[Q] Help with turning my s-off

[jjenners]

ok, I am definently someone who is still learning the Android ropes, but I do work in the IT field and am in school pursuing my advanced degree in the computer world. Anyways I have:
HTC EVO 3D PG86100
1.5 HBoot
2.3.4 OS
HTC Sense 3.0
2.6.35.13 kernel

I WANT ROOT!

I went through a few methods with no luck because I cant get s-off. I did HTC's method for "unlocking" but what good is that if I cant go further?
i have this:

****UNLOCKED*******
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.5.0000
eMMC-boot

OK, so for tools I have:
HTC drivers
SDK Manager
Rom Manager (paid version)
Terminal Emulator
Astro file manager
Super User (but obviosly no bueno)

I have DL so many things:
Visionary (didnt work)
Easy Off
revolutionay.io, etc. but no luck with anything.

I have rooted my previous phone HTC EVO (upgraded to the 3d, after i UNROOTED my EVO)

SO can anyone give me some specific answers along with some Links and the dl's to get it done? I am determined.
Thanks

Follow this link to an XDA posting. This should probably clear up anything that you had questions on. Hope it helps

Well, I did on my original 3d, but I replaced it and got a new one via (Sprint TEP) from a local Sprint Store (it was ordered). The new one already had all this on it.

I am going to be working on this tonight. I appreciate your help. What about the other suggested method of flashing from the sd card?

That's weird because me (and a bunch of other people on another thread) got replacement phones (brand new) with hboot 1.3 or 1.4, you sure it didn't update when you first turned it on?

Keep an eye on that in the future, never accept OTA's if you want to keep root/S-off. For right now, you can't really get S-Off, you can still flash other ROMs with unlocked bootloader and get root, but you cannot install another kernel.
