The wait is over for The Droid Demos’ guide for how to root the HTC EVO 3D. Its simple, its straight forward, and it will help guide you down the yellow brick road of rooting. Enjoy!
A big thanks to Bentenrai and his initial thread for rooting the EVO 3D, off which I created this guide, eugene373 for the temp root solution, Team Win, UnrEVOked and AlphaRev, and anyone else that has helped make this happen.
REQUIRED DOWNLOADS
Just download, do not install or run anything yet.
This guide starts by temp rooting the phone so that we can back up our apps and all their data. If you don’t want to do this, you can skip to the Full Root Section.
Temp Root to Backup Apps
Keep your phone unplugged and restart it
Make sure that HTC Sync is not installed on your computer
Click the Start button in Windows
Type uninstall a program in the search box and hit Enter
Make sure HTC Sync does not show up in the list. If it does, uninstall it
Double click and install the HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe you just downloaded
Unzip the RW_EVO_3D file by right clicking and selecting Extract All
On your phone, go to Menu>Settings>Applications>Development and make sure USB debugging is CHECKED
On your computer, open the RW_EVO_3D folder that you just extracted and run the Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT batch file by double clicking.
Plug in your phone when you see “waiting for device” in the command prompt. It will then initiate the temporary root.
On your phone, download Titanium Backup from the Android Market and open it.
Hit the Menu button on your phone and select Batch.
Under the Backup section, click “RUN” for Backup all user apps
Full Root Section
This is the full root section for those that don’t care about backing up their apps.
Clear Traces of Past Temp Root
Clear all traces of the temporary root
On your phone, go to Menu>Settings>SD & phone storage
Select Factory data reset
Click Reset Phone
Click Erase Everything and your phone will reboot and do the factory reset
When the phone restarts, unlock the phone and skip through the whole setup wizard
Go to Menu>Settings>Applications>Development and make USB Debugging is CHECKED
Go to the Dialer(Phone) and dial ##3282#
Select View Mode
Select Data Profile
Write down the email under “User Name” (this may get erased in the root process. If we write this down, we can just put it back in after root if the Profile Update fails)
Install Android SDK
On your computer download the Android SDK for your OS (this guide will work with Windows and Linux). This guide uses the r12 Windows Installer.
Run the exe file that you just downloaded by double clicking on it and install the Android SDK. I change the install location to C:/android-sdk
If you don’t have Java installed, click the link it gives you, download JDK Java SE 6 and select your OS (I’m on Windows 64bit). Run the file and install Java. Once complete, just hit Back on the Android SDK installer and then Next.
Install Drivers and Prepare for Root
Make sure your phone is NOT connected to the computer.
Make sure that HTC Sync is not installed on your computer (if you didn’t do the temp root section)
Click the Start button in Windows
Type uninstall a program in the search box and hit Enter
Make sure HTC Sync does not show up in the list. If it does, uninstall it
Download the HTC Driver Pack (if you didn’t do the temp root section) and install the HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe you just downloaded.
Plug in your phone to the computer. If it asks where to install drivers from, just select Install Automatically.
Go to the this PG86IMG-twrp-shooter zip file that you just downloaded and rename it “PG86IMG” with NO .zip at the end. Your computer knows its a zip file.
Put your phone into disk drive mode by dragging down the notification bar, click Charge Only and change it to Disk Drive mode.
On your computer, transfer the PG86IMG zip file to the phone. Don’t put it inside any folder, just drag it on the the Removable Disk that is your phone and wait for it to transfer.
Apply S-Off and Flash Recovery
Go to the revolutionary exploit folder that you extracted and run the “revolutionary” application file that is inside by double clicking.
It will give you your serial number. If it doesn’t this can be found under your battery on your phone or on the box your phone came in. Open up the revolutionary.io page that we left open (after downloading the exploit) and put this serial number into the Serial Number section.
Select your operating system, device, and HBOOT version (also shown in the command prompt from the revolutionary exploit that we are running).
Click Generate Key and type the key it gives you into the open command prompt and hit enter. Let it the exploit run. It may reboot a few times.
It will ask if you want to install ClockworkMod recovery. I select n for No, but you can say yes. It may crash. If it does. Just skip it. We will install a recovery now anyways.
Your phone should now be in Fastboot and say S-Off at the top. Use the Volume Down button to go down to Power Down. Click the power button on your phone to select it.
Take off the back of the phone and take out the battery for 10 seconds.
Put the battery back in, put the back on, HOLD the Volume Down button and then press and HOLD the Power Button at the same time and it will boot into HBOOT .
It will ask if you want to start update (of the PG86IMG.zip that we put on the phone). Press Volume Up for yes.
Install Superuser Permissions
When it is done, we need to delete the file. So press the Power Button to reboot the phone and let it start up. PLUG IN your phone while its booting up.
Your phone will go through Hands Free Activation. Let it do this and then press OK.
Let it do the PRL Update and press OK.
Cancel the firmware update or just wait for it to fail.
Drag down the notification bar and put your phone into disk drive mode. If it doesn’t show up, unplug your phone and plug it back in.
On your computer, delete the PG86IMG.zip from your phone.
Download this Superuser file and transfer it to the phone to the same location as the deleted PG86IMG (i.e. not inside any folder, just directly on the phone).
Power off the phone(hold the Power Button and select Power Off)
Wait for it to completely turn off. Once off hold down the Volume Down button and the Power Button to boot into HBOOT. If it doesn’t boot into HBOOT, take out the battery, put it back in, and try again.
Use the Volume Down button to go down to Recovery and select it by pressing the Power Button
Once in recovery, select Install Zip (by pressing the power button)
Select Choose Zip to Flash (by pressing the power button)
Use the Volume Down button to go down to the superuser zip file that we put on the phone and select it by pressing the Power Button.
It will install quickly. Use the Volume Down button to go down to Reboot and select it with the Power Button
You are now complete rooted with S-Off and a custom recovery. Once booted, you can login to Google, download Titanium Backup, and Restore your apps by opening TB, hitting Menu>Batch and selecting Restore all apps with data
You’re now rooted!

Good work. I would like to suggest that you post some where in the title that this root is not for hboot1.5 It took me a while to figure out i had hboot1.5 instead of the older one.
Greg

If I use My Back Up Pro to back up all data and settings will I be able to skip the temp root and titanium backup and just wipe, root, (via htc unlocker) re-install my back up pro and restore everything the way it was or will it not pick up stuff that titanium would? Thanks for the help in advance!

Hello thank you for helping me root my phone. Everything was working great until a couple days ago, and now the wifi tether is erroring. Says Disabling forward Diabling NAT rules Disabling Routing fix Stopping softap Stopping driver Tethering now stopped in the logs. I know I updated busybox and probably superuser if there was an update. I have not done my update on my phone to 1.5. Can you give me a suggestion on what is going on. It was working fine not too long ago, and I just don’t know what i did to make the tethering stop working. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you again

hey thanks for the guide. got to the part at the where I open up Titanium Backup to see if its been rooted. I never got the sequence that you got. I tired exiting like you did, refreshing the app list like you did, downloaded busybox/superuser (as i read in different comments). The Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT was loaded but won’t say that I have been granted access. Any ideas?

I would greatly appreciate if you could give me any hints or direct me to a link where I can find a batch that would work for my model
Heaps of thanks, Mujtaba

Just to add this; my Hboot version is: 1.49.0011

Hi, I tried doing the temp root and it will not allow me to gain Titanium root access after trying several times after following the instructions verbatim–Today is Sept 2 and I just got the phone a week ago. Could there be a newer version? Thanks, Nicolas
http://www.hydroponicscatalog.com Tchikovani
could there be other settings that need to be turned on or off? that are not mentioned. Cannot get the phone to temp root after several tries after following video and instructions verbatum. Thanks
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
Could you check your hboot version? Boot into hboot by holding the volume down button and the power button to power on the phone. The version will start with 1.30, 1.40, or 1.50. If it is 1.50 then it won’t work.

Thanks for the reply–yes it is 1.50. What are my options? is there a root solution for my phone? Thanks. Also may be good to post this so others know as well not to attempt.

Noted. You can use the HTC method, but some are skeptical of the reversibility/motives of the HTC method. There should be root for 1.50 soon.

Hello, when I start the revolution, the command prompt says it’s waiting for the device. My evo3d is plugged in but it doesn’t recognize it. Any help on this? Thanks

…i got an Evo 3D that has not been activated to sprint yet. Can i root it and activate it with service later or would it require cell service to ROOT? THANKS GUYS!
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
Hey Rethiz,
You do not need cell service to root, so go for it! Let us know how it goes.
rethiz
i followed the instructions exactly but wen i get to when i run the Revolutionary.exe and enter the Beta Key, it accepts and then Zerging Root, then something about lemons and then, Waiting for FastBoot, then (again), the it reboot again and it automatically says, COMMUNICATIONS WITH PHONE UNEXPECTEDLY INTERRUPTED. TRY AGAIN. and i did like 4-5 times and still, the same things pops up…im guessing u do need service or am i doing sumthing wrong?

Can you continue and see if your phone says S-Off like in the video?
Nick
is it really 100% necessary to clear the temp root by doing factory reset??
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
If you don’t want problems, then yes,unfortunately

I’ve been at this for the better part of 12 days, tried at least 30 times and each time I get to the point where I am to run the Revolutionary program I get stuck on “waiting for device”. I’m not a noob, I’ve read all the forums, watched your video and have done everything to a TEE. What is wrong and how can I fix it?
So FLI
oops… i didnt mean to post that.. but can u post a video on how to setup the custom theme that you were using?
So FLI
what ROM/THEME is that at the beginning of the Full Root Guide video?
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
Its just some custom theming using ADW Launcher. Nothing fancy

So I am attempting to root my EVO 3D and when I try to run revolutionary it says “your device: shooter, with HBOOT 1.50.000 is not supported at this time.”
What can I do from here?
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
You took the latest update for the EVO 3D, right? This won’t work for the latest update.
esco_three
is there a way I can revert back to the old version? Or do I gotta wait for the program to be updated?
Yousef Khan
Damn, it worked. Thank you so much, Brent Klauck, for the guide.
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
No problem! Glad it worked out for ya.

Note for those who disabled hide file extensions do not remove the .zip
Yousef Khan
I re-enabled it just to make sure. You can never be too safe!
Max
thanks a lot got my root again. what rom are you using? looks great
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
I wasn’t using any ROM at the time. Wasn’t rooted It was just some custom theme work with ADW Launcher.
Jeff
great review for rooting evo 3d. do you plan to post an actual review of the phone itself? How it compares to evo 4g? What makes it better and so forth?
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
Hey Jeff,
Yes I do plan on doing a review of the phone itself and hope to release that by Sunday. Make sure you sign up for our newsletter on the right to be the first to hear about it.

The Videos Your Doing And Great For Noobs Such As Myself…But Right Im Stuck At Running The Revolution Program…The Beta Key Provided To Me Keeps Coming Back As Invalid…And Ive Lost Count The Number Of Times Ive Tried…It Just Keeps Saying Invalid!!! Can You Help Me Out With This Or Lead Me In The Right Direction??? Im Clueless At This Point
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
Make sure that you are typing in all the information EXACTLY with lower and uppercase where needed.
UntouchaBLU
and thats what has me confused because thats exactly what im doing…is there anyway around using the key?
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
Unfortunately, that is the only way right now. The revolutionary site generates your key just fine?
UntouchaBLU
Well thanks R3Z…I’ll keep trying…and hopefully I’ll get it to recognize the key
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
I’ll look into that issue some more and see if I can come up with some info. I’ll report back here if I do.
UntouchaBLU
Cool Beans!
Pohhok
I have the same issue as well. I’ve tried for two days with no success. I’m stuck at his point. Any help will be much appreciated.
Nathancromer
I am stuck at this point also!! When I try to run the revolutionary it says that my device was found but not supported at this time. It says shooter, with HBOOT 1.50.0000 is not supported. It also says my device: PG86100 9shooter-1.50.000, Android: 2.3.4, ROM version; 2.08.651.2 I would really love to try again but i have a bunch of times already.. Hopefully something can get bypasses or worked out??
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
Unfortunately you’re just gonna have to wait it out :- You could use the HTC method but its iffy and a bit difficult.
Nathancromer
What is it we are waiting for?? just wondering, sorry, im very novice at this stuff.. Also, would it make sense then that the temp root will not work either??
http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)
Waiting until an exploit is found for the new hboot version. Temp root wont work either unfortunately.
Nathancromer
awesome..!! thanks so much! Can’t wait for the new hboot!!!!
Jorgehernj9
Just downgrade to 1.40 then you could do it with revolutionary
