And you should have down graded to 1.49.007 or 1.49.008 did you down grade to any one of these if you didn't then you would have to down grade to anyone of hboot numbers above

When you follow a Guide, you should follow it thoroughly. Do not skip any step buddy.
I can see you are still on latest radio and 2.17 ROM with hboot 1.4. Why didnt you followed the last few things of the 2nd step?
You should run 1.13 RUU exe before running revolutionary. After that you will be on the old 1.13 ROM and the old radios and baseband with hboot 1.4. Then
Turn On USB debugging from settings > Applications > development.
and run revolutionary and you will be good to go.
You can then again upgrade to 2.17 with latest radio by keeping hboot 1.4 and S-OFF by flashing this from bootloader (rename it PG86IMG.zip first) --> http://db.tt/F6iivHSC
That zip will upgrade everything including firmware,radio,baseband (software version will be 1.13 though) after flashing that you can restore your 2.17 nandroid or can flash any 2.17 ROM without changing hboot and S-OFF flag.
NOTE: Do not use 2.17 RUU or your hboot will be upgraded to 1.5 again. S-OFF will still be there.
1.5 isn't a big deal. As long as you have s off it stays til you change the secure flag. You can still flash roms. Etc

thank you i guess i did miss some steps, its been a long day with school, kids, and work i will retry again and ensure i follow all steps.

Do not retry all those steps, you should just use the 1.13 RUU EXE now, then revolutionary IMO , just check again what steps you've missed.......
thank you for your advice it worked i guess i was just so excited about getting 1.4 without totally truly bricking my phone i over looked the rest of the steps... i am now 1.4 with S-off. Thank you everybody for your input.

Followed the guide from Paul on Modac, while attempting to unlock the bootloader I ran into an error that was resolved by updating fastboot. I successfully rooted,flashed custom rom and booted. I noticed that while in bootloader I went from S-OFF to S-ON. The fast boot error came attempting " 'fastboot flash recovery revolutionary-cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.newhboot.img' " The error 'Locked' the bootloader. After I updated fastboot above command worked, BUT I was now back to S-On.
What part of the process should I redo in order to get S-OFF back?
What are my limitations with S-ON?
Any thoughts, comments, suggestions and especially solutions are appreciated.
Also the haptic buttons ( same row as pen button) do NOT work. They do not light and are not usable
Yeah the buttons don't work in honeycomb because you have the on screen buttons to do the job.
And It's normal to have s-on. HTC's method only unlocks the bootloader. I'm pretty sure you aren't able to flash kernels or something like that.

I was able to flash a custom rom.
Just got home from work. Revolutionary does not support the HC bootloader version 1.11.0006.
My question is, what part of the process caused my device to go from S-ON->S-OFF-> Back to S-ON?
I know I'm limited now, can I downgrade my bootloader version 1.11.0003 or 1.11.0000?

When you first used revolutionary you got complete s-off, and then during the process of upgrading to honeycomb you flashed a new hboot which gave you s-on again because well..It's a new hboot. Lol. And the only way you can downgrade your hboot is to run the ruu for your model flyer to revert back to gingerbread. If you have the US 16gb version then you cannot go back to gingerbread because there isn't a ruu yet.
Hopefully I'm not confusing you more
Revolutionary does not support the HC bootloader version 1.11.0006.
but after unlock bootloader go htc dev.com and unlock bootloader from step by step guaid....after you see in fastboot

No not really confused by your explanation. What confuses me if is the process was suppose to give me S-OFF in the first place. I understand the logic of the new hboot being S-ON. But if you're following me you kinda see where I'm thinking 0_o lol.

So I'm not suppose to have S-OFF after running that command?
I think that's what he is saying. My bootloader was a totally different one. So I don't really have any knowledge. What I would do is go into the development forum and do a quick search and see if anyone answered the question or had a similar problem and fixed. It helps out a lot. I don't want to give you knowledge and mess anything up on your end.

haha the process of going to honeycomb was not supposed to give you s-off, simply an unlocked bootloader. I think i'm following you
My understanding of the situation is the hboot that is required to install HC sets s-on, and currently it is not possible to change it back to s-off without reverting back to the original hboot using the RUU. Even if you changed back to the original hboot, honeycomb would no longer boot.
At least, that's my understanding.
The only way right now to get S-OFF is with HBOOT versions 1.11.0000 and 1.11.0003. Since you have 1.11.0006, needed for running HC on the Flyer, Revolutionary doesn't support it, so right now you can only have the unlocked boot loader and S-ON. If you run the Revolutionary tool with HBOOT 1.11.0006, it will tell you it is not supported, and won't run.
The only way it would be supported is when the AlphaRev/Unrevoked team update their tool to support it. So running that command listed above does cause this, but it is required in order to run HC on the Flyer. Without it, I don't know if you'd have a $300 brick or what.

I used the HTC unlock method, had a custom Rom, went to install an ICS Rom got a bootloop.
Decided to downgrade to HBOOT 1.4. I followed the guide here at XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563342
Until I got to the part where I am supposed to brick it. I have downloaded the 2.17 RUU.zip renamed it to PG86IMG.zip checked to make sure the file name is correct, once i copied to the phone and loaded my phone in bootloader it would just check the PG86IMG.zip and do nothing , it DOES NOT ask me to update. Ss this because when I reboot into android it says..
in Settings, ABOUT PHONE it says I have Software number 2.17.651.5
other info on my phone is:
Android 2.3.4
Sense 3.0
Software Number 2.17.651.5
in the bootloader my phone says
Relocked
Shooter XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 1.50.0000

Aug 7 2011, 10:21:40
Somewhere in the process I downloaded the 2.17 RUU in exe format and ran it from windows. at that point I didn't have a working ROM since I had tried the ICS ROM and bootlooped.
What can I do from here I'm stuck any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Howdy,
I'm trying to get S-OFF on my Sprint Evo 3D so I can install this ROM. The documentation says that I need HBOOT 1.58 and S-OFF.
I was trying to following the directions from this thread here.
Originally, I had unlocked using the HTC Dev Unlock method, so I used the relock tool. After that my bootloader said "Relocked" and "Security Warning". I moved to the next step -- pseudo-bricking the phone by corrupting the HBOOT update process. However, nothing I do will get the phone to brick. I've tried about 10 different times (varying the wait time before I pull the power each time) and I never get it to brick. Here are all of my relevant settings and files that I'm using.
Current HBOOT banner: "Relocked" (Security Warning disappeared at some point)
HBOOT ver: 1.50
S-ON
RUU I'm using to corrupt HBOOT: 2.17 from here
If anyone can help me get this sorted out I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Why would you brick.the.phone? Just get unlocked + root and do the wiretrick by juopunotbear, takes 5 minutes.

Thanks, I'll give this a shot when I get back from class. Just to be clear, if I use this method will I eventually be able to end up on HBOOT 1.58 so that I can use ROMs with the 2.89 kernel? I have only just skimmed over your post before class so if that question is answered in there then nvm!
Once s-off, you can flash any hboot you want.
sudo passwd root
Worked like a champ! Thanks so much.
I know you are fairly new here, but as a future reference. It is common courtesy to hit the thank you button if somebody helps you. Ramjet's guide is the easist and quickest way for sprint users to gain s-off on the new ics firmware and hboot.

The thread you posted has a toolkit and instructions, including RUU's, designed for the Sprint Evo 3D and I don't believe it supports the Virgin Mobile Evo V.
I've recently updated my guide to include rooting and gaining S-OFF for the Evo V using the JuopunutBear (wire trick) method.

You can downgrade your hboot once you have S-OFF. When you get to that point you will need to change the CID in the android-info.txt file included in the hboot zip files from "SPCS_001" (Sprint) to "SPCS_002" (Virgin Mobile) or find versions of the hboot zip files that aleady have that changed. Here's a thread on another site that might help.

That one with about 384 kB. Then, turn off your phone, turn it on in bootloader (volume down + power on). Wait a little and it will ask you to update. Press volume up, and wait. After that you have to delete that PG file from sd card. (that pg 300 MB has a rom on it..thats why it is so big)

If you can boot into your ROM then just check whether your phone is recognizing data on your sdcard. Sometimes after the wire trick sdcards tend to flip out. Your pc might be detecting it fine but the phone might not. Just humor me and try playing a song or something from the card just to rule out this possibility

If you are still having issues let me know. I have recently had the same problem as yourself.
With hboot 1.53 you can only run ICS ROMs but if you are not able to run ICS either I would use a 4EXT recovery then enable smart flash (I know this should only matter when s-on is worth a go) Also use fastboot to flash the boot.img from what ever ROM you have chosen just incase it's an issue with that.
PG86img.zip files are CID specific and need to be for your location and carrier (from my understanding) unless you have a super CID which is 11111111 (denoting a factory unlocked device, but don't quote me)
I too have a 1.53.0007 hboot and also am having trouble finding a solution to hboot changes once you are s-off with that hboot. How I got that hboot after gaining s-off is beyond me but it seems I am not alone and if that hboot can be put in it HAS to be able to change it. The easiest way that I can think of is to gain s-on (I haven't looked hard enough for that yet though) then to s-off again and make the hboot update that way.
by the way (now I can't find it's exact meaning and am choked) I was really surprised that the beer reference had more than just a catchy ring to it. Engineering something or other, I shoulda wrote it down
