[HTC EVO 3D] jahnile:
UPDATE 08-20-11.​

Ok Guys, I have been getting quite a few PMs and replies to the post regarding the New (OTA) software update. Rather than replying to every post or PM Here is the Answer...

If you have updated your phone using the Offical OTA with the latest Hboot 1.50 Then you CANNOT Root your phone using the Revolutionary method. The Revolutionary Tool only supports 1.30 and 1.40 Hboot for NOW.

In short if you Update your phone in Excitment or without thinking you are SOL for NOW...

Update 08-17-11​

As Pointed out by a few users there is an update to the revolutionary Tool it's now 0.4Pre4, I have updated the revolutionary Zip found in the link provided to include this new update...

First and foremost many thanks to Unrevoked,AlphaRev,TeamWin and all the other devs that have made this possible. Endless RESPECT & LOVE to the Devs...

Now on to the fun and EASY stuff. There are a lot of guide on how to final permanently root your Evo 3D. This to me is just another method and hopefully others who are having issues with doing the process will find this easy as 123...:) It may look like a lot of reading but it's very simple and detailed.

Hope This will help those who have been frustrated with other methods/guide

I have tired both ADB and this method to obtain S-Off and then custom recovery... I have also included all the files needed in 1 link to complete this steps.

AFTER DOWNLOADING ALL FILES PLEASE EXTRACT JUST THE REVOLUTIONARY FOLDER. PLACE THE OTHER THREE ZIP FILES AS IS ON THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD (PG86IMG_eng-hboot, su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned AND TWR). tHE htc DRIVERS IS OPTONAL, IF YOU HAVE THE DRIVERS INSTALL THEN YOU CAN DELETE IT.

Prerequisite​

STEP 1: S-Off & ClockWork Mod Recovery (CMR)

1. There are 4 zip files in the folder from the link provided, the ONLY 1 you should extract is the revolutionary folder. The other three files should remain as zip files and should be on the root of your SD card...

2. Make sure you have ADB enable on your device (Menu--Settings--Applications--Development-- USB Debugging).

3. Connect your phone to your PC, select charge only. If you do not have the HTC drivers installed then you show find the exe in the revolutionary folder. Run the .exe to install the HTC android phone usb device. To verify if the device has been install right click (My computer) or (computer) ---Manage-- Device Manager--Double click Disk drives. Your phone should be listed a usb device.

Once this is done​

4. Open up the revolutionary folder, you should copy/extract all the files by now. Run revolutionary.exe. You will now need to go to http://revolutionary.io/ to get your Beta key. Just click on download (u already have the file) so you don't have to save it. Enter your Hboot version and serial number, generate your key. Enter your key exactly as shown...

5.If you have successfully enter your key the S-off Process will begin. You will be prompted to download Clockwork Mod Recovery (CMR). hit Y and enter to install CMR... Your Phone should reboot and once you are on your home screen you should have S-Off... :) End of Step 1...

Ok now that you have obtain S-off it's Time for Team Win custom recovery Project (TWRP) + Eng H-boot. I would recommend you check to see if you have clockwork mod recovery before you continue. Power down your phone. REMOVE the battery, put it back in. Hold your hand on the volume down button while pressing the power button. release the power button after a few secs while still holding the volume down button. Your phone should boot to Hboot/bootloader menu. You should see S-off on the top. Now press volume down to select recovery and press the power button to boot into recovery. Your phone should boot into clockwork mod recovery. Make a nandroid backup of your system if you like. Now install "Super user fixed" seeing that you are already in recovery.

Go back to the clockwork mod recovery main menu if you did a back up, if not select install zip... look for su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned and install/flash. reboot your phone. You can open your App draw to see if you have super user install :) Just for fun...

You are almost home...

STEP 2. Flash Eng Hboot, Team WIN recovery

1. Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and look for PG86IMG_eng-hboot RENAME it to PG86IMG. If you do not have it on your SD card then copy/move it to the root of your SD card.

2. Remove your phone from the computer and power of your phone. Remove the battery and put it back in. Reboot into recovery (hold vol down + power button for a few secs). Your phone should boot to the bootloader and it should pick up the PG86IMG which is your eng-hboot.

3. Press the Vol up button for yes to flash the PG86IMG. Reboot your phone when done. You have now install your eng-hboot without ADB...

4. Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and REMOVE or REMAIN the PG86IMG. I would recommend you just remove it. Make sure you have the zip folder TWR on your SD card. If not now is a good time to do so. Once this is done remove the phone from the computer and power down your phone. Remove the battery and then back in.

5. Boot into recovery once more (should be a semi pro by now :) ) Remember vol down and power for a few secs.

6. Go to recovery (vol down) then press power to select. Your phone should boot into clockwork mod recovery. Select install zip... look for TWR and flash/install it. Once down reboot your phone You have successfully install a custom recovery(Team WIN Recovery) AGAIN no ADB or fastboot... You can download quickboot from the market and boot into reocvery which should take u to Team WIN Recovery Project...

7. WE ARE ALL DONE, if you have follow these steps correctly....:cool:

Update 08-17-11 Alternate Method ​

Greetings All,

Did not want to start a new Thread so am Adding an Alternate method for those of you who have been asking if you can Flash TWR and the Eng H-boot Via the Bootloader. The step above was a step by step guide for beginners. Here is the Alternate method for standard & advance users.

If you do not want to Flash the two Zips (Eng hboot, TWR) via recovery then do this:

Steps

1. Obtain S-Off via revolutionary (it is up to you if you want to flash CWR , works both ways...) Reboot... Once Done...

2. Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and look for PG86IMG_eng-hboot RENAME it to PG86IMG

3.Boot into recovery, it should automatically pick up the PG86IMG and ask if you would like to update. Select Yes and once done reboot your phone.

4.Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and REMOVE or REMAIN the PG86IMG. I would recommend you just remove it.

5. Now you will need to rename the TWR to PG86IMG, disconnect your phone from the PC once done.

6. Boot into recovery, it should automatically pick up the PG86IMG and ask if you would like to update. Select Yes and once done reboot your phone.

7. Important: You would need to go to recovery 1 final time to flash the Super User (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned).

ALL DONE ,yet another simple way to Root Your HTC EVO3D
