If you are s-off, you will not lose s-off. When you flash the new hboot, it will say s-off locked, but s-off > locked, so you will be able to flash whatever you want and go back if needed.
If I were you (what i did myself), is flash freeza's firmware update that doesn't include the 1.58 hboot. The ONLY reason to flash the new hboot is if you plan to flash a Rom with the new kernel. The 1.4 hboot allows you to flash everything, including Roms based on the new Ota.

bump as I would love to know this as well
Can anybody help ???
Do you have an RUU for the build that contains that hboot? You should be able to pull it out of the .exe or .zip version of the RUU, then repackage it to flash separately.
That's what I've done for hboots for the Evo 3D CDMA.

If you have a zip version of the RUU, you need to take the android-info.txt and hboot file out of the root of that zip and re-zip then into a file called PG86IMG.zip, then flash that file from your bootloader (assuming you are S-OFF). If you are not S-OFF, the only way to change the bootloader is to flash the entire RUU, or change it in the process of getting S-OFF.
If the RUU is an .exe file, mpgrimm2 has instructions on how to extract the files you need in this post.

I believe the hboot that you want is the original hboot that came with the evo on rogers, how do I know? I'm with rogers and when I unlocked my phone through rev. That was the number on my phone.

so now i dont know how to downgrade my hboot
ps sorry for my bad english
Go s-off, don't waste your time, most of the new roms require s-off to flash the firmware, there's a thread for doing the wire trick, look for it

Going S-OFF with JuopuntBear (wire trick) is definitely good advice. I was able to flash an RUU with hboot 1.50 over a configuration that had hboot 1.58 on an E3D CDMA model using the RUU.exe for the earlier release, but that was with S-OFF.
I have a thread in this forum about modifying the Main Version (mainver) of the phone to allow flashing of earlier hboots and RUU's, but I haven't tested that with S-ON and you will be better off in the long run getting S-OFF. Then you can flash any RUU or hboot you want.

[Q] HBoot download location

Hi all,
My HTC Evo 3D actually have HBoot 1.49.
Since I'd like to install the last version of the Viper 3D ROM, I need to flash HBoot to at least a more recent version of HBoot 1.50.
Could you please indicate me where I can find HBoot to download since I can't find anything when searching on Google ?
Thanks a lot !
Here's the the cool thing about viper. Viper3d can run on any hboot now.

Hi and thank you for your reply. This is good news not having to change the HBOOT.
Otherwise, and to know for next time, can you still tell me where you can find different versions of HBOOT for Evo3D?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
For gsm hboot 1.49 is preferred, you can flash is and jb roms without any issues

So I tried Viper3D with HBoot 1.49 on GSM but it freezes at startup, a problem that many other people had. And all these people say that it works fine with hBoot 1.50+.
But I am not able to find a superior version of HBoot (1.58 for example) for Evo 3D GSM. Could you please indicate a depot to me ?

1.53 hboot is latest on gsm but it has issues with viper3d. 1.49 is the best hboot for you. make sure you wipe data/cache/dalvik cache before installing. if s-on you need to turn on smartflash in 4EXT
As you mention you have 1.49 hboot so i'll just confirm, did you update to latest firmware? you need s-off for that

I strongly suggest you keep that hboot. I have booted viper3d just fine with the 1.49 hboot.
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using xda premium
So I reinstalled Viper3D with smartflash turned on in 4EXT. The phone reboot but still freezes (not at the same place but it freezes).
Then I installed the new bootloader.
Then I wiped all caches and reinstalled Viper3D (kernel Ziggy471).
Reboot and... IT WORKS !!! ))
THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP !!!
Could you explain to me in a few words what is smartflash in 4EXT and the difference between Ziggy471 and Anthrax Kernels ?
Smartflash is used on s-on devices to flash the boot.img otherwise you would need to manually do that in fastboot.
you are s-off so you dont need that option turned on.
for differences between kernels refer to their changelogs. Anthrax is quite feature rich, not so sure about ziggy.
btw Anthrax is banned on xda so refrain from asking questions about it
Try Buttered Toast. its based on anthrax and is gpl compliant

Thanks for this explanations. Very kind !
Sorry for Anthrax, I didn't know.
I tried the both kernels, installed by the Aroma installer from Viper3D. But with both of them I can't use the Wifi. Not working (
Do you have an idea on how to fix it ?
Do you think that if I install the Buttered Toast kernel it can fix this problem ? If yes, how do I install it ? Do I need to flash it trough bootlaoder ? Then reinstall Viper3D or not (reinstall will ask me to choose beetween Ziggy and Anthrax kernels again) ?
you mean the kernels were already present in Viper3D installer? if so then download anthrax(or buttered toast) kernel and install it from recovery after wiping Cache+dalvik. should solve wifi issue

Yes, during the installation of Viper3D, the Aroma installer ask to choose between Anthrax, Ziggy or stock kernels. If I choose Anthrax one, I have to answer some questions about overclocking and other things (but nothing about wifi). I I choose Ziggy one, all is done automatically, nothing to answer. I didn't try the stock one.
I'll try the Buttered Toast kernel now and I'll let you know...
in case it doesnt work do this:
use flash image GUI to flash a non-aroma kernel like yoda's v10.1
then flash whichever (aroma)kernel you want from recovery.

[Q] Update Revolutionary Bootloader

So I have an HTC Evo 3D with changed motherboard(That means that i cannot unlock the HTC method) and recendly I accomplished to downgrade it with the Ultimate Recovery Tool and unlock it with revolutionary.This means that I am in HBOOT 1107 with S-OFF,rooted and 4ext recovery...I managed to install 1 or 2 ROMs succesfully but when i tried to install Viped3D and an other one that uses Aroma and have sence in them they stuck in Boot screen...
I searched a bit and I figured out than i have to update my HBOOT...
Can anyone tell me if i am right and if i am how to do it without losing my unlock and root and without bricking my phone...
Thank You :angel:
Revolutionary hboot shouldn't be giving you problems with viper rom. you can try by changing hboot to 1.49.0007 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
But before you do just want to make sure that before you did this unlock method was your hboot 1.53 or an older hboot?
---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------
The reason i'm asking if you had hboot 1.53 is that most roms require the newer firmware: http://d-h.st/Mf1
This isnt a problem if in the past you had updated to ics(1.53 hboot) using RUU or official update. if you went from 1.49.xxxx to revolutionary then you need this for roms to boot

I dont really understand what exploit Unknownforce used to s-off replaced motherboards so maybe its a kind of bug with it.
So can you boot Jelly Bean roms right now?

I am currently running this version rooted with S-On. I have been trying a long time to get S-off to work on my device, but I cannot find the proper method. If someone can direct me to which s-off method works with 3.17.651 and hoot 2.09, that would be great!. Thanks for your help.
The only one that would work for me was moonshine. Have you tried that yet?

I am on 3.17.651 and I was not able to successfully S-OFF with Moonshine.
I forgot I was on 3.16. You could always go back to 3.16 s-off and then flash 3.17. A lot of stuff to do though.

If you have unlocked your bootloader and have a custom recovery installed, flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2127947&highlight=3+16+651+3, then use moonshine to s-off, then flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468418.
Restarting
When i try to flash the first .zip file it goes half way then the phone restarts and gets stuck on the splash screen am i supposed to use deodexed or odexed?

You have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM.

You don't have to be S-off to run CyanogenMod. You need to extract the boot.img from the ROM and flash it via fastboot commands in the bootloader. Then you can flash the ROM itself from recovery. I explain this pretty clearly in my guide.

Have you tried DirtyRacun (along with the BabyRacun process)? That might be your only bet.

I tried to do this (same boat with 3.17) and BabyRacun won't run because the version is above 3.16 and it DirtyRacun errors because of a version mismatch
"remote: 43 main version check fail"

Restore to stock?

I've had my 3vo for a while and now I want to revert it back to stock rooted.
I feel like a complete noob again at this 3D stuff.
I used the wire trick when I rooted and I think I read somewhere that you can't restore back and be able to get root again.
I have the PG86IMG file and the ruu exe.
What do I need to do to get my phone back to stock and still be able to get root again?

Thank you for the ruu.
Is it safe to just run that to revert even though I used the wire trick to get root?
And will I still be able to root again?

As long as you didn't switch to a custom unsigned Hboot it should run fine. As you are S off.

If i were you i would leave it be with S off. Then run a 2.89 RUU which will bring the device to 4.0.4, 1.58 hboot
Then flash Twrp or cwm via fastboot, flash SuperSU or Superuser and you're good to go.

Did you have some way I could check if it would be safe to just do the RUU?
Or do you know that it is safe to just run the RUU?
I just want to be back on a stock, fully functioning, rom and still have root. My current one is stock based but the dev abandoned it with bugs remaining.
