Yes and not if you downgrade hboot back to 1.4 or 1.5 (which you can do since you are s-off).

[HTC EVO 3D] kMogs17:
So is it best to update bootloader as well because it let's you boot the new base and there is really no downside to it? I don't care about the new base as I run paranoid android with 3.0 kernel but if there's no reason not to update bootloader I will right now I'm 1.40.1100 revolutionary used unknown force to downgrade and s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If you want to update your best choice would be to use freeza's zip without the bootloader since the CM9 based ROM's don't like to boot with the 1.58 bootloader. You can always flash the 1.58 bootloader later if you decide to run the 2.89 stock kernel, which won't boot without it, and can switch between the two bootloaders pretty easily since you are S-OFF.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] kMogs17:
Perfect answer thank you :)
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
To add to that, the GB ROMs don't like it either afaik. So I did Freeza's zip as well.

So any help on how to to downgrade the Hboot? I was trying to install the update via the OTA shooter ICS thread and installed the new firmware which updated the Hboot to 1.58. I was running GB Scottrom and now the device is stuck in bootloop! I wish i had read this thread before. How should I get out of the bootloop? :crying:

This update doesn't seem to take for me...my radio still says 1.09 and my release keys says 1.11 what should it say?
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
It took. That is correct. To check if your hboot flashed boot to it and see (if u used that one). To change the rest load a.2.89 based Rom like Meanrom ics v2.6.

Ok thank you
[HTC EVO 3D] Alpine-:
HALP! I b0rked my wifi somehow. Not sure what I did that caused it.

1. I did a full wipe a flashed MeanRom ICS 2.6

2. I then flashed Anthrax 3.0.4 (not a 2.89 based rom so no need to update HBOOT from its current 1.4 S-OFF) - all was well, no issues, wifi working.

3. I then flashed Freeza's modified Firmware update so that it would bring me to the current radio version, etc. This firmware package leaves Recovery and Kernel partitions untouched. Everything worked fine, or so I thought.

Later I noticed I could detect wifi signal but not connect to any of them.

I'm assuming flashing the firmware/radio update caused this somehow. i.e., the order it was done in? I tried flashing the kernel back over it again to fix it, no luck. Will the 2.89 based firmware/radio package not work with non 2.89 kernel?

Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Well, provided MeanRom ICS 2.6 doesn't require the new 1.58 HBOOT, I would reflash the kernel.

That kernel needs 2.89 firmware but will not flash properly with with the new HBOOT. If you flashed before updating the firmware that could be the issue.

However, if you are on HBOOT that kernel will not work, there are newer ones that will flash properly on HBOOT 1.58.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alpine-:
OK, first, I dont think this Anthrax 3.0.4 kernel

requires

2.89 firmware, does it? Worked fine before without it. This kernel is

not

2.89 based at all, thus no need for the 1.58 Hboot. That is only when using a 2.89 kernel as I understand it. It all worked fine before I updated the firmware with the 2.89 OTA modified firmware package (Freeza's in this thread). Now Wifi is broke.

I did flash the kernel back over it again but it didnt fix it.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
It is stated that it MAY need 2.89 firmware to work correctly. It's not about needed 1.58, if you are on 1.58 and try running 3.0.4 it will not work. Also, 1.58 bootloader may cause Issues with flashing it completely. 3.0.5 and higher I believe will run on 1.58 hboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alpine-:
SOLVED

Wiped and Flashed MeanRom 2.6 clean. This time, the 2.89 based firmware was ALREADY installed. Next, i restored my prior 2.6 Nandroid (data only). Checked Wifi and it worked again, I could connect to hotspots. I then flashed latest Anthrax and wifi still works.

My guess is that best practice should be to flash the firmware THEN the rom you intend to use to avoid conflicts. In the prior case, I had flashed the firmware after the rom and kernel install. I'd installed the rom first coming from the older OTA firmware (2.17 I believe). Normally this would not be an issue I dont think, but this fixed it.

any help would be great thanks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You cannot flash a new bootloader or firmware from the current bootloader if you are S-ON. You will need to either gain S-OFF first via the JuopunutBear wire trick or the hboot 1.4 downgrade, or load the 2.17 RUU.exe from Windows, then take the OTA update for Sprint's ICS. If you do the latter, you will also need to HTC unlock and flash a custom bootloader after the OTA.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
You have to be s-off to flash it through bootloader. Either get s-off or lock bootloader, flash GB, take ota, unlock again.

Locked, S-OFF HBoot 2.89 Stock

I am currently Locked, and S-off, (Via JBear) upgraded to Sprint ICS (OTA) and at Hboot 1.58. I need to get Unlocked and went to the HTC-Dev site (I did this before to gain unlock when I was on 2.08) and (the HTC site) they only show and unlocking process for 2.17 and not my current 2.89. how do I get it unlocked?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You don't need to unlock the bootloader. S-OFF trumps a locked bootloader and lets you do everything you can do with an unlocked bootloader and then some.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] videorick:
Ramjet73, Thanks for the quick reply. My problem is since the HBoot is locked I don't have root access like I did before when I had unlocked it via the HTC-Dev website. As an example, those apps like SU, rom manager, tethering, etc.. that require root access don't work. I would like to add some minor updates like jelly bean, sense 4.0, Beats/Sony audio etc... Addmittly, I'm somewhat a novice at this (as we all are at one time or another) so if you can show me a work around or anything, I would be most appreciative!
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
What recovery and what Rom are you running? If you are on a custom recovery like 4ext, you can flash a custom rooted Rom.

Save the Drama for your Mama with Tapatalk 2
[HTC EVO 3D] videorick:
I am currently on the Sprint stock ROM (per the OTA upgrade) and no current recovery. I would however like to change that save for my SU not working (which I attribute to being locked). should I look at and install 4ext?

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

Again, when I launch the ROM Manager app it says that I must have root for this to work.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Flash the attached version of 4EXT from your bootloader, do a backup of your current ROM to have a completely stock version available, then flash any ICS rooted ROM you want, but GB ROM's don't work with the 1.58 bootloader. Make sure to reflash 4EXT recovery from the app when you are up and running to get the current version.

You will have to switch to another bootloader if you decide to run a GB ROM.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] videorick:
Again, Thanks for the help! So far I like the ICS over the Ginger Bread so I won't worry about going backwards. I will flash this shortly and make a BU the current ROM. Will the SU and ROM Manager work afterwards? Am I over thinking things as it relates to being Locked or Unlocked?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
As long as you flash a rooted ROM from 4EXT after you backup your stock ROM you will be fine. Forget about the locked versus unlocked bootloader because it doesn't matter anymore.

[HTC EVO 3D] treyweez11:
Are there any good things that this firmware will do for you?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
It lets you run the 2.89 ICS build the way HTC/Sprint designed it, and that's about all that's known for sure at this time.

It's more likely that running GB firmware (2.17 or earlier) with 2.89 based ROM's is going to cause some problems with the radios or bootloader. The bootloader issues have already been identified to some extent, but radio issues are much harder to isolate.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If you want the 0.97 radio, have you tried flashing the RUU.exe for the 2.08.651.2 or 1.13.651.7 GB build? I don't know for sure that the firmware can be downgraded, but that might be worth trying.

The bootloaders are all here. Just download the one you want and put it in the root of your SD card, rename it to PG86IMG.zip, and start your current bootloader. Flashing a new bootloader will not change your S-OFF status. Make sure to clear cache+dalvik after you change bootloaders as 4EXT will keep you in "safe" mode until you do.

Just like ramjet said. As long as you are S-Offs you cab switch back and forth bootloaders all you want.

[HTC EVO 3D] bigwillyg:
Dude, just flash the whole firmware minus the hboot. There are probably bits and pieces missing from the rest.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Or flash the 2.89 RUU.exe which will give you a totally stock Sprint ICS base to start from. If you are S-OFF you can just download it and flash it from Windows.

You will have to flash a custom recovery from the bootloader or fastboot on the PC if you do, then restore a nandroid or flash a rooted ROM, but it's really quick and leaves you with a known quality instead of a piecemeal configuration.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] jb14813:
I used the download package listed in this thread the one that has everything but the hboot and i did start from scratch after i did the wire trick and everything my phone still had a stock rom and firmware then i applied this firmware update and installed a custom rom. i was wondering if there was a way i could simply flash another radio firmware without loosing my rom and data on my phone
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
At the bottom of Post 11. My Gathered RUU .exe/.zip Links you can find a link to all the Gu1Dry's "Radio Only zips". You can try flashing a prior radio if you are s-off. Ie: ICS 1.09.00.0706 back to 1.06.00.1216. Some have reported better signal strength on prior radio.
[HTC EVO 3D] karatche:
So why does it still say on the first post that the second update , the one with h-boot will write s on? This should be clarified on first page if it's not so. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
You read it wrong. It doesn't say that. If you flask the new hboot and you're already s-off it will not change that, although your bootloader will say locked, s-off. Two different things
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
No, he's right. This is what the OP says:

Flashing firmware, including the bootloader, does not change your S-OFF status so freeza really should change that since it's misleading.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
You're right :( I overlooked it at the very beginning. Ramjet is right, changing bootloaders and flashing firmware will not change S-Off status. I think the only way to do that is to run an ruu.exe.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The only way to change from S-OFF to S-ON is to use the "fastboot writesecureflag 3" command from a PC, and you don't want to do that unless you have a completely stock bootloader installed or it will brick the phone. Running the RUU is a good way to get everything back to stock before running that command, and you might want to relock the bootloader if it is unlocked as well assuming the phone is being replaced or passed on to someone else.
