Ok guys Ive never rooted a phone. I've never had the balls to do so but I'm tempted to do so. Ok first of all why should I root? Second how do I root? Would I be voiding my warranty? and I need someone to guide me I'm not the smartest nor dumbest computer user. I would I truly appreciate if someone who has time to show me how to get this done I truly don't want to screw up my phone. thanks in advance for those that take time to respond.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
First of all, you can only root HBOOT 1.300 and HBOOT 1.400 devices. If you updated to OTA 2.08, you have HBOOT 1.500 and will need to wait for a root for that.

As to your first question, there are MANY MANY reasons to root. One thing you can do is use applications that require root access, such as free tethering or freezing applications. The major thing with rooting, however, is being able to change ROMs. Changing a ROM is basically like customizing the whole OS. You can do so many things! Rooting your phone and unlocking your NAND (Part of revolutionary process) is something that will make your life better.

Now, your section question asks how you root. As I said, if you are on HBOOT 1.500, you can't root your phone. To check your HBOOT version, you can power down and then hold volume down while booting back up. It will take you to the bootloader menu and at the top it should tell you which HBOOT version you have. If you are on HBOOT 1.300 or 1.4000, you can use the video walkthrough here: Video Walkthrough

I used the video walkthrough to root my own phone. Revolutionary root is in it's beta which means it's not perfect and its not like nothing can wrong.

Rooting will void your software warranty, but I heard sprint is changing that.
[HTC EVO 3D] frankrmz:
voiding the software? can you explain. Also i did receive the latest update so meaning i have to wait.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Well, the warranty on the phone is only for the software. This means if the phone one day decides to stop turning on, get a black screen, etc. you can still get it replaced for free. After you root it, they won't replace the phone for free the stuff above happens. They probably won't know that you're rooted if the phone completely stops turning on, though.
[HTC EVO 3D] frankrmz:
Got I guess I have to wait. Hopefully once the root for the update comes you can help if I were to have questions.. Thanks for taking time and answering must of my questions
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Shoot me a PM if you need any more help!
[HTC EVO 3D] frankrmz:
Do you know if this new root came out
[HTC EVO 3D] affliction:
yes like he said you will have to wait but it shouldn't be long.the reason for rooting are freeing up space on the phone,wifi tether for free,lots of great apps u cant get without root and of course the ability to customize as much as you like.now if u dont really want to do any of those things then i wouldnt root also rooting does void your warranty but u can always sbf back to stock and like it was said if u mess up to the point your phone wont turn on they will never know anyway.

edit: when or if you are ready to root and want help through the process let me know u can pm me its basically what i do these days lol i have helped about 10 people this week with rooting and roms
[HTC EVO 3D] frankrmz:
Thanks man. Both you guys have been very helpfull thanks I will for sure need

Help. Where can I find out once the new root is available?
[HTC EVO 3D] affliction:
It will be in the dev thread also check revolutionary website which is in that thread as well under guide on root roms ect

I shot the maid! What can I say? 3vo shooter
[HTC EVO 3D] jlear3:
There are definitely ways to root via Hboot 1.500.000 IDK what these people are talking about....

You cannot get s-off if you didn't have it prior to the 1.5hboot but you can still flash kernels, roms, and radios...

If you'd still like to know how or need any help with the process let me know. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Hover-Shuttle:
I did the over the air 2.08 update, what do I need to do to root me phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] Shantox73:
I was able to get my 3d rooted before the update and i have to say that i am so glad that i did. There are so many more options available to you after doing so as mentioned by previous posters. The abundance of ROMS is sweet! I like Viper the best for the moment but looking forward to a full AOSP.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlear3:
Follow this tutorial

http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-root-evo-3d-2-08-651-2-and-later-htc-unlock-method/

Follow it to a t... do everything he says, afterwards you will be rooted, if you need any help flashing roms or ANYTHING let me know :D

EDIT: The website says you cannot flash kernels, which is false, it just cannot be done via recovery, and needs to be done via fasboot/abd. again if you need any help just let me know :D

Att flashed kz with lg update

I am having the same issues as you guys.. I flashed the KZ file with lg update software as explained in the XDA thread but I could not get the process to work right. My phone kept disconnecting at 28% and it would not turn on no matter what I did. It would only make a short vibrate as if it was turning on, and the computer would notice it but only for a short time. And never once did a light on the screen, or LG logo, or anything at all ever appear.

I figured I had really screwed it up, but when I plugged it into the wall it booted up perfectly. All my data was in tact and the rom i had flashed through cwm was still there, not the kdz file that I flashed with the lg software.. I noticed that my sim card did not come up as being in the phone at all. I looked in system setting status and noticed that all info related to my imei said unknown. I opened up the mfg app (277634#*# from the phone app).. Under "version info" then "factory version" my phone now says xmm6260.. It always used to say p925..etc... Even after flashing the zip to debrand from at&t this never changed from p925 even when every other aspect of my phone has.. I was hoping maybe once I put in an activated sim card everything would be fine and my phone would be unlocked which is why i flashed through lg software.. But seeing as how other people are having this similar issue and their phones not seeing the sim card, well im looking for some advice.. Should I try and re flash kdz file through lg software again? if i do, im going to do it on my XP computer this time, not Windows 7..

Just wanted to add that I did try wiping data and cache from cm and no dice.. Root and CMW work fine but no matter what I do, if my phone is turned off, i cannot boot up or boot to cwm or boot at all unless i plug the phone into a wall carger and then once its on it stays on and i can unlug.. SORRY ABOUT THE LONG POST, THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP..

Is there any soltion? Please.
[LG Optimus 3D] thealgorithm:
Reflash the phone.

Take out battery. hold down the up key, plug in cable to computer.

Wait till it installs or activates the necessary drivers. eg usb protocol etc.

Then run the recovery via lg tool by entering your imei number in the application.

This will install the latest stock version based on your imei (including baseband)
[LG Optimus 3D] iodak:
Thanks, I tried but it did not work.

I tried everything possible. KDZ flashed about 20 times. Flashed bin and fls files many times. I do not know what more to try. When I put androuid 2.2 After a while the cell phone turned on appears IMEI and IMESV, but disappeared again after reboot.

I put the phone in the CP - USB (3845#*920# port settings cp-usb) mode and I connect with hyper terminal when I type AT%IMEI my modem gives me IMEI. When I type AT%IMEI=? back to me is: [IMEI part1 [7] + IMEI part2 [8]] but I do not know how to write it. I tried all possible combinations and I still write IMEI write error. (AT%IMEI=xxxxxxxx + xxxxxxx AT%IMEI= x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, ......) I found [LGFlash Tool 1.0]LGP920_20120213_Download_WriteIMEI.dll at the CSMG server and I tried with LG flash tool so that instead of stock dll I put this dll but it failed. It gives me an error not read IMEI. There may be a BIN file that is used whit it??? Here's the dll if anyone wants to try.

All this hapend after simple reboot. I found service manual for LG internal use it says that this could happen becouse of fault in firmware, and that after write IMEI firmware should be updated to V21A to prevent this to happen. So some early firmware cause it.

I dont have warranty.

sorry for bad english.
[LG Optimus 3D] thealgorithm:
Interesting.

When you run the official recovery tool and it asks you to enter your Imei, does it go ahead with the process and fully complete 100% with the flashing?

Do the problems then still occur? If you can get your phone to turn on at anytime, have you tried a full factory reset after that?
[LG Optimus 3D] iodak:
Yes it completes at 100% everything is ok I can turn it on, off, go into recovery and everything. Device is working perfect but android cant see IMEI, that is writen in eeprom. I tried factory reset numeros times, no help. When i start lgupdate official tool, tool also reads correct IMEI from device.
[LG Optimus 3D] thealgorithm:
Seems an issue with the baseband updating/corrupted, although the lg tool flash recovery should have updated this as well. Have you tried the other flash methods (try one of the kdz roms in this forum. eg v21a for europe gingerbread) and use this flashing method (you would need to block the lg updater from accessing the net) There is a tutorial on this in this forum. it works via forcing a rom update and redirecting it into the lg flash program
[LG Optimus 3D] iodak:
I did that metod too. There is any metod here on this forum that I didnt try. Thanks for help. I dont know is it baseband or CP chip problem.
[LG Optimus 3D] thealgorithm:
This may be guesswork, but if the baseband is flashed in a specific area of the phones nand space, perhaps the nand blocks there are corrupt which causes it to fail. Perhaps with some additional tools, it may be possible to format this area, marking the bad blocks as bad preventing the baseband data from writing to these area's. Just guesswork here.

Have you tried flashing other baseband versions seperately
[LG Optimus 3D] iodak:
Yes i did! No help!
[LG Optimus 3D] karinca:
Hi,

I have the same problem and tried almost everything written in this topic but didn't worked.

hyperterminal seems to be working for most of the optimus models but doesn't work with p920. I tried all the port settings and everytime got "IMEI WRITE ERROR" message.

any new suggestion?
[LG Optimus 3D] iodak:
How did this happen tou you? There is Optimus box software that can fix this thing (repair CP). No one have it where I live.
[LG Optimus 3D] karinca:
I tried to install CWM from rom manager but accidentally chose wrong model and my phone got bricked. After that I tried to unbrick with LGFlashTool described in this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1244490.

This process gave error at the end (AT command error) but my phone was booted. everything but phone was working (WiFi, BT, GPS etc.) Phone couldn't register with carrier and I started searching the reason and finally I saw that my IMEI is 0.

If Optimus Box is capable of changing the IMEI, there should be another way to do it manually.
[LG Optimus 3D] Kaleptik:
Do not, under any circumstance, change the IMEI. It's illegal.

[LG Optimus 3D] karinca:
Again and again: I'm not trying to change the IMEI, just trying to recover the original IMEI. So I don't think this is illegal anywhere in the universe
[LG Optimus 3D] Kaleptik:
This sounds like you want to change the IMEI manually.

Without an "Optimus Box"
[LG Optimus 3D] thealgorithm:
Try opening the lg recovery tool and enter your actual imei number. If it verifies this as correct, then the internal imei has not changed (even though android may report it as having imei of 0. Probably an issue with the baseband
[LG Optimus 3D] karinca:
I want to change the IMEI from 0 to original one. If I should correct my sentence: If Optimus Box is capable of recovering the IMEI, there should be another way to recover the IMEI manually. I don't want to pay for Octopus Box or any other Box software.

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding, English is not my native language.
