I'm running it fine with JBear 1.50.5050, which is more compatible with TWRP2 than ENG 1.04. The OP says not 1.58, which means no 1.57 either. Anything at 1.50 or lower should work.yep...
should have s-off and eng hboot
What do we have to do to get this to play nice on VM?
We don't need to change any network settings? I'm already S-OFF and I'm on JBear 1.50.50 HBOOT which should also work.from the look of things, S-off and ENG Hboot. it is just released today so if u want everything to work, will have to wait a bit.
I haven't tested it with 1.1.1, only 2.3.3.0, and that version gets partition errors with the ENG hboot so I recommend the JBear 1.50.5050 hboot if using TWRP2 (touch). The best way to find out is to start the recovery and then check the log to see if it is reporting any errors with the hboot installed.ENG Hboot ok with TWRP 1.1.1 ?
You might still be fine with TWRP 1.1.1, it's just that dastin won't support booting issues unless you are running the recommended configuration. I flashed and booted it successfully with the JBear 1.50.5050 hboot, but I do have the current Sprint firmware and use 4EXT.thats a bummer .. since my initial backup is on 1.1.1, don't care for touch recovery and they no long offer the free version 4EXT on playstore.. why cant things just stay simple

If you check the OP for the ROM, dastin recommends 4EXT recovery, hboot 1.04 and the latest Sprint firmware, which for VM users would be the 1.09.00.0706 version that came with the OTA. I'm sure other combinations of recovery, hboot and firmware will work but those are the developer's recommendations.

Look at the log file after you start TWRP 2.3.3.0. There are errors on the misc partition and the partition sizes are off from what they are with the 1.50 and 1.57 hboots. See http://androidforums.com/evo-v-4g-all-things-root/663486-twrp-2-3-htc-evo-3d.html for more detail.Twrp2 works fine with the eng hboot... I've been using it with the eng hboot for months without a single issue.

Yes, for day-to-day use.Would you recommend hboot 1.50.5050 over hboot 1.04 for the htc evo v 4g?
Most of the fastboot commands that the engineering bootloader adds are supported by the custom hboots, and the ones that aren't are pretty dangerous, which is why I usually recommend the JuopunutBear GB 1.50.5050 hboot. My philosophy is to use the most current version that works and I would recommend the JBear ICS 1.57.5757/1.58.5858 version if it flashed and booted all ROM's. From what I've seen here and the XDA forums, the rest of the original firmware upgraded by the OTA works fine, so the bootloader is the only thing I would change, and only if you need it to flash and boot GB and/or AOSP ROM's.Now that S-OFF is available we can use the eng bootloader to get extra fastboot commands. If you set S-ON for whatever reason you must flash a SHIP bootloader first or you will brick your phone. If you aren't sure if you need this or not odds are you probably don't, it can be extremely useful but it assumes you know what you are doing so it is much easier to brick your phone with it.
ramjet, u think jbear 1.57.5757 works with this rom ?
I know that it doesn't. Anything below 1.57 should work though.ramjet, u think jbear 1.57.5757 works with this rom ?
