Hi Zedomax
I always review your website and have picked up on great pointers from you so thanx very much for that and want to say keep up the great work. I am going to be upgrading my Evo 4G to an EVO 3D exactly on November 1st when my upgarde kicks in. I know you probably flashed every 2.3.3/2.3.4 Custom rom for it and was wondering if you can tell me what would be the best 2.3.4 rom to flash that would be closest to the performance of chad goodmans tweaked synergy 2.3.3 rom earning 4000-4500 on quadrant. If there is a 2.3.4 rom out there using Ziggy’s kernel or any other kernel that would perform as beastly as that rom, can you tell me which? I see there are a few final stable everything working 2.3.4 roms out there with tons of tweaks like ext4/OC, etc… Thanx! ;D

Still looking for that ROM actually myself, will post on site as soon as I find one. Android Revolution HD is pretty good what I am using now though: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-custom-roms/android-revolution-hd-rom-for-rooted-htc-evo-3d-best-rom-of-the-week/

Can anyone tell me what ROM for the EVO 3s has home office? Thank you
C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending ‘unlocktoken’ (0 KB)…
OKAY [ 0.152s]
writing ‘unlocktoken’…
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [ 0.006s]
finished. total time: 0.158s
This is what I am getting when I get to loading the Unlock bin. I have everything needed to be installed. This is not my phone, its a friends and it had been updated so IDK if the new OTA had blocked this method right now. Im at a loss for whats going on. Im in Fastboot USB and get to push this but thats it, no unlock screen like in the video. Checking the file its 256 bytes so IDK why its showing (0 kb) pushed.
HBoot is still 1.50.000 and LOCKED. Any suggestions??
I am having the same issue…can someone help?
My phone has an update, 2.08.651.3. should I update or leave alone?
Sorry I have 3D

After rooting my phone and installing the Infected Eternity ROM, everything was working great…I then added ROM Manager Premium app to attempt to be able to swap roms directly from there, and it flashed recoverery, now I can’t load into recovery at all, or get it to reinstall in flashboot…any thoughts? I can still see the files for recovery in the SD Card through Astro…
how to remove ext 4 file system back to normal one on evo 3d please help .

Any word on hboot 1.50 hack or any information related to a release timeframe for revolutionary?
I am a true htc evo user…. I have rooted and unrooted plenty of phones but now with this free upgrade from a replacement lost phone i came on here to figure how to root my 3D EVO. I read the terms with the HTC 3D site and I dont feel confident with letting them know that Im unlocking. Is there another way?
I’m pretty good with computers and I get up to the command prompt and it gives me the message that it was unfound. I saved it in c directory? After looking at this it seems like there’s alot of problems should I even still do it? My hboot is 150000000 and I was following that method. evo 3d
i need help, a while back i rooted my htc evo 3d using the “new” method, and everything was working great until i tried to flash the rcmix kernel. the clockworkmod had an error trying to flash to it, since then my wifi and 4g dot work. i tryed switching to the viper rom, but the wifi and 4g error stayed. i tried flashing all the wifi fix kernels with no success. now im trying to flash to synergy. the sprint ruu doesn’t recognize my phone, so im stuck with broken wifi and 4g. help me find a solution. thanks.
im trying the htc method, my softwear # 2.08.651.2 hboot 1.50 get to :fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin,
it runs and say successful but i do not get the unlock screen on my phone. can someone help, im going nuts! i tried with usb debugging on and of, charge only and not to ask again, tried on different pc os’s always the same thing!
Hi!
I recently followed your directions to (1) root my EVO 3D and (2) install the Synergy ROM. While I was successful in doing both, for some reason that I cant figure out, my phone is unable to turn-on wifi access. I just want to go back to the beginning – as if my phone just came out of the box. I tried to see if I could do it from your video on unrooting, but it just didn’t work.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
Thanks!

HTC has some security tighten up on new phones (like mine). i had same problem as yours before. the ONLY solution: download new RUU (RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.2_Radio_0.97.10.0808_NV_SPCS_1.31_003_release_208230_signed.exe).make sure to download exactly the same what i typed ok! install it using htc sync. then do the htcdev method………violaa UNLOCK… dont forget to thank me lol (thanks xda)

Hi Zedomax -
I am having a problem with my HTC 3D evo, currently using 2.3.3 version & rooted. The phone continues to display “Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.” Will you send me some info on what I need to do to fix this.
Thx

Completed root. But I formatted SD in attempt to flash incorrect ROM. Got ANDROID REVOLUTION HSU ROM flashed but my WiFi has an error. Any suggestions? Reflash radios?
Hi, I have a problem, I did the bootloader, but now I would like to come back the phone as no bootloader, is there a way? Thank you very much.
I’m trying to root my htc 3D evo , version 2.3.4
software number 2.08.651.3
the unrevoked method did not work , I’m guessing the OTA is already blocked.
I’m not a big fan of the revo method It require alot of info sharing looks alot like carrierIQ to me
any recommendation??
Great website by the way, Thanx

Hi!
I tried to permatemp my Evo3D so I could create a wifi hotspot. I do not have internet at my house, because I’m too far from the “main” road. When I followed the steps, downloaded the links, and rand the CMD promp, every line that ran across the screen was “fail” or “failure.” I tried it twice, restarted the phone, and tried it again. Nothing happened and the phone was not “rooted.”
I’ve since restarted the phone, giving up on the idea of rooting my phone, and am now having problems I didn’t have before–I’m trying to figure out what I did wrong or what step I missed. A social networking application I use does not work anymore (well, the feed part doesn’t work–the rest does). And there were odd programs/apps installed that I had to uninstall: Terminal Emulator and SuperUser.
I have an Evo 3D, 2.3.4 Gingerbread. All the most recent updates have been installed.
I’m phone illiterate, so any help would be grateful.

Did you use the HTC unlock method? I am guessing you did if you have superuser on there. Go to this site,download the newest beta (11) http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
after you install it, you have to tweak the settings.
1) Change Devive-Profile to HTC Evo 3D
2)Check mark the boxes for MSS clamping and also Routing fix
3)Enjoy it!!!
It also lets you use 4g for the tethering if you have 4g at your place
i rebooted my phone with out turning fastboot off …now its on the htc greatings screen and wont change can some1 help
