N00b here.
Was wondering the easiest way to get an Android 4.0+ Rom on my HTC EVO 3D (CDMA) phone.
I'm fine with ICS if that's the easiest.
Phone is rooted, S-On, hboot 1.5 unlocked.
I have 4ext
I see a lot of roms need hboot 1.58.
I tried doing the system OTA but it failed (probably since phone is rooted).
If possible I'd like to stay root after update.
I am currently on stock Android 2.3 GB rom
Thanks for your help!

Howdy guys.. I'm new to the scene an this is my first android phone.. but I always have to hack/tinker with my devices.. so here I am.
I'm a little weary about upgrading to ICS because from my understanding the ICS update also updates HBOOT and prevents S-OFF from being obtained? Is this true or is my understanding wrong?
I unlocked my bootloader, installed NRG's Gingerbread ROM (love it!) and CWM.. I have held off upgrading to ICS because I'm afraid if I upgrade to ICS BEFORE I obtain S-OFF, that I will ruin my chances of getting S-OFF in the future if I so desire.. is this true?
Or is it possible to still obtain S-OFF even after flashing the official ICS RUU?

It IS possible to obtain s-off on the ICS RUU, it has been confirmed by globatron himself, who developed the method. I believe you just need to use v0.4 or later of controlbear.
I upgraded to ICS stock with s-on. I can confirm that the s-off method works because I just did it several days ago.
Hi guys
Sorry if this has been already answered. I tried to search for solution many times and asked in threads of ROM but people give very vague answer. I don't want to risk losing my device and want to stick with easy rooting.
I followed this guide to root my phone: http://androidforums.com/evo-3d-all-things-root/494212-complete-newbies-guide-rooting-flashing-evo-3d-roms-kernels-using-fastboot.html. I installed everything but didn't do S-OFF. One thing I'd like to share is that I did unlocking through HTCdev and also that I run Rogers phone. Currently I'm using kingcobra 2.4 ROM.
So now I wanted to install ICS but I need to install new firmware. I tried to revert back to stock ROM and do ICS update but it'd stop at HTC screen and same thing happened when I tried to install ICS rom.
So I need to install this new firmware for sure, but I have S-ON I think. Now things I need to know and perform I believe are:
S-Off
Install new firmware
-------
Now do I have to do RUU update as well? If so, where do I do that and how do I know what RUU I am running? Also I'm running HBOOT 1.49.0008 because I did unlocking through HTCdev
-------
If I wanted to simply use the Rogers ICS update, how can I get it? Do I still need to S-Off? I did full back up. Please explain very clearly.
you want to go back to stock so you can install the OTA / official ICS rom?
You can dl the RUU from the htc website. Rename it to PC86IMG.zip and let it install in bootloader
Whats the link for it please? I am on Rogers evo 3d
Also I think i have the base RUU?
The only rom I installed had this:
"
Base: Rogers RUU 1.20.631.2 HTC EVO 3D (Shooter U GSM)
Android Version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Kernel: Your choice:
"
I chose original kernel, meaning not installing any. I don't think I need stock ruu now do I?
If someone can find me an easy S-off tutorial, I would be more happy to do that and stick with rooting.
I have spent too much time trying to find a way to update to ICS and I am regretting to root my phone now =[ I can't get ICS either way...
go to htcdev, enter your info and they'll let you dl the ruu for your phone.
i used s-off wire trick , try that for hboot 1.5
Hello everyone, I own Evo 3D some months and I am on hboot: 1.53.0007 ~~ Baseband version: 11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M ~~ HTC unlocked and S-ON. I want to do the wire trick from Unlimited.IO but I got the MIUI 3.2.8 (4.0.3 android). My phone is vodafone branded and I can't run RUU's to get stock.
My question is: which rom should I run to be able to work on JuopunutBear?? Thanks in advance.

Just try if controlbear works like described on unlimited.io site.
If it leads you to the point where you should do the wire trick, then it should be OK.
If it shows error you probably need the stock rom for your phone as a flashable zip.
Hello!
I need downgrade ROM on my HOX+ to any Europe ROM with Sense 4+, but I can't find way how to do that. HOX+ "is" S-off (java card), but RUU still show Error 508. Probably HBOOT downgrade is needed, but I can't find anything about how to do that. Can anyone help me with this?
Is bootloader locked
Is there anyway I can S-OFF this phone?
Current condition of my EVO 4G LTE:
S-ON
HBOOT=2.10.000
Stock Firmware 4.13.651.4 (Android 4.3)
Unlocked and rooted
TWRP 3.0 recovery
