[scotty85]

[erik917]

i am trying to root my phone . this is what it says when i try to get in hboot

Is there a PG86IMG.zip on your sd card? If so you need to remove it!!

 

[erik917]

yeah there was . i deleted it . it worked! thanks alot!

 

[Brian706]

No problem

Usually any time you use a PG86IMG.zip, you will want to remove or rename it afterward so that you don't get stuck without being to access bootloader/recovery!

thanks for the tip . do u recommend me any good roms now since i have just rooted my phone?

Here is a pretty big list: http://androidforums.com/cdma-evo-3d-all-things-root/650310-compatible-roms-different-hboots.html

I haven't tried most of them. I kinda skipped ICS and went from GB to Jellybean. If you want the jellybean roms you have to go s-off and lower your hboot.

that only details cdma roms correct? definately wouldnt want to flash one of those hboots!

im out of touch with 3d roms. i usually run stock or stockish roms on my 3d,as i hate to give up the camera and 3d function that AOSP lacks.

if theres an AOSP rom with working 3d,id be willing to give it a shot

Now I'm not sure. Forgot which section this was in using tapatalk but the picture he posted has a cdma hboot. 1.58.0000

So I guess we better clear this up... This is either in the wrong sub-forum or that picture is not one that he took of his own bootloader?

 

[scotty85]

Good catch! I didn't really look too close at the picture , since you guys had it figured out. If he has 1.58 then this probably needs moved to the CDMA section

 

[erik917]

Yeah I posted this in the wrong thread. I am on cdma not gsm. But that's I'm trying to get a jelly been rom but I saw I need to downgrade my hboot right? If so can someone help me do that?

 

[Brian706]

Well first to downgrade you need s-off. You're gonna have to do the wire trick. Probably need a live Linux dvd/usb to run the s-off software.

It's scarier than it seems. Here's a video that should give you some extra confidence:http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-h...c-evo-3d-using-wire-trick-juopunutbear-s-off/

It used to but they don't support windows anymore. If you Google ubuntu, they have instructions on their site to make a bootable dvd/usb. It's actually pretty easy. It will definitely increase your chances of success to create the bootable Linux.

Just look at it as a fun weekend project

i managed to run jpbear from an ubuntu live cd,and im prettyh linux-stupid
