This thread has directions on the process. http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...s/123069-how-unroot-1-5-hboot-htc-method.html
I am writing this because I had to do it. I hosed my phone and could not get it to boot into OS. I did get it to boot into recovery, and fast boot. This will work if you can get that far.

You will not need any special drivers loaded, etc...
- Download the stock ROM ZIP image from here: [Evo 3D] - Untouched Stock ROMs - Zip Format and rename it "PG86IM.zip"
- Copy it to SD Card
- Reboot phone into hboot mode by holding volume down and then press power. Keep volume down held until you boot into hboot mode.
- In hboot mode the phone will scan the SD card with the image. Once it finds it will ask you if you want to update. Press "Power" to update.
- Wait.... For a while. When it gets to "system" it will loop a few times. Its quite nerve wracking actually but after about 5 or 6 times it will complete.
- Once the entire flash is complete it will prompt you to "press power to reboot." Press power and your phone will reboot to 100% stock ROM.
- Once the phone has been flashed you will need to set the secure flag on the radio for S-ON to do this use "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" Make sure you are in fastboot menu. To do this power down and hold power down while powering up and select fastboot. I have attached the fast boot and adb files to the post.
Hit the THANKS button if I just helped you get back to square one! lol
Will this work if I can only get into fastboot, NOT BOOT INTO RECOVERY
moreover if i'm already s-on (hboot 1.5), do i need to writesecureflag 3
thanks and regards
Great job bud. Just make sure u mention that this is only stock ROM. Recovery is needed and if u need to take it to Sprint, they can tell you hacked it still. Just a warning and FYI for everyone
Also a suggestion would be to change the thread title to "return to stock ROM". Not bashing just suggesting. Once again great job and is straight forward.

Please help! I rooted my htc evo 3d hboot 1.5 using the HTCdev method. It worked fine and i had superuser. But then i tried to flash over a silverneedle kernal and it made my wifi say error. so i tried deleting the silverneedle kernel and erased data / cache and tried RCMix instead. still said wifi error. I tried flashing a new rom (MIUI) because i forgot to backup my original hardware. It didnt work and now im in boot loop. I can get to my recovery screen and fast boot so still can mount my SD but whenever i try to reboot my phone it just says HTC for about 15 seconds then shuts off. Any help would be great and if it would be easier for you to call me or skype me so you can see or hear whats happening thatd be great but otherwise can you please respond and help me get my phone back into a usable state?
Hello all, I have an HTC EVO 3D with HBOOT 1.58. I successfully performed revolutionary's unlock but can't get any further than that. Every image (ROM) i try to install winds up in an endless bootloop. When I drop the bettery out and restart with Power/VolDown, it tells me no img installed. Not sure what I did wrong, but figured maybe going back to stock and then following ramjet's guide would be an option so was ecstatic to find this thread. However this thread a) does not seem to apply to HBOOT 1.58, and even if it did I have checked all the links and can't find one good link to a ROM. Could someone **please** help me? My phone in it's current state is obviously not usable. ANy help appreciated! Thanks in advance!
