I am not extremely familiar with the Facepalm s-off, but I would expect that Andy's instructions here will work fine, BUT make sure your CID is set back to stock FIRST (use mdmower's script) because Facepalm requires you use SuperCID to root (DirtyRacun does not).

I recently Upgraded got the HTC Evo 3D so i decided i was going to root the Phone. I notice going to Revolutionary the Hboot I have its not selected I have 1.50 I think I have updated software like a dummy through sprint OTA I seen their was and RUU file to downgrade back to 1.40 is it safe to do so.
Go here: LINK
Downgrade your HBoot and get back to 1.40.
Why don't you just root without downgrading?

After a while of having to use the flash image gui app, it gets pretty annoying not being able to use Nandroid backups. That is why i am trying to downgrade myself.
Makes sense. Then check out the link vdubtx posted.
I would like to have S-Off instead of s-On

You can root, but you also forfeit your warranty to HTC by doing HTC Unlock, that code that you use to unlock it, gives them your device info, including serial number and when you bring it to sprint for repair, they can just look it up and see that you've rooted and voided your warranty.
Any files will work what is the latest 1
none of the RUU working do I have to format my SD card and I am trying to downgrade back to 1.40 which RUU file is i am clueless please help thanks I want S-off

I have an Evo 3d with HBOOT 1.5 and S-OFF. I want to get to 1.4 S-OFF but I can't find how I can set S-OFF back to S-ON, so I can proceed with the downgrade instructions located here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547695
Search and google are not helping too much as there is too much noise talking about getting to s-off and not trying to get to s-on.
Can you please point me toward a solution to change from HBOOT 1.5 S-OFF to HBOOT 1.5 S-ON?
Thank you.

You can brick your device!
Forgive my ignorance, but if you are s-off, why would you want to do this? I thought 1.5 s-off was just as good as1.4 s-off.
Sent from my PG86100
When set at 1.5 you cant change the splash screen or radio. or other settings.
Also Bricking it is what I need to do to convert it to 1.4 BUT I cant to that until I have S-ON. Correct?
You are s-off so no need to brick, just download this copy it to sd card and flash via bootloader.
Also I could be mistaken, but I believe hboot 1.5 is perfectly ok as long as you are S-off, I am pretty sure you can flash whatever you want.
BTW the download link is taken from OP in this thread, you might want to read through it.

^Exactly this. If you read the first post of that thread (especially the gigantic red letters and what is under that), it will tell you to NOT brick an S-off phone as it will permanently brick it. You just need to flash the 1.4 bootloader.

i had the same problem as OP. i think the issue with 1.5 is even though its s-off, the bootloader is still locked and therefore a recovery cant be flashed and root cant be gained.
Ive been looking for the standalone hboot 1.4 ruu so i didnt have to do what op originally suggested
You have all of my thanks

Ya I didn't even think about revolutionary only working with 1.4 or below that must be the problem. You are welcome for the help, I just figured most of this out about a week ago when I had to do the downgrade after unlocking with htc method.
I would fastboot oem lock then do HTC's unlock again.

You have to HTC Unlock the device first, then do the fastboot oem lock (if you don't it will say "Device was already locked!" message)

If you are S-OFF you can flash any bootloader you want...no need to go back to S-on....I found a few bootloader versions on here and flashed them back and forth when trying different roms.....once your S-OFF you should never return...lol
I was thinking of taking it to Sprint for a replacement cuz of 4G not working, but then I thought, WHEN ON EARTH do I use 4G??? LOL It's always off...
Ive got the computer for this Process finally I just need help in the process I need someon to type out some Simple steps to do this No Unkown forces steps dont help me there two detailed and plus there not easy
The first thing is do is make sure you have all the drivers installed, fastboot and adb. Then make sure you can boot linux/ubuntu. Then run unknownforces program in linux/ubuntu until it says waiting for device. If you can do that, all you need to do is brick.
Have you started the process yet, what have you done so far.
I know it seems intimidating but when you're done you'll see how simple it is.
Edit... Your signature says you're s-off, if that's the case then you don't need to use unknowns method.
i am s off i just want hboot downgraded

If you're s-off then all you have to do is flash a pg86img of any other hboot. You do not have to do the downgrade method
You're cdma, right?
If you're cdma, ill hook you up with hboot 1.4 or 1.04 engineering hboot
I have an Evo 3d with Virgin Mobile and I desperately want CyanogenMod 10.1
I am rooted, s-off, unlocked, and on hboot 1.57. To flash CM 10.1, you must be on an hboot version lower than 1.57. Is there a way to downgrade my hboot without reverting to s-on? because every link I find warns that you must be s-on, or you will irreversibly brick your phone.
I tried putting the PG86IMG.zip file with hboot 1.40 on my sd card and rebooting into bootloader, but I get an error message (see attached picture)
Please help, and Thank you in advance.

I'm on Sprint and by all means I'm no expert. I followed ramjet73's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
and was able to switch between hboot's version. Download QADERSO-V2-VM.zip and unpack to C drive. Install HTCDriver3.0.0.007 then open command prompt and do "cd C:\QADERSO\Root"
Then follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32259533&postcount=60

Thanks for the reply. I tried that method too and it didn't give me an error message, but when I booted into bootloader it still showed 1.57. Do you remember if you were locked when you downgraded? I think I read somewhere that you had to be but I don't really want to try it because relocking my phone will wipe everything.
And thanks again

I'm not sure where you got the hboot you are trying to flash but it looks like it's only setup for the Sprint CID and not Virgin Mobile.
Since you are already S-OFF you can follow the procedure in this guide and the hboots linked from that post are setup for both Sprint and VM CID's.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It worked!!
Hi guys,
I have my HTC rezound S-Off and rooted. Yes, I did the wire trick and if I go to the HBOOT it says S-OFF.
I am giving up my rezound and the person that wants it want a stock ROM back.
If I am not mistaken, once you are S-Off, you can just put the stock RUU into the SD card and rename to PH98IMG.zip and reboot into the bootloader, and that should do the trick correct?
Or do I need to lock hboot first and do the whole process again?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Just like you said run a Ruu and youll be good to go... Just remember to save back up anything you want saved.

Thanks much for confirming this!!!
I have the same question as the OP, but am rooted and S-ON. What's the procedure for getting back to stock, without the "Tampered" warning on my fastboot screen? I guess I need to do the S-Off trick, then flash a RUU?
Thank you in advance to whoever helps me.

You can run the RUU without going s-off and the "tampered" will go away but it will say "Relocked". Tampered is there when you have a custom recovery.
You can s-off and then run an RUU, I'm not sure what it will say then, I think it will still say s-off. If you want it to say s-on there is a procedure to s-on again but you have to be careful so you don't brick. I don't know if it will then look like factory stock or not as far as the locked/relocked thing.
What are you trying to accomplish and why? That will help someone to point you in the right direction.
