Ok, I am running JB Meanbean rom. I have a recovery to stock back up on my Sd card but TWrp wont let me installed.
Do i need to lock the bootloader in order to flash back The stock Ics?
I want to take the OTAs from htc, and update my radios and then re root again.

Yes you do need to lock your bootloader and run the stock ruu to update via HTC OTA. Check this video out to lock your bootloader.
Or check this link out if you are s-off or hboot 1.12 unlocked to flash radios.
Ultimately, if you want to accept HTC OTA you must be locked and flash stock RUU.
Now..is there a current working method to root and unlock after I take the OTAs ?
I want to do this because my radios is way old.. Then I am S-ON to make it worst. The way for me to be soff is to Racoon it but it wont support Win8.

You can acquire root via HTC Development website after taking OTA. It won't matter to you because you are s-on already.

i'm getting ready to sell my rooted/unlocked/custom rom EVO lte... and i'm wondering after i relock it, what the steps are for then loading up the stock RUU image and unrooting, so that the buyer can then accept OTA updates and can take it to sprint, etc. i looked for an FAQ for this device but haven't been very successful.... i'm sure it must be right in front of my face??

if you have s-off and 1.50 can you flash custom kernals or other things you cant with htc unlock method
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
If you are S-Off with 1.50 you should be able to flash anything the traditional way. I used Revolutionary and was S-off with hboot 1.40. I upgraded radios/firmware etc and accidentally picked the wrong file. It bumped me up to hboot 1.50. I was able to reload TWRP and then flash a rom with no issues.
However, that being said. If you are S-off you can just roll back to hboot 1.40 with no problem. Look for xHausx thread with Engineering Hboot. He has a link for the 1.40 boot, flash that one, not the 1.04.02 file. You just rename the file to pg86img.zip and let it run through bootloader.
I did this last night. Again....you must be S-Off with revolutionary, before going to hboot 1.50. So for anyone who used HTCdev tool to root, you cannot roll back at this time. Try it and it either won't work, or may brick your phone.
I went from this right out of the box:

To this after using revolutionary Root:
Then I mistakenly flashed this to correct a problem with my stock rom:
Which gave me this, but I was able to reload TWRP and flash a rooted stock rom still with no issues. Due to being S-off it makes no difference on the hboot:
Then I flashed the 1.40 hboot via bootloader and went back to this:
My advice to everyone, don't be a derp. Pay better attention to what firmware upgrades you flash.
thank for the reply. i knew what i was doing when i flashed ruu. i never had any problems with og evo. i just wanted to be sure i could stay with 1.50 so i can keep the radio. i hate this hboot fastboot. the og evo was way more user friendly. i could flash whatever i wanted in recovery. with 3vo all i see is restrictions wich i can deal with. new devices mean slower dev time. i sure to miss ra.

My radio is updated on 1.40 hboot. You can flash all the firmware updates minus hboot in xhausx thread.

Ok so I'm not sure how my phone reverted back from the 1.22 ota back to 1.13, however that's not the issue. I have inserted a screenshot of my build number and baseband version. It shows that I am currently running 1.13, but when I go to run Lazy Panda, it still says "can not find the panda". What would be the cause of this? If it matters, I am running on MeanRom as well. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like your running a Rom based off of 1.13. If you updated your firmware via HTC then the panda will not be able to find some bamboo. The only way to get s-off is rooted running stock, on previous hboot version.
sent from my EVO LTE with it's security flags down.
1.22 firmware is not the same thing as 1.22 ROM. Once you apply the OTA, and the 1.22 firmware updates, you can't go back unless you are S-OFF. This is why it's never advisable to take an OTA (I'm aware you didn't say you took the OTA, not trying to claim you did) because it is often irreversible. For people who didn't have a choice, this is just unfortunate.
The ROM you're using is based on 1.13, but LazyPanda requires that your firmware also be 1.13, and that's not something you can check from within the ROM, if I recall correctly.

Understood completely. It seems as though it shows 1.13 but still has hboot at 1.15. I have been debating on whether or not to visit a friend of mine who works at sprint and see if I can come up with an excuse to have it swapped out, just don't know if they have the white LTE.
Hello,
My status is: Relocked, S-off, Hboot 1.5x, Official ICS, GSM user
How can I root my device? Can I install any rom on this new hboot then? Is there already way to downgrade new hboot ?
Thanks
Since you are s-off, you can install anything, even though the bootloader says relocked. If you want to downgrade your Hboot, you can flash an Hboot zip.

You're S-Off, so you can downgrade your HBoot whenever you want. To root you can simply install a custom recovery and then flash a superuser package. I like SuperSU.
I don't know much about the GSM Hboot's, but if they're anything like the CDMA one's, the HBoot that came with the ICS OTA does not play well with older ROMs not based on the ICS OTA. Basically if you want to run a GB ROM, you have to downgrade to an older HBoot, and if you want to run a ROM based on the ICS OTA, you need to have the new HBoot.

On CDMA, hboot 1.5 works, hboot 1.58 does not. So, for GSM, I'm not sure. You could try it, and if it doesn't work, you could downgrade it. You need to search for the lower hboot for GSM, rename it PG86IMG.zip (case sensitive), place it on the root of your SD and boot into bootloader. It will recognize the zip and update it (or downgrade it).

/Is it because i have SHIP S-OFF?
// working now
hi guys, i have an htc evo 3d gsm hboot 1.49 S-off with the stock GB rom, how can i upgrade to ICS, with the same hboot???? ( i have already followed this guide, but it gives me always the errore of the status 7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732984&highlight=status+7 )
Your are rooted, unlocked and s-off? Your phone is a gsm version. Are you looking for a almost stockish rom? Your recovery is ? Sounds like you should be able to flash any ics rom with your existing hboot as mine is also 1.49, you will need to flash the updated firmware
Now which sense would you like to flash? 3.6 or 4.1, 3.6 has 3d camera working as 4.1 sense has no working 3d camera at this point.

don't think root is the problem, if I remember correctly that particular error has to do with your device cid, so there's 2 solutions off the top of my head:
Comment out the CID check in the updater script for the rom(after looking at the link you posted I noticed there's a detailed guide to this one in the thread)
Change your CID

I need to return my EVO LTE to get another replacement, but I need the base ROM so I can flash it back to stock. Unfortunately, I can't gain access to the NANDROID backup I made of the base ROM before flashing the Viper ROM that I'm currently using. If someone would kindly post the base ROM that's compatible for my phone's build, I would be highly appreciative. Here's my phone's info:

Viperboy made a RUU tool that you can find at the link below.

If you are S-Off, you can use the viper RUU tool to go back to completely stock.

Or, as another solution, you can always flash the stock rooted rom, and remove superuser, thereby unrooting it.

Just be sure to relock the bootloader. But your best option would be to go S-Off, run VipeRUU, and use a mod to change the bootloader information that's displayed when you boot into the bootloader.

VipeRUU will put the phone back completely stock, locked bootloader and all. No need to use a mod like regaw's bootloader customizer to change the bootloader info.

Well, as I suggested earlier, flash the stock rooted rom and remove SU permissions via the SU app.
