Here's a guide that Ramjet put together for those seeking s-off. Very easy guide and full of information and links
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
Looking at your specs: you are nearly ready to use jupuonutbear wire trick method.
Make sure you have all of the following before attempting
Insulated wire(speaker wire or paperclip wrapped with electrical tape will do)
PC windows or Linux computer
Control bear(based on os,network and computer)
HTC drivers
HTC sync uninstalled
USB debugging enabled
If you have an questions please don't hesitate to ask. Good luck

Thanks for the speedy reply. Do I really need s-off to install cyanogenmod? Also what is Control bear?

Yes you will need to be s-off to flash cm9. There are cm10 ROMs as well if you want to give them a try.
Unfortunately, your current hboot wont allow Aosp ROMs to boot properly so once you gain s-off, you will need to downgrade your hboot 1.5 or lower to run them properly. If you need help with that just ask.
Control bear is the program you will need to run the wire trick and gain s-off

Dear fellow XDA members,
I am in need of some assistance. I just got my HTC EVO VIEW 4G and unfortunately, I accidentally upgraded to Android 3.2 HoneyComb without doing the Revolutionary S-OFF, so currently I did an HTC Dev unlock on my View but it still says "EXPRESS PVT SHIP S-ON RL" and it also updated the "HBOOT-1.14.0005." I tried checking out Revolutionary website and it does not support HBOOT-1.14.0005, so I was wondering what can I do? Do I need S-OFF for anything? I currently have Clockwork Mod installed on my View but it still has S-ON so I was scared about flashing ROMS. I am trying to flash Desensed 1.5 but is scared that I need S-OFF to do so... Can anyone chime in to help me please...
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
PS: BTW, I been searching and reading and rereading.... I just don't understand..
1) You'll need to downgrade to GB
2) you'll then need to run revolutionary for S-OFF
3) you can then re-upgrade to HC S-OFF

I don't think there is anything in the tool, that globatron hasn't already written a guide for on the Flyer. And none of them are hard to do. Anything particular you are trying to do?
ive done the OTA update, and then unlocked using HTC-DEV method becasue my HBOOT is 11.11.0011 and revolutionary didnt liost that hboot as being compatible. Ive been able to install a revolutionary Clockwork mod nad then went ahead and flashed LeeDriods ROM. But now it just starts up with the R2D2 sounds, boots a little and restarts.
Ive been reading and I think it either needs to flashed from fastboot or need to downgrade to GB and relevant hboot.
Also even though I have unlocked the bootlaoder from htc-dev it still says "s-on"?
I'm in the same boat. My flyer is
Hboot 1.11.001
OTA to HC
Unlocked the bootloader using HTC method
Load CW recovery.
Can I just follow the directions to down grade?
sorry to ask people for help again.. but there are alot of guides for unlocking/downgrading/flashing etc. could someone just point me in the right direction of one guide that is applicable to my particular case?
thank you.

I don't know why people keep coming on here and asking why they still have S-On after HTC Unlock. Its never been stated that HTC Unlock gets you S-Off, it just gives you an unlocked bootloader, which is not the same thing.
If you want real S-Off, downgrade and root using globatron's guide:
htthttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307759p://
Then you can upgrade back to HC if you want using the following guide (also by globatron, becuase he's the man). You will also need to have the HC Hboot if you want to flash a HC custom ROM, which is also described in the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
If you want to flash a custom ROM without getting S-Off, from my understanding you can do so using fastboot. But I haven't seen any step-by-step guide. You might start reading here:

It might be just me but I don't see anything in these guides with anything to downgrade the hboot on 16gb Flyer to gain compatibility with Rev. root method. It is not for me personally but seems others here are having that issue. With those newer hboot versions is there even anything that can be done at this time?
My understanding is that when unlocked with HTC dev you can flash recovery then adb push gb hboot while in recovery then run appropriate gb ruu. Once on gb rev s off then update to hc s off

Hi,
I'm asking here as I can't post in developement itself (2 Posts only)
Is it possible to install this rom with S-On? I had to switch to KingCobra, because DT was bootlooping. But KingCobra seems to be dead.
Sorry if this was already answered before.

You cannot flash DT with S-On because you will need to downgrade your hboot to a compatible one (I don't know if you're CDMA or GSM). That's why it is bootlooping.
GSM. Thanks. Is revolutionary still in active developement for Hboot 1.53xx? Most downgrades seem to be a pain in the ass
I do not know if you know about this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 Follow method A,B and D to get S-off. But its a great alternative if you don't want to wait on revolutionary to make a s-off tool.

You cannot flash in bootloader if you are S-On.

Some s-on users it worked...see link
It is a bit ambiguous though. if you see the last page praveenkv1988 says he actually did the wire trick before trying this. No one actually says he did this with s-on they just started from there
If you try it you'll have to do it on your own risk. its untested so you should tread lightly

Sorry, but this is not the way to run up your post count.
Maybe if you said what you have installed, what you are trying to do, and what you have tried so far someone could actually help you.
And there's no need to open two threads simultaneously unless what you are looking for in each is totally unrelated, and there's no way to tell that at this point.

Relocking the bootloader will not update it to a different version. If you did the relock to flash an RUU that will update the bootloader to the stock level associated with the RUU and you will have to HTC unlock it, flash a custom recovery, then root the stock ROM or flash a custom rooted ROM.
I suggest rooting the stock ROM then doing the JuopunutBear wire trick to gain S-OFF before flashing custom ROM's to make everything much easier. There are guides to do all these thing that you can find if you use the advanced search mode for these forums and scan only titles for the topics you need.

I guess people should learn to give as much info as possible

Click on "HTC EVO 3D" next to the "home" icon and right below "PORTAL" in the upper left hand corner of this page, then search titles as indicated in my last post. You should have enough information to get started for what you need to do.
Sorry, but if you can't find what you need at this point then you probably shouldn't be worried about root and S-OFF.

I've got HTC Evo 3D HBOOT 1.53.0007, rooted, S-ON, currently on Sensai ROM 2.0.0, but it seem i cant install any JB ROM. And 4.0.4 (which is Sensai) is biggest version i can get on it. Can anyone help me getting some stock android? Would really appriciate any help
you'll need to downgrade hboot to 1.49 to get AOSP based roms working. And you'll need to s-off your device before you can downgrade. head over to unlimited.io and follow the instructions to get s-off. then downgrade hboot from this thread

First off all do the jupunut bear wire trick to get S-off and after this you can run the older RUU with hboot 1.49.xxx with an .exe file or you can flash it from fastboot

Follow this turorial, but instead of downloading the LeeDroid ROM and SU, you can use this ROM which is pre-rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202422.

The one and only guide for s-off with the wire trick is here.
You don't need a rooted rom (according the description you don't even should use one).
I've done the wire trick to get s-off on 2 different phones now, there's no need to flash a special rom, just stay stock.
