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.

Howdy,
I'm trying to get S-OFF on my Sprint Evo 3D so I can install this ROM. The documentation says that I need HBOOT 1.58 and S-OFF.
I was trying to following the directions from this thread here.
Originally, I had unlocked using the HTC Dev Unlock method, so I used the relock tool. After that my bootloader said "Relocked" and "Security Warning". I moved to the next step -- pseudo-bricking the phone by corrupting the HBOOT update process. However, nothing I do will get the phone to brick. I've tried about 10 different times (varying the wait time before I pull the power each time) and I never get it to brick. Here are all of my relevant settings and files that I'm using.
Current HBOOT banner: "Relocked" (Security Warning disappeared at some point)
HBOOT ver: 1.50
S-ON
RUU I'm using to corrupt HBOOT: 2.17 from here
If anyone can help me get this sorted out I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Why would you brick.the.phone? Just get unlocked + root and do the wiretrick by juopunotbear, takes 5 minutes.
sent from my almighty forbidden viper evo3d

I've got a guide here that can help you get a rooted and S-OFF configuration for a Sprint Evo 3D pretty easily.

Thanks, I'll give this a shot when I get back from class. Just to be clear, if I use this method will I eventually be able to end up on HBOOT 1.58 so that I can use ROMs with the 2.89 kernel? I have only just skimmed over your post before class so if that question is answered in there then nvm!
Once s-off, you can flash any hboot you want.
sudo passwd root
Worked like a champ! Thanks so much.
I know you are fairly new here, but as a future reference. It is common courtesy to hit the thank you button if somebody helps you. Ramjet's guide is the easist and quickest way for sprint users to gain s-off on the new ics firmware and hboot.
Hi it wont let me post in the thread this is related to. here

ok im having an issue with the PG86IMG.zip.
Htc evo 3d virgin
******LOCKED******
Shooter XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.57.0000
eMMC-boot
Stock rom no root.
I have attempted at installing one of these PG86IMG.zip files or ruu 1.13.zip but each time it will not give me the option to update via hboot blue bar then yellow bar then goes away or give me an CID error. I have found these zip files from 300k to 400mb I have used over 20-25 different ones from this site trying to get the ruu to run so i can brick the phone and move on to the next step.
thanks
The thread you posted has a toolkit and instructions, including RUU's, designed for the Sprint Evo 3D and I don't believe it supports the Virgin Mobile Evo V.
I've recently updated my guide to include rooting and gaining S-OFF for the Evo V using the JuopunutBear (wire trick) method.

thanks for the quick reply.
So with having a VM evo I cant downgrade my hboot? So I can run the newer roms like cyangen 10 or paranoid?

You can downgrade your hboot once you have S-OFF. When you get to that point you will need to change the CID in the android-info.txt file included in the hboot zip files from "SPCS_001" (Sprint) to "SPCS_002" (Virgin Mobile) or find versions of the hboot zip files that aleady have that changed. Here's a thread on another site that might help.

Thanks
Fyi everything worked perfectly thanks again.

Great!
Your question made me do a little homework and I found out how to specify multiple CID's in the android-info.txt file, so if you need to change bootloaders any of the ones in this post should work on your phone.

Considering there's a tool out now to give you S-OFF with Hboot 1.19 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964309)
Is there any advantage to updating the Hboot?
If not i will just keep what i got since developers on here don't find it necessary to take the time to mention which hboot their rom is developed and tested with.

It doesn't matter what hboot you have, 1.12, 1.15, or 1.19. You can s-off all 3. There is no point in upgrading at all.

i doesn't matter what Hboot you have on the evo lte... with the 3d it was a little different because of the bootloader
HTC EVO LTE
It does not matter what hboot, I'm running outdated hboot and firmware and run viper, mean, stock w/goodies, cm10, pa just fine. The difference in hboot is 1.12 allows direct access to boot partition, 1.15 and 1.19 do not. It's not an issue now that you can either soff or downgrade and soff all current hboot software
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?
Specs:

Shooter XC Ship S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.58.5858

You are already S-OFF so just use the info in this post to change your bootloader (hboot).
ramjet73
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.
Im currently severely stressed at the fact i cant do any rom testing or anything for that matter im stuck on stock and was wondering could i downgrade my hboot with s-on ive tried everything in my power to recieve s-off but no dirty racun or lazy panda has worked.... or rum runner any help would be greatly appreciated

Rumrunner should work.
Being s-on sucks, but you can still run custom ROMs. You just need to download the ROM's zip file to your pc, unzip it and fastboot flash the boot.img.
Someone might still have the necessary files for firewater s-off.
Rumrunner is the only method to S-off Hboot 2.10. You'll have to be S-off to downgrade via RUU to an older Android version. Might want to hit up the Rumrunner thread and make sure that you've got your computer set up properly to run it. Firewater has been discontinued and is no longer supported by its developers.
