I have an Evo w/the latest OTAs.. but I heard that the HTC method of unlocking isn't as good as the revolution way.
What should I be looking for/waiting for? I'm so pissed off.. might just sell it and get the damn GS2 instead!

You can use HTC's method and still flash ROMs, kernels, or just root your phone. The steps are a little different with HTC's method than if your phone was just S-off, but I think you can accomplish everything besides flashing a different HBOOT. I do think a 4.5" screen might be nice to see though .
Thank you, kind sir.
Could you help me with these steps, please?
I am still a newbie, you see.
Thanks in advance.
Do some searching in cdma dev section I've seen how to root guides for hboot ..1.50

Being scared to root is completely understandable (to a degree), but you wrote that you were too lazy to root. I hope you can understand that being too lazy to root would be majorly frowned upon on a forum that is pretty much dedicated to rooting.

You can't brick these things unless you flash GSM radios/ROMs on to them.

Not true. A botched radio update in general can brick a phone.

Depends on what version of bootloader you have. Which one you got?

Betting its 1.5 if ya just got it. There are some good walk throughs out there. Have to use fastboot, but its fairly quick and easy.

Well I just got mine from sprint and mare sure they didn't update it outta the box..had 1.40 WOOT!!so what ya gotta do is pull the battery, put I back in and gold the VOL+DOWN & Power at the same time until it takes u into the Hboot...at the top it will tell u which Hboot u got
1.30xxxxx
1.40xxxxx
1.50xxxxx
Now the first two i listed are good...but if u got 1.50 u have to use HTC's method which still isn't bad...in the dev section there are a few great guides on how to use HTC's method and get u your recovery and everything. If u got either of the first two the Google _revolutionary_ and it should be the first selection that pops up...u will need the SDK Installed on Yur PC but I think it may give u a link on there page if u need it. But on the REV page they give great directions. I'm head to bed but I'm sure someone else here can help when u find out which Hboot u got. That's very important. Good luck....Jon

It doesn't suck if u know how to use it. It gives u full access to root, but there is an extra step to flashing custom kernels. scrosler I. the dev section made a program for the PC that makes it ten times easier to flash the newer twrp recovery and get u on Yur way. So for kernels u have to fastboot your CUSTOM kernels....

Okay so I got the EVO 3D about 2 days ago and fell in love with it. I just have some questions as a new EVO user.
1. Is rooting this phone dangerous? Has anyone ever bricked their device doing this?
2. What is the difference between the HTC bootloader unlocked and a rooting method on these forums. Oh and what is the best root method?
3. With all the features on the phone as it is, is it necessary to root in the first place
4. If so, what is the best ROM out right now (i heard alot about infected eternity)
5.is sense 3.5 available on this phone?
6. How do I get a working beats audio thing on here?
Thanks you guys,
Ognimnella
Sent from my 3D freaking fingertips using XDA App
1.no. Probably.
2. Depends on what hboot you are. Revolutionary is the best and only I think if you're 1.4.
3. Yes, for sure. So many things you can do with root.
4. I like eternity but I'm on myns warm rim now. Also like miui.
5. Yes there are a few 3.5 roms. Haven't tried them.
6. Beats are included in most roms nowadays but i've seen flashable zips around here somewhere.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Kay you need to tell us what hboot your on. Also yes root it now there are plenty of good roms out right now. Go with the one you would like the most. I personally like senseless Rom the most cuz it gives you aosp experience with your 4g and 3d. There is a 3.5 Rom right now and it will be updated soon now that sac got his phone running again. The beats file is in the dev section. And its flashable
The diff between HTC method is that you can't flash roms the traditional way you have to flash differently because of the kernal you have to flash kernal in fastboot mode with the htcmethod lame I know. The unrevoked method you can flash roms without doing all the bs which is awesome less work lol let us know your hboot so you can get more help
ok how do I find the hboot on this phone, also my phone is cdma, just a little extra info

Read what root is...and the risk of rooting NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE OF DAMAGES OR A BROKEN PHONE...
Do it at ur own risk ur resposible for ur own actions , if u don't know what ur doing , u better off getting someone who does or else u will brick ur phone. Flashing wit hboot 1.5 takes time n some knowledge.
Rooting wit 1.4 hboot is easy as 1,2,3!

Awesome. Thank you all.
They WILL still be able to see that you unlocked the bootloader, there are 3 statuses that it can have
Locked (stock)
Unlocked
Relocked
Yours will need to be relocked to flash the PH85IMG.zip files, however, it will be obvious to them that you had it unlocked at one point. The big thing missing from the OP is the reason it needs to be sent back. If it's a hardware failure unrelated to you unlocking the bootloader or software changes you've done, you should be fine.
I have known people to send back rooted phones and been fine and got a replacement. Their theory was if no water/hardware damage, then why the hub-hub. I personally wouldn't try that myself, but some people test the waters. Thus far it had been fine.

OK, here is another question: I being watching some of the PRO's and CON's of ICS for my EVO 3D (youtube videos), maybe is not good idea to upgrade to ICS get rid of the phone, get a new one with the new OS, move to Samsung phone. Like I said I could get out of the contract for $70.00 and get a new 2 year contract.
Sell this one as it is, and avoid the head pain someone created for me.
Any suggestion?
Sell, get a samsung. Only $ 70
you can sell the evo for at least that
