***Please note this is for Evo 3d cdma (shooter)***

Three simple parts follow the process and win.
1)HTCdev unlock 2)Flash Recovery 3) Juopunutbear S-off

--If your usuing a custom rom Please flash stock ROM and continue to step 3)

HTCdev unlock
************************************************** *************


-Make sure usb debugging is enabled
-Make sure to uncheck fastboot box from settings
-Make sure you have latest HTC drivers installed
-Make sure battery is FULLY charged

**Start phone in fastboot (power and volume down same time hold) Connect usb should say fastbootusb **

1.) You will need to download file rootevo3dnew (created a file with same name and extract all files from the zip into the new folder)
rootevo3dnew.zip

2.) Open Command promp navigate to your newly saved rootevo3dnew folder.
**ex cd C:\Users\you\Desktop\rootevo3dnew<enter>**

3.) in command shell type **fastboot eom get_identifier_token<enter>**
**note right click mark then click drag all of itt <<<start here >>><<<end here>>> included.. right click again to copy**

**note open a notepad and paste.You will need to take out the space starting at the left of each line and recopy**

4.) Go to HTCdev.com (register then click unlock bootloader and proceed to step 10)

5.) You should receive a file named Unlock_code.bin in email copy this to the rootevo3dnew folder you created.

6.) Now in command promp ** fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin<enter>**

7.) navigate on your phone volume button up and use power yes to unlock bootloader.

8.) phone should restart

************************************************** **********

---Make sure to check off fast boot AGAIN
---USB debugging enable
---Battery Fully charged



Flashing custom recovery (I used CWM and have no problems flashing MeanROM ICS, MikVirgin ICS, or any other roms)

**Starting again from Fastbootusb**

1.) In command promt from rootevo3dnew directory type
** fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img**
-NOTE don't forget .img spell it correctly
-NOTE The newerversion of CWM 5.0.2.0 did not work for me use 4.xxx version!

2.) Go back to your phone navigate to recovery (clockworkmod should come up)
** If you didn't drop su zip on your sd card before starting this process follow these steps

2a) mounts and storages > Mount sd card at bottom (drop su.zip from rootevo3d folder onto your sd card... then select unmount and navigate back to main CWM screen.**

3.) Install zips from sd card> choose zip from sd card (Find your su.zip and click yes) reboot phone continue

************************************************** *************

Juopunutbear (these guys rock)

---Note UPDATE your SUPERUSER APP from the market to 3.07 or whatever
---Note Go into Updated superuser app and select <settings>DEFAULT GRANT
---Note Go to unlimited(dot)io and download for your phone
---Note make sure you have full battery
http://unlimited.io/.../05/shooter.jpg

1.) extract your controlbearreleaseshooterwin.zip to desktop in a same named folder.

2.) take the back off your phone then reconnect to computer

3.) You will need to creat a contact device I used a lead from a voltmeter and a paperclip with tape.. Its not that hard guys
http://i1190.photobu...0618_230510.jpg

4.) Click controlbear run follow the onscreen commands when it says its ready touch lead 1 to point 1 and tap lead 2 to point 2 breifly then again in 1.75seconds

** note I taped it then counted 1 onethousand 2 onethousand 1 one thousand 2 onethousand ** worked like a charm

5.) It will pompt you to y/n to install custom hboot (I reccomend you do)

************************************************** **************
Enjoy S-off rooted now go dl some ROMS and Kernels to SD and flash VIA CWM recovery enjoy

Edit.. I will be going over this thread this weekend as I have to go through the process again with a second evo3d. I will try and add some usefull photos and clear up anything that might not already be clear. I might also do a video on the juopunut bear I haven't decided yet we'll see howmuch time I have .

I did everything, and all went smooth, but my phone does not restart for me to continue. I have reviewed both your instructions and the instructions on HTC Dev. I get the exact same result. Any suggestions?

Could you be more specific? What part are you referring to?
