UPDATE: Download it here! Best read the notes below though!
That’s right! YOUR WAIT IS OVER… ALMOST!
Yesterday, #teamwin announced they had found the exploit that will break our EVO 3Ds and HTC Sensations free and rooted – all without the unlocked bootloader by HTC. Today, just a few minutes ago, #teamwin member @Agrabren had announced within the hour Fre3vo, a method by which the HTC EVO 3D and HTC can be rooted with, will be available to the public. This comes less than 24 hours after they announced to have found an exploit in the EVO 3D’s system, forwarding it to HTC for repair.
We have been told it will be a TEMPORARY Root. This means that using adb you can give yourself temp root until restart, and #teamwin is hard at work to get this to advance to be compatible with superuser, Titanium Backup, etc. The release is aimed at devs who can use it to try to get their own solutions and help speed up the process.
Here are the facts from #teamwin’s agrabren himself:
1. Users will need adb to make this work.
2. It works on all known HTC EVO 3D versions, and has been verified on a current HTC Sensation.
3. It gives temporary root to adb shells. This is a stepping stone only.
4. We are hard at work for both s-off as well as the ability to use Superuser.apk and busybox
HOW TO ROOT (Courtest RootofallEVO)
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’
