Hello! So I rooted my htc evo 3d a few days ago and I have been trying to flash roms using 4 ext recovery. But I realized that I had hboot 1.58 and I needed to downgrade It in order to get the roms I want....
And in order to do THAT, I had to get S-OFF. So ive looked for multiple solutions and I've found a post by remanifiest, the s-off, root and fix everything post (site wont let me post links yet, sorry) and I am on using the preliminary steps, unrooting it to get s-off. According to the post, I need to download the RUU which is the last of the preliminary steps. Mind you, Im not on the official step one yet, Im just trying to unroot it to get s-off. My bootloader does says relocked and everything, I'm so close. I downloaded the files he provided and the RUU is out of date. I need 2.95 but all I could find were ones way older than mine. I very unsure of what to do next. Could someone please point me in the right direction?? Thank the heavens my Htc isn't bricked but I really want to be able to flash the roms that I want, I don't want this whole process to be a waste. Im relatively new to this also but Ive learned a lot. Please help??

as your are on 2.95 you need to read the instructions very carefully. follow the whole guide and you should be fine
Sprint users: If the March OTA ((2.95.651.5) is installed and the phone is unrooted proceed directly to Step2. If the March OTA is installed and it's rooted see this post for instructions on how to prepare for flashing the RUU.

This is actually one of the post i had read. I downloaded the file (i am on virgin mobile btw) for VM users and it was out of date so i discontinued with the process..... in search for the latest RUU so i could get S-Off
Again back where i started
VM users: If the November VM OTA update (1.14.652.0) was installed and the phone is rooted with a custom recovery and ROM, please see this post for instructions on how to prepare the phone to run the RUU.exe. If both the November and March OTA (2.95.652.5) were installed there is no way to flash the RUU so proceed to Step2, or if already rooted flash a stock rooted ROM from this post then go directly to Step3.

unlock bootloader (you might need a new unlock token from htcdev.com) then flash that stock rom in recovery. then proceed with the wire trick. you'll need ubuntu or ubuntu livecd for that.

I do not take credit for any of the following, it was all information I have found posted here. Please thank the ops in the threads I link, it is their work that supplied all the information. Thanks.
For all the noobs out there (like me) here is a direct step by step process I used to go from rooted via one click root, to get the new ota, new hboot, and radios.
Thanks to con, andybones, chad, nilsp and everyone else who has answered my questions over the last few days!
I didnt take the ota, I used cons ota rom.. this was my steps for that to stay stock rom but get the ota.
Also, I am running amon ra.
1) download rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467329
2) boot into recovery, flash rom....
here you can go two ways, if you dont want the new baseband, it will flash the ph98img and not do anything, if you want the new radios I will tell you how I did it, then tell you where you need to start if you wont want them. if you dont want the new radios, and are having wifi issues go to step 13 (and be sure to thank andybones for that tutorial hell thank everyone whos threads I have linked to here).
3)perform nandroid back up
4)via adb (thing you used to unlock originally) fastboot oem lock YOU ARE NOW LOCKED.
5)boot into hboot it will flash the ph98img
6) Unlock bootloader (find the email with the unlock.bin code and follow those instructions)
7)Reboot phone
8)connect to pc, charge only usb debugging enabled
9)run one click root
Proceed with this if you get the mainver error ONLY otherwise if having wifi issues, proceed to step 13
10) after rooted follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467099 NOTE, op in the thread supplied his miscnew.img USE IT! (post 29)
11)Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459347 it will explain how to get the ph98s to work.
11a) do the ph98 file thing to the ph98 img in the amon ra ph98zipto get it to flash in bootloader
12) after amon ra is restored, perform restore nandroid.
If wifi is not working, even if you dont have mainver issues do step 13
13) If having wifi issues as in not working go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467793 and follow instructions EXACTLY!!!
Now you should be running new radios, hb2.11, the 2.6 kernel etc.
You will have to follow the post in step 11 to get any ph to work from now on.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE, BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN OR ABDUCTED BY ALIENS BY FOLLOWING THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS.
Thanks for posting this, it should help me. Question: After i do this can i reflash a custom gb rom "like nils p gingersense" and still keep the new radio and other firm ware that came in the ota. Or will it not work?

I have an HTC EVO 3D That I purchased yesterday, and It's been flashed to Boost Mobile (A company owned and operated by Sprint) Boost is a CDMA service. I am interested in rooting my device, but when I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218193 I was stopped because my HBOOT isn't supported. Baffled, I went searching the forums and found this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547695 unfortunately, I'm not sure if it's safe to proceed with this procedure, because I wasn't there when my phone was flashed, and I don't know if HTC Dev was used. Furthermore, I don;t know if I have S-On of S-OFF, because I didn't flash my phone. Also, it has come to my understanding that linux is required for that method of HBOOT downgrade. Is there any way I can avoid that? It's kind of a lot of trouble.
You can check if you're s-on or s-off by looking at the top of the hboot screen. Pull the batt, put it back in, hold vol down + power.
If you don't have s-off, the downgrade is easy, linux is easy. After the downgrade you have to use revolutionary.io to achieve s-off and it'll likely screw up your boost flash. I'll edit with a thread link for prepping to downgrade with a carrier flashed phone.

Hboot says I have S-ON. By following the steps in that link you'll give, will I be able to restore my flash without losing MMS and 3G, etc.?
I'm really not sure, I've never flashed a phone. If you don't mind me asking, why do you want s-off? It's nice to have because it makes flashing roms easier but its not required to flash roms, and if your not sure you can flash your phone back, its probably not worth the risk.

Well the whole idea is that i need to downgrade HBOOT in order to root, and I was under the impression that to downgrade Hboot i needed to have S-OFF.
No, you just need to unlock at htcdev. Then you can root, give me a sec and ill give you another link. Once you think you can flash your phone to boost, I suggest getting s-off. Just less issues with s-off flashing.
Edit... A lot of guides out there, check the roll up sticky thread. This one will probably work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821

THank man, i wish i could click thanks a thousand times. I'll try this method and see what i get.
Any time.. btw, you might be able to do the wire trick to get s-off without messing up the flash. It's in the dev section, called something like junoputabear s-off. Ask in that thread, maybe someone will know.

I got root, and recovery but for some reason the fastboot method wher you extrtact the boot.img and use fastboot to load recovery doesn't work for ICS roms, they bootloop. I found a working Gingerbread rom and I like it. Only issue is i wanted an ICS app. Btw, which gapps should I flash for 2.3.4?

From what I remember, if you boot a recovery from fastboot (fastboot boot recovery.img), you wouldn't need to extract any boot image. When you boot a recovery from fastboot, you'll be able to write to the boot partition, so all you need to do is flash the rom and it should work. With that said, I've read a lot of times that flashing ics roms with s-on will cause bootloops. I've never seen that personally, I was s-off before ics came along.
Btw, which gapps should I flash for 2.3.4?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You probably know this but ill say it just incase. You only flash gapps on aosp roms. I think all the ics gapps say ics in the name, and most of the time gapps for any rom are linked in the same thread as the rom.
Look at your pm in a little bit. I'm gonna send you some stuff that'll help you figure out how to correctly flash a phone so that you can s-off without worry. I can't really post it here.

I've been (at least trying to) patiently wait for Deck to post full install instructions for CM10 but the CM10 op is still bare as bones. Has anyone else posted an install guide or instructions yet?
I'm currently rooted with RegawMod and running MeanRom 2.1 and it's really terribly laggy and frustrating, I can't wait any longer for CM10. Do I need S-off to install CM10 or do I just wipe, flash, and go?
Thanks for any help or links!
If you are on hboot 1.15 or higher you have to fast boot flash the kernel.
Other than that its just like a normal aosp install. Wipe flash rom flash gapps.
Its been my daily for 3 weeks.

You don't need s-off. You will however have to flash the boot IMG separately by using fastboot or the app flash image GUI and a full wipe is definitely required. There is a helpful thread in Q&A called "don't panic" that will answer all your questions
Good luck

I'm on hboot 1.12, so does that mean I can just flash normally?
edit - From what I can tell from reading, hboot 1.12 doesn't have the same restrictions that 1.15+ do, so I think I'm OK but I would like verification.
Thanks for the help everyone.
Yes hboot 1.12 allows for access to the boot partition

If you are on Hboot 1.12 I'd strongly suggest looking into getting S-OFF. Theres really no reason not to.
Up to you though, its not required
Bit off topic, anyone check to see if you can push a new splash, right now I'm too lazy to start my PC just to fastboot one measly splash

The S-OFF guide was way over my head so I just let it be. If there's not a real good reason for doing it, and I can still run CM10, then I'd rather not.
It allows you to directly flash new firmware like radios to fix any problems a device might be having. If you have Son and want the latest firmware you have to revert back to stock and accept ota, then unlock reflash recovery and reflash custom ROM or rooted stock, you could also just flash root installer if you want to just root stock

No, S-ON people with 1.12 H-boot can flash radios and firmware from recovery. They can do whatever they please in recovery just like S-OFF. S-OFF users can flash things from bootloader and even change the appearance of their h-boot to read S-ON and **locked** even though they are S-OFF
To the OP, this is the best rooting guide I've seen. It really explains everything step by step. http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte...panda-s-htc-dev-ltevo-root-dummies-guide.html Its recommended to have Linux at least bootable, because in the small chance the phone gets bricked... the unbricker program requires linux.
I ran it in windows before the unbricker was available, no issues here
You basically just hook the phone up to it and run the program like you do for most other root programs. All 1-click
Ah yeah forgot to mention that, most everyone is on 1.15 or 1.19 sorry

Alright, I got S-Off using Lazy Panda and it went better than expected!
Do I need to flash updated firmware / radios separately from CM10, or does CM10 include latest firmware?
Sorry to ask dumb questions, but I do hope this thread will also be a good resource for others like me.
You don't have to flash any firmware updates. There are a few users with issues although they may be related to the ROM update and not necessarily the firmware included. I haven't really checked since I'm s on. If you want to update the radios there's an update zip here somewhere, be sure to read through everything carefully. Radios are more risky then every day flashing
Alright everyone now I need some help!
I flashed CM10 after s-off, was on stocked 1.13 rooted rom.
Now when CM10 boots up I am faced with a phone activation screen. It says something like "you will not be able to place calls or access the mobile network until the device is activated". I am unable to make calls or receive calls or access the internet. I have tried reflashing cm10 and the problem persists.
In the mean time, I will try flashing a nand backup and see where that gets me. I appreciate any and all help, and I have found no posts in the CM10 thread with a similar issue.
Update: I wiped and restored a back-up, MeanRom 2.1. Upon boot, hands-free activation ran and activated the phone and downloaded a PRL update. Everything is working fine now. Not sure if I should try CM10 again or what? Any advice?

Rename the file to "PJ75IMG.zip", place on root of SD card, and boot into HBOOT to flash. Check the md5 to make sure its right. With radios you want to make sure its the correct file.

There is no RUU available yet that will work with the 2.95 update installed which is apparently how you go the phone. You can either get S-OFF and then flash the original RUU and take the two OTA updates, or try flashing one of the stock ROM's in this post. If you want to go back to almost 100% stock and unrooted you will need to flash the unrooted version of the stock ROM and then flash the stock recovery.
The one thing that won't be stock in that scenario is the bootloader since if you lock it the status will show "relocked" rhater than "locked".

You need to install the HTC drivers. Which version of Windows are you using?
Getting S-OFF with hboot 1.58 installed is still uncharted territory for VM users. I suggest you check out the related threads in this forum and post there for help since there are a lot of Evo V 4G users there that can help. They are actually looking for someone in your situation who is willing to try getting S-OFF so I'm sure you will get lots of help.

I flashed viper Rom (don't remember which one) and that gave me stock kernel. Then, I downloaded a .zip file with the drivers to the phone and used the jbear program to s-off. Then , I put 1.04.200 hboot and used the ruu to bring me back to stock. Updated my phone and I am all good. If I get all the folders together might make a tutorial on how to get s-off even after taking the OTS updates on s-on. Or prob. You can hel0 me ramjet73?

Well, we already have guides on both XDA and androidforums.com and the unlimited.io developers that created JuopunutBear have gotten very sensitive about having instructions posted in other places.
I'm curious how you did the wire trick since the Windows downloads are no longer on the unlimited.io website. Did you use an existing guide? At this point we are just trying to figure out what is the best version of JBear to use after VM users have installed the March OTA and have hboot 1.58.

I'm not sure ? I have the folder though , I can send it to you and you can take a look at it?

Yea, just for the jbear portion. I'd appreciate it if you can zip it up and upload it to dropbox or similar and PM the link to me.
As I said, at this point we are just trying to determine which jbear version works best with the Evo V updated to the March OTA and hboot 1.58. If the most effective process warrants a new guide I will be happy to work with you on that.

Program I used to S-OFF
I dont think its letting me send the link to the program i used. Can I post it here?
I created a similar thread the other day but it got so overwhelming and it was just confusing me more so I deleted it. I'm starting a fresh one so I can maybe explain myself better, not confuse anyone else and get better answers.
I just got a replacement Rezound in the mail today. My phone is currently on 4.05.605.14 710RD, LOCKED, HBOOT is 2.28.0000 & radios are 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r.
That last time I was able to S-OFF I used the wire method and ControlBear for Windows. I went to the website Unlimited.IO and they no longer support Windows so I have no idea on how to S-OFF since I did it months ago. However, I did find ControlBear v0.1 for Windows here on the forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27764982&postcount=2079 My first question is will this version work for me? If you download it and open it you can see the zips contents. I wasn't sure If had to RUU back down to an earlier version for it to work? And last time I ended up being on a Juopunutbear HBOOT somehow.
So basically I want to be able to get back onto CyanogenMod 10.1 properly this time. I haven't done anything to my phone yet, still unrooted, on stock, etc.. I know my first step is too unlock it using the htcdev website but from there I'm confused, I can't remember the steps its been too long.
I need someone to please explain how I can get back to CM 10.1 and remain on the latest firmware/drivers/hboot etc. So I need help with rooting, s-off, how to get TWRP recovery back on, which to do first, etc.
I appreciate the help and I'll make sure I save this in case it ever happens again. Also, my apologies again for the previous thread, it was just too much going on, I just need simple steps.
Am not positive but i think u will need Ubuntu as that one wont work on the new 2.28 hboot. So lets start with u installing ubuntu on a drive or live cd

ControlBear 0.1 worked for me on Windows, took a few tries but it finally pulled through. These where my steps:
1. unlocked
2. flashed recovery
3. flashed [ROM] OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted 5/1/13
4. flashed boot.img from the rom
5. did wired trick with CB 0.1
so i think im good now? just have a couple questions.
- my phone now says tampered/locked/s-off? last time i s-off it didnt have that tamper there, is this normal?
- im still on hboot 2.28.0000 & radio 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r. is this latest hboot/firmware/radio?
- im still on that rom that i linked above. im good to go ahead and flash and jb rom now?
- last, is there anything else i need to do with my phone? fixing the mainver, etc.

That's normal if you're still using an unpatched hboot. If you will still use some fastboot commands (I use fastboot boot zImage/fastboot flash zimage zImage alot) then look into vynlfreak's 2.27 patched hboot. DO NOT UNLOCK flash patched hboot instead.

Flash your rom and don't worry about mainver.
Just wanted to thank you two. I have always been hesitant about s-offing my phone. But seeing it here in a few simple steps gave me the courage to finally pull the trigger. I know I am super late to the S-Off party, but am thrilled to finally have arrived!
