Hello XDA, i've been a long time lurker due to flashing my evo 4g and swapping roms on it constantly.
I have recently purchased an CDMA EVO 3D and was attempting to get S-OFF i started off by re locking my phone but i can't get past the ROM Update Utility, i believe it's because my image version is too up to date?
My bootloader is
*** RELOCKED ***
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.58.0000
eMMC-boot
The current Image version is 2.95.651.5 is there anything i can do to continue with getting Revolutionary S-OFF on my phone? or am i practically stuck here?
Thank you in advance for all your help, it is very much appreciated.

Just a heads up that you won't be able to flash the 2.89.651.2 RUU with the March OTA installed without downgrading your main version (mainver). I can give you instructions to do that if necessary but I suggest trying that guide first starting with Step2, or if you are already rooted Step3.
Good luck!

Just got off work and i'm gonna sit down and give this a try, thank you guys i'll let you know how it goes.
I've been stuck at the HTC logo... I still have access to recovery hboot 1.58 but it keeps saying in fastboot mode no image found???
How can I just flash anything at this point? Please help

Sorry, we can't help people that use iPad's in this forum.
j/k
But seriously, you kind of hijacked the OP's thread so you might be better off starting your own or at least providing a little more information like what ROM you are using, have you installed the March OTA, do you have a custom recovery installed, are you S-ON or S-OFF. That would be a good start anyway.

I cannot thank you guys enough, i'm S-OFF now and everything seems to be good. Again thank you two so much.

I keep getting asked to install the ota update to ICS but it stops at the android with triangle and exclamation
I would like to upgrade the ICS if possible but not sure what to do from here. I tried to put PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC_30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed on my sd card root and renamed to PH85IMG.zip but when I tried to run it failed.
I thought that would return to stock ? How would I get s-off if that's what I need to do? Just need some direction on my choices here.
Thank you

I have the EVO 3D with the 2.89 RUU installed with HBOOT 1.5858 S-OFF
Is there anyway I can put a JB ROM on my phone?
I've read that JB is not compatible with 1.5858.

hboot downgrade
Well I've also read that I can downgrade my hboot to 1.4, but that I have to brick it to do that. In other forums people talk like downgrading to 1.4 is simple. When I got the 1.58 upgrade it updated all my radio filestoo.. So I'm wondering if those radioh files are stored on the same partition as hboot. If they are I know how to flash my hboot with fastboot flash command so that would be simple.. Any help, pointers or info would be greatly appreciated.

hboot 1.04
First thanks again.. Do you know if I can just flash this hboot w/o bricking the phone. A lot of people are saying that the phone needs to be bricked to downgrade.

Yes, since youre s-off, all you need to do is find a copy of the hboot ( pg86img.zip) and place it on your sdcard, and boot into the bootloader, the phone does everything else from there on its own

Depends upon your Hboot version. If you're on Hboot 1.12, 1.15, 1.19 or 2.09 (software version 3.15, baseband/radio ending in 1119) you can use Facepalm. If you're on Hboot 2.09 (software version 3.16, baseband/radio ending in 1210) you can use Moonshine. Both methods are Windows friendly and can be found in the Original Development section.

Download and flash meanbean, just follow the instructions in the OP, it has a s-on kernel installer so you have to flash the rom twice... Good luck!

I have the same phone as you. It is a dev phone. I have someone that wants to buy it but wants it back to stock. And like you I can't find a method to bring mine back to stock s-on.
Any ideas anyone?

I've used this guide quite a few times when I've wrecked my phone, it's pretty straight forward. Just remember to flash the 1.15 hboot before trying to run the RUU or it won't work.

How will these methods work with monarubo s-off? My DNA is a dev phone like the op has. If this method would work I would use one of those methods. But I don't see my soft method. I used those on my other DNA, just wanted to make sure one of those methods would work without borking my phone.

Monarudo is just the device code name
You'd be ok following the face palm method for s-on I'd imagine

OK. Thank you guys. I will give it a go.
I want to root/unlock my Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE for the purpose of installing Cyanogenmod or another custom ROM. I don't like the extra apps that are bundled with the phone, and I'm disappointed with the overall speed and responsiveness of the device.
I was attempting to follow the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214653 but did not meet the prerequisite of being on the correct software version 2.17.605.2 (my phone is on 2.19.605.2). I have attempted to flash RUU 2.17.605.2 using the bootloader, but the update is failing with the error "Main version is older" (full text below).

I've taken a look at some other threads here and from what I can tell, it may not currently be possible to root this phone if you have the latest OTA update (2.19.605.2). I'm hoping that somebody can disabuse me of this notion, however; Can anyone confirm either way?
Perhaps a more pertinent question: Are there any custom ROMs that do not require root to install on an Inc4g? I've done a bit of searching but it seems not a lot of ROMs support this phone to begin with. Is there any way I can accomplish the two goals I mentioned above without rooting?
so far - none of the old methods of root work on the new ota...
Thanks for the confirmation.
Anyone know of a way to successfully roll back the OTA update? I was unable to find anything with some searching.
Or how about making my phone faster/removing crapware without root?
Nor anything for rolling back ...
