I down graded to hboot 1.4 and The got s-off using revolutionary
I am now trying to install some roms and Not sure about some things. Will Roms that are based off of software version 2.17.... work after downgrading hboot because we had to downgrade software version too?

Do you want to from 2.17 to lower version or from lower version to 2.17?
If you want to go from 1.13/2.08 to 2.17 the follow this :
To use 2.17 ROM with hboot 1.4 and S-OFF first flash this PG86IMG.zip -----> http://db.tt/57Mycsoj by putting it on root of sdcard (1st rename the file to PG86IMG.zip) then booting into bootloader. It will detect it and then let it update.
It will update your radios and firmware. It will not touch the hboot and Secureflag.
After the update you can flash any 2.17 ROM or restore any update if you had.
NOTE: I dont know exactly if you can still flash a 2.08 ROM after the radio and firmware update.
Also, After you have installed the above PG86IMG.zip file, delete it from your SD card. Otherwise when you try getting into recovery using the power/down volume method, it will search for the update and ask to install it again.
thanks

1.13 refers to the ROM version. You will now need to DL a 2.17 based ROM and install it. The above file was only to get you ready for the install of a 2.17 based ROM.

so i found this guide about getting a custom recovery and S-OFF which looks safe to me
xttp://appcounter.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/installing-custom-rom-for-htc-evo-3d.html
All i want now is simply how to install an ICS leak ROM.
from what i understand, when you are hboot 149007 and s-off you can flash everything
Also,how easy is it to return to a stock GSM EVO 3d after being rooted custom ROMed etc?
up for assistance
my phone cant recognize the P86IMG.zip
As i know you don't need s-off to install ics leaked roms cause the kernel is stock.
If i may give you a suggestion ... WAIT, at moment it seems that there is not a sure way to remove firmware upgrade. On my phone thare are now random issues.
Trust me, the ics experience is something less than you may expect... sense 3.6 kill s it

The P86IMG.zip will downgrade your HBOOT to 1.49.0007. After that you can use the Revolutionary method ( revolutionary.io ) to get S-off; Revolutionary only works with HBOOT 1.49.0007 or 1.49.0008, that's why you're downgrading the HBOOT.

exactly as above....use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316578 to downgrade to hboot 1.49.0007 (check for the steps...might need to skip some) then after that go here http://revolutionary.io/ and follow the instructions as mentioned below :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sw_mgVHWYo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlO8QtMVq6g&feature=related
and now you are s-off....then through recovery you can flash any rom you like....and yes this method is fully reversible as mentioned here http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/07/h...-evo-3d-back-to-an-unrooted-s-on-state-1.html
you just flash the official ruu and all goes back to normal including hboot
Also to answer your second question, Run a correct stock RUU file and it should restore everything. To make it s-on again you need to run some commands through fastboot, which i cant remember.
I've been out of the scene for a while,
I haven't done any of the new RUU's and I'm also on a very outdated kernel I believe.
I'm running Viperrez 1.3 with kernel version: 3.0.16. S-OFF'd
I'm planning to install CM9 AOKP, should I RUU for the new radios, etc?
And if yes, if there are instructions on how. That would be great!

if you are s-off then i would say yes. update to the latest ruu.
steps for s-off:
download ruu
rename ruu to PH98IMG.zip
place on root of sd card
back up internal storage because the ruu will wipe it.
run ruu
first time flashing ruu it will update hboot and 4 other things and then ask for a reboot.
let the phone reboot back into bootloader and continue with the flashing.
boot phone once.
remove the ruu zip from sd card and place the this hboot on the root of your sd card
boot back into hboot and let it update.
boot back into you phone and remove hboot zip
now this part is up to you. you can either run the fastboot command to flash a recovery or find a recovery that is already in zip form to flash in hboot.

Latest firmware is listed in the Firmware thread in the dev section, no need to run the whole RUU and wipe out your phone if you're s-off.

Flashing the RUU and wiping can avoid potential radio issues, though.

This is going to be a short and simple guide for S-OFF users that want to update to the current RUU level or refresh their phone because they are having issues like being unable to boot certain ROM's. You will not lose S-OFF by flashing the RUU.
1. Do a nandroid backup of your current ROM if you want to restore it later.
2. Download the current version of the RUU for your phone in exe or zip format from this page.
3. Run the exe version of the RUU in Windows or the zip version as a PG86IMG.zip file through the bootloader. If using the bootloader method make sure the file is named exactly "PG86IMG.zip" and placed in the root of your SD card before starting the bootloader.
There is no need to unlock the bootloader before running it if you are S-OFF and there is troubleshooting information in this post if you have problems. It may be necessary to run the RUU twice if you have a custom bootloader installed when it is run the first time. If the utility hangs after flashing the bootloader from Windows just cancel it and restart.
I recommend downloading and installing the OTA(s) immediately after flashing the RUU to get the most current firmware while still 100% stock, but the OTA firmware update(s) can be downloaded as a separate PG86IMG.zip file if you forget or can't do that for some reason.
4. Flash a custom hboot using the instructions in this post. My recommendation for a good general purpose hboot is the JBear GB 1.50.5050 version unless you are running an ICS Sense ROM like stock or Cool ICS that requires an ICS bootloader (1.57.xxxx or 1.58.xxxx).
5. Connect your phone to a PC and start the bootloader in "fastboot USB " mode, then issue the following command to flash your favorite recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where "recovery.img" is the name of the recovery file in your ADB/fastboot directory)
6. Boot into recovery and restore a nandroid or flash another custom ROM. You may have to wipe cache+dalvik and restart recovery if you get any error messages from the recovery program.
That's it. You're now updated or re-synced with the current firmware, the hboot that meets your requirements and your favorite recovery.
Here are some additional links that might be helpful:
4EXT Recovery OP for the Evo 3D CDMA thread with a direct link to recovery.img in the download section (not the most current version)
Current TeamWin (TWRP2) touch recovery for the CDMA Evo 3d.

No. That's an older GB level and the most current RUU for the Evo 3D is the 2.89.651.2 ICS version. That's the one I recommend.
Since he is S-OFF already it's easy to revert to a GB RUU if neccessary.

I better not mess with it,lol
This isn't anything like flashing new ROM's on my phone.

It's not really that difficult if you are familiar with rooting and flashing HTC devices but I can understand how it might be for users coming from other brands. Samsung in particular is definitely less complicated.

I flashed the above RUU .exe and I'll get to 10%, then my phone reboots (RUU program says "attaining bootloader" or something) and go into a bootloop. Is there a specific hboot necessary to run this. I am on 1.04.200 and s-off, 1.09.00.706
I also tried updating via the bootloader method as well..... runs well....updates like four of the ten check offs and then bootloops as well.
Edit: turns out I was flashing the wrong version, oops

From experience I've discovered that the RUU.exe utility will sometimes stop after flashing the stock bootloader if it is run with a custom hboot installed, which is why I put this comment in the OP:
If the utility hangs after flashing the bootloader from Windows just cancel it and restart.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've had no problem completing the RUU.exe flash if I just cancel the utility in the Windows task manager and restart it.
Others have reported that re-flashing the RUU.zip file through the bootloader also works if the original flash is incomplete.
Also, make sure that you downgrade your hboot after flashing the RUU since the stock hboot won't boot GB or AOSP based ROM's.

Ok one more stupid question, after successfully flashing the correct RUU my phone boots into the stock virgin mobile. How do I get into bootloader (to flash OTA update and hboot) from here since holding power and volume down button from off no longer work.

Try removing/replacing the battery and then use the Power+VolumeDown buttons together to enter the bootloader.
The stock ROM has the "fast boot" option turned on in the power settings by default and that will interfere if you try to enter the bootloader after powering down from the stock ROM.

I'm currently S-Off H-boot 1.40 but still on gingerbread firmware(2.17 radio 0.97.10.0530). also flashed to Boost Mobile. My question is if I run RUU to newest build will I lose boost mobile flash?

I honestly don't know.
There is a post by a cricket user in my rooting and S-OFF guide that says the customization is not lost for that carrier but I've never used Boost and can't speak to that.
Perhaps another Boost user on these forums has experience with flashing the RUU.

Using the bootloader procedure is, by far, the easiest way of doing the RUU process that I've encountered. From custom ROM, to stock, back to a custom ROM in less than 45 minutes.
ramjet, thank you for your contributions to our platform.
so my wife is hboot 1.40, radio version 0.97.... running a GB ROM. I need to update her EVERYTHING(you pointed me here) and get her on NegaLite BluROM. I believe I will need to update her hboot as well. At what point in this process should that be done? Do I need to be worried that her current ROM is incompatible with either the new RUU or the new bootloader? And if it is, then I just work through it all in recovery?
Very useful thread, and thank you very much, by the way.

Is her phone S-OFF? If so, there is a link in the OP to a post that covers updating the hboot. If not, the only way to update the hboot is to flash a more current RUU.

Yes she is S-off. She also already has 4ext recovery installed.
Does this negate my need to flash recovery in the downloader?
Since she is S-off, this should be pretty easy.
I will still need to access the bootloader via Windows cmd, yes? Or can I accomplish all of this using only the handset?

That's a stock hboot so you should be fine. You can still update using the RUU if a custom hboot is installed, but it might take a restart to complete after the stock hboot is installed.

I have installed CM 10.2 (Android 4.3) and have tried running an RUU (both through fastboot and the executable) to which they both end up failing. The fastboot states too many threads when writing the bootloader and the Windows executable gives an error 155.
[SOLVED] Look below!
Anyone able to help I am just starring at my boot loader screen all day. TWRP will not even allow me to sideload says cannot mount anything.
So after two days of not having a phone, I solved the issue.
It seems the RUU would not run with the newer version of HBOOT found in the GE version of the rom. So I reflashed HBOOT 1.44 (see attached) and BOOM RUU worked and back to stock!
Hope this helps someone

Custom recovery does not replace hboot. You shouldn't have to replace hboot to flash ARHD. You don't even have to unlock the bootloader. Just S-off, flash custom recovery, nandroid backup, and flash ARHD. After Rom is flashed, flash new firmware to update your 1.29 firmware to 2.24

2.25.2525 Hboot is the custom S-OFF JuopunutBear Hboot and does not need to be upgraded (I've been running it for like a year and half with no issues on several versions of radio/ROM), also your radios are current so no radio/hboot update is required... Just find a ROM you like and flash and go!

Thank you REV3NT3CH, I will take a look on your guide right now!
Question for you guys, and I know it depends on preference, but could you point me out to some stable ROMs?
There are several out there and I normally don't mind reading hundreds of posts to learn the bugs and features but the amount of information about the Rezound it is overwhelming
I have CM10 installed in 3 of my Tablets but I also like Sense and don't mind using something different however I am not eager to try unfinished or experimental ROMS specially because one of the Rezounds stays with my wife, so a clean and stable ROM is the best option for us now.
Thanks you again!!!

You are already way beyond that...
What alotta people even android police confuse is that an RUU is not a zip file...its a windows exe program used to restore the phone....an OTA is a PH98IMG file...which the 2 files you need are the this 1st ph98img.zip and the this 2nd ph98img.zip and youre set

Although there are complete ROM ZIP images as well, even if all you have is Hboot & recovery and are S-ON, they will install provided the hboot is the same or older and partitioning is still good... The will install HBoot, recovery, radios, and system even if no system files exists. True they are not RUUs and do not perform a full system recovery (like in the event emmc is corrupted), but for many situations they are good enough.
