UPDATE 08-20-11.Ok Guys, I have been getting quite a few PMs and replies to the post regarding the New (OTA) software update. Rather than replying to every post or PM Here is the Answer...
If you have updated your phone using the Offical OTA with the latest Hboot 1.50 Then you CANNOT Root your phone using the Revolutionary method. The Revolutionary Tool only supports 1.30 and 1.40 Hboot for NOW.
In short if you Update your phone in Excitment or without thinking you are SOL for NOW...
Update 08-17-11 As Pointed out by a few users there is an update to the revolutionary Tool it's now 0.4Pre4, I have updated the revolutionary Zip found in the link provided to include this new update...
First and foremost many thanks to Unrevoked,AlphaRev,TeamWin and all the other devs that have made this possible. Endless RESPECT & LOVE to the Devs...
Now on to the fun and EASY stuff. There are a lot of guide on how to final permanently root your Evo 3D. This to me is just another method and hopefully others who are having issues with doing the process will find this easy as 123... It may look like a lot of reading but it's very simple and detailed.
Hope This will help those who have been frustrated with other methods/guide
I have tired both ADB and this method to obtain S-Off and then custom recovery... I have also included all the files needed in 1 link to complete this steps.
***Link***http://www.mediafire.com/file/5w6hovty8y79wey/EVO 3D All Files Update 08-17-11.zip
AFTER DOWNLOADING ALL FILES PLEASE EXTRACT JUST THE REVOLUTIONARY FOLDER. PLACE THE OTHER THREE ZIP FILES AS IS ON THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD (PG86IMG_eng-hboot, su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned AND TWR). tHE htc DRIVERS IS OPTONAL, IF YOU HAVE THE DRIVERS INSTALL THEN YOU CAN DELETE IT.
Prerequisite
STEP 1: S-Off & ClockWork Mod Recovery (CMR)
1. There are 4 zip files in the folder from the link provided, the ONLY 1 you should extract is the revolutionary folder. The other three files should remain as zip files and should be on the root of your SD card...
2. Make sure you have ADB enable on your device (Menu--Settings--Applications--Development-- USB Debugging).
3. Connect your phone to your PC, select charge only. If you do not have the HTC drivers installed then you show find the exe in the revolutionary folder. Run the .exe to install the HTC android phone usb device. To verify if the device has been install right click (My computer) or (computer) ---Manage-- Device Manager--Double click Disk drives. Your phone should be listed a usb device.
Once this is done4. Open up the revolutionary folder, you should copy/extract all the files by now. Run revolutionary.exe. You will now need to go to http://revolutionary.io/ to get your Beta key. Just click on download (u already have the file) so you don't have to save it. Enter your Hboot version and serial number, generate your key. Enter your key exactly as shown...
5.If you have successfully enter your key the S-off Process will begin. You will be prompted to download Clockwork Mod Recovery (CMR). hit Y and enter to install CMR... Your Phone should reboot and once you are on your home screen you should have S-Off... End of Step 1...
Ok now that you have obtain S-off it's Time for Team Win custom recovery Project (TWRP) + Eng H-boot. I would recommend you check to see if you have clockwork mod recovery before you continue. Power down your phone. REMOVE the battery, put it back in. Hold your hand on the volume down button while pressing the power button. release the power button after a few secs while still holding the volume down button. Your phone should boot to Hboot/bootloader menu. You should see S-off on the top. Now press volume down to select recovery and press the power button to boot into recovery. Your phone should boot into clockwork mod recovery. Make a nandroid backup of your system if you like. Now install "Super user fixed" seeing that you are already in recovery.
Go back to the clockwork mod recovery main menu if you did a back up, if not select install zip... look for su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned and install/flash. reboot your phone. You can open your App draw to see if you have super user install Just for fun...
You are almost home...
STEP 2. Flash Eng Hboot, Team WIN recovery
1. Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and look for PG86IMG_eng-hboot RENAME it to PG86IMG. If you do not have it on your SD card then copy/move it to the root of your SD card.
2. Remove your phone from the computer and power of your phone. Remove the battery and put it back in. Reboot into recovery (hold vol down + power button for a few secs). Your phone should boot to the bootloader and it should pick up the PG86IMG which is your eng-hboot.
3. Press the Vol up button for yes to flash the PG86IMG. Reboot your phone when done. You have now install your eng-hboot without ADB...
4. Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and REMOVE or REMAIN the PG86IMG. I would recommend you just remove it. Make sure you have the zip folder TWR on your SD card. If not now is a good time to do so. Once this is done remove the phone from the computer and power down your phone. Remove the battery and then back in.
5. Boot into recovery once more (should be a semi pro by now ) Remember vol down and power for a few secs.
6. Go to recovery (vol down) then press power to select. Your phone should boot into clockwork mod recovery. Select install zip... look for TWR and flash/install it. Once down reboot your phone You have successfully install a custom recovery(Team WIN Recovery) AGAIN no ADB or fastboot... You can download quickboot from the market and boot into reocvery which should take u to Team WIN Recovery Project...
7. WE ARE ALL DONE, if you have follow these steps correctly....

Update 08-17-11 Alternate Method Greetings All,
Did not want to start a new Thread so am Adding an Alternate method for those of you who have been asking if you can Flash TWR and the Eng H-boot Via the Bootloader. The step above was a step by step guide for beginners. Here is the Alternate method for standard & advance users.
If you do not want to Flash the two Zips (Eng hboot, TWR) via recovery then do this:
Steps
1. Obtain S-Off via revolutionary (it is up to you if you want to flash CWR , works both ways...) Reboot... Once Done...
2. Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and look for PG86IMG_eng-hboot RENAME it to PG86IMG
3.Boot into recovery, it should automatically pick up the PG86IMG and ask if you would like to update. Select Yes and once done reboot your phone.
4.Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and REMOVE or REMAIN the PG86IMG. I would recommend you just remove it.
5. Now you will need to rename the TWR to PG86IMG, disconnect your phone from the PC once done.
6. Boot into recovery, it should automatically pick up the PG86IMG and ask if you would like to update. Select Yes and once done reboot your phone.
7. Important: You would need to go to recovery 1 final time to flash the Super User (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned).
ALL DONE ,yet another simple way to Root Your HTC EVO3D
JahNile
Evo 3D
Finally now With S-Off + Eng Hboot+ TWRP
Would it be possible to use your Eng Hboot without ClockWork Mod? I accidently hit no instead of yes, I can't figure out why ADB is not working.
You may be able to flash the eng hboot seeing that you now have S off. However you may not be able to flash superuser (SU) and TWR. This requires a custom recovery I believe. You can approach this a few ways. You can try to push the TWR via fastboot /adb then SU. You can also go back to S-On then start from the beginning again.
Both methods can be found in the forum. Good luck.

is this the same ENG Hboot version that was posted in another thread.
Yes all files are from the forum no changes. Just place them into 1 folder rather than post links to them... Try to make it as simple as possible 4 every 1.

Pretty good guide just a few comments that may prevent confusion.... A couple times you say reboot to recovery via power and volume but your are actually booting to bootloader then letting it find a .img or selecting recovery from the menu. I think that's what you were trying to say but like I said trying to prevent confusion. Also I'm almost 100% positive a back up made I'm CWM won't work with TWRP. Otherwise great job I'm sure there will be many people that will appreciate this guide and not having to use fastboot or adb.
Edit: changed a few things in my post... It's late and my brain is toast. Also you can hold off on installing CWM and just install TWRP from the bootloader after renaming it just like the hboot.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Correct you can install TWR that way as well and def.ly u can reboot to the bootloader instead. Just wanted to be a little detailed. Tx 4 the editing.
If you want to install TWR VIA the bootloader you would need to rename the TWR zip to PG86IMG...
Btw u can flash TWR via clockwork. You r only flashing a zip file so it does work.

hey guys what are the advantages of the eng hboot for are phones other than the 1.30 and the 1.40?
Do you run into the problem with the error for not being able make calls receiev texts..etc?
Yes forgot to mention this. That happen to a few users who have rooted their evo 3D. Just call sprint and they will reset your profile no questions ask. Just tell them no voice services. Its actually a 5 mins or less call. Think its their new fraud protection system kicking in.
u should be up and running in no time easy. They gonna back you remove the battery then put it back In while they update your profile. Then they will have you place a test call and then the Rep will call u to confirm you can recv calls also.

If am not mistake for the most part The ENG hboot is what unlocks NAND protection. Without the NAND unlock, we wouldn't be able to flash ROMs or have custom recovery. Hope this helps.

The ENG HBOOT gives you access to more fastboot commands. For the average user you will not notice the difference. The only time you may need it is if you soft brick your phone... the extra fastboot commands can help you recover. Bottom line is better have it to be safe cause there are no negative side effects.
thanks
Nice guide appreciate the time you took to put this together..
Will try after work..
Anyone try this and worked out?

Does the wireless tethering work?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Once your are rooted any wireless tethering app should work. The wifi tether from Google on the market works. There are also some custom stock rom that includes the wifi tether app along with a working version of the sprint hotspot app.
Great guide..just a couple updates: CWM wouldn't download - failed all 3 times. But the way around it was turning the Hboot-ENG into a PG86IMG and went through the bootloader..did the same for TWP. Once in TWP i did the zip for SU.
Other than then, worked out great.
Beta key = cut and past simplest lol.

Not sure how this is so complicated.
You download a file (recovery) and place it on the root of your external sdcard.
Boot to hboot holding volume down and pressing power.
Update the recovery.
Boot to recovery.
Install your custom rom from your custom recovery.
OK I have placed file in root of extsdcard. When I go to update recovery there is a icon with a green symbol the another icon of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation appear nothing else.
Have unlocked through Tmobile code and have S-off phone doesn't seem to respond to any of the instructions posted ?
Unlocked? Like unlocked for other carriers? Are you sure you have S-Off? Just make sure you copy over the recovery file onto Removable Disk and not HTC Storage. Once you boot into bootloader it should auto install and ask for your go.
xboarder56 said:
1. Download recovery v5.0.2.0 for the Amaze 4g Here: Download ClockworkMOD 5.0.2.0 Make sure its named PH85IMG.zip Nothing else or it wont work
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card External SDCARD)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)
6. Delete PG58IMG from your memory card and you can now root using step 3 below or install a custom ROM using CWM (Customs Roms are already rooted)

I seriously doubt that you have S-OFF because only very few of us do.
IF by chance you do then you don't need to unlock the bootloader.
And unlocking the bootloader is done through htcdev NOT T-Mobile.
This process is very simple. But since you don't even know if you have S-ON or S-OFF, hboot locked or unlocked then we need to start from the very beginning.
Download a data backup app like MyBackup from Market. This is to backup your current data. If you don't then you WILL lose it if you currently have S-ON.
Remove your battery to make sure it's completely powered off.
Place it back in.
Hold down the volume down rocker on the right side of your phone.
While holding press the power button until you see a white screen.
At the top I'm 99% sure it will say S-ON. If it does then you need to unlock the bootloader before doing anything else. Once you do you're okay to update the recovery. Once you flash the Unlock_code.bin file from htc then it will take you to a black screen. Use the volume up and volume down to chose from one of two options. Basically do nothing or unlock and void your warranty. Go ahead and unlock your device. This is required if you really want root since we don't have a way to get S-OFF.
You're phone will reboot and your data will be gone. Don't even bother restoring yet.
Download a custom rom (either one of the basic stock roms, BeastMod or QuikSense). Place the .zip file on the root of your external sdcard.
Also download the PH85IMG.zip file and place it on the root of your external sdcard as well.
Power off your phone.
Boot into bootloader again like earlier. Volume down and power.
Now it will say Unlocked at the top. If it does then your good to proceed.
It should also scan your sdcard and ask you if you want to update. Go ahead.
It will flash the new custom recovery.
Now all you need to do is flash your new custom rooted rom from recovery and your all set.
Restore your backups.
Come back here and hit the Thanks button below.
Thanks for the help guys will try again tonight.
Ok so I unlocked my bootloader using HTC method which I guess by now everyone know does not give you s-off. I am also unable to load any recovery either using fastboot or downloading right to my sd card. Teamwin is not working everytime i try to upload it fails. and clockwork will not work for me with fastboot.
[But if anyone can help me is it possible to flash roms on my phone since all I have is unlocked bootloader not being able to run a recovery is it possible to flash roms by putting them on my sd card? if so someone please help me./B]

Uh? what command prompt,tools section??????
What you did? You need to install Flash image gui app from anywhere. Its an apk app to be installed on phone
I wrote clearly again on what to do....
what i told you is this:
Be sure you are rooted with hboot 1.50
If you want to flash kernels and roms without using PC then just follow these steps:
1.Copy any ROM.zip (Zip file of a valid ROM you downloaded..... it maybe from 95mb to 410mb of size) and recovery.img (link given below) to root of SD card.
2.Download and open Flash Image GUI and select recovery image option and flash the recovery.img by using flash image button (also check wipe dalvik & wipe cache) Then it will prompt to reboot and tap no.
3.Then select kernel image in Flash Image GUI and Select the Rom.zip that you copied to SD Card in above step and flash it using flashimage button (also check wipe dalvik & wipe cache) .Then it will prompt to reboot and tap no.
4.Then switch off your 3vo manually.
5.Then boot into bootloader by pressing volume down+power button..
6.Select Recovery and press power button and recovery will boot.
7.In recovery go to wipe menu select wipe cache , wipe everything ,dalvik etc
8.Then press go back and select flash zip from sd card and select Synergy_3Dvo_Superwipe.zip
9.Then again go back and select flash zip from sd card and select Synergy_Format_Data_EXT4_Optimized.zip.
10.Then again go back and select flash zip from sd card and select the same ROM.zip.
11.Finally reboot the phone and voila!! you got it to workwithout PC.
You could flash any rom Sense/Aosp
Make sure the ROM.zip file is a valid sense/aosp rom.
Here are the files you will need:

or you can flash revolutionary's version of clock work mod and after that flash the su file which give's you root and this has to be done before you can move on to anything els
I rooted my rezound and wanted to update my rezound to ics os I followed the step exactly but when I rebooted I got stuck on the white screen. I took out the sd card and deleted the zip file and download the file again put the sd card back into the rezound but same thing. Now I can't get back to old 2.3.4 os i was using before because the post said do a wipe all data can someone help me with this to get my phone back to working order. I don't care if it is android 2.3.4 or ics 4.0 plase help.
I would first delete the PHzip file so you can start over.
Are you able to get into fastboot?
If so, check what mainver you are on with the following command:
fastboot getvar all
Also, check if you can get into recovery. Do you have Amon Ra on there? Did you make a nandroid before trying to flash ICS? If you made a nandroid and can get into recovery then restore that. If you didn't make one make a mental note to always make one before you flash ANYTHING on your phone.
If you can't restore, after you get your mainver, try to run RUU to get you back to stock. You need to relock the phone before running this.
Use the file from here that corresponds to your mainver:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/
(Link from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338916)
If your mainver is 3.xx then you are up to ICS and will need to find a thread about getting back from that mainver to stock. I know I've seen one or two.
I had that same screen after flashing my first ROM, and in my case it was that it couldn't install the lower mainver in the ROM kernel (most are 1.x) since I was already on 2.x from the OTA. You probably need a different kernel to flash that has your version. Look in Rezound Android Development for a thread titled [KERNEL] Assorted stock kernels, then get the one you need based on what you learn from the previous reply and flash in recovery.

This is the thread I believe:

If just the kernel doesn't work, another thing you can try besides RUU is flashing a Stock OTA ROM. You can use con247's Stock OTA ROM instead of running the RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21880389
Here are the steps to take to accomplish that:
1) use Amon Ra to flash con's vigorStock OTA ROM. It will do its thing then reboot to hboot. I think it then asks you if you want to update. Don't do it yet.
2) At this point you want to relock. So go into fastboot on the phone. Using adb/fastboot type the following at the cmd prompt:
fastboot oem lock
3) Reboot phone and let it flash the PHzip file. It should reboot completely when it's finished.
4) delete the PHzip file using a file explorer app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.
5) get the phone back into fastboot. Unlock again using adb/fastboot. I don't remember the exact command but you can find that in the guide for unlocking.
6) reinstall su using Amon Ra.
Now you should be stock OTA rooted with the new goodies.
i can't even get into the command promt it scolls down really fast and closes. when i went to sdk manager all the 4.0.3 boxes were checked does that mean i hane ics 4.0.3?
Sorry yes i can get into fastboot iv'e tried everything i can search for. Am gonna try getting a different kernel for the 4.0.3 ics
Well i install a custom rom and kernel but before i installed i did a wipe and restore to factory and i wiped delvek and then sared the install of new kernel and custom rom. am i missing somgthing. If i were to try to back up android 2.3.4 from my girlfriend lg revolution would i be abould to exract only the android 2.3.4 and erase the lg and somehow get sense 3.5. I dont know am new to this. I rooted the phone fine with no prob and i thought that an update would be easy. I did have amon ra but now i cant locate it on my sd card. I even tried the PH98IMG.zip thing and that didnt work. I will try anything please help and dont give up on me. Oh and is there another way to get the command promt up.
Everything you need can be found in these Rezound forums.
So you can get into fastboot. That's good.
Do you still have your computer set up from when you unlocked the phone? If not, download the mini sdk that MrSmith317 made that I've attached and place that in the C: directory of your computer and name it something easy, mine is named android-flasher. Then just always keep it there as you will need to use it often when modding your phone.
1) get the sdk working on your computer
2) On your phone, do a battery pull, then boot it into fastboot and then connect it to your computer.
3) Type the following at your computer's cmd prompt:
fastboot getvar all
and find out what mainver you are on.
* If you are on a mainver that starts with 3.x then you cannot run the RUUs. I will try to find out what you should do in that case. If your mainver starts with 1.x or 2.x then continue onto step 4.
4) Relock your phone by typing the following:
fastboot oem lock
5) Download the RUU for your mainver to your computer. Use the file from here that corresponds to your mainver:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/
This is an exe file so just run it on your pc with your phone attached. I know you need to be locked, I think you need HTC Sync installed, so if it's not working search for those answers, it will work, others have done it. Now you are back to stock.
5) Unlock your phone again using the same unlock bin file you got before by putting it in the same folder you are now using for sdk. Type the following command:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
If you don't have it obtain a new one by following the same steps you did before to get it originally. Here is a guide for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20780879&postcount=1
Now you should be stock and unlocked.
6) Flash Amon Ra in fastboot. Get the lateset version, 3.13. here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?chpoxzb8bl4nn2b
Type the following command to flash it:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img
Now you should have Amon Ra on your phone.
7) Root your phone by installing su using Amon Ra. Go to the developer menu and find the option in there.
Now you should be stock, unlocked and rooted.
8) MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP NOW AND LABEL IT.
9) Flash a new ROM.
*** If your mainver is 3.x try this thread to see if you can come up with a method to go back to stock. I haven't looked into this since I have not ventured into ICS land as of yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459347
There are also some threads about getting back to stock from ICS I think so here are my search results for "stock ics" in the thread title and you can probably find an answer in there somewhere.
Hope this helps you get back up and running.
OK nevermind I got it. I just download mik roms and the kernel right under ineffabilis rom and the link for the kernal is right under it. I had to do the steps twice but it work finally like at 430 in the morning. I turned off the computer and went to bed. The first thing I did when I woke up was check my phone and it was still working. Phone calls,text wifi pretty much all features are working. So i decided to write an update to let anybody know that if you have trouble fixing white htc screen dont worry it can be fixed. Am verying new to this and if I can fix this anyone can. I will check back on this post to see if any needs help. Thank you for the people who tried to help me in my post. Now I can be one of the people who help others now that I know who to root and fix the white sceen.
If you haven't done so, make a nandroid right now so you can always go back to that if anything gets messed up.
The "people" who tried to help you was me, so maybe you can hit my "thanks" button.
Just a detailed messages of What I did.
1) I erased any PH98IMG.zip or any other roms I download so the sdcard should have no roms,kernels or anything you downloaded to fix the white htc screen. What I did was use my girlfriend LG Revolution to insert my sdcard to erase any roms or whatever I tried to use to fix before.
2) put the sdcard back into the same phone and hold down the - volume and the power key to get to HBOOT screen. On this part I always did the battery pull but I left the back cover off up to you if you want to put it back on I guess it doesnt really matter and connect your phone to your computer.
3) Push the volume button down til you get to recovery and push the power button once to select recovery.
4) push the -volume til you get to USB-MS TOGGLE and push the power button once. Now go to USB-MS Toggle SDCard now your SDCard is read by your computer.
5) Now go to this website and dont read everything just use download link about half way down the web page. Ineffabilis V1.0 make sure to skip the ad first then the real download should pop up. Now click SAVEAS and when the files come up to choose where to save left click once to highlight your SDCard or removeable stroage and click save. Now do the same thing for the download right under Ineffabilis V1.0 named stock rooted kernel (flash in bootloader)

thank you so much guys from themikmik.com you saved my phone
6) After dowload is complete press power to disable USB-MS. Now push power once to return to recovery menu and disconnect your phone from the computer. Go down to wipe push power once to select. push power once on Wipe ALL data/factory reset and push power again to start the wipe. After that is done scoll down to Wipe Dalvik-cache after that is done go back to the recovery menu.
7) Now go to flash zip menu and push power once. Go to choose zip from sdcard now install the kernel and then the rom you downloaded.
9) once it is complete go to re boot system now and push the power button. and your done it will stay on the white screen for about 20 min and start up.
more info my s-on.
Just thought I would share this good luck.

Also erase or rename the PH98IMG.zip file from the root directory of your SDCARD. It could save you some headaches in the future.
Is there a root method even if u are on hboot 1.15? Still new to the rooting game so pardon my newbishness. Is there a way to downgrade the hboot?

No problem figured it out by using bits and pieces of other's peoples work if you have S-off so:
Install TWRP recovery:
Download http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/PJ7....2.0-jewel.zip
Rename that to PJ75IMG.ZIP and put it on the root of your SD card. Power down the phone and then hold the volume down and power button to go into the boot menu. It will find the PJ75IMG.ZIP file and want to install it. Follow the directions and install it.
Once you reboot the phone, rename or delete the PJ75IMG.ZIP file.
For root, then download CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip (attached), and copy it to the root folder of the external SD. Power down the phone and then hold the volume down and power button to go into the boot menu. Select the recovery menu and TWRP will come up. Install the CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip file and reboot. You now will have root.

I don't have s-off, and I haven't rooted it yet. I literally just picked it up yesterday. Will that still work for me? And thanks for helping me out

I don't believe that it will work with S-ON, but never tried it with S-ON either. Not going to tell you to try it, but think that it couldn't hurt your phone either considering that it would just fail or work. So with that you would have to try it as the risk of your phone, as with anything that you would do to modify stock ROM.
Cannot install custom ROM through adb fastboot.
Cannot root since display doesnt show hboot or recovery.
Can I not flash a stock RUU that is rooted via adb then have root?
Point me to that RUU? Ive looked everywhere.
I am so frustrated I will pay for this help. from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app

If you want stock, find your stock ROM in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644
Rename it to PH85IMG.zip and put it onto your external SD card. Boot into HBoot and it should automatically install the stock ROM. To root your stock ROM, use Hasoon's toolkit. It is literally fool proof.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493905
If you want a custom ROM, you'll need to install a custom recovery. Again, use Hasoon's toolkit and follow the instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493905
After installing a custom recovery, download and put the custom ROM onto your external SD card. Boot into recovery, go to "install from SD card" and select your ROM that you want to flash.
PS. If you're having problems with your phone, you need to post in the Q&A forum. This is a development forum.
]I cannot see HBOOT or Recovery.
My display is not working correctly for some reason. I have flashed the stock RUU and unlocked the bootloader via the toolkit.
Now I am stuck because I cannot see the recovery screen to actually install the superuser.zip that the toolkit put onto my sdcard.
Do you see what I am saying here?
If I could simply see my HBOOT and recovery screens I would have this phone rooted in 1 minute. I am looking for a way to root manually via adv or another method because I cannot see the recovery screen to know what buttons to click.

What he needs is someone to tell him how many clicks of the volume button gets him to the correct selection
His screen is off when we would normally see the hboot or recovery screens...
I will help... But.. I can't post pics or screen shots... Can someone past these for him or get them up in the correct threads.
This guy will then see the available selections on his computer screen...
Sig:
If I wanted a comeback outta you... I'd scrape the roof of your mouth...
If you want mine,. it'll land between your shoulder blades soon enough.

hboot screen looks like this...
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
power down
when you restart to bootloader it begins with bootloader already selected...volume down 1 time selects reboot...1 more time selects reboot bootloader...etc etc
push power button to activate selection.
i also use android ultimate toolbox to some basic adb commands with a UI from my windows 7 pc.
it also checks root flashed update.zips etc...check it out...it may help a bit as you can do some things quicker and more precisely with the UI than any command line...just remember some options are only for samsung (but they are marked with **)
i wouldnt reccomend it over hasoons toolkit but it does have built in file browser etc and i hate switching back and forth when im doing menial tasks in fastboot etc
