I ran the Revolutionary tool, installed the TWRP file and then flashed the su zip file. After restarting my phone, it went therough the activation process again, then checked PRL and firmware updates just like when I first activated. All my settings and downloads were still in place, I just thought it was strange and wanted to let everyone know my experience. Donations are on the way.

Haven't done the recovery yet, I have s-off but it doesn't appear to be rooted, did I miss something? I've tried running some root only programs and they all say no root. was I supposed to uninstall or reinstall SU?

I have tried to enter in the beta key oh about 20 time but it keeps saying invalid press almost and key to abort anyone else having this problem ?

I had the same issue. Could be a lower case L or 1 or capital I. What I did was copy and pasted the beta key into notepad. It will show you exactly what the letter or number should be....easier to read. ;)

So, SetCPU seems to work, it gets root access fine, of course, still need to push the module until the Evo3D is officially supported.

but Titanium Backup isn't seeing that it's rooted. any thoughts?

EDIT: Root explorer and Wireless tether gain root fine as well.

Ok I got s off, went through handcent activation. Everything went well. However, it said failed to download CWM recovery. Its all booted up now, but how do I get root. I tried to download su from market, but that didnt do the trick.

PLEASE!!!!

read this before you brick your device. It will only take 5 mins of your time. THIS DOES NOT INSTALL ROOT only s-off and it is permanent on the 3vo and sensation. Root can be downloaded from the link, as well as instructions/

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary

also, please read the op.

thanks and hope this helps some of you

I am s-off, rooted, and have a working recovery that is nandroiding my phone as we speak!

    Hey guys Just wanted to give a quick TUT to the Noobs...


    THIS IS THE BETA VERSION I DID NOT CREATE IT ALL CREDIT GOES TO TEAM Revolutionary...
    I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENES TO YOUR PHONE...


    1.)Go to http://revolutionary.io/ select your operating system...
    2.) once downloaded apply for a beta key (this is needed!!)
    3.) Boot into you phone like normal and go to Settings>Applications>Development>And check USB Debugging...Make sure your phone is on charge only.
    4.) Extract the downloaded ZIP to a folder (DONT RUN IT FROM THE ZIP) and run the file "revolutionary"
    5.) It will ask you for a beta key (you should he gotten from the site) enter it and hit enter.
    6.) It will get you S-Off and root.

    OPTIONAL FLASH TWRP

    1.) Download TWRP from their thread.
    2.) Plug in you phone to your pc and make sure you have fastboot drivers and your phone is in fastboot mode
    2* to put your phone is fastboot mode remove the battery>put it in and hold down volume down and powerbutton>once in bootloader use the volume rockers to go to fastboot> hit the power button...done!
    3.) Once you have your usb plugged in and the .img downloaded open CMD
    4.) Navigate to your sdk/tools path not your platform-tools/ (since thats where fastboot is)
    5.) (make sure the recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img is in the sdk/tools/ folder) Type in
    Code:
    fastboot flash_image recovery recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img

    Your command should look like this

    Code:
    C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\abe\Desktop\recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img
    just change
    Code:
     C:\Users\abe\Desktop\recovery-twrp-shooter-
    1.0.0.img


    (drag and drop the file into the cmd window to choose its position and walllah!!)

    Rooting Proccess...


    1.) Download this file http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
    2.) Put the downloaded file on your sdcard
    3.) Boot to TWRP
    4.) Hit install a .ZIP
    5.) Choose the file and BOOM you got root :)
    Hits thanks if that helped!! PCE GUYS IM GOING TO COOK UP SOME ROMS

    If you get error while flashing use this file

    E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
    (Status 0)
    A.just reflash it and the error will go away on its own

    If your phone wont turn on you probably dont have your fastboot drivers installed. Do that first


    AS for amon RA recovery that hasent been built for the shooter yet. If you want cmw just keep running the revolutionary application and it will ask if you want it to flash CMW

    When I did that it just came up with a list of commands

    you paste that command and drag the file into the cmd window so it tells cmd where the file is

    Hey thanks worked perfectly with me, and I was even able to install clockworkmod. I made a little video for people who like to see visually how to root their device.
