hi, i have evo 3d gsm with bootloader locked, hboot-1.49.0009 S-ON.
I want to know that
1. can i unlock it without using htc method? if yes, how?
2. do i need to s-off it to install custom kernals or custom roms or not?
( i heard that "Flash Image GUI" can install custom kernal without doing s-off.)
3. Can i revert back to stock kernal and rom with "flash image gui"? and get full updates with htc update center??
please help me
I found this in the GSM development stickies. Hope it helps.

Hi, I'm running SenselessROM 2.9.5 based on 2.08.651.2. Yeah I know I'm 2 stock updates behind which is why I have a few questions before I update to a new ROM.
I have HBOOT 1.5 and unlocked using HTC's method. I was wondering if updating to a new ROM was as easy as flashing the .zip in recovery and the kernel img using Image Flash GUI.
Would it be better to flash a stock 2.17.651.5 ROM and then root/unlock/flash?
I think you also need to update your firmware and radio with a zip file from Freeza called his all in one (you can search for it in the dev forum)
I don't know much about 1.5 as I have 1.4 and we would put the file on the root of the sd card and then boot to bootloader and let it update. This would bring you up to date and then you could flash whatever you wanted.
Good Luck
I have some Hboot 1.50 notes in my signature that may help you.
If u flash the new update to get the radio, you have to use roms/kernels based off the update, you can't use ones from prior radio baseband, and you have to relock the bootloader first & flash the full oem Ruu.
Right now you can use 651.2 & 651.3 based roms/kernels but not 651.5 ones.

Ah okay, just to confirm so I don't waste my time... The only way to use 2.17.651.5 based ROMs and Kernels is to flash the latest RUU and then unlock using HTC's method?
Edit: Yup, found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21363331&postcount=49
Thanks guys
But currently u can't downgrade the radio or use any roms/kernels from previous bases.
CleanRom Reborn 1.1 is very good.

hi guys...
basically i had once bootlooped my evo3d and to solve that, i relocked the hboot and reflash using ICS RUU which upgraded my hboot to 1.53.0007... (i just realized it now when i want to downgrade my hboot...)
now my htc is unlocked, rooted, using 4ext recovery, run on mwakious v11.5 with 3.28.707.1 and still s-on...
i have read some tutorials for downgrading 1.53 hboot, however all tutorials tells me to flash the leedroid custom rom first...
is it possible to downgrade my htc with current condition (mwakious ICS rom) following the wiretrick method???
must i flash the gingerbread rom???
thanks before for the answer...

Hello,
i hope someone out there can help me with my problem.
i was trying to flash a custom rom on my evo 3d. i made a few steps threw a few tutorials and the htcdev.com site.
after all that i flashed CyanogenMod 9 on my evo3d via 4EXT. after rebooting i stook in bootloop.
i tried to flash a few other roms like KingCobra, but it did not work at all. i really dont know what to do now.
i also tried to flash other boot images, which did not work too.
my bootloader is unlocked and i got S-ON HBOOT-1.53.0007. at the moment there is no working rom on my device.
i can only work with the bootloader and 4ext.
i hope someone can help me flashing a rom (meanwhile it doesnt matter any more which one) on my htc so i can use it again.
sorry for my english.
Sincerely

not yet... every stock, rooted rom i find in this forum/in other forums is just for S-OFF devices. i would need it for S-ON on evo 3d gsm... u know where i can get one?
i solved the problem by installing kingcobra 1.6 and flashing the kernel in the instruction via adb.
Good. Now that your phone boots, I recommend you s-off. It allows you to flash ROMs without a separate kernel flash. You can also downgrade your hboot which is needed to flash some ROMs.

Hey guys I rooted this phone almost a year ago and installed a custom rom. I remember the procedure being very different from other phones I have done and very complicated. At the moment I am still "S-on" and running Android Revolution HD 1.1.0 (android 2.3.4)
My goal is to install the newest version of Android Revolution ( looking for a very stable rom, so I'm open to suggestions)
The thread mentions extra steps if you are coming from a non-ics rom.
Also Im considering the Energy rom. (this one does not specify any extra complicated steps)
In the current state that I'm in should I run the all in one s-off tool? do I even need that for these roms? what recovery should I flash? (Im currently on a CW based recovery)
Thanks in advance for all the help.
you should first flash back to stock.... then update to ICS... after that you should once again unlock your bootloader and flash 4ext recovery this time.. but you id really suggest updating to ICS before trying to flash any ICS roms..., specially since your still "S-ON"

To my understanding, flashing back to stock requires the stock recovery and a stock image.
I found the stock image here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Amaze_4G/ROMs#Stock_ROMs
but can somebody help me find a stock recovery?

Relock bootloader. Flash RUU for your carrier in bootloader. There are plenty of threads, and 2 stickies describing this

If you really want to install stock ICS RUU, you'll have to downgrade your hboot first (only possible after S-OFF). Easier would be to install an ICS custom ROM and kernel without changing the bootloader.
Is there any tutorial for downgrading and s-off procedure?
Please give me a link if u know of any.
Take a look here... Shouldn't have been hard to find with search...
