If you took the updates you have 1.40.

You can check by booting into HBOOT (with fast boot off, power down phone-hold volume down and power until you boot into HBOOT-your version will be listed on top.)

Click on the little icon in the top left corner of the window, scroll down to edit, click on copy or paste depending on what you need.

Re: [HOW TO] Get S-OFF, Flash CWM and Root

[NOTE]RECOVERY AND ROOT

REQUIREMENTS:

S-OFF, Java SDK, HTC Drivers Installed and HTC SYNC UNINSTALLED

First make sure you have the requirements before starting.[/NOTE]

[INFO]HOW TO INSTALL RECOVERY:

Download the Recovery image:TWRP RECOVERY IMAGE


Open a command prompt and change the directory to where you have your "sdk\tools" folder installed.

For me it looks like this... C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\

Place the downloaded image file into the same directory.

Reboot phone into Bootloader. "Vol Down + Power"

Select Fastboot

Once your phone is in Fastboot mode run this command from the command prompt.

"fastboot flash recovery C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img" - WITHOUT THE QUOTATIONS.

Once it completes tell the Bootloader to Reboot phone.

TADA! Now you have a working Recovery![/INFO]

[WARN]BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE....

Reboot into Bootloader and choose Recovery.

MAKE A BACKUP!
Now you are good to go! Next is root...[/WARN]


[INFO]
PERMA-ROOT

For root you need to flash this .zip

Download here: Superuser Zip

In order to achieve root..

Download the su.zip and copy the zip file to the ROOT of your SDCARD.

Boot into Recovery

Choose "Install Zip"

Then "Choose Zip To Flash"

Then select the "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip"

Once it completes, reboot and you now have ROOT access!

I have been reading all night long trying to apply this to my phone i have reached the s-off and clockwork mod recovery. when i attempt to put the twrp-shooter-1.0.1.zip which i named to PG86IMG.ZIP i get the installation abort message. I am putting this in the tmp folder for i do not see the sd card listed on my htc evo 3d.

Did it successfully install clockwork recovery right after s-off?


If it did you don't need to install twrp.

EDIT:After reading some other threads, it has been brought up that clockwork may/does have some bugs. I will be switching to twrp in a few minutes.

You dont rename it! Thats your issue.. you are not making HBOOT update...

Thats not what to do. Please look at the steps provided and you will see there is NO renaming anything.

You cannot use twrp-shooter-1.0.1.zip as PG86IMG.zip. Its not formatted properly. The zip is just a compressed image of recovery. Its not meant for flashing. You can convert it that way but...

EDIT0: I am not sure what zip you had so I could be wrong but I placed the correct zip in the next post.
EDIT1: You dont need meta-info... I am wrong... I was thinking of flashing from recovery, not hboot.

Re: [HOW-TO] ╰╮╰╮REVOLUTIONARY╰╮╰╮ Get S-OFF, Recovery and Perm-R

Here is the PG86IMG.zip you need to flash TWRP 1.0.1 if you want to go the alternate route.

Confirmed working.

Did you skip the hands free activation?
You will need to talk to a Sprint customer service representative. They will do some stuff from their end and get you up and running. Just play dumb about why it happened.

Re: [HOW-TO] ╰╮╰╮REVOLUTIONARY╰╮╰╮ Get S-OFF, Recovery and Perm-R

Did you call Sprint yet? I know a guy this happened to and he had to call Sprint and they reset something on there side to resolve this. Happened to a few people, not just you.

Before you do that make sure you update PRL and profile.

 

[gruppe3942#AC]

Hey thanks for the reply. I card sprint and they took care of it for me.

No you dont but if it doesnt work I will point you back to changing your recovery as supported in this thread. It should work tho.

Not sure if anyone else noticed yet, but Rom Manager now has EVO3D listed correctly, and ClockworkMod Recovery v.4.0.1.5 successfully flashes. The clockwork image is also available here:
