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.

I was wondering if there was a ruu that i could use to upgrade to ics without messing up my hboot

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.

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.

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.

i am new to this and just unlocked, rooted, s-off my evo 3d cdma and now looking to put a rom on it just wondering if there are any jelly bean roms out that work with the hboot 1.58? i tried pacman and miui but it just goes into bootloop. any ideas why or if there are any?
None of the GB or AOSP based ROM's will boot with the 1.58 hboot and there are no JB Sense ROM's for the Evo 3D yet. Since you are S-OFF you can download your bootloader with the instructions in this post, then you should be able to flash and boot JB AOSP ROM's like PacMan. I recommend using either the JBear GB (1.50.5050) or engineering (ENG 1.04) hboot for the AOSP ROM's, but other hboots that are 1.50 or lower will work.

I will try that now AMD see how it goes. Thanks. Posting if need help I have 4ext as recovery and did the jbear. Hope it works.

hboot 1.58
hboot 1.58 from what I know, is only is only compatible with 2.89 kernal.. and I have not found a jb rom compatible.. You will have to downgrade to 1.4 or 1.04. I haven't done this yet but very close.

Downgrade to hboot 1.50 or less.
It requires S-Off.

It is if you want to run GB and/or AOSP based ROM's.

Thanks a lot!!!!
Hi, I'm looking for compatible roms for my htc evo 3d hboot 1.53.007 that is s-on.
Most of the customs roms that I'm looking for requires hboot 1.49 and I don't know how to downgrade my hboot to suit them.
Can anyone give me a list or link to these roms that doesn't require me to downgrade but just use 4ext?

Any ICS Sense ROM will be fine. Just be sure to enable smartflash in recovery before you flash
