hI guys this is what I done.
1. Root with HTC supertool v3
2. checked bootloader still said 1.49.0018
3. downloaded the correct RUU from here for my device Europe.
4. Ran the RUU and it allowed installed the lower version
5. completed and booted into Hboot, which is now 1.49.007
6. rerooted with HTC supertool
7 And unlocked bootloader with rev tool no relock note if you want to relock bootloader.
8. Ran RUU again went into bootloader now says locked.
9. Checked OTA updates found it
10. Installed update now back to 1.49.0018 LOCKED, but by the looks of it you will be permantly s-off, unless the next update puts it back to s-on.

How did you manage that
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
I followed all the tutorials to downgrade hboot to 0007, revolutionary s-off method, installed recovery and rooted.
Then i downloaded the original rru for hboot 0007 then flashed that over the top, still left with s off and unlocked but no root, it then said there was an 48mb update for 3d games and security upgrades then flashed that,
Was left with hboot 0018, upto date radio and s-off with unlocked bootloader and flashed then clockwork touch recovery, not the shortest method but its working.
I never heard of these hboots in my life.

Where are directions for downgrading the hboot? Last time i checked that was impossible.
1. Unlock your bootloader with HTC Unlocktoken
2. Change your CID on fastboot
3.Re-Lock your bootloader
[If you already have europian CID and hboot 1.49.0018 you can pass first 2 steps...]
Yes Thats it Now all you need PG86IMG.zip on your SD card.
Download PG86IMG.zip http://www.multiupload.com/39NSAMWQU7 NOTE:it will delete all your internal memory. Before flash it make backup)
4. Put your sd Card to your pc copy PG86IMG.zip to your sd card root
5. Power off your phone.
6. Press Vol Down+Power to open hboot.
7. Let the device find the zip file and flash it.
8. Chk the hboot version now.
9. I thing I don't need to explain how to use Revolutionary tool
This isn't my work. These are just the steps I followed. The thread is in the first post.

You're good to go since you're still S-Off. Just flash a recovery and do everything you would normally.

not yet rooted but i unlock bootloader & try to s-off but not supported hboot 1.49.0018 so i try to downgrade h-boot but not success & its now hanging on htc screen & rebooting time and again so plz if u have idea
The only hboot number supported is 1.49.0007 and 1.49.0008 anything above this require HTC dev so youve done that next you need to install a custom recovery next download a Rom and flash it next you will start the process off downgrading of your hboot to any of the hboots thats stated above once this is done your ready for alpharevolutionary.io then and only then you will be able to reach the almighty and famous s off in this order
sent from my EVO 3D s off using xda premium
And remember, if you screw up anywhere during the process, you can always download the GSM RUU, relock, and flash it through bootloader.
I wouldn't advise relocking unless you're completely stumped since i dont think you can unlock again after that.
has anybody succesfully gotten rid of ***RELOCKED*** on the 3d after rooting? i went back to stock so i am s-on again but want to get rid of the relocked message.
I have a gsm model. Reflashed ruu via pg86img to older version from my carrier. Then fastboot command 'fastboot oem writesecureflag 3' and then I was back to s-on showing lock not relock
I was revolutionary s-off

Same here got the ruu from xda then run the ruu then head to %TEMP% folder in windows and copy the rom.zip then rename it to PG86IMG.zip place it on sd , boot into bootloader on phone and update. this makes your phone like brand new from factory then connect to pc open command prompt and type "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" this turns s-off too s-on after this reboot bootloader and you will see ***locked*** s-on
But to do that, you have to be s-off first.
Otherwise there's no way to flash the img via bootloader if i'm not mistaken.
I just tried it (s-on / relocked) and neither the flashing or the fastboot command works unfortunately

cant you use the revolutionary method to s-off then flash the ruu zip? then use the command to s-on again. worked for me on hboot 1.4.9.0018 this gives you ***locked*** not relocked!

ok i do have sprint...i want the locked message...not relocked.
For me on Sprint version, no matter what I did it would show relocked if I was on hboot 1.50. If i was on hboot 1.40 it was fine. So I stayed 1.40 on went s-on. But HTC may actually upgrade it and check. Not sure.
so if im hboot 1.50 and root, i could downgrade to 1.40 then flash a ruu to loose root and it will show locked in stead of relocked?
does this work if i unlocked the bootloader with the HTCDev method instead of revolutionary?? my evo 3d is GSM
Hey! A while ago I rooted my phone using the revolutionary method. Later I reverted back to stock and locked the bootloader. However the S-OFF remained. A few minutes ago I had 1.53 HBOOT and ICS stock. But now I got HBOOT 1.49.0007 and I wanna use revolutionary tool to unlock bootloader yet again. But now it gives me an error saying, "Failed to get root! "
Is there another way to get rooted WITHOUT using the HTC method since I already got S-OFF and 1.49.0007 HBOOT? I don't feel comfortable using HTC's method....

I think the "Failed to get root!" message is because HTC patched the tacoroot exploit in the ICS builds that was being used for temp root with the GB builds.
Why do you want to unlock the bootloader? If you want to run the additional fastboot commands you should be able to just flash the JBear version of the current bootloader, or does that cause problems on the GSM model?

Since you are S-OFF you can flash whatever bootloader you want. I don't know revolutionary method, I was using jbear to get S-OFF. After S-OFF i flashed RUU and I was on stock 1.53.007 locked bootloader with S-OFF and i couldn't root my phone. I've flashed hboot from this site:
http://unlimited.io/jbhboots.htm
There you have 2 versions of GSM Evo 3d hboots. After that you can do everything with your phone. Good luck!

I contacted unlimited.io's support in the IRC and downloaded the ICS HBOOT - 1.53.5353 and flashed that. Now it seemes to work!
Anyway, thanks for your answer! If they wouldn't have responded then you would have been my savior!
Okay, problem number two.... I have flashed CWM now and I installed Super User inside recovery mode but I don't get root access? I downloaded the signed package from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991929
Any ideas?
I have tried to repair premissions after the install of Super User. I have also updates Super User from Market after Install due to force close after the fresh install from CWM
Link you gave leads to this topic Go to this thread:

Follow method B (steps 1 to 14 if you want to be on rooted stock) and it should be ok. If I remember correctly, there is a 4ext recovery to download, maybe try this one. Good luck!
i have a pretty much stock but rooted release evo.
android version 4.0.3
hboot 1.12.651.1
should i do OTA update then use dirtyracun or is there another way to go s-off then flash roms without using htc unlock?
U have to use HTC unlock to s-off

If you go to the Dirty Raccoon site, the steps are laid out. I found it to be very easy and was S-off in about a half hour.

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=LTE
the issue im concerned with is this part
"This version of DirtyRacun supports the following device:
HTC Evo 4G LTE (Jewel) - HBOOT 1.12 / 1.15 / 1.19 / 2.09"
should i update my phone first?
It seems to matter which HBOOT you have. It looks like DR supports all of them but just in case check your HBOOT.
Do this by turning off the phone. Then turn it back on while holding the volume down button. It should show in the white screen. Use volume controls to move cursor and power button to enter. Reboot is under "fastboot".
I know I have 1.13 hboot which is not listed on dirtyracun so I wasn't sure if I need to update to move forward

Yes you should be on one of the hboot's that the guide recommended.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=LTE
so doing some reading it would appear that if i had done this prior to dirtyracun i could have used lazypanda and not used htcdev unlock but since they removed that i now need to update OTA to current hboot then do htcdev unlock then dirtyracun?

If you want to root or flash roms you will need to use htc-dev to unlock your bootloader and you need to be unlocked to flash a custom recovery(TWRP)
