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???

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.

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...
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using Tapatalk
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...

I purchased my Evo 3D USED about a week ago, activated it, and everything BUT 4G works.
I have another 4G phone (Epic 4G) and it connects perfectly fine.
I called sprint twice, once one day after activation, and another a week after activation, both time they lead me through the same process, updating the profile info, resetting the msdn info, etc and on the second call they ruled it as a hardware issue.
Current state of my Evo 3D
S-OFF Revolutionary
1.4 hboot
Running MikVirgin.
Tried Stock Rom
Tried Mean Rom
I've tried going outside and going to other places with 4G, but to no avail 4G does not work.
I turn 4G on,
1. scan
2. connecting to sprint
3. authenticating with sprint
4. disconnected
I "upgraded" from a Samsung Replenish which waived the 10$ surcharge that is put on smartphones, could this be part of my problem?
I am able to return the phone but first want to be sure that the phone is indeed the problem.
Thanks for reading!
Try mwakious 3.0 ROM for HTC EVO 3D or try a RUU to bring you back to stock everything and it will work I hope.

It sounds like he is cdma so that rom won't work. I'm grasping at straws, but it sounds like his phone is not provisioned properly for 4G on the network. It seems like it tries to authenticate and is being denied.

I did call sprint, so wouldn't they have pointed out that maybe my plan, or my phone wasn't correctly configured to connect to 4G, and wouldn't updating the profile correct the problem?

One would hope they were competent. I was guessing based on it said authenticating then disconnect and that you are not paying the surcharge. You may need to take it to the Sprint store for repair.

I wonder if it would put the old bootloader back on...I'm new to HTC and not sure entire what all the ruu does.
I want to try bit don't have anywhere to run linux to unbrick.

No, the RUU will not work.
But you could flash a rom that's built on the old base.

Perfect...thanks for the couple tips. Still learning the htc way of doing things.

No need to temp root. Go to settings - about phone - phone identity. There you will find your new serial number. Just write it down and use it when needed to unlock your phone
Sorry. I do not understand it. How can I unlock with serial number?

IMEI number is there also and it's changed because it's related directly with the motherboard. I did that same thing on a Desire after changing motherboard and it worked just fine
