I unlocked with HTCdev, installed AmonRa 3.15 recovery, flashed superuser through recovery, than S-offed with Jbear.
My bootloader showed unlocked until I s-offed. The last step of Jbear asked me if I wanted to install the Jbear modified hboot, however I took too long to answer, and it kicked me out. I am showing s-off, but locked.
Here is what my bootloader shows:
***LOCKED***

Whats my next step here? Do I need to load Jbear Hboot from unlimited.io for GB? I'm still on the latest GB OTA for the Rez.
Im going to run the ICS RUU to get the complete leak with radios, fireware and everything. So I will than need Jbear Hboot for ICS?
no, you dont need the Jbear Hboot

S-Off locked is the normal state after doing S-off. Be sure not to unlock your phone -- you will not be able to get back to "LOCKED" without doing S-Off again. You can either ICS RUU, then install the Jbear Hboot (be sure to use the right firmware version), or ICS RUU, then flash your recovery of choice via PH98IMG.zip. The first option gives you the normal fastboot commands. The second gives you a custom recovery with a stock Hboot.
Edit: Here's a post with the AR 3.15 in flashable zip format: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26261862&postcount=746
Just rename to PH98IMG.zip, put on the root of your SD card, and flash in bootloader.
Sweet, I hit S-off on my first shot. all while having sweaty hands, and checking my bank account to make sure I could afford a new phone.
It was far easier than I had expected.

this is what my hboot says and im not sure why
LOCKED
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.11.0000
why is there a "RL" at the end of s-off
I don't know what the rl stands for and I'd like to know as well, but that is perfectly normal. I recommended the dev hboot if you intend to modify from here on out as unlocking with the htcdev will make it a pain to return to stock. (Relock, s-on, s-off then s-on again)

ive been s-off for a while now and i was on a modifided hboot with ics firmware and ics rom. i decided to downgrade my firmware to the 2.11 GB. after that is when the RL showed up at the end of s-off.
i never unlocked after s-offing and now its is acting like im locked and s-on.
i even had to flash recovery with fastboot as no other method would work.
i am going to unlock and s-off again. i just thought it was weird how it happend
nevermind, i just looked at a pic i had and the "RL" is there. i guess i just never noticed it before
Are you still s-off'd? Did you unlock yet? It's as easy as flashing a patched 2.11 hboot via ph98img to get fastboot commands to work again.
Do not bother to unlock once you have S-off. Trust me, just unwanted trouble.
Just flash a JuopunutBear hboot.
Edit: to elaborate just a bit, if you did need to do a warranty exchange or repair and wanted the bootloader to look stock by saying Locked/S-on:
Coming from Locked/S-off you'd just run a GB RUU and do a few fastboot commands to achieve S-on.
Coming from Unlocked/S-off, you'll need to do the RUU, relock bootloader, and do fastboot commands for S-on... then the whole S-off procedure again... then repeat RUU and fastboot S-on.
So I bought a phone from a guy on Craigslist, while it works fine, there's something weird here. What I want to do is have it S-OFF, but here's whats up:
Bootloader is HBOOT 2.21.0000. It says ***UNLOCKED*** but also it says ***TAMPERED***. Also it says VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
Everything seems to be working fine; it currently has CleanROM 4.3 on it. I'm afraid to start doing anything until I know where to start. I *THINK* what I need to do is the following:
1. fastboot oem lock the bootloader
2. Flash latest ICS leak RUU twice.
3. Follow the Juopounut guide for S-OFF using the 2.21.0000 modified HBOOT
Does this sound right? Thanks for your help!
If its already unlocked, stay unlocked. Relocking it is going backwards toward s-off. Once s-off you will have a locked bootloader. I did not install the jbear modified hboot. I installed Amon ra as a ph img after s-off and ics ruu
You should just follow the jbear s-off instructions since you already have unlock
S-off prior to ics is my preferred method, if something goes wrong with the ruu, you're stuck.
Also, no need to unlock once you have s-off
I got it. I wanted to go back to the newest leak and then proceed. I flashed the latest leak RUU and then re-unlocked.
The ***TAMPERED*** appears once I flashed the amon-ra recovery. Guess thats normal on the ICS builds...
Mine does not show tampered. I am s-off, locked, ics 3.14 firmware with ruu hboot, amon ra recovery, running newts one xxx

Yep mine doesn't either. I'm just guessing but I think it might only been the 3.11.605.22 leak that did that.

Mine doesn't show it now that its truly S-OFF. Thanks all!
I have read pages and pages from the Android Development forum for the HTC Evo 4G LTE and I can't seem to find a solution that works for me because going S-OFF or re-locking bootloader and loading RUU does not seem feasible for my situation.
The phone has custom recovery (TWRP) and we successfully loaded Viperboy's deodexed 3.15 stock ROM.
Baseband is 1.02.12.0427 (super outdated)
This phone was bought second hand and is a HTC dev unlocked phone, S-ON
I would like to update the baseband to 1.12.11.1200 and update the firmware to 3.16
Caveats: I don't have access to the phone, my friend can reload custom ROMs through TWRP, but beyond that I don't think we can go through Dirty Racun and S-Off, I don't know how we can easily check the HBOOT version to determine if the HBOOT version is 1.12
What would happen if we accepted the Sprint OTA? Are we SOL with the baseband because we are S-ON?
Is there any way we can get on MeanBean 3 or stock rooted 3.16?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
I wouldnt accept the OTA update to 3.16
I actually did just that when I relocked my phone on Saturday and had all sort of problems after that. Now, I'm not too sure you would even be able to install the update being that your phone is unlocked *citation needed*.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2135670 - talks about the 3.16 OTA problems
thanks, I've definitely advised my friend to stay away from the OTA and disregard it. I think we are experiencing call/wifi issues due to the old baseband. I wonder what are the next possible steps to move forward from here...

1. Stay on this baseband and deal with it.
2. Relock and RUU your way up to 3.15 (stay away from 3.16)
3. S-off and Flash a couple full firmware zips.
Sadly I think those are your only option. And to check your hboot just boot into bootloader. Hold volume down when powering on.

Thanks, I think that seems realistic, I'm concerned that if I relock through HTCDev, I read that some email/password might go to the original seller of the phone (ebay) for confirmation code, so I don't want to get stuck halfway
I am definitely crossing my fingers for HBoot v1.12, to confirm, once I check my version in the bootloader, I guess I can escape without taking any of the menu options (checking YouTube, I'll just go to recovery, enter TWRP, reboot, system).

Relocking the phone is done through fastboot on the computer. Nothing to do with HTC. And Dev unlocked means you get an unlock token from HTC to the email that you signed up with. So if you make your own account on HTC dev and request a token, it should send nothing to the other owner.
And sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by having Hboot 1.12. You mean only flashing the radio through recovery? If that's what you mean than I can't help with that. Not sure how that works or if there are problems with that.
great news! I had someone take screen shots of the HBoot (v.1.12.0000) and TWRP (v2.2.1) menu
Bootloader shows:
Code:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
JEWEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.12.0000
RADIO-1.02.12.0427
OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405
eMM-boot
So as far as I know, I'm going to make sure there's nothing wrong with the TAMPERED, and then I can flash 1.12.11.1210 through Captain_Throwbacks Radio Only zip and then looks for a 3.16 custom firmware compatible with S-On since I'm on build number 3.15.651.16 CL124461.
I'd appreciate anyone to chime in if I'm going down a bad path here. Cheers!

You've indeed unlocked the bootloader properly but this only let's you flash recoveries and custom roms. You have to S-OFF the phone to update firmware via bootloader. You're other option would be to RUU which would upgrade the firmware and software and that CAN be done with S-ON, however there is a problem with the update which disables touch input so you should either wait for a dev to make custom 3.16 rom and forget about the firmware OR wait for a fix from HTC and run that RUU whenever it comes out.

Thanks xlxcrossing! I messaged Captain for a a recovery flash for the baseband only and he said my approach is no good either. So seems like I have to RUU to get off 1.12 anyways since LazyPanda is not supported and DirtyRacun starts at 1.15
So I am looking at the UNLIMITED.IO site now
step 1) relock via fastboot
step 2) RUU 1.15 or 1.19 (so this means my firmware/software/hboot will be updated as well?)
From here if I stop, I will be S-ON so I can...
option 1) RUU 2.09 and stay on 3.15
option 2) unlock bootloader from HTCDev and stay S-ON
option 3) unlock bootloader from HTCDev and DirtyRacun S-OFF (which actually seems like a very simple process once unlocked)

Sent you a PM
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Just wanted to say thank you all for the support and advice.
I finally walked my friend over gtalk and successfully achieved S-OFF after relock, 1.15 RUU, unlock with HTC DEV, dirtyracun
Then updated full firmwares incrementally to 3.16
Then while trying to load MeanBean, realized we lost TWRP (and possibly root, need to confirm), I can only guess that went away with the RUU? That's not really documented anywhere unless that's a known thing.
TWRP installation via goomanager failed (maybe due to lack of root), I was able to find TWRP v2.3.1 bootloader, installed that and installed MeanBean 3.0.4
I think that makes us up to date, however we will likely install SuperSU via TWRP once we customize and ensure the phone is running smoothly.
Thanks again all!
Super su is included with the ROM

Hi guys,
Bought a Evo 3D second hand... GSM version.
Got it home, had a custom stock rom on it and had Revolutionary Recovery on it.
I flashed a MIUI rom to it and have been using that fine for a few months, now i have come to install a different rom and it installs fine but won't boot. It either stays on the bootscreen forever or just reboot cycles the phone.
Now the bootloader is unlocked but it doesn't have S-OFF.
I think i need to S-OFF to flash the roms correctly.
Here's whats on it:
Rom: MIUI v2.10.26
Baseband: 11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M
HBOOT: 1.53.0007
Recovery: 4EXT recovery
HBOOT says:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53.007

Lock your bootloader with the "fastboot oem lock" command and run the RUU again.

Flashed the stock RUU, now i'm trying to unlock the bootloader again via HTCDev.com and when i copy the Identifier Token it says its too short. I am pretty sure i'm copying it correctly
solved... There were spaces in the box
So i am now S-OFF, i need to downgrade my HBOOT still...
How do i do that?
Right, managed to downgrade the HBOOT but still, when i flash AOKP it stays on the splashscreen forever....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
use this hboot. and wipe everything(data and cache) before flashing aokp
Just want to clarify. I have this
Locked
Monarudo pvt ship s-on rh
hboot 1.57.00000
radio 1.02.01.0818
openDSP v12.120.274.0909
os 4.09.605.5
emmc boot 2048mb
If i understand correctly there is no way for me to unlock the bootloader or s-off or even flash the ROM to aa earlier version.
I've tried firewater, rumrunner, moonshine, tried manually flashing with fastboot/adb and a million different zips. Each return error 12.
Ive watched a ton of videos and read a lot. The only thing I think I found that would be useful is sunshine but even that is not updated to 3.0 yet which supposedly will be able to s-off and unlock the 1.57.
Either I missed something or I need to wait till sunshine updates.
Just need someones' quick thought on this because maybe i overlooked something.
