Soo I rooted my phone and installed a rom. I did not do the S-off feature. I now am wanting to put the phone in S-off . . . can I do this without re-installing the ROM or altering the current state of the phone?

There are three ways that I noticed . . which is the easiest and magical? I am using [ROM] Mobsterz/unSENSEable V1.1 http://androidforums.com/evo-v-4g-all-things-root/638604-rom-mobsterz-unsenseable-v1-1-a.html

Current status of the phone is (S-ON r) I recently have come into the issue where it is not saving my alert sound settings or ringtones as well. After restart it simply reverts back to default. I want to shut (S-off) to see if that makes a difference. < -- I read somewhere over the rainbow this was fixed by turning S-off buuut how did the guy do it after the rom had been installed?? Ahhh magical times . .

Can you post back here the entire contents of what your bootloader screen says?
You don't really need s-off if you only want to flash roms and kernels.
Being s-off allows you to flash radios and some other things..see this:

I have the evo 4g 3d.. . buuut the 3d works fine. which is weird. or is it? I thaught I was reading in the features of the rom that it did support 3d thats why I chose it.

3d image from the phone

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ncxgrs69hp0kg7g/IMAG0151.mpo

It looks 3d when viewed on the phone but I wonder what it looks like on the computer . . Can someone view this mpo file and tell me if it shows in 3d?

yeah you can't view 3d images like that. you can only view them on the phone. one of the many reasons 3d phones are not all that. you can't share images unless you share them with another 3d phone.

to be honest i would post your questions here:http://androidforums.com/evo-v-4g-all-things-root/. folks there should be able to help you better.

or i can move the thread there if you like as well.
