look in the "rollup sticky" thread over in the Development forum. Video tutorials and write-ups and links to drivers etc. are all in there.
This should be all you need to root, flash a recovery and install su. Follow the directions exactly and you wont have any issues. Works for me although I use TWRP 2.0.
Should note, Im a cdma user.
ok, thank you very much, I post it here if I have some more questions
Ok, Since three days I have root with cwm on my phone, the next thing would be what rom is good? Want to flash a custom Rom but I like the original sense htc style and just want to overclock and have some more options in the menus...would be nice if someone could tell me

If your just getting the phone now, chances are its gonna have hboot 1.5. So you'd have to use the HTC method.

YA Hboot1.5 your stuck with HTC method use CWM for recovery alot of folks had issues with TWRP 2.0 not flashing right and dirty flashes.
Themes won't flash right along with other things.
Twrp 2.0 works perfectly for me. Only one version of clockwork will stick...so I use twrp, I like the touch based recovery. And I've had no issues making nands or restoring them. This coming from years of using clockwork. Just gotta adapt.

Help With Boot!
Hello,
I have installed the ROM on my EVO 3D trhough Clockworkmod's latest version. I am Unlocked on HBOOT 1.50. However, almost every ICS Rom I install, INCLUDING this one, when it reboots, it stays frozen on the HTC Screen with the green HTC lettering, and the White Background, and does nothing. How can i get rid of this? what do I need to do? PLEASE HELP!
Moved to proper forum.
With hboot 1.5. Go into fastboot and do fastboot boot recover img.img with whatever recovery yoyr using with sdk then install rom

Get S-off. The ICS ROM's don't flash well with 1.5 s-on. In fact, almost every person who flashes an ICS Rom that is 1.5 s-on has this issue. Getting s-off is pretty easy to do now. See the stickies in the GSM or CDMA development thread (depending on your phone).
Also, I recommend posting questions in the Q&A section when you need help.

Can you please post the link to the instructions or guide? As i said, all i have done on the device so far is gained root access trough HTCDEV.com. So it is just "unlocked". What should i do then? and is it one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24530433#post24530433

That's it! I was on my phone earlier or I would have posted it, but it looks like you didn't need me to . I did mine using the method in my signature, but I think the wire trick that you posted is easier from what I have read. Good luck.
It worked great! thanks to all
Good evening,
I want to gain super user on my HTC evo 3D GSM phone. Also I would love to have a backup of original stock due to warranty ( got 2 years).
I don't want any fancy ROM's or anything stupid.
Just original stock ICS 4.0.3 just like stock 4.0.3 but with Super user. All I want is Super user nothing else is needed.
I know how to S-off.
My boot screen says this:
Code:
[COLOR="Magenta"]*** LOCKED ***[/COLOR]
[COLOR="SeaGreen"]SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53.0007
eMMC-boot
May 22 2012,01:06:07[/COLOR]
European user no sprint here.
Do not post posts with there are guides... There are like 100 of them and most of them are about S-off and others just look like gibberish nonsenses. I would love to see a clean simple guide to receive Super user.
Thank you for your time and please don't judge me...
All roms have super user pre-installed, there's alot if roms for gsm phones, but you will have to flash new firmware for most if the current roms, after you unlock and root, 4ext recovery has the option of backing up your current rom (nandroid backup) and flash to your hearts content with boot loops

Thanks for fast response, but your post is not helping at all... I could use some real links to ROM and how to root it. As I stated above I don't need anything fancy just ICS 4.0.3 with SU. and please no short forms, lost in the meanings To my understanding as a computer engineer and programmer Boot loop is a loop that keeps booting and reseting it and do the same till the end of times But I guess in android community it means something else
Ok , go to the evo 3d gsm forum and you will find rom's galore, I am done here, no thanks is required and have fun with all the boot loops oh I forgot :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

AFAIK, Superuser access will require you to root your phone. If you want to root it, try the HTCdev method and then install SuperSU from the market.

Hi guys I am a new and very happy EVO 4G LTE user. Got my phone almost 2 weeks ago. Its a very sexy device.
But I am wondering if I am using my phone to its full capabilities. I haven't rooted or install any rom , but I am familiar with installing roms. I did it to my Evo 4G. I am no expert I id go through a bit of trouble to get it right.
I want to know what are some MUST HAVE things for this phone. Ive read about google now and I would love to be able to use an app like that. I think I have to install a rom for that and i am willing to do it. I am a bit scared to do the rom and flash a rom because I dont want to mess it up. Its running so nice right now. But if anyone is willing to help me and guide me in the right direction so I install some cool stuff and most important something that is well made. I want to see if you guys recommend me some roms and maybe a guide on how to root it and install roms and do it all correctly.
Thanks in advance and if you can post some links to maybe youtube vids that would be greatly appreciated.
Rooting is pretty straight-forward. It just depends on what hboot u have. Zedomax's root method is preferred to htcdevunlock, but if u plan to s-off the difference is minimal. Sorry if this is confusing. Do u know your hboot version? To find out turn phone off, then when turning back on hold down power and volume down until screen pops up. Look for hboot version # and remember that.
As far as a good stock starter rom with google now and multitasking fix I'd go with flex 360's stock w/ goodies. It has the beauty of sense but with the better battery life and speed of a custom rom. Actually haven't found a rom I like more since I left the og EVO.
What is the difference between s-on and s-off? What are the pros and cons of each on.

The version is 1.19.0000

Does that Rom flex 360 have any issues with WiFi or 4g. Cuz that's something I don't want to lose.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
The difference between son and soff is that soff gives direct write access to the partitions. Son does not allow you to flash the kernel unless in recovery or flash any firmware updates. There is a downgrade toolkit being worked on and it's looking good from all the talk going on in the thread.

if u and up rooting and flashing a rom try mean rom!! :good:
If you hadn't quoted I wouldn't have caught my typo lol
Speaking as a noob my self.. if you really want ot root your phone.. listen to the folks on this forum .. they are extremely knowlegable and have helped me out of a couple of jams .. and just read alot.. this forum.. and any thing you can get your hands on
Viper rom is the best customizable rom and battery life is getting up there (currently challenging viper and awillis!) Meanrom most stock rom ever and its mad fast (version 4.8) stock with goodies aka flex360 rom is focused on multitasking and before that it was smoothest stock rom and was a deep sleeper (havent tried the recent version). Cm10 by deck is best aosp version of jelly bean (4.1) still a nightlie build but its daily driver worthy. These were the roms ive flashed and ran the past week.. i kept switching, hard to stay on one cause all of them are amazing. I personally flash for fun and to try the stuff that the devs have given us. Choose whatever fits u and satisfy u. Dont forget these are the devs choice to give us, so take what we have! Im sure there are other roms that r good its just i havent ran them cause theres too much but kudos to any devs that take their time on building a rom for us.
Btw Plz dont bash on my opinions im just saying

No issues with WiFi or 4g at all. Every rom has some little things wrong with it, but no more than stock does.
U want to use the htcdev unlock method to root. It's really easy, just follow the directions. I don't have the link since I'm on xda app. Just search EVO LTE forum for root. It's possible that the regawmod root method will still work, but they both use the htcdev unlock.
Also, flashing roms is going to be different than og EVO. U need to flash kernel separate from rom using flashGUI or adb tools via fastboot. Unless u decide to go s-off, then u can flash rom like you're used to
I'm running cleanrom 1.5 and I love it! I rooted mine in July so I'm sure there is a whole new way to root it now. But soff is pretty awesome. There are some great kernals out there and they can do wonders for your speed and battery life.

Search zedomax root method for root. Then lazypanda for s-off. Just follow instructions to a T and u will be fine.
U lucky bc 1.12.
Another new user here. I'm rooted but everything else is still stock. I've got HBoot 1.12 so it sounds like S-OFF will be easy. After that do I need to update the firmware and/or radio or can I go straight to TWRP recovery and try out custom ROMs?

U can go straight to twrp now and flash roms all u want. Ur rooted and have hboot 1.12, so just install rom from twrp and ur good. If u had 1.15+ then u would have to flash the kernel seperate, but no need to worry about that.
If u want s-off u should probably just go straight from root to lazypanda since the closest thing to stock works the best. Just make sure u read everything u can and follow directions exactly and u will be fine.
As far as flashing radios u can do that, but go s-off first so u don't have issues here. S-off allows u access to all partitions on your phone. 1.12 is good on access as well but just not as much as being totally s-off.
Make sure u flash radios properly, never downgrade or u will brick most likely. Follow captain throwback's radio thread for further in depth tips.

Hi everyone,
First time poster here. Recently rooted my own HTC Amaze and thought I'd give veegsej some tips on what worked for me, so here we go
Honestly the best and easiest way to root your phone is to use Hasoon2000's HTC Amaze All-In-One Toolkit! Plug your phone into the computer and follow the onscreen instructions when you open the program.
After you've unlocked the bootloader (from the instructions given in the program), install a recovery- I suggest the first one on the list (4EXT). Under *Extras*, run perm root to push supersu.zip onto your phone. After all that, boot your phone into recovery mode and use 4EXT to find and install supersu.zip file. Once you do this, you'll be fully rooted and good to go!
*Extra tip*- in 4EXT I also recommend you turn on the *Smart Flash* option which will enable your phone to install/flash roms and all sorts of goodies in the future. :victory:
Hope this helps!

You're right the forums do have all the information available. I was hoping my post would at least, in a nutshell, summarize everything that had to be done so he/she would know what to do in just a few short paragraphs.
What if there was a section for noob's for every device?
I bet people would still take the time to say "You need to search!" Lol. Not directed at anyone specific, just a joke

Yas4 v11 does not need the S-ON, so I've got one thing less to think about, and that's the only thing I actually know...should I root the device? ( don't think so ) Still I think I should install a recovery right?...please gimme some basic steps and I'll wreck my mind into it, I don't really want to be a disturbance.

First of all, the rom itself is rooted so when you flash you will have root. This does not require S-OFF because it is based on stock ics. To do the procedure you have to unlock your bootloader through the htc.com website and have the fastboot drivers and files on your pc to flash the unlock code binary. There are plenty of guides showing how to do it, just a registration on the site and follow the steps to unlock it (ps: you will loose all the personal data on your phone, eg:factory reset. SD card won't be affected) After this part is done you will see ***UNLOCKED*** on the top of the bootloader of your phone, good luck

Yeah weird, you got it second hand? You could bypass the unlock from htc because of S-OFF, nevermind. So you can install any custom rom out there, remember that using any aosp rom you will loose the 3D recording (taking video/pictures). What's your hboot version? To install 4ext on your mobile you can download it here and flash it through fastboot mode. "fastboot flash recovery 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC1.img" is the command. Change the recovery name to a smaller one for easier use.

In order to install aosp roms you have to downgrade your hboot. If you want to downgrade it is very easy. I can explain it to you if you want.

So Aosp rom is equivalent to custom rom...
Whould this be allright?:
Downgrade to BL 1.49
Quote:
►►Now to downgrade bootloader to 1.49....
►►Remember that PG86IMG.zip file?
►Put it on the root of your sdcard (so don't put it inside any folder)
►Boot to Hboot->Fastboot-> bootloader
►Press BOOTLOADER button...
►Now we wait until the installation is finished... of course, press YES when it says so.
►►You're now on bootloader 1.49, S-OFFed, and with a custom recovery...
If not please explain
