Just a heads up that I updated my Honeycomb Leak Install guide to cover a new leak I have managed to get my hands on, version 3.41.405.1.
Full details can be found in this topic.
Unfortunately you will need to roll back to Gingerbread in order to install it.

The hboot changed, the radio changed, the kernel changed and appears to be incompatible, all the methods I tried this morning to 'get it on' failed.

So if we have a bestbuy flyer that can't rollback to gingerbread, then we won't be able to upgrade correct?

Awesome! Notice any big differences yet? Does your source have any idea how close this beta is to final? I was too chicken to install the previous leak, but I might man up for this one...

Ok, I may be barking at the wind here but, is there a way to flash the required components thru fast boot commands (I am not sure if this can be done on the Flyer like it can on the Dell Streak 5) where you would use fast boot commands to flash the individual extracted components, base rom, recovery, radio, etc similar to adb. (since there is currently no proper method for US BB WiFi Flyers to revert to GB)

Agreed, people are working on this (Including Paul) I have no doubt that the issues will be figured out and we will get past the current problems. In the meantime, we discuss and help where possible. There is even talk of a possible hybrid version. Bottom line, this will get figured out.

So, I'm new to rooting, and, as such, after looking around the forums, I haven't found a similar thread (for the EVO 3D) about what ROM I should get. I've been looking through the CDMA forum at different ROMS, but I'm not sure which one to use. I won't be downgrading to 1.4 HBOOT, since I don't have a linux PC or the balls to do it, so I will be using the HTC Unlocker. All I want is to have the ability to use the Hotspot/tethering for free, because I'm not about to pay Sprint an extra 30 dollars/mo on top of my 65 dollar/mo plan right now.
So, if anyone has any help, I'd really appreciate it, because I have no idea what I'm doing.

You can download a rom whenever you want. Just make sure you are rooted and have a recovery and the Flash Image GUI app installed before flashing

My friend is saying there's more ways to root your phone other than the HTC Unlocker or the downgrade to 1.4 hboot. First off cause I don't have a linux PC, and my friend's friend said he used a program to root it on windows.
EDIT: After doing some research, I found this: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-downgrade-hboot-1-50-to-1-40-on-htc-evo-3d-new/ and this: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-3d/
I was wondering if these are reliable and they both work, mostly the Revolutionary app. Because I've heard that it's not all that amazing, but they must have updated it since I heard that.

That's how I unlocked mine on boot 1.5 there's a video so its easier for people who don't know a lot and also don't have to install sdk but just a file which has all the files needed to root.

If you are on hboot 1.5, the htc dev unlock, then hboot downgrade is the ONLY method.

Again, the HTCDev method will give you root, but not s-off. If you want s-off, you have to downgrade your hboot. And it doesn't take a while, unless you consider a few minutes to be a while.

K, well, after reading some stuff, I think it may be best to wait for ICS to come out and see what happens, because, apparently it should be coming out sometime soon, if I'm not mistaken.

And if you take the OTA ICS update, it could update the hboot and you may never be able to root it. If you are going to root, do it now.

Yeah, but the thing is, I've been comparing HTC Unlock with downgrade and root, the only difference, besides true s-off, is you aren't able to have you own splash screen with HTC Unlock (Big whoop.) So, instead of taking the time (albeit a few minutes) To downgrade my phone and to root it that way. I think I'll wait for ICS to come out, then for the HTC Unlock to update for it, since I rather like the way ICS will look, also as I've said before, all I really want is the ability to use the Sprint Hotspot without paying an extra 30 bucks. That and with the HTC unlock, I can still put on a custom ROM, if I so desire, once they've been updated for ICS.
Ohhhh... Where should I start.... Well for one s-off means a lot, not just splash screens... Which I love my custom splash screen btw.... Makes my phone extremely unique...
If I was in your shoes.. I would downgrade the hboot... Root it.. and install the tethering app... And be done with it... Regardless of when the ota comes out for ics.. that means very very little...
Once the ota does come out, ROM devs will be all over it, and custom ics roms will be popping up all over the place...
"All I really want is tether...." No its not.... Trust me once you dive into the rooted EVO 3d and you realize how the phone is suppose to run, not how it runs stock you will be glad you went through the trouble with the downgrade...
Do what you do, as long as your happy and enjoying your 3vo that's what's matters...

Well, my biggest problem with trying to downgrade is I'm having trouble finding a way to downgrade with just windows, since I don't have Linux. Unless I just didn't read it right, I think someone said that the link I posted about downgrading with windows is outdated?
EDIT: Why would I install a tethering app when, supposedly, I can use the Sprint Hotspot, which is supposed to be better than the tethering app? Also, I have quite a few apps on my phone and I'm not sure I'll be able to use them all still if I root my phone.

Well, for me, there's several issues with that. 1) I'm using a laptop that isn't mine for the time being, and i don't want to go and make a new partition. 2) If I were to wait till the parts for my new desktop to come in, I'd have to wait till the end of March anyways for a new processor to come out. 3) I've never even messed with Linux.

Well. Today I decided that rooting and flashing my flyer would be a good idea. So I decided to go to the dev site, and all I got was error 173. Which I ended up with, no matter how I many times I tried.
My flyer is currently running 3.2.1, stock hc, locked , and has s-on. I'll find the build number and the rest later. But I've spend 7 hours looking through various topics on downgrading, unlocking, and rooting, but it all stops at HTC dev, and I the only other way to unlock bootloader seems a bit too advanced for me. So, please guys, I really need a piece of advice, or help, and I shall be grateful. Contacting HTC on their Facebook, and on their Twitter, hasn't helped so far.
What is the best way to unlock the bootloader? Except htc dev ? And rooting it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I have used the forums in the past to root my old s3 and before that to root/add a custom rom to an old HTC Aria so I do have a little experience with modifying phones. I recently got the HTC m8 (att version) and was holding off on doing anything to it until the EPS got added. Since the update today, EPS is currently live on my phone. How would I go about rooting it now? I saw a post about the old root methods, but will they still work with the new update? I basically want to root my phone so that I can uninstall any bloatware. I know I can disable it but would prefer to get it off completely. On my s3 I also used an app to prevent certain apps that I periodically used from automatically starting up. Would rooting be my best option? I have read up a little on the S-off, and I don't believe I need to do this to uninstall bloatware, but please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance for any advice.
You may just wanna boot loader unlock and flash twrp first in order to keep that full stock image. So once you start uninstalling things you don't run into trouble. Also it's the easiest method to root (after fastboot flashing twrp 2.7.0.2, you can flash supersu 1.94 via recovery and your good to go. Stock backup with root

If you're already S-Off, then the update can't do anything about it.
If you're S-On, and firewater was patched in the update, then you shouldn't be able to S-Off (unless another exploit is found). Thing is, I don't think anyone who's S-On has updated yet to test firewater. I will when I get my replacement, but I won't have that for days.

Some people are having issues with the OTA update after they S-OFF. About 30-40% through the update process, their phone freezes with a red exclamation point on the screen. Then again, it works for others, so I'm not really sure what's causing the issue.
