Just curiius for a little insight, I rooted my sprint EVO 3d today, or i had thought I did, I unlocked the bootloader ( 1.5 ) with the HTC dev, then used the guide and the adk tools, and flashed the stock ROM wich im fine with, now my titanium backup works, and all my other root aps work fine, the SU works fine, no problems, but when I boot to the bootloader to check, it still has the same old menu and s is still on, did i do something wrong, or is this the way it is.... O I miss my EVO,

It should say UNLOCKED above the HBOOT 1.5 SHIP S-ON description. Unfortunately, HBOOT 1.5 can not be set to S-OFF. If you want to get full S-OFF, you need to downgrade the bootloader to 1.4. To downgrade the bootloader to 1.4, you have to temporarily brick your phone. This is not something for the faint of heart.
If you're interested in downgrading, please check out this thread: [TOOL] HBOOT Downgrade Toolkit Live CD - Free Your Phone. S-OFF. - xda-developers
For beginners and even some novices at rooting, I would recommend you stay with HBOOT 1.5. The process isn't as bad as it was before and there are tools that make it less painful and almost as if you have S-OFF. For patient novices and those use to playing with command prompts, the live CD or the complete manual way is available and recommended, because S-OFF is better. And that is here: [DOWNGRADE HBOOT/UNBRICK] HBOOT 1.50 -> 1.40 for S-OFF/Root - xda-developers
The command you're looking for is:
But that doesn't work for HBOOT 1.5 users. That will set S-OFF to S-ON. The command to relock a 1.5 bootloader is:

There's a word right before secure I just don't know off hand.
The command you're looking for is:
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3But that doesn't work for HBOOT 1.5 users. That will set S-OFF to S-ON. The command to relock a 1.5 bootloader is:

The only thing you can't do with S-ON Unlocked that you can do with S-OFF is flash new radios and other firmware. You can flash AOSP ROMs with S-ON Unlocked.

So your saying I can still flash roms and kernels like normal so I can overclock?

Once you install 4EXTRecovery, you can. But you can still install custom kernels using other recoveries, you just need to use fastboot and a PC to do it.
