Ok I guess this is nothing new (I'm sorry for making a new thread but here goes since it's already here!) and honestly there's probably no reason to do this I did it on accident troubleshooting a problem with my mic...
First I did the downgrade procedure using Closeone's awesome live cd it's super easy and really not as scary as one would think!
Once the downgrade was done, had used revolutionary and I had installed Meanrom (Meanrom not necessary) I ended up running the 2.17 RUU which left me with "Relocked and S-OFF"
Then I just did the htcdev unlock (it actually won't let you select yes but it unlocks the bootloader) after this it let me flash a recovery image through fastboot.
Once again sorry this was already known I just had never seen it and wanted to share it with you all in case it might help someone

Not trying to burst your bubble but i had 1.5 s-off before...all you have to do is gain s-off through revolutionary and either accidentally or purposefully flash a pg86img/ruu.exe that contains hboot 1.5. Those files don't change s-off/s-on

if you start with 1.3/1.4 and run revolutionary the shooter gets radio s-off. after that if you're ruu'ing to hboot 1.5 in the end result is s-off. hence the permanent nand unlock

Reaper24 explained what had happened on the first page. Just an accident. If you are already on HBOOT 1.40, you can unlock the device (S-OFF) with Revolutionary. Upgrading back to 1.50 will still allow S-OFF to work as long as the device was previously unlocked.
Currently, the only known way of getting S-OFF on a HBOOT 1.50 is downgrading it to 1.40 (see Unknownforce's post stickied at the top of the page or my signature).
Thanks anyways nymica.

How much are you selling the evo and how much are you buying it for?
If you sell it for ~100 and get it for ~200, it could be worth it depending on what you do with your phone.

There's nothing wrong with HTC's method or HBOOT 1.50 or being able to get s-off. They're all the same and accomplish the same thing if you can read and follow directions. People *****ed because HTC locked the phone. They unlocked it and people still ***** and moan. It's not like you're stuck on the stock ROM if you have HBOOT 1.50.
The thing I am unsure about is does HTC give you full root access. Not even flashing ROMS but like super user stuff and seeing into hidden memories.

Yes, it's no different than being S-off other than you cannot downgrade your HBOOT version and maybe radios (someone correct me if I'm wrong). You will need to flash ROMs containing custom kernels a little differently. I think you remove the kernel from the .zip, flash the ROM, and then flash the kernel via fastboot (I could have the order wrong, but it's not complicated and there are several threads about how to do it).
I was trading my evo with the seidio extended battery for a evo 3d and $130

It's not about how complicated it is. It's about how HTC said they would unlock our devices, and they gave us a half assed method of doing it. I shouldn't HAVE to flash kernels through fastboot. I should be able to launch a recovery and flash to my hearts content. It's my god damn phone, they should give me access to it.
HTC's method doesn't give you S-OFF
some people claim you can flash a kernel from fastboot, I followed right along and nope... looks like it flashes, reverts every time on my S-ON unlocked via TWRP or CWM. Sooo, I don't think they're fibbing, but a lot of the S-ON phones are still pretty much un-rooted
Sorry guys, I have a S-On Unlocked EVO3D and installed CMW with Root access.
Is it a temporary root? I still have root access after I reboot it. Or S-Off means other thing?

Your root is permanent. The different between HTC's Unlock and S-OFF is that HTC's Unlock only half-S-Off's your phone. You have to flash kernels and ROMs via fastboot. With S-OFF, you can flash through recovery as you wish.
Anything you flash should permanently stay so your root access should stay.
I had my phone flashed to MetroPCS and the guy updated my hboot to 1.5 I saw a thread a couple months back about being able to downboot my hboot from 1.5 to 1.4 with S-off but a search didn't help me find anything. Anyone know the steps/point me in the right direction?

[Q] Downgrading HBOOT 1.5 --> 1.4

2nd time around: shift didn't have the nand write lock on the misc partition, hence being able to temp root and flash a lower version to the misc partition then hboot would allow a downgraded version of software to be loaded.
esseentially it seems as if htc was doing the bare minimum to protect the shift from being unlocked/rooted as all these methods were known and some were used on the HTC EVO prior to the shift software releases.
this has been covered a few times on the forums, but i hope rehashing old ideas/attempts might spark new ones! sometimes it only takes a slight tweak to an old method for it to bypass a patch and work! hope that helps!

If your hboot was soff before he upgraded, then it would still be soff, so if you're on hboot 1.5 with s off, then you can downgrade. If you're s on, then you're stuck.

I know downgrading from 1.5 with S-on is currently impossible but I know it can be done with S-off

Is there something that I have missed or am not seeing based on the info below?

Make sure to read through it 10 times and triple check that you have all of the necessary items before you begin. It would also be a good idea to have a USB drive with Ubuntu on it just in case.

I am right there with you, while it was going through feeding panda and said "cant find device" I about crapped myself.
Same here, bricked, but got it back with Ubuntu. Anyone still on the first hboot don't realize what they got and s-off otherwise your wasting your phones potential. There is no excuse for having hboot 1.12 and being s-on anymore.

Y don't u just do the lazypanda s-off now since you are stock. U don't need fresh rom to do it. The new base is installed when u install a new rom on the new base. Just flash radios separately which u can do once s-off or just being on 1.12 I believe.

Why would you downgrade hboot and then run ruu to install the latest hboot? If you downgraded to 1.12 you should have no problem running lazy panda. Am I missing something?
On unlimited's site it says the rom requirements to run lazy panda is 1.13 RUU. I was confused on that as well but it hasn't been successful. I'm currently 1.12 hboot with 1.22 software version. So at this point just run the lazy panda?
Someone in mac's development thread stated they were able to run lazy panda on 1.12. You should ask about it in that thread and see if anyone can help
i ran it out of the box no RUU just ran it
Was that you that mentioned it then? I was having a hard time remembering who mentioned it lol
WHOO HOO! I'm S-Off!!! Ok am I finally ready for customer roms etc and I guess i need to flash radios of course.

The purpose of the forum is to get the right info I've seen conflicting points on whether or not you still need to unlock the bootloader after s-off.
My understanding was that once your s-off you don't need to unlock because it bypasses the bootloader security checks. I am probably wring but I was hoping to get a clarified answer with this forum what do think choochoo

You shouldn't have to all you really need to do is flash the ENG Hboot and flash a recovery and then flash a Rom most have root already and your good to go.

The eng hboot has more functions available so there is a better chance of messing up the phone. Most people stick with the stock hboot since that's good enough for most.

Unless you actually run any of the additional commands included in ENG hboot you will be ok. Much ado about nothing.

The biggest issue with eng hboot is if you try to s on your phone with the eng hboot installed you will bard brick your device.

Why would you try to so your device after you have s-offed it
Where do I find the non-eng hboot? I'm paranoid that if I ever need to s-on my phone I'll further I have eng h-boot and brick it so I kind of want to go back.

You shouldn't have to all you really need to do is flash the ENG Hboot and flash a recovery and then flash a Rom most have root already and your good to go. If you wanna use the stock hboot and only want su permission then you do need to unlock hboot it to be able to flash a recovery and superuser or supersu.

Just got my phone back from the JTAG service and this was the exact procedure. Flashed the ENG boot and then flashed recovery. Bootloader still says 'LOCKED' but allowed me to flash.
I've JTAGG'd 18 DNA devices so far on the OTA update (I do this on the downlow due to specific "developer" who can't understand how to get all phones to take the RIFF JTAG flash software.
Flash ENG Hboot if you want the options available to it, though not mandatory. Install a root program (SuperSU is my recommendation), then flash a recovery.
Immediately backup your current setup, then go for any ROM you see fit. Profit.
