edit, nevermind, this is for only s-on people. If you're on HBOOT 1.5 S-off, you can flash a ENG or rEVO. HBOOT (1.4)
H-boot 1.5 s-off
That didn't work and tried the htcdev unlock but my phone still shows locked.
Have you tried flashing the eng-hboot.zip ??

I recently Upgraded got the HTC Evo 3D so i decided i was going to root the Phone. I notice going to Revolutionary the Hboot I have its not selected I have 1.50 I think I have updated software like a dummy through sprint OTA I seen their was and RUU file to downgrade back to 1.40 is it safe to do so.
Go here: LINK
Downgrade your HBoot and get back to 1.40.
Why don't you just root without downgrading?

After a while of having to use the flash image gui app, it gets pretty annoying not being able to use Nandroid backups. That is why i am trying to downgrade myself.
Makes sense. Then check out the link vdubtx posted.
I would like to have S-Off instead of s-On

You can root, but you also forfeit your warranty to HTC by doing HTC Unlock, that code that you use to unlock it, gives them your device info, including serial number and when you bring it to sprint for repair, they can just look it up and see that you've rooted and voided your warranty.
Any files will work what is the latest 1
none of the RUU working do I have to format my SD card and I am trying to downgrade back to 1.40 which RUU file is i am clueless please help thanks I want S-off
I notice i have 2.17.651.5 already I seen that in the file which RUU file I need to downgrade to HBoot 1.40 please _2.08.651.2 i rem seeing that before my phone got that OTA by mistake.
I have an Evo 3d with HBOOT 1.5 and S-OFF. I want to get to 1.4 S-OFF but I can't find how I can set S-OFF back to S-ON, so I can proceed with the downgrade instructions located here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547695
Search and google are not helping too much as there is too much noise talking about getting to s-off and not trying to get to s-on.
Can you please point me toward a solution to change from HBOOT 1.5 S-OFF to HBOOT 1.5 S-ON?
Thank you.

You can brick your device!
Forgive my ignorance, but if you are s-off, why would you want to do this? I thought 1.5 s-off was just as good as1.4 s-off.
Sent from my PG86100
When set at 1.5 you cant change the splash screen or radio. or other settings.
Also Bricking it is what I need to do to convert it to 1.4 BUT I cant to that until I have S-ON. Correct?
You are s-off so no need to brick, just download this copy it to sd card and flash via bootloader.
Also I could be mistaken, but I believe hboot 1.5 is perfectly ok as long as you are S-off, I am pretty sure you can flash whatever you want.
BTW the download link is taken from OP in this thread, you might want to read through it.

^Exactly this. If you read the first post of that thread (especially the gigantic red letters and what is under that), it will tell you to NOT brick an S-off phone as it will permanently brick it. You just need to flash the 1.4 bootloader.

i had the same problem as OP. i think the issue with 1.5 is even though its s-off, the bootloader is still locked and therefore a recovery cant be flashed and root cant be gained.
Ive been looking for the standalone hboot 1.4 ruu so i didnt have to do what op originally suggested
You have all of my thanks

Ya I didn't even think about revolutionary only working with 1.4 or below that must be the problem. You are welcome for the help, I just figured most of this out about a week ago when I had to do the downgrade after unlocking with htc method.
I would fastboot oem lock then do HTC's unlock again.

You have to HTC Unlock the device first, then do the fastboot oem lock (if you don't it will say "Device was already locked!" message)

If you are S-OFF you can flash any bootloader you want...no need to go back to S-on....I found a few bootloader versions on here and flashed them back and forth when trying different roms.....once your S-OFF you should never return...lol
I was thinking of taking it to Sprint for a replacement cuz of 4G not working, but then I thought, WHEN ON EARTH do I use 4G??? LOL It's always off...
Hey! I have the cdma evo 3d, hboot 1.58, s off using wire trick. i downgraded it using the wire trick to 1.40 and got s off with the wire trick, i had to update it to 1.58 again (long story) and now it wont let me wire trick back to 1.40 because it has s off! ive tried flashing pg86 zips but i get an error, and ive also tried using an ruu but it will not recognize the phone. ive been searching for hours and havent had any luck.

For future reference for anyone who reads this thread, hboots are always flashed through the bootloader by placing the zip on the root of the SD card and naming the file PG86IMG.zip (capitalized like that). They are never flashed through recovery.
I'm on jbear hboot 1.5 if I flash 1.4 will I be able to flash whatever Rom I want?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
i believe hboot 1.4 allows you to flash any ROM except the ones with the new kernel. Your gonna need hboot 1.58 for those.
Where's the 1.40 HBOOT on that page? Is it the one where it's referred to as "ENG Hboot" with this download info:
Filename:
PG86IMG_eng-hboot.zip
Size: 345.77 KB
?
I got a secret to tell you. Are you ready? Its called research. Its on this website. You should be able to find it.

Since hboot 1.15 isn't S-OFF yet, why don't you just run the RUU zip that is for hboot 1.12 to make hboot 1.12 S-ON and run LazyPanda?

Hi!
I want to try out the CM10.1 on my phone, but the recommended HBOOT is 1.49.1107.
I understand, that I can get this hboot after Revolutionary S-OFF, but I'm already s-off with 1.49007 hboot.
Is there any other way, to get that hboot?

Flash that rom, it should work on your hboot. And you answered your own question that you can get that hboot after s-off so download and flash it from bootloader.
EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.
