Not a very good idea to use the tool for the Sensation on the Evo 3d. The hboots are not in the same spot, so if somehow you do get it working it'll probably install the hboot somewhere you're not going to want it to.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scougar:
One thing to consider about this guys, is that HTC 'might' update the hboot yet further with the OTA release of ICS.

If the root will work for GSM as well I'll put in $10. (Even though I have a 1.49.00018)
[HTC EVO 3D] EGOvoruhk:
It's not a Sensation tool, it's a Sensation guide. As I wrote earlier in that thread, and as the guide says in the 2nd step, you'll want to check the IMG file you backup with a HEX editor to make sure you have the right partition. You should be doing the same even when you know the right Evo 3D partition
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
I will be posting a guide to downgrade from 1.50 to 1.40 (or even 1.30) very shortly.

I have not had the EVO 3D long enough to really know about the bounty, (only had the device maybe 3 weeks so far) but their is no way I am skimping out on donating to these guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] EGOvoruhk:
Make sure you guys donating are throwing them this way: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522351

That's where the bulk of the work came from. Fuses wrote the tool that we're using to flash the HBOOT. Without that, we wouldn't be able to do it
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
To be honest I have some reserves about releasing this right now. 3mo time is long enough for HTC to update and change whatever bootloader that HAD planned to use on their next Sprint device...for all we know they could of been planning on using a kind of hboot with the same flaw as now, but after they see this, that's gonna be highly unlikely...imho...

Haven't read the thread yet over there but congrats to those that got it done...
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
what site is it your all talking about ? can you mention it on this site ?
[HTC EVO 3D] focbuster78:
Hey guys PLEASE don't donate just yet. I have tried this method over the past 3h and it does NOT WORK YET. If you have already donated please post the paypal transaction ID so I can cross you off the list
[HTC EVO 3D] Evo-3D:
Did I miss something? Can someone please point me to the thread or statement that I missed. It seems that one came in here stating that they will post an HOOBT rollback thread, then the entire thread went nuts. Although I've heard others state the same, an HBOOT rollback, and all of them were unsuccessful. So why now, why is everyone ready to pay up bounty?
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:

Thank you guys for pointing it out to me. I'm really green when it comes to rooting. I would just like to ask, so do we have a solution for the 3D? Is the 3D now in the same party with the rest of the rooted androids?

[HTC EVO 3D] MOVZX:
Bounty is a bad idea.
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
OK, so the whole "bounty" thing needs to be addressed, cause there's still some controversy here. (I will be posting this in both the downgrade thread and the bounty thread)

First thing... I started this whole shebang simply self motivated, I refused to use HTC Unlock and I wanted root... so I manned up, focused on the light at the end of the tunnel and we're here now.

With that said... I'm not going to "demand" a collection on this "bounty"... you guys chose to sign up for it of your own free will, you have the choice to do what you want whether you choose to honor that agreement or not, I don't really care as I have a far greater prize in my hands that says 1.40.1100 S-OFF.

Secondly, there have been comments made that it should go to other individuals as well, I have spoke with these people directly, via PM's. And they have all came back with the same thing, in basic terms... it was I that found the method for OUR device. They are not looking to collect on this, but obviously if you feel like donating to them anyways, more power to you. I PERSONALLY will be sending THEM donations for giving me the tools that I needed to accomplish this task.

So I say again, I am NOT going to hound people for this bounty that was created, nor am I going to list out those that have and haven't donated, I feel that's tasteless, and accomplishes nothing.

I will, though, take this time to thank each and every person who HAS donated and/or will be donating, as this was a painfully long process to get accomplished, and these beers are gonna be great :)
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
here's my take:

if you promised a donation and don't you're an ass. donate to somebody in that thread by unknownforce listed in his credits, or charity, or xda as a whole, and put up your receipt/confirmation number, otherwise you're a liar and should go away forever.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Adding on to what unknown and duce said...

On the internet, the only thing we have is or word. Unknown says he didn't do the work he has done for the bounty, but im sure he was aware of the pledge promises. His successes not only made your phone more valuable to you, but if you had intentions of selling your phone, it also made it more valuable in a resale market.

If you need rationalization for donating what you promised: his work increased the value of your phone by at least $50 in resale aspects, by allowing it to be fully unlocked
[HTC EVO 3D] jAm-0:
Thanks for the lul.

The people that respect our devs (and honestly the only ppl that should be here) wont bail on them. The childish members who feel entitled to S-Off (for some reason or another) will whine and ***** until they get what they want, then they bail.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
I don't get why you got an "lul" out of that? I am one of the developers around here....confused
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
Unknownforce did amazing work, no doubt. And I believe the fact that he did this because he wanted a way around the unlock tool and NOT for the bounty is part if what made him successful. There were other devs who just chased the reward and couldn't figure out how to get it, because they had no inspiration. Unknownforce definitely deserves the bounty, but as they said above its on your guys honor and unknownforce isn't going to force it down your throat because he got what he wanted, but even after he got his device downgraded he, re locked, and re bricked just so he could help us out... Buy the guy a damn beer :)

Thanks unknownforce. :beer:
[HTC EVO 3D] :
SO EXCITED FOR THIS!

Who should I donate to, though. It looks like a full team effort.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
From what unknown said on the previous page, the other people involved feel that because he got it to work for the evo 3d, though be it, using tools they made, the other people felt that unknown deserved the bounty.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Hello Matthew,

[HTC EVO 3D] jfin79:
Guys I left the evo 3d because I had hboot 1.5 and went to the epic touch 4g I don't think some of you understand the time and coding skills it took to achieve the ones that do im sure already have donated or are going to donate even if you didn't pledge a donation everybody should still chip in anybody new or noobs the dev worked hard on this if you want new roms and automated rooting tools donate I am donating I don't even own a evo 3d anymore but the devs deserve it
[HTC EVO 3D] jdsinglebarrel:
Sounds like a **** move on my part, but I'll donate once I can get out of HBOOT 1.50 on a Mac. I don't flash ROMs except to just check them out. I always revert back to stock with root as I'm perfectly happy with the 3V0 the way it is...with root. From what I can see so far there is no doing it on this damn computer. Especially since I'm new to Mac OS X and don't have a Windows machine in sight. FML

If you promised to donate you should donate though. Be ethical and have some integrity.
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
pm or email me i can help. not as hard as you'd think. the last command (emmc_recover) can't be done on mac or windows though. you'll need to boot a vm for that
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
So you got it?
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Well, that, and I'm personally donating to them for the use of their tools and help. So don't think I'm taking all the cake here, some of the donations I get are going to them anyways. I believe in the open community, everyone shares with everyone. The "Classic" XDA.

But again, I don't want people to feel obligated at all. While I feel people should honor and stand by their word, that's up to them, I'm not judging anyone at all. A donation should be a donation, not something expected in return for something in an open community. I don't like the idea of bounty's. I didn't do this for money, I did it for my 1.40.1100 S-OFF device, and then since I was able to accomplish it, why not share it for the community.

If I was in it for money, I would have just opened up an online shop and started charging people to send me their device and do it all myself. But that's silly, Classic XDA wins, always.
[HTC EVO 3D] shizkoff777:
Right on brother as soon as I get paid ill send you a donation .I'm trying to get the balls to do it

[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Dude, all I got is a windows computer, and I was able to pull it off! Hboot 1.40 S-off. Just download Ubuntu and install it as a vm, then when your done, you go into control panel and uninstall it.. Also, the first time I EVER ran Linux was to do this method. All i did was installed Ubuntu, played around with it few minutes to get a feel for it. If there was something I couldn't figure out, I Google'd it and found the answer.

In addition, I've already donated $20.00 the other day, even before I tried this method, actually right when I found out Unknown did it, LOL...
[HTC EVO 3D] Evo-3D:

One more thing. When someone roots their phone, is it expected to get the error when calling out? The error you get that requires you to call your provider to reset you? I had this happen on a buddy's 1.4x when I rooted it.
[HTC EVO 3D] dgomez720:
Just go have your MSL handy and dial ##72786# then your MSL, hit the menu button and select reset (restore) and hit yes and taadaaa! Should reset your radio without actually resettin your device. Let me know if this helps
[HTC EVO 3D] Evo-3D:

[HTC EVO 3D] cash525:

[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Lol... Donations are given, not demanded. Thanks again to those that did donate.

Just an update, I am going to be re-writing things (already re-did step three tool to make it much easier to use) to make things easier for those that want the whole "one-click" method... while a one click method simply isn't possible with the current method, I can get much of the current steps reduced to easy to run single applications, that ways instead of steps of painful commands to type/run, it's just an app that will tell you what to do, and when to do it, and handle much of the other processes manually.

I'm also working on eliminating the need for running the 1.13 RUU and revolutionary all together, which will eliminate the need for root/step one all together, so the only thing you'll need to do is to brick the device, then run the linux tool, and boom, S-OFF, recovery already loaded, and ready to flash a rom.

It won't take me long to write a tool for this, I'm just worried about it not being enough time to write the correct information while being limited to 5 seconds of emmc mode.
[HTC EVO 3D] Evo-3D:
Many thanks for the update. To add, please proceed with this as if you are doing it for a complete noob (present company included). Those of us who know what do to can simply bypass the explanations or steps, but for those of us who know nothing or this is their first smart phone, we could use all the explanation we can get; ie what tools to get, install, use, and where to find them (links).

Thanks again.
[HTC EVO 3D] Evo-3D:
Any update to the tool?
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Yes, it's far more easy to use now, plus you don't even need to temp root to start. You brick, then downgrade, and it's only a few commands in linux now, very very simple, laid it all out in the guide, see the link in my sig.

However, I have not found the correct S-OFF partition(s) yet, so it currently still is just a downgrade tool, you still have to RUU to 1.13 after and run revolutionary still.

I'm still working on that part.
[HTC EVO 3D] cjackxiii:
Put me down for 25 dollars
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I'd donate $20 if they made an S-Off for HBOOT 1.50 possible. I never know when I will need a replacement and if there is no S-Off months down the road, there probably won't be an S-Off.

All I care is that there is an S-Off. I don't care about when it will be released.

[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Most phones get Root on the original software that came with the phone with release which the EVO3D did as with the Original EVO. When these holes/exploits are patched, and new software ius released, it takes time for the devs to find another exploit. The longer a platform is on the market such as the EVO with Android, the harder it is for devs to find an exploit to gain root access as the manufacturers plug up the holes.

Also, coming on the forums telling people that you are frustrated that the devs are not finding an exploit and "for the love cannot figure out why?" is extremely ignorant and does nothing to help the cause.
[HTC EVO 3D] focbuster78:
Thank you for explaining that for me. I honestly did not realize how difficult it is. Although to be clear I am frustrated because it seems as if the devs don't care about the bounty, not how they haven't found an exploit yet. Now that you have informed me I apologize for comment being unclear and coming off as "ignorant" and how it did nothing to help the cause. I will not let it happen again. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Thank you both for your civility, this is how XDA should always be.

I tweeted this forum to alph arev and unrevoked. Hopefully it piques their interest. Revolutionary still hasn't be released except as a "developer preview" here's to hoping they still have plans to update it.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
so there's a thread in GSM dev, where a guy dowgraded his CID via fastboot, flashed an RUU containing an older hboot, and was able to s-off it... I read thru the thread a couple times, looks legit. I linked it in the revolutionary IRC a couple times, no reponse but hope they got it and maybe can find a way? A friend of mine tried it but was unsuccessful. I think there might be a way to achieve this for CDMA but would require more hacking. My friend tried only to change CID to SPCS_001, which I belive is stock, and would fail. He did successfully flash the original RUU (with hboot 1.3) without errors but it didn't apply the hboot :( I think maybe if someone used "fastboot writecid HTC_001" and then tried the RUU (with a modded mainver and CID inside the android-info.txt) it might just work? Hope some of you 1.5 folks might be felling frisky, and willing to brick (although I doubt that would happen) - and maybe want to try some of this stuff?

Here's the thread. I put up a link in their later about hacking the regionver (an old issue where you needed to mod it to flash an older RUU that worked).

Also wondered going to be awhile before ics works on 3d and before the 3d sees official updates. Also only reason I could figure is they are jumping ship.
[HTC EVO 3D] mildlydisturbed:
ICS is the next version of the Android OS. When it ships via OTA on Sprint, chances are there will be another HBOOT - something like 1.51. If you can get S-OFF now the new HBOOT will generally still accept that it's S-OFF and we won't have a situation of waiting for another exploit which may never happen as, well, Sprint's been plugging up holes left and right.

The reason you think ICS is all about skins is because right now since it's not out, you can only make your phone look like ICS by skinning it.
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Unfortunately

fastboot getvar cid

yields SPCS_001 with HBOOT 1.50 even before running

[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
I knew that much. I had my friend try that ^^. What I was saying was attempting to writecid HTC_001, and then use modded android-info.txt with older mainver, or the regionver fix thing I linked for hboot error 140.
[HTC EVO 3D] focbuster78:
That would be unbelievably awesome if we could get a downgrade to Hboot 1.49. I have a question, would this be easier for the dev team to do then a full root? I am wondering because it seems more like one specific issue rather then something broad as to figure out a patch.
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Ah, misunderstood, my apologies.

Whoa, we most definitely DO NOT want to download to 1.49. We want 1.40 or 1.30. HBOOT 1.49 is for the GSM 3VO.

I just went to Sprint Store to get a replacement for my evo 3d since I have been experiencing random reboots and couldn't figure out the source of the problem. I've read on multi forums that the only way is to have my device replaced. Little did I know, before doing some research, that currently there is no way of obtaining S-OFF on HBOOT 1.5. My old device had 1.4 and I was loving it b/c I am a flashing machine. Now, since the replacement has 1.5 i'm bummed since for 1 I am unable to restore my NAND backup to this new device. So, heck yea i'm willing to throw in $20 into the pool for the Revolutionary team.
