How can i downgrade evo 3d
I have h-Boot 1.57 and s on and ics Stock rom
Google is your friend...
to downgrade you first need to S-OFF your device by using ramjet's guide found Here.
He has made it pretty simple to understand so just following the steps in order and correctly to obtain S-OFF on your device.
Wasn't 1.53 hboot of gsm? I see Ramjet's post about Sprint and Virgin, which are CDMA. If the OP isn't reading that part, he might brick his phone by trying to install cdma software on his gsm...

That's true if he was on hboot 1.53, but the OP said he has hboot 1.57 which is the stock Virgin Mobile bootloader.

I've been searching and looking around for a couple weeks now. Is it possible to root the Rogers HTC Evo 3D without unlocking, with s-on, and without downgrading the hboot?

Unfortunately there is no method for gaining s-off without having to unlock first. However with this guide that ramjet73 put together you can have your phone s-off with "locked" bootloader by the time you finish performing the wire trick. You will have to have to unlock your phone and gain root first before you perform the wire trick. A lot of people have said that using a paper clip works the best. Well here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
Dont forget to hit the thank you button if I helped you in anyway and don't forget to drop a thank you for ramjet either.
Thanks for the referral jsparta26, but he's got a GSM model and my guide is specifically for Sprint S-ON phones.
If you had the CDMA version you could do the hboot 1.4 downgrade for S-OFF that requires bricking the phone but doesn't need HTC unlock. There was a "quick root" utility posted in the General Forum a few weeks ago that didn't work on the CDMA model with the Sprint ICS build installed but I don't know if it's been tested on the GSM model yet. Post #5 in that thread says it requires HTC unlock, but the OP never confirmed that in that thread or the original version he linked.
Maybe a GSM user knows of a way to get S-OFF on your model without the HTC unlock. Are you aware that the JuopunutBear wire trick resets your bootloader status to "locked" (at least on CDMA) even though you have to do the HTC unlock as a prerequisite? There is no indication on your phone afterwards that you were ever unlocked. Once you are S-OFF you can flash whatever hboot you want.

Thank you both for the info. I tried the htc quick root program but it said my phone was patched and failed. I was just wondering if I could just get root without unlock or s-off.

Are you still on gb or ics? Kingcobra has a ics Rom that is was developed from the rogers ota, why do just want root access?
(don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care less if you phone explodes,eh!!!)
I'm on the official ICS update. I just wanted root to use certain apps like ad free.

Oh my bad ram. Lol I guess I overlooked that. It's all good. I'm glad you cleared that up. I am not sure how to go about getting s-off on gsm but with rams suggestion hopefully you can find the answer your looking for sithlord. Goodluck.
okay so is the Downgrade method for hboot 1.58 the same as it was for the 1.50 version?

No. There have been some changes and I believe the downgrade method for gaining S-OFF now requires bricking the phone twice before you can run the 1.13 RUU.
If you want to use that method for gaining S-OFF, your best bet would be to read the recent posts in closeone's sticky thread in the Evo 3D Development Forum.

Yet again, ramjet being modest. His guide uses the wire trick, but is very easy for Sprint users.

Hi All,
so i have an EVO 4G LTE with HBOOT 1.12, SW v1.13.651.1 710RD.
i just rooted the device using ZEDOMAX script, and i've been reading but i need a confirmation from someone that's been more active than me with an EVO 4G LTE. As of today, there is no S-OFF method that doesnt use the HTCDEV ?
i'm trying to unlock the bootloader without having to use the HTCDEV. I got as far as lazypanda but apparently they've replaced it with DIRTY RACUN and that requires HTCDEV as well. So is there any way to acquire S-OFF without using HTCDEV. Thanks in advance.
Although I'm not familiar with that root method, you should already be HTC Dev unlocked if you're rooted.
Getting S-off doesn't require HTC Dev, either (at least with Lazy Panda).

AFAIK there's no way to gain s-off without HTC unlock.
More importantly why is HTC ulock something to worry about . If your worried about your HTC warranty more than gaining s-off I would reccomend not rooting your phone at all

I'm aware it's not there because it is no longer supported by Team Unlimited.

Hey I saw this posted on a thread for the lazy panda.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z7kle6swa793exb/S-Off Feed the Panda (HBOOT 1.12).zip
Last night I did the wire trick on my Evo3D to get S-OFF and everything worked pretty well, but I need to downgrade my HBOOT, 1.53.7 to 1.49 (for Jellybean roms) can someone please tell me what files I need to Do it and where to get it. I tried to downgrade when I was rooted s-on but nothing worked (I couldn't even change my Cid...) Anyway now I'm S-OFF, my Cid is HTC__001, in bootloader "juopunutbear" is replacing the "unlocked" text.. I'm currently on YodaICS 8.0 rom...
Thanks in advance..

Hi All.
I recently received a replacement phone from sprint. The phone is on:
hboot: 1.15
version: 1.22.651.3 710RD
Now, is there method to downgrade to hboot 1.12 without using htcdev.com to unlock bootloader?
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Why are you wanting to downgrade your bootloader?

Hi FinZ28,
thanks for your input. the reason why hboot 1.12 because as far as i know is the only one that can allow me to S-OFF without using the htc dev method, correct me if im wrong.
Now if there is a method to obtain S-off on 1.15 without using HTC DEV to unlock bootlader please let me know.
Thanks again.
The only way to downgrade is by using the toolkit in the link I posted previously, however, you must be HTC Dev unlocked to use it. To gain S-off you will need to unlock with HTC Dev & then gain S-off via Facepalm or Dirty Racun.
If you're wanting to downgrade for the purpose of using Lazy Panda, keep in mind that it's no longer supported and if you get in a tight spot trying to use it, you may have trouble getting help, particularly from Team Unlimited.
Also, I'm fairly certain that Lazy Panda required an unlocked bootloader. There is an exploit for the One that allows you to gain S-off without unlocking, but not for the EVO LTE.

Every S-OFF exploit for the Evo LTE requires you to be HTC-Dev unlocked

Nope you're wrong, if you have hboot 1.12 and you manage to get feedpanda / lazypanda you will be s-off without using HTC dev
Ok good luck

Yeah I'm pretty much out of Luck since it seems impossible right now to revert without using HTC Dev. I guess is time to upgrade.
Thanks for your input guys, I appreciate it.
I dug up the Lazy Panda thread and yes, @torankusu was correct. Lazy Panda will work on a locked bootloader. I used it when I first got my phone over a year ago when it was still supported but I was already dev unlocked. Still, though, there is no way to downgrade to Hboot 1.12 without unlocking the bootloader.
