Not been in this situation personally, but as far as I know, since you are s-off, you should be able to flash a recovery and then use it to flash a custom ROM that is already rooted. You may be able to install the Superuser app without having to go through all that, but, like I said, I am not 100% sure.
look
install superuser through cmd prompt on ur computer..there isnt any other way around it..just google it and its super easy
Look in the sticky, flash the 1.4 HBOOT.
Find the TWRP thread, flash that.
Flash a ROM of your choice.

If all you're wanting is to root the stock ROM, flash a custom recovery, then flash the superuser.zip.
hboot 1.5 and s-off
Thanks everyone. My bootloader is locked and I'm 1.5 and s-off. So if i flash hboot 1.4 on my sd card. then a recovery along with a rom. That should get me back?

If your boatloader is locked you can't install a custom recovery or a Rom.

I believe so. You may even be able to downgrade to hboot 1.4 I believe.

I always hit the damn thanks button instead of the quote! You got a free thanks
Anyways, go this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192306 and download the SHIP 1.40 hboot (unless you want the ENG one, then download that). Follow the instructions in that post, and flash it. Just a simple PG86IMG.zip.
This guy did the same thing as you, and had success rolling back to 1.40. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17993045&postcount=97
Good luck.
Hey guys. A while back my phone got screwed up I had to flash the ruu to get it going again. Originally I was on hboot 1.4 rooted/s off via revoked. After I updated with the ruu for the newer radio it now has hboot 1.5 but still says s off. I wasn't able to flash a Rom via clockwork or twrp. So I have a stock Rom without root and I can't figure out where to go from here.
Any ideas?

don't know for sure but IMO you will have to unlock via HTC dev.com, then you will be able to flash anything like you did before . And to root your ROM, just flash a zip file containing superuser apk and binary after doing the above steps.
Also you can revert back to hboot 1.4 ( don't know how exactly ) but don't follow the downgrade thread by unknownforce as you are already s-off
S-Off supercedes being locked. You should still be able to flash roms and have superuser. I was on unlocked on 1.4 with s-off and went to 1.5 showing locked but with s-off and everything still flashes and superuser works fine.
s-off should allow you to do as you please with your phone.. you should still be able to flash w/e recovery you want and w/e rom you want w/o fastboot into recovery..
having s-on in 1.5 is a pain.. but if you already have s-off.. you can just as easily flash back down to 1.4 or even to 1.04 the eng hboot..
but once you're s-off, which you already are, you can do as you please with your device.. you don't need htc dev for it..
EDIT: you might just have to reflash your recovery.. use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then boot into it... recovery.img has to be in the same folder as your adb and fastboot files..
on so i dont know if i need to have s-off i used "hasoon 2000s htc amaze 4g all in one kit" to load cwm and i know have root access and unlock hboot now when i go in to hboot it says on top unlocked but the it says
"ruby pvt ship s-on rl"
hboot-1.93.0002
emmc-boot
my question is if i want to load a custom rom on it will it need s-off
because thats why i used hasoon all in one kit but im not sure if its a issuse to load
a custom rom and i need s-off can anyone show me an easy way or anyway if possible thanks

you dont need to be s-off to load a custom rom. s-off is just recently available and people have been flashing roms for a very long time on the amaze. s-off allows you to change you splash screen as well as other things. you should still be able to flash a rom being s-on
You with need to change to 4ext recovery if you're son, clockwork mod cannot flash kernels while s-on, unless you know how to use fast boot to do it manually.

The manual method you mention is just renaming the file and putting in on the external SD card, then going into fastboot, right? I am S-On, and I simply flashed the leaked ICS ROM using that method.
EDIT: I've considered 4ext, but since my CWM is working fine, I haven't switched. Is there some good reason I should change to 4ext?

The manual method is to flash the kernel via fastboot using adb. The reason I said 4EXT is because it's the only recovery that flashes kernels while s-on, I said that in my previous post.
Ah, thanks.
Amaze 4G S-On on HTC ICS ROM
HI,
I am not able to make S-OFF. I am on HTC leaked ICS ROM and I want to go back to Stock ROM of ICS. Can I go back on Stock ROM or something stable and better on ICS without having S-OFF and bricking the phone.
Regards,

So your on a Rom or the ruu because the leaked ruu is a stock rom

Hey! A while ago I rooted my phone using the revolutionary method. Later I reverted back to stock and locked the bootloader. However the S-OFF remained. A few minutes ago I had 1.53 HBOOT and ICS stock. But now I got HBOOT 1.49.0007 and I wanna use revolutionary tool to unlock bootloader yet again. But now it gives me an error saying, "Failed to get root! "
Is there another way to get rooted WITHOUT using the HTC method since I already got S-OFF and 1.49.0007 HBOOT? I don't feel comfortable using HTC's method....

I think the "Failed to get root!" message is because HTC patched the tacoroot exploit in the ICS builds that was being used for temp root with the GB builds.
Why do you want to unlock the bootloader? If you want to run the additional fastboot commands you should be able to just flash the JBear version of the current bootloader, or does that cause problems on the GSM model?

Since you are S-OFF you can flash whatever bootloader you want. I don't know revolutionary method, I was using jbear to get S-OFF. After S-OFF i flashed RUU and I was on stock 1.53.007 locked bootloader with S-OFF and i couldn't root my phone. I've flashed hboot from this site:
http://unlimited.io/jbhboots.htm
There you have 2 versions of GSM Evo 3d hboots. After that you can do everything with your phone. Good luck!

I contacted unlimited.io's support in the IRC and downloaded the ICS HBOOT - 1.53.5353 and flashed that. Now it seemes to work!
Anyway, thanks for your answer! If they wouldn't have responded then you would have been my savior!
Okay, problem number two.... I have flashed CWM now and I installed Super User inside recovery mode but I don't get root access? I downloaded the signed package from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991929
Any ideas?
I have tried to repair premissions after the install of Super User. I have also updates Super User from Market after Install due to force close after the fresh install from CWM
Link you gave leads to this topic Go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466
Follow method B (steps 1 to 14 if you want to be on rooted stock) and it should be ok. If I remember correctly, there is a 4ext recovery to download, maybe try this one. Good luck!
Can i please get some help with my evo 3d?
I have done everything step by step and cant get any AOKP CM10 roms to install and run.
I did the RUU to stock (the newest one 2.89.651.2) I got it rooted, s-off with Juopunutbear hboot 1.58.5858 and 4EXT recovery.
Every rom i install will NOT boot. What have I done wrong? Please help me.

Change your bootloader (hboot) to something lower that 1.57 and it should work.
My recommendation is the JBear 1.50.5050 version.

So if I downgrade the hboot then any ROM will install? Trying to install an AOKP rom.
