Anybody know when the new revolutionary 1.5 hboot update is being released? I bought my phone from Best Buy and the sales rep took it upon herself to update my phone for me. HTC's way is gay and I'd rather wait.

haven't seen anything posted yet. the best places to contact (or be in contact with) revolutionary is their irc channel on freenode, #revolutionary.
it will be interesting to see how they approach supporting the later version, i.e. whether they completely replace the bootloader or exploit htc's unlock method.
we all anxiously await!
Appreciate it. I've been searching for a week now.

I learned the hard way and updated without thinking. So ill have to wait. Maybe wait to see what the options are after ICS is released.

I've been looking at these forums everyday for over a month and there's still no root. Does anyone have an idea of how close they are to obtaining root??

htc method works for me. its a little annoying to flash a rom (need to do fastboot boot recovery to flash it) but it's still full root and stuff.
the title is a bit misleading. and I hope it breaks through soon
i just got my fone off of ebay today. it was already updated. guess im dead in the water for now
I used HTC's method to unlock and get root, I am on 2.5 and updated as well because my first intentions for the phone was not to root it, and now I am kicking my ass for updating to 1.50 Hboot. But either way, here is how HTC's method has worked for me in case any of you are thinking about doing it and wondering if it is worth the trouble. Yes, it is worth the trouble. Instructions and time to do it all in all wasn't even that bad in my opinion, and now at least I can flash roms (which I have been doing a lot this past week back and fourth). However I want a pure AOSP rom, with pretty much NOTHING sense, no sense dialer apk, contacts apk, evo stock messaging apk... a lot of the "AOSP" roms out there now still have some of these things that I have tried. So basically I want CM 7, cuz that's the best AOSP rom I have ever used... and I downloaded the Alpha build from Toast, but it requires S-OFF.. which doing HTC's method does not turn S-OFF... so it makes me sad So hopefully this gets kickin soon!

I had no idea HTC forces two or more men to engage in sexual acts just to get the boot loader unlocked. That is just not right!
Oh wait, I did the HTC method and had no sexual contact with another male. I think you'll be fine there pal.

But you have no clue what is happening in HTC's server room or software development office. The homosexual acts may be taking place on their side.
BTW, if some tech support person updated my phone for me automatically, I'd tell them I didn't want it and they can change the phone.
Haha, agreed with the user above me!

Here are the instructions I went to and followed and worked just fine. the website requires you to create an account before you view the goodness, but of course that is free. Other than that, you just need to download a few things; one being the HTC Sync program, and a couple of Zip files, but after you do that, follow the instructions and you'll be good to go! Need any other help please don't hesitate, feel free to ask!

I did the HTC 1.5 "rooting" method successfully.
My problem now is that adb won't recognize my phone when I'm in fastboot (trying to flash ROM/Kernal). If I'm in the ROM it recognizes it, if I'm in recovery it recognizes it, when I did the 1.5 "root" it recognized it.
However when I get to the point of trying to fastboot into recovery it doesn't see it using the "adb devices" command.
I've tried reinstalling SDK several times, I've tried reinstalling the USB drivers several times, I've tried all of it on two different computers (one xp, one windows seven), debugging is allowed and fast boot is not checked.
This is a problem for flashing ROMs AND Kernals obviously.
Any ideas?

that's because you need to use fastboot, not adb, when you're in fastboot. google htc fastboot drivers g1. they're for the g1 but work fine for all other htc phones. put it in the same directory as adb. and the command is
fastboot devices
so yeah, there's your problem
omg I was stuck on a step that was already completed....thanks for your help! First droid, first root, first flash successful

Team Revolutionary has already the patch.. i presume they're working on it and they'll release soon but there's no ETA .. we're on the same boat .. HBOOT 1.49.0011 and 1.50 same exploit tool i guess..
My advice to all - is to wait for team rev's update!

Unfortunately no, there isn't a way to downgrade. HTC makes it so you can't downgrade the bootloader (unless you were S-off). The RUU would error out at the bootloader, and tell you 'main version older' or something like that. You could use the HTC 'unlock' method and flash a recovery, but you'd still be S-on, and won't be able to flash kernels. If I were in your situation, I'd probably just hang tight for a little while and wait and see if revolutionary gets updated (because it's said that they're in the process of working on the 1.5hboot).
Yeah I just ran thru the HTC Dev unlock already. Back everything up, and flashed the recovery. I think I will try out the cleanrom for now and see if anything happens. I been up too long and I am delirious lol. Thank you for your reply. Hopefully I didn't screw anything else up hah.

Just an Update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224781
Here is an update on unlocked bootloader for 1.50 Hboot.
Confirmed it says unlocked, but seems to be some issues with s-on s-off. I was able to get recovery flashed. Now I am trying to flash cleanrom atm. As we speak booting to cleanrom. Booted...no issues thus far. Running great. Now I will try a different kernel and see if that works.
I am having a hard time with getting my voicemails sent to my evo3d as a notification for a new message.. this has been a prob for sometime now and I've always just thought that I never had ne voicemails or perhaps I haven't set up my voicemail account right or at all just yet when come to find out yesterday I had 33 msgs exceeding my inbox n lost em all.. never once had I got the notifications or alerts for any of em though. Can any one assist me in fixing this issue please? I've alrdy tried calling CricKet and having them reset my voicemail services n that didn't seem to werk either. So far that's as far as I got. Also, I can't seem to get the thumbnail photos of my contacts to show in the messaging app or whatever, not even as i am in the current conversation with sumone.. it just shows the blank pic. And they show in my contacts book/app just fine. How do I go about fixing this as well? Thanks in advance.. oh yea lemme give yu detail on my phones details to further help with the assistance. I am currently running "joeykrim's original 1.2.0 Odex" ROM which I had gottn off ROM Manager and flashed over using TWRP's 1.3 Recovery .. I might also add that i am with CricKet's slow ass service running on PRL #45512 in Colorado. And yes this ROM is the latest updated version of 2.3.4... If need more info or even a descent screenshot of my settings or info on device and image of the problems I'm having I can also provide upon request..
Sorry if this ain't the place for this question but I have searched evrywhere n did my part in th research n read rule alrdy n have found nuthn what so ever related to my concerns so please don't gimme the ol look around speech please...

Nah we were in this situation for awhile with the Incredible. Nand unlock or s-off lets you flash radios and hboot. . It also sticks through most updates for instance those who had s-off before the 1.5 update are able to go back if they want and are able to root without using htc unlock.
what you get with the htc unlock is a permanent root that allows custom recovery and roms. not sure about kernels as I have read conflicting posts. as always your best bet is to read up in the forums before accepting any updates from htc.
any updates fellow members security -off for the new hboot version ?

I unlocked through the HTC unlock . Its correct that it doesnt allow you to get S-Off , but from my expierence flashing on the 3D is as follows . If you enter fastboot through CMD screen and fire up recovery through CMD it flashes everything . I have flashed several different roms in the past week . Boot animations change , Kernels change everything changes . Now I have not tried to flash radios and so forth . That may still be locked out I am not sure from personal expierence . I only went the HTC unlock way , mainly due to getting a new job and now getting a discount through verizon . I may (Keyword MAY) jump ship to Verizon only due to coverage issues and the Droid Prime . For the time being the coverage issues I can deal with . Also most of my family is on verizon . But back to the main point . Most of the functions that I had with S-Off I am still able to do as long as I start up recovery through CMD prompt . I have a feeling HTC did this intentionally . My theories on it is , by forcing users to go through the command promt . It "kinda" weeds out the users that know what they are doing from the ones that don't. Yes its easy to get around it and now isnt so much a problem to flash through cmd and most anyone will eventually find the way to do so . But that is how the internet works , information is passed even faster than before and like all information . The ones who really shouldnt mess with it will get access to it and others who know what they are doing have it . When I mean by users that shouldnt have access I mean the ones who have no clue what a Kernel is and just flash things to flash things and end up with a nice paperweight . Im by no means a hardcore hacker or power user , but I do spend several nights reading as much as I can and asking the correct questions before I proceed with anything on my phone since its my only form of communication (no home phone).
I unfortunately dropped my phone this last weekend and shattered the screen. I still have it (probably for only another day) and it still works. Is there any way to use this rooted, s-off, busted phone to get s-off on my new phone that came installed with 1.5?

It's yousefAK....duh....
I will call balderdash on this, as he only made a video of the GUI, which could easily be cobbled together in about 20 min. The video was uploaded over a month ago (Oct 1), and is "in development". I'm thinking the exploit referred in the description either:
A. Never existed
B. Didn't work like the vid owner anticipated
Even the yousefAK offers this response, from 3 weeks ago (around Oct 21):
"Use HTC's unlock and flash TWRP 1.1. Then flash the SU files and you have permanent root. The only thing is that you will have to flash kernels through fastboot"
So I just got the EVO 3D and am running HBOOT 1.5 and the most recent update I believe. Nothing I could do about that, it was preloaded on there.
I'm wondering if it is even worth it for me to root my phone at this point. I've seen a few people hboot 1.5 **** up their phones and i'd rather not do that. I'm no stranger to custom roms at all (I installed countless ones on my Hero) so it's not that I'm not familiar. Were the people who messed up their phones just doing stuff they shouldn't have/being stupid in general?

More than likely, yes. Most users who follow the guides don't seem to have issues.
The HTC unlock method changes the dynamics a bit from previous common and accepted methods. Many "new" users become between old and current guides.
As far as I've seen, there are only three limitations to hboot 1.5, compared with early "compromised" versions using the AlphaRevX revolutionary method.
1) Kernel is not able to be flashed from recovery mode. Work arounds include: flashing from normal Android mode, my app is great for that, Flash Image GUI. Loading the custom recovery from fastboot. Flashing the kernel from fastboot. Using the "dumlock" method with TWRP.
2) Unable to selectively flash radio images
3) Unable to selectively flash intial splash screens
If I'm missing anything, I'm sure somebody else can post up.
None of those seem like deal breakers to me. Thanks for the fast replies.
It's kind of a ***** just because you have to do a few extra steps but if you know what your doing you won't screw it up.
Yarr. I think I'm going to keep stock for probably just a bit longer. Maybe 1.5 S-Off wont be a problem then. Not bored of it yet, and coming from HTC Hero the thing is a dream.
Root is the way to go Get rid of bloat Also adb isn't hard I always fastboot boot recovery.img and wipe flash no issues
Should I start a new thread on this? I tried to root my HBoot1.5 with 2.17.651.5. When I have went through the HTC unlock process it stays locked. I tried to install the 2.08 version through the original RUU, but it keeps failing. Not sure where I should go from there.

first you unlock your bootloader using HTC's method for , next youll want to flash the recovery to a new verson and then boot into it and load your phone as a usb device and then copy over the super user zip and run it...;reboot then youre rootedafter that you look up Unknownforce's method to dpwngrade and obtain s-off or you can do the new "wire trick"

Let me be totally honest the easiest way to hboot s off is to perform the wiretrick it is the easiest fastest way to do it.... its all about the wire timing and having a root on your phone with a pc with the program and adb and fastboot drivers
you can obtain the adb and fastboot drivers by searching rootevo3dnew.zip via google and dll that once done go into the folder or zip file and obtain A file Called HTC Driver.exe click it and install after that use jeuponut bears wiretrick
For me, its easier to use boot cd or boot flashdisk...

If you follow the directions in the stickies in the development forum, you will be fine. I bricked mine following their directions and had no issues. Either way (using the wire trick or bricking), you will bee so glad you are s-off.

The brick is only a temp-brick. Think of it more as putting it into a "recovery mode" in which you're recovering to a lower hboot. It's simple enough to do once you get it into that mode. Plus you don't have to use HTC Unlock and hand over your warranty to HTC.

as iam new to this when i tried it... i am really nervous of bricking my phone... but eventually... i succeeded after several tries of doing the same thing over and over again..... and its pretty exiting....you try it...you'll be fine
Dont use htcdev for these reasons:
1.Warranty void aka re-locked
2. Its a lot of mess
3.You need to flash the boot.img once you flash a new rom again.

Which of those is the latest one or best one to use if we have to unroot and roll back to stock? I have only had this particular phone a few days and am still getting up to speed. Thanks!
Use the 2.13 ruu.
Had the same issue happen to me and wanted to check if anyone has the link to the latest RUU if this is not it. any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I need some help, and as I always say I don't ask for help unless I really can't find a solution. I tried unlocking my bootloader using the HTCDev method, but when I try to flash the unlock code bin file it gets stuck saying its sending and never moves. Same happened weeks back with my HTC Mytouch 4g Slide and I had somehow got it to work after fiddling here and there. I have HTC Sync uninstalled (I even reinstalled it to uninstall it again and keep the drivers) and I even eliminated my PDANet which seems to cause issues in situations like this. Rebooted my computer literally over 10 Times, same bull. I just can't remember how I got it working on my MyTOUCH. SO...I'm on hboot 2.09 and was wondering if these files would downgrade the hboot or something. All drivers seem to be proper, so I don't see why I'm having issues. I'm familiar with the adv and fastboot tools, I even made the android folder on the main harddrive directory that every post recommends , have the unlock_code.bin there but its the issue of not pushing. I have an old PC but if it worked on my MyTOUCH at one point I doubt it has anything to do with it.
So I wanted to know if its possible to downgrade the hboot to use a different method.
The method of rooting the phone is the same regardless of Hboot, so downgrading won't help you. Click the link in my sig and go to the section that contains the bootloader unlocking tools. Click on the WinDroid toolkit and see if you have any luck with that, instead.

Not root, unlocking the bootloader. It says Sending and never does a thing. It should say Okay immediately after pushing the file but its not doing anything for me. Its supposed to quickly give you a disclaimer on your phone to select whether or not to unlock the BL, but all my phone does is sit in fastboot mode. So I wanted to know if these stock restore things can downgrade the HBOOT as well so I can unlock it in a different manner instead of HTCDev's method. I've been stuck with a locked bootloader for a week since purchasing this phone. My MyTouch4g slide had the same issue but I had done something that got it going, in this case, I've tried everything. Also these self made executable programs like WinDroid give me a "not a valid Win32 application" message on my laptop. They just won't run at all.

There is no other method to unlock the bootloader aside from HTC Dev. Doesn't matter what Hboot version you're on or what software version you have. Even programs like regaw_leinad's toolkit uses HTC Dev-it just automates the entire process.
Shoot Bigdaddy619 a PM. He should be able to get you straightened out.

Hmm come to think of it your right I have seen the scripts mention HTCDev. So what can I do to get it to flash that Unlock_code.bin? HTC Sync is uninstalled, PDANet is also gone, the drivers have been left behind. My device does show up as a fastboot device and the Device Manager shows the phone as MyHTC when on fastboot, what am I missing? Its all set but just stays there...

You did get the email from HTC with the unlock token and place it in your ADB tools folder, right?

No LOL went outside for a second. I would definitely let you help, BUT I'm using an OLD Dell laptop. So old I think cavemans existed when it was invented. My HP is in repair. Bought it new, came faulty, sent for repair. Came back, new issues, right back to HP, so I'm using this wifiless crap for now. I haven't bothered buying it a WiFi adaptor since its so darn old. I mean what can be done with 128mb of ram? Imagine.
It has USB 1.0 ports, I read some discussions that it maybe the case, but the same was said about my old MyTouch 4G Slide and the token went thru eventually.

Yes I even sent the code a second time to make sure the file didn't magically get corrupted.

So, I have gone through the whole process of rooting my phone, unlocking it. I have TWRP on it, Titanium backup (thankfully), Goo Manager. It is S-on. I have 2.09 Hboot. My TWRP-jewel is 2.5.0.0. Ok, now onto my question, I am trying to get CM-10 to load but it doesn't go any further than the load screen. No matter what I try. I have even tried switching to JellyBAM but all to no avail. Can someone offer me tips as to what I may have done or be doing wrong? Thanks in advance
[Q] trying to put CM10 on my rooted phone
Forgive me if I put this in the wrong group, but I feel this is probably the right one for it. I have Hboot 2.09. I have TWRP. I have S-on. I want to put CM10 with Gapps onto my phone but every way I have tried, CM10 just sits there and loops around, the longest being an hour. I figured some time was possible, but come on. Over on Google+, people are telling me to flash this and flash that, fastboot this or that. I have no idea what they are trying to say to me. I am loving learning all of this but I need a little more explanation than just flash something. I realize that flash has something to do with commands. I am running windows 8 if that helps on my laptop. My TWRP version is 2.5.0.0. I don't know if my phone has gone through the latest update or not. Thanks for any help you can give me!
You have to install the kernel separately from the ROM since you're S-on. Click the link in my sig for more info.
You most likely have the newest touch panel driver, so you can only use ROM's based off the latest OTA, software version 3.16. Your touchscreen won't work otherwise. You can gain S-off and downgrade your touch panel driver, at which point you can run AOSP ROM's like CM.

First of all you might be on the newest touch panel driver, and that's the first thing that gets you in trouble because aosp roms don't work with that, as of now, it might work later... Who knows... Secondly you need to flash the boot.img separately thru fastboot because your are s-on and on 2.09... To make your life easier try to get s-off either thru facepalm or dirty racun... That way you can flash any rom and also downgrade your touch panel driver to get aosp working on your phone... If you flash viper rom it has a senseless option so you can use nova and get stability and some sort of aosp look... Good luck!

Yes, S-off is the way to go if you want to run CM. Otherwise, try meanbean or viper or sharkie or any other sense based Rom. They should work fine.

I have tried to do facepalm. When I put the code in (I'm assuming it goes in the command window), I get messages like "adb not valid command". Even though my phone is most definitely rooted, says unlocked. Should I redownload android-sdk? Thanks again!

ADB commands must be issued when the phone is mounted as media share not as fastboot. Connect your phone as if you were transferring files between it and your pc.
Something new to try since you're on the latest OTA.

I do have it connected to the computer like that. Do you mean I have to go into TWRP and mount it that way? I tried it that way too. I downloaded and whole new android SDK to see if that is the problem. If not, I am going to factory reset my phone and start over. I can't imagine why I was able to root the phone, get it unlocked, but now I can't do anything else with it. Not even get adb commands to recognize it.

Message is for user tabidee tho if anyone else can help..koo..but I doubt u want tow
This is for tabidee hey I was reading ur stuff on xda developers and I have a question. If u can help if not its cool. Ok so i got my sprint evo and I went to try to root it. I went thru a process that with the steps combined with htcdev site got me to say unlock my bootloader. I used hoot 2.09 and I was supposed to flash this pimg175 zip to i guess install a recovery. Well that won't work at all... I cant get my s on switched to s off and so i am stuck with according to the hoot screen a tampered, unlocked with s on, unrooted phone. I am so confused with all the steps and files I had to download, rename and save to various folders that I gave up. With my phone at its current state what do I do next? I deleted all the files from the day I unlocked it but if you can explain to me... And explain like if I was a five year old cuz I'm that dumbfounded on this subject... But if u can maybe walk me thru the rest of the process or walk me thru a undoing of what I done so far. I'm lisa. My email is [email protected]
Check out the link below. It's a GUI for rooting and has everything you need to get your phone rooted. You'll need to install the recovery first then superuser, which will give you root.
