So I've been following the progress of the Evo 3D for a bit, decided ok I'll get one, and now am at a loss. I've tried every method posted on this site to try and unlock my phone, the TWRP method, Revolution, HTCDEV method, all of them, and none of them are working for me. With the HTC DEV method, I flash the unlock code.bin and there it stops. Tried running the RUU and I get errors, Revolution doesn't even support my hboot version and TWRP is also for older hboot versions. The only one I haven't tried is a method listed in the Express rom thread, there is supposedly a file called reboot3d.zip but the file isn't there anymore for me to try. I'm at my wits end. All I want is to flash a new rom and recovery, unlock my wifi tether and remove some bloatware, why is this so difficult? Has anyone had any success with an unlockable phone by any means? Please, any help would be appreciated.

the htc device method should work are you sure youre typing in the command this way
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
and are you using linux mac or windows as your computer operating system to do this
I assume u are getting stuck at step 13 with Hboot 1.50 unlocking. Htcdev method is the only method.
What is ur current Sw version. 2.08.651.3, 2.17.651.5, etc?
You need to run the matching full Sw Ruu or a more current one (exe or zip version), then the code will work. The Guide/flashing notes in my signature may help u.

Trying to root using HTC 1.5 with no success.
Hi to all I have tried to root using the HTC boot unlocker with no success. I was using the step by step instructions from HTC evo hacks. I got to the step at the command prompt where I put in the unlock code and I got this : C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.152s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [ 0.007s]

See the Guide/flashing Notes in my signature. You need to rerun the currently installed "FULL" Ruu or the the Latest RUU, then the unlock will work.
I did the HTCDev and unlocked it went to thread on downgrade from 1.5 hboot to 1.4 tried that and it did not work. I went to try the wire trick and this is what I get when I try to use the controlbear. the phone connects and goes through process but says the following...
======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========
Starting up......
Connecting to device...
Searching device.....
Found device.....but device has no root!!
Press ENTER to exit.....
Any help would be helpful I have tried superuser but wont install, tried rootevo3dnew, temproot sensation Ect. everything says I need to be rooted.
I am running stock rom that shipped with phone and yes I did updates. I am Sprint CDMA 2.17 rom shipped, 1.5 Hboot. I have flashed roms and modded before but dont consider myself to be advanced. I have done flashing and installing roms with my old HTC Touch pro2 but alot easier on touch pro2 LOL... Please point me in the correct place I have beeen all over from this thread to that one and back and forth and yes I have search threads and I have tried them but still come back to the one with wire trick..

Ok, let's make sure we know where you are at to start with. When you use the vol and power button to boot to fastboot, does the phone show "unlocked". If not, I think you need to do the htc method again. I have not kept up recently, but I am not sure there is any method other than the HTC method that works every time for 1.5. I have used the HTC method on two phones without a problem, so that is the method I use.
Once you get that far, I used adb to push or flash the twrp image into the recovery section of the phone. Then you should be able to flash superuser via the install menu of twrp. There are threads that have detailed explanations on how this is done.
Yea, I had a bit of a learning curve from my TP2 also, but love this phone!

In my post Ive included a flashable SuperSU zip. What youll need to do is boot to recovery and install this zip. Then reboot. You should have superuser access then.
Still learning this forum so excuse any errors I make. I've spent the last 10 hours trying to fix the mess I created on my wife's Evo 3d. I was able to root my phone and it was relatively easy so I tackled hers as well and have gotten a bootloop I cannot figure out, 10 hours later. I'm on hboot 1.5. I unlocked the phone (using a pretty reliable video), loaded 4EXT Recovery then tried to load roms. Everything worked fine until the rom-loading portion. Since then, the phone loops, but once or twice it made it all the way to the main screen and before I could slide the ring, a read error message appeared next to the bars of service then the phone just completely reboots. Right now, the only thing I can get into is the bootloader and the clockworkmod v4.0.1.4, somehow I lost my 4EXT Recovery. I'm stuck and in dire straights as my wife is going out of town and will KILL me if I don't fix her phone. Please help! BTW, somehow I managed to NOT back anything up (stupidity on my part). Will I be able to get this thing back to stock at least or is it now a paperweight?

Your not bricked by any means. And Im going to guess you tried to boot an ICS rom.. dont. They dont work with hboot 1.5. If you really want to go back to stock run the 2.17 RUU and youll be back to where you started. Another option is to download a GB rom and flash that. Not ICS. If your able to get to the bootloader than you can still load up 4ext recovery so you can flash the GB rom.
Edit: some hboot 1.5 users are lucky and can flash them if they used the correct VM firmware but majority of users have problems.

Thanks, I just tried flashing a rom that has taken it back to stock but I'm still in the bootloop. Should I stop flashing and simply locate the RUU?
22410,
It sounds like the kernel did not flash correctly with 4ext Recovery (next time, make sure u indicat S-on in its settings). I'm not sure if you were just stock 2.17 rooted or not, but use 7zip on your pc to open & extract/copy out the "boot.img" file from the rom, zip, etc you were using and copy it to your fastboot pc folder. Still have the Cwm 4.0.1.4 recovery.IMG file there too right (or the 4ext recovery.img file)? Ok...
- put phone in fastboot usb mode
From PC's fastboot command prompt type:
- " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
(this will reflash the kernel/boot image extracted from a rom)
If your recovery is screwed up:
- " fastboot flash recovery YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(ie: cwm_4.0.1.4_recovery.img or recovery.img, etc as listed in fastboot folder, to reflash a recovery to your phone).
With S-on, to properly enter a recovery for flashing ANYTHING you must:
- " fastboot boot YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(doesn't apply if using 4ext's Smartflash or TWRP's Dumlock settings. But you must have a bootable android OS/kernel first, once the flash is screwed it won't work).
If u have a Sprint CDMA EVO3D/HTC Unlocked & S-on (not Jbear s-Off), then the guide in my signature has more info.
Edit: as NIN said you will likely have problems flashing ICS roms with S-on (hboot version doesn't matter). If u are still unlocked & have a working recovery u can flash any gb Rom successfully after wiping system, data, & cache (or run superwipe zip). Meanrom GB v4.5 recommended.

Hi,
Well, i got myself into this mess and after 3 days of trying to fix it, i give up and call for your assistance.
I had a working S-ON HBOOT 0.47 rooted Legend running CM7.2 and recently changed to Jelly_Bean_Extras_HomICS_2.0_Venus.
I liked the new rom but link2sd didn't work.
My guess was that i need to have it S-OFF.
So... i headed to HTCDEV but first i needed to be on one of the listed RUU.
My original RUU was RUU_Legend_HTC_ISR_2.05.461.52_Radio_47.39.35.09_7.08.35.21_release_140015_signed.zip
I used the LEGEIMG.zip method to flash the RUU and then i flashed the one from HTCDEV which holds "hboot_legend_7227_1.02.0000_111223.nb0" only.
Now the HBOOT got to be 1.02.0000
After flashing this, i got stuck.
No recovery - i get signature failed message - even after putting CWM update.zip on the SD.
No ADB - at all states, only fastboot sees the device.
RUU update gets fails either due to version 3.30.0000, signature or device.
fastboot flash - i thought i will manually flash the various parts. i get FAILED (remote: signature verify fail).
CID was HTC__K18
did a new goldcard based on the old mail i had (from 2010) with the goldcard file (thank you gmail).
but nothing seems to help.
I read a lot of forum posts and tried many things over these 3 days but i'm willing to start over, step by step, with anyone willing to assist.
Hopefully this step by step will assist me and will be a reference guide for others.

Have actually flashed hboot 1.02 yet?
Have followed ALL the instructions at htcdev?
Have you followed all the instructions sent to you via email about how to unlock the locked hboot 1.02, the email also includes a unlock.bin attached to the email which you need in order to unlock your boot loader?
If you had read ANY of the other question thread about this subject (there are a few) you would have found out that after you unlock your boot loader with hboot 1.02 you can no longer use update.zip cwm recovery, you can only use the S-OFF recovery method...
Sent from my Legend using xda app-developers app
I was expecting feeling stupid, missing something simple.
Originally, I couldn't get to step 8 since it requires that the unit didn't respond to fastboot command and while trying to find a fix, i got stuck with only fastboot and didn't remember that this was the step i was stuck in.
Anyway, your response had me go back to htcdev just to prove my point and i found that i can continue.
Finally.
Now i am unlocked and can continue with S-OFF methods.
Thank you.

Guess what, your phone is still locked, you typed it yourself, you still need to unlock it using the bin file sent to you in the email.
Don't feel stupid mate, this rooting thing can be confusing and fearsome at times. Even I had that "can't use update.zip" issue and thought my phone was f'ed till I realised I needed to flash the recovery image.

just to point out
Jelly_Bean_Extras_HomICS_2.0_Venus is not ROM
If you flashed a good ROM and your stuck in hboot, use fastboot and use the following command 'fastboot oem boot' that should force your phone to boot.

Need some help!
I decided to give this a try since it sounds like it has some potential to help get users rooted from stock configurations, or after flashing an OTA or RUU, even though I have been S-OFF via JuopunutBear for a while now. I figured I would try the rooting with an insecure boot.img first since that works for S-OFF, but got an error saying I didn't have the right boot.img installed. I had just flashed the latest Sprint ICS RUU.exe from Windows and wanted to see how this tool would work in that scenario.
So since it wanted a boot.img that I didn't have, I tried the universal exploit option but that gave me an error at the Windows level. The phone rebooted into recovery and I had to pull the battery and reboot into the stock ROM, which was fine.
I have attached screenshots of the info I got when I first started the app, the error I got when I tried to root with the exploit (I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1) and a text file containing the contents of the message in the scrollable details text box.
I'm also curious what bootloader gets flashed if that option is selected.
Please advise.
Edit: Just noticed that the version went from 1.1.10 that I downloaded yesterday to 1.1.12 today so I will reload the RUU and try that version.

With S-OFF? That's strange, since the OP says that both options work with S-OFF. Also, I couldn't find any mention of htcdev unlock in either the OP or the application when it was running.
I'm not going to htcdev unlock since my bootloader is locked after JuopunutBear and I don't want to have to deal with the ***RELOCKED*** status. I guess I could try flashing a custom bootloader after running the RUU that will allow the fastboot commands, but that can only be done by S-OFF users and by the time that's done it's probably faster to go into fastboot and flash the custom recovery, then the superuser .zip or a rooted ROM from recovery.
I'm not sure where this tool fits exactly, but it sounds like it's mostly useful for people that have done the htcdev unlock but are still S-ON and want to root more easily. If that's the case, they can run this, then boot into Android and flash a custom recovery from an app like 4EXT or Flash Image GUI without having to use fastboot for either superuser or the recovery. Is that the gist of it?
BTW, my results with version 1.1.12 are attached. I got farther this time, but it failed on the temp root.

The errors seem to be causing confusion. If everything else says okay but the Universal Exploit says Failed then this means the exploit has been patched on the stock Rom you are trying to run it on.
Also only rooting via insecure boot.img requires s-off. Universal root will work with s-on if the exploit hasn't been patched.

So in other words, this tool won't work using the "universal exploit" (in quotes because I guess it's not really universal) on the official Sprint ICS build (2.89.651.2) for the Evo 3D, which is what I flashed via RUU.exe right before running it, regardless of the S-ON or S-OFF status? Would it work with an "insecure boot.img" if we are S-OFF and if so how would we set that up?
Assuming someone wanted to root the latest Sprint GB build (2.17.651.5) for the Evo 3D, what advantages does this tool provide over flashing a custom recovery and superuser .zip file from fastboot on a PC?
I'm not trying to be negative, just want to be clear on when someone on our device would benefit from using it.

Ramjet, I have tried it too and end up where you are at. I have done the HTC unlock too.
Can someone show the step by step because I hate to presume I'm doing it right.
I have the phone set and on home screen. I run the program and fails.
I reboot the fone into the boot screen (pwr/vol dn) and select fastboot (pwr press once) then the program works and then fails at the temp thingy..
Hi guys.
I have recently developed a simple HTC Evo 3D Root Toolkit. This toolkit is very simple and easy to use, just follow onscreen instructions and in few clicks root your device. After rooting process you will get Unlocked Bootloader (S-OFF),Custom recovery (you can chose within cwm, cwm touch and twrp), Root access(SuperSU or Superuser app). I update this app very soon and if you see some bugs and things like that please send me a message. App is tested and you must accept the Disclaimer window. The website for this app will arrive very soon. I hope that this app will be very useful for you and if you like it click thanks button and spread the word about this project.

I am not responsible for any damage to your device and bricking it...
...I've been trading PMs with ShadowGaba and this toolkit is quite worth it, actually.
For an unlock no0b such as myself, I was initially cowardly. In the end, after about 12 hours of trial-and-error, it's still absolutely worth it.
Although not entirely clear, SGs toolkit did a successful job of unlocking, installing a recovery, and installing a superuser.
Some of the steps almost felt superfluous, but SG's right; for the most part, follow the directions and you'll unlock successfully.
The only snag for me was having to switch to 4ext recovery (the toolkit offers only twrp and clockworkmod; it'd be nice if 4ext was one of the choices) in order to smartflash a ROM; only because I'm still on 1.58 hboot and S-on, post-unlocking. (Many ROMS just don't flash properly because of the 1.58 hboot and S-on; besides, many posts recommended 4ext recovery in smartflash mode to properly load ROMs, anyhow.)
Although I won't be enjoying any JB ROMs until I wire-trick my way to S-off and/or downgrade my hboot, I am currently enjoying Nega-Lite's Blu-Rom 2.95.651.5 immensely, without fail.
The battery-life and the smoothness are incredibly slick and worth it to flash to from my God-awful, battery-draining, store-bought VM JB OS.
I personally think I'm resourceful enough to get through any snags in the toolkit process, but ShadowGaba was well on-hand and curious to know if I unlocked successfully.
To the fearful, I'm sure SG would help out if you're stuck.
If you're questioning whether or not to unlock, I say go for it; so many delicious ROMs for your HTC EVO 3D await your discovery.
Cheers, ShadowGaba.

Important Note
After Unlocking bootloader using this toolkit you will be able to flash custom roms, but not the custom kernels.
But, using one simple trick you can flash custom kernels:
1.Boot into recovery using fastboot or using HTC Dumlock
For any other info, stay tuned in this thread.
Flashing 4ext recovery
I was searching around and i found way to flash a 4ext recovery.
Install .apk from attachment to your device or download the app from google play.
Flash 4ext with this app.

Okay meatfest. To get S-OFF you must downgrade hboot to 1.49 and use revolutionary to gain S-OFF.
I will explain why your bootloader says Unlocked and S-ON. HTC has modified new devices HBOOT-s, in other words , they have prohibited flashing custom kernels and some roms to your and mine device. So you have couple solutions:
1.Downgrade HBOOT and gain Revolutionary S-OFF
2.Use HTC Dumlock
3.Flash 4ext recovery
4.Boot into recovery using fastboot and flash ...
Thank you for replying and asstance,
Kind regards, Gabrijel
it can root official 4.0.3

HTC Unlock does not work on my phone
Hi, I have hboot 1.58 and software 2.95 and the HTC Dev Unlock method does not work for my phone. The commands go thru but the phone never switches to the Unlock Screen. Do you know of a way to unlock without using the HTC Unlock method??

I have not found a guide that explains how to downgrade without getting S-OFF and using the HTC DEV unlock.

Use WireTrick (JoupanauntBear S-OFF)
When I run the file it says "this not a valid Win32 application"

I ran into the same issue with mine. The issue in my case it was the adb files needed to generate the code to unlock it per the HTC unlock method. The adb files I used (as I am sure you did the same) was part of some package that included it. So I decided to just download the adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030 and executed the CMD prompt from adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools. Then I followed the HTC Unlock instructions and it worked.

Do you still have this available as when clicking link said site was not available.
Thank you for your time

Okay, here's the biz. My wife's phone needs updated, and I'm not sure of the best way to do it. She's rooted and I want to keep it that way, as she needs her wifi-tether.
She's not s-off. I tried using moonshine and rumrunner to no avail, even though I had met all pre-requisites. rumrunner recommended I flashed a less-stable kernel and try it again. I'm not real interested in doing that.
I was trying to s-off so i could flash the OTAs that are on xda.
I have studied posts on here for about 4 hours now and have not come up with a solid answer.
The only things we need are root and the newest 3.17- firmware and possibly radios. Can anyone send me to the right place?
Can I just ruu the newest software?
Please. Thanks will be given.
Phone specs:
freshly ruu android 4.0.4
sense 4.1
software 2.13.651.1
s-on
bootloader unlocked
hboot 1.19.000
radio 1.12.11.0803
Check the top link in my sig. There is a link to all applicable RUU's at the bottom of the first post (I recommend reading the entire thread), including the 3.17 RUU and the newer 4.13 RUU. Running the RUU will update your software, firmware, HBOOT, etc. The RUU is probably the quickest way to get everything up to date, in my opinion. Just download whichever RUU you want to install to your computer, connect your phone to your computer while the phone is booted to the OS, double-click the RUU file and follow the on-screen instructions on your computer. You may also want to install HTC Sync to your computer, as well. After running the RUU you'll need to unlock your bootloader again, install a custom recovery and SuperSU for root access. If you want to S-off the phone once it's updated, again, check the top link in my sig for further info.

I tried using the ruu for the newest 4.XX and it wouldn't work. I guess I should just use 3.17.xxx?
NVM, I forgot to relock the bootloader before I tried the ruu.... now it's working. Thanks

Hey I'm trying to use windroid to unlock the bootloader again, but it's not recognizing the phone's status.. any help on unlocking that bloader?
Again, NVM I had to authorize the debugging on my phone.
Okay, I've ruu to the newest ota, which is 4.XX- and I have TWRP 2.7.0 but I can't figure out how to root it. I have tried flashing both of the super user files from the linked page in your sig, to no avail. I tried to flash them from twrp. Nothing. One app says it needs binaries, and the other one doesn't open. Not sure how to root at this point? I tried to push the superuser.zip files through adb shell and that didn't work either. stumped...

You need to use the TWRP from Captain's thread.

Okay, thanks, got it. Do I need a different kernel to s-off with rumrunner?
