I will report.
But on your blog on your last screenshot I saw *LOCKED* S-OFFed Hboot 1.47 do you need to unlock it?
if you want to flash recoveries, kernels, etc... yes
i locked it for a completely unknown reason. i was working on the phone today (changing ROMs), and updated the recovery so i unlocked it...
Doesn't work. It types something like "founding device","fastboot detected" and later just shows some seconds "1-45,2-45,..." So yeah don't found deviceseems about right.
try and report back here so i can add it to the guide if it worked

8Index:
1st post: Root the HTC EVO 3D
2nd post: S-OFF and completely unlock the EVO 3D
Rooting the HTC EVO 3D
For the completely unfamiliar users, here's the real deal:
Prerequisites:
Unlock the Bootloader:
Flash a custom recovery:► After setting it all up, pick up your EVO 3D, go to settings, development options, and turn on USB Debugging.
► Open up a cmd on PC, and type this:
►► This will make the phone reboot to bootloader.Code:adb reboot bootloader
► After it has booted, hit the power button to go to fastboot (don't press and hold, just press a small click)
► If you see FASTBOOT at the top, and not FASTBOOT USB, click the volume buttons to go up and down so that the screen refreshes into FASTBOOT USB at the top... if that makes any sense
► Type this into the cmd:
►► This will give you a bunch of numbers, i can't explain this better than HTCDevs themselves, so go exactly HERE and follow their guide (you need to be signed in to their website to be able to view the instructions)Code:fastboot oem get_identifier_token
► So after you hit submit and get the unlock_code.bin do this:
►► Again.. HERE is the HTC guide, but in short: after executing this command, use the volume buttons to select yes, and press the power button to select it.Code:fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
►► I cannot stress this enough... THE ABOVE STEP WILL WIPE ALL OF YOUR DATA!!!... Should i make this a size 7? you won't like it.
R00T!
► You're now in fastboot, highlight bootloader and press the power button
►► You should wait a bit for the unlocked bootloader to make its scans
► Select recovery from there and press the power button to boot to it
► Remember the SuperSU zip file we downloaded earlier? We need to put that on the phone's sdcard. Two ways:
1) Take out the sdcard from the phone, plug it in the PC, and put the zip there
2) Toggle USB storage (for 4EXT) or mount USB storage (for CWM) while plugged in to the PC to access the sdcard from there and put the zip there
► Now hit back till you get to the first menu
► Select install zip from sdcard
► Choose zip from sdcard
► Look for the SuperSu zip file and select it, then hit yes
►► After flashing, comes the REALLY hard part:
► Hit back to the first menu
► Select reboot system now (VERY hard! )
You're rooted!2
Here you can find the latest 4ext. Flash it and you can install every rom. Root is not required because all custom roms are pre-rooted.
Code:fastboot flash recovery 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC1.img
Sent from my Evo 3D1Why another guide? Well... I didn't find any guide that really helped me understand what i should do to update from ICS to JB or KK or whatever... So i started doing things by myself, i did it with23 HTC Evo 3Ds and both worked fine at the end, so i started writing this guide... have fun! Thread also available at rirozizo.blogspot.com (WITH PICTURES!)
Scenario: You're on ICS, latest update, latest bootloader. You're either on stock ROM, or custom ROM. Your bootloader is locked or unlocked. You're S-ON.
Solution: S-OFF your bootloader, downgrade it, get ICS+ ROMs (like JB or KK)
Time to do the process: I did it in 1 Hour 15 Minutes
Requirements: Linux OS (either native, dual booted (ME!), or LiveCD... You pick), HTC Evo 3D, USB Cable (with data transfer support), an internet connection for the downloads, an microSD, and wire.
WARNING: It is important to backup all the contents that are on your microSD before doing anything. I did the wire trick on two Evo 3Ds, and one of them corrupted the microSD, so we had to format it.
Now let's start.
►In Linux, download adb and fastboot using "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb" and "sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot".
►Download THIS flashable root .zip file (don't extract that... please)
►Download juopunutbear's (Call that "juo" ) wire trick script HERE and extract it. (pick the appropriate .tgz file for your device)
►Download a ROM to your liking (ICS, JB, KK, Froyo... you can do anything after this guide )
►Transfer both the ROM and the root to your phone... keep juo on PC
►Go to unlimited.io and learn how to do the wire trick there.
►Download THIS PG86IMG.zip file, DON'T DO ANYTHING TO IT!
Note: To flash on Rogers, you can just mod the model ID from PG8630000 to PG8631000 in the zip file, so sometimes you should DO something
Backup if you need to
Get to stock rooted (Skip if you're already on stock)
If you're on a custom ROM, you'll need to flash stock... not just any stock... but RUU stock.
I'm on stock ROM... now what?
ROOT DAT STOCK! (Optional, but i did it just in case)
►►So now we need to root the stock ROM we have.
►►To root, we need to unlock bootloader first.
►Go to htcdev.com and follow the guide there to unlock your bootloader
►Once that's done, download THIS recovery and flash in fastboot it using "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img"
►Once that's done, hit "BOOTLOADER" in the list (using the power button), wait for about 5 seconds, then hit "RECOVERY"
►►You're now in CWM recovery.
►►Now that you're inside the recovery, volume up is up, volume down is down, power is enter
►Go to install zip from sdcard
►Choose zip from sdcard
►Locate the root .zip file we transfered earlier
►Hit the "yes" button hidden between these "no no no" buttons
►►You might want to repeat the flashing process if it gives an error... Second time is guaranteed to work
►►You're now rooted.
►"***Go back***" to the first menu, and "reboot system now".
S-OFF
►Once booted, go to settings, developer options, and enable USB debugging there
►Then in linux, navigate to where we extracted juo's zip, and open a terminal there
►Type these commands "chmod 755 ControlBear" and hit enter
►The type "./ControlBear" and hit enter
►►Now it'll guide you through... it keeps saying "beer beer"... yeah... the dev likes to have fun, like me
►When it says "Do the wire trick now" do it (using unlimited.io's guide).
IMPORTANT: If the script errors out with a "Still sober" error... just redo the script, it'll succeed then...
FINALLY, YOU ARE S-OFFed... too much caps huh? oh well... It was a long process... you can start feel the sense of accomplishment there.
Downgrade to BL 1.49
Well? What are you waiting for? Go flash a Kitkat ROM! GO!!
NOTE: You might wanna get 4EXT recovery to be able to flash kitkat ROMs, good luck!1
Yep, but if someone is already on stock, he could skip the ruu step.
Also it's not necessary to root the stock rom when you want to flash a custom rom that is already rooted.
I did the steps as follows (in short):
- unlock bootloader (the htcdev method)
- do the wire trick (controlbear)
- flash the juopunutbear hboot in fastboot (1.49.9999)
- flash the recovery image in fastboot (latest 4ext)
- flsh any custom rom
Starting point on both phones was stock ics locked, s-on, hboot 1.53.0007
Don't get me wrong, I only wanted to help to get your guide a little leaner.
