Rumrunner should work.
Being s-on sucks, but you can still run custom ROMs. You just need to download the ROM's zip file to your pc, unzip it and fastboot flash the boot.img.
Someone might still have the necessary files for firewater s-off.
Rumrunner is the only method to S-off Hboot 2.10. You'll have to be S-off to downgrade via RUU to an older Android version. Might want to hit up the Rumrunner thread and make sure that you've got your computer set up properly to run it. Firewater has been discontinued and is no longer supported by its developers.

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...
I seem to be in an unusual state with my phone. I downgraded to hboot 1.4 with the software downgrade method, but I can't seem to get root or s-off now. I've tried revolutionary, and it says failed to get root (as I'd expect since I don't think it was made for 2.17) and I found and ran ControlBear, and it says I need root (I think ControlBear is for the wire s-off though). I can't seem to find any steps here though, and would appreciate any advice on where to go now. What step am I missing? I want to get root, and clockwork so I can install a custom rom or two.
Or would this belong in the Q&A thread?

you have to be htc unlocked with a stock rooted rom to run controlbear
But, I have hboot 1.4, would I be able to downgrade to 2.08?

Yes I think, when I followed unknownforce's guide to downgrade there was a step to run the 1.13 RUU.EXE ( version b4 2.08) and then use revolutionary...so the phone will have hboot 1.4 and software vertion 1.13....
So I just spent a long time trying to get s-off on my evo lte. Well after a few hours and linux running on my windows pc I got lazy panda to give me s-off. Well I then decided to go ahead and install a firmware update with the new 1.19 hboot(I obviously wasn't thinking). My phone still has s-off but now has a locked boot loader. I'm pretty pissed and I don't think theres much I can do at this point, am I correct?

I've been s-off (1.12) since the exploit was found. Always thought you'd lose s-off or root if I updated the bootloader but after reading this thread, it sounds like I can update to 1.19 and just reinstall twrp?
Currently running Mean 3.6 with just the radio updates. Phone is running fine, any reason to update the bootloader?
Appreciate your help, there's a lot of info out there that contradicts itself.
You don't want hboot 1.19

Never a problem with asking questions. The user was S-OFF, so it doesnt matter that his H-boot said locked. He can do whatever he pleases.
The poster was suggesting he use an overly complicated method (HTC dev to unlock the bootloader and either fastboot flashing the recovery or using an app to do it) when all he had to do was install the recovery via the bootloader
He probably could just have easily installed the old 1.12 bootloader.

Reflash boot image through recovery you have to mount USB to get the file on your sf card then reboot system then go back to fastboot and accept the update

I recently bought my new Evo 3D from eBay. As far as I can tell, it is in perfect shape. I was hoping to flash it to Page Plus and was dismayed when I realized how impossible the rooting process looked. I began with downgrading my 1.58 HBOOT to 1.40. Now I am attempting to flash the 1.13 RUU so I can finally move on in this process, but every time I attempt to flash it (or any other RUU), I get the error, "Error [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR." Now most fastboot commands do not work, and my phone bootloops with the stock ROM. Any idea how to fix it?
I used the juopunut bear wire trick for s-off so excuse me if I'm a little ignorant here with the downgrade method. Once you are down to hboot 1.40 (which sounds like you were successful with) can't you use the revolutionary s-off tool?
Once s-off you can easily run any ruu but I guess I don't understand why you need to downgrade even further to s-off, when revolutionary (I thought) works with hboot 1.40 and 1.30

As I understand I can't use Revolutionary without booting into Android (since it needs ADB), which is currently impossible because of the bootloop.
I should also point out that HTCDev unlock fails for me. On hboot 1.58 the fastboot commands are successful, but I am never presented with the unlock dialog on the phone. On hboot 1.4 most fastboot commands fail. Also, I can easily restore to stock by flashing a PG86IMG which includes hboot 1.58.

So far, in every case I've seen, running the latest RUU has solved the bootloader unlock issue for people. I would run the 1.58 RUU and see if you can unlock the bootloader. Then go from there.
Or as I saw mentioned in the other thread, use the PG86IMG version of the RUU or extract it yourself from the exe. Flashing through the bootloader does not perform a cid check.

If I remember correctly, the HTCDev unlock doesnt work for the earlier bootloaders. It says so on the very first page when its walking you through the steps. I could be wrong but you may wanna keep that in mind
I have an HTC one that has been bootloader unlocked and running CM for some time. The bootloader version is currently 1.55 and S-ON. I'm hoping to revert to a rom that will work with rumrunner and allow S-OFF to happen.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've been looking for about an hour and can only find a leaked dev build of a rom for this phone that is flashable via recovery, the rest are all RUU files and I'm not familiar enough with RUU to know whether or not I'll take an permanent step in the wrong direction if I use one to upgrade.
Edit: please move to the right forum, I just realized I should have put this in another section instead of dev.

Since you are S-ON you will need to do the following:
Relock your bootloader
Leave your phone in FASTBOOT USB
Run this RUU 3.24.531.3 in Windows and follow the prompts
Follow rumrunner's OP instructions
The RUU will reset your phone back to stock and since your hboot is 1.55 this is the RUU which corresponds to that hboot.

Thank you for the quick reply, it worked beautifully. Now that I am S-OFF, if I am to run an RUU, will they set the device back to S-ON? Or do they leave that flag alone?

No, RUU will not set the flag to S-ON.
I keep getting error 155 during the RUU process. I have been researching and trying a bunch of different things but I cannot update the RUU
