So, there is the situation -
I have got a HTC Evo 3D (GSM) European version i guess, becuase on the box it says "This equipment may be operated in: AT BE .... DK EE FR DE GR...." basicly its European
So to the problem,
I Need to revert it back to Stock, I mean everything, because im going to give it away and the person needs it stock like just from the shop, no root, no S-OFF no bootlocker unlocked, so my Question is - what i have to do? and before you spam me - check the tuts, search the forums, i have done that but i didnt get a good hang of it so i want real person to person explaining me stuff, so i dont brick it or anything.
Some info on phone :
Bootlaoder unlocked with HTC method,
-Revolutionary- shows up in bootloader
S-OFF
HBOOT-1.49.1107

Kernel-Buttered Toast ICS​
Anyone please?
First of all do u have original official ICS ruu rom? At this moment its so hard to download that.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda app-developers app
Simple.
download RUU or PG86IMG.zip (Make sure its the correct one for your device)
Once the update has been applied and your phone reboots go into bootloader, enter fastboot usb then in cmd type in "fastboot oem lock" without the ""
Your phone should now be back to 100% stock.
Thanks but i dont have an original RUU, any hints where can i get and how do i know its right for my device, what do i look for?
P.S. ok i think i got the RUU i guess this will do? RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.exe
anyway should i just execute and install it or i need to pull the rom.zip or something out of it and flash that? btw i want the stock kernel too.
P.S.S. and i hear that fasboot oem lock will do only the re-locked thing on the bootloader, is there any chance to get it locked?
P.S.S.S. and what about S-OFF will locking make it S-ON,
sorry im on deadline here :/
1.folow steps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172

Ru. The ruu. Once it finishes your phone will reboot go into bootloader & type the command
Because you are s-off it will show as locked & not relocked
You're welcome.
Ok i'm now on Stock Rom from installing stock RUU im HBOOT-1.53.0007 S-ON but Relocked, is there any chance to get it Locked?

not yet rooted but i unlock bootloader & try to s-off but not supported hboot 1.49.0018 so i try to downgrade h-boot but not success & its now hanging on htc screen & rebooting time and again so plz if u have idea
The only hboot number supported is 1.49.0007 and 1.49.0008 anything above this require HTC dev so youve done that next you need to install a custom recovery next download a Rom and flash it next you will start the process off downgrading of your hboot to any of the hboots thats stated above once this is done your ready for alpharevolutionary.io then and only then you will be able to reach the almighty and famous s off in this order
sent from my EVO 3D s off using xda premium
And remember, if you screw up anywhere during the process, you can always download the GSM RUU, relock, and flash it through bootloader.
I wouldn't advise relocking unless you're completely stumped since i dont think you can unlock again after that.
These steps will get you completely back to stock.
I want to first say thanks to the unlimited.io team for making S-OFF possible.
Secondly, by following these instructions you are acknowledging that should something go wrong and you brick your device, I am not at fault nor are the developers of the S-OFF method for the HTC RUBY. Follow these instructions at your own risk! I am NOT a dev, just stupid enough to be the first one (I think) To try this. I am not going to give instructions on how to use fastboot, if you are S-Off, then you should already know.
Third, you WILL be able to re-unlock your bootloader and regain S-OFF after you have followed these instructions. If you want to do so, there are other threads on how to do that.
And 4th, I have only tried this on a tmobile branded device. I have no idea if this works on any other device. I think it should, but I don't know for sure. If anybody wants to give it a try and let me know, then i will update the OP.
Now to the steps.
1. Download the stock ruu from here
2. Lock your bootloader by using the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock"
3. Reboot to system
4. Flash the stock RUU you downloaded by placing it in the root of your external sd card and renaming it PH85IMG.zip and rebooting to bootloader.
5. Once you have the stock rom reinstalled, set the security lock by using fastboot command " fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
6. Profit?
That's it!

I should have clarified, the steps are if you want to go completely stock, will update the OP.
Will it read "relocked" or "locked"? I thought being "completely stock" was not totally possible because it would always say "relocked".

No it wont. Sometimes when you flash ROMs after the ics leak it'll go back to locked . Only if you do it manually through fast boot it will say re-locked.

You can't downgrade back to GB once you've updated to ICS, if that's what you're trying to do. At least not very easily.

I dont know a way for going back to stock without being s=off. You could possibly flash the newest official release (ics, one that hasnt been modified) then relock your bootloader, but i think that it will show relocked rather than locked. Worth a try though.
Okay thanks for the input guys. It isn't a huge deal, I just didn't think there was enough "goodies" rom-wise for ICS, but there are some hardworking devs on here. Looking forward to the Sense 4.0 rom.

I spent 3 hrs trying to solve the relocked and locked issue until finally I got it resolved. with the manual option to lock with hasoon tool, places *** RELOCKED *** in hboot, which clearly and obvious for any technician to see you tampered with the hboot files from stock. my reason for doing this to get my warranty back.
how did i fixed "RELOCKED" to show as *** LOCKED *** ? after the hasoon tool 3.2 relocked the bootloader i was challenged, but decided the first step would be switching the security off and on (s-off/ s-on)
first return to stock RUU through boot loader, then adb command fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 to enable s-on. *toggled it on
i reinstalled juopunutbear s-off again carefully following the instructions. with a paperclip grounding the phone and selecting for juopunutbear's modified files "y" enter.
then your *** RELOCKED *** shows as *** juopunutbear *** in hboot. (at first i thought I dig myself a bigger hole)
I used Hasoon tool 3.2 again to RELOCK bootloader, with the intention of reinstall the stock RUU again. however it still showed as *** juopunutbear *** with the message its already locked.
Now I installed the the Stock RUU again from bootloader. once complete back to the hboot, to show *** LOCKED *** and s-off Progress!!!
repeat enable s-on instructions by writing adb: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3,
now shows
*** LOCKED ***

how do we delete the line -OpenADSP-02.6.0.2226.00.0202?
it was added with the juopunutbear s-off hboot files, without that file the hboot would be 100 percent legit for the warranty!

No need to get rid of that. New phone from T-Mobile with HBOOT 1.93 and it had that line it . It looks like 1.90 is the one that doesn't have that line. Because my wife's phone is on 1.90 and she doesn't have it.
I'm going to be following the method in a few days. Can you guys confirm this all works as it should?
I had my HTC amaze unlocked with s-off and a modded hboot I then updated to a new ICS firmware to run ICS however when the firmware flashed to my phone it locked my phone and reset my hboot but still kept s-off. Is there anyway to unlock my phone again? If anyone has any help please let me know I already tried to unlock it through HTdev website and it did not work!!!
If you are s=off, then you don't need to unlock your bootloader. I'm assuming you have eng bootloader, and with that, you don't need to unlock anything.

If any of you read correctly, he said he unlocked it before, therefore, all he has to do is place the unlock_code file in hasoon's tool's data folder and run the unlock bootloader option, voila he's back to being unlocked, though the relocking sounds kind of odd, but it could probably be due to the hboot he was using, I'm guessing was Juopunutbear's or something.

I am going to give HTCdev another chance and see what happens... thanks for the input and help
ok so I just tried HTCdev again and it unlocked my phone however it did a hard reset the only thing I have to do now is to have eng s-off instead of ship s-off.

Just flash the eng hboot via bootloader, though you don't need to, unless you plan to do fastboot commands, which the average user doesn't have much need for, hasoon's tool does everything you need, recovery, root, etc, though I do recommend 4EXT recovery, which you can easily install after obtaining root.
I just successfully performed S-off but my bootloader changed to "locked". Is that normal?
Also, I declined to install jp modified hboot because I was not sure what it was. Do I have to install another hboot after S-off?
S-OFF > unlocked bootloader. You don't need an unlocked bootloader when you are S-OFF.
With a stock locked bootloader you won't be able to use most fastboot commands. That's the purpose of the jpbear hboot. It allows you to use them without unlocking. However, if you ever go back S-ON, you have to have a stock bootloader or you'll brick, so you should only use a modded hboot if you need the fastboot commands. Otherwise, stock is just fine.
I read a lot about this subject in this thread last night:

Sorry for the noob questions. I don't know much about the tech, I can only follow the instructions. So, do I need a modified bootloader if I want to flash Rom that require S-off or is the stock bootloader OK? I want to flash a Rom for which I need to be S-off and on the latest RUU.
I'd guess that 99% of people who do the jbear s-off procedure take the modified hboot as an uniformed choice. They figure if jbear provided this, then it must be great.
If you do not install the jbear hboot, you should unlock your bootloader using htcdev unlock bin file. You will have the following benefits with s-off, stock unlocked hboot:
o can ruu with unlocked bootloader. you will never need to relock before performing an ruu.
o install ROMs easier without the need to install kernels via ph98img.zip. method
o able to fastboot flash recovery and boot/kernel
o less bricking risks in the future
being s-off with the locked jbear modified hboot has the advantages of:
o displaying Locked, but can do everything an unlocked bootloader can do.
o makes it easier to lie to Verizon that you never tampered with the phone, never unlocked, never ROMed, it is not your fault the phone is bricked.
o able to fastboot flash recovery and boot/kernel
o able to fastboot flash hboot/bootloaders and some other fastboot commands that no developers are using.
One guy went so far as to hexedit his hboot to display "s-on" and "locked" to hide the fact that he is s-off and unlocked. He bricked his phone on his first attempt. got phone insurance to replace his phone. Then he got others to test his later attempts which work and didnt brick. So if you want to lie with impunity to Verizon, don't use jbear hboot, instead use this guy's hboot. you'll find it in the developer's forum.
Personally I take great care and deliberation about what changes I make to my phone because I do not plan on lieing to get someone else to pay for my mistakes.

Yes it is normal....see what the other guys say about jb hboot.....for me, since I haven't and don't plan on having to use fastboot commands, I just left it locked with stock hboot.

Guys, I didn't find any explanation for this here, and I still have a problem. I have HTC EVO 3D GSM..
I was on 1.53 hboot and I unlocked bootloader via HTCdev.com. After that I wanted to do s-off with "wire trick"..I successfully made it. I wanted to install Disarmed Toaster ROM, but I had a bootloop. So, I downloaded new PG86IMG.zip, downgraded hboot, and now I have 2.3 GB android, with LOCKED BL and S-OFF..now..How do I get UNLOCKED bootloader..I tried with htcdev.com again, but failed..There is error failed: remote not allowed
Hope you can help me..
This post explains the situation you are describing on the CDMA version, and I suspect it is very much the same on the GSM model. If you want to read the original explanation by Unknownforce it is here.
You should be able to use the JBear hboot for your phone instead on unlocking the bootloader, or if you need an older version I think I read there is a GSM version of the Revolutionary bootloader.

You just installed JBear again and you will gain UNLOCKED. Or you should Unlocked again w/ HTCdev.

Some people still seem to unlock the bootloader after gaining S-OFF so they can run fastboot commands like "flash" and "erase". If you try to run those commands with a locked bootloader you will get the "failed: remote not allowed" error even with radio S-OFF.
The wire trick leaves the bootloader locked, but choosing the JBear hboot or flashing another custom version (engineering or Revolutionary) is a better way to get access to those commands than unlocking the bootloader again.
