The new kernel for ICS requires 1.58.

1.58 hboot is ONLY compatible with the ICS rom and kernel. If you want to go back to a GB rom for example, you will have to downgrade your hboot.
Does the new firmware play nice with older gb roms? I havnt tried it out yet just curious.

Yes, except for the 1.58 bootloader which is technically part of the firmware.

Just run the RUU of whatever firmware you want to be on. That should fix it

Follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438. This should answer all your questions.
so this guide wont change my hboot??
You can flash Common Sense. Im pretty sure it uses the leaked VM kernel. You can flash any ROM with hboot 1.4 except a 2.89 kernel

You can always change Hboot easily if you're S-OFF. Not a big deal at all.
Search. A member has posted multiple Hboot's for your flashing pleasure in one of the posts.

The guide will change your hboot to 1.58 since it flashes the Sprint ICS RUU, but once you are S-OFF you can flash whatever hboot you want from this post.
If you are not planning to gain S-OFF, you can only change your bootloader by flashing an RUU.

so once i update my phone to ics and have hboot 1.58 and get s-off i can go back to 1.50 s off??

Yes, if you want 1.50 for some reason. I'd personally recommend either the engineering (ENG) bootloader if you plan to run GB and AOSP based ROM's or the JBear Sprint ICS version if you are only going to run Sense based ICS ROM's. See mpgrimm2's thread on bootloader differences for more info.
ramjet73
i know this is a dumb question, but in what mode do i put my phone once its plugged in for the ruu??
Fastboot USB in the bootloader is preferred.

Hboot goes with firmware.
You can't just flash a different Hboot & expect the phone to boot.
Youll need to change the firmware to the one that corresponds the hboot of your choice.

That hasn't been our experience on the CDMA model of the Evo 3D. In fact, the GB and AOSP ROM's won't boot when using the bootloader (1.58) that matches the most current CDMA firmware.
Check out this thread for extensive information on the compatibility of various bootloaders with different ROM's for the CDMA Evo 3D. And everything was tested using the most recent Sprint ICS (2.89.651.2) firmware.

What I meant to say is that a GB hboot will only work with GB firmware & ICS hboot will only work with ICS firmware.
If the above condition is not met, then the phone will not boot into the ROM. That's all I meant.
I didn't say anything about the Hboot & ROM not matching.

Not true on the Evo 3D.
With HBoot 1.5, which is a stock GB bootloader, flashed on the CDMA version we can boot GB ROM's even with the latest ICS firmware, but not with the ICS 1.58 HBoot installed.

Won't the partitions be almost completely different between GB & ICS?

No. They are different between the CDMA and GSM models because the CDMA version has WiMax 4G and the GSM version doesn't, but the same between GB, ICS and JB. We use the same wipe methods regardless of what version of Android is being installed.

Are there any aosp ROMs that will work with the new firmware/boot? If not how can I install a lower boot to work with them?

not that i know of. you can try this
Nope. Just senseless ROMs. If you want an AOSP ROM just downgrade. Its not hard at all.

If your signature is current and you are still S-ON the only way to change bootloader is to flash an RUU. If you plan on changing bootloaders in the future it would be better to get S-OFF and then you can change pretty easily whenever you want.

has anyone found a JB rom that works with hboot 1.58?

No. There are no known jb ROMs that work with 1.58. Well no aosp kernels that work with 1.58. Aosp kernels have an offset headers that are not compatible with 1.58. Its really not that big of a deal. Just downgrade your hboot to 1.40, 1.30 or 1.04 eng.

Nope. None will. You need 1.5 or lower.
Nope. Heres how to downgrade your Hboot to flash an AOSP based ROM

It requires S-Off.
