Ok I just bought this evolution 3d from somebody then I went into the hboot to see the version. And at the top it says looked in a hot pink picture. I will post a pic in a min. Please any info would help.
So what the question??

That just means the bootloader is locked so you can't flash updates or write to /system. Every Evo 3D ships locked.
The only way to unlock it is by using revolutionary, or for HBOOT 1.50, the HTC tool which doesn't give you a full unlock. Generally, if you don't know what it means if it is locked, you don't need to unlock it.
No I know what it means I've been on a rooted evo. Just the hot pink hboot threw me off.

Can I use this phone on bell network. I have rooted and have s-off. Am I missing some step? I get network locked when I put the bell sim in. And it asks for a pin. Do I have to use a custom rom?

Not sure if it is possible with the 3vo, but you need to sim unlock it.

IF U Unlock it. then relock it.it will change to Relocked....no way to get it to Locked @NOW
I may have a way if your prepared to try it as something strange happened to mine using HTC supertool

Don't know if it'll work across carriers, but I used revolutionary for s-off and bootloader unlock then renamed and flashed a zip from one of these threads. Bootloader changed back to locked, didn't say relocked.

That's because you used rev to s off

In theory, could he use rev, to unlock again then relock via pb**img.zip? (Cant remember) to get the bootloader back to locked?

I agree..
But anyway, back on topic.
The phone came LOCKED.
once you Unlock it, you can only RELOCK it.
There's no way to completely lock it again unless you use a goofy method or you send it back to HTC for a complete flash.
I would love to know what that goofy method is so my insurance claims don't get denied.

Insurance can't get denied because of it. However, warranty can be denied but the chances of Sprint actually checking on this are very slim.
Basically, send it to Sprint for warranty if it isn't an actual insurance claim.

I haven't heard of anyone fixing that part yet.. Just a line of text maybe some code that would need to be screwed with but noone has fixed it yet.

what he said. you're not going to have any problems by having s off. by putting s on, all you are going to end up doing is shooting yourself in the foot if you want to change it later
I apriciate your advices. But would like to know how to do it, if i ever need to do it. Also i can always s-off later back right? I'm new to Evo 3D so want to know my options...

ill trade you and s-on fone
I am pretty sure if you s-on and you upgrade to the hboot 1.5 you are screwed. I have 1.5 and there is no way for me to get s-off. I would just stay s-off dude. you are going to screw yourself.
If your phone shipped s-off then you shouldn't have any problems, even if you have to take your phone into Sprint for repair.
If you're on 1.50 there's no way to get S-OFF at this time. But if you REALLY wanted to I guess you could just flash the current RUU to revert to S-ON.
My phone was shiped s-off. Thought it was strange, but if there is now problem about it then i'll leave it like it was...

Got a replacement evo from Sprint after the earpiece went out on my original. I am trying to downgrade the hboot from 1.5 to 1.4 following unknownforce's guide. I have tried the 2.17 ruu he links to as well as about 3 or 4 others found through google. The problem is they all appear to be loading and then the phone just goes right back to fastboot without ever giving me the option to install the update. Very frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Delete, same issue in another post.

That because your flashing the wrong PG86IMG file makes sure your getting it from a good sorce and stick to xda only you could end up bricking your EVO and also are you GSM or CDMA

aight so my bootloader is unlocked im rooted and i have a recovery on my lte.. when i reboot the phone it reboots comes on and when that white htc screen comes on its says HTC when under that in small letters its says this build is for development purposes?? some isshh like that... does anybody else's lte say that??? or just mine???
Everyone's its ok its just cause of unlock
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Anyone who unlocks their bootloader will say this. I have seen in other post (the Splashscreens post) that even with custom splashscreens it still shows this and they suspect (maybe confirmed) it is in the HBoot that shows it so they don't know if they'll be able to rid of it or not...
aight cool thats what i was thinking.. just never saw it on my og evo 4g or my evo 3d before.. so i was like wtf!!?? thanks for getin back fellas
