i also have the same problem, help would be appriciated.
i asked for help myself and some guy provided me some link to a website to get ur hboot downgraded and than get s-off but works only for linux, followed the tutorial and it relocked my bootloader,wiped my whole phone (not sd card) and recovery....so only thing that was left was bootloader(the white screen) no android was or could be run at that moment. i struggled a lot to get my phone functioning and make it work. NEVER BUY HTC!...if u plan to play with it and put some custom roms and want to get updated dont buy it....so guess that makes htc unwanted in whole community...
please list the steps you did and the current state of your bootloader (hboot, s-on/off etc). did you perform the wire trick to get s-off?

Dear fellow XDA members,
I am in need of some assistance. I just got my HTC EVO VIEW 4G and unfortunately, I accidentally upgraded to Android 3.2 HoneyComb without doing the Revolutionary S-OFF, so currently I did an HTC Dev unlock on my View but it still says "EXPRESS PVT SHIP S-ON RL" and it also updated the "HBOOT-1.14.0005." I tried checking out Revolutionary website and it does not support HBOOT-1.14.0005, so I was wondering what can I do? Do I need S-OFF for anything? I currently have Clockwork Mod installed on my View but it still has S-ON so I was scared about flashing ROMS. I am trying to flash Desensed 1.5 but is scared that I need S-OFF to do so... Can anyone chime in to help me please...
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
PS: BTW, I been searching and reading and rereading.... I just don't understand..
1) You'll need to downgrade to GB
2) you'll then need to run revolutionary for S-OFF
3) you can then re-upgrade to HC S-OFF

I don't think there is anything in the tool, that globatron hasn't already written a guide for on the Flyer. And none of them are hard to do. Anything particular you are trying to do?
ive done the OTA update, and then unlocked using HTC-DEV method becasue my HBOOT is 11.11.0011 and revolutionary didnt liost that hboot as being compatible. Ive been able to install a revolutionary Clockwork mod nad then went ahead and flashed LeeDriods ROM. But now it just starts up with the R2D2 sounds, boots a little and restarts.
Ive been reading and I think it either needs to flashed from fastboot or need to downgrade to GB and relevant hboot.
Also even though I have unlocked the bootlaoder from htc-dev it still says "s-on"?
I'm in the same boat. My flyer is
Hboot 1.11.001
OTA to HC
Unlocked the bootloader using HTC method
Load CW recovery.
Can I just follow the directions to down grade?
sorry to ask people for help again.. but there are alot of guides for unlocking/downgrading/flashing etc. could someone just point me in the right direction of one guide that is applicable to my particular case?
thank you.

I don't know why people keep coming on here and asking why they still have S-On after HTC Unlock. Its never been stated that HTC Unlock gets you S-Off, it just gives you an unlocked bootloader, which is not the same thing.
If you want real S-Off, downgrade and root using globatron's guide:
htthttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307759p://
Then you can upgrade back to HC if you want using the following guide (also by globatron, becuase he's the man). You will also need to have the HC Hboot if you want to flash a HC custom ROM, which is also described in the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
If you want to flash a custom ROM without getting S-Off, from my understanding you can do so using fastboot. But I haven't seen any step-by-step guide. You might start reading here:

It might be just me but I don't see anything in these guides with anything to downgrade the hboot on 16gb Flyer to gain compatibility with Rev. root method. It is not for me personally but seems others here are having that issue. With those newer hboot versions is there even anything that can be done at this time?
My understanding is that when unlocked with HTC dev you can flash recovery then adb push gb hboot while in recovery then run appropriate gb ruu. Once on gb rev s off then update to hc s off

Hi,
i have an s-on gsm evo 3d with 4ext recovery installed...Can anyone tell me which jb rom i can flash...n how to do it..Please ! :fingers-crossed:
i tried this but it gets stuck on boot animation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801647)
Did you check here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786578. Also your problem maybe that you are s-on and most aosp roms require you to be s-off with a downgraded bootloader to work properly. I am suprised because you have posted in the tutorial for rearranged s-off and did not follow the guides to obtain s-off. Well, in any event. Obtaining s-off is your first priority if you want to run aosp roms on your device.

Well thanks for answering :highfive:
Also, Which aosp rom will work ?
P.s i posted in that thread coz i was new to xda then..and wanted thanks by helping people :victory:
As well as the s-on problem the rom you linked to will only boot (for me at least) with the usb cable unplugged.. shrugs, also note first boot takes a fair time, 5 minutes or so.
Still No Luck !!! :crying:
Well, now i installed ubuntuz 0.7.2 jb rom...and it got to android is upgrading ...And it is stuck there tried everything !
Don't panic its going to be ok lol. As I have said before aosp roms do not play nice with s-on devices. I will walk you through this. First thing you will need to do is download an ruu file. Now are you unbranded or branded? If branded you will need to download the ruu for the country and carrier you are on. If not then just use the Europe one. Here's a link with a list of ruu files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208485. Scroll through that and find the appropriate one for you. If there aren't any ruu exe's just google it to find the one appropriate for you depending on if your branded or not. Use the European one if unbranded. Here's a link to help you with getting back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655832. Okay, if you get to.stock here's a link to gaining s-off. Follow method D. Now I just want to say, a lot of users are apparently having crazy bootloops even with s-off. So my suggestion to you is to flash a sense Rom like cool sense for now until the devs can fix these aosp roms.

AOSP ROM's play fine with s-off devices. Use the hboot 1.4 or ENG hboot 1.04, I run two AOSP ROM's as daily drivers.
Hi,
I'm asking here as I can't post in developement itself (2 Posts only)
Is it possible to install this rom with S-On? I had to switch to KingCobra, because DT was bootlooping. But KingCobra seems to be dead.
Sorry if this was already answered before.

You cannot flash DT with S-On because you will need to downgrade your hboot to a compatible one (I don't know if you're CDMA or GSM). That's why it is bootlooping.
GSM. Thanks. Is revolutionary still in active developement for Hboot 1.53xx? Most downgrades seem to be a pain in the ass
I do not know if you know about this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 Follow method A,B and D to get S-off. But its a great alternative if you don't want to wait on revolutionary to make a s-off tool.

Some s-on users it worked...see link
It is a bit ambiguous though. if you see the last page praveenkv1988 says he actually did the wire trick before trying this. No one actually says he did this with s-on they just started from there
If you try it you'll have to do it on your own risk. its untested so you should tread lightly

Here's a guide that Ramjet put together for those seeking s-off. Very easy guide and full of information and links
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
Looking at your specs: you are nearly ready to use jupuonutbear wire trick method.
Make sure you have all of the following before attempting
Insulated wire(speaker wire or paperclip wrapped with electrical tape will do)
PC windows or Linux computer
Control bear(based on os,network and computer)
HTC drivers
HTC sync uninstalled
USB debugging enabled
If you have an questions please don't hesitate to ask. Good luck

Yes you will need to be s-off to flash cm9. There are cm10 ROMs as well if you want to give them a try.
Unfortunately, your current hboot wont allow Aosp ROMs to boot properly so once you gain s-off, you will need to downgrade your hboot 1.5 or lower to run them properly. If you need help with that just ask.
Control bear is the program you will need to run the wire trick and gain s-off

can you help me? I have the evo 3d unlocked hboot 1.58. i'm trying to update the new radio because i have the viper 3d rom installed and 3g isn't working.. so i'm thinking it's the radio? idk.?? what do i need to do? my guess is i have to downgrade. can you please refer me to the easiest tutorial?
Hey, guys.
Recently I wanted to root and flash a custom rom on my EVO 3D. I did pretty great on my previous phone (HTC Desire/Bravo). Had tried almost every single ROM (4.0+)
I looked on the internet for the info to root EVO 3D. In the result I got *UNLOCKED* but S-On. I don`t know if I just missed that part or it wasn`t included. Superuser didn`t worked, couldn`t flash any recovery any way I wanted. Basiclly I got dry butt-fked.
Now I am *RELOCKED*
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT - 1.53.0007
eMMC-BOOT.
The problem is, that all tutorials for flashing a custom ROM requires GingerBread instead of ICS. How can I downgrade to GB? Or maybe I can root, turn S-Off and flash recovery whitout downgrading to GB?

I was on ICS as well and was able to flash a custom/rooted rom. For most of the most ROMs you need to downgrade your HBOOT though. It doesn't work with modern ROMs.

It is the "wire trick" which I cannot use, because I dont have those 2 holes. Must be because I am GMS not CDMA

Yep, he is right. It doesn't matter if you are on GSM or CDMA, the wire trick works for both Just look at the picture (which is btw. also in the step-by-step instruction) and follow the steps in the tutorial. It might take a while before you get the timing right, but it'll work!
