im wanting to get before the factory updates (software 1.13.651.7 and the HTC WATCH update) because i dont have my phone button on lock screen and becuase i cant watch Green Hornet, even tho the watch update (from what i read) is supposed to fix that problem
It will remove all software updates, but will not remove the hboot updates.

No, it won't. Once an OTA is installed its installed. A factory reset only erases data and apps you installed from market or elsewhere. The only way to undo an OTA is to root the phone and install an earlier RUU.

And here's the winning answer!!!!

There is a post that shows all the stuff that the sd card comes with. When I installed my 32g card at the store I gave the 8g away. But I installed everything back on the sd card. Green horet was one of them. look at the post and install. IIt takes a while to download put it works. hope that helps.

Actually, factory reset and try it. There has been 3 OTAs so far. If you factory reset you will lose the last two. You will not lose the first one. The last two installed to data, and that's the reason you lose them. I have factory reset 3 times now, and I had to reinstall the second two, two of the three times (the first time they were not out yet).

there in lies the problem then....i did the radioshack trade in (i used my upgrade which makes the price 199.99 obviously and then i traded my evo in ((which got me $150)) so that brought the price down to $50 for the EVO 3D now becuase i had an 8 gig with the OG EVO they said hey u wanna keep ur old sd card and we'll just keep the new one.....i didnt realize that the movie was on the sd card and not the phone so that explains it all

You also got screwed on the speed of the card, the Evo cards were class 2 and the Evo 3D came with a Class 4 card.

I'll give you a partial right on this. The first OTA was a true OTA and updated the rom. The other so called OTAs were an update to a specific program, Watch, which did not rewrite the rom so those would get erased by a factory reset. If it was a true OTA then a factory reset would not reset the OTA.

No... Sorry, but you can root & still get OTA's
Also, the phone should of had a 2gb micro SD inside it already (It really has 14 GB internal)

Well, you can go to the market and search for "OCLF" (One click Lagfix)
It has an option to root the phone, then you can install a lagfix right inside it.
But as far as Avatar goes, sorry. I don't have it anymore.

the update.zip needs to be on the root of your internal sd card (which is not removable so you definitly have one
then just reboot into recovery and flash it

My wife's EVO 3D, completely stock, S-ON, never installed the OTA update.
The phone was on and she had it in her pocket and felt it vibrate, when she looked at the phone, it was booting up but it appeared to be stuck in a boot loop. She said she saw it rebooting itself (just the initial sprint splash screen) several times before she pulled the battery.
She re-installed the battery, but the phone wouldn't turn on. So she left it alone and brought it home.
The reboot loop was a bit concerning to me, but the phone not turning on sounds like a drained battery. So, I put it on the charger (AC power adapter) for about an hour (orange led is lit).
When I turn it on, I see the boot screen (HTC -> Sprint -> 3D -> Sprint) and then the screen goes black. The soft key LEDs are stuck on the entire time. but nothing happens. I let it sit like that for 10 minutes and it never boots. I've tried several times with the same result.
I can get into hboot (Volume-down + Power)... Almost feels like a corrupt stock ROM?? I can check the CRC, but I don't know the correct values... And no one has tried to root or flash it. I asked if she might have accidentally started the OTA update, but she says not likely...
I've searched the forums here and various others, and it seems all not-booting and endless-boot-loop issues are all due to people trying to root or flash an image.
So.... I don't have a whole lot of experience with Android... What's the next step before attempting a factory reset or bringing it back to Sprint?
Thanks!
EDIT: Typos
Wow, this is very weird. My advice is if you still have 30 day return use it or insurance, bring it to sprint. If not both call HTC and complain but I doubt they cover software issues, idk I might be wrong. Why fix it? Get a brand new one, you paid for it to be working, not broken.

You said you can do a factory reset? I'd say do that first before trying anything else. If it works, then the only thing she has to worry about is taking 30 minutes of her time to re-set up her phone.

My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! Screw Tupac. "A,O,S,P BACK!" >_
Try removing the SD card and see if it will boot up properly. I had that happen to me once (boot loop and all). Phone would boot fine without the SD card.
I ended up having to format the SD card (connected to my PC with a card reader). That solved the problem.
This happened to my phone once. A factory reset from the bootloader fixes it good as new. It's been like a month and a half since then and I have had no problems since then.

I know! I had her not install the OTA because I had intended to root the phone... I'm so tempted to just root the thing and flash something nice, but I don't want to risk it in case it is a more serious problem and we need Sprint to replace it... Maybe if the factory reset fixes it for a couple of weeks, then I'll consider again...

Noooo, he can root and solve the problem that way. Just visit Haus's stock ROM thread, and he'll have everything there for you. A stock rooted ROM with all the OTA firmware fixes available for download. Just root first.
This is assuming you live in the U.S, and own the Sprint Evo 3D (CDMA).

Yeah.. I know not to take the OTA... I'm going to root it eventually.
I looked through the complete list of ROMs and didn't see Haus mentioned anywhere... Am I missing something?
Also, is there a common consensus on the top two or three Sense ROMs for the EVO 3D?

*14 days if bought on the 16th.
Try these things:
- Take batter off and hold power button down for like 10 secs, put battery back in.
- Download the RUU from a thread in the development section and flash it (it will replace everything back to stock).
That SHOULD fix it, if its a software issue, if it doesn't, or it still continues to act funky, just take it back to Sprint and demand a new one since you're within your 14/30 days.
Make sprint replace it the phone will be doing the so thing after resting it or trying any other trick its a software issue belive me I had 5 replacements because of software issues

Need to know what rom you're running. what kernel, are you s-on or off?
Another thing...
If you remove the battery often, the back of your phone case has contacts that can corrode or get dirty.
Take a pencil with a rubber eraser, orjust an eraser and rub ot on all the gold contacts on the case and the phone main body.
the antennas are in the back case. make sure you dont get any rubber in the phone.
get it cleaned and put back together and see how it does!

After that I've tried every single rom - viper amaze, cm 10.1, pretty much every single rom with over 4.5 rating, no luck. I also did factory reset, deleted cache and dalvik cache, also deleted all partition except SD card, backed up and formated sd card as well.... did all that i could. And oh I'm on the default kernel (haven't flashed the custom kernel yet).
I'll try the cleaning contacts and pray to god it works

1.a ruu can't be loaded from 4ext it only works on bootloader when you name it PH85IMG.zip

Hmmm that's what I'm saying that for some reason the RUU (named as PH85IMG.zip) does not get recognized at all by 4-ext recovery (still on ROOT of sd-card). the same file PH85IMG.zip when i go into ext_sd folder from 4-ext recovey; i can run it by selecting it manually.

Well, I just let my phone sit off for a few hours and now it's working again. This is exactly what I did: I took the sim out, left it off for a while, turned it on, turned it off for a while again and then stuck the sim card back in. I hope it helps ngtmobile

Nope it didn't - I've been doing it for last 3-4 days. I flashed roms, ruus, formatted phone, sd card, boot, cursed HTC, amaze, T-Mobile. I kept the phone turned off, stared at it from some distance for a few hours, prayed different lords and chanted "buzz buzzz buzzz buzzz buzzzz" standing on just one leg - none of it helped :silly:
Oh Amaze, why did you do this to me 4-5 months before my contract end date? God damn it!!!!
I'm sorry man. Funny post though!

Turn on the phone while holding volume down with ph85img.zip on the root of the card.

Okay so here's what I'm doing
1) Place PM85img.zip to the root the external SDcard.
2) Reboot into recovery (power + Vol down)
3) It doesn't recognize PM85img
4) select install zip file and navigate to ext_sd folder where I do see the PM85img, when manually select it; it did take me to Android 2.3 factory reset (Note: the ICS RUU I flashed errored out by saying some build file missing - I'll post the screenshot later).
5) Still no luck with the signals.
NEXT: I'll try to connect the phone to computer and place the file to internal sd storage (root) and see if it picks up the PM85img.zip automatically.
Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.

Hmmmm Okay jokes apart; what am I doing wrong? I'm not being ignorant; perhaps I'm missing something simple and not able to realize it 'cos I'm too frustrated with this situation. I've listed the steps to flash stock RUU above.
First off, this happened when I got the phone when it was fully stock.
Now it's rooted, unlocked bootloader, s-off running carbon aosp.
Randomly my phone will shut down/off and will NOT power back on until I plug it into a charger (house charger, car charger sometimes works).
I;ve tried getting into recovery when it does this and it does nothing at all.
It's a PITA like today I was riding my mountain bike on trails miles away from my car and I was supposed to give my buddy a ride to work and my chain decided to snap (and of course I forgot my multi tool in my garage) so I had to walk back and had no way to call him and let him know.
I've read it's happened to other people and they had their phones replaced and it still happened, is this that common? what can it be
There is some instability with the new 3.4 kernel on certain AOSP ROM's from what I've read (not sure if Carbon is one of them). First thing I would do would be to flash a stable Sense ROM and see if the problem persists. If so, you may have a hardware issue. At that point you can take it in to Sprint and let them look at it. If you're concerned about the phone being rooted & S-off you can run Viperboy's RUU tool, which will restore your phone to totally stock condition.

Do you think it could be a SD card issue? My card is a few years old. I took my catf out and put it in I guess only half way and the phone shut off and did the same thing. I put it back in and un mounted it and so far its fine. I formatted it before switching from my epic 4g touch.

It's possible I suppose. I've seen people post before about issues with their cards. Try a different one and see.

Haven't had a chance to buy a new SD card, but I removed mine and have not had a reboot since.

the card is oldddd. i formatted it twice via my pc.
I'm backing it up to my pc and then buying a new card, 16gb's are $15-20 nowadays lol this one is like a class 2 or some low one, it's back when they were $30-35 a card. Thinking of a Sony or PNY class 10 at Fry's it's like $15-20 the sony is supposed to be up to 40mb/s

Similar problem with random reboots
I was on vacation and in the middle of the trip my phone just started going insane by rebooting on its own. Most of the time it would only get half way though the boot screen then shut off again. It varied how far through the bootscreen it would last then shut off. Occasionally the phone actually made it through the entire boot process, once i was at my home screen it would pop up the power menu and ask if i wanted to power off, reboot, or airplane mode. Then the three hard buttons at the bottom of the phone would flash and then it would shut off. This happened all through vacation. Also, the phone did not always recognize a charge, however, sometimes it did. Once I got home the problem stopped and the phone is not having the random reboots. I went to Gulf Shores, Alabama if your curious..
However now my sd card will not mount to internal storage and I cannot take pictures, use spotify, watch videos i have saved, etc. When I try to pull up these apps, the phone says no external storage available. The thing is, if I go to file manager, I can see the sd card and all of the files, its just when i try to open them from file manager, it loads the gallery app and then it tells me no external storage.
When I go to setting>storage, the option to mount sd card in the sd card spot works. But when I try to mount sd to the internal storage, it does not work. Im seriously confused as I did not download any new apps, or download anything at least within a week prior to going on vacation.
Im running..
CM10
S-On
Hboot 1.15.000
OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405
eMMC-boot
If Im in the fastboot menu, and I click bootloader, it says
SD checking..
Loading [PJ75DIAG.zip]
No Image!
I have done a factory reset and the problem still persists.
Any help would be great.
anyone have recommendations?

thanks for response, sorry for being late to the party.
I cannot mount as usb. the loading circle just spins. when i try to do it in TWRP, it wont let me either.
also when i go to wipe cache or whatever else, it said failed to mount sd card in the console log and it wont let me wipe anything.
when i go to storage in settings, the problem seems like it is with internal storage. under internal storage, it says "mount sd card", when i do this, i get a notification saying preparing sd card but then it goes away after about 2 seconds. then the internal storage area says "mount sd card" again.
I am willing to wipe everything because I got all my photos off the sd card so im okay with wiping it all and starting over. i already did a factory reset but it didnt help. unfortunately i cant wipe cache and other things so i dont know what to do. thanks for your help!

Randomly when I use either the stock camera app, or stock gallery, the SDCard will randomly disconnect itself and take about 5-15 minutes to come back up. Does anyone know a fix for this? I am using a sandisk 16GB card.
I have tried doing a FDR with wiping davlic and system cache with the same results, I have even tried re-installing the ROM on the phone with the same results.
Your card is going bad. Happened to my sanddisk as well. Back it up and reformat. Might help for a bit. It did with my wife's.

The problem is only in gallery and camera. I can view files on the card even in the same directory with any other app with no problems. I called sandisk already they said it is a software issue that I need to contact Samsung about it.

My card failed after one month and my wife's same sandisk class 10 failed after 2 months. It has been covered in the threads over and over. Sandisk had a known bad batch of cards. Mine would not work in phone but would in PC so I was able to back up. My wife was not so lucky and lost everything.

I bought mine at Wal*Mart, the one near me gives people a huge hassle on returning or exchanging electronics.
