Root [CDMA] Unable to Install SuperUser.

[LyleVertigo]

Hello, I've been trying for days to root my HTC EVO 3D. I successfully unlocked it and flashed a custom recovery (4EXT 1.0.0.5 R7). However, when I try to flash SuperUser 3.1.3 I get the Aborted error. I've downloaded the SU zip from all sources I can find and all end up with the same error, so it can't be a bad flash.

I also tried Revolutionary 4.0.1.4 w/ SuperUser 2.3.6.3 but the exact same results.

My phone is a Sprint CDMA 2.9+ software, 4.0.1 android and 1.58HBOOT

Currently is unlocked with S-ON

Here is a picture for more clarification.

I edited the name of the file as someone mentioned in another post that the original names could cause this. Did not help though.

Finally, a clue. It appears that the SU zips are not corrupted when I download them, however when the recovery tries to flash them, it is then they become corrupted.

At first, one would think that it may be a bad recovery, but keep in mind I've tried Revolutionary before EXT4 and the problem was still occuring.

What could be causing the zips to become corrupt upon flashing? It can't be flashing in general, because it has been able to flash both recoveries just fine.

With the help from another forum I was able to discover that the SD card was corrupted. After a format I was able to flash the SU and did S-Off wire trick without a hitch.
