The first version of Fre3vo, the temp-root delivery tool for HTC EVO 3D and HTC Sensation is NOW LIVE!
http://tinyw.in/1lI
Prereqs:
1. You must be able to push files via adb to your device.
2. You must know what a shell is.
Instructions:
1. Download the fre3vo binary
2. Push the binary via 'adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp'
3. Change the permissions via 'adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo'
4. Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo'
If all goes well, you'll be told that adbd has been killed.
run 'adb shell' and you should have a '#' prompt instead of '%'.
This is temporary root. A reboot will clobber it. Also realize that the system partition is nand-protected (at least on the EVO 3D) so writes won't stick for long, and there will be issues getting tools like Titanium Backup to work. We are still developing upon this huge stepping stone. We look forward to hearing methods other developers have found to build temp root to either make the device better, or gain perm root even.
This *IS* a work in progress.
