Are you S-ON? Someone said there is an app? that will let you change it but you have to be S-OFF.

^This.
Only way to get rid of it is to go S-OFF. Then you can use RegawMod's S-ON Tool to restore it to complete stock, with LOCKED rather than RELOCKED in the bootloader.

Ok did all that and now says LOCKED...Is that all I need to to do or do I need to relock boot and flash ruu ?

Part of the process should've included flashing an RUU. Didn't it? It says locked - isn't that what you wanted?

PLEASE HELP!!! Stuck in fastboot

I am trying to go back to stock and i relocked the bootloader then it said Loading.....PH85IMG. Then it said Checking.......PH85IMG. After that it just went back to hboot. I have no idea why. Then I decided that i had to unlock the bootloader so i used the HTCdev method. I get to the last step that unlocks the bootloader. I type in the command then it just says waiting for device. I REALLY need help guys
Did you install the HTC Drivers?

Alright. So do you want to lock or unlock the bootloader? Your original post it kind of confusing.

I am trying to go back to stock. I locked it before to do that but it didn't work. Now I need to unlock it again
I figured it out. I got it unlocked. But.....why can i not go back to stock? I think it is because i still have Hboot .0004. Does anybody have the PH85IMG.zip file that i can go back to stock with for my recovery? It is very important because i am getting a replacement device
Well you need to reflash the stock ruu then relock the bootloader.
Edit:
If you look in development Xboarder has posted all the ruu files. The search bar would have found that for you. Xboarder also has a thread how to go back to stock.

That is what i tried. I need the older one for my version of hboot
I'm going to go on a limb here and not read the entire thread and just by the title, I can tell you that your bootloader is locked...unlock your bootloader and you won't have this problem!!! you are probably trying to flash an older .img file or something...unlock bootloader, once you're updated there's not way of going back to an older RUU, since baseband and kernel have been altered, I suggest you do an over the air update of the phone, and install the latest RUU that xboarder has provided. the only reason you would hang in fastboot is trying to flash a mismatched RUU.

oh ok..yea...then he's probably trying to install an outdated RUU or and incompatible RUU, same thing happened to me...so just like i stated...check your firmware version update to the latest 1.43 over the air...the flash RUU from xboarders page in develpment, I beleive he has removed the older RUU's so thats why you might have to do an over the air update, since older RUU's are not avilable..if you've already updated the firmware to the latest 1.43, then I believe you should not have a problem with the RUU. If you have not updated to the latest firmware...flash the stock recovery (you need this to get an over the air update), do an over the air update, then you can use the latest RUU. hope this helps...get back to me.

What firmware are you running currently?
If you have 1.43 then you need to relock your bootloader and flash a valid 1.43 PH85IMG.zip ruu.
You may also consider going back to stock rom, unrooting by rm /system/app/SuperUser.apk then flashing the stock recovery back. Afterwards relock your bootloader.

Let me rephrase.
What is your hboot version?
Did you ever install the 1.43 OTA firmware?

Then you have the 1.36 partitions with a rom based off 1.43 ruu.
That's probably why you're having problems.

You may need the 1.36 ruu and since the FBI shut down a lot of the mirrors we lost the links.
But all hope isn't lost. I still have the files! I'm working on uploading them now. It's just going to take about 5 hours for each and I'm uploading three for xboarder now.

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.

Confirmation – Am I at the latest update?

Hello All,
I flashed the latest RUU and was wondering if I am at the newest Kernel, firmware, hboot, etc…
Attached are screen shots of what I am showing.
Thanks for any information!

Hey LakerStar25,
No i did not re-unlock my bootloader. My understanding since i am s-off i do not have to? Also i think i can flash a different bootloader to get rid of the tampered message?
I just wanted to make sure i was all up to date. I was getting confused with all the talk about flashing the leaked kernel, RUU, and firmware. Wasn't sure which to flash do i picked the RUU. Guess that was the correct one!

once you are s-off it doesnt matter the state of hboot being locked vs unlocked. BUT if you want to do fastboot commands with ADB you will need to have an unlocked hboot OR and engineering hboot.

I ran the latest RUU with bootloader unlocked, s-on, rooted and I got everything except the latest radio and hboot. You have to relock the bootloader, then run RUU to get a complete upgrade.

Yes, I used ZedoMax unlock tutorial to unlock the first time. Why do you not wish to have the latest hboot?
I was hboot 1.15 when I ran the latest RUU unlocked and updated on the firmware. I decided that having the latest radio was important and you can not get one without the other right now from what I could find. So, I now have the latest radio and hboot, I unlocked the bootloader once again and reflashed my custom ROM.

Sure, here ya go.
Install SDK tools first - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw&feature=fvwrel
Relock bootloader - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yS7yy4XVA4&list=SP53B1EB8DBE7A5B59&index=1&feature=plpp_video
Update with latest RUU - http://stockroms.net/file/HTCEvo4GLTE/RUU
Hope this helps...I love mine after the latest hboot and radio together. It now has none of those pesky issues I was fighting.
P.S. after you relock, the phone will NOT reboot. Just keep it on "bootloader usb" and then run the RUU from your computer. Then unlock again. It will be all updated and run great.
I would suggest waiting as well. Chances are your missed calls and texts aren't going to be fixed by a new radio

I think the real chances are that s-off will be achieved on hboot 1.19 first, anyway. I haven't found one credible indication of anyone working on either though...

Its being worked on. Nobody is going to announce "oh hay guize I'm working on getting S-OFF". You'll know who is is when they find S-OFF and announce it.
What makes you think 1.19 will be found first? That doesn't really make sense.
I just think it makes more sense to have the latest radio. It was updated by HTC for a reason and everyone that wants it, not being s-off already, has to do what I did. Consequently, since the update I have LTE nearly everywhere I go in NW Houston, prior to the update was spotty connectivity at best.

Most people don't have LTE coverage yet, so for most the radio isn't worth hboot 1.19

Unless of course, you're having issues running a custom rom on the latest firmware and older hboot. Then, one may wish to look at the options even if they are the "most" as you say or the least as I clearly represent in your estimation.

Return to t-mobile

hey guys im returning my amaze to t mobile, so can i just send it with the stock ruu and re locked boot loader, or they might make me pay extra charges. i wanna return it because the buttons are not working correctly.
Return to stock as possible. Relock and flash RUU should be all you have to do....unless you changed your CID then you'll need change it back also..
