error on htc
Is anyone else getting this error when submitting the identifier token:
Error Code: 173.
Error Reason: Check Rule Fail with exception.
I've tried a few times - with same error each time. My H-Boot version is 1.49.0018
Having searched it seems a few people on other HTC phones/forums are getting same message this evening, so I wonder if its an issue on the HTC developer site ?

I don't know why I couldn't use this method but I used revolutionary and it worked fine. S-off'd and rooted.
By the way, with this method what do we missed from not being S-OFF though rooted?

Another Thing, I managed to do a workaround with the Evo 3D Bug regarding CWM 5.0.2.0, seeing as its not in here, I might as well share it.
[1] When phone is turned off and you tried to Charge(LED Light turns on for a Moment and Dies) -> Can't Turn On
- what I observed is that if you connect the USB Cable and wait for a few seconds, MTP USB Driver will try installing itself(which at most times failed for me, using Win7 Ultimate). wait for it finish and just remove the Cable from Phone (You will hear the USB Eject Sound). Turn On the Phone normally.
NOTE: I read somewhere(sorry i forgot where) that in this state wherein MTP USB Drivers are installed successfully, you can do "adb reboot bootloader". I can't confirm this because mine always failed at installing the drivers, the above work for me.
[2]100% Working method(atleast for Me).
- BE AWARE if fastboot is turned on or off at all times, this is where the core of the problem is. I observed that when fastboot is enabled and you tried charging, you will get the bug(Battery Pull or do #1).
If this info was posted somewhere else(I tried searching but didn't find anything :S), let me know, I won't take credit, but I really hope this helps, hopefully the next CWM for Evo3D will be fixed

1. i got gsm model evo 3d in europe and when i go for unlock bootloaders (htc-dev site) i find 3 versions of evos 3d there (emea, rogers, sprint). whitch one i chose there coz my operator is telenor europe (i used their gsm card, but phone as phone is simfree) , and is there any difference? (sry for my horrible english)
2. what is button combination for recovery? on other android devices i used is vol up + home button + power but here phone just turn on (and this one do it rely fast).
3. how do i enter in bootloader mode?
this 3 answers i rely need to do anything here. i am sory for this bothering you but anyway i am not new in android, just new in htc. hope i will find some help here

1. Choose EMEA
2 & 3. Vol down and power, you can get to bootloader and recovery from there. Be sure to turn off fastboot from power.

Hi akac89, welcome to Evo 3D.
Hope this help
1. Choose EMEA, if not working then you can choose "Other Devices" as well.
2. To enter recovery mode, you need to turn off, make sure your USB cable is not connected (because it will reboot when you press vol - & power button), press vol - first (don't let go), and then press power button until the bootloader screen turn on. To access recovery, select "recovery" in the bootloader mode (not fastboot mode) and you should be able to access recovery.
3. Answer in no.2 above, press vol- button and then power button.

hello guys, i'm new to android an i have same questions. Before i unlock/root i want to backup my data and i i'm wodering if i can use Titanium Backup (or any other app). In this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1218193 (tutorial from The Droid Demos) it is posible to do a temp unlock/root to backup data, but it's not for HTC EVO 3D GSM.
thx guys
thx guys
Sorry about the negativity, probarbly my own fault - this works only for phones with 1.49.0011 or below right? this method made my evo 3d (1.49.0018) caught up in a endless boot loop (I can see the HTC logo for 15-20 seconds, then it restarts over and over)
I used CWM v4.0.1.4 to install custom ROM after the htcdev method, and installing "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed" ... I feel I've tried evrything and can't get mye phone back on. Sooooo mutch pain for misunderstanding the > symbol
I can get to hboot/fastboot (USB) and into the revolutionary cwmtool
anyone think they can lead me on to something good here?
Now I'm stuck with an old SE- W880i PLEASE HELP ME!

57Is simply straight forward. I have to create new thread bcoz i can see many frens asking about this in various thread.
Unlock (HTC Method may void warranty, i dont care) + CWM = Can flash any custom rom
[1] register @ htcdev [dot] com
[2] just follow on-screen instruction until successfully boot with unlocked bootloader
now the important part : (u can use4EXT Recovery Touch (the best. recommended) or Revolutionary custom CWM recovery image)
[3a] 4EXT Recovery Touch (THE BEST) See HERE for more info.
[3b] Revolutionary CWM
(i) download Revolutionary shutteru CWM recovery from here
(ii) reboot device in bootloader mode > fastboot > plug in usb cable until u see FASTBOOT USB on device screen
(iii) now in adb type : fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img
(iv) Done.
[4] To root stock rom,
(i) download Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and copy to sdcard
(ii) reboot to recovery mode
(iii) select install zip frm sdcard > choose zip frm sdcard > select zip file as in (i) step above > proceed to flash.
Now device is Bootloader Unlocked + CWM recovery + S-ON & ready to flash custom rom.4
Per JoeyKrim (my summary),
HTC Unlocked with S-On. The /boot partition is only accessible with "write" access from the android os or from the fastboot mode. This prevents ANY recovery from having write access to the /boot partition.
By entering your recovery (CWM or TWRP) VIA fastboot boot command prompt, you allow the recovery to have full access to the /boot partition where you can flash full roms with kernels, flash just kernels, restore & make backups, etc, just as you would normally from recovery.
The 2 things you can't do with HTC Unlocked/S-On is to manually flash radios and boot logos (splash screen). You have to relock and flash the full stock RUU to update those, then unlock and reroot.
There are workarounds to using fastboot command prompt such as FlashImageGUI, TWRP Recovery w/HTC DumLock, & more recently 4ext Recovery w/smartflash (which run from android os), but you should be comfortable with fastboot first and if you screw something up with these workarounds, you'll have to use fastboot to fix it anyway.3
How Do I Know If My Device Is S-ON Or S-OFF?
That is easy to verify. Simply boot into HBOOT on your device (Volume + Dwn) with fastboot off, and the text on top will show the flag status as either S-OFF or S-ON. A full root generally means S-OFF.
S-OFF – What And Why?
In their devices, HTC have installed a sort of security check whose level is determined by S-OFF/S-ON. Essentially, this security level is a flag stored on the device’s radio that checks signature images for any firmware before it is allowed to be written to system memory. This hinders using any custom ROMs, splash images, recovery etc., and also restricts access to the NAND flash memory. However, when security level is set to S-OFF, the signature check is bypassed, allowing a user to upload custom firmware images, unsigned boot, recovery, splash and HBOOT images, as well as official firmware that has been modified, this enabling maximum customization of your HTC Android device.
Furthermore, S-OFF also reduces restrictions on accessing the NAND flash memory on the device, allowing all partitions (including /system) to be mounted in write mode while the operating system is booted.2
before you flash the rom:
open the zip file you download and copy boot.img file to your sdk tool and flash it using adb/cmd
after that you can normally flash the rom using CWM recovery..hope this can help you without stuck at htc logo.
