A good bricking DO NOT DO THIS: ^^)

That would be a lock up or hang or a non stop reboot... A solid brick from what I have seen happen to folks is in the middle of a flash using a Ruu they pulled the usb cord out in the middle of it and phone wouldn't turn on was dead..

This method may work for folks to gain S-OFF

Which is a good start... Just be careful with it because if you do brick I don't think you will save it

Hope you guys have a good weekend

Nice lol.. The evo 3D is a good phone.. I would just be happy with no 3D and one 8mp cam like the OG EVO

Evo 3D ViperROM v.2.5 downgraded HBoot 1.5 to 1.4

Never Hacked a phone before. Never used linux before. Took me 8 hours to do but i did it. The hard part was trouble shooting the 2.17 ruu. zip. I couldn't get it to take. I don't know where i finnaly found a zip that would take. Then my heart skiped a beat when my phone wouldn't turn durrning the linux part. I ended up switching usb ports at some point and the linux system crashed and next thing I knew I had my red led light back. After that I got the hang of everything.

Thanks for knowledge.

where did you find the zip?

goblaze1 · #18 (**permalink**) 03-23-2012, 03:05 PM

I found it on one of the Evo sites. I tried over 10 zip files to get the first part done. I kept track for a while but i just started downloading every zip i could. sorry couldn't help. I couldn't figure out how to extract the damm 2.17 ruu exe.

anyone else have that problem with the 2.17 ruu?

the ruu.exe is ran from your computer the pc86img.zip goes on the root of your SDcard

Just did this last night. The Live CD over at XDA is a good compliment. It took me about 10 tries to get the timing right on the brick and then went threw the linux part on Live CD. Revolutionary worked for me first time. I now have Hboot 1.4 and s-off! POW!
