jumpnjoeyz · #1 (**permalink**) 09-08-2011, 02:55 PM

I just purchased a new Evo 3D yesterday and the store employee downloaded all the ota updates. I have bootloader 1.5 and it says locked. The root method available in the forum wont work. Device is not supported. Any other ideas or do I just have to wait till there is support for this.

You have to use HTC's method to unlock the phone. It's explained in detail in several threads on xda. I'll post a relevant one below

I will just wait patiently for a 1 click or simpler root process. This phone has been the only phone I don't mind not rooting yet. It's awesome no matter what. Of course, I can't wait for wifi tethering but for now easy tether will do.

I used this method but it effed my phone completely up when I tried updating the pri/radio. Had to go into bootloader then usb fast boot and unroot and use the HTC RUU to get it back to working order.

How did you unroot from this method...I seem to be stuck with it.

at the end of the HTC instructions for root on their site there is an ADB command. I couldn't run the RUU until I did that.

fastboot oem lock

^this was it. If successful your bootloader screen will read relocked instead of unlocked or something to that effect.
