Ok, so I've been digging around the web trying to find a guide for downgrading from hboot 1.58 to 1.40. I have been seeing blips here and there about bricking it twice but not been able to find a definitive guide, only that it's rumored possible.
Does anyone know for sure?

You are already S-OFF so just use the info in this post to change your bootloader (hboot).

Thank you, I kept coming across that page but wasn't sure about it. I'll give it a try.
I'm on JBear's 1.58 hboot and I just used the 1.5,1.40,1.50,etc hboot PG86IMG's and flashed through fastboot just fine with no problems.
I decided to start with the 1.04 eng hboot and have had success so far. Thank you both for your help. I'll see how things go the next few days.

Has anyone achieved this? I think I just did accidentally.
Right now I'm in a custom recovery (teamwin) with 1.50 Hboot S-OFF.
Well, you can still get full root with Hboot 1.50 even through HTCDev method.
What you can't get is S-Off. You can still be on HBOOT 1.50 with S-Off if you updated to HBOOT 1.50 from 1.40 while you were S-Off.
Even then, there's still a downgrade for HBOOT 1.50 users.
What you probably did was updated from hboot 1.30 or 1.40 with s-off to 1.50 and kept the S-Off like you should have.

You either had s-off to begin with, oryou had s-off to begin with. You're good to go, no need to downgrade the bootloader unless you want eng hboot. 1.5 means nothing, s-on is the problem. But you're s-off.
I unlocked with HTCdev, installed AmonRa 3.15 recovery, flashed superuser through recovery, than S-offed with Jbear.
My bootloader showed unlocked until I s-offed. The last step of Jbear asked me if I wanted to install the Jbear modified hboot, however I took too long to answer, and it kicked me out. I am showing s-off, but locked.
Here is what my bootloader shows:
***LOCKED***
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.11.0000

Whats my next step here? Do I need to load Jbear Hboot from unlimited.io for GB? I'm still on the latest GB OTA for the Rez.
Im going to run the ICS RUU to get the complete leak with radios, fireware and everything. So I will than need Jbear Hboot for ICS?
no, you dont need the Jbear Hboot

S-Off locked is the normal state after doing S-off. Be sure not to unlock your phone -- you will not be able to get back to "LOCKED" without doing S-Off again. You can either ICS RUU, then install the Jbear Hboot (be sure to use the right firmware version), or ICS RUU, then flash your recovery of choice via PH98IMG.zip. The first option gives you the normal fastboot commands. The second gives you a custom recovery with a stock Hboot.
Edit: Here's a post with the AR 3.15 in flashable zip format: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26261862&postcount=746
Just rename to PH98IMG.zip, put on the root of your SD card, and flash in bootloader.
Sweet, I hit S-off on my first shot. all while having sweaty hands, and checking my bank account to make sure I could afford a new phone.
It was far easier than I had expected.
After successfully downgrading my HBOOT to 1.12 and achieving s-off, is there any advantage functionally in flashing HBOOT 1.15 or 1.19
since you will still be s-off, is there a difference.

It would be a good idea to flash the lazy panda hboot found here http://www.unlimited.io/lazypanda.htm as far as the other hboots I'm not sure I have not tried but as long as you update your firmware bits you will be up to date
No real reason to update your hboot once you're s-off...except for the lazy panda hboot the previous poster mentioned. It allows fastboot commands, but it's not required to complete s-off.
Sent from my EVO LTE
So I've been searching all over the interwebs and all over this site on info as to how to get my evo 3d CDMA (virgin) to s-off so i can run JB roms.
Ive tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563342 But i keep getting stuck. Ive done the mainver downgrade but it seems that i cant find the correct RUU. all the links are pretty much dead and the shipped-roms.com link only has the sprint RUU's. My Hboot version also seems to be holding me back. I always relock the bootloader when i attempt an RUU but once again with no stock rom i get bootloops and a security warning then.
My current setup:
Shooter XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.57.0000
eMMC-boot
April 20 2012 17:39:22
mainver is 1.0.0.0.0
I am also using venom3d for my everyday rom.... I DO NOT have a stock rom nandroid
any help would be appreciated

Everything you need is in this guide. Since you've already downgraded your mainver the RUU included should flash correctly.
Make sure to use the VM version of the all-in-one file.

Thanks ramjet. For somereason redoing your post for a 500th time got me to s-off Hboot 1.57.
I assume now i just have to install an Hboot from your post in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817513
Would you recommend PG86IMG_1.50-hboot or PG86IMG_JBear_1.50.5050_hboot_GB being that most JB roms (esp midnight's) refuse to work on 1.57

I'd recommend the JBear GB 1.50.5050 version since that will let you run more fastboot commands without having to unlock the bootloader.

Just want to clarify. I have this
Locked
Monarudo pvt ship s-on rh
hboot 1.57.00000
radio 1.02.01.0818
openDSP v12.120.274.0909
os 4.09.605.5
emmc boot 2048mb
If i understand correctly there is no way for me to unlock the bootloader or s-off or even flash the ROM to aa earlier version.
I've tried firewater, rumrunner, moonshine, tried manually flashing with fastboot/adb and a million different zips. Each return error 12.
Ive watched a ton of videos and read a lot. The only thing I think I found that would be useful is sunshine but even that is not updated to 3.0 yet which supposedly will be able to s-off and unlock the 1.57.
Either I missed something or I need to wait till sunshine updates.
Just need someones' quick thought on this because maybe i overlooked something.
