Root Dual Booting??

Basically its using the boot manager app. It's not technically dual booting, as the roms run off of your sd card.
 
Just dual-booted into Gingerbread and back. No problems. Probably going to purchase the full version, which allows unlimited roms and sms/call log transfers between roms. Awesome! Thanks for bringing this thread to my attention.
 
I am dual booted with boot manager. S-off is required as you you can see in bold letters on the app website. It works pretty well but you have to re-install any apps that are on your sd card because the rom works completely on your sd card and acts as if it's sd card slot is the main phone memory.

I have a 3d but can't you guys use the wire trick to gain s-off? It's really more simple than it sounds. If you want I'll verify tomorrow on the juopunutbear support chat wether or not it will work with evo V.

Still i had a tough time with the wire trick myself.......

any way about hboots....

When the phone is first powered on and the power has stabilized, boot code stored in firmware on the CPU is run. This initializes the fundamental hardware components required to boot the system such as low level memory, USB and storage. After this is complete, the boot loader is located and takes over the subsequent tasks needed to load the kernel and any drivers needed for the devices before finally landing you at the shell. This is what will load our kernel and required drivers and boot us into our Linux shell. On HTC phones at least, this bootloader is often refered to as HBOOT. Once initiated, the HBOOT goes on to load the system using the /boot partition. The information stored on this /boot partition can be altered, as with any partition, and contains the kernel and ramdisk for the system.While it is safe to flash most partitions on your device, along with the radio, your hboot is the one that is most certain to brick your device if something goes wrong.

....... I hope that answers any questions you had

The ENG hboot has extra troubleshooting features, allows you to flash any radio, and works with most roms.

A few newer roms/kernels require the newer Hboot. Some older roms require the older hboot. It won't be long before you should be fine on the newer one only as the older roms fall out of favor or get compliant.

Once you get a radio that works, you can swap the hboot without worry.
