I used HTCdev to unlock the bootloader, to root it, and i have installed TWRP 2.3.3 recovery. I have HBOOT 2.09 right now too. I am currently running MeanBean 3.0 right now as my ROM. I am currently S-ON and want to know the proper way to go about S-OFF so i can flash the 3.16 firmware and update my radios and pri. What would be the correct steps now to S-OFF so I can do this?
The system requirements, necessary packages, and instructions are listed on the unlimited io website
Just follow these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964309

Hey! A while ago I rooted my phone using the revolutionary method. Later I reverted back to stock and locked the bootloader. However the S-OFF remained. A few minutes ago I had 1.53 HBOOT and ICS stock. But now I got HBOOT 1.49.0007 and I wanna use revolutionary tool to unlock bootloader yet again. But now it gives me an error saying, "Failed to get root! "
Is there another way to get rooted WITHOUT using the HTC method since I already got S-OFF and 1.49.0007 HBOOT? I don't feel comfortable using HTC's method....

I think the "Failed to get root!" message is because HTC patched the tacoroot exploit in the ICS builds that was being used for temp root with the GB builds.
Why do you want to unlock the bootloader? If you want to run the additional fastboot commands you should be able to just flash the JBear version of the current bootloader, or does that cause problems on the GSM model?

Since you are S-OFF you can flash whatever bootloader you want. I don't know revolutionary method, I was using jbear to get S-OFF. After S-OFF i flashed RUU and I was on stock 1.53.007 locked bootloader with S-OFF and i couldn't root my phone. I've flashed hboot from this site:

There you have 2 versions of GSM Evo 3d hboots. After that you can do everything with your phone. Good luck!

I contacted unlimited.io's support in the IRC and downloaded the ICS HBOOT - 1.53.5353 and flashed that. Now it seemes to work!
Anyway, thanks for your answer! If they wouldn't have responded then you would have been my savior!
Okay, problem number two.... I have flashed CWM now and I installed Super User inside recovery mode but I don't get root access? I downloaded the signed package from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991929
Any ideas?
I have tried to repair premissions after the install of Super User. I have also updates Super User from Market after Install due to force close after the fresh install from CWM
Link you gave leads to this topic Go to this thread:

Follow method B (steps 1 to 14 if you want to be on rooted stock) and it should be ok. If I remember correctly, there is a 4ext recovery to download, maybe try this one. Good luck!
Is it possible with hboot 1.19 s-on running MeanBean? If so what method? I tried dirty racun and it failed on the on the step fastboot oem rebootRUU and black screen with HTC. Then wouldn't flash RUU. t/u
Ruu when in bootloader. Then unlock and then run racun.

Last weekend I relocked my phone then ran the RUU and took the OTA then unlocked and rooted again. I couldn't get Racun to work for me either.

I will most likely try the unroot method since I have tried the racun and was stuck with a phone not working for a while.
What RUU

The RUU to use depends on your hboot, for example, if youre on hboot 1.15 use RUU 1.22.651.3 - HBOOT 1.15
for hboot 1.19 use RUU 2.13.651.1 - HBOOT 1.19
The best guide to follow is the unlimited guide from their site, they will acutally support your efforts live! I used this method and I was able to gain s-off, unlock my bootloader and root; here's the link (it contains eveything you need including the RUU):

That is the one I was using and failed on step 8 second command went to black screen with HTC in center and nothing after that. Then failed to load the RUU. I am on HBOOT 1.19. I will look at it again tonight and might give it a try again.
I am trying to flash my phone with the RUU 2.13 so I can get the new firmware and flash meanbean. I am following this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31520093&postcount=11730) to do so. After following what Captain says, which is to relock the bootloader I can't get past the bootloader (which I now understand is normal right?) and then try to run the RUU through HBOOT, however I get the USB error. Is this due to the bootloader being relocked or am I missing the htc drivers on my computer?
Also, I'd rather go to S-Off, so if anyone could shed some light on how I would go from S-On to S-Off I would greatly appreciate it.
Which firmware are you trying to get on your phone? Because the way I'm reading it is you're using the older ruu file to try to get the newest firmware. Just wanna make sure you're using the newest ruu of 3.15 (came out December 22).

Ya wow can't believe how long it's been since I've flashed a rom. An old version of MeanRom has lasted me so long. I am on an old firmware (1.13) I believe. I want to preferably go from S-On to S-Off. Before, I tried Captain Throwbacks method (relocking the bootloader, flashing the RUU) however I ran into a USB Connection Problem with the RUU. So I am trying to figure out if it was because I didn't have the right htc drivers installed or something else. If S-On to S-Off would eliminate the need for those steps I would much rather do that. I am trying to get to the latest firmware. Thanks!
What Hboot are you on?
Edit: If you're on 1.12 you're going to have to go the Dirty Racun route, since Lazy Panda is no longer officially supported. This, of course, requires you to RUU to upgrade to either Hboot 1.15 or 1.19, then run Dirty Racun to get S-off. Getting S-off is definitely the way to go, as it can save you some headache down the road. Also, don't run the RUU for 3.15 (JB) as this will update your Hboot and currently there is no exploit to get S-off with the new Hboot. You can still unlock and root it, but you'll be S-on.

Hi i just finished updating my wife's phone. I went from rooted 1.12 to s-off 1.19 using dirtyracun. I then tried captain throwback's full firmware 3.15, but nothing updated. I tried running the 3.15 Ruu.exe which is how I got Hboot 2.09 the phone is stuck on the firmware in the topic. And now says tampered Locked on the bootloader screen. Do I need to rerun dirty racing?

You are still s-off. No need to run dirty racun again. Tampered and locked don't matter cause you are s-off. And the radio you have is the one from 3.15. And the 2.13 is based on the rom you are running. That will change to 3.15 or 3.16 when you flash a jellybean rom.
You should be able to get the full firmware zip for 3.16 from Captain_Throwback's thread. Make sure to follow the directions and check the md5.
Thanks for the help, I read up and realized I needed the twrp 2.3.1.0 recovery not 2.4.1.0. Successfully updated it to 3.15. Thanks again.

i want to make my evo s-off but i cant. i'm on yodas ics rom. so i do it by wiretrick. my hboot ver. is: 1.53.0007. i cant downgrade it please help.
Start by reading the instructions more carefully. the wire trick only works on stock RUU, you should have read that on the website when you downloaded joupunbear. Then it will work

ok so what should i do ? i cant do wire trick. i tried to downgrade hboot with hex editor but when i open .img there are only 00000... no more values. now what to do ?
You must flash the RUU for your phone and carrier in order to even get started with the wire trick. To be safe, that is. So go ahead and grab you the stock RUU and then flash it. Once you're done, you can get started by following the instructions given on Juno's site.

Harmonia ROM working for me.
Since you are s-on do 'fastboot oem lock'. Then run the ruu (it must be ics) and follow the onscreen instructions, all ruus are there -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172. Then s-on with htcdev, flash recovery, do a backup, s-off with wiretrick (go to unlimited.io, all the required files and a guide is there) and finally downgrade hboot -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1906172 and I recommend to flash 4ext touch recovery since I have never had any problems with it. After hboot downgrade go into recovery and wipe all partitions except sdcard. Flash the rom. You're done.
