I rooted and got S-Off using this method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026938
Afterwards I had to do a reset through the phone due to data issues, now its showing S-On, and nothing is working to turn it back off. Running the RUU errors everytime. Any help that can be provided is greatly appreciated.
Did you relock your bootloader? You need to do that before running the RUU.
Well if you followed the link you posted, then you were never s-off. That thread is not a s-off thread. That would explain the s-on. Can you boot the rom.?

My thread you posted only tells you how to unlock the bootloader,install TWRP recovery,and install SuperSU it does not give you S-OFF you need to go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964309 or http://unlimited.io/jewel.htm if you want to get S-OFF

It would not say S-OFF unless you used the DirtyRacun. It says Tampered Unlocked because you used htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader

this is what my hboot says and im not sure why
LOCKED
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.11.0000
why is there a "RL" at the end of s-off
I don't know what the rl stands for and I'd like to know as well, but that is perfectly normal. I recommended the dev hboot if you intend to modify from here on out as unlocking with the htcdev will make it a pain to return to stock. (Relock, s-on, s-off then s-on again)

ive been s-off for a while now and i was on a modifided hboot with ics firmware and ics rom. i decided to downgrade my firmware to the 2.11 GB. after that is when the RL showed up at the end of s-off.
i never unlocked after s-offing and now its is acting like im locked and s-on.
i even had to flash recovery with fastboot as no other method would work.
i am going to unlock and s-off again. i just thought it was weird how it happend
nevermind, i just looked at a pic i had and the "RL" is there. i guess i just never noticed it before
Are you still s-off'd? Did you unlock yet? It's as easy as flashing a patched 2.11 hboot via ph98img to get fastboot commands to work again.
Do not bother to unlock once you have S-off. Trust me, just unwanted trouble.
Just flash a JuopunutBear hboot.
Edit: to elaborate just a bit, if you did need to do a warranty exchange or repair and wanted the bootloader to look stock by saying Locked/S-on:
Coming from Locked/S-off you'd just run a GB RUU and do a few fastboot commands to achieve S-on.
Coming from Unlocked/S-off, you'll need to do the RUU, relock bootloader, and do fastboot commands for S-on... then the whole S-off procedure again... then repeat RUU and fastboot S-on.

Remove/replace the battery and restart the bootloader and try flashing the RUU again. If that doesn't work you can try flashing the RUU.exe from Windows with the bootloader in "fastboot USB" mode.

one thing i have learned is when flashing roms, make sure you have the correct firmware package, and hboot.. because some Roms use the VM Firmware from the leak a few months back, while others use the Sprint Firmware, also depending on the base of the rom you may need to flash a newer or older hboot

That should be the same thing as long as the RUU.zip is extracted from the RUU.exe and properly signed.
But coal is right about needing the bootloader locked/relocked to flash the RUU if you are S-ON (which the OP said he is), regardless of whether you use the RUU.exe or RUU.zip.

I don't think so.
You really should try flashing an RUU (.exe or .zip) with radio S-ON and an unlocked bootloader before you advise other users to try that. If you can do that successfully I will admit I am wrong in this thread. Otherwise, please stop insisting that it will work.
You have been ignoring the fact that the OP is S-ON throughout this thread and that really isn't going to help him at all.

Thank you. I will make one last post just so people are clear on the requirements for flashing an RUU with S-ON.
Here's a quote from mpgrimm2's My Running stock RUU Reference info post:
Note 3: If you previously did the HTC Unlock, you'd have to "RELOCK" BEFORE running the RUU.
To do this from fastboot type: fastboot oem lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That guide has been around for a long time on XDA and another website and it has been used by a lot of people, including myself. If that information was wrong, I'm sure mpgrimm2 would have corrected it by now.
If you want to flash an RUU with S-ON and an unlocked bootloader, make sure that you relock it before flashing or you will get an error.
ramjet73
wloftus, I'm not saying you're lying since as you said, you were the one who did it and you say it worked for you. But, if one is s-on and unlocked, the ruu will error out with error 155. I google searched ruu lock bootloader error and found many sites that say the bootloader must be locked if s-on (see below). But, if one wants to try while leaving the bootloader unlocked, then be my guest. If it works, great; if not, then relock the bootloader.

There's a thread here that discusses, but people seem to have used various methods to solve it from restarting the bootloader to reflashing their unlock token. That's why I recommended in my first post of this thread that you remove/replace the battery and restart the bootoader.

This is probably a very noob question, but I wanted to know what the purple **Locked** icon meant at the top of the bootloader. When I first got S-Off using juopunutbear that actually read juopunutbear, but to get supercid I reverted hboot SPH 1.93.0002 using the s-off toolkit to flash the hboot After getting supercid the bootloader gives me the purple locked icon. I tried to flash the ENG 1.90.2005 hboot with the s-off tookit also but I'm still on 1.93.0002. id just like to know what the locked icon means and if it's something that will prevent me from flashing roms (I currently on Dark Glass ONE 0.6.) Thanks in advance for any assistance
My bootloader reads as such

Thanks! exactly what I was looking for
Hi guys,
Bought a Evo 3D second hand... GSM version.
Got it home, had a custom stock rom on it and had Revolutionary Recovery on it.
I flashed a MIUI rom to it and have been using that fine for a few months, now i have come to install a different rom and it installs fine but won't boot. It either stays on the bootscreen forever or just reboot cycles the phone.
Now the bootloader is unlocked but it doesn't have S-OFF.
I think i need to S-OFF to flash the roms correctly.
Here's whats on it:
Rom: MIUI v2.10.26
Baseband: 11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M
HBOOT: 1.53.0007
Recovery: 4EXT recovery
HBOOT says:

I am able to unlock and relock the bootloader with no problem, and I can get into TWRP, but I cannot flash a rom that 1. finishes flashing or 2. boots at all. There is not currently a rom on the phone because I wiped it.
I don't know what I need to do at this point to get back to stock. I think I may need a 3.15 or 3.16 RUU.exe to make it work but I can't find a link to one. I downloaded an older RUU.exe and it started the process but it threw an error code and said I had to download a different version.
What do I do from here? I can't seem to get the phone to s-off either because I don't understand what to do.

You will need to unlock your bootloader before you do anything else. Until you can get your phone to boot you won't be able to use Moonshine. You need to get your phone working first. Follow the steps in the guide in the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443108
I suggest downloading MeanBean ROM. It has a kernel installer built in to it to facilitate flashing while S-on. From recovery, flash the ROM zip once and reboot to system. The phone should boot to the HTC splash screen, then back to recovery. Flash the ROM zip again and reboot & you should be good to go. Once you're up and running you can proceed to Moonshine:thumbup:
Your issue is the fact that you are currently S-on. On the newer Hboot's (1.15+) the kernel must be flashed separately from the ROM, otherwise your phone won't boot. Once you gain S-off this won't be an issue. For more info click the link in my sig.
