Sounds like you need to root you phone first. I would use revolutionary to do so. Its easy and quick did it last week when i got my sprint replacement phone.

Wait what ??? My phone is rooted I'm using the express ROM ...
I been rooted for like 2 years now I just didn't notice that I neeeded S-off to flash hboots or radios. Which is weird because I used to flash radios and flash a new hboot with S-on . But now i can't update the bootanimation the PC36IMG.zip file or update the hboot.

This is no problem. I assume you changed your HBOOT to use the Anthrax kernel? Well, you should've downgraded your radio first, and then this would've been a LOT easier. But, since you're stuck at S-ON, now, you'll need to follow these instructions to fix it.

Hey captain I'm guessing you want me to do this? ?
It'll be okay . Boot into recovery and nandroid. You'll need it once you're done.
Just download this: PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Ra dio_2 .15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip
Rename to PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD Card. Boot into Bootloader, and let it update your device.
Then, once it boots up, got into settings and enable USB Debugging, and go to unrevoked.com and select unrevoked3 to root & NAND unlock your device.
Then, you can switch your recovery to Amon RA, full wipe, and restore your nandroid.

If I do this can I still be able to flash the express rom and the anthrax kernel. Or I have to flash another hboot and then do this process again?..

To do this what rom can I use? ??

You won't have to do anything with your HBOOT anymore after this. This will get you back to S-OFF, and at the end, you'll just restore whatever you're running now (unless you just want to flash something else).
You can flash the Express ROM, the Anthrax kernel, the updated radios, and you'll still be S-OFF.
Trust me, just follow the instructions. it's easy. You have to download and install the Froyo ROM so you can re-root with unrevoked. After that, you're just installing a custom recovery and restoring your nandroid.

Okay I got it but you lost me in the last part. Okay so I need to install a froyo rom right now then update the PC36IMG.zip and then let it boot. Go to settings and use the USB debugging and go to the website install the exe. Root the phone and nandroid it? .....

Help needed. Can't get out of bootloader.

I rooted using unrevoked and unrevoked forever, but I wasn't able to flash cyanogenmod, so I read up on NAND unlock and flashed the PC36IMG.zip from toast's method, but now it always restarts into bootloader and i cant get the os to load. Please help!
You should already have nand unlocked if you did unrevoked. All you you need is the eng hboot fix. Flash that zip in recovery , you can find it in dev section, then you should be able to flash CM hope that helps

This happened to me also. Go into recovery, run the mod zip again. If that doesn't work for you, you never saw me.
when i go into recovery it says E:can't open /cache/recovery/command
so i dont know how to flash anything
oh I see well try running ruu then just do unrevoked one click and youll be set just when you try to flash CM again after that make sure you flash hboot fix or it won't work.
Edit
Just read your post carefully lol czn you go into bootloader

I had this exact issue after I loaded that PC136 file and installed it on my EVO. I wasn't able to do anything but load the bootloader. I finally had enough after 5 hours of no help, and found the shipping ROM and reinstalled the original ROM on my EVO.
i have since re-rooted and will not even dare to go back at this time to try that mess!
People can get you rooted, but they don't know how to get you out of a hole!

my guess would be when you rooted your s boot is still on. it has to be off in order to flash non sense roms. try flashing caulkios http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745205
also go to settings then hardware information. what is your hardware version. once you have this power your phone off then turn it on by holding power down button and the power button this should boot you into bootloader. at top does it say supersonic blah blah blah s-off or s-on. also right below that gives hboot. 0.93.0000 is mine. once i know this i can help more. best guess is s boot is still on though.
Hardware version 003

[Q]CM7 with "S-ON"?

Don't ask how, because I'm not sure, but I am running CM7 on my DINC, and yet I'm "S-ON". My question is, how do I go about gettin it back to "S-OFF"? Do I need to flash back to stock and then re-root? Or can I just re-root with CM7? Or can I just run the unrevoked.zip through CWM? I'm still able to flash rom's. Does the "S-ON" affect anything? Thanks for your assistance!
Being S-ON prevents you from flashing radios and using metamorph themes. Being S-ON or S-OFF doesn't effect your ROM flashing abilities or root. To become S-OFF, use the forever tool on http://www.unrevoked.com

Awesome! Thanks, I'll look into that. Flashing a custom or different boot animation would be cool.

My friend just got the EVO but in the bootloader is says S-off but the hboot says looked oow need help please.
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium
Not sure what you need help with??? Does it have a custom recovery such as clockworkmod or amonra? If so you can flash any Rom to it in recovery or load up an ruu in bootloader if you want it stock. Your choice

[Q] S-Off

hi i wanna know if i can get s-off w/ the classic rom? or do i need to revert back to stock rom?
i got this phone a few months ago, rooted, installed recovery and rom, skipped the s-off because i was lazy. now i wanna install aokp roms and it seems that i need s-off in order to do that. correct me if i'm wrong.
many thanks for your time.
No. You don't need s-off for AOKP. You're fine. Just make sure you backup and wipe properly.

The only problem with s-on is that you need to flash the boot.img from the rom separately in fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

You don't even have to do that I thought? Its flashing radios that need S-OFF.

This is true for the EVO LTE when it's S-on (unless it's Hboot 1.12, then it doesn't matter), but on the OG EVO it's not an issue. Only issue with being S-on on the OG is not being able to flash radios, as stated above.
