I Just got a replacement EVO 3D (CDMA) and it has the newer Bootloader on it, my old phone had the 1.40 version.... So I was just wondering what's the best method available?

this is for people who had their motherboards replaced and are unable to unlock with htcdev. I personally think ramjets guide is much easier (not to mention that it doesnt involve intentionally bricking your phone )
So?
I did it and it worked. 5 minutes and i had downgrade, root and s-off No need for htcdev or some wires It is just my opinion.

So I have question regarding HBoot 1.50.0000:
The HTC unlock method allows for a partially unlocked bootloader, allowing us to load custom ROM's. Is it possible to use the HTC method, then flash a previous Hboot like 1.30 or 1.40? I haven't seen anywhere where this has been tried, so I figured I would ask it.

As far as I understand as long as you still have S-on it will not allow you to downgrade the bootloader. I've also searched this theory.

I have 1.50 and S-off. I asked in another thread but never got a response. Can I downgrade since I am S-off? I used Revolutionary and then mistakenly flashed the wrong file to update radios etc. Put me on hboot 1.50 but I remained S-off.
This question is an offspring of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601431
It seems that I have a Hboot version 1.11.0011 and 'revolutionary' does not cover this version regarding S-OFF. Is there another way to get a S-OFF onto this Hboot version? (And, why all these versions? - bonus question)
I also wonder this.
Same here
I had the same;
i got it unlocked via HTC unlocker - well not me guy who helped me. He tould e other metod is posible as well but more complicated.
So is it posible - yes.
Yes that I know but if I not mistakeing and you unlock it trough HTCdev you are loosing your warranty.

Instaling ANY non HTC rom does that so no diference there.
Yes okay but when you don't use HTCdev then they don't know and you can easily putting stockrom back

There is a posibility to downgrade to gingerbread without using the the HTCdev.
After this you could S-OFF with revolutionary.

Did anyone tried this and where did you get the RUU. I Unlocked my Flyer via HTC Dev and reading day and night how to get to the next step and S-OFF. This thread ended for some in a bricked device.
In this tread you can find the RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062184
But for example I need the RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_Wifi_2.27.1114.31_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07
And you can't download it
Had the same 1.11.0011 problem, took me a while to finally find the right method.

i know i have been around long enough to know this but for some reason i can't think of the answer. i have rooted many phones and am content with flashing roms and thats about it. i have the new 2.89 firmware with the stock ics rom from virus and can't figure out, if i am already s-off but my new bootloader is locked is there a reason to want to unlock the bootloader if i am already s-off? i never really paid attention if it was locked before.
S-off > locked, so you're good to go.

Any benefit to s-off AND unlocked?

flash Juopunutbear hboot from: http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
The JB hboot is similar to an Unlocked bootloader, but supports more commands & doesn't need you to unlock the bootloader via HTC Dev.
Since you are S Off, you can flash hboots & don't ever need to unlock via HTC dev again.

Well even if you did root without htcdev unlock, it still voids your warranty regardless

IT IS NOT THE SAME!believe me!if you don't unlock via htcdec(with other method) you can revert back to locked s-on.if you unlock with htcdev you can only go to relocked s-on so they know you messed with your phone.unfortunately,for hboot 1.5 there is no other method.only for 1.4

Just downgrade your hboot using cd method, use 1.40+revolutionary, use powduh/commonsens/meanrom and custom kernel and you will find your phone flying high... And at last you still can get back to haboot 1.50 locked
This phone is imortall... Lolz

I don't know if the same is true for the GSM model, but doing the JuopunutBear (wire trick) method for S-OFF left the two CDMA Evo 3D's that I have with a ***LOCKED*** bootloader even though it was ***UNLOCKED*** previously, and those were both on hboot 1.5. The bootloaders are still ***LOCKED*** and I use custom hboots to be able to use the fastboot commands that a locked stock bootloader doesn't allow.

I am wondering how one would go back S-On after achieving S-Off using the Moonshine method or if it is even possible. There is a thread about LazyPanda/DirtyRacun but I can't seem to find anything for Moonshine. I ask because I need to take my phone to sprint for repairs and don't want to have an unlocked bootloader.

This tool will put your phone back completely stock, locked bootloader and S-on.

Thanks! I saw this earlier but I wasn't 100% sure if it would work with Moonshine so I figured I'd be on the safe side and ask first.
