The "Fix everything by turning your phone into an Evo 3d" thread - So lost

I wish I could offer help but I'm the opposite. I understand the concepts of obtaining S-off (my main hangup) but I subscribe to the idea that once you start messing with the hardware you're in trouble. I've rooted and rom'ed (if there is such a word) every single android device I have owned (G1, Optimus V, Triumph, HP Touchpad, EVO 3d) but never had to mess with the hardware (ala Evo 3d). Reminds me of the nintendo DS I ruined using a similar wire trick... that was a $125 mistake. I am not ruining my precious phone. heh

 

Hello mthomas79, you could start off here, and get an idea on how to root your phone http://androidforums.com/evo-v-4g-a...ing-evo-v-4g-roms-kernels-using-fastboot.html

 

For S-Off, I used these links.

It took me a good fifteen tries to get it working, but eventually it worked. Keep in mind you have to download the Virgin Mobile Evo V Control Bear and you also have to run it as administrator, otherwise it cannot run Daemon on the ports and you can't think about doing anything with your phone.

Also keep in mind you'll have to use Welcome to HTCdev in order to re unlock it, assuming you're unable to install a new Bootloader straight through Control Bear.

Don't even consider going through Closeone or Unknownforce's tutorials, it's for the Sprint 3VO only and you'll just waste time trying to get back to stock. TRUST ME on this one.
