[HTC EVO 3D] cybergurken:
[Q] Evo 3D that hates me!!! ROOT s-OFF and unlock bootloader cant select yes

Hi all, im a newbie to android rooting etc, so please be patient if I dont understand... XD

I will try to give a backround with a very detailed discription for those who might have the same problem, a similar problem or for those trying to help...

so I bought this beast in Feb with stock software on: this was my 1st root, s-off attempt :

1st attempt quote from post

Hi there,

Developers, gonna be developers and android noobs

I got a small issue with mu EVO 3d GSM...

Firstly Id like to apologize if this has been asked...

Problem: I need to get past BOOTLOADER BLOCK !!!

Before you carry on reading -

Bought this phone online, from China, Original HTC!!! but with 1 or 2 chinese apps installed, Android 2.3.4...

This was standard when I first entered bootloader (out of the box)

***LOCKED***

SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RH

HBOOT-1.49.0012

RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M

eMMC-boot

What is suprising is it needed to say Locked and s-on...

So I wanted to root and s-off...

Tried Revolutionary... Everything ran well, after 2nd reboot into bootloader, error - Communications between phone and PC has been interrupted

After that I retried and it said - 'Your device is already s-off' then it wanted to download and install CWM Recovery 4.0.142 Revolutionary...

HTCDEV - Step 13 didnt happen, it just stayed on the normal bootloader screen (in Fastboot USB)

Flashed a earlier version of HBOOT (1.49.007) before Revolutionary ROOT method(revolutionary didnt support HBOOT 1.49.0012), i noticed everytime i 'completed' revolutionary method with error, my HBOOT changed to 1.49.1107 for some reason, IDK

Now my bootloader setup is:

***Revolutionary***

SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RH

HBOOT-1.49.1107

RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M

eMMC-boot

In CWM Recovery - I flashed SU.zip, it removed /bin and /xbin, and wanted to start copying or rooting file and then showed an error msg 'installation aborted', booted into ROM and SU app requested SU access???

BTW... downloaded and tried 3 RUU's all 3 for 3d of course and all 3 gave the same error - MODEL ID ERROR (i need the correct model) and in fastboot...

Use same Rev code : fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlcok_code.bin

Half the time it is done successfully but with no disclaimer screen (stays on fastboot) and changes hboot to 1107

OR

Gives error (Remote : Partition no avaiblable) or (Remote : not allowed)

Try fastboot oem lock, Doesnt lock and same result as mentioned above and every now and then it says loading custom splash sceen failed, htc disclaimer screen???

If anyone has had this problem or similar, please help, I would really appreciate it

Thnks in advance!!!

Now, Ive got a similar problem,

HBoot

1.58.5858 Jpbear

Unlocked

So I flashed the RUU_Shooter_U_TWM_TW_1.23.921.5_Radio_10.55.9020.00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_207920_signed.exe, it was the closest I could find with HBoot 1.49.0012 and gb 2.3.4...

Okay, np it flashed it with no problems... but little did I know, I lost root, bootloader relocked with disclaimer screen and lost s-off... Im buggered

So after messing around including almost bricking my phone, flashing new hboots, trying htcdev unlock with rogers, EMEA and sprint, no luck...

The only result is it showing the disclaimer screen (as mentioned in 1st boot attempt) that i cant select yes...

I tried flashing recovery, however when I flash recovery, it either hangs with HTC screen for a min or two then reboots or just hangs there forever...

Somewhere along the line I tried booting into Android and it jut boot in fastboot, for some unknown reason it also didnt pickup the PG86IMG.zip file I had on, it actually didnt pickup and PG86IMG files???

I also came across writesecureflag 3 in fastboot, gave it a try and it gave me a ***security warning***...

After that, I coud flash a PG86IMG but when I tried the htcdev unlock, I select ye, no response, removed battery and it said ***unlocked***, but when I flash a recovery, it flashes recovery in cmd but cant boot into it or it just doesnt flash onto the phone???

Somehow in between all of this I could get past the "yes" in unlock bootloader which was pure luck of the joy of the moment made me forget what I did before, I also tried flashing these RUU's

RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed

RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_Rogers_WWE_3.28.631.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262715_signed(1)

RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.28.707.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_264110_signed

When booted in TWN-TW RUU, I could install Rom manager and flash CWM through that but through fastboot, it didnt boot through it

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot boot recovery.img

RESULT: hangs on htc screen for a min or 2 then reboot into OS

Now im currrently on Asia ICS, hboot jbear 1.58.5858, htc recovery...

And in want of root, s-off, and most important able to Unlock Bootloader by selecting yes with a response,

please ANY help would be of use

thnx in advance

Its not much but will have a small paypal reward for those who helped (btw it will prob help others aswel)
