read this there are Hboot drivers for windows make sure you have HTC sync uninstalled.

Anyways make sure your Hboot is one of the latest 2.16 i think is the latest.

What Hboot do you have? Your phone CDMA also?

Are you talking about the HTC EVO? Not the Evo design? Nor the EVO 3D

Also make sure there isn't any PC36IMG.ZIP on your phone. Prior to root.


Your talking about a EVO CDMA not a EVO 3D right...

You need a computer as far as I know and use http://revolutionary.io/ This works like a champ.

Depends on the hboot. Revolutionary works with hboot 1.3 and 1.4. For hboot 1.5 the safest is with the HTC unlock method.

To figure out what hboot you have power down your phone and pull the battery for a few seconds to clear the fastboot. The press and hold vol. Down + power button which will boot into the bootloader and will tell you what hboot you have.

For hboot 1.5

Don't donwload that file unless your on the HTC EVO CDMA and know what HBOOT you are using the latest is 2.16 i think.

If your on the EVO 3D you will need to root HTC method if your hboot is 1.5.

2.18 is the latest and can't be unlocked

This is the EVO 3D section.

You have an EVO 4g.

This is a better direction for you. Any questions you have should be answered here.

Edit:
Everything is on the first post. You may have to switch to it.

Also check out cyanogen mod 7, with 4g support (wish we had it) now the ROM
Is the ****
