#teamwin isn't part of unrevoked, although we work together. Due to this, and some other undisclosed reasons, HTC will be disclosed on this exploit.

To clarify: Fre3dom is on track. Fre3vo^2 is also on track. Just saying that we're telling HTC about the bug that gives us temp-root.

Agrabren, is Fre3dom, aka S-OFF, in a good progress? I mean, have you found a way to make it work and give us S-OFF?
I think I know where this is going
Can s-off come out and play? You run but you can't hide
What will this achieve? Wouldn't it hurt the cause? Or am I not reading this right?
It won't hurt the cause, as long as you don't accept any updates HTC make to fix it
Apparently this is a pretty major security flaw, so NEEDS to be fixed.
Mods Please Delete if I am out of line on this. Just trying to help others w/temp root.
When I ran OP process I was showing root(# symbol in ADB shell) but like you was having SU and other SU apps not seeing root.SU kept saying su binary out of date. Not sure why this was happening I had uninstalled SU and restarted adb and phone but still SU would not see root(after root process). I hope I am not out of line here but there is another thread made by J.eremy that made a script that is menu driven and it worked to bring me temp root. I'm not sure if I was missing some step but with the other script(still uses fre3vo)I had success. Restored some data with My back pro. Hope this helps.

I think the exploit has to do with adbd. As far as what exactly is being done I'm not sure.

It would be nice if HTC could show the appreciation you guys deserve by providing S-OFF/perm to you seeing as you're helping them with their security flaws.
just sayin

I need some clarificaton.
If HTC is told about the specific "flaw". Won't they fix it?
so
If people buy a new phone, won't it be factory "fixed", then it can't be rooted?
If there is a flaw that "NEEDS to be fixed", can the flaw be fixed after root?
If not, should we root?
Won't we all have phones open to attack?
Are you suggesting getting HTC to fix the flaw and open up the phone(unlock it), in cooperation?
Is there any way to permanently root and patch the flaw?

When you root your phone with any method, you are exposing your phone to 'attack'. The exploit they found allows us a temporary root right now through an adb shell. As it is, our phones are still S-ON and system isn't writeable without losing root. I honestly think these sort of questions probably shouldn't be asked considering the secrecy needed for keeping root, and the fact that TeamWin has already talked about the implications of this exploit. Bottom line: Let TeamWin handle it.

you mean they are s-on bud
also i agree let the devs do their work. not to mention im sure HTC has people on here to get the "hacks" and **** to patch their OTA's up lol if not they are stupid.
you mean they are s-on bud
lol yeah, I am pretty tired right now, thx for correcting me
From everything I've read (user comments and from official posts by TeamWin) this exploit only works for Evo 3D and Sensation. Evo 4G support is still unannounced. I would check the Evo 4G forums or the teamw.in website for any future plans for it.

188[GUIDE] Fre3vo / Fre3dom Official Thread (Discontinued)
#teamwin is proud to announce the Fre3vo tool for the HTC EVO 3D and Sensation!
What is Fre3vo: Fre3vo is a temp-root acquiring tool, allowing users access to a root shell on their HTC EVO 3D and Sensation devices.
What is Fre3dom: Fre3dom was the name of the tool being developed to enable S-OFF on the EVO 3D and Sensation. This has been abandon since AlphaRevX has announced on twitter that they've had the devices open for weeks now.
Fre3vo can be downloaded here: http://tinyw.in/1lJ
Prereqs:
1. You must be able to push files via adb to your device.
2. You must know what a shell is.
Instructions:
1. Download the fre3vo zip
2. Unzip the fre3vo binary
3. Push the binary via 'adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp'
4. Change the permissions via 'adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo'
5. Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo'
If all goes well, you'll be kicked back to your computer's command prompt. (Some may get more messages, but it seems the Sensation buffers the stderr more than the EVO 3D)
run 'adb shell' and you should have a '#' prompt instead of '%'.
This is temporary root. A reboot will clobber it. There are many threads with scripts for doing what the community has dubbed "perma-temp root", which lets you run all your root-based apps.
