Rooted my wife's 3d Evo no problem. My 3D claims 'unlock token check successful', but the screen on my phone doesn't ask if I want to unlock bootloader. I have the plum. Anyone know of any known issues? What could I have done wrong?

3d is fine, just suffers a lack of development in certain places

After searching the web, I've found alot of ppl with the same problem. Why would HTC show you how to root the phone only to block it later?

Wait...What!!?? They locked the 3D down again?

Yeah I'm pissed, my wife's phone rooted fine, but mine with the same specs won't. hboot 1.50, 2.08.651.2

ETA: After some more investigating it appears that I may have a European model of the phone, which may not be on the list at HTCDev yet. Just goes to show you never can tell where a phone is coming from once on Ebay.

[mildlydisturbed]

can you use the GSM HBOOT downgrade tool?

I have a sprint phone. Hopefully HTC dev can figure this out.

Whether or no it's a Sprint phone has nothing to do with it, if it's actually a European phone then it is a GSM phone & you can probably use the HBOOT downgrade tool that mildlydisturbed linked for you.

This sounds like it would be worth a shot, keeping in mind that once rooted a GSM E3D will probably require different ROMs & kernels, etc.

yeah, if it's EU/GSM you'd be looking at some different ROMs... they have about half of the CDMA ROMs, but they have all the big ones

Thanks guys, I'll give it a try
