i was on hboot 1.40 with a custom rom, then went back to stock and forgot the step to lock my bootloader. after all the stock rom updates im on hboot 1.50 with s-off. can i flash roms (kernels actually) without fastboot now?

I believe so. You may even be able to downgrade to hboot 1.4 I believe.

I always hit the damn thanks button instead of the quote! You got a free thanks
Anyways, go this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192306 and download the SHIP 1.40 hboot (unless you want the ENG one, then download that). Follow the instructions in that post, and flash it. Just a simple PG86IMG.zip.
This guy did the same thing as you, and had success rolling back to 1.40. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17993045&postcount=97
Good luck.

I have S-off and my hboot reads 2.21 .0000. I've noticed on other people's devices the hboot is 2.11.1111. What's the difference?

Once I get S-OFF I can just flash the latest GB OTA RUU and that should bring me back to HBoot 2.11?
I'm already on ICS firmware but want to go back to out of the box stock GB.

Yap. The ruu will drop you back to 2.11 and also reinstall the older radios. I did this right after obtaining S-OFF to start with a fresh phone. I am now on GB firmware(ENG hboot) running ICS using the old firmware patch.

So you ran the full gb ruu and your hboot downgraded to 2.11 but still s-off/locked correct? Then you fastboot flashed the 2.11 eng hboot correct?
Just asking because I will try this later.

Ok, I'm confused on one thing, at what points from s-off to gb ruu to eng hboot do I have to lock and relock?

I just tried this running the juopunutbear modified hboot 2.21 s-off locked. I ran the full gb ruu, bootloader no longer said juopunutbear, it just showed a stock 2.11 locked s-off. I flashed the 2.11 eng hboot in fastboot. Now it shows locked, hboot 2.11 eng s-off. No issues at all. I never once had to unlock.

Ok but right now I'm on ICS firmware from the ICS Leaked RUU and HBoot 2.21 and at the top of the bootloader it says Tampered ReLocked.
So your saying that at no point do I need to unlock? I'm gonna go home and s-off the run the GB OTA RUU and then flash Amon Ra recovery and possibly flash ENG HBoot, and I don't need to unlock?

The unlock is useless once you obtain s-off.
The ***tampered*** is showing because you are still using the stock 2.21 hboot. If you flash the juopunutbear modified hboot in fastboot you will no longer see the ***tampered*** or the ***locked*** in the hboot, it will only show Juopunutbear at the top.
here are 3 pictures to better explain using the 2.21 hboot.
left: unlocked/s-on/tampered.
middle: locked/s-off/tampered
right: s-off/juopunutbear
juopunutbear is a modified 2.21 hboot, almost like a eng hboot for ONLY ics firmware,
make sense?
Yes but do I have to take the jbear hboot during s-off? I just want to go back to GB and I don't mind using the GB HBoot. I may try the ENG HBoot after I'm on GB HBoot.

rename jb_hboot.zip found in the "controlbear" folder to PH98IMG.zip and flash it as you normally flash a PH image.
that will change your hboot to their modified version where is says juopunutbear.

i did not take it. i flashed it manually as i heard others saying it did not flash. so i skipped it and did it myself.
as far as downgrading a stock hboot 2.21 s-off to to stock 2.11 s-off i do not know...i see no reason why you cannot?
the gb ruu will give you a stock 2.11 anyway while keeping your status to s-off.
i will try later tonight. i just came back from the doctors a little nauseated from some meds....

No authority here, but just passing along a couple of things as they were explained to me:
1. Even with S-off, you might not be able fastboot flash (installing recovery, for example) while locked. Alternatives would be to either unlock, install the ENG HBOOT, or flash with PH98IMG.zip.
2. Also, I believe there was a big note in a thread saying that you could brick your phone by relocking over the ENG HBOOT. The instructions were to restore the correct HBOOT for your configuration before relocking.
As for me, I decided that I do enough flashing that I want fastboot commands to work, and I'm less afraid of resetting everything to restore my phone to factory "LOCKED" indicator than I am afraid of reflashing the only thing that absolutely must be intact to keep from bricking the phone. So I unlocked the stock loader despite having s-off already.

#1 is definitely up for debate but so far I have had no issues using fastboot to flash recoveries and kernels. I tested this stock hboot 2.11 and 2.21 with locked s-off.
#2 I was advised not to try when this question was asked from another thread. I would not even want to. the chances of big brother actually checking for s-on/s-off or locked/unlock/relocked is slim to none.....i would not even bother with an s-on command.
I am currently locked on 2.11 eng s-off running RezROM S4 v1.1 with his firmware patch. phone has great battery life, no data loss and operates much much cooler
I got my broken evo 3d back from htc today and still have s-off but hboot 1.5 installed and stock rom. What do i need to do to get root back.

Not been in this situation personally, but as far as I know, since you are s-off, you should be able to flash a recovery and then use it to flash a custom ROM that is already rooted. You may be able to install the Superuser app without having to go through all that, but, like I said, I am not 100% sure.
look
install superuser through cmd prompt on ur computer..there isnt any other way around it..just google it and its super easy
Look in the sticky, flash the 1.4 HBOOT.
Find the TWRP thread, flash that.
Flash a ROM of your choice.

If all you're wanting is to root the stock ROM, flash a custom recovery, then flash the superuser.zip.
hboot 1.5 and s-off
Thanks everyone. My bootloader is locked and I'm 1.5 and s-off. So if i flash hboot 1.4 on my sd card. then a recovery along with a rom. That should get me back?

If your boatloader is locked you can't install a custom recovery or a Rom.

If it says S-OFF hboot 1.4, you my good friend are free to flash whatever you want. Happy flashing.
Considering there's a tool out now to give you S-OFF with Hboot 1.19 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964309)
Is there any advantage to updating the Hboot?
If not i will just keep what i got since developers on here don't find it necessary to take the time to mention which hboot their rom is developed and tested with.

It doesn't matter what hboot you have, 1.12, 1.15, or 1.19. You can s-off all 3. There is no point in upgrading at all.

It does not matter what hboot, I'm running outdated hboot and firmware and run viper, mean, stock w/goodies, cm10, pa just fine. The difference in hboot is 1.12 allows direct access to boot partition, 1.15 and 1.19 do not. It's not an issue now that you can either soff or downgrade and soff all current hboot software
Just wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue installing a Jelly Bean ROM. Just for background info, I have hboot 1.50, the 2.89 firmware, and the phone is s-off and unlocked. Whenever I install a Jelly Bean ROM I get a boot loop at the HTC screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I may possibly fix this? I want my JB fix!
I know people say hboot 1.5 works, but people tend to have better luck with hboot 1.04 or 1.4.
If that doesn't work, which it didn't for me when I had the same issue, try the ruu.exe. You'll remain s-off, but completely stock. Then flash hboot above, 4ext recovery, then Rom.

Which RUU? The 2.89 version? I don't care about being stock since I can always flash a new ROM after. I gotta look around for the hboot 1.40. Thanks for the info.

Hello i was trying to downgrade my hboot from 1.58 to 1.50 my evo has s-off and i need s-off in order to flash the rom CyanogenMod 10.1
the bootloader is JBear . and when i downgraded the cellphone just boots and boots not passing the welcome screen
i upgraded again to 1.58 but im wondering if there is another or better way to do it.
THanks
Try a different 1.50 hboot, maybe? Also, after hboot change the rom you had previously installed does not boot and you MUST format all partitions (except sdcard, ofcourse) before installing another ROM.

After hboot change you must minimally wipe cache and dalvik. I always do this and reboot recovery then restore my backup. Never an issue. It's not necessary to wipe all after an hboot change.

I had that issue as well, only no one tried to help lol. I fixed it by flashing the RUU. That'll give you a clean slate to work from. I used hboot 1.4, and obviously s-off and am now running CM10.1.
