AC posted a download link for the ota here http://forum.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?p=1019412#post1019412
Damn I need the phone. There is plenty in the ota to unlock the hotspot, and looks like libs updates and cam update too. Also....firmware update

Like an ENG SD Card???
Something like that. Look up the goldcard rooting method for kind of a better understanding.
What do ya think t? This ota gonna help or hurt? I downloaded the file and a lot going on in the zip.

What's up bro. I can't wait to get the 3d in hand and start a thread. Thinking about working on a pre-port Rom tonight.

would the following work? I remember doing something similar with the original evo 4g when 2.10 (or whatever version) hboot was "unrootable"
Do a soft root. then install (extract the zip file) flashimage. use it to flash a recovery and then use the recovery to flash a the eng hboot. or use it to flash both.
Like I said it worked for me before but it has been a while. Did they make the bootloader even more secure in the 3d?
Hope that this helps.

51I'll answer a few more questions...
1. OTA updates: The reason not to accept an OTA now is for the next stage, getting s-off. Now that HTC is aware that we have a very likely exploit to their latest generation of devices, they may push an OTA that makes getting s-off.harder.
2. Sensation: I'm pretty sure it will work on the sensation, although it may need a few minor tweaks.
3. Secrecy: The reason we're not releasing the details of the exploit yet is to prevent a forced or even optional OTA from closing the hole before we can use it for root. Without root, we can't do much to prevent OTAs.
4. Timeline: Let's be fair. It does take time to go from a hole in the kernel to root. We're working blind here. Because we have no source tree in hand, and no root, we are punching holes in the kernel in the dark. We have some tools to help, but it's still a challenge. I wouldn't expect anything released before the weekend.

Congrats and mad props to Agrabren and Team WIN for punching a hole through HTCs software and getting root! Agraben now has a thread for it so make sure you thank them for all of their hard work: [GUIDE] Fre3vo / Fre3dom Official Thread
The thread got way off track for awhile there but maybe now we can keep it close to being on topic. As long as it is somewhat related to the topic you won't hear me complain, however, this is Not the place to ask about Netflix, why your Battery doesn't last all week or how you can get out of paying a dollar a day for wireless tethering. For those of you just getting your phones, if you find that your bootloader is unlocked (read: S-OFF) please send me a PM. Also, if you're still unsure about the differences between S-OFF, and Root, and what it all means; you can check out the Android Dictionary or feel free to ask in the Q&A section. I know the dictionary there is somewhat lacking but it's still pretty good.
Now that root has been obtained we are able to focus on getting S-OFF and opening these things up for ROMs. HTC is using a new security scheme with these that hasn't made it easy so far, but as is with anything new it's going to have holes that are just waiting to be found. Using Flash_image to flash directly looks to be a dead end but there are still many different angles that are being worked on at the moment. Please jump in anytime if you have an idea that you think may help.
I have attached a few things to this bottom of this post and dragonfyre13's thread has a lot of good info that is being deposited there: Root: shaking something loose [WIP]. Odds are very good our current method of getting root won't last long so it never hurts to start looking for something new early.
If you find the file SMART_IO.CRD on your sd card please do not delete or format anything on it and let us know.
The read and writesecureflag commands show the following when you try to use them:
Code:fastboot oem readsecureflag ... INFOsecure_flag: 3 OKAY fastboot oem writesecureflag ? ... INFO shooter_init_sd, SD card already power on INFOsdcc_init_memory_device done INFO[FAT_ERROR] fat_open_file: can not find SMART_IO.CRD INFO[JAVACARD_ERR] SMART_IO.CRD cann't find INFOwritesecureflag: Permission denied, value 1 OKAY
Update 6/28: Many are wondering if the Incredible 2 being unlocked would help us and Shinzul posted a good explanation of how it relates to where we are:
Disclaimer: You and you alone are responsible for anything you do to your phone. Do not attempt anything that is in this thread, or on this site for that matter, if you do not want to risk damaging your phone.
DL link for gingerbreak is here.39
For starters, let me just say that I literally read every reply on every page of this thread.
You never know what off-the-wall idea may spur devs into finding an exploit. Creativity is to be encouraged - so thanks to everyone who contributed in some way.
SECOND, the root method is a BRAND NEW EXPLOIT that we are not going to share any details on how it works.
The next step is to work on getting s-off. The hboot is definitely nand-locked, so I can't just push the eng hboot and win.
Will keep looking.38Ok, to clarify... We've definitely found a hole. We're working to make an exploit that can take advantage of the hole. It'll take us a day or so to sift through the wreckage (as it were). By time the first attack at the hole was done, my device would only boot with /data mounted as ro and the screen wouldn't turn on. So a factory reset later, and we're sifting through the results. But this is definitely promising.34Ya'll make my job hard :\
I'm the only one moderating the forum at this time and this thread shot from 120 pages yesterday to 182 pages today.
I know we are all excited about root being achieved, but let me remind you that NOONE has offered any proof of any kind. Furthermore, even if root has been achieved I am not going to tolerate trash being dumped into this thread. So, after I clean up all the junk in the last 30 pages and re-open the thread. Do not start posting congratulations, I wanna have your baby comments, or any of that other junk.
If this gets out of hand I will take whatever steps I have to get things under control even if that means temp banning people for a day.
Regards,
Stephen
