I wanted to relock my phone in order to upgrade the stock firmware. Is there a way to relock it while keeping it S-Off?
All you have to do is flash one of the zips from here to upgrade your firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673377

I have used Unknownforce method to downgrade hboot to 1.4 and revolutionary to root and s-off. I have been on 1.13.651.7 stock rom till official ics. Can i update ota to ics with new hboot. Will i stay s-off(even though I know i will lose root), and if so can i then through fastboot (pc86img thing) install back to eng hboot. I want s-off but want to use stock unrooted sprint ics. THANKS
This has been answered in multiple threads. Next time please take the time to look.

i think you have to relock with "fastboot writesecureflag 3" and flash the OTA file

No, don't ever do this. There is absolutely no need to ever set that flag and you only risk soft bricking by doing so

I was 1.4 S-OFF with VM firmware and took the OTA. You'll keep the S-OFF. You'll still be able to downgrade and use custom PG86IMG.zip files because I did it to revert back to Sprint firmware and took the OTA again and can confirm once more that the S-OFF does stay.

hello everyone,
so, before i had hboot 1.58 locked i was actually on hboot 1.5 unlocked and obtained s-off via the "wire trick". i recently flashed the latest version of meanrom and flashed a zip with the rom that updated my hboot to the latest version. even though upgrading to hboot 1.58 kept me s-off the bootloader now says "locked". my question is do i need to be unlocked again to flash successfully?

No. S-Off is the only unlock you need. You're good to go. Just keep in mind the older ROMs not based on the Sprint ICS OTA do not play well with HBoot 1.58. Since you're S-Off you can downgrade and re-upgrade your HBoot whenever you want to flash whatever you want.

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).

Hello everyone, I'm currently using stock andorid 2.3.4 and though I could use custom ROM. My problem is, I found many tutorials to unlock my phone and I don't know now which method I should use
This is list of tutorials I found:
Unlock / Root / S-off
Unlock / Root / S-off hboot 1.49.XXXX / S-off hboot 1.53.XXXX / S-on
Unlock / Root Evo 3D Gsm Hboot 1.49.0011> + S-On (HTC Unlock method)
How to unlock/root/s-off and revert back an Evo 3D(ShooterU)
Revert to hboot 1.49.0007 #4 simple steps (s-off required)
Downgrade and Unlock and S-OFF
S-Off & Root EVO 3D GSM All-Hboot 1.49.0007-1.49.0009&18 S-On+CWM
S-Off & Root EVO 3D GSM All-Hboot with out void warranty
S-Off Hboot 1.53.007 (Rearranged)
Easy unlock/relock/lock bootloader without htcdev.com
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What would you recommend for me? My hboot version: 1.49.0018
Should I use htcdev method or downgrade to 0007? What's the difference?
Second thing, 4ext recovery requires root to install, but to root my evo I need a recovery yes? So, I understand I should use cwm first and then change it to 4ext?
And last thing, I don't need s-off now probably, but can I switch from s-on to off in any moment without problem in case of need?
Is your phone GSM or CDMA?

Sorry, forgot to mention. GSM
Actually, i would also like to know...
I'm on ics, and i want to enter in the world of personalized roms.
I had a Moto Defy, and it was way easier to root and install roms...
I used the HTC Unlock method, it's pretty simple, and for s-off i used "S-Off & Root EVO 3D GSM All-Hboot 1.49.0007-1.49.0009&18 S-On+CWM" this one.
00007 is the best
I had the same Hboot. Downgraded it to 1.49.0007 and did Revolutionary. Everything went smooth and was done in few minutes

If you manage to downgrade your Hboot, Revolutionary will work

What's the easiest way to downgrade Hboot, and what version should I look for to use Revolutionary Tool?

So I've tried my best to avoid posting another help me downgrade thred but I just cant manage to downgrade my hboot to 1.4xxx to flash various roms including kitkat. My evo 3D has a relocked S-on bootloader. I unlocked it the htc dev way. currently on ICS stock rom rooted. im not too sure how to get s-off but Ill do that when it comes to it. I'm coming from an xperia play which only required an unlocked bootloader lol I've also tried unlocking the bootloader again using the cmd window but it just says it fails :/
I done it with this tutorial few days ago
