helping people root their phones is not a reference to u knowing all the benefits of rooting. That just means u know "how" to do it. But i do thank u for enlightening me on ur accomplishments (i've been doing this since the mytouch 3g's and htc hero's)..

i do agree this phone is very beastly but u will still be limited by remaining locked. there are root only apps, specific root required back-ups, kernel modifications, and yes visual customizations that go beyond sense 3.0 skinning.. (thats just to name a few)

as for the wired connection.. maybe i should have added in my description that i left my laptop at work and only had my netbook running windows 7 starter edition..;).. im guessing u could see where ICS would be a problem..

anyway, i understand (to a certain degree) why u would not want to root and im not trying to go back and forth with you.. the fact of the matter is this development section wouldn't be heading in the direction its going in if the benefits didn't heavily out-way the disadvantages.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
DjR3Z, fellow DJ here, so you can probably understand that I desperately need root! I had it with my EVO3D hboot 1.30. Had to get replacement so now I have the dreaded hboot 1.5!!! Any idea on when or maybe the progress of unlocking 1.5?? I use my EVO to tether my laptop and iPad and use the DJ program Traktor. I can wirelessly DJ with my iPad from anywhere in the room as long as both iPad and PC are on the same wifi router. Please help!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
try the htc method found here.. it should give u what u desire.. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] mynigman:
mine keeps stopping before s-off. it goes into fastboot, tells me to give back the lemons, and after the process starts i keep getting "communication w/ phone interrupted". any help. i also need this rooted. no probs on my last evo3d now i just got this white one and its really busting my b@lls!! i have the 1.40 hboot so it aint that. feelin kinda stuck. tried countless times removing installing removing installing reboot remove battery reboot... etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
hhmmm.. i haven't heard of anyone rooting the white evo 3d yet.. (even tho i don't see why it would be any different..)

i know u said u have 1.40 hboot.. but does it end in 0000?

also, have u tried unticking fastboot then going thru the process of applying s-off?
[HTC EVO 3D] mynigman:
hey, thnx for the response. i gave up after countless hours last night. anyway... yeah my hboot is 1.40.0000 and i did uncheck fastboot as i discovered after several tries with it checked. my last several attempts its been unchecked. usb debugging on all pre req met.
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
well the only thing i can come up with is it being the white version.. although we need someone else to prove this..

anyone else out there with a white phone trying to root using revolutionary to root??? come out come out wherever u are... ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] mynigman:
yeah, i wish someone would. i went and tried on a diff windows machine running vista rather than 7 but nada!!Anyone know the specefics of htcs unlock?? can i use the wifi tether app? i might just be obligated to do their method. what are its limitations as opposed to s-off in this thread?
[HTC EVO 3D] Tragicwayz:
I have the black evo 3d and have the same issues, On revolutionary it states root was successful but the phone still says s-on, Ive tried everything at least ten times and I have 1.40 hboot but still no root.
[HTC EVO 3D] mynigman:
guess we're s.o.l.?? im going to try one more time n if i cant get it, ima be forced to do htc's method.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tragicwayz:
Ok I got mine to work, Try taking out your sd card while using revolutionary and then see if you get s-off, after two tries it worked, then I put sd card back in with recovery zip and flashed the recovery, I have s-off and full root now. Hope this helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] hawkman610:
I started off with Hboot 1.30

After going through the first part of the process with Revolutionary I get to the point where it boots into fastboot. Then I get a message that says

Rebooting to fastboot (again)...

Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again

After getting to this point a few times, somehow it got to where I now have Hboot 1.40.1100 and S-OFF

EDIT: It completed the S-OFF like it was supposed to. I got a message the next go around from the Revolutionary program saying, What are you thinking? LOL

I completed going through the instructions in the post 1 and it seems to be all good! Yeah, I have ROOT!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] led2112:
Excellent tutorial. Rooted no problem. One question. It seems all me programs and settings were saved. I have s-Off and can boot into custom recovery. Is this normal? I didn't follow the temp root procedure.
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
Argh....stuck on damn Zerging Root for days! Fastboot Off, USB Debug on. Drivers installed and never had HTC sync on this pc. Gonna shut down pc and reboot and see if that helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
Cool. Just got it to work. Started the steps over from scratch on my wifes little Acer netbook. It worked after the 4th attempt on it, said connection failed. But I still ended up S-Off and was able to load recovery and SU. Life is good. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] jthomas89466:
If I missed this in the thread I am sorry. Will this work on H-Boot 1.50.0000

Thanks,

[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
Not at this time. You need to use the root method provided by HTC. It's still being worked on from what I understand.
[HTC EVO 3D] RootUserDWR:
Quick question. Is the HTC method going to give me the same desired affect that this truly valued and trusted site gives? Only asking because I lost my hboot 1.40 3vo in baking accident and it got replaced by a DEMON PHONE running hboot 1.50.
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
There is a thread on rooting using HTC method. It explains what you must do to flash roms etc. It leaves you s-on, but unlocks your bootloader. You need to flash via bootloader I believe.
[HTC EVO 3D] Dudemeister:
Last night I decided to go ahead and root the 3D, using this tutorial. I was able to get everything installed except for the TWRP portion.

When I try to install TRW using the "install from zip" method, it starts, but then says the installation was aborted.

The device works as is, and I do have root access. I primarily wanted to get root so that I can get access to the WiFi tether, and maybe remove some of the Sprint bloatware. I already installed and tested Barnacle WiFi so I'm happy with that. I have yet to find some utility that lets me uninstall the pre-loaded apps, but I'm still looking. At the moment I don't plan on changing the ROM.

Now here are the questions:

1. What exactly does TWRP give me.

2. Is it required for some functionality

BTW, this morning I tried to make a call, and I got the dreaded "Error 16". I stayed on line and the rep got the error fixed in about 5 minutes. Is this something I'm going to hit on next time I do something with this like changing the ROM or updating to a new version?
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
TWRP is the recovery. i would HIGHLY suggest getting this flashed. Its a menu with functions such as backing up, flashing roms, mods, and any other thing that u could think of (not boot screens).. wiping different caches, system, data, etc, etc...

no it is not required.. but HIGHLY recommended.. root without a recovery doesn't make too much sense... if anything was to happen to your phone in the process of u doing something, it would be nice to go into twrp and restore a previous nandroid backup...

try this...

download this zip.

rename it to just PG86IMG (actually just remove extra writing).. so technically it should read as PG86IMG.zip (but the .zip part will most likely be hidden because windows doesnt show extensions by default)

put that file on the root of your SD card..

turn ur phone completely off, pull battery out for 5-10 sec.. replace battery, and while holding vol down press power... u should boot into the bootloader, which will automatically find the PG86IMG zip file.. its gonna say something about parsing and do u want to update.. follow instructions to select yes to update.. once thats finished, it will give u the option to reboot.. go ahead and let it reboot... when ur phone is finished loading, DELETE that PG86IMG zip file.

u should now have TWRP 1.1.1

oh, as for the error 16... u will NOT have to go thru that again when flashing anything.. for some reason it just happens that one time... and that it..

hope this helps u along..

edit: if u don't want to try the method outlined above.. scrosler has created a script that will do all the work for u.. check this thread. it seems extremely simple to use..
[HTC EVO 3D] GuAcHi:
So I finally decided to root my 3D and when installing the Revolutionary part I get: your device: shooter, with HBOOT 1.50.0000 is not supported at this time.. could any1 help me with this.. im pretty much a noob and tried doing the process a few time and no luck
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
please either read a couple pages back or use the search function.. this has been addressed in details many times throughout ths thread. no revolutionary.. use htc method.
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
As said above me, revolutionary at this time doesn't support your hboot. You need to use the HTC method. There is another thread they walks you through that process as well.

[HTC EVO 3D] MJMcMahon:
Hi all -

new to the Evo coming from a VZW Fascinate...anyway, tried the temp root to get a backup before proceeding and, unfortunately, TiBu is reporting that it doesn't have root, even though I have a SuperUser app and can grant root to a Terminal Emulator. Suggestions on how to proceed?

Thx!

[HTC EVO 3D] mikedavis120:
It might help to install busy box.
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
or just reboot your phone to get rid of the temp root.. and go straight to full root.. (assuming you have hboot 1.30 or 1.40, so u could use this method)...i've done this for many people to root their phone, and have NEVER temp rooted.. i don't wipe at all... i just make sure htc sync is not installed at all on whoevers computer i would be using atm.. and then go from there with letting revolutionary do its thing.. after im done, applying s-off, parsing a recovery, flashing su, and reboot -- EVERYTHING is still there.. apps, data.. everything..
[HTC EVO 3D] Sashin:
Anyone know if there will be a 1.5 full root coming in the near future? Might just have to go with the HTC Unlock.

If my Htc Evo 3d came without the update out of the box and I updated it. Can I do I reset and will it undo the update so I can root?

Nope, once you update you're hosed. Soon as I activated my phone, I canceled the update. Gotta use HTC unlock now if you got the 1.50 hboot.

[HTC EVO 3D] XpAcErX:
Is this still the current way to root the evo 3d? Also the HTC Driver Pack links are broken. is there another place to dl them? or and updated pack perhaps?
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
Yes.. only if ur Hboot is 1.30 or 1.40...

and i just check HTC Driver Pack.. link works just fine.. its a direct download.. when u click on it, it should automatically pop up for u to save, not take u to a download page...
[HTC EVO 3D] XpAcErX:
yes I have Hboot 1.40, just been lazy about rooting.

as for the link it gives me a 404

Do you have to have some sort of registration on unrevoked site to dl this?

UPDATE: nm it just started working.
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
temp root problem

Everytime I run the temp root batch file, it progresses to the point where it says "locating access point", then it simply says exploit has failed and everything is an error or fail after that. Any ideas what Im screwing up?

Im assuming nthat when I connect the phone to my pc, it should be connected as a disk drive? Im going to try it connected as usb charging and see if that helps

nope, it all appears to be the same. hmmm.
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
if you haven't figured it out by now.. my suggestion would be to skip the temp root process... and when you actually begin to perm root your phone, don't wipe.. you apps will be there after you root anyway..

[Desire General] xziaz:
Hey!

I have problems downgrading to 2.2, since I dont like the new update at all. Alot of bugs and etc.

So I've tried installing the RUU from the computer, also renaming the file to PB99IMG.zip and putting it into the memory card.

Ive done this a thousand times when unrooting but now I get the error that my bootloader is up to date or something like that, I don't really remember.

Anyone who can help me ?

Thanks

EDIT: I get the error 140 bootloader error
[Desire General] elliottg61:
Edit: It appears you can now unlock the bootloader and gain root access
[Desire General] xziaz:
Is it possibly to root my phone and flash in a rom, and then unroot the phone to 2.2 froyo like I've always used to?
[Desire General] Meemo23:
Understand that the hboot is locked with it locked you cannot do anything untill someone or team alpha and unrevoked come up with something that can..
[Desire General] xziaz:
Damnit, the damn 2.3 update sucks. Well then I have to wait then, I regret updating. I should have stayed on the 2.2.
[Desire General] elliottg61:
2.3 update has just been unlocked using revolutionary!
[Desire General] xziaz:
yeah but i dont know the meaning of that.. im not used to s-off and i dont wanna brick my phone..
[Desire General] xziaz:
But if someone could do a quick guide for me for this s-off thing, and how to go back to the standard 2.2 froyo without s-off and root. By that I mean, that the phone is back to it's standard after doing this revolutionary.

Thanks

These radios are for the GSM HTC Evo 3D (e.g. Vodaphone).

Do NOT flash these radios on a CDMA HTC EVO 3D!​

/* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or the end of the world. Please do some research
* if you have any concerns about flashing a radio before flashing it!
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the
* finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. */

How to Flash:

In order for this to work, the HTC Evo 3D needs to be S-OFF. Flashing the radio with a corrupt file or interrupting the flash, can brick the device, please proceed with caution.

Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Evo 3D.

Make sure the filename is PG86IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder).

Connect the HTC Evo 3D to the computer via USB.

On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:

adb push PG86IMG.zip /sdcard/PG86IMG.zip
adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG86IMG.zip

NOTE: The md5 should match up the provide the original download location. If not, redownload & try again.

adb reboot bootloader

The HTC Evo 3D will reboot & usually boot into fastboot. Pressing the Power button will put the device into the bootloader.

The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.

Allow the bootloader to finish flashing the updated radio, and reboot the HTC Evo 3D normally.

I just rooted my evo 3d and forgot to back it up and something went wrong and all i could get into was recovery mode. so i managed to install virtuous rom, then i tried high rom but i cannot get 3g or and data connection anymore.

can i use these radios to restore my data connecting.

[HTC EVO 3D] happyhallsy8:
As quoted from the HTCdev website:

Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

The result of the prior information is S-Off is required for Radio updates.

Not sure but wouldn't be surprised if it's the first one. After flashing this i get battery drain and it seems to have worse performance, very slow hsdpa/3g speeds. Speed test result was 174kbps where i used to get double. And signals weaker too...

Maybe its a RIL issue? Can anyone determine the RIL version in the ROM this was released in? From what i understand, we should use the correct RIL for the radio for best performance, this can make a difference. Anyone know how to get the RIL's?

Can this thread be made a sticky?
