S-OFF on Flashed EVO LTE - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I just bought a EVO LTE flashed to boost mobile. I want to s-off so I can flash the new JB firmware... I am wondering if anyone has achieved s-off with their flashed phone with ill results? I am hesitant because i currently own an evo 3d, and when s off finally came out for the 3d, it completely erased my flash to boost, and I had to get the phone reflashed... Before I attempt this, I want to make sure it is not gonna mess up my flash like it did on my 3d... anyone have any experience?

anybody? I know for evo 3d users, even ones who were on sprint had issues after s off and had to get their phones re programmed. Has anybody experienced any issues after s off? boost or sprint?

I think the phone would have to be s-off to flash to boost in the first place so are you sure it is really s-on? Maybe it has the s-on spoof bootloader. How would you s-on a phone and still maintain boost mobile? Also I believe if you try and s-off you will end up on sprint

A few people used the dirty racoon and it resets your phone to the sprint network

thanks for the replys... I checked the bootloader, and it says its locked, and s on... guess Ill have to wait until I can flash JB from a custom recovery

Definitely after updating to Jelly Bean you will have to get you phone reflashed to boost. Mms will likely be borked at the least if not re flashed to boost. Had that issue on my 3d

Iwonder, cause when I upgraded from GB to ICS I didnt have any problems with my flash, other than having to change the mms url

Anyone tried to s off their flashed phone yet?

You need to flash chads rls 1 kernel, from what ive read its the only way to get booted on HBOOT 1.5
can u send me a download liink please
you're honestly better off not flashing that Kernel. you need true S-Off for the real ICS experience. that kernel will make everything laggy/buggy and charging will not work while phone is on, as well as random resets AND 3D/4g will not work.
One of the main reasons I decided to S-off is to use the stock Linux 3 kernel on ICS and EVERYTHING works flawlessly so far! look in the development section for jopounutbear's S-off guide, should be on the first page. took me a couple tries but it's worth it. Truly made me feel like I got an early upgrade and a new phone!
If you S off with that trick, PLEASE read the entire thread. Also, try 4ext as your recovery and see if if you can flash ICS roms with it. While some the majority of people were able to use the wire trick successfully, some people were having lots of issues as well.
Personally, 4ext recovery worked beautifully for me and the wire s off method was a nightmare. Best of luck to you!

The problem is not your recovery Chads Rls 1 kernel will break 3d but 3g and wifi are good. The only way around it is to downgrade HBOOT then you wont have to flash rls 1, the stock ics kernel is fully functional

An unlocked bootloader is NOT s-off... I HIGHLY recommend you downgrade or to gain the True s-off . Installing an ICS Rom on an unlocked bootloader just means your lazy. It's like eating an Artificial ice cream sandwich. AKA not original, changed. Not as good. I don't know.

Is it Possible to Unflash an Evo 3D Flashed to MetroPCS?

I have an Evo 3D which is currently flashed to MetroPCS and I'm interested in getting a new phone, so I want to sell it on eBay or something of that sort. I was wondering if it's possible to revert back to all of the original Sprint settings and make it as if it were never flashed before?
If you really want to have it all back to stock, you need to relock the bootloader and then flash the Sprint stock ruu.
what do you mean relock the bootloader? The phone hasn't been rooted, if that's what you are referring to. I am hoping somebody could give me a little info on how I can do what coal said? Thanks.
Then just run the 2.17 ruu and you should be good

I assumed you were rooted since you said it was "flashed" to Metro. If it is not rooted or unlocked, then you only have to do what iTz said and run the ruu.

HI i'm kinda a noob on this stuff (but learning) ...anyways
I can't seem to be able to get ics on my evo 3d .. it's a sprint cdma version it's got s - off all I want is a kool rom/kernal with the following
i think the problem is that im using gsm roms/kernals (why can't developers put that in their descriptions)
I'm looking for the following features
(CDMA)
I.C.S.
3d camera
over-clocking
battery saver
full beats audio
and some kool eye candy
i tried many roms and kernels but nothing works.. either the phone freezes at the first htc screen .. or it goes to the first htc screen vibrates and then reboots in a loop (i found a few were gsm such as king cobra)
i tried the fastboot method .. clockwork mod...and 4ext.. nothing works ... am i loading the wrong kernal/roms... mabe someone can point me to what im looking for ?
can anyone help me ?
thank you so much

Yes, it would be better if you gave us more details. Such as, what ROM you are using.
ALso, can you create a step by step run down of your flashing process?
Maybe we can see what you did wrong.
The first post has enough information. Sprint is CDMA, King Cobra is GSM. You need a ROM from the CDMA development forum.

Go to the EVO 3d cdma development. The gsm and cdma sub forums are split. I'd recommend using the kernel that comes with the Rom. And no, you can't use any kernel with any Rom.
Just find a Rom that you like and flash it. Don't worry about kernels as much.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
If you really want to tweak your system and stuff, you can get the Anthrax kernels (search google). Though you have to sign up to their forum. Also, make sure you read which version the kernel is for. No every kernel cannot work for every version.
can i do this?

ok its a sprint evo 3d flashed to boost
on that link it says -- 1.2.17.651.5 ROMs need the latest firmware. See freeza's all in one firmware update if you haven't done that already. If you unlocked via the HTC method, you know the drill: you'll have to take the OTA and then re-unlock.--
the thing is most of the features i want are handled by the kernel such as o.c / battery saver / beats / ect... thats the only reason i want to change my kernel
heres the question,,, being i originally did the htc unlockr which made it s-on then did the wire trick and made it s-off will i still need to unlock the phone then relock it ..see here is the problem we found that when we did the wire trick i had to reflash to boost it reset the sprint info (at least that what we think happend) ... and this is not an option right now (the guy that did it for me is at school)
is there a way i can install the freezas firmware..anthrax kernel(which it requires) and the mean rom with out having to reflash boost?
If you are already s-off, then no do not relock. I would really suggest you just start all over. Because if you keep on flashing you could mess it up.
Just take thr ruu for your phone version and start over. You may loose root. But i believe you will still be s-off.
Root again then install recovery, make backups, wipe everything in recovery, then install the rom.
By the way you will have to use joeykrim's flashimageGUI app to flash the kernel before the rom IF you are on1.5 hboot. If you are 1.4 hboot disregard.

thats the part i think if load the stock ruu it resets it back to sprint ...also i am on 1.5 but i thought that was the point of going s-off so i i dont have to use programs like flash image gui... (although i have tried it)

Like I said, I think ou should start over. Take the 2.17 ruu.exe. I also suggest you downgrade via the "bricking" method and then root using revolutionary.
If you don't want to do that then, root with htc method. And do not install the boost firmware! Install recovery, make backup, use flashimageGUI or 4ext. And install rom.
You have to do this on 1.5
If you downgraded to 1.4 then you can disregard flashimageGUI
I think your problem is that you flashed the boost firmware. You could have kept the original meanrom and nothing would have happened.
Just start over.

New OTA 2.13 Root via HTC Dev

Due to WiFi issues on the release day OS, I took the 1.22 OTA and screwed root. I knew it would happen but the fixes outweighed the issues. I waited to see if root would be achieved via Regaw or the like since I didn't want to lose any of my configuration. Now... Sense 4.1 was just too tempting to pass up and since I wasn't rooted anyways, I went for it.
I decided to attempt root and start from scratch anyways as I was having random app issues and some bloat problems.
The root method from HTC Dev worked flawlessly on the new new OTA and I was able to load TWRP and SuperUser via fastboot (instructions can be found by searching as I did).
So now here is the question: where does this leave me as far as flashing ROMs... Obviously I am aware that I am S-On and know those limitations. My issue is if and where any limits may apply now that I am HBOOT 1.19. Will I be stuck with only 2.13 ROMs that we're built based on the new HBOOT or can I flash any Rom based on 2.13 (or even older revisions)? I cant risk bricking so I am asking to be cautious as well as your answers providing any new users coming in with new phones running the latest OTA.
Thanks
Why did HTC update hboot 1.15? Because they discovered an exploit flaw that we could gain S-OFF with, which is FAR better than being on HTC Dumlock. If you are not concerned with obtaining S-OFF via LazyPanda and the like, this should not be a concern.
Also, being on the new hboot means that backwards compatibility to ROMs that are not based on the new OTA could become an issue.
Sent from my LTEVO via XDA Premium
New h boot for you only means that you won't be able to get s-off for a very long time probably since nobody has figured out how to even s-off h boot 1.15 yet. You shouldn't have an issue flashing any rom from my understanding as long as it's through recovery.
Edit : I would listen to Michael on this one regarding ROMs sounds like he knows more lol.

Yes, you will be stuck flashing 2.13 roms with the 2.13 kernel. However, you can use one of the workaround methods (fastboot, flash image gui, twrp dumlock) to flashing an older kernel, and then flash roms based on a previous OTA base.
A ROM doesn't include an HBoot though, so there shouldn't be ROM/HBoot compatibility issues, right?
No, you can flash whatever version of android you want

I don't think that's quite right (I could be wrong though).
If he wants to flash a JB-based ROM, he will definitely have to flash the boot.img separately via one of the workarounds mentioned.
If he wants to move between Sense-based ROMs, he *might* be OK. But he will not get any tweaks the dev may have made to the kernel included with his respective ROM.
I was referring to the question above me that asked about ROMs interfering with hboots
Having an old ROM on a new hboot won't cause issues.
Naturally, you need to have a working kernel for your ROM. So yes, you'll need to make sure you have the right kernel.
If he goes from any ROM to a ROM on a different base you'll have to install the correct kernel. . But I don't think that's what he was asking

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, a ROM includes a Kernel, so when you flash a ROM you're swapping kernels.
The only kernel incompatibility would be if you flashed a ROM then flashed a Kernel, then you have to be careful.
If anybody is absolutely certain that this isn't the case and not just guessing, let me know and I'll stand corrected.

That's true for 1.12, since it allows you to flash kernels through recovery. The newer versions don't. That's the reason for using the fastboot or dumlock workarounds. That being said, I haven't heard anyone confirm yet that these methods still work on 1.19...I'm interested to know.

From what I can tell... No. You have to run HTC Dev first in order to get to where you can load a recovery program at which point you will have already had to wipe your phone to factory defaults.
It's unfortunate and the main reason I waited so long to unlock this way but as previously stated, Sense 4.1 was too hard to pass on

Yes, every ROM includes a kernel.
But Hboot 1.15 and above do not let you flash things to the boot partition in recovery. The kernel goes in the boot partition. So you can't flash kernels normally through recovery.
If your on a sense ROM and flash an AOSP rom, the phone wont boot
If your on an AOSP ROM and flash a sense ROM, the phone wont boot
If your on an old base and flash a new base, the ROM will have issues (if it even boots)

Basically, if you ever have an issue with your phone and doing a reset doesn't help you....you can run this file through your computer and it will reinstall everything as if you never opened the box....its more useful for people that flash custom Roms due to the fact that sometimes flashes go horribly wrong and ONLY option is to have this file to restore phone. Hope that explains it a bit. In your case good to have but if you plan on staying completely stock you prompt won't need it.

Yet, Gmail and YouTube work perfectly fine despite being slightly outdated due to no Play store there updating them. I have tried every suggestion from factory resetting to clearing cache for Google play framework under apps. Even signing in and out of my Google account doesn't work. Please help!
I just wanted to know if that ruu works fine or there is any issues with it? Thanks.

fair warning to all, this update has been known to cause issues. there's a good chance it will break root, turn S on or update your Hboot. even if you jusy flash the radio. If you want to keep your Hboot or root, check out the androidforums LTEvo root section.

Interesting. Yes, updating with the RUU (or the JB update in general) will cause you to lose root, but all you have to do is dev unlock your phone and root it once again. There have been no reports here thus far of anybody losing S-off by upgrading to the newest Hboot, as long as they were S-off prior to upgrading. Also, there have been no reports of any issues upgrading the radio or other firmware, assuming somebody didn't flash the wrong file in their bootloader and update everything, including their Hboot. I don't know what's being said over on other forums, but I keep up pretty well on here. The only known issue has to do with system write issues for users who are S-on with Hboot 2.09, and there is already a fix for that. It even appears as though Dirty Racun may work to gain S-off with the newest Hboot
