is correct.... not a corrupt file.

This is a Evo 3D Sprint...

is there any reason to go with twrp recovery over clockwork?
[HTC EVO 3D] arozer:
S-off problem!!

Okay, I've this these steps before 2 times and this was my third time.

However, this time I made a mistake.

While I was obtaining S-OFF, I accidentally unplugged my phone.

Then I reconnected it, and tried it again.

Now I get this message, everytime:
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
i think its personal preference,then some say certain recoveries can wipe better than the others blah blah... i think its all a placebo effect for real

even though it was the first time i even heard of it when rooting my 3d, i flashed twrp, seems to do everything i need it to do when im flashing new roms, (previously i had only heard of anon and clockwork)

in theory as long as you have a recovery, you should be able to flash roms, do wipes etc with no problem

just that when you flash certain roms now or in the future, the rom writer may recommended a recovery that works best for their rom
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
yeah disconnecting while trying to get s-off could have very ill effects

off top i would say try to get back to a clean stock rom and start over

maybe somebody else that had their cord pulled can chime in on where to go next for you
[HTC EVO 3D] kellybrf:
alright, thanks. i just wanted to make sure twrp wasnt included for a specific reason other than choice and that i didnt make a mistake by installing clockwork from revolutionary.
[HTC EVO 3D] dmcduck:
I was able to root (have s-off and su) but I keep getting messages that Maps has stopped unexpectedly and I have to FC. Also, I've been unable to get wireless tether to work (I got the 3.1b2 ver).

Anyone else have similar problems?

Edit:

An update of google maps through the market seems to have fixed the FC issue. Any help with wireless tether? That's the main reason I rooted!
[HTC EVO 3D] smalk:
Hi All-

My hboot is 1.40.1 and I get the following message when using Revolutionary:

"Your device is not supported at this time"

In a screenshot in a recent post it shows that user with the same Hboot version that I have was able to use Revolutionary. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
if thats ur hboot verison, that means u already have S-OFF... does it not say that in hboot at the top???
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
is there an update available for Maps?? or maybe uninstall and reinstall.

as for the wireless tether... have u tried going with the hotsop hack instead?? much better then an ad hoc...
[HTC EVO 3D] smalk:
Ok thanks to all!

I have S off but get an error when I go into recovery. I do not get an option to flash the PG86IMG.zip. What next?

Thank you!
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
im using viper rom

the one called "wifi tether" with a yellow logo, seems to work

it came with the rom, and the program is not in the market

maybe someone has the .apk

also in viper rom the hotspot is unlocked
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
what is the error?

if you have that file in the ROOT of your sd card it should flash it automatically when u go into recovery
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
well they put twrp in because they were the ones that helped develop the crack to get s-off lol

but if you have clockwork you have a very good very reputable recovery. no worries
[HTC EVO 3D] venon92:
Ok thank your for your respond Im waiting a S-OFF
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
no.. u are not supposed to flash that in recovery.. as per #2 of the 5th step:

u are supposed to do that from hboot.. the PG86IMG.zip is the twrp recovery..
[HTC EVO 3D] fdot:
might i add, before freaking out

my friends after rooting, and initial boot failed "hands free activation" dont freak if it fails. just reboot.

resolved with a reboot.

[HTC EVO 3D] htadeja:
Hello Everyone;

Got exactly the same problem in here as noted on post #685. I have gone as far as S-OFF and Nandroid Backup. The only thing I can't do now to complete the step process is to flash the superuser. I tried downloading su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip from a mirror site as noted on Step 07 but still my phone does not recognize it. I am not comfortable flashing any cutom ROM until I get this issue resolved. As I have said this posted earlier but so far I dont see a resolution to it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Addendum;

Sorry for the inconveniences guys. I found a solution to the above. I downloaded the file su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned. Installed it on recovery mode by choosing install zip file from sdcard. If you follow step 05 precisely then you should be ok, which i failed to do so.

Installation successful!

Thanks again guys for job well done.

[HTC EVO 3D] dmcduck:
Where would I acquire this hotspot hack?
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
quick search in this development forum would have landed u here...

or if u didnt wanna go that route, might i suggest the plethora of ROMs in this forum that have included the hack (minus avalaunchmod's ROM, maybe do to ethics, he is not supporting it, but he does include a working wifi tether)

ur choice.. :D

Yep, found that. Tried that. Busted my phone (no more settings). Good thing I did a nandroid first.

Root with Latest OTA 1.50 HBOOT?

Ok so I seem to be getting mixed signals in regards to rooting with the latest OTA update. I just got my Evo 3d yesterday and sadly it already had the latest OTA update with 1.50 HBOOT installed. Some say I cant, others say I just need the latest HBOOT drivers. Is there a way I can root with the latest 1.50 HBOOT? If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
well the guide in this thread doesnt do hboot 1.5
[HTC EVO 3D] CMeys:
I've tried this numerous times and each time after loading recovery from from the fastboot (I've tried every method I've found), no matter what, immediately after the reboot I've got a phone icon with a green power circle on it in the middle of the screen and it then changes to the phone icon with the red warning triangle with explanation point in the middle of the screen. It never boots into recovery. Nothing more happens unless I pull the battery and then it reboots normally. Bootloader shows S-off, though when I did the S-off I did get the "communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted" error. Bootloader though shows S-off. How do I get past this red triangle warning screen? Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] BlackJin10dan:
Do I need to activate my phone before rooting?

I've tried to run Revolutionary and all I get is a blinking cursor.

EDIT: Do I need to be connected to the internet when I run Revolutionary?
[HTC EVO 3D] Bentenrai:
For ppl complaining and and fastboot not necessary, I only included so ppl who never set up advice or fastboot can have experience running device id command before diving into this somewhat complex process.

if u can't paste in CMD. click on the top left of the CMD window and then scroll over EDIT, then click on paste. It should start working right away!

Hey guys I have a Sensation, but the process is the same. Just wondering why you are factory resetting your phones?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Instructions work great! I skipped your "factory reset" and as far as I can tell, the only consequence was that I had to make a call afterward, got error 16, and got automatically connected to Sprint and they reactivated my profile. Easier than recovering from a factory reset I must say!

Just a note: at the end of your step 6, the installation of the twrp recovery worked fine but it doesn't automatically appear on the menu (recovery option doesn't appear). I had to reboot to the hboot menu to see it. I don't think skipping the factory reset had anything to do with that.

[HTC EVO 3D] FatChevy:
yeah I skipped reseting it on my wifes phone and no issues

Question about recovery

I cannot get the recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img to go through. I'm using windows 7 machine it does recognize fastboot devices. I can't find clockwork mod recovery in rom manager. any help or ideas where to go or what to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] jmana:
So the factory reset disables the USB Debugging, how the heck do you re enable it?!
[HTC EVO 3D] steb0ne:
Thanks Bentenrai, for the right up! I happened to "forget" to do the factory reset...but it appears to have worked. I have S-off and root.... Does anyone know if there will be some kind of adverse effect because I didn't factory reset it?

Just so y'all know.. I had the 1.40 HBOOT version. It did install CWM for me after running the revolutionary.exe, so I skipped the recovery instructions... I went thru the steps up until the end and flashed the su zip and it gave me some kind of error at the end..but on reboot, it appears to have flashed and is working.

Thanks again to all that contributed!
[HTC EVO 3D] azrienoch:
I was having huge troubles getting past Method 3 on Windows 7. Tried absolutely everything. And I mean everything. Here's what finally worked after 15 hours of trying. Worked for everyone else that's tried it. Hopefully you can save yourself a few of those hours.

Get Ubuntu on a flash drive, and save this command somewhere you can get it once you're in Ubuntu.

Boot up Ubuntu from the flashdrive.

Open up a terminal and put that command in.

Do what the prompt tells you to do.

If it says failed to get root, factory reset your phone.

Then enable usb debugging, plug in your phone, and run that command again.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I doubt it. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it is in the instructions because it's always the "cleanest" route with the least risk of problems. For the more "seasoned" xda rooters, you could probably skip it and just deal with any minor issues if they occur. It's not like we're flashing a new ROM so I think resetting just gives you fewer risks of things you may have to correct later. For me it was worth the (slight) risk.

I have everything done and the phone is now rooted with S-Off, however it has a bad radio for some reason. I cant make calls, I cant send texts, and I cant receive texts. But I can receive emails which is weird. Anyone have an idea?

I tried flashing the stock ROM but rooted onto the phone and that worked, but I still have a bad radio.

EXactly!

I'm at work for another hour and a half. With all this great troubleshooting and teamwork going on ill have lots to add.

V1.0 coming tonight, with troubleshooting section
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I believe that's covered in the OP, unless you have a different problem. The common problem is, you try to make a call and you get "error 16" and you are transferred to a Sprint rep. Just let them help you. They'll reset your profile in order to reprovision the phone and you'll be up and running in minutes.
