EVO 3D Temp Root
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. The Root of all EVO • View topic - Fre3vo released in the wild! Credit goes to agrabren and teamwin. I'm just reposting this for others.

Re: EVO 3D Temp Root
Thanks Jay for the heads up.....Here is some expanded instructions:
First, you will need to download & install the E3D drivers. Next, Download & extract Android SDK, I extracted to C:\SDK Then, copy the fre3vo file to the sdk\tools folders (where ever u installed it...ie...c:\sdk\tools) Here is a copy of the commands as I did it: Quote:

Re: EVO 3D Temp Root
Thanks for the write up, probably still going to wait until full root is obtained since the phone goes back after a reboot. Shouldn't be to long now with temp root out.

Anyways, I have followed these instructions I think pretty well. I get to the folder for sdk tools, but it is not recognizing the adb command. I need additional help. I have decided I will wait for permanent root because I will probably ruin something, but I need to ace this adb. The sdk install was extremely confusing. I don't remember so much work for the other phones installing sdk. It wants me to install all types of add-ons and things. Any help is appreciated. I'm sorry I'm such a noob. |

Re: EVO 3D Temp Root
the sdk is confusing, i just found the adb drivers somewhere else(MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service) and unzipped them to sdk/tools folder and when on with omj directions and it worked

Re: EVO 3D Temp Root
yes, I recall sdk being initially confusing. Haus @ XDA put together a script that makes it alot easier. You dont need sdk, it already has adb, but you still need the E3D drivers. This will add Superuser also.
Extract the attached script somewhere on your pc.....ie....c:\adb (I copied to c:\sdk\tools2) open a cmd prompt, cd to that folder, and type fre3vo Thanks goes out to Haus for the script! |
