No. There have been some changes and I believe the downgrade method for gaining S-OFF now requires bricking the phone twice before you can run the 1.13 RUU.
If you want to use that method for gaining S-OFF, your best bet would be to read the recent posts in closeone's sticky thread in the Evo 3D Development Forum.

Yet again, ramjet being modest. His guide uses the wire trick, but is very easy for Sprint users.

Okay guys ... I know the rules ... do a search and some reading before you ask a stupid question.
Well, I've been searching and reading for the last two hours and I have not found an answer to this, so here goes:
I am on HC (came that way), I am S-On and I've unlocked on htcdev.com (and can easily re-lock if needed). What I'd like is to get S-OFF, but Revolutionary doesn't support hboot 1.14.xx SO ...
Can I downgrade hboot WITHOUT running the GB RUU? My preference would be S-OFF and rooted (with CWM & SU) but keep HC for now.
If not, would I be correct in running Globatron's HC->GB downgrade, rooting then running his GB->HC upgrade?
Thanks!

EVO 4G
Rooted Revolutionary
TWRP Recovery 2.0
MIUI 1.12.9
Tiamat 4.1.0-sbc+

Stock HC
hboot 1.14.0005
HTC Sense 1.1
Honeycomb requires it's own Hboot, GB hboots are not compatible.
No you can't downgrade without an RUU or my light downgrade methods. Hboot is only part of the story.
I'm wondering if you had any luck Rooting it? I have a same problem, mine is also HC and with 1.14.0005 HBoot, how did you Root it?

I think you need to downgrade to GB, root and S-Off with Revolutionary, then you can upgrade back to HC with globatron's method.

Hi, the same. I'm on hboot 1.53 with S-OFF, running on ICS. As I realized, to be able to downgrade to GB, I need to get hboot 1.49 first. But I have no ideas how to and still searching... any help is much help.
I did it! Here is the steps:

Hi huys, i need to turn back to gingerbread, and then get ota ics, now i have last firmware and hboot. How i can do it? The ruu gb don't work cause hboot version. Thanks.
Are you s-on or s-off? If s-off, flash a lower hboot then try the ruu. If you are s-on, get s-off.

If i have bootloader unlocked i can't use pgm86img.zip
If you are s-off you can, s-on you can't. Which is why I recommended s-off (actually it might be required to downgrade your hboot).

Hi,(First day with my 3D)
Since the same process is used to achieve S-Off on 1.50 and 1.58...
Is there any good reason to NOT update to 1.58 before I S-Off?
Thank you.

No.
Check out this guide if you are planning to get S-OFF. It will update your phone to the Sprint ICS 2.89.651.2 build, including hboot 1.58, before rooting and gaining S-OFF.

Going to read and see if it would be safe to take the ICS OTA in place of the RUU?
Thanks again.

The RUU is a more complete update for the 2.89.651.2 Sprint ICS build than the OTA, and I highly recommend using it if you want a solid base for rooting and S-OFF. Some people have had problems with the HTC unlock required for JuopunutBear S-OFF after taking the OTA, and the guide I linked requires the RUU.exe as a base.

Thank for the link and the info.
I followed the link and got the wire trick on my first attempt (somehow, lol) and now my Evo3D is S-Off with 1.58 and on ICS.
How can i downgrade evo 3d
I have h-Boot 1.57 and s on and ics Stock rom
Google is your friend...
to downgrade you first need to S-OFF your device by using ramjet's guide found Here.
He has made it pretty simple to understand so just following the steps in order and correctly to obtain S-OFF on your device.
Wasn't 1.53 hboot of gsm? I see Ramjet's post about Sprint and Virgin, which are CDMA. If the OP isn't reading that part, he might brick his phone by trying to install cdma software on his gsm...

That's true if he was on hboot 1.53, but the OP said he has hboot 1.57 which is the stock Virgin Mobile bootloader.
