I've looked through the forums and such for an answer. But no answer is as simple as I need it to be.
Recently, I tried to root my device. I used fastboot and unlocked my boot menu or whatever it's called.
After all of this, it seems to run just fine, except it can't connect to the mobile network at all.
On any forum thread given, it says to flash the PH file or check the S-off and other things, and to be honest, I have no idea what these are. I just need a simple "do this and do that" help walkthrough.
What I want is to return the HTC Rezound to it's out-of-box state. Basically factory recovery. Please put it as simple as you can.
A bit of extra information is: I tried to root when my phone had the OST update installed, and forgot to check about it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Making a major change to your device and not understanding the process is how you break things. You should read through and understand what you are going to attempt before starting.
You did put the cover back on?
Again, the most OBVIOUS fix is, have you put the battery cover back on the phone? Mostly when people first see this problem is that they leave the back off.when performing the root method, forgetting that the antennas are on the battery door.

Yes the cover is on the back of the device. I was watching a video playlist on YouTube that I followed and his turned out fine but mine just had to have the update I guess...how could I fix this?
Hard to tell you what to fix because we don't know what you actually did?
What steps were you using, what did you do?

Idk
I'm not sure what I did , but I reset it's factory image and it seems to be as if it just came out of the box.
Now before I go about rooting it I'll make sure to make a backup image,
learn a bit more about what's going on,
talk to some of my dev buddies,
Try again, carefully.

Backup Image?? If you don't have root, you cant do that.
You are not making a lot of sense as to what steps you actually took?
Did you unlock the bootloader yet?

Hello,
As the Title says im going to attempt to root my Evo 3d this weekend. Well, I have never rooted anything and I have to admit im nervous, excited and in some places very confused while understanding other stuff. Ive tried to read, read read and read some more for the last couple weeks. BUT like I said some things I still kinda lost on. Any of you experienced folks with rooting have any great tips or suggestions? What are all the basics as far as apps and such are a must have? What are preferred? Eventually Id love to get into learning more about Android and be part of the dev world in some way. I am computer literate have a business that does computers and IT now. Just never done any of this with Phones. Ive searched all over XDA and some other sites for as much info.. But maybe im just nervous and unsure as I would hate to brick my Phone but... well you know the desire to do this and learn is really big. My last Android device a HTC hero I left stock. Wish now I would have rooted it. But either way here i am now.
Again Thank you for any help and guidance. Sorry about being so new to this.
Im eager to learn.

We got a root virgin. It's not as hard as people make it. You could temp root, install titanium backup, and backup all of your user apps but that isnt necessary. Just root your phone using revolutionary(threads and guides in the development section). Then you can install a recovery and flash a rom and get down to business. The easiest guide is right here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192525
I do have Titanium Back up Pro, As well as My back up pro...
I have read the guides on this procedure as well as the Noob beginner stuff about rooting.
Im getting ready to do Temp root then use one of the back up programs (probably Titanium Pro) and do a back up. I assume you just back it up to your SD card and are able to reload from there.
It seems like rooting has some in general things in common but also each device has their own little ways of things.
And Yes... I am a Virgin Root. Lol

Yes each device does have their own little differences, like while i was rooting my nexus s, i got the easy way out. Someone had made a 1 click root for me so I didn't have to do anything.
But yes, do make sure you backup everything using Titanium Backup Pro (noone told me this while i was rooting and I had to install 150+ apps all over again ).
For me, this thread by forum member 'WillJitsu' was most helpful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192868
He made youtube walk through videos that were very clear. It's pretty easy but if you are nervous, just watch them a few times and I'm sure you'll get a good idea of the process.
After S-Off, some had 'error 16' messages when trying to dial or text. It happened to me as well. As you might of read, just let the phone connect to Sprint and the representative will fix it on their end. Or just call the activations line and tell them you got a 'error 16' and can't dial, they'll fix it for you. If clockwork recovery fails for you like it did for me, 'WillJitsu' also posted a video for the TeamWin recovery install.
The only problem I had was during the '.zip' name change. On my computer running Windows 7, the file name doesn't show the '.zip' at the end so when I was changing it as instructed, I got errors (since I didn't know, I was accidentally making into a '.zip.zip' thus it never worked). Other than that, it was very simple to do.
Hope it helps and good luck!
Thanks for the replies so far. Any other quirks or things I need to know ? I totally wanna do this. I think tonight I will do temp root do a titanium backup and read some more and check out the videos. Do a factory reset after the temp root then go after the full perm root. Is there any way to avoid the error 16 and customer service call or is it a random issue?
I'm also curious. Let's say I want to return the phone back to stock and unroot it ? Can I and how? Also what's a good ROM for me to start with? Anything to avoid?
Sorry for all the noob questions. I totally apreciate the help and advice.
Sent from my EVO 3d
just read the instructions and follow them step by step and you will be fine
happy flashing!
You should just do the Revolutionary method, no need to temp root anymore. IIRC there were some that had problems since they started with temp root and attempted to do Revolutionary (best to search on this to confirm and see what kind of resolution they took).
Not sure if the Sprint call centers are open on the weekends so probably do it on Monday during their normal business hours.
For the Error 16, don't worry about calling in, they fix it quickly after you answer some account security questions to confirm that you are the actual owner of the account. If you search, someone posted how to do this without calling in but honestly I can't remember if it worked or not plus you might need your msl number.
To revert back to S-On, here's the post by 'rtbluver':
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053
I've never done the S-On so I can't comment on it.
Whole bunch of ROM's in the Developer section, best to click on them and see what they offer. It really depends on what you want in a ROM.
Good luck, enjoy your 3D!
Thanks all..
Well HiredGUN.45 , I didnt get to read your post before hand but I did do the Temp root. From what I read about doing perma root after doing Temp root is you need to do a factory reset. I assume after doing that I can load my back up from Titanium Pro and it will return it all as it was before temp root? Or do I need to do something different?
And I wont be doing Perma Root Til Monday in case I need to call in for the Error 16 issue.
Heres a question as I dont know......
When Rooting a Phone does it keep all the same functions? I noticed there was a flash/rom for the Radio in the phone. Why would you need to flash that? I still want to make sure I can Text, Call, Use 3 and 4g as well as my other features.

yes, you still keep all the features...just read each rom, pretty sure all roms have everything working but every now and then you may get a bug like we did with the og evo like 4g wouldn't work or hdmi etc...however they would eventually all get fixed due to the great devs we have here.
The reception of your phone depends on a combination of many different things, including your radio. Flashing a new radio will change the performance of your wireless signal, maybe for the better, maybe for the worse...
I would only flash a radio if I were you if a Rom Developer had specific instructions to do so.
First root your phone with revolutionary. Everything will still remain the same as if nothing happened. When your phone boots back up, let it go through the handsfree activation. This should help you avoid the error 16 message. If not try to make a call and let sprint fix the issue, and of course don't mention root. Everything after the actual root process is a step by step learning type of thing. Email me and ill be glad to help you get started with all the benefits of rooting, or if you need help or questions with the actual revolutionary process I can help out as well.

My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! -Security Off-
Ok I did the Temp root. Used Titanium Back up ( I also use another good back up program that works with bot root and non rooted phones My back up pro) But I did get successful Temp root. I went ahead and made back ups. Then did a factory restore. Wiped both the Phone and SD card. Now I have something different going on. I use a Blueant Blue Toorh head piece. It talks and reports things to you. But before all this When I powered on the Head piece. It would say " Powering up" Followed by "Your Phone is Connected" Then Followed by saying "HTC EVO 3D"
Now it says ALL of that EXCEPT.... When it gets to wher it says the manufacture and name of the phone... It says "PG 86 thousand One hundred" And yes I know thats the Model number of the Phone. But what happened to the HTC Evo 3D call out?
Either way Tomorrow at some point in time Im gonna do Perm root.

After you root and activate and verify that everything is working on your rooted stock rom, I'd recommend that you do a nandroid backup before you start flashing other roms. That way, you'll always be able to find your way back to where you were right after rooting in case things go south. Be sure to check the box next to "wimax" and verify that they get backed up with everything else. Should be around 12MB of data in a folder at the backup location on your SD card. Wouldn't hurt to keep a couple full backups.
The ability to nandoid backup is the main reason I root my androids.

You do this VIA your recovery menu under 'nandroid'. I just rooted mine today and had a couple stumbling blocks that weren't outlined in the root guide and I can see pplnew to this banging their heads out of frustration.feel free to pm me if you run into any issues. You may run into an issue with adb not seeing your device,and your bootloader not seeing your recovery.zip both had me stumped for a while but the fixes were really easy.

If you did what i just highlighted then you basically temp rooted for nothing. From my limited understanding, temp rooting is just to get a Titanium backup of the stock phone in case anything happens. But if you wiped the phone AND the SD card then you erased any backup you made.
Ok, you know, today I got my phone, I had been waiting forever, I got it and within 2 hours I screwed it up. I have followed and followed many forums and posts on how to fix this, and I am just.. lost. So please i need your help, I am seriously stressing out, and I know I shouldnt, but this is my first android phone. I am shot right now.
I had unlocked the bootloader, and then I tried to root it, then it rebooted and went into bootloop mode or whatever it is.
I still cannot figure out how to use this Hasoons2000's OX+ AIO kit. So I am just leaving it alone.
Ok the PC doesn't recognize it as a storage device, but the fastboot does recognize it, as I have executed a few commands, like reboot or something, just to test that it works.
My phone is ATT but I am in Russia so there is no sending this anywheres. All I want to do is reboot the OS and have it work again, I dont care what mod or stock rom it is, I just really need some direction here.
I know something about RUU, ATT RUU, Fastboot, some other stuff, I have like 5 pages on XDA pulled up and I cant figure this out.
What is the CMW or TWRP or whatever it is called? How do I flash a zip or an img to the phone? I really just want my phone on again.
Yes Ive done stupid noob stuff, but you learn. So please I am kindly asking for any assistance,
No need to stress. Its fairly hard to brick your phone, good way to learn quick also is to screw with it.
Just need the right guide and I think this will help you since u have fastboot access hopefully. Its a pain rebuiling so read everything so u only have to do it once.

thank you very much I really appreciate your help. I finally figured out the ruu.exe thing, I didnt know they had to be the same numbers, ex 1.15.xxx.xx or whatever.
You see what happened originally was that I unlocked the bootloader, easy pie, but I tried to root it and that is when it started looping. Maybe I didnt understand something, but I seemed to have messed up right there.
Is there really any reason to root? I mean yeah there is super user, but doesnt bootloader help with that a bit? I know BL is for flashing custom roms and all.
May I ask how to flash a custom rom? I really want all of this ATT stuff off of my phone, I really dislike it.
Yes I know I can search, here, google etc. And maybe I should, but I end up getting so many different results, and here and there, and this and that. It really is just easier to talk to one single person who knows what they are doing. So if you could help me, I would again extend my appreciation.
Also I have the android revolution for ox+, and I dont know if it is.. you know.. THE BEST or not. Dont know what to do.
And yes, you live and learn, took me forever with iphones, then I realized hacking and roms and stuff were completely different from iphone. So new game new story.
Hello there people!
As you all know every Android user finally goes for the thing called "Rooting" so yes I'm an beginner over it and read alot of discussions but still couldn't find Convincing discussion so I need complete procedure about the Stock ROM and how to back it up in order to Step backward towards it just in case if something strange happens. YES I'll flash a Custom ROM so i'll take the guide as well.
THANKYOU.
Hi there. One thing you will find out about quickly, is that many methods to modify your phone are very specific. Not only to what manufacturer, but what model, what update it is on, if it was purchased from a carrier or unbranded and unlocked, and whether or not there are any warranty issues to consider. Most of the time you can return the device to exactly as your received it and sometimes there is something that is triggered that can not be reset that will show you've modified the phone. So, let us know what you have and we can get you pointed in the right direction to get started.

This guide has everything you need to root and to use the ClockworkMod recovery which will allow you to make a full backup of your current system (these backups are called Nandroids)
I haven't had a chance to look around to see if there are any roms for it yet, but that guide should be a good head start. I would recommend reading through the thread first to make sure there won't be any surprises.

I'm just guessing this is a case of autocorrect, and you mean "custom ROM" and not "art room"?
How did the custom ROM get on your phone, did you buy it that way or did someone do it for you?
The update won't install with a custom ROM, its true (at least if any system files have been altered, which is usually the case). Also, it won't install with a custom recovery. Might even send you into a bootloop and render the phone unusable.
If you want to return to a stock condition and get the update, you can either read up and learn, or run the RUU to return to stock (bootloader must be locked or you need S-off). In either case, we can help you, but need specifics on how you want to approach it.

I have no idea what im doing lol, im following a tut to install revolution hd rom and so far everything is working perfect lets see what happens after system reboot.
Can I unroot and relock bootloader after custom rom install done ?
Update: restoring old content phone seems faster with better signal, but before custom rom it had 4g signal now seems only 3g
Now that sucks boomsound enable/disbale in settings is gone!
So is extreme power saving gone from status bar
also 4g signal
Signal will not show 4g or 4glte like AT&T [email protected] [email protected]
You could relock and unroot,but then no reason to flash a custom rom.
Those two settings are in settings. And on the m8 443 euro builds some are reporting lesser [email protected]
There are AT&T ROM's available that are tailored to us AT&T/GSM networks

This is the exact reason I highly discourage following step-by-step tutorials; and/or using toolkits. You are modding the phone with apparently very little understanding of what you are actually doing. Not only is this very risky, as it might result in damage to you phone. But it also leaves you completely unequipped to handle any problems.
My suggestion is to spend a few hours reading the basic information that the folks here have taken the time to compile. This isn't "techie" stuff, this is the basic information and concepts that should be understood before doing any modding of the phone. Quite simply IMO if you don't understand the basics, you have no business rooting/modding the phone.

Again, you need to learn and research more before doing anything. This is another perfect example. Factory reset doesn't do anything to the ROM. All it does is wipe the user data partition, and isn't going to help your case in any way. And trying to make up your own solutions is not a good idea (but at least you thought to ask before trying it).
If the intent is to simply be on the latest 2.23 stock software, just run the RUU. You will need to relock the bootloader before RUU if you are s-on. Also, back up any personal data, as user data will be wiped by RUU.

Not enough info. What exactly does the error say?
S-on or S-off. Did you relock the bootloader?
Any response if you type (using adb):
adb devices
Improper HTC/ADB drivers or using Microsoft USB 3.0 drivers on USB 3 port on Windows 8.x instead of Intel USB drivers would be my first two guess. The ladder of the two issues would be most likely scenario if RUU communicates with device while booted into Android OS but fails to connect when the device is in fastboot/boot loader mode.

remove your google accounts from the phone reboot
You can follow this guide to successfully unlock your phone.
Hope this helps you.
Did you ?
Hey !
Did you succeed unlock FRP ?
I have the same problem to be able to flash a stock recovery...
I have no access to the Stock Custom and I'm not able to remove any google Account (my Phone has no rom).
If you did something for this, please keep me inform
And excuse my language : I'm french.
Cheers
Did some searching around and found this thread.

The information is here:
tohc1 said:
To answer my own problem/ for anyone else having problems it is necessary to remove the factory reset protection (frp) to do this you need to remove all pin/password/fingerprint locks, then remove all google accounts and finally do a factory reset.
Then the usual adb/fastboot commands work fine.
As linux33it says the bootloader can be unlocked without the option in the developer options.

While this works for some - it failed to work for me. Maybe because I didn't enable a little option on the screen about allowing OEM unlock. Maybe. But I (stupidly?) ended up where I was sent in this external guide.
http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/...our-honor-5x-official-and-unofficial-methods/
Basically went to this site and used their tool (cost me USD$16) to wipe the FRP.
https://www.dc-unlocker.com
Maybe if you enable the option about the OEM unlock in Developer Mode this isn't necessary..........
Hopefully this helps someone. So to outline - let me show what I did - including errors.
Wipe the phone / factory reset.
Reboot and ensure everything is removed. Factory reset again.
Tried the commands - got error.
Did search for FRP unlock and found site.
Followed instructions on site which led me to download DC Unlocker and pay for their FRP unlock.
Reboot and setup phone (with no accounts or password or fingerprints).
Enabled "OEM UNLOCK" in developer options (which I didn't see before.........)
Run commands (they all now work).
Bootloader unlocked successfully.
Device factory resets.
Setup device again skipping accounts/password/fingerprints.
Follow instructions for flashing TWRP and finishing up.
Complete.
Again - hopefully this helps someone.

Explain please? What I'm putting forward is some information for persons that may not be as mobile tech inclined. Or persons over-eager like myself (actually bricked the phone and brought it back from boot-loop). While some information may be common knowledge for persons who do this often (or devs), persons just getting into it may make mistakes. Don't want them to do stuff and end up bricking the device.

Even newbies can do it right. Provided that they strictly follow the steps.

I agree. But I don't recall seeing anything in the original instructions about the FRP which shows / states ensuring OEM unlock is checked. Unless I missed it. I DO recall seeing it somewhere else in another thread where someone mentioned it. But I still don't know if the case is enabling it means you don't need to use the DC Unlocker program.

you dont need dc unlocker, unless you have not checked "oem unlock" option in dev. options..(thats also only case if you were on lollipop)
and if you are on mm, you dont even need to check that option,
Thanks for that info. Next one I get my hands on will try that out and see.

I had basically bricked it and brought it back. Think the one I got had some issues, because I couldn't update it at all. Even before rooting it wouldn't update. Then I realized that when the update was running it rebooted into TWRP - so I flashed back the stock recovery and tried again. No luck. This was done with disabling OEM unlock as well and still nothing. So I got an UPDATE.APP as well as a nandroid that I believe was supposed to be able to update the phone. None worked.
khat17 said:
It's a little bit of both. Those are the steps I followed to get root access. However, I don't recall seeing anything about the FRP in any of the previous guides.
As for my specific issue, I can't update regardless of what I try. After de-bricking the device I got it to this stage. I'll upload the screenshots shortly.
*EDIT*
So this is my phone now. Partly upgraded it seems. The device is now at B331 instead of B151, but still on EMUI 3.0
And what I want to point out is - after enabling DEVELOPER MODE - ensure you check the OEM UNLOCK option.
Because I can't confirm at this point if doing that will prevent having to pay for the FRP unlock.

But now that you've confirmed that there's no need to pay for the bootloader unlock, I would go ahead and do some experimenting if you suggest. For science. But I'm a little reluctant to try and re-lock the bootloader and then unlock it again. If you can confirm or even partly guarantee that it works however, I'll do some messing around with it. For science. Otherwise, I've managed to get the device to a working state now - wouldn't want to mess with it much.. Only if I can try something else to get EMUI 4 on it.

I live outside of the country of purchase. Doubt I can send it back now anyways. And I got it working so it's fine.
I like it better than the BLU and the Samsung I had. FAR easier to root. Even with the issues I had.

Hi all. I'd like to put forward some suggestions to be placed in the first post. I literally paid cash to learn and figure some stuff out. Even if you're good at following instructions or partially experienced in these things, when you're eager to get it done or impatient (like me) you find the fastest route.
Here are some links in case someone wants to just go through the whole thing themselves.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/unlock-frp-t3444584#post69917735
So here's what happened. I got the phone and was very eager to just get my stuff on it right away. Rooting is the first thing I wanted to do and looked that up to get it done. Made a mistake in the process and ended up paying cash to learn. Hopefully others will read this and not suffer the same fate.
What I Did (Including Mistakes)
Wipe the phone / factory reset.
Reboot and ensure everything is removed. Factory reset again.
Tried the commands - got error about FRP protection.
Did search for FRP unlock and found site.
Followed instructions on site which led me to download DC Unlocker and pay for their FRP unlock.
Reboot and setup phone (with no accounts or password or fingerprints).
Enabled "OEM UNLOCK" in developer options (which I didn't see/enable before.........)
Run commands (they all now work).
Bootloader unlocked successfully.
Device factory resets.
Setup device again skipping accounts/password/fingerprints.
Follow instructions for flashing TWRP and finishing up.
Complete.
Some other things to ensure you note - if you're migrating from any Samsung device, don't do restore of Samsung stuff like XPOSED to the Huawei. And don't just arbitrarily do a restore from Titanium either. Select only the apps you want to use, or do the longer process of getting them from Google then restoring the data after.
Something else I noticed on my KIW-L24 is that I can't update. At all. I tried using different methods including the UPDATE.APP file for the phone, but it just gets stuck in a boot-loop. Currently going to load the B151 UPDATE.APP and see if I can de-brick it. Will edit and update the thread.
*EDIT1*
And just my luck. Didn't work. So stuck in a boot-loop. Working on it and will update when done or I give up.
*EDIT2*
So during the boot-loop I held VOL-DOWN+PWR and it went to a FASTBOOT+RECOVERY option. From there I flashed TWRP back to it and the system is now up and working. So lesson learned there. No idea why my own won't go to 6 though. Don't mind 5, but wanted to go up to 6..............still - better to have it working than not working. So happy there.

Yeah. So after TWRP was flashed, I did a restore from a backup I found online. And that's how I managed to get it up. The restore was for 151 not 331.
