I'm trying to turn s off using jeunopobear method, one of the requirements is to have adb and fastboot drivers installed, so it didnt work. I have no clue what this means. I thought i already had the drivers installed because I was able to use the fastboot and adb commands to root my phone? Can anyone help me install these usb drivers?

yes am i supposed to do something with it?
i dont know if i had it enabled or not, but i do know that since it didnt work, i was stuck on the jeounpobear screen and had to flash the ruu again and wipe my system. i am not willing to try it again until i know what the issue was. I was watching a video that decribed how to do the jeunopobear thingy, and he was showing in the device manager on his computer that u need the adb driver installed. i checked my computer and it wasnt installed, so i have no clue what this is that i'm supposed to install it.
Hmmm. I don't remember doing anything special when I went s-off... I already had everything installed for unlocking the bootloader. Did you use sdk mini? Are you on windows? Was it saying that the entire time or after several failed attempts? Also did you follow all instructions and disable all apps on their list of conflicting apps? Such as itunes and also htc sync...
I really need to get to bed tonight. I'll look more into it tomorrow.
Also if you hit support at the top of their site you can chat with 24 hr help. They are very helpful there.

So when you connect your phone to the computer doesn't it recognize it? All I installed were htc sync and the sdk mini from the complete Newbie's Guide. That had everything I needed for control bear. My guess is either one of those is not installed or usb debugging was not enabled. If you used the newbies guide to root then you should have everything you need already. If you have a nandroid backup you really have nothing to lose except time. I honestly think maybe usb debugging wasn't enabled but it's up to you if you want to try again. I don't think they mention in the instructions to enable it so you may just not have thought of it.

If you think they really aren't installed try installing them from the link provided. But make sure usb debugging is enabled when you run the software.

In case you didn't see the prerequisites and General instructions. Like if you skipped straight to the device specific instructions.....
Prerequisites:
In order to use JuopunutBear you must meet the following pre-requisites:
1. Be unlocked using the HTCdev bootloader unlock.
2. Be on the stock ROM and be rooted (have superuser and/or an unsecured boot image installed).
3. Some custom ROMs may work, however we cannot verify them all. If you are not using a stock ROM and have problems then this is most likely the reason.
4. Have a spare microSD card or to have backed up all contents of your SDcard, the card may be wiped, while we try to restore the card to it's original state it is possible that this will not succeed.
5. Have fastboot and adb drivers installed and working (windows).
6. Uninstall any potentially interfering phone software which such as HTC sync, Andro sync, PDAnet etc, iTunes has also been noted to cause issues.
7. If you're running Windows you should disable any Anti-Virus or Anti-Malware software prior to running our tools, it may interfere with ADB.
8. If you're running Windows7/Vista you may need to reboot after you install the HTC Drivers.
9. Have a piece of insulated wire of sufficient length to join the contact points for your device. See images and videos for device specific information.
Instructions:
1. (Optional) Perform a full backup and replace your sdcard with one that you are willing to wipe.
2. Ensure that your battery is fully charged.
3. Choose the correct download for your device and operating system (found on the device specific instructions page which is found in the darkest grey box on the top of this page).
4. Extract the zip file to a new directory.
5. Verify the MD5 checksum for your download.
6. Read and/or watch the video for the device specific information for your device.
7. Turn ON USB Debugging on your device (Settings > Developer Options).
8. Verify Fastboot is turned OFF (Usually found under Power Settings).
9. Connect your device and set to "Charge Only."
10. (Optional) If you have ADB installed and you want to check your drivers:
Open a CMD prompt and navigate to ADB directory Type 'adb devices' You should see List of devices: HTXXXXX Type 'adb reboot bootloader' Your device will reboot and you'll see your computer installing more drivers Once it's finished type 'fastboot reboot' Proceed to running LazyPanda
11. Run controlbear as admin(windows) or root or using sudo on linux.
12. Follow the on-screen instructions from ControlBear.
13. Do not press any of the buttons on the phone during the process.
14. After doing the "wire-trick" your phone will reboot. The sequence of the reboot may vary somewhat from that you see in the videos as these were taken during various stages of development.
Please note the bold prerequisites and instructions.
Honestly it sound like you have installed the drivers so if you for sure downloaded the correct version this is beyond my knowledge.

That happened to me as well. Even a battery pull would not work. Leaves it plugged in the wall for 4-8 hrs. I left mine overnight. Then battery pull worked... Is it completely dead looking with no charge light or anything?
Is it still telling you the drivers aren't installed?

i was able to boot it up to the hboot, but not past it. I tried downloading the drivers earlier and i looked in the folder of device managers and i saw the adb driver, the problem is when i updated it and rebooted my computer, it dissapeared. so now im going to try it again so as the adb driver wont "disappear"
hey, it looks like it worked, on the hboot it now says locked ( not relocked) and s off. I just tried it now and i couldnt tell if it was working or not, i did the wire trick, but after it said success, the program was still trying to run stuff that said error for about 15 minutes, so i just unplugged the phone instead. Anyway, my issue now is that since my phone was not rebooted past the juopunutbear screen, i think i have to load a new ruu, will this do anything the my new s off?
Edit: actually, the whole reason for me doing this is to roll back to GB, can i just load up a stock GB or do i have to unlock first?

You do not have to unlock your bootloader anymore since you are s-off. You will need to run the GB ruu to downgrade. After you are stock gb you will flash recovery and then flash a rom or supersu patch if you want to be stock rooted. You won't lose s-off running ruu.
Congrats btw! It was probably asking if you wanted to install custom juopunutbear hboot. It's not needed.

Here is the gb ruu
This is for cdma sprint evo 3d. Do not use if this isn't what you have!
I like 4EXT touch recovery. Once rooted they even have an app if you're so inclined.
Obviously you can flash any recovery you want, I just like that one and doing it in app makes it simple. If you want to flash something else use a pg86img to do it. Don't unlock your bootloader again to use fastboot commands.
