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...

Hello
I made on your phone with hboot 1.49.00018 downgrade through HTCdev
I then made through the revolutionary S-OFF
I then recorded the RUU and choose FastBoot oem writesecureflag 3 gave the phone to the state S-ON
but on my screen instead LOCKED light RELOCKED
how to achieve it again to be on display LOCKED??
Not possible to change this again. Wrong section by the way...

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.
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

Im not really sure how it came to this but my 3d is i guess "semi-bricked"
I was one of the lucky few who plagued themselves with the VM firmware. I successfully downgraded per the instructions, but i wanted to unroot my phone completely. I follwed the unroot instructions and wrote the fastboot secure flag 3 at the last step and it took fine but now my radio is no longer working. By radio i mean my actual signal coming into the phone. It says no service with an x next to the signal bars. Any thoughts. Im currently on locked hboot 1.5 S-On with the latest sprint firmware from the OTA update. This is the only problem. Everything else in the OS works fine. I tried RUUs and PG86IMGs and they go thru but dont bring back radio service...
Have you checked your APN settings???

Is the root process the same for the VM Evo3d with ICS the same as Sprint with.GB

Yes, but if you are going using the stock rom rooted get the su patch from android forums.

Ok I need a walkthrough if anybody knows a link that would be awesome. when I rooted my sprint Evo3d I used revolutionary but the VM Evo has hboot 1.57 so I'm not sure which way to go. And I don't want to brick this one. No Black Tie insurance.

Great!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone else?
Is Sprint the only place to get the white EVO?
thats not entirely true. when i got my first white evo july 13th it had the hboot 1.15... however when i brought it into Sprint to have them swap it out due to a vibration defect, the new one that i got had hboot 1.12 on it. pretty much luck of the draw.
and yes you can only get the white evo at a sprint store
I got my whitey about a week ago, and it is now S-OFF Came with the old software, thankfully.
My white one came with 1.12. Was very relieved to find that, I thought for sure it wouldn't be.
