Hi everyone new member here. I j got a replacement EVO 3D a couple of months ago and it has HBOOT 1.30. Can this phone be rooted if so what is the recommened method. I don't want to do any OTA update now. Thanks in advance.
 
Yes it can, and simply follow this process, make sure you do not take any OTA updates, or you will loose that HBoot and rooting will be more complicated.

I am having trouble installing the HTCDriver3.0.0.007 on my 32-bit window xp PC. I click Run and nothing happens. When I conntect my phone to the PC before it is reconized. Do I need the Driver?
 
And, for the love of all things rooting, never ever take an OTA. You'll lose your precious HBOOT 1.3 :p
 
Ok I ran into a problem. I tried to flash a couple of different ROMs and both keep getting stuck boot screen. I have been searching around and will try to redowload and try again. If any suggestions they are welcome. Thanks!
 
Ok, I have it working. Just had to do factory reset. User the Synergy ROM and it's awesome. I didn't know the phone was that fast!
 
Ah yes, some ROMs require you delete the /data partition (sometimes called factory reset). Not always required, but Synergy is one. I'd suggest you invest in a backup app like Titanium Backup or Mybackup Pro. It makes restoring your phone from a data wipe relatively easy.
