LOL!Really? Maybe I'll have to buy him a beer for his work (Or a shirley temple if he's too young)
I doubt it since he said he just bought a house in SC in his ROM thread on infectedrom.com.

There's a whole thread on that (http://androidforums.com/evo-v-4g-all-things-root/671631-wires-s-off.html), and some advice about it on the unlimited.io website.
Many people have been through the process before so try using the forum search function to find answers to you questions before you post them.

Good luck!

I'm not sure why the jmz ROM won't boot, but since you are S-OFF and have a custom hboot already, just flash 4EXT recovery using fastboot, then "format all partitions except SD card" and flash a Sense based ROM. You will need to downgrade the bootloader to run AOSP based ROM's.

okay so we have a problem. i flashed hboot eng 1.04 and i got a black screen. after i flashed and got the black screen i rebooted into the boot loader after pulling the battery. and i go a message asking for another update so i said no. or clicked volume down whichever works for you. and then i pulled the battery removed the sd card. put the battery back in. rebooted to the boot loader. plugged my phone in. removed the battery and put the sd card back in. i rebooted to recovery and flashed the stock rom. i black screened. so i just flashed the stock 1.57 hboot using fastboot comand prompt. and im going to flash jmz's stock rom again. what do i do? am i bricked?

I'm having a similar problem. I successfully s-off'ed using JB 1.57 and now I'm also looping. I had flashed JMZ stock ROM before before running ControlBear. Rebooted and looped. Tried to restore my Mobster back up and looped. Flashed hboot 1.04 and still looping. Not sure what I did wrong. Any advice?

If you are using 4EXT Recovery did you disable SmartFlash (S-ON)?
Edit: Never mind, as I saw that you created a new thread for your problem.

Yeah didn't mean to post the same thing twice but I remember seeing this thread and it was similar to what happened to me so I posted here. Then figured I'd have better luck creating my own tread.
Anyway problem solved I think. I tried everything. Flash ROMs I knew should work with the 1.04 hboot, going back and and flashing JB 1.57, restoring my back ups, flashing JMZ's stock, changing recoveries {4ext, TWRP, CWM}. What finally worked was Flashing CWM and JMZ's stock like this thread says to do http://androidforums.com/evo-v-4g-all-things-root/626186-easy-guide-get-out-bootloops.html
Don't know what nothing else worked but glad its over. Now my concern is that I won't be able to boot anything else after going through all that.

Wait, so if I am just rooted with S-ON and stock rom and do the wire to trick I will get s-off? I know that's not exactly what you said but I'm just wondering. Also, what else do I have to do? With hboot and stuff

If you are on the stock, or a close to stock ROM, and rooted using the htcdev bootloader unlock you can try the wire trick and if successful you will gain S-OFF.
