2 Possible causes come to mind,

Hands free activation or PIL update failed or,

you haven't manually signed back into your google accounts yet.

Most likely going to be the first reason as I know you don't need a google account for your phone number to receive or send texts
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
Honestly they should have made an application that everyone has to fill out in order to use Revolution. It is unpolished and buggy and if you have a fear of fastboot and/or adb...or you just plain don't know how to search the forums then you should have to wait for a more polished version.
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
Liquid it really isn't that bad. If you follow instructions and can flash a recovery manually through fastboot you can get this. When you do boot your device the first time just make sure you let the hands free activation go through and let it update your prl. You can hit cancel on the firmware update though. Then sign back into you Google account.

Also, Everyone and if you could add this to the OP too, attn1 from AlphaRev team told me to uninstall superuser and busybox and reboot and not be temp rooted before running this. I went as far as doing a Titanium Backup and then Factory Reset before I ran Revolutionary.
[HTC EVO 3D] iliapiano:
What passwords are you talking about?
[HTC EVO 3D] creektrack:
Same issue here, but I let the hands free activation do its thing and all is well in the 3rd dimension...
[HTC EVO 3D] Addictedtothegreenguy:
my phone is going crazy i cant send messages or make calls after i got my S-off a little help would be nice
[HTC EVO 3D] Apeleon:
you google accounts passwords
[HTC EVO 3D] Westfire:
I am having the TB issue as well. Anyone figured out a solution? I am trying to work it out as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] HSadler93:
When you make a phone call do you get Error 16 if you stay on the line?
[HTC EVO 3D] MedicWill:
So you redid the hands free activation?

How do I get back and get the HFA redone?
[HTC EVO 3D] Apeleon:
Did you let your phone complete the hands free activation or PRL Update?

If you are having issues go to setting > system updates > Update PRL

try that then get back to us.
[HTC EVO 3D] nerv666999:
amen brother.......

no problems with Revolution tho had to install CWM manually (didn't someone write that there wasn't one for shooter?), after which you need to reboot to install su zip. other than that cake! Bring on the ROMS!
[HTC EVO 3D] killi:
The tool installed cwm recovery just fine for me.

However, I got that su error. Tried re-downloading and reflashing many times, always getting that error. I decided to skip it and reboot into the phone. I allowed it to do the activation, prl, and firmware stuff. All apps work and show root, including titanium backup, and work properly.
[HTC EVO 3D] Apeleon:
Go to settings > Applications > manage Applications > select TB,force stop,clear data,uninstall

Then go to market and reinstall only after you have superuser and busybox properly installed
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
I tried hastly setting up my Windows PC, but couldn't get crap installed on it(HTC drivers, fastboot). Switched to my barely alive laptop with linux and had no problems.

ALL YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE IS YOU CAN ACCESS FASTBOOT FROM COMMAND PROMPT. IF SO YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM.

I ran it on linux, then flashed twrp recovery, nand backup everything except secure XXX(which took 14 minutes) and then flashed su binary zip. Rebooted and let it activate and update prl. Canceled firmware upgrade and installed busybox.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattinky11:
Just wanted to chime in to say that everything went smoothly here. Followed the directions, everything ran as it should, clockwork installed and backed up nand before even leaving recovery. Once rebooting, handsfree activation ran, updated prl, checked for firmware updates (none), then logged into my google account. Only have tested msl reader and titanium backup and both have root. Many thanks to all involved and looking forward to trying out some of the fine work done by the devs here.
[HTC EVO 3D] Apeleon:
That was me,I wasn't aware that there was a support CWM yet. Did you manually install it with the app through root or through fastboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] Apeleon:
In all honesty,this was one of the smoothest roots for me,I remember flashing the mytouch 3g back in the day and it was horrid for me,specially since I was just beginning!
[HTC EVO 3D] Mexiking10:
I see a lot of people having this issue.

**IF** hands free activation does not properly restore your voice and text services, place a call and stay on the line until you are connected with Customer Service. They will restore your services.
[HTC EVO 3D] nerv666999:
Doesn't seem to want to update.....I wonder what Sprint will make of all the "help my phone won't work" calls they will get over the next 24-48 hrs?
[HTC EVO 3D] Westfire:
Tried this and still a no-go. Busybox, ShootMe, Term. Em. all worked with SU.
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Or just go into Settings -> System Updates -> Update Profile.
[HTC EVO 3D] alnzbail:
I wished this tool could be used for mac

D3VO
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
VirtualBox -> Install Windows/Linux
[HTC EVO 3D] Mexiking10:
No, this is some error with Sprint. Error 16 failed to authenticate or something like that. The only way to fix it is to stay on the line and get connected with CS (they'll know what the problem is already so it's pretty straightforward to fix it).
[HTC EVO 3D] lmbebo:
I'm trying to set this all up under my bootcamp partition.

Would have been nicer with a mac...
[HTC EVO 3D] unknown_g:
Why are people saying that CWM recovery is not supported with S-off? During the S-off process it asked me if I wanted to install a recovery and it would download it from the internet. I said yes and now i have CWM from AlphaRev. I was able to flash su from it and do a backup. Granted the backup was over 1GB. What's the diff. between the 2 recoveries? Why doesn't the CWM recovery work with this s-off?
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Same here. Worked fine for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] Addictedtothegreenguy:
I get error mssg 16 and it tells me to call the number given to me by my service provider. Then hangs up, I called cs on a different phone and did about 7 profile updates and 2 prls nd got nowhere
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
I have to that.

Call up Sprint (*2 is fine), Option 4, Having Trouble with Phone. Tell them you were having trouble with your connection before and someone gave you the MSL to fix it, but you misplaced it. They'll give it to you right away. The entire call took about 1 minute. I literally just got mine.

Then open the dialer, dial ##3282#, type in the MSL. Data Profile -> Menu -> Restore. The phone will reboot and go through Hands Free Activation again.
[HTC EVO 3D] unknown_g:
I found the answer and it may be that people are not reading what is posted or maybe jumping to conclusions. The post by TeamWin was not that other recoveries are NOT compatible, but they felt that there were features missing that's why they came out with their own recovery. Straight from the horses mouth.

"TeamWin Recovery Project, or twrp for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features that we deemed missing from current recoveries. After a lot of hard work for weeks, we are happy to announce the release of twrp in anticipation of unrEVOked & AlphaRev's revolutionary release."
[HTC EVO 3D] Addictedtothegreenguy:
Can't I just download msl reader and get it that way? Then so the rest of what you said?

Oh wow. I'm a moron lmfao. I totally forgot we have root now -_-
[HTC EVO 3D] resdog70:
Its all gravy here.

I pulled the windows files down, extracted to a folder on my desktop. Made sure Fastboot was off on the phone. Ran the EXE, entered the Beta Key and started the process. HBOOT version was the higher version number.

It began in Mode 3 and completed everything without issue.

On restart, got prompted for Activation, PRL etc. I let it do it's thing.

Tried a phone call, got the error 16 and was transferred to a Sprint Rep who walked me through the reset process. They asked if I had done anything to the phone recently. I said I leave it on all night with 4G on, and while doing a data transfer, I forgot to plug it into the charger causing it to run out of battery mid-transfer. ;)

After two attempts to clear the Error 16, their system still showed it as an error, so the rep had to go in and do a manual removal of the error.

Now all calls and text messages work fine. (Tip: you can text yourself to see if it's working)

Just wanted to post my results. Everything went smoothly on all levels, save for the Error 16 issue, which Sprint did a great job of removing.

I have sent a donation to the team for this, and I HIGHLY recommend anyone who does this without issue to do the same!

SO happy to have ROM Manager, Titanium Backup and Wireless Tether working full tilt again!

Hey

So I got S-off. Said it worked. Have yet to get into the recovery mode (power and volume down at boot from power off?)

Anyways, I rebooted. Went through the hand free activation. Said activated but when I tried a call (multiple) get the message recording from sprint. Trying the data reset through with my MSL code. Going through the HFA again, still waiting on contacting network now ...

[HTC EVO 3D] lmbebo:
i called sprint. Told to power down. wait for 30 seconds. then power up and make a call.
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
I got the fix, but they have to do it on their end. It's called a CHS refresh (or something like that). You have to get to Tech Support. Then do a full restart on the phone. It'll activate itself again and then work.
[HTC EVO 3D] Addictedtothegreenguy:
different from a factory reset? and how many loops did you have to jump through. last question could i just ask for a chs refresh

Error 16 Sprint department info.

When I was talking with the rep, I asked where they were located. They said Maryland.

Even MORE interesting is they mentioned that their call center is only setup to handle the Error 16 issue. I kinda think that with this procedure giving everyone an Error 16, that they were getting overloaded with calls.

To those of you who keep trying to make a call, get the Error 16 message, but it hangs up on you, I can only suggest to keep trying.

That, or call Sprint Tech support and ask to be transferred to the Error 16 department.

When I was on the call with them, they had me call the following test number: 1-888-546-0314. If the call goes through, it will say "Your service is now active".

Even though the call went through, the rep was telling me the error was still flagging on their end. The rep had to manually go into my account and remove the error flag.
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
I got it fixed like this. Call up. Go to tech support. Ask them to do a chs refresh and then reboot your phone. It should go through activation and then work. You don't need that special department.

Make sure you put the serial that Revolutionary gives you. It starts with "HT". Don't use your ESN. And it's case-sensitive.
[HTC EVO 3D] Negrito:
Okay, so I'm having a little trouble. I dont ever recall installing HTC Sync, yet I keep getting the hang up at "Acquiring root (method 3)" which I read you have to uninstall. so if I uninstall the only HTC program on my computer which is 'HTC Driver Installer" the the revolutionary hangs at "Waiting for device". So i installed the drivers from unrevoked and it gets through the first part but once it reboots into fast boot the computer cant see the phone anymore, even though I can see the device is in fastboot.

any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] Drewmungus:
No sir didn't work for me. I used msl reader to get mine. I ended staying on the line and having sprint fix it for me. The woman on the phone was very nice. I was so nervous calling spring sprint right after I s-offed my phone, I was kinda expecting some question on what happened, but no we talked about the weather! Everytime she apologized about the wait I almost broke out laughing :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
An incredibly long story short: before you have them refresh your CHLR, be sure you have no disabled apk's! Certain apk's (I don't know which) that are disabled by some as bloat are required to complete the CHLR refresh, otherwise it won't work and the Sprint rep will be baffled for *hours*.

If you've messed around with disabling bloat, it's really just best to do a hard reset before you call.

[HTC EVO 3D] gbeal10:

[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Download the su zip. Place it on the root of your sd meaning "not in any folders". Then power off your phone. Then hold volume down and tap the power on button and keep holding power down and you should see a white screen appear. From there with the volume rocker go press down untill the option "recovery" is highlighted. Then tap the power button again. "Wait" then you should boot into recovery. Then from there with the volume rocker choose install update zip from sd or flash update zip one of the two and tap the power button. I'm going off memory. From there select the "su" zip and tap the power button again. It should flash the zip. Then highlight reboot and you should be good to go. Take into mind that I'm thinking you have team wins recovery and that you already have made a nand. Also the choices might not be word for word but they should be close enough.

[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
This statement is untrue! Don't post if you don't know what your talking about. Just cuz people are having problems flashing CWM from AlphaRex's exploit, doesn't mean AlphaReX's exploit doesn't flash the recovery. It does flash CWM! The first time I ran Revolutionary, I got CWM installed on my phone with no problems. You just need to makes sure everything is set up right before you run it.

[LG Revolution] nipslan:
My 4G hits 20 Mbps constantly. I would hate to tether to my PC and hit my data limit in 20 minutes.

Does anyone know if the LG Revolution can be configured to rate limit the download or upload connections? This way I can make sure that I'm not over using it?

If nobody is doing this I will see if I can program it, my skills are a bit rusty though.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I'm not sure what you are saying, but just because speedtest shows 20mb/s doesn't mean you are actually doing that while tethered to a computer. The only way is if you are streaming high def movies our downloading heavy files. To keep an eye on data usage you can use the My Verizon app.
[LG Revolution] nipslan:
For example, I turn on the tether and let a friend and his laptop connect. If he had bittorrent running he could easily max out my usage in less than 1 hour under ideal circumstances.

Currently I don't know of a way to prevent this, trusting my friend may be a mistake. If I had controls on bandwidth and even firewall out some ports/protocols like bittorrent then I wouldn't have to worry at all.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Tell your friend to get his own Internet.... Just sayin... Lol problem solved!

Bittorrent and a limited data plan don't go together. And yes, your friend could eat up your usage real fast and cause you overage charges.
