hey guys im trying to find some info on this, i had a friend that just bought and evo3d and since i rooted his ogevo before he wants me to rooted but he has the 2.3.4 hboot 1.5 and im looking around and i have all the info to rooted with htc method but right when i was about to start somebody send me a message he thought he saw something on xda on how to downgrade the hboot so we can use revolutionary so if thats true and somebody has a link or info on it i would appreciate it if not is cool ill guess ill try htc method but ill wait for a little to see if thats true, thanx
Don't think it's possible. I searched for this as well. Your best option is to use the prompt / adb option to get what you want on your phone having 1.5 if you have unlocked your hboot through HTC as I did before realizing there were alternative options.
I do have infected Eternity 1.4.2 on my phone and loving it. Just added the infected Anthrax kernel and it's awesome stuff.
E3D's with the 1.49 hboot are able to downgrade but I don't believe anyone has been able to with the 1.50 hboot yet
thanx guys but no i havent even started yet so i havent unlocked anything so u guys recommend using to start off with the htc method?
Unfortunately the HTC method is the only way atm, it's not s-off but as a last resort it's better than nothing. I think they may still honor your warranty as long as your rooting it wasn't the cause of the problem and you return everything to stock before taking it in
iight guys thanx for all the info

I have to admit that I'm a little confused. I'm just about to meet a guy to trade my current phone for the 3D.
Some of the things I'm reading lead me to believe that unlocking with the HTC method, rooting,etc will NOT let me run ICS once it's released.
If I get a phone on 1.50 today and unlock and then root using the posted methods, does that keep me from being able to run ICS ever?
If no, why wouldn't I want to use the HTC method?
As an aside, will wi-fi tether work with 4G if I run wifi tether?
Please help!
Thans
You will be ok. If your cell comes with 1.5 you can still root using htc method and you will be able to have ics and will be able to tether as well.

The method for flashing ROMs with the hboot 1.50 is that you flash it differently (through fastboot) though there are many guides out now that make it even more simpler. Anyway, the guides out now make rooting and flashing a piece of cake so don't worry.
1.50 S-ON = no worries, one more step, all good
Thanks Guys. I'm freaked out but am going to give it a try. After having a Photon and an Epic Touch, I'm so glad I have my 3D back, even on 1.50 bootloader. I missed this phone.
unlock coming soon
hboot 1.5 will be unlocked soon. and all is good with having s on unlock from htc. just another step!
Idk I'm not getting my hopes up on the new 1.5 hb unlock. You can flash roms in recovery the kernel won't flash tho. Fortunately this is android so there's an app for that.

like the title says... is it done yet? been looking and looking for solutions to that question. i'm already rooted using the htc method. but still looking for a way to get s-off.
check the 3D general section, there are a few threads on it with varying info.
short answer though - no
There has been some effort made towards this front, with little success. Whether you think it's a smoke screen, or not, evil devnull, and his team, attempted this around thanksgiving, and couldn't come up with anything. Not sure if revolutionary is quietly working on something, or if they are waiting for the ICS update, or if they are just done with bootloader unlocking, period (I'm not bashing those guys, but they have been eerily quiet since the bootloader changed to 1.5).
The unlocked, non carrier branded GSM guys have found a way to revert back to an eariler bootloader, using the HTC unlock method, and then performing a similar method to what the thunderbolt/evo shift 4g guys did to allow the Hboot to accept a RUU with an earlier hboot.
I think this doesn't get much attention, because the HTC unlock method allows you can do almost everything you could if you had S-OFF. The only thing missing is being able to flash radios.
At this point it wouldn't make sense for devs to come up with a solution now. Not with ICS around the corner
is there a temp root for hboot 1.5?

whats ics?
The only reason why i ask is because, ##data# or what ever it is, i found my midi number using an app in market place, but when i tried to adjust my volume. it doesnt want to work. i was wondering if me having s-on and rooted is affecting it in any way.
Ics is ice cream sandwich new android OS hopefully coming to the EVO 3d early 2012.

Hey, I have a friend who unlocked his EVO 3D , he says 4G isn't working. He used HTCDev method. He was running android 2.3.4 . The reason I even want to unlock is to fix the Shutdown issues . from everything I've read its a problem with the software. If Unlock removes WiMax is there a new way that I can gain s-off ? With 2.3.4 or any downgrade way? I'm sorry for asking these noobish questions, just got my Shooter this Saturday and my last Android what the Speedy(EVO Shift) and when I rooted it was in Froyo so I never ran into this "Unlock" issue. Well if you could help me or leave a link to a similar thread where they answered my question that would be great. I've literally looked for 4 hours last night looking for rooting and unlocking processes and they all don't say that it locks Wimax. oh and quick question. 3vo will be getting ICS the end of April right? Just need confirmation or at least a link. Everybody says "Soon" . And that isn't helping.

Unlocking doesnot do anything to WiMax.Which Software version do you have? 2.08 or 2.17 ?
If you want to downgrade, there is a thread stickied in the CDMA dev section.
Help?

Software version is 2.17. Then how come Htcdev unlock method locks up Wimax? Is there another unlock method? Can i downgrade back to gingerbread 2.3.3? If memory serves . GB 2.3.3 doesnt have locked hboot and all that you needed was to
use Revolutionary. Am I right? Sorry for so many questions. I just want to know as much information regarding gaining S-off on the Shooter. and can you leave a link?

Just a quick search could have saved your time...
Here is a guide to downgrade hboot 1.5 to 1.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547695
After that you will be on 2.3.3 and can get S-OFF via revolutionary.io
Then you can upgrade to 2.17 (not directly or the hboot will again be 1.5) with a different method.
Ok, thanks a lot for the information

Hi all I am currently using a ics Rom with hboot 1.5 s on my goal is to be able to flash these roms with out using chads fix which helped me a lot thanks chad but it looks like the kernel won't be updated to fix breaks. So I have gone thru forums and have seen downgrading to 1.4 s off. My question is this if I downgrade will I loose the flash I have for metro pcs? And is it nessasary to downgrade to accomplish what I would like to achieve having ics without the breaks. Thank you all for the help.
sorry
Hi again sorry didn't say. I have a HTC EVO 3d cdma
Some roms have built in support for metro (like nocturnal ics), so you could downgrade and then flash one of those.
Or you could do a nandroid of your current setup and restore it after the downgrade process.

Before you attempt to downgrade, please write down all MetroPCS radio/PRI/PRL, etc info. Someone asked a similar question somewhere else about Boost. I believe he warned everyone that it will erase and you need all the info to restore his Boost (MOST LIKELY metroPCS) service.
You can also take a screen shot of the settings as well.

Thanks for the help
Ok Thank you all for your help but let me ask this there's this (wire trick) I hear there's a lot of success and I hear that some fail. If I did choose to use this method would it too remove flashed metro info? And does it have to be h-boot 1.4 s.off to flash the i.c.s roms or can I use 1.5 h-boot s.off? I'm still pretty new to this but starting to get the hang reading what a lot of great people are posting.

From my reading, it seems either is ok. I still would suggest 1.4 s-off as that's what I have and it is solid for me. Roms flash with no trouble and I get no bootloops. But the 1.5 s-off method is easier so maybe someone with 1.5 s-off can report their success rate (ease of flashing roms, stability, etc).

I think that's actually the thread where someone warned about his Boost info getting wiped, I could be wrong.
After s-off is achieved, hboot is sorta irrelevant. You can always flash a new hboot. I'm on eng hboot 1.04.
I upgraded my hboot from 1.4 to 1.58 and my Evo 3d reverted back to sprint, I had to pay again to flash it back to metropcs.
The same happened when I flashed a jelly bean rom. Tried 3 times different roms with no success. I've spent enough money already to buy a 4G LTE.

So as the subject suggest I'm trying to install cool ics rom on my evo 3d cdma hboot 1.58 with a custom recovery rooted with s-off however it installs rather fast restarts and gets hung up at the green HTC logo. I'm sure someone else has had this problem so if someone could point me in the right direction i'd be forever greatful or if anyone has some rom recommendations that are really heavy on performance that would be great too. Im trying to use my evo for gaming. Ive had experience flashing roms before but when something goes wrong like this, I'm clueless.
Im on revo 1.40 s off hboot, and i also have bootloop on coolsens...
I though that i dont have supported hboot for ics kernel like coolexe said on 1st page of his forum. But if you on 1.58 hboot and still bootlooping maybe the answear is firmware... Im not sure but you can try... :thumbup:

Since you're already S-off, why don't you try this link to downgrade hboot : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
Also, check your firmware if updated.
